The Uncle Deming that Gu Jianjun mentioned was Gu Yu's grandfather, Gu Deming.
It was normal. After all, Gu Yu's father did not grow up in the village. There were too few people who knew him. The only old man in the village who knew him was Gu Yu's grandfather, Gu Deming.
"Yes, Grandpa, my grandfather is Gu Deming.”Hearing Gu Jianjun's words, Gu Yu nodded in agreement.
"Come in!" Hearing that it was Gu Deming's grandson, Gu Jianjun opened the door with a smile and led Gu Yu in.
When Gu Yu walked in, he also saw the owner of those eyes that made his heart palpitate.
These were all dogs from Lu Province. He had heard of this kind of dog before. It was the best hunting dog in Yan Huang. It was excellent at catching rabbits.
However, in recent years, because hounds were no longer needed to hunt, the market for this kind of dog was very bad. Later, someone introduced dog racing to China. At first, this kind of dog still had some market. Note that the dog racing here was not a biting competition like Monty's, but a race similar to horse racing. It was a competition to see who was faster.
At first, the Lu Province Hound had a place in such competitions, but soon, its status declined rapidly because of the introduction of Greyhounds.
It had to be said that dogs were different from each other. The strength of the Lu Province Hound lay in its agility, obedience, and explosive power. In terms of straight-line speed, it was indeed inferior to a Greyhound. Therefore, at the beginning, some people said that the speed of a fine dog was inferior to a Greyhound. This was very true, but as time passed, it became a fine dog that was inferior to a Greyhound.
If it was possible, Gu Yu would be very happy if he could sell one of the small dogs in the courtyard to him. However, he reckoned that Gu Jianjun would not sell it.
He followed Gu Jianjun into the house. After they sat down, Gu Jianjun poured a glass of water for Gu Yu and sat opposite him. He took out a box and rolled up a cigarette in front of Gu Yu. At the same time, he looked at Gu Yu.
"Kid, you must have something to say to me. Tell me, what are you looking for me for?”Gu Jianjun said with a smile as he rolled his pipe.
Indeed, Gu Yu's family was not related to Gu Jianjun's family, nor did they have any connections. Although they both had the surname Gu, they did not come here to visit. Therefore, Gu Yu must have a reason for coming here. Gu Jianjun used to be a soldier and a forest ranger. He had a very straightforward personality. He did not waste any time with Gu Yu and went straight to the point.
"Sir, it's like this. I'm planning to stay in the village for a long time, but as you know, the security in the village, hehe, so Brother Kuching told me to come to you to ask for a dog to guard the house.”Gu Yu smiled awkwardly as he looked at Gu Jianjun and explained his intentions.
"If you want to buy a dog, then buy a dog. Why are you still begging for a dog? What are you so arrogant about? Hehe, you young people from the city are just too sour.”However, just as Gu Yu finished speaking, Gu Jianjun rolled his eyes and laughed.
Hearing Gu Jianjun's words, Gu Yu couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.
But before he could finish laughing, Gu Jianjun shook his head and said helplessly,"Originally, when you came to buy dogs from me, you were all from the same village. I would definitely sell you, but unfortunately, there aren't any puppies left recently. There's a dog factory owner in the neighboring village who took all my puppies away last week.”
As the old saying goes, cats take three months to give birth to their cubs, and dogs take four months to give birth to their cubs.
In fact, this was even taking into account the heat period.
Logically speaking, those dogs that specialized in producing puppies could be mated three times a year. Of course, if they were really mated, then the dog would die within two years.
Therefore, most dog lovers would give their dogs a match once a year.
Gu Jianjun had stayed in the forest for thirty years. He relied on his dog to relieve his boredom. How could he not treat his dog well?
Therefore, his family's dogs were bred once a year, but they were split into two batches. Therefore, his family's dogs had two periods of puppies a year, and then the puppies would be raised by him for two months. During this period, they could be ordered. Of course, they needed money, and the price was not cheap. A pup of his fine dog would cost at least 2,000 yuan, and it was not negotiable.
After all, if the dog factory took the dog away, they would use it as a breeding dog. They would not sell it easily. If they sold it, it would cost at least 5,000 yuan.
Most of the puppies would be sold after they were born. Firstly, it was to find a good home for the dogs. Secondly, it could also be used to subsidize the family. There was no need to say that if you loved dogs, you should keep them by your side.
In fact, this was a very selfish thing to say. Other than dog fans, it should be very difficult for anyone to say it. People's energy was limited, so the dogs they took care of were also limited. Under limited conditions, finding a better owner for them was the true expression of love.
"We have to wait for half a year. That's troublesome!”Hearing Gu Jianjun's words, Gu Yu couldn't help but rub his temples with a headache. Just like what Kuching had said, he wasn't afraid of being stolen, but he was afraid of being remembered. It was impossible for him to stay at home for the next six months. Not to mention sending seafood to the town, just going home was a hassle. It was impossible for him not to go home for half a year. Wouldn't his parents blow up the temple?
Did he have to go to town to buy a pet dog?
He wondered if the pet dog would become more powerful if it was raised in well water.
"Are you in a hurry to use it? If you're in a hurry, I do have a dog here, but I can only lend you this dog for emergencies.”Seeing that Gu Yu seemed to have something on his mind, Gu Jianjun thought for a moment and said to Gu Yu.
"Is it those dogs outside?”Hearing Gu Jianjun relent, Gu Yu could not help but ask immediately. If it was those dogs outside, then it would be worth it.
"Of course not. Those are my old friends. We won't lend them out.”However, just as he finished speaking, Gu Jianjun immediately shook his head and said with certainty.
