That night, the wolves came down the mountain again.
However, because there were traps at the foot of the mountain, they had no chance to get close to the village and were stopped by the traps when they reached the foot of the mountain.
At night, everyone heard the howling of wolves, one after another, full of sorrow, anger and despair.
Early the next day, Tang Can went out to check the trap at the foot of the mountain.
There was a lot of blood around the trap.
There were wolf carcasses in several of the traps.
The trap is lined with bamboo spikes, and if a wolf falls into it, there is basically no chance of survival.
It took Tang Shen half an hour to check all the traps.
As for the corpse in the trap, he was not in a hurry to move it.
Soon, Zhao Mantang also came over with his men.
Seeing Tang Shen arrive so early, he just smiled and greeted him.
"Tang Shen, how is it? What's the harvest?" Zhao Mantang was still in a good mood.
The wolves were unable to enter the village last night, all thanks to Tang Shen.
If he hadn't suggested setting a trap and brought so many people from the village to dig for a whole day, there would have been an accident last night.
At least a lot of livestock will die.
"A total of four wolves fell into the trap. I didn't touch the bodies. You can pull them up later." Tang Shen answered Zhao Mantang's question honestly.
Zhao Mantang immediately smiled.
Although wolf meat doesn’t taste very good, it is still meat after all. These days, it’s not easy to get a bite of meat.
Moreover, if the wolf skin is intact, it can be sold for a lot of money. It is a good thing.
"That's right, we'll see how to distribute it later." Zhao Mantang responded with a smile.
When most people had arrived, they arranged for someone to go down and pull up the bodies of the dead wolves.
There are four wolves, each weighing about 40 kilograms, which means more than 160 kilograms.
Even if it is distributed equally, every household can get at least two kilograms of meat.
Shangao Village is not very big, with only 72 households in total.
"Village Chief, although this meat is meat, none of us have ever eaten wolf meat. How can we make it delicious?"
"Yes, Village Chief, none of us know how to cook it. Is this wolf meat poisonous? Is it edible?"
Several people looked at the four wolves. They were in a good mood, but also a little worried.
This question stumped Zhao Mantang, as he had never eaten wolf meat.
In all these years in Shangao Village, no one has ever heard of anyone hunting a wolf, and naturally no one has ever eaten one.
"Wolves and dogs look quite similar. Do they eat them the same way as dog meat?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Everyone else looked towards him.
The man scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just asking casually."
"I really don't know about this. How about going back and asking Zijin? She's a good cook and probably knows how to make it delicious." Tang Shen saw Zhao Mantang staring at him and felt helpless. In the end, he could only pin his hopes on Qin Zijin.
It was already past eight o'clock when a group of men returned to the village carrying the corpses of four wolves.
Qin Zijin had just prepared breakfast and was eating with her two children.
There was a knock on the door at the other end.
She walked out curiously and opened the door, only to see a group of men, young and old, standing at her door, staring at her with eager eyes, their gazes filled with a bit of heat.
"Village chief, is there something wrong?" No matter how strong Qin Zijin was mentally, he was still a little scared when he suddenly saw a group of people staring at him with fiery eyes.
Zhao Mantang looked at Qin Zijin with a smile, then pointed at the wolf on the ground before speaking, "We killed four wolves yesterday, and no one knew how to cook them to make them delicious, so I thought I'd ask you. You're a good cook and have a lot of experience. Do you know how to make this?"
Qin Zijin glanced at the wolf on the ground when he heard this. When his eyes fell on the wolf skin, his eyes lit up.
This is a ready-made wolfskin coat.
"That's no problem, but Village Chief, what are you going to do with the wolf skin? Sell it?" Qin Zijin smiled, and then couldn't help but ask.
"You want wolf skin?" Zhao Mantang immediately understood Qin Zijin's thoughts.
Qin Zijin didn't act pretentiously and nodded: "I can pay for it."
"Well, I'm not very clear about the price outside. I have to ask the price first." Zhao Mantang was a little embarrassed.
If this thing belonged to him alone, he would definitely give it to Qin Zijin without saying a word.
However, these four wolf skins are now public property and belong to everyone in the village. How much they are sold for depends on whether the villagers are willing to pay for them.
"Okay, if you want to sell it, come to me then. As for how to cook wolf meat, it's actually not that difficult. It's almost the same as pork, but you need to put more ingredients in it. Ask the people who cook at home to come to me and I'll teach them." Qin Zijin nodded generously and withdrew his gaze from the wolf skin.
If I could buy the best one, I could make a set of clothes for my two children.
Wolf skin is much warmer.
But it doesn’t matter if you can’t buy it.
After hearing Qin Zijin's words, Zhao Mantang took his men to process the wolf meat and wolf skins.
Then several women who were responsible for cooking at home also came to Qin Zijin's house.
Qin Zijin did not hide anything. It happened that she was going to make stir-fried pork at noon, so she taught him on the spot.
The group of women were stunned, especially when they saw Qin Zijin cutting vegetables and meat, their jaws almost dropped.
