Chapter 38: 7 puppies, 3 yellow and 4 gray
Chapter 38 Seven puppies, three yellow and four gray
The salesperson took the money and counted it, which was exactly one hundred yuan. He said, "Wait a moment, I'll have someone get it for you in the back."
It's impossible to put so many Ma Leizi in the front! The space is small, so it's good enough to put a little of each product.
Also, you don’t need a ticket to buy firecrackers. In fact, even in the city, you don’t need a ticket to buy firecrackers.
"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded.
The salesperson turned around and shouted, and another salesperson came over.
"Director, what's the matter?"
"Go to the back and get twenty plates of ma leizi."
"Good director."
Li Jiayi thought that the middle-aged woman was a salesperson, but he didn't expect that she was actually the director here.
This is something I have never seen before, the director standing at the counter himself, this is impossible in the city.
Many of the directors of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city don’t even go to the cooperatives, let alone work behind the counter.
Even if he went there, he would just go into the office and not come out, and no one knew what he was doing inside.
The salesman came back soon, but he was carrying a sack.
Yes, it's a sack, just a little bit worn out.
"Director, all twenty plates of Ma Lei Zi have been brought over."
"Well, let it go!"
"Good director."
The director of the supply and marketing cooperative brought the sack to Li Jiayi and said, "Count it and see if it's correct."
"it is good."
Li Jiayi opened the sack and counted them carefully. There were exactly twenty plates, no more, no less.
That's a thousand Ma Leizi! You can exchange them for a lot of good things.
"Young comrade, how are you going to take away so many?" asked the director.
I guess she thought that it was impossible for Li Jiayi, a child, to carry so many things.
You have to know that this Ma Lei Zi is not light! Twenty plates of Ma Lei Zi weigh about 60 to 70 kilograms.
"Director, can you give me this sack?" Li Jiayi asked, pointing to the torn sack containing the bombs.
"can."
As soon as the director finished speaking, Li Jiayi picked up the sack and walked out carrying it on his back.
This made the director so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and he thought: This child is so strong.
After Li Jiayi left the supply and marketing cooperative, he kept walking forward with the sack on his back. When he was some distance away from the cooperative, he found an alley and went in.
When he emerged from the alley, the sack had disappeared.
Not long after walking, Li Jiayi saw an uncle carrying a Type 56 rifle on his back.
Although guns were not uncommon in that era, Li Jiayi had only seen them on the guards in various factories.
And it only happens within the factory area. Guns must be returned after get off work, even by the police.
It was the first time he had seen someone carrying a gun on the street, except for a soldier.
And it was a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.
In front of the uncle, there is a large basket woven with rattan, which is usually used to hold grass for feeding pigs in rural areas.
Li Jiayi was very interested in the gun, so he walked a little closer and discovered that there were several puppies in the basket.
"Hello uncle! Is this your puppy?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Yes." The uncle nodded.
"Uncle, this dog is so small, why did you put it here?"
It seems that these puppies were born not long ago, and they are lying in the basket and sleeping.
"I'm looking for owners for them." "Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and asked, "Uncle, are you planning to sell these puppies?"
The uncle shook his head and said, "It's not selling, it's giving."
"Send? Why?"
These puppies are so cute. Li Jiayi doesn’t understand why this uncle wants to give them away.
"I'm a forest ranger on the mountain. If it was just one or two, I would have thought of a way to keep them alive, but with seven at once, I simply can't keep them alive, so I can only give them away."
"Ah! Seven!"
They were all lying together, and Li Jiayi really didn't realize there were so many of them.
However, after hearing what the forest ranger said, Li Jiayi knew that it was true and the salary of a forest ranger was not high.
Basically, just like the people in the city, we also have a fixed quota, and at most we go hunting when we have nothing to do.
But it is basically impossible to feed seven dogs at once. You know, dogs are okay when they are young, but they can be very greedy when they grow up.
"Uncle, what kind of dog is this? It looks pretty good."
“This is a wolf-dog.”
"Wolfdog?" Li Jiayi looked at him in surprise.
Wolfdog Li Jiayi knows! He is often seen in later generations.
Many people think that wolfdogs are the offspring of wolves and dogs. In fact, this is not entirely true. Although wolves and dogs do not have reproductive isolation and can have offspring, this is only one kind.
In fact, there are many types of wolfdogs, and all dogs that look like wolves are called wolfdogs.
Wolfdogs are easy to identify, with their erect ears and coat colors of yellow, white and gray. Of course, there are also some hybrid breeds with a variety of coat colors.
Pure wolfdogs only come in three colors: yellow, white and gray.
Of course, the white here is not pure white, it is just a grayish white.
Li Jiayi squatted down, touched the puppy and asked, "Uncle, why are your puppies different? These three are yellow, and the other four are gray."
"That's because their mother is a pure yellow wolf-dog, and their father is a gray wolf."
Hearing what the uncle said, Li Jiayi seemed to understand. Needless to say, the mother of these puppies should be the uncle's hunting dog.
As for the gray wolf, it is probably a wild wolf in the mountains.
In this case, these seven puppies are pure first-generation wolfdogs, and they are wolfdogs in the true sense of the word.
"Uncle, how about this, you give me these puppies! Of course, you can also sell them to me."
"For you? Can you feed them?"
Obviously the uncle didn't pay attention to what he said next.
Yes, looking at the gun on this uncle's back, you can tell that he should be a soldier who has retired from the battlefield.
Since he came down the mountain to give these puppies away, how could he possibly sell them?
"Of course, uncle, my family has no shortage of money or food."
"Uh!"
After hearing what Li Jiayi said, the uncle was speechless. In this era, who dares to say that his family has enough money and food?
Seeing that the uncle didn't seem to believe it, Li Jiayi became anxious and said quickly: "Uncle, what I said is true."
After that, he reached into his schoolbag, took out four or five big black tens, and said, "Uncle, look, I didn't lie to you!"
The uncle looked at the money in Li Jiayi's hand, then looked at Li Jiayi and said, "I believe you can feed them."
Are you kidding? At this time, let alone a ten-year-old child, even a working adult cannot carry so much money with him!
For example, he searched his whole body but couldn't find even twenty dollars.
"Then this little dog..."
"You can take the puppy away! I'll give you the basket, too." After saying this, the uncle turned around and left.
