They even need to call people to haul away the pigs? Those greenhorns, how many pigs could they possibly catch? They can't even get them back themselves, they need someone else's help?
And the people at the farm actually listened to them and used a tractor to haul it away? What a joke.
The tractor drivers didn't slack off; they immediately got dressed and headed to the farm headquarters.
Upon arriving at the farm headquarters, they found about ten pigs lying haphazardly in the yard.
The tractor drivers were overjoyed and rushed inside to inquire.
Upon learning that Sheng Xiping had led a group to hunt more than eighty pigs that were stuck in the mountains and couldn't be brought back, several tractor drivers went straight to the tractor depot without saying a word.
They started the engine, came out of the hangar, then attached the hood, sent people to fight, called Li Zhenggang and others, and drove into the woods with black smoke billowing out.
Sheng Xiping and his team would go wherever was closest when they entered the mountains, but tractors couldn't do that; they had to take roads with fewer trees.
Fortunately, the people in the forest farm were familiar with the terrain. Li Zhenggang directed the tractor to go in along the old tractor track. When there was no tractor track, they went through the ditches and ponds.
Fortunately, it was a tracked tractor, which could travel on most terrains. The group drove through many twists and turns and finally arrived at the place where Gao Haining and the others were waiting.
"Xiping is back? Did he catch up with that wild boar? Hurry up and get people to lift the boar onto the cart."
When Secretary Wang heard that we had slaughtered so many pigs, he specially sent four tractors over, so we can transport them all back at once.
The tractor stopped at the bottom of the hillside, and Li Zhenggang ran up and told everyone to hurry up and lift the pig down.
Upon seeing the tractor, everyone became more enthusiastic.
So the crowd dragged, pulled, or even carried the wild boars down the hillside in twos and threes.
The tractor extended its carrying platform, and the crowd lifted the pigs and threw them into the back pen or the delivery box.
Even the tractor drivers couldn't resist getting out of their vehicles to help lift the pigs.
After working for more than an hour, everyone finally managed to load all the pigs onto the truck.
Then Li Zhenggang shouted to everyone, those who could get into the cab should get in, otherwise they should sit in the back truck, so that they could be taken back together with the pigs.
These young men were all agile and fit, and they got on the bus with ease.
After counting the number of people to make sure no one was missing, the driver started the tractor, carrying dozens of pigs and people, and slowly drove towards the forest farm.
By the time the four tractors returned to the farm headquarters, it was already past five o'clock.
It should have been the time for everyone to cook, but today there were very few houses with smoke rising from their chimneys.
On the contrary, outside the farm headquarters, countless people were waiting, all of whom had heard the news and come to see what was going on.
As the tractor approached, Li Zhenggang and Sheng Xiping quickly jumped off and directed everyone to unload the wild boar.
The onlookers were astonished. Good heavens, how many pigs must there be?
Wang Jiachuan, Zheng Xianyong, and other forest farm cadres were also present. Everyone was beaming with joy.
"Good, Xiping, you did a great job today. I'll send someone to the alkali field to call people over to inspect the results."
Wang Jiachuan was overjoyed and quickly called over a young boy, instructing him to go to the other side of the alkali field and invite Liu Yujiang and other brigade cadres to come and inspect the results and register the quantities.
Since both sides have agreed to a grand competition, there must be a winner and a loser.
With eighty-eight pigs and two wolves, this record means that even if the forestry station can't hit anything, they're guaranteed to win.
“Secretary, I just thought about it, we can’t leave so many pigs outside.”
The weather isn't as cold as in winter these days, so if they're piled up outside and left to freeze solid, they'll easily spoil.
Besides, with so many dead pigs, the smell of blood would be too strong and might attract wild animals.
I think it would be better if we cleaned up all the pigs later and each of the forty people in the hunting team got fifty catties of meat.
Pick out another three or five sows and yellow-haired pigs, and quickly arrange for them to be delivered to the bureau by motorcycle, so that the bureau leaders can also be happy.
The rest, two cents a pound, can be sold directly.
Sheng Xiping found Wang Jiachuan and Zheng Xianyong and discussed with them how to deal with the meat.
"And the drivers who came up the mountain to help earlier, each family will also receive 20 jin of meat."
The remaining head, trotters, and offal will be allocated to the canteen in some cases, and whoever buys the rest can take a share for free. They can clean it up and eat it as is.
At the beginning of spring, every household has very few vegetables to eat and can only eat pickled vegetables and dried vegetables from last autumn.
Dried vegetables don't taste good without oil, but when there are no vegetables to eat, nobody cares about that.
Although pig's head, trotters, and offal may not be considered particularly delicious, they are still meat.
Once it's cleaned and prepared, add various seasonings and stew it in a pot. The whole family can enjoy a delicious meal for several days. Isn't that great?
"Oh my, it has to be Xiping, he's so thoughtful."
"Look at us, we were so busy having fun that we didn't even think about what to do with all this meat."
Before Wang Jiachuan could speak, Zheng Xianyong spoke first.
"Hmm, Xiping's idea works. Let's do it this way and get started preparing the meat."
"Xiping, help me pick out three sows and three yellow-haired piglets. I'll arrange for a car to go down and deliver them to the station right away."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiachuan felt that this was the most reasonable approach, so he quickly arranged for a driver to deliver pork to the Forestry Bureau using a motorcycle truck.
The dispatching team also quickly contacted the relevant departments of the forest railway.
Sheng Xiping nodded in agreement, then picked out three sows and three yellow-haired pigs and put them aside.
Just then, Liu Yujiang and other cadres from the alkali field arrived. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they recounted the pigs on the ground in front of Liu Yujiang and the others.
