Li Long also didn't expect that nearly half of the wolf meat had been sold before he returned to the county.
There were more people in Qingshuihe Village than Team Four. When the loudspeaker shouted, there was wolf meat for sale, and a lot of people came whether they wanted to buy it or not.
"Uncle Liu, do you want to buy it from your family?" As soon as Meng Hai finished talking and several families came together to buy the whole wolf, some people immediately started looking for acquaintances.
At this time, people who usually appear to be more generous and honest are more popular, and people keep asking.
“Buy it, why don’t you buy it? Didn’t you listen to what Xiao Meng said? This wolf meat is the same as dog meat. It is very nourishing. I don’t need to supplement it in this winter. I plan to get a leg to try it.”
"Then let's form a partnership?" The aunt who asked the question was happy when she heard it, "I want a leg and a fan of ribs, so let's just call two people."
"What two people?" People? You two have agreed on one leg and one rib, right? The three of us will get a wolf together, and we can eat it till the beginning of spring!"
This completes the achievement of purchasing a wolf.
The three were the first to reach an agreement and came directly to Li Long.
Li Long asked them to choose, and they chose a wolf of medium size.
A wolf weighs about 40 kilograms, so you can't pick one that's too big. Obviously no one cares about the wolf king at the top.
It's big, but sixty or seventy kilograms costs sixty or seventy yuan. How can you afford it all at once?
Even if you can afford it, why don’t you plant the land or buy seeds and fertilizers next spring?
At this time, spending money really needs to be calculated. I can buy meat today, but I still think it is cheap and highly recommended by the village.
Of course, the meat must be fresh too. Fortunately, it can be stored in the winter. If it is not finished in the spring, it can be burned and eaten slowly.
"Forty-three kilograms and three hundred grams," Li Long and Meng Hai carried the large pole scale together. Meng Hai's wife looked at the scale stars and read out the numbers on it.
“Three hundred grams have been erased.” Li Long said as he put down the pole lifting the scale.
“That’s forty-three kilograms.” When Meng Hai saw Li Long wiped off the zero, he said loudly, “Comrade Li Long wiped off the zero for you.”
Three It's not a small amount of money, but it can buy more than half a kilogram of flour.
The three families gathered together and paid the money first, and then carried the wolf to divide it. The people behind saw that a wolf had been dragged away, and they immediately accelerated the speed of the group.
Li Long thought to himself, it seems that group buying in later generations has actually existed for a long time.
Next, the two families came together to get a small wolf. This wolf should be a female wolf, weighing thirty-four kilograms, which was much smaller than the previous one.
One after another, people formed a group to carry the wolf away, and then some people continued to come over. After asking what was going on, some watched the fun, and some quickly formed a group to weigh the meat.
More than half an hour later, Li Long sold seven wolves, totaling 291 kilograms.
Half of the "Wolf Mountain" on the tractor was quickly gone.
That wolf king was looked at a lot by everyone, but no one took a fancy to it and no one bought it.
On the contrary, someone saw the wolf head and wolf claws and the sheep head and sheep hooves below, and asked for the price.
"Wolf heads cost four yuan each, sheep heads cost three yuan each. Wolf claws and sheep hooves both cost fifty cents each." Li Long reported the price.
Relatively cheap.
It’s just those who can’t figure out why a wolf head that’s about the same size or just slightly larger costs a dollar more, so some buy a sheep head.
Twenty-one sheep heads were sold, and eighty-four sheep hooves were sold, each with one sheep head and four hooves.
If you can’t eat mutton, you can’t eat sheep’s head?
Anyway, there is plenty of time in winter. Although it is troublesome to repair the sheep head, you can take it easy if you have time. Once it is repaired, it will be a good meal.
Besides, there are sheep brains. At this time, most parents believe that eating brains can replenish their brains, so it is good to get a sheep head that not only provides meat to eat but also brains to replenish their children.
When the sun was still half full, no one came to Meng Hai's yard. What surprised Li Long was that Meng Hai bought a wolf himself.
"I don't want this big wolf anymore. It's too big to finish. I'll get a smaller one." Meng Hai picked a relatively big wolf and weighed it at fifty-four kilograms - his family The big scale can only weigh up to fifty kilograms. This wolf couldn't weigh it, so it had to cut off its legs and weigh them separately.
"Then I'll give you a wolf's head and claws." Li Long took out the wolf's head and claws from the cart and put them aside. "Lianyang Commander Meng, this wolf has wolf teeth on its head. Take those four big teeth." Put it down and put it away, this tooth will be valuable in the future."
The reason why Li Long sells wolf heads more expensively than sheep heads is because of this wolf tooth.
Unfortunately, no one here knows the value of this thing yet.
"Okay." Meng Hai didn't expect Li Long to say that. Since others said it, he believed it.
"Captain Meng, it seems you don't go out hunting often." Li Long was a little surprised. The militiamen obviously had guns and the village was not far from the mountains, but everyone was quite happy to eat cheap wolf meat.
This shows that there really isn’t much hunting. Do you not know how to fight or cannot fight?
“Actually, we also want to go hunting in the mountains with guns, but to be honest, it’s okay to have a shotgun, but if you don’t have a shotgun, we can protect ourselves with the rifle of the militia. If we really want to go hunting, what better? It's a bit difficult." Meng Hai told the truth: "I have a lot of bullets. Although I can get other bullets to tell the truth, I am afraid that someone will sue me if the news gets out." Meng Hai is also very embarrassed.
Li Long did not expect that the gun and ammunition management here was much stricter than that of Team Four.
It's hard to say.
Meng Hai wanted to kill chickens for cooking, but Li Long refused directly. After drinking a bowl of hot tea, he started the tractor and went back.
"My wife is pregnant with a child, and I agreed to go back early." Li Long said, "How about we drink again when we have the chance?"
"Okay, I have something to do at home. , I won’t keep you here. I’ll tell him when Lao He comes back. That's fine. Comrade Li Long, this autumn... that big broom..."
"If there is any work, I will definitely come and let you know," Li Long said sincerely, "We worked very well together last year. Click to remember it.”
"Okay, okay, with your words, I feel relieved!" Meng Hai said happily.
When the tractor drove out of Meng Hai's house, the dogs were still barking loudly, but they all gave way when they saw the tractor coming. They were not stupid, and they couldn't bite such a big thing.
But after the tractor drove away, the dog ran behind it, barking as it ran.
If Li Long really came down, they would not dare to bite. Li Long remembered watching a short video in his last life that said that wearing tiger bones on the body would deter dogs from biting.
He has tiger fangs on his body, so those dogs must be given some face, right?
When the tractor drove into the county, the sun had just set. There is still a little red light in the west, but the temperature has dropped rapidly.
It was almost thirty-nine days, and the weather was getting colder day by day. Li Long speeded up. When he arrived at the big yard, he happened to see Gu Xiaoxia arriving from get off work.
This is considered leaving get off work early. But pregnant women can have this treatment.
Han Fang and Sister Yang opened the courtyard door. When the tractor drove into the courtyard, Li Longgang came down and Gu Boyuan also arrived.
Li Long went to get a basin, drained the water from the tractor's water tank, and then went to wash his hands and change clothes.
The fishy smell all over my body needs to be washed away.
When he came out after changing his clothes, Gu Boyuan was already staring at the wolf king by the tractor.
“It’s really big enough.” Gu Boyuan admired, “He’s like a big boy. If this guy is going to meet someone in the mountains, he really can’t do it without someone taking him.”
“That’s ," Li used a stick to pull the wolf king's head out of the cart and said:
"This head is bigger than other wolves, and these teeth are like small knives, so I have to keep them."< br>
"Yeah."
"Okay, you two come over and eat quickly." Gu Xiaoxia was far away from the tractor. She couldn't smell the smell of the wolf, so she called to the two people.
“Coming, coming.” Li Long answered with a smile, and then walked over there with Gu Boyuan.
While eating, Gu Boyuan asked:
"Are you going to sell these wolves and sewers in Shicheng?"
"Well, there are also fish in the team." Li Long said while eating, "My eldest brother, my father has caught a lot in the past few days and collected a lot of fish. We plan to go to Shicheng to sell them together in two days. "
"That's feasible." Gu Boyuan nodded, "People in the city must have wanted to get some New Year's goods. The meat from the food factory requires tickets, and your meat is free, and it is cheap, so it will be easy to sell. ”
The Li family has two tractors, which can be used to sell meat or fish.
"When will we go?" Gu Xiaoxia asked.
"Let's go in two days." Li Long said, "The day after tomorrow is the weekend. You guys have a rest, and I will take a rest with you. I have been running every day these past few days, and I am tired. Let's wait for two days. . Anyway, these things are frozen, so there is no need to worry about them getting damaged.”
After hearing what he said, Gu Xiaoxia laughed.
During this period, Li Long came back and forth. Although he came back to live at home at night, she felt very distressed as he traveled to and from the mountains and the team every day.
Now that Li Longming said he would rest for a few days, she felt relieved. Li Long has good physical strength. As long as he can rest for a few days, he will be at his peak again.
After eating, Li Long asked Gu Boyuan to take two sheep heads back and process them before eating. Gu Boyuan waved his hand:
"I won't do this. Your elder brother can do this, I will I'm not very good at it. I can't clean it. When you clean it up, just cook and eat it for me. "Okay, who wants him to be older now?"
There was nothing to do at night. Sister Yang tidied up the kitchen, leaving Li Long and the others to take care of it. Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia went into the bedroom.
"Will you rest at home tomorrow?" Gu Xiaoxia turned on the TV and asked.
"Go sell those wolf skins tomorrow," Li Long said, "and then burn a sheep head or something. There are still a lot of sheep heads left. If you can sell some, we want it ourselves. Food."
"Okay." Gu Xiaoxia nodded, adjusted the channel, and watched the TV series.
Li Long let out a sigh of relief, things were finally coming to an end. Thinking about it, there should be no wolves harassing Harimu's winter den over there.
But he also had doubts. The snow was not particularly heavy this winter, and it was the same in the mountains.
What is it that drives the wolves out of the mountains?
Li Long blindly guessed that it was either a brown bear or a tiger. The possibility of tiger is small, right? Harimu was extremely lucky to have killed a Northern Xinjiang tiger. There was no way he could have another one, right?
He asked Gu Xiaoxia this doubt, and Gu Xiaoxia shook her head. Li Long didn't even know, let alone her.
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
"Whatever it is, we are not going into the mountains anyway. Harimu and the others also have guns, so they are not afraid of anything. There should be no danger." Gu Xiaoxia used to be curious and attended the class for two years. After that, it was gone.
Safety is the best.
That’s a dozen wolves!
If you really want to form a group and attack one person, even if you have a gun, it will be difficult to escape, right?
She was actually quite worried about Li Long. It's just that the bond between Li Long and the mountain is too deep, and it's impossible not to go into the mountain.
So every time Li Long went into the mountains, she was actually quite worried, but she didn't say anything.
After all, at home right now, I am the "national treasure" and the one who is worried.
Fortunately, Li Long came back safely every time. Now that all the important things were done, she felt relieved.
The two of them chatted about their daily life, thinking about those days that were relatively difficult a few years ago. Comparing them with now, the changes are really huge.
Li Long didn't feel that strongly, mainly because he had lived better days in his previous life and knew that the days in the future would get better and better.
Gu Xiaoxia’s life was quite contrasting. In the workplace, the lives of their colleagues are considered to be above average in the county. After all, there is a fixed monthly salary and benefits.
It is naturally better to eat commercial grain than to work in the countryside.
But at work, Gu Xiaoxia often listened to her colleagues chatting about how they could buy some cheap meat, buy some cheap grain, and get some cloth without tickets, and she felt a sense of fragmentation.
She knew that her family's life, with Li Long's efforts, had exceeded everyone's average living standard.
But this is a bit exaggerated.
As soon as Li Long made a move, he gave her 7,000 yuan and asked her to spend it on her own.
She also saved a lot of money herself, maybe a few hundred yuan.
Then she usually listened to her colleagues calculating for eighty cents, and taught her some tips on how to save money.
She knew that normally, she should learn. Normally, she should be like them and need to live frugally.
However, Li Long didn't give him a chance.
She basically doesn’t need to think about what she needs to eat at home. Food, meat, cloth for clothes, daily necessities, problems that can be solved with money are not problems for Li Long.
So she basically does not participate in discussions with her colleagues and has no way to discuss them.
"Today in Qingshui River, the wolf I brought back was sold for more than 400 yuan." Li Long took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xiaoxia, "Take it and see what you have. Just buy what you want.”
“ I won't take it." Gu Xiaoxia was thinking about this, and she shook her head reflexively, "I haven't used the money you gave me last time. My own salary is enough. You can take the money yourself. What do you need to prepare? Just buy the supplies.”
Li Long smiled, divided the money in half, gave half to Gu Xiaoxia, put the other half in his pocket, and said:
"That's okay, let's take half each. We will sell wolf skins tomorrow. I won’t give you any points.”
Gu Xiaoxia no longer refused. She won't spend the money, she will save it. Li Long was saving money, and so was she.
After all, the main things in life are food and meat, which cost money. Li Long bought bits and pieces from time to time. Li Long got the meat himself, and the grain and oil brother got it back.
This life really doesn’t cost much.
After breakfast the next day, Li Long sent Gu Xiaoxia to work. When he came back, Sister Yang and Han Fang were ready to sell food.
Li Long waited for them to leave, then went to the tractor to pull off all the wolf skins, found a knife to scrape off the grease and undissolved salt particles, then clamped it behind the bicycle and went to Go over there to the purchasing station.
There are too many wolf skins, and the bicycle cannot be clamped at one time. The tractor cannot move, let alone the jeep, so the bicycle can only be used.
I don’t know if Chen Hongjun is here.
What he took this time was the whole hide. Even though the bullet hit the wolf's head and neck, the whole hide was intact.
There are seven complete skins and fourteen residual skins. Li Long brought over seven whole skins.
The Wolf King's skin was a scrap of skin. When Yu Shanjiang and the three of them were fighting, they didn't pay attention to where they hit, they just wanted to hit.
So all three bullets hit the Wolf King's body, one of the bullets penetrated both sides, and the two bullets stayed in the Wolf King's body.
A piece of skin has four eyes. Although it is very big, it is still a piece of skin.
Arrived at the purchasing station, Li Long saw a few people selling things in front of him. To his surprise, Xie Dafa was also there, holding a pile of rabbit skins in his hand.
"Hey, Xiaolong!" Xie Dafa was quite surprised and asked with a smile, "Are you... wolf skin?"
"Yes. Brother Dafa, have you made a lot of rabbits?"
"Twice, thirteen pieces of leather, I came here to sell them together. After selling the money, I bought some new year's goods and went back." Xie Dafa was quite grateful to Li Long, otherwise he wouldn't have known about this news.
The people in front mainly sell leather, and they move forward one by one.
Li Long chatted with Xie Dafa for a few words and then went to Xie Dafa. He also wanted to let Li Long, and Li Long asked him to go in quickly.
There are a lot of rabbit skins recently, so the price has not changed, only three yuan a piece. Xie Dafa took more than thirty yuan, with a smile on his face. He waved his hands to Li Long, took the money and hurried to the market.
Finally it was Li Long, who entered with an armful of leather in his arms.
There was a man and a woman at the counter, both of whom were relatively unfamiliar. Li Long hasn't been to the purchasing station for a while, and he doesn't know whether it's because the people have changed or something happened, or there are a lot of people here, and Li Long only knows one of them.
"Wolfskin?" The people inside had already heard what Li Long and Xie Dafa said before, and asked, "Newly shot?"
"Well, it was shot two days ago." Li Long spread the skins on the counter, "These are all whole skins, undamaged."
"What do you mean, there are still scraps of skin there?" The man immediately heard other meanings from Li Long's words.
"Well, there are still more than a dozen scraps of skin."
"So many?" The men and women behind the counter were a little surprised, "How did you get so many?"
"The wolves attacked the winter nest and set up an ambush." Li Long told the truth, "Wolves have been a bit rampant in the mountains recently."
The two people at the counter were a little confused. They were mainly looking for skin. .
There must be no problem with the skin. Needless to say, Harimu and his team's peeling skills, Li Long also picked out the whole skin, so there must be no problem.
"This leather is good. The winter leather itself is better. They are all from adult wolves. These three pieces I will give you are sixty-one. These four are slightly smaller, fifty-five." The man turned over and looked at the leather and said:
"Can you bring the rest of the leather?"
Leather is in short supply recently, and the buying station hopes to collect more. Big leather.
“Okay, let’s place the bill and settle the bill first, and then I’ll get it.”
Seven pieces of skin cost three to four hundred yuan, and today I can earn almost a thousand yuan.
Cool! (End of this chapter)
