Chapter 98: An attempt before thawing
This place is four or five kilometers away from Dongwozi. It is not impossible to pull the two wild boars back with bare hands, but it is somewhat difficult.
Li Long simply disemboweled the wild boar right here.
Halimu did not come forward to help. He said to Li Long:
"You work here first. I will go back and bring the horse back, and then help you drag the two wild boars back."
"Okay."
Li Long used a knife unskilledly to cut open the carotid arteries of the two wild boars, and kept stepping on them to draw out the blood. If the blood is not drained, the meat will not taste good.
After draining the blood, Li Long began to disembowel the pig and remove all the intestines from the pig's belly.
These things are actually good, but now I don’t have time to play with them, and even the pure meat may not be able to take them all back.
However, he has to keep the wild boar belly. At least it costs three yuan a piece.
Moreover, this stuff is medicine and has an effect on stomach problems. There is nothing wrong with keeping or selling it.
The only thing left is to peel the skin. Li Long was still hesitant when using the knife.
Besides here, where else could he practice skinning so easily?
He didn’t want to take advantage of those sheep in Harimu. Since helping Harimu and Yushanjiang dispose of dozens of sheep last time, the two families now have enough fodder, and the two families are in a much better mood.
With money and supplies, these sheep are not only food rations, but also wealth, career, and the sustenance of life.
The weather is still very cold, and even if a pig is half skinned, it will be completely frozen, making it difficult to cut.
Li Long was no longer entangled. Although the skin of the wild boar looked messy, at least he had gained some preliminary feel.
Then he tied the two pigs together, dragged them both on the plastic sheet, and then rolled up the plastic sheet.
When Harimu came over on horseback, he tied a rope of the tied "pig dumplings" to the saddle.
"Do you want to come up?" Harimu asked.
"No, you just drag me down the mountain, far away from your winter home," Li Long said, "Don't affect your family. I walked over, and when I got there, I found two pieces of wood to put on the back of the bicycle, and carried these two guys Tie them up and take them away."
"Okay." Harimu nodded, mounted his horse and dragged the two wild boars across.
Li Long wore a felt tube and carried a gun on his back, walking back with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Just before he had gone far, Li Long felt his hair standing on end again.
With a sharp shake of his shoulders, he had the semi-automatic rifle in his hand. He turned on the safety, turned around and aimed the gun towards the direction he came from.
What the hell!
On the ridge where he went down just now, a wild wolf was staring at him!
The corner of the wild wolf's mouth was still stained with blood. Li Long guessed that he had just eaten the wild boar skin or internal organs that he had left behind.
"Bang!" Li Long shot the wolf without any hesitation!
The bullet hit not far from the wild wolf, causing a cloud of snowflakes to splash!
The wild wolf was startled, turned around and disappeared into the other side of the mountain ridge.
Li Long did not rush over. He knew that even if he rushed over, it would be difficult to see the wolf.
After watching for a while, the wild wolf did not appear again, so Li Long turned around and continued walking back with the gun in hand.
It would be great to have skis - but unfortunately, even if I did, I don't know how to ski.
Li Long looked back from time to time, but did not see the wolf, and the premonition of approaching danger never appeared again.
More than an hour later, he arrived at the foot of Dongwozi Mountain. What surprised Li Long was that the two wild boars had been tied up on his erba pole, and Harimu was chopping wood outside the winter nest.
"I heard you shoot just now, what happened?" Harimu asked.
“A wolf appeared at the place where we were shooting, and I was shocked.”
“There is a wolf?” Harimu was stunned for a moment, “I thought you found it again What kind of prey—if you say that, I have to be careful.”
After warming up in the winter nest for a while and drinking two bowls of milk tea, Li Long said goodbye and left.
He wrapped the 56 semi-automatic rifle and tied it to his bicycle, and rode his bicycle slowly back to the county. It was already dark.
Having no intention of cooking anymore, Li Long went to the Big Meat Canteen to buy a few steamed buns, and then went to his old house.
Enter the courtyard, set up the bicycle and set up the stove. After the fire is strong, eat the buns and then unload the car.
I reluctantly put the two pigs in the kitchen, set up the fire again, boiled water, and continued working in the kitchen.
Fortunately, there are electric lights here, so there is no need to deal with it in the dark. As Li Long continued to practice peeling, he thought, after finishing his work tomorrow, he would have to ask the street office where to pay the electricity bill.
Li Long was busy until twelve o'clock in the evening to peel off the skins of both pigs. It was not a smooth process. The skins were very fragmented and the pork was also pitted. But overall, at least it was done. .
He found an ax and split two wild boars into pieces. The legs were legs, the ribs were ribs, and the pork belly was pork belly. Then he planned to try his luck on the black market tomorrow to see if he could sell them.
Sleeping on the solid wood bed at night, Li Long soon called out - he was very tired.
Relying on the powerful biological clock, Li Long opened his eyes before dawn the next day. He got up and rubbed his face. Seeing that the stove was out, he stopped working and got dressed. After taking the clothes to the kitchen, I still used a plastic sheet to drag up a few pieces of meat, took the scale and walked out.
It seems that we need to get a sledge - I originally planned to use a bicycle, but I was worried about being arrested. The bicycle costs more than 100 yuan. The problem is that it is not easy to get the ticket. If it is confiscated, it will be a huge loss.
When I dragged the wild boar meat to the black market, I found that there were twenty or thirty stalls set up here, and there were a lot of people coming and going, forty or fifty, and some of them were still shouting softly.
Li Long looked at a stall selling eggs and immediately grabbed the plastic sheet and took his place.
The other two people wandering in the black market also took a fancy to this position. However, they were not as quick as Li Long, so they had to continue "walking around the stalls" while looking at the position.
"Brother, what are you selling?" asked the fish stall owner next to him.
Li Long smiled and said:
"Wild boar meat. Brother, how do you sell this fish?"
"It costs one yuan per kilogram, but there are not many people buying it. Some regular customers said Some time ago, someone was selling fish for only two yuan, weighing two to three kilograms or three or four kilograms. The fish seller was selling it so cheaply that we couldn’t even sell it. "< br>
“Where did you catch this fish?” Li Longxin said that the person you were talking about was me, but I wouldn’t say it even to death, “It looks pretty.”
“Pretty, right? "They were caught by breaking holes in the ice in the reservoir," the stall owner said proudly, "Look at how big I am. The biggest one weighs 12 kilograms."
Li Longxin said, "You have 12 kilograms, but someone has to buy it."
The stall owner was very talkative and asked Li Long:
"Where did you get this wild boar? It can't be a domestic pig, right?"
"Wild boar, in the mountains "It's beaten." Li Long pointed to the skin and said, "No pig is that fat, and the skin has to be peeled off, which is very troublesome."
Thanks to book friend Yundan Tiangao for the reward!
