Every village would have one or two "village guardians." They were often simple-minded and foolish, yet kind-hearted.
The older generation often said that village guardians came to th...
In the following week, Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang took their dogs into the mountains to hunt every day.
As the temperature gradually dropped, the amount of prey active in the mountains also gradually decreased.
Although the two no longer encountered prey such as black bears and lynxes, they still had some gains every day.
The most popular one is the cute hare.
The traps in the hare forest brought them a steady supply of guaranteed harvests.
Every day when I go to the hare forest, I can harvest four or five hares, and sometimes seven or eight.
There was so much wild rabbit that Chen Dazhuang didn’t even want it anymore. He gave all the wild rabbit to Chen Wang every day just to have a bite of the spicy rabbit head made by Lin Xiuqin.
The rabbit heads were all consumed, and the remaining meat was pickled and stored.
In addition, the flying squirrel and the pheasant also caught a lot. Jixiang had become an expert in robbing, and the nuts he had dug out filled a sack.
These were not very valuable. Their biggest gain was a big egg weighing about 300 kilograms, two roe deer and a muntjac.
After a week of going out early and coming back late, the two were exhausted and decided to take the goods to town to sell them tomorrow and then take a two-day break.
I just happened to learn from the weather program on TV that there might be a cold wave accompanied by rain and snow in the next few days.
After breakfast, Chen Wang went to Lao Qian to borrow a cart and sold him 20 kilograms of roe deer meat.
The price is cheaper than selling it in town, 2.5 yuan per pound, and the profit is 50 yuan.
Taking the Gastrodia elata and bear paws from home, Chen Wang pushed the cart to his master's house.
When he brought the bear paw back, he originally wanted to ask his wife to stew it for the whole family, but his wife and the little girl refused, saying that it was delicious, but it was only good to try it once, and it was too luxurious to eat it by oneself.
There is no other choice but to take it to town to sell it this time.
The rest of the prey caught during the week was preserved by smoking at the master's house.
After arriving at the master's house, the three of them moved things into the car together.
The first is the black bear. After being smoked, its weight has been reduced, and there are about 280 kilograms of meat left, in addition to the bear skin and the bear gall that the master has already processed.
Chen Dazhuang didn't eat the pair of bear paws either, so he threw them into the car and prepared to sell them together.
Then it was the big gun egg. After it was gutted and the fur and internal organs removed, only about 220 pounds of meat was left.
Normally, the meat yield of large prey is generally 70%.
Then there was a slightly larger silly roe deer, 20 kilograms of meat of which Chen Wang sold to Lao Qian.
The two roe deer we shot this time were both female, but we were unable to obtain their horns.
There was also a muntjac, and then several pieces of skin stacked together.
Finally, there were flying squirrels, pheasants, and hares, all mixed together and filling a whole sack.
The cart was filled to the brim, and Chen Jianjun even found a tarpaulin to cover the top.
There is so much cargo this time and it is so valuable that it is easy to arouse envy.
For safety reasons, Chen Jianjun insisted on accompanying them.
After everything was ready, the three of them pushed the cart towards the town.
"Brother Zhuang, this is the money for the roe deer meat I sold to Lao Qian this morning. 25 each."
Chen Wang divided the money.
"We'll share it after we sell it today!"
Chen Dazhuang suggested.
"It's okay, just take it first, it's the same."
Chen Wang smiled and said.
Chen Dazhuang nodded and took the money.
"By the way, as I told you before, I'm going to go look for bicycles after I sell my goods in town this time. If I see a good one, I'll buy one. What do you say?"
"You've got the tickets for me, so we'll definitely go together. I've also been wanting to buy one for a long time. It will be much easier for us to sell goods with a bicycle."
"Yes, that's what I thought."
Chen Jianjun, who was pushing a cart nearby, watched the two discuss this matter and a smile appeared on his face.
He was very glad that he had agreed to become Chen Wang's apprentice. Now his life was becoming more and more promising.
"By the way, why are there only those few episodes of Journey to the West? It has been replayed several times. When will the rest be released?"
Chen Dazhuang asked with a bitter face.
"It may take a few years. These episodes are just pilots. Maybe the rest haven't even started filming yet!"
"Start shooting?"
“Just find actors to perform, and then film it!”
"Oh, Awang, how do you know so much?"
“Read more books.”
Chen Wang grinned.
Chen Dazhuang was stunned when he heard this. He looked him up and down with a puzzled look and muttered, "I never saw you reading a book!"
"You know? It's not like you're with me every day."
"Tsk... You're just like me, neither of you are cultured. Stop pretending."
"Who says only educated people can read books?"
We talked and laughed along the way, and since we had been going back and forth several times, we didn't feel very tired.
I still went to the purchasing station first.
Chen Wang took the bear gall and several skins, entered the purchasing station, and went directly to find his old acquaintance Xu Meijuan.
"Hey, we got another black bear. That's awesome!"
Xu Meijuan took the skin and bear gall and praised in surprise.
When the customers and shop assistants around heard this, they all looked at Chen Wang with surprise and envy.
You know, killing a black bear may be enough for an average family's income for two or three years.
"Good luck."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
Xu Meijuan rolled her eyes, put down a few skins, and took the bear gall to examine it carefully.
"We are old acquaintances, so give me a higher price."
Chen Wang reminded with a bright smile.
