Chapter 260 248: All good things
The three men tied the raft and lifted the old bear and the wild boar onto it.
Yang Chunyan went to get the rope, while Zhou Huaian kicked the wild boar and then the old bear. "When they were alive, they fought to death, but after they died, they slept together lovingly."
"Tsk~" Zhou Yiding sneered, "It's obvious that while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. I think you've read so much that you've reached the bottom of a cow's ass."
"You can!" Zhou Huaian looked at him with a smile, "Some comrades who scored negative five points in the exam are still showing off in front of me!"
"Oh!" Zhou Yiding sighed, "I forgot to refill my fountain pen that time. After I finished the math, I realized I had no ink to write Chinese, and Lu Guangtou wouldn't let me borrow ink.
I thought I would get a big duck egg at best, so I used the remaining ink to draw a big turtle on it, and I earned minus five points! "
"You're awesome!" Zhou Huaian smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"What a shame! It's just an embarrassing thing!"
The three men tied the ropes, carried baskets on their backs, and pulled the raft forward like boat trackers.
The journey that was supposed to take more than an hour took the three of them more than three hours before they reached the ditch. They panted heavily and sat on a large rock by the ditch.
Zhou Yiding stretched his legs and said, "Fuck, I'm so tired."
Zhou Huaian squinted his eyes and pounded his legs, "One trip costs hundreds of dollars. It's comfortable to be tired like this every day!"
Yang Chunyan rested for a while and took out some dry food from her backpack. "Eat first. You'll have more strength after eating."
“Yes!” Zhou Huaian and the other man took the pancakes and started eating them with big mouthfuls.
After eating and drinking, the two men untied the wild boar and the old bear from the raft, carried them up the mountain separately, tied them back, and stumbled back pulling the raft.
It was dusk when I got home.
"Ding Ding Cat, let's skin the wild boar and store it in the cave. Tomorrow we will get up early and bring the old bear meat, bear gall, wild boar skin and bitter gall down the mountain to sell."
"Yes!" Zhou Yiding slumped down on the bamboo chair, "Take a break before we start."
Zhou Huaian also sat on the steps, pointing at the badger on the ground, "Badger skin is a good thing. Let's go down the mountain and ask Lao Xiazi to tan the skin. One will be left for you, old man, and one for my grandfather."
Yang Chunyan took over the conversation, "I heard that bear oil is good for rheumatism and bone pain. Let's keep the old bear oil and badger lard. These two things will not be available for purchase even if you have money in the future."
"Yes!" Zhou Yiding thought for a moment, "Why not just keep the meat and eat it myself."
Zhou Huaian: "I have to ask Brother Huang to help me find someone to buy bear paws and bear skin, and bring half a head of badger meat to him."
Zhou Yiding nodded, "Okay, you can do whatever you want."
Yang Chunyan rested for a while, then stood up and spread out the herbs to dry. "I'll go cook some pickled cabbage noodles, and then slowly peel them after eating."
"Yeah!" Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding rested for a while, then lifted the wild boar and placed it on the door panel.
After eating and drinking, the two men peeled the wild boar skin, cut some wild boar meat and threw it on the ground. The four dogs had a good meal.
After the two men skinned the badger, they carried the meat into the cave and put it away, then came out to skin the old bear.
Zhou Yiding took out the bear gall, held it up proudly, and asked Zhou Huaian to hang it together with the pig gall, then started to take the bear's paws and peel the bear's skin.
The three men worked until dark, and after making a bonfire, they cleaned up the old bear and stored it in the cave.
Yang Chunyan cleaned the offal, divided the boiled badger lard into two cans, and put them in the cave. They froze in a short while.
…
The next day, Zhou's mother finished her housework and walked to the backyard with the pig food bucket. She heard a knock on the back door. "Who is it?"
"Spring Swallow!"
"Why are you back so early? What good stuff did you get?" Zhou's mother said as she unbolted the door and saw three people carrying baskets on their backs. When she saw the meat in the baskets, she shouted in surprise, "Oh my God, did you encounter wild boars again?"
Zhou Huaian and the other man nodded and walked into the yard carrying their baskets.
"Mom..." Yang Chunyan told Zhou's mother what had happened.
“May the mountain god bless us, may the mountain god bless us!” After hearing this, Zhou’s mother clasped her hands together and bowed towards the direction of the forest farm!
Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding arrived at the front yard and hung the backpack on the back seat of the bicycle. "Yan'er, take out the badger lard and bear oil and put them away. We will deliver the badger pig skin to Lao Xiazi and then go to Ning'an."
"Yes!" Yang Chunyan took out two jars of oil, one large and one small, and placed them on the small square table. There was also a small jar of badger lard in it, which was for Huang Yongcai.
Zhou Huaian went back to the house, took the waist bag containing money, and went out with Zhou Yiding.
Yang Chunyan took the jar of badger lard back to the house and put it away, then came out with a basin to scoop water for washing.
Zhou's mother came from the backyard after feeding the pigs and saw that Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding had already left. "Why didn't they eat something before leaving?"
"I brought it in my bag." Yang Chunyan pointed to the small square table next to the main room, "Mom, the jar is filled with old bear oil. Put it away. You can use it on burns or rheumatism."
"Oh! I've heard that bear oil is a good thing."
"I have a small can of badger lard. Come to me if you need it later."
"Yes!" Zhou's mother agreed happily and took the jar back to the house and put it away.
Zhao Huifang and the other two went to the back mountain of Fangtian Brigade to look for medicinal herbs, so Yang Chunyan took out the quilt cover and washed it at home.
Zhou Huaian and his companions also arrived in Ning'an and delivered bear gall, pig skin and bitter gall to Deshengtang.
After Wang Zhen saw the bear gall, he asked hurriedly, "Is the bear's paw still there?"
"Yes! I plan to send it to Brother Huang to help sell it. Doctor Xiao Wang, do you have anyone who wants it?"
"There is a patient that has been looked for for a long time, but has not been found yet."
"That's the best." Zhou Huaian said as he took out the badger gallbladders. "These two are badger gallbladders. Do you want to take them?"
Wang Zhen nodded, "Take it! Someone wants the leather too!"
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "It's rare to encounter a badger pig, so we kept the skin and prepared to give it to the elderly at home."
"It's right to be filial to the elderly!" Wang Zhen looked at the bear gallbladder and said, "This thing is now priced at 600 yuan each."
The two looked at each other and nodded happily, "Okay!"
Bear paws, wild boar gall, badger gall, and wild boar skin, the two of them earned a total of more than 1,000 yuan. They happily gave some bear meat and badger meat to Wang Zhen, and went to the guesthouse to find Huang Yongcai.
As soon as Huang Yongcai saw Zhou Huaian, he said, "Your third brother has been here before, why are you here again?"
"Send something good over here." Zhou Huaian took out the badger pork and the can and handed them to him, "This is badger pork. I also specially left a small can of badger lard for you."
"Oh, this is a good thing." Huang Yongcai took it happily, "You two are lucky!"
"There are some good stuff!" Zhou Huaian pointed at the bear meat and bear skin in the backpack, "Can I trouble you to see if anyone wants to buy it?"
"I can help you think of a way to get the bear meat, but you'll have to slowly find someone to get the bear skin."
"It's okay. We know it's not easy to sell. We'll take it back and tan it, then slowly look for buyers."
"That's right, don't panic, maybe you can sell it for a good price."
"Um!"
Huang Yongcai weighed 20 kilograms of bear meat, and took the two men to several guesthouses and restaurants, and sold all the more than 100 kilograms of bear meat.
The two brothers' families received more than 600 yuan each. Thinking that they could sell the wild boar meat and honey next time, they could earn another hundred yuan. So they both walked back with smiles on their faces.
