Chapter 52 The happiest night
Bai Li tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Change what?"
Nangong Min choked, as if there was really nothing in the military camp that could be exchanged.
"Why not buy it with money?"
"According to the market price of meat?"
"good!"
"make a deal!"
Bai Li sold a female wild boar and fifteen wild boar piglets, leaving only one male wild boar and one wild boar piglet, thinking that it would be enough to eat, and got 150 taels of silver.
Bai Li was not familiar with the prices here, so He Dalin whispered that it was about the same price and he accepted it.
Divide the silver into two parts, keep fifty taels for yourself, and give one hundred taels to your teammates.
The vanguard team members were so excited when they got the two taels of silver.
They never imagined that by following Captain Bai they would not only have meat to eat but also money to earn.
Their annual military pay was only a few taels of silver, and if they encountered officials who withheld their wages, they didn't know when they would get the money back.
Even though these two taels of silver may not be a lot, they are enough for the family to buy a cotton-padded jacket, a few bags of charcoal, and have a warm winter!
The moment everyone received the silver, they were so excited that they couldn't express it in words.
They all secretly swore in their hearts that Captain Bai would be their boss from now on, the boss before their biological parents!
When the soldiers in the barracks heard that there was meat to eat, they stopped making noise and trained much harder than before.
Because Major General Nangong said that starting from tomorrow, all of them will take turns to go into the mountains for training. The prey they hunt can be sold to the kitchen or left for each team to eat!
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below became excited.
They all shouted: "Major General Nangong is wise!"
Additional staff were assigned to the kitchen to process more than a dozen wild boars.
A female wild boar weighs about 600 to 700 kilograms, and a half-grown piglet weighs about 200 kilograms.
After slaughtering all the animals, the net meat weighs more than 3,000 kilograms!
The kitchen planned to set aside half of the more than 3,000 kilograms of meat for pickling, and later use it to make meat sandwiches, meat patties, etc. It is better than eating wild vegetable buns every day. The soldiers are not tired of eating them, but they are tired of making them.
Add more cabbage and potatoes to the other half and stew it, and serve it with some wild vegetable steamed buns to satisfy your craving.
Those pig offal, including heads, tails and legs, are stewed with sauerkraut and eaten with steamed buns made from wild vegetables, which is another meal.
Although the soldiers were dissatisfied with this arrangement, it was much better than having no meat to eat.
They were secretly competing with each other in their hearts. If the vanguard could hunt prey, they could do the same.
Then you can eat meat to your heart's content without being controlled by the kitchen staff and feeling uncomfortable!
The vanguard was also busy dealing with wild boars.
Dealing with wild boars requires a lot of water, so Bai Li simply took them to the stream behind the military camp and dealt with them on the grass.
A wild boar weighs about 700 kilograms, plus a piglet weighs 200 kilograms, the total meat after slaughter is 700 kilograms!
Fifty people share 700 kilograms of meat, and each person gets an average of 14 kilograms of meat.
There was more than enough to eat, so after getting their consent, Bai Li pickled the boar meat and made it into jerky and preserved it for later consumption.
She kept the half-grown piglet for barbecue in the evening.
Piglets are tender and best eaten roasted.
At night, the entire military camp was filled with joy, even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Because they had meat in the evening, Major General Nangong ordered that each person be given an extra mixed flour steamed bun.
The vanguard team had pork offal stewed with sauerkraut and steamed buns made with two-grain flour for dinner.
Bai Li secretly took out a bag of flour and gave it to the kitchen staff to make the steamed buns.
In addition to these, the vanguard team also had a wooden basin as big as a child's bathtub filled with braised pig heads and pig feet.
Of course, Bai Li gave some of the food to the kitchen staff, so everyone in the kitchen had a good impression of Captain Bai, who had just arrived. They gave her a thumbs up and praised her for being a good person and being able to get along with others.
Under the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, the fifty people ate with their mouths full of oil, feeling satisfied and proud!
Those who initially mocked them for following a devilish captain are now regretting it and asking why Captain Bai is not their captain.
Among all the pioneers, Luo Yang was the happiest.
Because when he was almost bitten by a wild boar today, it was Captain Bai who rescued him in time.
When Shangguan Ying heard everyone praising Bai Li, she became so angry that the meat in her bowl no longer tasted good.
Isn’t it just hunting wild boars?
She will catch one someday to show everyone that not only Bai Li can catch a wild boar, she can do it too.
As night fell and the night training in the military camp ended, the stream behind the camp became lively again.
Bai Li set up a huge wooden rack here, on which was placed a wild boar that had been coated with paint and marinated for an hour.
There is also a handle next to the rack, which allows people to shake it from time to time so that the entire pig body can be heated evenly and roasted to a golden and crispy texture.
Bai Li didn't have to do anything at all, he just had to speak and someone else would do it for him.
While chewing the jerky, she directed people to turn the meat slices and strips on the grill on the other side.
If nothing goes wrong, after baking overnight, these meat slices and strips will become delicious and nutritious jerky and dried meat in your hands by tomorrow morning.
As the meat roasted over the charcoal fire, the aroma of the meat wafted in the wind, causing the people lying in the tent to toss and turn, unable to sleep.
"Where does that meaty aroma come from? It smells so good!"
"The Vanguard is on duty tonight."
"What delicious treats are the Vanguard making again?"
After one day, just one short day, when something incredible and unusual happened, the first person everyone thought of was the Vanguard.
After all, apart from them, who else would have the courage to stay outside and not return to the barracks after the night signal has been blown?
Even if they are on duty, they are distributed among the various checkpoints instead of gathering together to get food.
Some people were unwilling to accept this and were secretly looking forward to how they would be punished tomorrow morning when the major general discovered that they had left their posts without permission.
They didn't know that under Bai Li's arrangement, there were people guarding each post, and the people barbecuing were only five of the ten people responsible for patrolling.
In addition to this, she also added aerial patrols and treetop patrols.
Of course, these tasks were the responsibility of the three little ones. After they cried and were promised meat strips and big apples, they happily went to work.
Bai Li sighed. Keeping pets is really a waste of money for the owner. The few big apples in her space are about to be eaten up by the golden retriever mother and son.
The meat strips that Black Hawk wanted were easy to make, as they could be made here, but once her big apple was eaten, it was really gone.
Even she was reluctant to eat it, and now she has to take it out to appease the monkey. The more she thinks about it, the more distressed she feels.
Forget it, if you ask people to work, you have to pay them. Who told me to be lazy?
After the wild boar was roasted, Bai Li cut it into pieces, wrapped them in leaves, and had them delivered to various guard posts.
That night, every pioneer team member had delicious roast pork.
This night was the happiest night for the vanguard team members since they entered the military camp.
