"Let Jixiang run for a while!"
Chen Wang looked at Jixiang who was standing beside him.
After the two dogs noticed the black bear in the cave, Jixiang also sensed the danger and jumped off his shoulder, ready to escape to a nearby tree at any time.
The longer they spent together, the more Jixiang understood human nature. He immediately understood what he meant and squeaked, looking somewhat reluctant.
"Well, I'll give you two bananas as a reward when we get back."
Chen Wang gestured.
Jixiang's eyes lit up, and without saying a word he rushed to a nearby tree and staggered towards the village.
"This monkey is getting smarter and smarter. Do you think he is related to Sun Wukong?"
Chen Dazhuang joked with amusement.
"What nonsense are you talking about? That's a myth. There is no Sun Wukong in reality."
"How do you know there isn't one? Maybe there really was one in the past?"
"Anyway, I know that animals can't jump out of stones."
"Forehead……"
Chen Dazhuang was speechless, waved his hand and said, "It's boring, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore."
After saying that, Chen Dazhuang squatted down and continued to work.
First, the bear's nose was cut off, then its groin was dug out, and finally its four paws were removed one by one.
Chen Wang put all of these into the medicine basket, filling it up just enough.
"Awang, you try to skin it, then we can cut the bear meat into several pieces so that we can carry it down later."
"Really let me do it, what if the leather is ruined?"
"I can't ask my dad to come every time, can I? Besides, if you're careful, it won't be completely ruined. At most, it will just have a few more gaps, and its value will be discounted."
"Okay, let me try."
Chen Wang took the dagger, squatted down, recalled his master's steps of skinning, and began to imitate him.
"You go ahead and I'll take a break. You'll take over later."
Chen Dazhuang stood up and stretched, then walked over and took out a kettle from the medicine basket to drink some water.
Chen Wang peeled the bear skin carefully.
He doesn't have enough skills, but fortunately he is patient enough, and as long as he moves slowly enough, he won't make big mistakes.
Chen Dazhuang stared at it for a while, scratching his head and gradually becoming impatient.
"Come on, just stay aside and let me do it. If you keep doing this, you won't even finish peeling the skin when someone shows up."
"Hehe... Aren't you afraid of making mistakes? Look, I've already peeled half of it, and there's not a single cut."
"That's right, you're so efficient. It'll be dark soon, and I'll use it on you."
Chen Dazhuang snatched the dagger, squatted down and started working on it himself.
After all, he was an experienced hunter with many years of experience. Although he had never skinned a bear, he had skinned many other animals. The basic methods were the same, so he was much more efficient than Chen Wang.
It was fast enough, but I was careless and made a cut.
"Look, look, at least ten dollars is gone with this cut."
Chen Wang immediately started to criticize him.
Chen Dazhuang opened his mouth but said nothing. He then became much more cautious in his actions.
There’s nothing I can do, it’s all about money!
When the little monkey and his men arrived, Chen Wang and his companions had already skinned the bear and cut it into five pieces.
The visitors were Master Chen Jianjun and two brothers from his neighbors’ family.
After the three arrived, they saw the skinned and dismembered black bear on the ground, and naturally they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Chen Jianjun, however, was no longer surprised.
Only he knew that the two guys had beaten the tiger cub.
Let alone the black bear now, even if the two of them really killed a tiger one day, he wouldn't be too surprised.
After a brief greeting, the five people each took a portion of the meat and carried it back to the village.
Since Chen Wang also had a medicine basket, he was given the lightest part.
After arriving at the village, the bear meat they were carrying immediately attracted the attention of some villagers.
Fortunately, there are relatively few villagers on Master's side, and at this time, most of the villagers are eating at home, otherwise there would be another sensation.
After entering the master's house, several people put down the bear meat.
The master took the dagger from Chen Dazhuang's hand and directly cut out two pieces of good meat, each weighing more than ten pounds, and gave them to the brothers Chen Weibing and Chen Weimin.
The two brothers were also honest people. After taking it, they thanked the owner repeatedly and then took the meat back.
This kind of work is also a good thing for them.
Chen Wang and his companions would catch big catches every now and then. Each time they helped to move the goods, they could get dozens of kilograms of meat, which could last for ten days or half a month if they were frugal.
Afterwards, Chen Wang divided the things with Chen Dazhuang.
Mainly bear paws, bear noses and kneecaps. I also had a set last time, and they are still at my master's house. This time I just gave each of us a set.
Then there were the bear skin and bear meat. Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang cut up the chest and abdomen, which was part of the pork belly, and kept the rest to sell in town later.
The master will place the meat on the firewood behind the stove so that it can be smoked by the fire and increase its shelf life.
Chen Wang also handed the bear gall to his master to deal with, and put the Gastrodia elata back into the medicine basket.
