Chapter 240 News about Gao Sheng
On the sledge, three fat and strong sika deer were tied with ropes. Xiao Tao also led a blind and docile doe, and two of them died. Under the doe, I could vaguely see the carcasses of two small animals, one large and one small, one size larger than a dog. Because there was no fur, I couldn't tell what species they were at first glance.
Seeing that her son was back safely, Meng Yulan rushed over holding the broom knot behind the door.
"Hey! Mom, what are you doing!"
"You naughty kid, you said you would go up to the mountain to stay for one night, but why didn't you come back on time when the time came? Your two aunts and I will I’m so anxious! I’ll beat you up!”
While talking, Meng Yulan used the broomstick to hit Yue Feng's buttocks. Before she even hit him twice, her tense nerves relaxed and Meng Yulan also started to cry.
Yue Feng did not hide or explain, but stood there and let his mother vent her worries. When he saw tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, he hugged his mother.
“Stop crying, Mom, aren’t we back well! There’s a reason why we stayed one more day in the mountains this time! Let’s go into the house, and I’ll show you what we gained from this trip to the mountains. ! Let’s put it this way, your son is very prosperous this time!”
Meng Yulan was suspicious and was diverted by Yue Feng, and then followed Yue Feng into the house.
After Yue Feng unfolded the two leopard skins rolled up in the hunting bag, even Yue Lei, who was relatively calm, widened his eyes.
"Is this a native leopard? You went up the mountain and shot two native leopards this time? What did you use to kill them? You didn't see any bullet holes in the fur?" Yue Lei recognized the leopard species from the beautiful patterns on the fur.
Local leopards are what local mountain people call them. They are the apex predator second only to the mountain god, and their ecological niche is half a level higher than that of tiger cubs.
“The little one was hung with a noose and strangled to death. The big one was shot to death by me with a gunshot at four or five o’clock this morning before dawn. ! This is what happened..."
Yue Feng briefly explained how Uncle Zhao found the leopard after going up the mountain and broke off a section of its tail. The twists and turns in it made several adults widen their eyes.
“This leather is worth my money. How could you, Uncle Zhao, give it to you so easily?”
"Hmm! They said that the money from the sale of this skin will be reserved for us to marry our wives! Each of our four brothers will get one share and share it equally!"
Hearing the words "share equally", Xiaowen's mother Looking at each other with Xiaotao's mother, both of them had a bit of shock in their eyes. The skin of a lynx is worth more than a thousand yuan, so how much is the perfect skin of a leopard worth?
And there are still two pieces of leather, one large and one small. To put it bluntly, this money alone is enough to cover all the expenses of the children and daughter-in-law at home. Maybe there is still a surplus.
“By the way, Mom, there is something I need to discuss with my family, and my two aunts are both here, so I’ll just tell you!”
“What’s the matter?”
"This doe that was blinded by an eagle was very docile. She tied a rope and led her back for a stroll! The doe should have a calf in her belly!
I heard from Uncle Zhao that the calf was just born Deer raised by people can be raised like cattle and sheep. We can raise them as breeding deer!
We can't always make money by hunting in the mountains, this is the way to go! Son, there is always a time when the livestock in the mountains near the mountains are exhausted, so I wonder if we can collect the seeds through hunting and then build a deer farm in the village!
Sika deer are full of treasures, and we can raise them in captivity! Breed to expand the population, and then go outside the village to cut the forage that the deer like to eat. After the deer farm reaches a certain level, you can cut deer antlers and collect deer fetuses regularly, so that your family can earn more!"
"I have no problem with your aunt. I usually beat pigweed more often, but son, have you ever thought about whether the village collective can agree? What if someone with a conscience reports you? You always have to do this. Can uncle hold it down?" Meng Yulan asked with a solemn expression.
"The policy is not stable yet, so it is time for us to make preparations in advance, but according to what is said on the radio, many other areas have already begun to contract to households, and we will be able to do a big job by then!
Our brothers have already discussed this matter on their way back, and everyone is willing to do it. I will go to my uncle to raise this issue later, and he will definitely support us!
But your consideration is also up to you! Yes, let’s be a little low-key in the early stage and keep this doe with her cub in captivity! My uncle Zhao taught me how to feed it smoothly. I’ll tell you later!
We’ll go there later! When we went up the mountain, we caught other cubs and brought them back alive. It won’t take long for us to completely solve the problem of deer species in the deer farm!”
“Okay, let’s try this first! I’m keeping this secret for the time being, and no one can tell anyone else! If we can really raise sika deer like pigs, our family’s source of income will be more stable! ”
"His aunt, our family also agrees!"
"Our family also joins in!!"
The Li family and the Zhang family are both capable of handling matters, so they knew about Yue Feng's proposal. The gold content is that if you join now, you will be the original shareholder of Luchang. If Luchang develops in the future, it will be a long-term benefit.
“Okay, we’ll discuss the details later after Xiaofeng goes to Jianguo to find out more! The children have been on the mountain for two days and must have been exhausted. The dumplings are out of the pot. Let’s eat first!!”
...After a meal of warm road meat dumplings, the fatigue from running around in the mountains for days came back.
But you guys can’t sleep now. These deer have only removed their internal organs, but they haven’t peeled off the skin or picked out the bones.
Several people worked together to drag the carcasses of several deer into the underground room of the North House, and then set the house on fire. After the freeze thawed, they could be skinned and deboned.
Yue Feng and the others have done these things often, and have already mastered them. It’s just a few deer, and if the two brothers get started together, they can clean them all up in less than two hours. .
Yue Feng doesn’t plan to keep the three deer at home, one male, two female, after all, the venison of the big red deer hasn’t been eaten yet. It’s still the old rule, if the second canteen can eat them all Next, then sell them all to the second canteen.
What is really difficult to choose is the skinned carcasses of the two leopards.
This thing is a mountain product that is rarer than lynx. Yue Feng doesn't know whether it tastes good or not, but he knows that it is definitely something worth giving as a gift.
Although things such as leopard gallbladder may not be recorded in official Chinese medicine books, they are also passed down in many folk remedies. Once you meet a buyer who is in urgent need of the banker, the value may be higher than that of a leopard skin.
Based on this consideration, Yue Feng discussed it with his brothers. The two leopard gallbladders, one large and one small, were briefly soaked in boiling water and kept temporarily. As for the skinned leopards, Meat, the female leopard whose head was shot cut off a piece of meat from the neck part and simply tasted it. The remaining intact cub did not move, and the remaining female leopard did not use the knife either.
These two pieces of meat, which are difficult to obtain even if you have money, are temporarily kept as the team's strategic reserve resources. If I need it later, it would be shameless to take it out at the critical moment.
That night, the half-cut head and neck meat of the female leopard were stewed and served in the pot.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to eating wild boar, roe deer, and venison. The brothers tasted leopard meat and they all agreed.
The meat is sour, woody, and has an earthy smell that can’t be removed. Both are cats. The taste of leopard meat is very different from that of tiger cub meat.
Now, no one was looking forward to the remaining leopard meat. They asked the captain to put it into his own meat cellar and give it away as gifts during major festivals and other events.
This thing still has some fur on its limbs and claws, which is enough to prove its identity. As for how to cook and eat it for others, Yue Feng and the others don’t need to worry.
After dinner, the brothers dispersed and went home for free activities. Yue Feng wrapped the three-piece set of the sika deer in newspapers, tucked it under his arm, and strolled to Wang Jianguo.
Yue Feng verbally agreed last time, and now he just got it back. My father-in-law’s penis must be smoothed when it is necessary. This aphrodisiac item is a hard currency no matter which dynasty or class.
When Yue Feng arrived at the gate of Wang Jianguo, the courtyard gate was not closed, and the watchdog tied not far from the thatched house door barked twice symbolically when he saw Yue Feng coming, and then rushed towards Yue Feng wagged his tail.
Hearing the barking of the dog, Zhang Cuilian pushed open the door of the main room and looked out, just in time to see Yue Feng entering the yard with his child in his arms.
"Xiao Feng is here! Have you eaten yet? Come in quickly! Old man, Xiao Feng is here!"
"Auntie! Dinner is over!" Yue Feng said hello, then opened the door and entered the house.
"You kid, what are you up to again?" Wang Jianguo saw Yue Feng holding a newspaper roll under his arm, so he asked straight to the point.
"Hey! Didn't you ask me about the three-piece set of the big red deer last time? This time when I went up the mountain, I didn't catch the red deer. I shot a big male sika deer, so I brought the three-piece set over!"
"So fast? Just as soon as you said you were going to catch it?"
"Well, I got a good harvest this time when I went into the mountains. I killed five deer, big and small! I brought back four. ! I will go to the city to sell it tomorrow!" Yue Feng said very proudly.
"Okay! When it comes to hunting, you are the one in the village near us! I have never heard of any hunter who drags a large mountain of livestock home every two days! The three-piece set you got is just right, Lao Zhang is going to be promoted!"< br>
"Have you got any clues about my Uncle Zhang's affairs? Where will he be promoted?"
"City Armed Forces Department! Deputy with real power! Now, we have some basic connections in the city! This is better Thanks to you for helping him catch it a few days ago!"
Hearing this term, Yue Feng's heart moved, and now he really got the big smoker!
