Chapter 80 Sounds of opportunity
I don’t know if this is the fearlessness of the ignorant. Anyway, I don’t understand, and neither do you. I’ll give you a price, and if you think it’s suitable, you can sell it. If it doesn’t, you can stay.
Although Li Le will miss some good things this way, he can also receive some good things. The most important thing is that the price is cheap!
"Hey! Did you hear that? Hongye Village on the other side of the Xishan Mountain is being troubled by wild boars."
"Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. My uncle's brother-in-law's second aunt is from Hongye Village. She said it herself. How can it be false?"
"Then why don't you shoot it! Wild boars are meat too!"
"You made it simple, that's a wild boar, you thought it was a domestic pig! Wild boars are very ferocious, who dares to fight them!"
"What should we do? We can't just ignore it, right?"
"How could you ignore it? I heard that troops will be sent over to eliminate those wild boars."
Just when Li Le passed by an old locust tree, several young people with nothing to do were chatting there.
Li Le glanced at a few people. It might be true, but the element of bragging was quite high.
But this was a reminder to Li Le. Now he could save some meat. Even if the wild boar meat didn't taste good, he could sell it and buy other meat.
If you are worried about buying too much at once, you can also exchange it for someone else! Even if it's a little cheaper.
Besides, don’t hotels like these things very much? You can definitely exchange it with a hotel! I guess they'll be happy to do it, and there's no risk.
Li Le remembered Hongye Village and went to collect rags again.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that Li Le rode a tricycle home.
"Brother Le, go and wash up quickly. Dinner will be served immediately."
"Yeah!" Li Le parked the tricycle and went to the faucet to wash it.
When we came to the main room, the food had been laid out. The meal tonight was very rich, including ribs, chicken, and a fish.
As for vegetables, don’t even think about it. The only vegetables in winter are radish and cabbage, and it’s already March, so even radish and cabbage are probably not much left.
Most families have probably finished the stored radish and cabbage! Fortunately, Li Le bought more before, otherwise his family would be gone.
Although there were no individually stir-fried radish and cabbage on the table, there were a lot of radish and some cabbage in the pork rib soup.
It can be regarded as meat and vegetables. It is estimated that not many people in the entire imperial capital can eat this food.
Most families now eat steamed buns or Erhe noodles with pickles, and some families may even make scrambled eggs.
After finishing the meal, Li Le said: "You two, stop cleaning up now. I want to tell you something."
"Brother Le, have you thought about it?" Zhao Yanran looked at Li Le and asked.
"What the hell! That's not what I'm talking about." Li Le was speechless.
"Brother Le, what are you talking about?" Zhao Yanhan asked.
"It's like this. We don't have many pheasants and hares at home. I'm going to go into the mountains and hunt some pheasants and hares back."
"Ah! Is it dangerous in the mountains?" Zhao Yanran walked up to Li Le, grabbed Li Le's hand and asked.
"It's not dangerous. I've been there many times and have experience. Besides, it's not like you don't know my skills. Don't worry!"
"But……"
"No, but as you all know, I don't like to eat meat that is too greasy. It's not easy to buy other meat."
Li Le is right. Although there are no purchase restrictions now, as long as you have money, you can buy things, but there are more wolves and less meat!
The supply is limited, or even in short supply, so even if you have money, you may not be able to buy anything.
Food is better, especially meat, which is why the restaurant particularly hopes that Li Le can sell meat to them. "Okay then! You can go if you want! Pay attention to safety, Yan Han and I will wait for you to come back at home."
Li Le stood up and touched Zhao Yanran's hair and said, "I mean Yanran! Can we not act like anything? I'm just going to the mountains to hunt."
Hearing what Li Le said, Zhao Yanran felt a little embarrassed and said with a red face, "I'm not worried about you!"
"I know, so don't worry! I will pay attention to safety."
"By the way, Brother Le, how many days do you plan to go this time?"
Zhao Yanran still knew this. After all, the mountain was so big that it might not be possible to walk far in a day and a half, let alone hunt.
"A week, no more than ten days at most."
"Well! I'll prepare something for you." After Zhao Yanran said that, she went into Li Le's room and packed Li Le's clothes and quilts.
"Don't be so anxious, we won't leave until tomorrow."
"It's okay, just pack it up first."
"Okay! Then I'll go out and prepare something."
Although Li Le had a gun on him, it was only a Browning. It was useless against wild boars and could not even penetrate the flesh.
So Li Le was going to prepare something to deal with wild boars.
There is a blacksmith in the back street. I usually make pots, knives, etc. Anyway, you can make all kinds of iron tools for household use here.
Of course, Li Le is not here to make knives or pots, but to get an iron rod. It doesn't need to be too thick, just heavy.
Li Le's strength was too great, and the weightless thing felt light in his hand.
When we arrived at the blacksmith shop, it wasn't closed yet, but it was almost closing time.
After Li Le entered, he saw an old man wielding a knife, and there were two and a half young men standing next to him, probably apprentices.
"Hello, old man!" Li Le said hello to the old man.
"Hello! What's the matter?" the old man asked.
"That's it. I want to hit an iron rod, as long as it is as thick as this." Li Le gestured with his hand.
It is roughly equivalent to the thickness of 36 rebar. One meter of 36 rebar weighs about 16 kilograms.
The round iron rod is a little heavier, but not too much, at 18 pounds, and Li Le wants to get one about 1.5 meters tall.
In this case, it would be twenty-seven kilograms, less than thirty kilograms. It's not that Li Le didn't want to get a little longer, but in the mountains, it's not good to get longer.
Because there are many trees in the mountains, shorter ones are more convenient to use.
"How long will it be?" the old man asked.
"About 1.5 meters!"
"Okay, when do you want it?"
The old man asked, but Li Le didn't know what to say. He wanted to say he wanted it now, but he knew it took time.
Even saying it would be tomorrow morning would be a bit too anxious.
So after thinking about it, Li Le asked: "When is the fastest time you can finish it?"
"I have a ready-made iron rod here, but it is a little thicker and longer than you said. If you are in a hurry, I can beat it for you now."
"Okay, okay, I'm just in a hurry, so go ahead and buy it! The price is negotiable."
"You can wait here for an hour, or you can go back and wait. As for the price, you can give me 30,000!"
