Chapter 110 The hunter who buys pork, fishing with a stuffy rod, whether you like it or not
This man’s shotgun made Lin Heng and his father instantly nervous. Lin’s father pinched the wooden stick, and Lin Heng tightened his grip. Bow and arrow in hand.
It is not only beasts and poisonous insects that are dangerous deep in the mountains, humans are also one of them. If he really had evil intentions and killed a person, it would be impossible to find out in this day and age.
"Who are you?" Lin Heng asked coldly. It was really rare to meet people deep in the mountains.
The person opposite is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his thirties. Carrying a backpack, he has a mustache like Lu Xun, a Chinese character face, high cheekbones, and a joyful smile on his face.
As if he was aware of Lin Heng's tone, the man quickly raised his shotgun, fired twice at the sky, and said with a smile: "The cannon is not loaded, so you can't hit it. Don't worry."
This move Let Lin Heng and his son relax their vigilance a little.
The man came closer and said with a smile: "I am from Baima Ti Village. My surname is Zhao and my name is Zhao Aiguo. I came here when I heard the dog barking. Which village are you from?"
Lin Heng frowned slightly. He had never heard of Baima Ti Village.
"It's a village near Taibai Mountain. I've heard of it." Father Lin whispered.
"We are from Fengshu Village, Huangtan Town. My name is Lin Heng, and the one next to me is my dad." Lin Heng said slowly.
Zhao Aiguo smiled and nodded: "I've heard of Huangtan Town. It's really far away. You can actually hunt with a bow and arrow. It's amazing."
"Also Okay, it's no different from a shotgun." Lin Heng said casually, and then asked: "What's wrong with you?"
"I want to buy some wild boar meat. My mother has a stomachache, and they said she would eat some wild boar meat. Pork can cure it. I have been in the mountains for more than 20 days and I haven’t caught any. You are so lucky to have caught such a big one.”
Zhao Aiguo came over and said. After finishing, he explained embarrassedly: "I just suddenly appeared with a shotgun and scared you. I'm really sorry."
With that said, he handed Lin Heng a rolled welding smoke.
Lin Heng said that he did not smoke, and he handed it to Father Lin. Father Lin took it but didn't smoke it, and clamped it on his ear.
"It's no problem if you want to buy wild boar, but we have to carry the wild boar back and disembowel it. It's hard to take it back after cutting it on the mountain." Father Lin looked at him and said, meaning If you want to buy it, you have to go to my house to buy it.
Lin Heng said nothing. He believed Zhao Aiguo's statement. Rural areas lacked medical resources, so they often used some old folk remedies to treat diseases, and some even worshiped gods in superstition.
He always had nosebleeds when he was a child, so his family made him drink a strange substance made by mixing the blood of magpies and the ashes of Huangbiao.
Zhao Aiguo was stunned. This was indeed a problem. He couldn't just let someone cut off a piece for him.
"Otherwise, how much does your wild boar cost per pound? How about I buy half of it?" Zhao Aiguo thought for a while and said.
Father Lin was stunned, bought half of it? So rich?
His original intention was to sell the injured piggy to him. But if the other person wants to buy half of it, he will definitely not tell about the small wild boar. Everyone is poor these days, and pork is not easy to sell.
"Eighty cents for pork and ninety cents for wild boar. The wild boar must weigh one hundred, seventy-eighty kilograms, and the half must weigh eighty-ninety kilograms. In terms of money, it costs seventy or eighty yuan. .”
Lin Heng said with a smile, this is a lot of money. Even if you have to exchange something, ordinary things are not worth so much money.
"I have no money, but I have this, a piece of suede leather. Can you exchange it for it?"
Zhao Aiguo put down his backpack and took out a suede leather from a snakeskin bag. Skin. Immediately, a rotten smell came out, causing Lin Heng and the two to take two steps back and cover their noses.
"Haha, this is a muntjac I met that fell to death. The flesh is rotten, but the fur is still good. Let's see if it's worth seventy or eighty."
Zhao Aiguo Smiling, he threw the suede skin on the ground and looked at Lin Heng and the two.
Lin Heng took a look and saw that this was a yellow muntjac. It was not as big as the male muntjac he shot in Baishigou last time, but it was not small either. It was estimated to weigh about thirty kilograms.
This suede leather is medium-sized and in good condition and can indeed be sold for seventy or eighty yuan.
Lin Heng turned it over again and looked at it. The suede leather was indeed not rotten. It had some rotten meat on it, which gave it a smell.
Scraping it clean, rinsing it several times and drying it clean should be no big problem.
Lin Heng stood up and said loudly: "There seems to be nothing wrong with this suede leather. But I'm not sure if it will shed hair after washing it, or if people think it smells bad, what should I do? I think it’s better to give cash.”
"The hair will definitely not fall out. I can't pull it out even if I try hard. If you don't believe it, you can try it. If you think it's not enough, then I'll give you another white rice (civet) fur, so I have to have one. A hundred pounds of wild boar meat.”
Zhao Aiguo saw that Lin Heng was bargaining and took out another civet fur.
"By the way, are you far from the Heihe River? Are there a lot of plum blossoms in your area?" Lin Heng suddenly changed the subject.
Zhao Aiguo was curious: "Why are you asking this? My home is not far from the Heihe River. There are many plum blossoms in that river. Every year, people catch them with nets, and one catch can weigh hundreds of kilograms."
< br>"Oh, it's nothing, just asking." Lin Heng said with a smile.
He was asking for information, because the Heihe River is melted water from the snowy mountains of Taibai Mountain and is very suitable for the growth of Qinling fine salmon.
If there are more, he is going to catch a large number of them and breed them himself while it is not yet a protected animal.
In his previous life, he visited and learned how others raised salmon, and he could be the first to do so in this life.
"If you want, come to Baima Shoe Village and find me. I will introduce you to you or take you to catch him." Zhao Aiguo said with a smile.
“Okay, let’s talk about it when we have the chance.”
Lin Heng smiled, talked about the wild boar, and looked back at his father: "Dad, what do you think?"
Father Lin said with a smile: "You shot this wild boar. Take care of it yourself."
"Don't say how much, I'll sell you one side, plus a pig head, is that okay?" Lin Heng looked at Zhao Aiguo and asked.
"Definitely not. You have to add an extra front leg. Although it's not weighed, this wild boar definitely doesn't weigh two hundred kilograms. It can weigh up to ninety kilograms on one side. It may not be there yet."
Zhao Aiguo He shook his head and said, he also hunts a lot, and he can tell how heavy the wild boar is at a glance.
"That's okay, I'll just treat you as my friend. If I add a front leg, the pig's head will be gone." Lin Heng didn't hesitate too much.
"Okay." Zhao Aiguo nodded.
“What should I do with the pig hair? Should I try to burn it clean, or should I leave it for you to go back and deal with?”
Lin Heng asked if he could meet people in the wild mountains and buy wild boar meat. It's really rare.
Of course he is willing to sell it. It may not be easy to sell wild boar meat at a low price back to the village.
"Just open the intestines and rupture the belly." Zhao Aiguo said.
Having made the decision, he no longer hesitated. Lin Heng put away the suede leather and white rice leather.
Then the three of them found a cane to hang the wild boar up, and first bled it to let the blood drain.
Xiongba came up on the ground and started licking it happily, just like eating a buffet.
Lin Heng used the knife he carried to cut open the meat from the back of the wild boar, exposing the spine.
"Two fingers thick fat is not bad." Father Lin said with a smile.
After fattening the back, first cut along the pig's neck, then use a hatchet to cut off the spine and remove the head.
Then the belly is cut open and the internal organs are taken out one by one. After the internal organs are removed, the wild boar is cut from the spine with a hatchet, so that the wild boar is divided into two halves.
Lin Heng's skills are naturally far inferior to those of a pig butcher, but there is still no problem in using brute force to break down the wild boar.
After all, no matter how hard your bones are, they are not as hard as a knife. As for ugliness, just be a little uglier.
"Want to chop it into small pieces for you?" Lin Heng asked again.
“Okay, that’s troublesome.” Zhao Aiguo said with a smile.
Lin Heng first cut off half of his front legs and handed them to Zhao Aiguo.
Zhao Aiguo took out a large bag of salt from his backpack and began to apply it.
He was going up the mountain to hunt wild boars, so naturally he also brought antiseptic salt.
It sounds fast, but it is actually very tiring. Lin Heng and his father took turns chopping meat, and it took two hours to break all the meat into long strips of more than ten kilograms.
This has not included the ribs or anything else, otherwise two hours might not be enough.
After giving it to Zhao Aiguo, Lin Heng picked up his own pork. The pig offal was placed in one bag, the pork was in another bag, and the unprocessed intestines and stomachs were still lying on the ground.
Lin Heng roughly estimated that he only had fifty kilograms of meat left. With the viscera and pig head, he might only have seventy or eighty kilograms.
Putting the pork into the backpack, Lin Heng and his father went to the waterside to process the pig's large and small intestines.
There is only water accumulated from rain here, so we can only simply dispose of the feces. For detailed cleaning, we have to go back to the camp.
"Two of you, thank you very much. I'm leaving now. If you have time to go to Baima Ti Village, remember to find me."
Zhao Aiguo picked up the pork on his back and looked at the two of them smiling. said.
He was quite satisfied. The pork given by Lin Heng was very generous and he was not bullied.
"Okay, let's go slowly." Lin Heng waved his hand.
Father Lin also politely handed someone a dry cigarette he rolled himself.
When the others walked away, Father Lin smiled and said, "I'm so lucky today. Not only did I catch a wild boar, but I also met someone who bought so much meat at once."
< br>"Yes, we may not be able to sell so much if we take it back." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Wild boars are definitely the most common prey in the wild. If there are too many at one time, they can easily become overrun.
When you are beaten, you can often only sell meat. The fur is of no use, but the meat is often not easy to sell. This is not the 21st century. Everyone does not have much money to live on.
Father Lin chuckled and said, "But luckily we came early and didn't let him find the wild boar first, otherwise the two families would have divided the meat."
Lin Heng smiled, he could see that Zhao Aiguo had this idea for the first time, but unfortunately he was a little slow.
After preliminarily cleaning the feces in the large and small intestines, the two of them put the internal organs into a snakeskin bag and walked back with the baskets on their backs.
“Woof woof!”
Xiong Ba walked beside Lin Heng and expressed his desire.
"Go back to the camp, there will be delicious food for you." Lin Heng touched the dog's head. It was already noon when I returned to the place where I helped the little wild boar.
“Ouch!!”
The two little wild boars screamed when they saw the people coming.
"It's good that you're not dead. Son, you carry the little wild boar. I'll carry the pork." Father Lin said with a smile.
Lin Heng had no choice but to carry the two little wild boars towards the camp.
Sanchagou can’t be visited for the time being, and fishing has to be postponed.
Many times plans fail to keep up with changes, and no one expects that when they encounter a group of wild boars and kill one, they can sell more than half of it.
“Hey, why didn’t Lin Wei welcome him out?”
Back near the camp, Lin Heng felt something was wrong. The piglet was squealing so loudly, but his eldest nephew didn’t even move.
I quickly picked up the pace and returned to the camp. When I got closer, I was helpless. I saw that my nephew was lying on the stone and fell asleep. He was startled and thought something had happened.
Looking at the forest deer again, he didn’t run away, and he felt relieved immediately.
"Lin Wei, get up quickly and see what we have got." Father Lin put down the little wild boar and walked over to shake his grandson awake.
"Grandpa!"
Lin Wei rubbed his eyes and sat up, and I couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, so I fell asleep.
Lin Heng didn't look at him and just took out the pork and hung it up.
Lin Heng asked Lin's father for advice: "Dad, there isn't much pork here. Why don't we just cut off the pig skin and feed it to the dogs? I'm too lazy to go back and process it slowly."
" Okay, Xiongba is worthy of eating so much meat." Father Lin said with a smile that he also likes Xiongba this dog.
“Oh my god, Grandpa Er, you caught two little wild boars and there was so much pork. Did you poke into the wild boar’s nest?”
At this time, Empress Lin Wei After realizing it, he exclaimed, and then danced, twitching his butt and shaking his head, like a primitive man.
Lin Heng and Father Lin smiled and continued cutting the pork skin.
After cutting the shreds of pork, cut the pork into smaller pieces, apply salt on it and hang it up for ventilation.
"Lin Wei, go make a fire." Father Lin handed the lighter to Lin Wei.
Lin Wei turned around and ran to light a fire, and also took a piece of wild boar to roast and eat.
Lin Heng and his father went to the creek to process pig offal.
"You can only eat these pig hearts, livers, and kidneys here. You can't take them back at all." Father Lin said while turning over the pig intestines.
"Then eat. Eat more." Lin Heng said with a smile.
“That’s all we can do, just keep the small and large intestines, fry them every other meal and take them back to eat.”
Father Lin sighed, if possible, he would like to take them back Share it with your family.
After cleaning the large and small intestines, Lin Heng went to burn the hair on the pig skin, cooked it with the pig lungs and pig pancreas, and fed it to Xiong Ba.
Father Lin took out the suede skin, scraped off the rotten flesh, washed it repeatedly, and then placed it on a stone to dry in the sun.
After doing all this, the red clouds appeared in the sky.
“Here.”
Lin Heng chopped the cooked pig lungs, pancreas, and skin into small pieces and poured them into the basin for Xiong Ba.
“Ouch!”
Xiongba screamed happily and a little squeamishly, lowered his head and started eating.
In fact, it has not eaten very much in the past few days, because there is not much rice and noodles. If people want to eat, it can only eat less.
Now that there is such a large pot of meat, it immediately starts to feast on it, and it is a joy to eat.
After feeding Xiongba, Lin Heng blanched other pig offal and added some wild vine peppers and green onions to remove the fishy smell.
Then they were sliced and fried separately. There was not much pork heart and pork kidney, and the pork liver was fried twice in a small iron pot.
Lin Heng simply kept half a catty and prepared to go fishing for catfish tomorrow.
"Son, look at this suede leather. It's still beautiful even after it's been washed. We've made a profit."
Father Lin took over the suede leather and said with a smile.
"Of course I made a profit. This suede leather has no holes burned by gunpowder. It can easily sell for eighty or ninety."
Lin Heng grinned. He would not do a loss-making business. It can be said that you can make a lot of money by getting that white rice skin.
"It's a great deal to go hiking this time." Lin's father said with a smile.
"That's natural. As long as you have the skills, there are a lot of valuable things in the mountains." Lin Heng smiled.
"I can only say that, Second Dad, you are the most awesome person in the world, even better than my dad." Lin Wei praised loudly.
While chatting, Lin Heng scooped up the fried pork liver and put it in a wooden basin.
Then I cut a piece of lard and fried the large intestine. Frying with lard will make it less likely to go bad.
The large and small intestines and pig belly are fried and set aside. Only salt and wild vine pepper are added to these.
Tonight they mainly serve the heart, liver and kidneys. The stir-fried pork kidneys and chili are the most delicious. They drink them with sugary wine and finish them quickly.
The pig heart tastes pretty good, Lin Wei solved a lot of it, and Lin Heng ate the rest with his dad.
Lin Wei didn't want to eat the pork liver, and Lin Heng and his father didn't finish it either, so they had to put it aside and eat it the next day.
“I didn’t expect to eat meat until I was full. I didn’t even dare to think about it before.”
After dinner, Father Lin said with a smile.
“It’s okay dad, the good days of eating meat are still to come.” Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Then I'm looking forward to it." Father Lin smiled and asked again: "What kind of weather are you planning to go back to, and do you want to continue hunting?"
"No, let's go back the day after tomorrow. , pick some tea tree mushrooms and the like tomorrow, and see if there are any catfish or the like."
Lin Heng said that after finishing this time, the next time we come back may be in autumn.
In the next dog days of summer, I won’t be able to bring back anything I hunted.
"That's what I mean too. Tea tree mushrooms have been flooding in recent times. It would be a pity not to pick them. Tomorrow your brother will come and ask him to take Lin Wei and wild boar meat back.
I'll take care of your mother the day after tomorrow. Caiyun called us together to help get the things, otherwise there are too many things and we won’t be able to take them all.”
Father Lin said with a smile, a forest musk deer, two small wild boars, wild boar meat and mushrooms picked later. I really can’t take it.
In short, I have been here for twenty days this time, so it is not wasted.
Early the next morning, after making a soup and eating the leftover pork liver from last night, Lin Heng went to Sanchagou Canyon with his father.
"Counting the days, it seems that I haven't visited it in a week, and I don't know what the situation is over there." Lin Heng said as he walked.
Father Lin said with a smile: "You'll know if you go and take a look. You can't tell for sure. Just like yesterday, no one expected to encounter a group of wild boars."
"Indeed. "
The two of them came to Yisanchagou Canyon talking and laughing. The water on the ground was almost dry.
Two days of strong sunshine left little moisture.
"The whole army was wiped out."
Lin Heng sighed with emotion, and as he walked forward, the King of Hell's Trap was automatically triggered, and the rope trap was not harvested.
Judging from the traces at the scene, the rainwater flooded the area to a depth of forty to fifty centimeters, and all the animals that couldn’t swim ran away.
"It seems so, but it doesn't matter, we have already made money." Father Lin said with a smile.
All the ropes were retracted and there was no way down, so there was no point in doing it for a day or two.
When we arrived at the weir pond, we couldn’t tell the location where we lowered the fishhook last time.
“Try two shots, take all the pork liver and chop the bamboo.”
Lin Heng said with a smile, this just happened to be an opportunity to turn his father into a fisherman. .
Let him have a hobby, otherwise it’s not enough to work all the time. He has to rest.
Although the sun is gradually coming out, the fisherman is fearless.
Tie the nylon thread to the tip of the bamboo, hang the pork liver, throw it in like a whip, and then put the bamboo diagonally across the water and use tree branches to set it up.
After getting four fishing rods, Lin Heng and his father sat down under the tree and watched. As long as the tip of the bamboo was pulled down, they could get up and close the rod.
The old man fishing method with a stuffy rod mainly focuses on whether you like to eat or not.

ps: The poor author has not fished for more than a month. The big crucian carp in the river must have missed me. Please give me a monthly ticket and subscribe more.
Guess what Lin Heng can catch this time.
