What does leopard meat taste like?
Everyone was very curious, and finally couldn't help but get some and roast it over the fire.
The meat is a bit rough, the fat is yellow, and it has a fishy and mineral taste when eaten, but more of it has a smoky, burnt aroma.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, but they still held back and did not eat the leopard in large pieces.
Zhao Wei always remembered what his grandfather said before he died: "You must cherish the gifts from the mountain god, do not plunder excessively, and do not kill wantonly, otherwise the mountain god will overturn the hunter's salt jar."
As long as these people don't cross the bottom line, he can guarantee that they will be able to eat meat from now on.
The good days have just begun, and they still need to hunt more meat.
Soon, the leopard was carried up by the crowd on a branch and walked swaggeringly through the snowy forest.
This is a walking bait that lures the beasts hiding in the dark and makes them ready to move.
Human beings are the most resourceful creatures, able to utilize everything favorable to obtain the greatest benefit for themselves.
Not long after they started walking, Zhao Wei had already killed two fiery red foxes and seven or eight ferocious jackals with his hunting rifle.
By this time, the gun barrels were heated up and it was still early.
Looking at so many wild beasts, everyone was very satisfied. Some even shouted that they should stop while they were ahead and return to the village.
They didn't want to spend the night in the snowy forest.
Even if there is firewood, it cannot stop the biting cold wind.
There hasn't been a snowstorm yet, otherwise, I'm afraid...
I heard from the old people that the climate in the mountains is unpredictable, with weather changing every ten miles. It is very likely to encounter weather disasters. Many people who do not listen to advice almost never return.
The people present were gradually persuaded and also came to persuade Zhao Wei to make plans as soon as possible.
At this time, Zhao Wei was playing with a bullet in his hand, moving it freely between his fingertips, and doing some fancy moves from time to time, which made him look agile and interesting.
This is a way for him to relieve stress when he is in a bad mood.
These people are too shortsighted and are only satisfied with such a small profit.
If you don't have ambition, why do you come hunting? You might as well go home and stay with your wife and children.
"Don't you understand the agreement? It was written when we came here that hunting activities cannot be terminated at will unless there are force majeure factors."
"Since you have signed and sealed your names, you must obey me once you enter the mountain. If anyone dares to say something that will disrupt the morale of the army, don't blame me for turning hostile."
Zhao Wei usually looked like a gentle and easy-going person, but at this moment he seemed like a different person. Everyone present, without exception, was shocked by the fierce murderous aura he revealed, as if they would be slaughtered on the spot if they dared to go against his will in the next second.
After this, everyone really learned to shut up. After all, he and Er Laizi were the only ones in the crowd who had guns.
The second beggar calls Zhao Wei his master, because they can eat from the same pot. They are all outsiders and cannot defeat these masters and apprentices. It seems that there is no other way except to be obedient.
However, after this incident, the originally harmonious atmosphere among the group was broken and became a little awkward.
Zhao Wei just led the way forward. He didn't intend to care about how these people felt.
It would be even better if we could force a few of them to fight.
The weather is cold, warming up will help you feel warmer.
Erlaizi and the others were used to being punished by Zhao Wei, so they just took it as normal and didn't think there was anything wrong.
Those who followed also endured it uncomfortably because of the heavy amount of meat.
On the way ahead, Zhao Wei was seen constantly exerting his strength, and each time he was able to deal with the beasts faster than others. Many times, the battle was over before anyone even saw the beasts.
In return, there were more and more wild beasts.
At the beginning, they were still able to carry and lift the meat... but later they found it a little tiring, so following Er Laizi's suggestion, they made a sled-like device, threw the meat onto it, and filled a whole cart.
This cart carries several hundred kilograms of meat, and it requires the efforts of four or five people to pull it, which is quite tiring.
This is just the first day's harvest, and we still have some distance to go to achieve the goal of 100 kilograms of meat per person.
All in all, we need to prepare at least ten such sleds.
Everyone thought that Zhao Wei was just bragging at first, but they didn't expect that he was serious.
Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone thought they could set up camp, have a good rest, and get some meat to reward themselves for their hard work. However, they did not expect that Zhao Wei had assigned heavy tasks to everyone.
A group of people went to the three locations he pointed out to build snow huts. They used the accumulated snow to build snow walls and dug out space inside for living. It is said that this can effectively block the cold wind.
Everyone was not happy about it because it was ridiculous. Wouldn't they be freezing to death living in a snow house?
Another group of people would naturally go look for dry firewood. That night, the bonfire could not be extinguished and had to burn vigorously, with three piles of firewood to burn.
The amount of firewood needed was huge, but everyone could understand this. When the weather was cold, they had to rely on fire, so no matter how hard or tiring the work was, they worked very enthusiastically.
In such an environment, the best dry firewood to burn is dry yellow pine branches, which are soaked in oil and can be ignited with almost no effort.
The next group of people, Zhao Wei and Erlaizi's disciples, were responsible for building defenses. They needed to set up many traps around the area to prevent nighttime attacks by wild beasts.
After all, there are so many preys right there, not only the wild animals are greedy, but people are also greedy when they see them.
