Back to the Red Age

Chapter 190 Bao inquires and is frustrated

"That's not possible. Brother Ming, this is for the commune. Although I, Tiedan, are not smart, I can tell the difference clearly. If I dare to ask you to compensate, my father will not break my legs when I go back, right?" Li Tiedan shook his head. He became a rattle. He was famous for his filial piety. He was already old, but he couldn't be beaten by his own father anymore. It would be too embarrassing.

"I know your kid is filial, don't worry, I'll tell your dad not to beat you."

"That won't work. Besides, this thing doesn't take much trouble. I'll just find a piece of material and polish it myself tomorrow."

"Silly boy, if I were you, I would quickly put away this bow." Li Linyong patted Li Tiedan on the shoulder, and Li Tiedan was stunned with a cry, "Why?"

"Who do you think my brother Qin is? The things he can say out loud are... He won't tolerate rejection." Li Linyong originally wanted to say that this guy is very smart and will definitely give good things, but when faced with Qin Ming's smile, With a non-smiling look in his eyes, Li Linyong suddenly felt like he was meeting an eldest sister, and his words suddenly turned a corner.

"That's it, your surname is Li, I believe you won't harm me!" Li Tiedan was a bit naive, but he listened to advice. He thought what Li Linyong said made sense, so he immediately changed his mind, "Brother Ming, Can I accept it now?"

"Now? It's too late!" Qin Ming thought this silly boy was quite interesting and deliberately teased him.

"No, Brother Ming, I was wrong."

"Okay, hurry up and clean up. Wild beasts are infested in the mountains. If we kill so many wild goats at one time, it will be bad if the bloody smell spreads and attracts jackals." Zhang Hu saw Li Tiedan playing tricks and stopped him immediately.

"President, you are just old and have no temper. I hope the jackals will come over. When they come, let us brother Ming give them a good show of brain blossoming."

"Who says it's not the case? With so much mutton, why can't we eat enough for people today?"

If it were anyone else, Principal Wu would dig him out no matter what. Unfortunately, this person was Qin Ming, so he could only sigh.

However, in their last life, their communes merged, and it was Li Tiedan who went to work in the security department of the garment factory. In this life, he switched to the security department of the martial arts school, which seems to be pretty good?

"It's not impossible, but there must be a quota." Li Linyong really thought about this issue.

Principal Wu has already learned from Li Linyong that these sheep are all made by Qin Ming, and they can be killed with just one arrow. This arm strength and accuracy are simply a good shot.

"Principal Wu, I'm really grateful to you this time." After receiving the letter, Li Hongbing rushed over with Accountant Wang. The two parties immediately started a cordial exchange of greetings and compliments, but everyone's thoughts were focused on the wild goat, so it was very difficult. The topic was quickly brought up.

If so many sheep were killed, how much meat would they get?

"This is the first time I've seen so many fat sheep."

At the gate of the martial arts school, more than a hundred teachers and students have gathered around.

"Also, those who don't have bullet holes in their bodies don't need to be counted."

Everyone looked at the wild goats lying on the ground. Although some people briefly wondered about the strangeness of the goats, their attention was soon attracted by the small mountain-like goats. .

"No problem!" Li Hongbing nodded with a smile. It's strange to say that there are very few livestock that are the same size, but this group of sheep are all the same size, which can save a lot of trouble.

"Don't worry," Principal Wu waved his hand, "It's so troublesome. These sheep are all about the same size. We don't need to weigh them. We can just weigh them."

Qin Ming glanced at Li Tiedan. This guy seemed to be stupid.

"Thirty sheep, according to the distribution method agreed before, we will get 80%, that is twenty-four sheep."

"Principal Wu, I need to borrow the nickname of your school cafeteria."

"Brother Qin, you people in this commune are really interesting." Li Linyong thought Li Tiedan was quite funny, and Qin Ming also laughed, "Brother Li, if you find it interesting, go to the security department."

"These are all prime-age sheep. There are so many of them. I guess they are several flocks gathered together. I'm just curious, where did the old sheep and the young sheep go?"

Principal Wu had twenty-four sheep pulled out by a rower, and he also pulled out Qin Ming's six sheep.

"Everyone is not upright. You are sincerely making our school a joke, aren't you? Hurry up and clean it up!" Zhang Hu laughed and cursed, and then led everyone to continue their work.

Although there were only eighteen sheep at once, a rough calculation showed that they weighed over a thousand kilograms. Even if the skin, internal organs and bones were removed, there were still hundreds of kilograms. There were only a hundred people in the martial arts school, so each person could still get several kilograms. As for meat, shouldn’t it be good for people to eat?

"Good boy, you are really good. Next time something good like this happens, be sure to remember to get your Uncle Wu!" Principal Wu pulled Qin Ming aside with a smile and gave him a cigarette. Qin Ming didn't accept it politely. "You don't even have a son, but you're still the principal anyway. You're such a bad person."

"You fool, you think anyone can do it." Principal Wu couldn't stop laughing and gave Qin Ming an annoyed roll of his eyes, "It's the big nine, do you like it or not."

"It's so pitiful. You're so miserable as the principal." Qin Ming clicked his tongue twice, and Principal Wu's expression became even worse.

"If it weren't for your kid's great contribution this time, I would give you a leg up." Principal Wu recited it twice in his mind without getting angry, "By the way, what are you going to do with those sheep? I'll find someone to take care of it and then send you home?"

Qin Ming looked at the six fat sheep that were pulled aside and knew that this was his share.

According to his discussion with Li Hongbing, he could take one and a half of the six sheep.

As for the ones he hunted with bows and arrows, he could divide them into two according to the ratio, so in this trip, he could get three and a half sheep.

Although it was a big loss, both the martial arts school and the commune had gained a good reputation. The most important thing was that it would be much more convenient to eat meat in the future. "Forget it, my father is an old hunter, let him do this job, otherwise you will have to blame me?" Qin Ming rejected Principal Wu's kindness, and then walked towards Li Hongbing.

"Ming, do you think we can take some meat out and exchange it for some food with the martial arts school?" Li Hongbing thought about it in his mind and knew that the commune could keep eighteen and a half heads today, even though it was because of Qin Ming's favor. , but at this moment he was thinking more.

There is not much food at home among the commune members, and many of them have already relied on wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. The food has not yet been harvested. Even if he wants to distribute some food to everyone, there is no way. On the contrary, these fat sheep in front of him can be used.

"Uncle Hongbing, have you thought about it, do you really want to exchange this meat for food?" Qin Ming was also stunned for a moment, but he did not expect that Li Hongbing would think this way.

"Ming, we have discussed this matter three times. After removing the skin, internal organs and bones, it is estimated that these sheep can produce nearly one thousand kilograms. There are one hundred households in our commune. According to the account, each household can get nearly ten Jin, it’s hot now, and it won’t take long for so much meat to go bad, but if you replace it with grain, you can eat it for a longer time.”

"Yes, Ming, we know that you are familiar with Principal Wu, so we want to ask you to help us in private to see if this can be done?"

Zhang Hu and Accountant Wang were also talking on the side, but Qin Ming did not agree. If he came forward on this matter, he might be characterized as a speculator. But if the commune and the school were allowed to talk, it would be a good cooperative relationship, that is, There is no need to make a mistake, "I can't make the decision on this matter. Let's do this. I'll be the middleman and let Principal Wu talk to you face to face."

"That's okay." The three of them agreed directly without hesitation.

"Old Wu, I'm tired from going into the mountains today. Let's go and have a rest in your office." Qin Ming hugged Principal Wu's shoulders and left. Behind him, Zhang Hu asked his team to wait where they were, and then followed Li Hongbing and Accountant Wang. Go up.

"What do you want to do, you brat? Robbery!" Principal Wu saw Qin Ming closing the office door and looked at the three people who followed him into the room, feeling a little unhappy.

"You're not a big girl, why are you robbing me?" Qin Ming sat down on the sofa angrily, "I'm just a transparent person, you can do whatever you want."

Seeing Qin Ming's attitude, Principal Wu guessed that it was Li Hongbing and the others who were looking for him. He was also very clever. Seeing that Qin Ming didn't reveal anything, he knew that the matter was serious. He immediately went over and kicked the sofa, "You stinky boy." You're still sitting, so hurry up and get me a glass of water."

"Okay, you, Mr. Gaogui, sit down and I'll pour you some water." After Qin Ming said that, he turned around and walked out. He didn't take the enamel jar, and Principal Wu didn't remind him. He just watched him go out and closed the door.

"Okay, President Li, just tell me what you have to say." To Li Hongbing and the others, Principal Wu was not so warm on his face and was very cold. Li Hongbing and the others did not take it seriously. He is the principal of the school. He can be like them. Speaking normally is already very good.

"Principal, it's like this. We want to send some mutton to your school. Is it possible?" Li Hongbing said carefully. He was also smart and did not propose an exchange directly. Instead, he used the guise of sending meat.

"Sending meat? These are the best wild goats. You don't want to eat them?" Principal Wu did not agree or refuse. Li Hongbing saw that there was something going on and told the situation in the commune, "There is really nothing we can do. Meat Although it’s good, if you don’t eat meat, you won’t die, if you don’t eat grain, people will die.”

Li Hongbing deliberately exaggerated. Principal Wu understood, but he just shook his head, "Our martial arts school doesn't have a lot of fixed rations. There's no point in asking me for this matter. You might as well go to that brat."

"Qin Ming?" Li Hongbing was very surprised, wondering how he could do this with Qin Ming.

"Don't say anything. When that kid comes back, I'll ask for you." Principal Wu smiled, obviously having an idea in mind.

When Qin Ming came back, he saw several people staring at him, "What do you think I do? I know I'm good-looking, but it doesn't have to be like this, right?"

"Bah, you shameless brat, tell me what you're doing. It's such a hot day. You have something good to do but don't think about your own school?" Principal Wu rolled his eyes angrily, feeling a little sorry for Mr. Sun. , with such an apprentice, the old man must have been annoyed a lot.

"Hey, it's me who got caught. Uncle Hongbing, Uncle Zhang, and Accountant Wang, let's go back first. I have to go into the city." Although there is a lack of meat, it is a hot day now and there are not many people in the martial arts school. How can we eat so much meat? There are many other places that need meat.

But I won’t go to Beiqing. If I meet someone who is not suitable, I can go to the steel rolling mill.

After coming out of the martial arts school, everyone left with their sheep on their shoulders. They first sent three sheep to the Qin family, and then carried the rest to the field department.

"Uncle Hongbing, please reserve some here for everyone. Let's load up the rest on the carriage and go directly to the city." Meat goes bad quickly in summer, so Qin Ming didn't delay, and Li Hongbing and the others also Knowing the seriousness of the matter, we discussed it immediately and finally decided to keep four and a half sheep and send the rest to the city.

Eleven sheep were loaded into two carriages respectively, and the carriages were covered with grass. Li Hongbing and Qin Ming rode in one carriage, and Accountant Wang and another member of the commune drove another one, braving the sun and heading towards the surrounding areas. Nine Cities drove away, but this time Zhang Hu did not go through. He and his people moved the sheep to the shady woods, and then waited for Li Hongbing and others to come back.

The carriage came directly to the gate of the steel rolling mill. When the gatekeeper looked out, he saw Qin Ming sitting on the carriage.

"Why are you here again, kid!" Uncle Ma was obviously still holding grudges for what happened last time. When he saw Qin Ming, he glared at him several times unhappily, but did not stop him and let him in.

"Uncle Bao, you are so particular. Okay, I'll go talk to the factory director. Can you help me keep an eye on my uncle and the others? They've been busy all the way. Can you give me some water?" Qin Ming left after saying that, without even giving him a cigarette. After taking a piece of water, the angry Uncle Ma muttered and cursed for a long time, then turned around and entered the guard room. After a while, he came out with water, "It's really bad to rush on this hot day. You must be thirsty along the way." , drink some water and take a rest.”

"Thank you." Li Hongbing jumped out of the carriage to get the water, but Accountant Wang and the members stayed in the carriage. They had to take good care of the things inside and not throw them away.

"Uncle, you are such a good person." After drinking the cold water, Li Hongbing suddenly felt comfortable all over. He quickly handed the enamel water jar to Accountant Wang behind him. He watched Accountant Wang and the members all drink the water, and then poured out the empty enamel water jar. The cylinder was passed through the gate to express thanks.

"Hey, it's hard to be a good person these days." Uncle Ma waved his hand with a kind look on his face, "Are you all that brat's uncle?"

"In terms of seniority, that's true." Li Hongbing was unsure about the relationship between Qin Ming and this uncle, so he answered cautiously.

"That's his elder. This kid is so uneducated. As elders, why don't you give him a good meal?"

"Good guy, I originally thought that Uncle Bao was good to me, but I had to give Bao cigarettes to show my respect and respect. You are always here to encourage my elders to deal with me. Well, you can't smoke this cigarette anymore. "Qin Ming waved the big bag around the front door, and took it back with satisfaction after seeing Uncle Ma's round eyes.

"You...you" Uncle Ma could only stare at Qin Ming, unable to say anything, because Deputy Factory Director Li was looking at him with a smile, "Uncle Ma, this is a comrade from the Red Star Commune. He is a gift to our factory." Let’s put the stuff in first.”
