Chapter 70, bear paw
"Chen Guohua, come out here, I want to challenge you to a duel!"
In the middle courtyard, at the door of the east wing, Hao Chaoyue said angrily.
In the cheerful yard, many neighbors poked their heads out of their front doors.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Someone actually came to Chen’s house to fight?
What is going on here? The neighbors were all surprised, and some little kids even came directly to the yard, stood behind Hao Chaoyue, and became a crowd.
Squeak!
There was a harsh knock on the door, and Chen Guohua walked out of the room.
Looking at the angry Hao Chaoyue, he frowned slightly and said:
"Hao Chaoyue, where did you put your tendon in the wrong place?"
There is no doubt that the reason why Hao Chaoyue came to visit him probably had a lot to do with Yu Xiaoli.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to suddenly come to his house and cause trouble.
"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. There is no need for you to come to my house in person to wish me a happy New Year."
"fart!"
When Hao Chaoyue heard this, he immediately became even more angry:
"If you have the guts, just like a man, do you dare to fight with me?"
"I'm worried about getting my hands dirty when I fight with someone like you. If you really want to fight, then just treat me as a loser."
After a pause, Chen Guohua continued:
"You win, you go back and take your victory with you in triumph."
laugh! Hearing this, Hao Chaoyue was immediately confused: What the hell?
This is completely unreasonable.
Neighbors such as Zhao Yuzhi, Aunt Jiang, and Jiang Tangshi also started talking about it when they saw this scene.
Anyone with life experience knows that Chen Guohua's trick is amazing!
What's the point of fighting?
There will be no reward for winning, but it may escalate the conflict and hurt someone by mistake.
If you lose, you will be injured, you will have to spend money for treatment, you will be embarrassed, etc.
So, the best way is not to fight.
Taking the initiative to admit defeat is not a sign of cowardice, but rather a sign of wisdom in life.
Looking at Chen Guohua Gujing Wubo's face, one can tell that he is a very mature and steady person.
Just when Hao Chaoyue reacted and was about to speak.
Director Xie came out of the hall and said to everyone with a smile:
"Happy New Year to everyone, have you had dinner? Is it a hospital-wide meeting that everyone is gathering together?"
Xie Xiaofang's arrival immediately made the atmosphere in the yard much more cheerful.
With everyone talking to each other, Xie Xiaofang quickly knew what happened.
"Comrade, do you have any conflicts with Guohua?"
Hao Chaoyue looked at Xie Xiaofang and knew from the neighbors that the other party was an official.
Dang even glared at Chen Guohua fiercely, then turned and left.
During the whole process, Xie Xiaofang's words were ignored.
The latter was a little embarrassed, but she managed her expression quite well, and she quickly said Happy New Year to Chen Guohua.
Use this to resolve the embarrassment.
The neighbors were a little disappointed. After all, they didn't get to eat the big melon.
Xie Xiaofang, who came to the courtyard, seemed to simply wish her a happy New Year.
Director Xie didn't say anything to Chen Guohua. After a few simple chats about home affairs, Director Xie left.
As for Hao Chaoyue, she didn't ask too much.
She just said that if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell her.
Chen Guohua understood this kind of show of kindness immediately.
The other party chose to visit today, and it turned out to be a good time.
I'm afraid it has something to do with his final exam results, right?
It's just that unlike Fan Xinhe, she is relatively the blink of an eye, the next day, Chen Guohua got up early in the morning again and started digging the basement.
In the new year, I started working on the second day of junior high school.
After digging the basement, he went to the pigeon market again.
It was probably during the Spring Festival, and the Pigeon Market was extremely lively, which was beyond his expectation.
"Hello, comrade, what is this?"
After wandering for a few steps, Chen Guohua saw a dark object in a basket and couldn't help but squat down and asked.
There is a fishy smell and a faint smell of blood.
The other party moved the kerosene lamp closer, and Chen Guohua could see clearly.
It was an animal's paw, gray and black with brown hair.
"This is a bear paw, comrade, do you want to buy it?"
Bear's paw?
Hearing this, Chen Guohua was suddenly surprised.
I heard it countless times in my previous life, and even remembered it the most when I was studying:
You can not have it both ways!
Now that he could actually see the bear's paw, he immediately became interested and asked the other party how much it would cost.
The price surprised him, and it was five cents cheaper than pork.
Can you buy bear paws for only [-] cents per pound? I picked it up and weighed it. It weighed about eleven or two kilograms.
He didn't know much about animals like bears.
But the biological hard drive in the brain can query information.
It can also be roughly calculated from the bear's paws that this should be a medium-sized grizzly bear.
From this point of view, a bear paw costs about five yuan.
Too expensive! However, thinking of the 100 yuan fee he received on the spot for the translation manuscript he submitted before, Chen Guohua immediately decided to take the bear's paw.
There were two more in the basket, but he was not greedy and could just buy one.
Whether bear paws are delicious or not, I have never eaten them once in my two lifetimes.
You can legally cook bear paws in this life, so why not give it a try?
"Comrade, please weigh me, I want this one."
After making the decision, Chen Guohua made a deal with the other party.
After being weighed, it was determined to be a little over twelve pounds.
The other party only calculated it based on twelve kilograms, so Chen Guohua gave the other party five yuan and forty cents.
Hey, you can eat bear's paws for only five dollars and forty cents. This deal is worth it!
After taking down the bear paw, Chen Guohua continued shopping.
Soon he heard the whine of the puppy.
Someone sells a dog?
Forget it about dogs, it’s such a waste of food.
Chen Guohua shook his head, not intending to communicate with the other party.
But he soon smelled the smell of mushrooms.
It was a very faint scent, but he definitely smelled it.
After squatting down, he asked the other party if they had mushrooms for sale? "Hey, comrade, your nose is sharp enough, can you smell this?"
The man in the straw hat said with a warm smile.
Under the kerosene lamp, Chen Guohua could see clearly that the shiitake mushrooms were still covered in moss. They were dry and not very good looking.
This is the real wild shiitake mushroom, absolutely the best of the best.
Chen Guohua should not be too familiar with common fungi like shiitake mushrooms.
Whether it is wild shiitake mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms grown in ordinary mountains and forests, or shiitake mushrooms grown in greenhouses.
He has seen them all and knows the difference between them.
There is a minority ethnic group in the south called the Yao people.
This ethnic group likes to cut down liquidambar, basswood, southwestern birch and other trees in the deep mountains and old forests.
