Chapter 1505 Wang Meilan’s New Year’s goal—one million!
The meal on the first day of the new year in the afternoon still consisted of twelve dishes, four cold and eight hot, including chicken and meat.
The men ate in the west room, and then drank tea, smoked and chatted in the west room after eating.
The women were in the outer room, chatting while washing dishes and collecting leftovers.
The children were playing on the kang in the east room. They paired the stuffed bear, stuffed puppy, and stuffed kitten with the little black bear, the little black fat cat, and the little lynx, and made them pose in various postures.
The little black bear and the little lynx have taken care of these children for a long time and have become accustomed to cooperating and allowing the children to play with them.
On the contrary, the little black fat boy, who had never experienced this before, was somewhat resistant. But as a small piece of the trough cake entered his mouth, the little black fat boy immediately became more obedient.
Everyone recognized that the old lady and Li Tongyun did not need to work. The old lady and Li Tongyun sat leaning against the kang cabinet. The old lady held Li Tongyun's hand and whispered to them.
The old lady asked Li Tongyun about her opinion of Jie Chen, and then confirmed that Li Tongyun had no interest in Jie Chen at all. The old lady said that after the Chinese New Year, she would go to find her niece Liu Tiezui from her mother's family and ask the matchmaker to find a son-in-law for Li Tongyun who was good-looking and had a good temper.
Li Tongyun agreed without hesitation. At this time, Li Tongyun's eyes swept over Li Ruhai who was sitting in front of the TV, and then whispered to the old lady: "Grandma Jiang, look at Ruhai, he seems to be getting more and more abnormal."
The Zhao family did not turn off the television today, but from morning till now, the only few TV stations that showed screens were all playing reruns of the Spring Festival Gala.
No matter how good a program is, you can't watch it over and over again. But whenever Li Ruhai has time, he sits in front of the TV. The child not only watches, but also seems to mutter something along.
The old lady looked at Li Ruhai following Li Tongyun's words and met Li Ruhai's gaze as he turned back.
Li Ruhai seemed to hear someone talking to him. He glanced at Li Tongyun next to him and said with a smile, "Miss, I am also a matchmaker. How about I help you get together?"
"Go away..." Li Tongyun felt something was wrong as soon as he opened his mouth, and quickly changed his words: "Go away!"
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at Li Ruhai, then raised her finger and pointed at him, warning him, "I'm telling you, you can't go out and talk nonsense about my affairs."
Li Ruhai glanced at Li Tongyun, and when he turned back, he muttered, "Who would care to talk about your hooliganism?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Li Tongyun didn't quite understand, but she vaguely heard that what Li Ruhai said didn't seem to be good, so she immediately rolled up the sleeve of the sweater on her right arm with her left hand.
"Ah?" Li Ruhai saw that things were not going well, and hurriedly tried to make amends by saying, "I heard that there is an old Wang family in Yongli, and the fourth son of his family is quite good. I will ask him for you one day."
"Which Old Wang's family?" the old lady asked hurriedly. Her husband's nephew's family was in Yongli, and she was familiar with almost all the elderly people in that village.
It would be strange if Li Ruhai could say it, but at this moment, Li Tongyun stopped the old lady and said to Li Ruhai: "I don't need you, just stay quiet and wait for you."
"No need." Li Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief and continued to watch TV to study on his own.
At this time, the work in the outer room was almost done. Jin Xiaomei held a pile of bowls in both hands, turned them upside down to drain the water twice, and placed the bowls in the bowl rack.
Yang Yufeng wrung out the clean rags, and she and Xu Chunyan hung them one by one in front of the fire wall.
"Let's go inside." Wang Meilan said, "Let's go to the meeting!"
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Xing San, Wang Qiang, Li Dazhi and Lin Xiangshun, who were sitting on the kang in the west room, all moved.
Among the four of them, one is an employee of the Chamber of Commerce, and the other three are shareholders.
As for Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong, the fact that they did not attend the meeting can be described as eccentric to put it nicely, but also as being out of touch to put it bluntly.
When Xing San got off the kang, he passed by Zhao Youcai. The old man called Zhao Youcai and said, "Come on, second brother, aren't you going to the meeting?"
"I'm not going." Zhao Youcai curled his lips and said, "What am I driving?"
After hearing what he said, Xing San stopped caring about him. Normally, the old man was much more withdrawn than Zhao Youcai. But since he came down the mountain, the old man felt that it was more and more interesting to be with the Zhao family, so he took the initiative to integrate into this small group.
Wang Qiang came out of the west room first. When he saw Wang Meilan, he immediately winked at his sister.
Wang Meilan understood instantly and walked towards the west room.
When she entered the room, Wang Meilan saw Zhao Youcai sitting on the kang, taking out a cigarette from his pocket.
"His father." Wang Meilan went over, opened the outermost door of the kang cabinet, took out the account book from inside and stuffed it into Zhao Youcai's arms, saying, "You are the shopkeeper, you have to hold a meeting for us."
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was stunned and subconsciously looked at Li Dayong. At this time Li Dayong was also a little confused.
"What are you talking about?" Wang Meilan smiled and pulled Zhao Youcai, saying, "According to the old saying, you are the shopkeeper. According to the current trendy saying, you are the president."
The shopkeeper and the president are not important. What’s important is that without Zhao Youcai, who would be willing to stay at home?
"President?" Zhao Youcai blinked his eyes and got off the kang as Wang Meilan pulled him.
"Dayong." Jin Xiaomei suddenly appeared at the door and called Li Dayong, "You can also go to the meeting with us. Big brother has already gone."
Zhao Youcai was about to leave, so Li Dayong and a group of kids were the only ones left in the room, so when Jin Xiaomei gave him a way out, Li Dayong came down without saying a word.
Seeing Li Dayong getting off the kang, Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei turned around and smiled at each other. Although Li Dayong was not at home very often, he still had one day off every week. Such an excellent laborer could not be missed.
When the four of them were walking towards the outer room, a group of children came out from the east room, and at this time Lin Xiangshun put the tape into the tape recorder.
As the play button was pressed, the athletes' march sounded in the east room of the Zhao family.
The atmosphere is instantly filled!
During the first three meetings, the women sat in a row along the edge of the kang, while the men sat on benches underneath.
Today, as soon as Wang Meilan entered the room, she waved to Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan and others who were already sitting on the edge of the kang, and said, "Lingzi, Yan'er, you two should move to the side."
As she spoke, Wang Meilan held Zhao Youcai's arm and pulled him over.
Then, Wang Meilan turned around and called Li Dayong, saying, "Dayong, sit next to your elder brother."
So, at the first general shareholders' meeting of the Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce in 1988, such a scene occurred.
There was a row of people sitting along the edge of the kang, with Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong sitting in the middle. On Zhao Youcai's side was Wang Meilan, and on Li Dayong's side was Jin Xiaomei.
As Wang Meilan pressed her hand down, Lin Xiangshun turned off the music.
"Um, cough." Wang Meilan cleared her throat twice as she stood up and said, "Today is the first day of the new year. Let's get together for a meeting. Sister Sun and Xiaochen are not here..."
At this point, Wang Meilan looked at the old lady and said, "But Aunt Jiang can represent him and his mother."
The old lady nodded, and Wang Meilan continued, "Before the New Year, through the joint efforts of all of us, we made a lot of money!"
Hearing Wang Meilan's words, everyone smiled. Although there is no dividend now, the living standards of several families are getting better and better.
Wang Meilan has learned a lot and made a lot of progress from watching the news in the past month. Especially the speech by Sister D after the bell last night, which benefited Wang Meilan a lot.
Wang Meilan raised her hand and pushed it forward, saying, "Today is the first day of the new year. Let's keep working hard in the new year and try to earn a million!"
"Good!" After hearing Wang Meilan's words, Li Ruhai was the first to respond and led the applause.
The small room was filled with applause. Influenced by the atmosphere and emotions, Zhao Youcai unconsciously put the account book on his lap and started to applaud.
But because he raised his hands too slowly, before he could clap twice, the applause was stopped by Wang Meilan's downward hands.
"Just now I said I wanted to earn a million. Did you guys think I was just shouting slogans?" Wang Meilan asked everyone with a smile, and everyone just smiled without saying anything.
The business of the Chamber of Commerce is displayed there, and the accounts are open and transparent. Everyone knows how to make money from business, and everyone has a rough idea of how much they can earn in a year.
The business of Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce is mainly divided into two parts: bear bile and hides.
Bear bile is available all year round, but bear skins are a bit more complicated.
In the leather business, the hides with the highest individual profit are large hides, and the most numerous are yellow leaves.
But among all the seasons, only winter can produce traps, and only in winter can there be yellow leaves and large bark.
So under normal circumstances, the Chamber of Commerce’s business would shrink by more than half.
Although there are spring hunting in Yongan and Yongxing this year, the animals hunted in spring hunting are mostly large animals, mainly wild boars, roe deer, and black bears. So the main source of money for spring hunting is bear bile. There are also skins and other things, but they are rare.
How many people in Yongan and Yongxing can hunt bears? There won't be many bear galls for sale.
Therefore, even if Zhao Jun now joins the Yongxing Brigade and can receive large-scale goods from Yongxing twice a year, the profit is still limited.
As for the rare mountain treasures hunted by the Zhao Family Gang, such as golden bear gall, they are the Zhao Family Gang's combat items and are not included in the dividend distribution.
Everyone has an account in mind. If everyone works hard this year and several families earn 100,000 yuan together, then it is no problem. But if they earn more than that, I am afraid it will not work.
Of course, everyone is satisfied with earning this much. But as Wang Meilan said, earning a million a year is just a beautiful hope.
But at this moment, Wang Meilan raised her hand and gestured to Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun took out a small blackboard from under the table against the wall.
This small blackboard was brought by Li Baoyu from his father-in-law's house. It was kept for Li Tongyun to use for tutoring the children after the New Year.
Since the blackboard arrived at home, Zhao Hong wanted to destroy it immediately. But as soon as she did so, she was caught by Wang Meilan.
Wang Meilan did not beat the little girl, but only told Zhao Hong that if there was any problem with the blackboard, she would hold Zhao Hong accountable.
Zhao Jun turned over the blackboard and saw four big words written on it: Tiger Blood Pills.
When seeing these four words, everyone started whispering and talking to each other. The one who reacted the most was Li Dayong, who grabbed Zhao Youcai's arm.
Zhao Youcai shook his head slightly, signaling Li Dayong to stay calm.
Just as Zhao Youcai was about to speak, Wang Meilan said, "Some people have heard of Tiger Blood Pills, but some have not. Now, let me explain to everyone what this is."
At this point, Wang Meilan waved her hand to signal Zhao Jun to remove the small blackboard, then cleared her throat and said, "Before my father passed on a recipe to us, it's this tiger blood pill..."
In the following minutes, Wang Meilan described in detail the process of obtaining the tiger blood pills, but she did not mention how her father dominated the area.
Because in Wang Meilan's heart, her father was always a kind-hearted, amiable fresh goods merchant and horse seller, and had nothing to do with the boss of Shibadaogang.
After talking about how to obtain tiger blood balls, Wang Meilan told everyone about the value of tiger blood balls.
This value is discussed from two aspects. On the one hand, it is the information provided by Wang Changhai and Zhao Youcai, and on the other hand, it is the words of Huang, the shopkeeper of Hebei Changchuntang.
I heard that the tiger blood pills were so valuable that one pill was equal to the Chamber of Commerce's profit for a month before the New Year, so everyone was tempted.
But at this time, Lin Xiangshun questioned, "Second Aunt, the big claws must be protected."
With the Zhao army, the Zhao Family Gang, and the Zhao Family Dog Gang, no one doubts that the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce has the ability to capture the Siberian tiger and imprison it.
"We won't kill it." Wang Meilan said, "We'll cut open the flesh inside its thigh without severing the aorta. Once eighty-one tiger blood beads fall off, the wound will heal on its own."
"Ninety-nine eighty-one!" Li Ruhai, who was watching the TV version of Journey to the West recently, was the first to react and said, "This number is perfect!"
As soon as Li Ruhai finished speaking, Wang Meilan asked Lin Xue, "Sister-in-law, is this okay?"
"No problem." Lin Xue said, "As long as you don't cut the aorta, there will be no problem."
After saying this, Lin Xue added: "If it really doesn't work, feed it a handful of painkillers before cutting."
With Lin Xue's words, Lin Xiangshun felt much more at ease.
But at this time, Wang Qiang had another question and said, "We don't have any big claws here anymore. My nephew has grabbed all the big claws."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Yes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Without tigers, where can we make tiger blood balls?
"That black tiger, isn't he heading to the Dawn side?" The person who spoke was Li Dayong. He only said, "Let my elder brother chase him over."
"How could your elder brother chase it?" As soon as Wang Qiang said this, Zhao Youcai glared at him fiercely, but Wang Qiang didn't notice it and continued, "That big claw is going to run towards Luosha."
"That's okay." Wang Qiang finished speaking, and before Li Dayong could speak again, Wang Meilan called Zhao Jun and said, "Son, tell us what you think."
"Hey!" Zhao Jun responded, and stood up and said, "I'm going to get one ear back."
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, everyone reacted.
A few days ago, the TV broadcast the 84 cartoon "Black Cat Sheriff". Although the cartoon was only five short episodes, it left a deep impression on these people.
When Li Dayong heard Sheriff Black Cat and the others call the mouse "One Ear", following Zhao Youcai's eye signal, he mentioned that his eldest brother had also shot out One Ear with a gun.
Moreover, Sheriff Black Cat fights mice, while his elder brother fights tigers.
"Hey? Aren't you sending that big claw away?" Li Dazhi asked. Zhao Jun said, "We'll leave on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Our first stop will be Uncle Zhao. I'll talk to him and see if we can get that ear back!"
"That's great, big brother!" As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, Li Ruhai slapped his thigh and stood up, saying angrily: "Let it bleed!"
"Right!" Li Baoyu also stood up and said loudly, "After bleeding it, catch it again and raise it! Release it the next year!"
