Chapter 377 Wild Boars
After receiving the news, Yi Chichi and the others didn't even bother to do their work. They quickly got off the kang, put on their shoes and thin cotton jackets, and ran to the brigade headquarters.
When we arrived at the destination, we found that it was very lively and crowded.
Aunt Ma said in a loud and cheerful voice, "We can have a good New Year this year."
Yi Chichi's eyes lit up, which meant that he had gained a lot.
She rushed to Aunt Ma's side and asked, "Aunt, what did Uncle and the others hunt this year?"
"Twelve wild boars."
"Young Master Duo?"
Yi Chichi was so frightened that his voice changed. He had hunted wild boars in previous years, sometimes catching one to three.
Then there are snow hares, roe deer, flying dragons and the like.
Roe deer are simple-minded and curious, so it is not difficult for experienced hunters to catch them, and they can catch one every time.
Creatures like flying dragons are even more outrageous. When frightened, they will bury their heads, which is a typical example of trying to cover up one's ears and steal the bell.
The temperature on the mountain is lower than that below, so the first snow cannot accumulate in the village, but it accumulates more easily on the mountain.
One shot can scare the flying dragon into the snow nest. Moreover, flying dragons have a herd mentality. As long as one flying dragon dives into the snow nest, the rest of the flying dragons will swarm in.
At this time, if you go to dig out the flying dragons in the snow nest, you will definitely find one every time, and you can dig out a whole nest of them.
Therefore, there is no shortage of flying dragons.
Catching snow rabbits is a bit difficult, but it is not difficult for Captain Uncle and his team.
This stuff is delicious for making smoked rabbit. It is smoked with tea leaves, and the smoked rabbit meat combines the smell of smoke and the fragrance of tea. The taste is amazing when you take a bite.
On the contrary, wild boars are not very popular with Yi Chichi.
But she never expected that the captain and his men would bring back 12 wild boars this year. So, would her snow rabbit, flying dragon and roe deer meat still be there?
"You heard me right. We brought back 12 wild boars, five big and seven small."
Aunt Ma was delighted and brought back two musk deer, four roe deer, over thirty snow rabbits, and over fifty flying dragons.
Wen's mother was curious, "Why are there so many this year?"
Yi Chichi and the others were also curious, and if possible, they would like to squeeze in to take a look.
However, there were only tall and strong men in front, who were discussing enthusiastically how to deal with the prey, so it was impossible to squeeze in.
There was no topic for them to talk about once we got in.
So, it’s better to listen to Aunt Ma and the others outside.
"Luckily, we encountered a herd of wild boars."
"Caught them all in one fell swoop?"
"No, I heard a few got away and several people were injured."
"Is the injury serious?"
"Fortunately, Yaozi said they were just superficial injuries and they are being treated in the team doctor's office now."
Wu Yongfei, who had come over at some point, said, "As long as he's okay."
Skin injuries are not considered injuries. As long as there are no broken bones, it is not a big problem.
Without waiting for Aunt Ma and the others to reply, he asked again, "Did the captain and the others tell me what to do with the pigs?"
This is a good question, but no one can answer it at this time.
Because the captains and others in the encirclement were arguing over the number of wild boars to be handed over.
"I object to turning it in."
The speaker was the new scorer Li Genshu, who had a very hard life in his early years. Even though the people in the village took good care of him because he and Chen Erhua were descendants of the hero, every household was still poor.
There is really only so much I can do to help.
The couple finally got married and started living together, but they lost the baby. However, they did keep the second one.
But the result of being afraid of poverty and suffering is that the couple became very protective of their food.
Not only protect your own food, but also protect the food of the team.
When he learned that the team leader wanted to hand over half of the wild boars, he said emotionally, "It's fine if the domestic pigs are handed over. They were originally mission pigs, so I have no objection. But I strongly oppose the wild boars. They are the result of our hard work in the mountains for more than half a month. Qian Ge and his men are injured, so we have to keep the wild boar meat."
"I agree to stay."
Liu Minghui and the others continued, "There's no shortage of pork in the city. The meat from the meat processing plant is all supplied to the city residents. But for us farmers, it's incredibly difficult to get some meat. We work hard all year just waiting for this year-end wave of improved food. Now that we've delivered the pigs, and now we're delivering wild boars, what are we going to eat?"
Given that there were so many people opposing it, the captain was also worried.
He frowned and puffed on his pipe, then sighed after exhaling a puff of thick smoke. "We can't hide the amount of prey we brought back. If we don't turn it in and wait for the commune to come and ask about it, it will do us no good."
If possible, he doesn't want to pay.
However, they made too much noise in the mountains, and people from several neighboring groups also went into the mountains to hunt, but in different locations.
But the forest would amplify the sound, and since they were all experienced hunters, they would be extremely alert to the slightest movement, and the sound of gunfire was even more difficult to conceal.
"How about this? We hand over five and keep seven for ourselves. Is that okay?"
No one was in a hurry to answer. Instead, they exchanged glances before Ma Yong asked, "Which ones are you planning to hand over?"
"Three big and two small."
"Pooh!"
Ma Yong was so angry that he spat, then looked at him like a fool and said, "There are only five big pigs in total. You didn't think of sending one big pig and four little pigs, but instead thought of sending three big pigs and two little pigs. I think you are almost becoming a pig."
The captain, who was almost a pig, was as calm as ever. He said calmly without any arrogance or anger, "Okay, then, give me four little pigs and one big pig."
The connection was so smooth that Ma Yong was stunned.
We agreed to argue with him, why are you just following his words?
Li Gensheng and the others realized that Liu Datou was a typical person who went with the flow.
"Five is still too many, give me two."
If you can make it go smoothly once, you will surely succeed again.
The captain refused to accept this and started to argue.
However, the consistent rule of Kaoshantun is that when in doubt, the minority obeys the majority.
There were too many people who voted for two pigs, and he couldn't win the competition.
"How can I explain this?"
He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. After bandaging his wound, he came back and squeezed into the crowd to listen for a while. Liu Xiangqian looked at him like a fool.
"Are you stupid? No one except our team knows how much prey we brought back."
The implication is that as long as he shuts up his team members, he can say whatever he wants about the rest.
The captain's mouth twitched. "Then you come with me to hand over the pig."
"I'm injured, let Xiao Li and the others go with you."
Liu Xiangqian, whose leg was bitten, was too lazy to run and just pushed the passerby out.
Li Gensheng and the others were also willing. Seeing this, the team leader put his pipe bag on his waist and pulled up his trousers. "Load the pigs to the commune. Lao Wu, take the others to deal with the remaining pigs quickly. I will come back to divide the meat."
"OK."
Lao Wu nodded, pulled up his pants, squatted down, took out his pig-killing equipment from the cloth bag and started sharpening the knife.
Liu Xiangqian asked the female comrades to boil water and so on. Yi Chizhi was not among those who were asked to be asked. She watched the team leader and his men leave with two pigs, one big and one small. After two seconds of silence, she squeezed next to Liu Laowu.
"Fifth Uncle, can we discuss something?"
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Liu Laowu sharpened the knife without even raising his head, and the blade became sharp and bright.
