Chapter 505 Deer Park
Although the snow in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, the sound of talking and laughing along the way broke the silence of the night.
If there were only a few people in a group, the way down the mountain back to the village would not be easy.
Disregarding the thick snow on the road, with more than a dozen grass deer, it was not easy for them to hold two of them.
After all, these grass deer grew up in the mountains and can be said to be quite wild.
Although the front legs and hind legs are tied with ropes by a group of people, it is common for them to be held back and forced to move backwards.
What's more, there are also the prey they caught during the day. Although there are not many, they are found on everyone.
However, because everyone in the village came over, a deer was surrounded by at least several people. Even if they were disobedient, they could only follow the footsteps in front of them.
Although people in the village have seen deer, they rarely have the opportunity to get so close, so everyone is rushing to get there.
Zhang An, on the other hand, was walking behind the crowd. He was not like the others in the village. After all, their family only had a group of people, and there was nothing new about this thing.
At this time, Zhang An carefully looked at the deer that Zhang Ping and his companions had captured. There were sixteen in total, including four male deer, eight female deer, and the remaining few were calves.
However, these deer don’t look very strong, they must have only been adults for a year or two.
Back in the village, many people are still waiting in the lobby of the village committee, especially those families in one group. Those who have not gone out to look for others are basically waiting here.
After all, others are just concerned, but they are the real worry.
After seeing everyone back now, their anxious hearts returned to their stomachs.
Several groups of elderly people saw the grass deer in the crowd and immediately grabbed their children and taught them a lesson, just like Zhang Jianwen just now.
"You little baby, I told you not to go into the old forest, but you just didn't listen. Why did you grow your ears? You don't need me to cut them off."
They fall at the beginning of the first lunar month and the end of the twelfth lunar month. Normally, during the first lunar month and the twelfth lunar month, adults at home will no longer beat or scold their children because everyone has taboos in their hearts.
But now, they all thought that their children were disobedient and ran into the old forest to catch deer.
So when you are angry, you don’t have to be jealous or not. Let’s educate you first.
Suddenly, a group of people, regardless of whether they were in their twenties, thirties, or forties, were being teased by their ears by either the elderly at home or the mother-in-law at home.
Although they exclaimed and explained that they had not entered the mountain, their family members did not believe it at all.
If it was just a deer, it might have escaped from the mountains by accident.
But now when you look at more than a dozen of them, anyone who looks at them will think that they have entered the mountains.
After all, after living in the village for so many years, I have never seen so many grass deer running out of the old forest.
"Okay, okay, they didn't tell lies. This deer was indeed not caught in the old forest."
In the end, Zhang Jianwen came out to help them speak, and persuaded the angry people. villagers.
Actually, even though Zhang Ping explained it when they were on the mountain, Zhang Jianwen was just like them at first and didn't quite believe it.
But besides Zhang Ping, Bai Xue was also there. This time she followed Zhang Ping into the mountain out of curiosity.
In the end, Bai Xue came out and explained the cause and effect to Zhang Jianwen, and Zhang Jianwen believed it.
Zhang An didn't know whether other people's words were good or not, but Zhang Jianwen's words were definitely good in the village.
The villagers who were grabbing the ears of a group of people just now immediately walked around them after hearing Zhang Jianwen's words.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's register first. We haven't gone home for dinner since we came back from the mountain in order to wait for you. Please finish it quickly so that everyone can go home for dinner."< br>
It was already past nine o'clock. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Jianwen quickly called Huang Weimin and Zhao Youcai to come out and count the things brought back by a group.
Despite such a heart-pounding incident, Zhang Jianwen still wanted to wrap up the last bit.
After all, everyone has been freezing in the mountains for a day, and everyone has put in a lot of effort. If we don’t do it because of a group, then if the village wants to do something else in the future, everyone will not be so Attention.
When they heard Zhang Jianwen talking about counting the harvest, the smiles on many people’s faces were no longer as happy as before.
Because everyone thought before that the first place must belong to the non-sixth group.
But now one group has caught so many deer that no one else can compete with them. Those are deer, and there are still so many deer.
So those who originally thought that their team had a chance to compete for third place now gave up completely.
Zhang An also feels the same way, but he doesn't care about the ranking, unlike others who have a mental gap.
"As a group, let me make it clear to you first. Although you have caught so many deer, it will not be counted in the results of this competition."
But just when everyone felt that When the result was decided, Zhang Jianwen suddenly spoke.
“Because I have made it clear to everyone before, what we are competing this time is to catch some small things. If these deer are included, it will be unfair to others, but if it is only calculated by quantity, it will not be fair to you. It’s not fair, so these deer will not be counted, and other treatments will be done later.”
Everyone was also confused. They didn’t expect that Zhang Jianwen said it would not be counted, and their family would not be counted. Still a group.
But everyone soon stopped thinking it was strange, because Zhang Jianwen has always had this temperament for decades.
Huang Weimin also expressed his thoughts and supported Zhang Jianwen's decision.
At this point, everyone knows that a group of deer caught tonight are really not included in this competition.
One group of people were not disappointed after hearing this, but the others became very disappointed.
Originally, if these deer were included in the calculation, whether they were killed for meat or sold directly, everyone would have a share.
But not counting them now means that these deer only belong to one group and have nothing to do with others.
But Huang Weimin and Zhang Jianwen have said so, so what if others agree.
The harvest of the last group was counted. Apart from the dozen deer, their harvest was somewhat dismal.
There are only twenty-three rabbits and eleven pheasants, and there is nothing else.
This result is incomparable with other villagers groups in the village, completely ranking last.
But no one thinks that one group of people is not good enough. After all, they are all children who grew up in the village. Even if their skills are not good, they will not be this bad. Everyone understood why one group only caught so few prey. It was because they spent their time catching deer.
Now one group only needs to come up with two deer to be worth more than the day they have been working.
“Okay, our winter hunting this time, although it only lasted one day, is finally over. So far, six groups have won the first place with a total number of 112 animals. The third group won the second place with 89 animals, and the fourth group won the third place with 73 animals.”
Zhang Jianwen showed everyone the statistical results of all villager groups on the spot. The final ranking was announced.
"But it's a little too late today. You haven't eaten yet, so we won't give out the bonuses to you now. The leaders of your three groups will come to me to collect them tomorrow. And the prey you brought back today will also be waiting until tomorrow. Distribute it to everyone.”
No one would object to Zhang Jianwen’s arrangement, because it is indeed late.
If we continue this, I’m afraid we’ll have to go in the middle of the night.
“The other is a group of deer brought back today. This is what I think. It’s easy to sell these two days at the end of the year. Let’s see if we sell them alive or kill them for meat. Then we can get them. Half of the money received will be given to one group, and the remaining half will be distributed to everyone. Do you think this can work?"
After finishing the previous matter, Zhang Jianwen talked about the dozen deer again. things.
Others in the village are undoubtedly happy for his arrangement. They can now get a share of things that did not originally belong to them.
The people in one group had no objections and were not unhappy because their prey was shared with everyone.
Because this is a custom left over from the past in the village, everyone is used to taking the big head and giving part to others.
After all, no one can guarantee that if you are so lucky this time, you will be lucky next time. This kind of thing is almost impossible.
So now I give a share to others, which means that if there are any other benefits in the future, I will also give a share to everyone.
And everyone knows in their hearts that it is precisely because of the division of these interests that everyone in the village supports this group and truly makes it possible for one family to have something to do and other families will not stand and watch.
"Uncle, these deer cannot be sold. It would be a pity to sell them."
Just after everyone thought the matter was settled, Zhang An stood up and objected.
"Oh? Do you have any good ideas? Let's talk about it while everyone is here and discuss it together."
Seeing Zhang An speak, Zhang Jianwen not only didn't mind, but became even happier. .
Because every time Zhang An talks to him like this, he almost always comes up with good ideas.
"Uncle, now these deer can indeed be sold for a sum of money whether they are sold or killed for meat, but we can't just see the immediate benefits, we have to consider long-term development."
In the midst of everyone’s puzzled looks, Zhang An expressed his thoughts.
“Our deer has treasures on it. I took a look just now. There are four adult male deer in total, and there are three of the four fawns. If our village takes this group of deer, After raising it, let’s think about how many antler crops can be harvested in a year. I don’t need to tell you more about what velvet antler is.”
Yes, Zhang An’s idea is to let the village use it. Raise this herd of deer.
In this way, the village is equivalent to having a golden rooster that lays golden eggs. From now on, it will sell deer antlers every year, which is more cost-effective than the current one-vote-one-hammer business.
Although you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs walking. When you heard Zhang An talking about deer antlers, your eyes immediately became fascinated.
Everyone in Changqing Village knows that deer antler is called soft gold.
If you are from other villages, you may just know that deer antlers are valuable, but you may not know exactly how much they are worth.
But the people in Changqing Village are different, because Zhang An’s family raises a herd of deer. In recent years, many people have come to buy from their homes, so the price is widely known in Changqing. matter.
"Yes, why didn't I expect that the village is so big that a big circle will be built to raise deer."
Zhang Jianwen also came back to his senses at this time. He really didn't have it just now. Thinking about selling deer antlers.
Now that Zhang An mentioned this, my heart immediately became alive like everyone else.
It’s just raising deer, which is not difficult for the villagers. After all, no one has raised cows, horses or pigs.
And if you really don’t know how to raise them, Zhang An can guarantee it. After all, they raise so many deer at home, and then they can just go and learn.
"Uncle, what we want to build is not a deer pen, but a deer park."
At this time, Zhang An spoke again. If it is just to raise deer, it is not worth mentioning it in public. Just discuss it with Zhang Jianwen.
“Now in our village, there are more and more people coming here to play on weekdays. If this deer park is built, it is estimated that more people will come than before, because many city people like to take holidays. I brought my children to see these animals. Think about it, a bunch of people came to the village before and went directly to my house. "
"Gai, we started doing it years ago, and this is the deer park. We not only need to build it, but we also need to build it beautifully.”
Zhang An directly pierced Zhang Jianwen’s heart, saying that he must build this Luyuan as soon as possible.
Because in the past two years, the village has tasted the benefits brought by tourism. Those city people coming to the village have really made the village a lot of money.
“But we didn’t catch the first deer in the herd. If you want to raise deer, it will be difficult without a deer.”
At this time, Zhang Ping put forward his own idea, Raising so many deer at once, without the management of each deer, it is not easy to tame them one by one.
Among the deer they encountered today, there was a very tall head deer.
It’s a pity that the guy was too ferocious, and in the end when he caught the deer, he still ran away with many deer.
"This is nothing, it's just a deer. I have it at home. Just drive my big flower over here when the time comes."
Zhang An is full of confidence in the big flower at home, even now Those wild deer in the mountains will probably have to bow down to the big flower.
"That's it. It happens that your place is spacious. Before the deer park is built, let's keep these deer in your enclosure for the time being. This will also allow them to get familiar with your deer. ”
Originally, if you want to sell it, you can just find a pig pen or a cow pen and close it.
But things are different now. These deer are money trees in the village, and Zhang Jianwen is very interested in them.
Of course Zhang An would not object. Anyway, the big circle at home is empty.
And he also planned to help tame the deer while they were kept at home.
