Chapter 86 Exploring the Primeval Forest Reserve
"Okay, what's your price?" Li Xiang asked. He almost forgot about it.
The restaurant owner said: "Thirty-one pounds for a living person and twenty for a dead person. If there is a super large one, more than 400 pounds, the price is fifty yuan per pound."
This is because large wild boars and wild boar belly are very valuable. There is a folk saying that wild boar tripe can cure stomach problems. "Compendium of Materia Medica" also records that pig tripe (pig stomach) is slightly warm in nature and sweet in taste, and has the effects of relieving gastritis and strengthening the stomach and tonifying deficiency. Therefore, people often want to buy them at high prices.
For example, there was news about a man whose son had been suffering from stomach problems since he was 6 years old. He felt nauseated when eating anything when it was hot, and he was prone to gastric acid when the weather was cold. He had been seen in many hospitals, but his condition never improved. There is a significant improvement.
Someone suggested to the other person to get a wild boar belly, which would cure stomach problems.
The man went around looking for help, and also turned to newspapers, radio stations, etc., hoping that the media could help lead the way.
But there are so many people rushing to buy wild boar belly, so it is difficult to buy it. Usually you have to make a reservation in advance with the hunting team.
As for wild boar belly, only large wild boars have therapeutic effects. Small wild boars weighing dozens of kilograms are basically useless.
This is because wild boars are omnivores and will eat anything they can eat, including bamboo shoots, herbs, bird eggs, mushrooms, hares, mountain rats, poisonous snakes and centipedes.
Although there is currently no evidence that wild boars are immune to toxins, judging from the fact that wild boars do not die immediately from eating poisonous food, it can be said that the stomach of wild boars is immune to all poisons.
According to folklore, after a wild boar swallows a venomous snake, such as an adder, the venomous fangs of the venomous snake will bite the inner wall of the wild boar's belly (stomach). The wild boar's belly, which has been soaked in various Chinese herbal medicines for a long time, has its own set of tricks for treating poison and healing wounds. Granulation tissue will develop at the base of the wound, which will then form fibrous tissue and scar tissue, leaving a "boil" on the gastric mucosa. The more "boils" there are, the higher the medicinal value.
However, the reporter interviewed an 80-year-old traditional Chinese medicine doctor from a famous medical center. The doctor said that he has been practicing medicine for 60 years and has never seen a record in a formal medical book that wild boar belly can cure stomach problems. He suggested that scientific methods should be used to treat stomach problems. It is more appropriate to go to a regular hospital.
Of course, since there is such a saying among the people, and wild boar belly is also a medicine in the Compendium of Materia Medica, even if it does not have miraculous effects, it still has a relatively strong health care effect. Therefore, there are still many people looking to buy.
The owner of this restaurant called Li Xiang after he received several orders for wild boar belly. In addition, he also collects small wild boars because they can be used to make "roast suckling pig", which has a different flavor compared to domestic pigs. Not to mention whether it tastes good or not, the main thing is this gimmick.
It's like bat soup, is it really delicious? But there are still many people who are curious and want to try it, and it is also relatively expensive.
However, in ancient times, bats were indeed a very unique "medicinal material" that could be used as medicine for chronic cough, malaria, gonorrhea, eye nebula, etc. Bat excrement is called "Ye Ming Sha", and it is also an important Chinese medicinal material used for eye diseases.
But for modern people, this soup is a bit disgusting and highly toxic. Bats carry hundreds of viruses, some of which may not be inactivated after high temperature treatment. Only those who are very brave dare to experience it.
Then large wild boars may have "pig sand" in their bodies, cows may have "bezoars", dogs may have "dog treasures", and pigs will naturally have "pig treasures". This pig treasure is "pig sand", which is actually pig gallstones. Very expensive and rare.
The last time Li Xiang's family killed the wild boar, they searched for it and indeed found a hard object in the pig's belly, which was covered with hair and looked like an egg. However, Li Yucheng said that it was just a ball of pig hair and threw it away later. dropped.
In fact, even if there is "pig sand", its medicinal value cannot be compared with that of bezoar and dog treasure.
……
Li Xiang had a detailed discussion with the restaurant owner and naturally agreed, but he just made a request, that the settlement should be quick.
After all, it would be bad if the payment is delayed and disputes arise for this kind of personal business. Although he could teach the other party a lesson, he had to agree in advance that it would be better to do less than to do more.
The boss was also very generous. He immediately patted his chest on the other end of the phone and said, "I guarantee cash payment. Give me your goods. After counting, the money will be credited to your card within two hours. I, Lao Huang, always do things neatly." , you can go and find out.”
"The number of wild boars may be too large. When the time comes, I will give you a location, on the edge of the provincial road, and you can send a big truck to pull them over." Li Xiang pondered for a moment and said.
"What?" Boss Huang was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "How many can we get?"
Li Xiang said lightly: "At least thirty."
"Okay!" The other party was very excited. If Li Xiang can get thirty heads, or even more, then he won't be out of stock in a short time. It is bound to have an advantage in the next business.
He could easily capture forty or fifty wild boars. He actually went to the Forestry and Grassland Bureau to inquire, but the Forestry and Grassland Bureau refused to sell it to him because the other party did not recommend eating wild boars, saying that wild animals may carry deadly germs and may lead to an unmanageable situation.
After the big events in the past few years, officials are very cautious. As for the private sector, it is a regulatory act of the market economy, but they themselves will not participate.
Their superiors did not approve their resale.
The official recovery of wild boars in Sichuan Province is indeed a pollution-free treatment, but it is not the selling of pork as everyone imagined.
For live pigs, officials will transfer them to some zoos, scientific research institutions, etc. in need, but most of them are still disposed of by "deep burial in the soil."
However, there is a gap in the market, especially with the recent heavy snowfall, soaring prices, and wild boar meat being in short supply. Bosses are also anxious.
Boss Huang expressed his expectation and chatted with Li Xiang for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Afterwards, Li Xiang went all out.
He basically searched the entire ten-kilometer radius, and the number of wild boars in places further away was actually limited. He simply used his magic skills to climb over the mountains and ridges, and entered the primeval forest reserve closest to his home.
It’s about fifty kilometers away and can easily be reached in an hour. If it was faster, he could do it, but it would be more tiring. I still have to save my energy to catch the wild boar.
The area of this protected area is not very large, only a few hundred square kilometers, but there are extremely many wild animals in it, and it is overgrown with weeds and bushes. If ordinary people come in, it will be very difficult to walk. This was not the mountainous area near his home.

After Li Xiang went deeper, he activated the "mutated creature identification function" and activated the "Pearl Darkness" method to restrain his own aura. While searching for wild boars, if he encountered potential mutant creatures, he would naturally kill them immediately.
System: "The third-order mutated creature Three-Eyed Sparrow was discovered."
Li Xiang searched around and saw a magpie sitting on a branch, pecking at a frozen berry.
"Hey~" Li Xiang raised his hand, and the White Fang dagger turned into a white light and shot towards it. After these days of spiritual cultivation, White Fang's dagger became more and more handy, fast, and able to guide its direction with perfect accuracy. Almost in an instant, the "three-eyed sparrow" fell to the ground.
System: "Congratulations to the host, for killing the third-level mutant creature, the three-eyed sparrow, and receiving a surprise reward of three second-level mutant spiritual fruits, silver pistils, and golden hook pears."
The Golden Hook Pear belongs to the family Rhamnaceae and is a genus of Hovenia genus. The golden hook pear with silver stamens rewarded by the system is an extraordinary product with a fragrant fragrance.
Li Xiang continued to move forward, and after harvesting three more hibernating "spicy sticks", a nest of centipedes and two hares, he finally discovered a group of wild boars.
There were only 9 wild boars in this group, one male, two females, and six cubs. Li Xiang did not use the high-density knife. He shot the lightning from his body, fell from the sky, and directly activated the "Wild Boar King's Pressure" of White Fang's dagger. In an instant, They scared the wild boars to the ground, picked them up one by one, and threw them into the system's interdimensional space warehouse.
That warehouse cannot store living things, and if you enter it alive, you will definitely die. There is also a benefit, food will not spoil when placed inside.
Because food spoilage is caused by microorganisms, microorganisms cannot survive if they enter, and neither can anaerobic bacteria.
Although the price of dead wild boars is not as good as that of live pigs, for Li Xiang, it is more convenient to transport dead pigs.
Among this group of wild boars, there was also a potential mutant black-maned white-toothed beast, which was a third-level beast. When Li Xiang threw it into the system warehouse, he obtained three second-level elixir pig arch fungi.
The system's interdimensional warehouse is eight cubic meters in size. Everything is suspended when placed in it. Li Xiang opened a small area in a corner at the top for storing elixirs.
It's impossible to put elixirs together with something as dirty as a wild boar.
In addition, debris in the warehouse, such as remaining soil, can be "shaken out" with thoughts. Clean regularly to keep it spotless.
