Chapter 106
Li Long didn't care about those wild boars running around the mountain, jumped up all of a sudden, ran to Halimu's side, and looked at the direction his gun was pointing.
"A wolf, a lone wolf. This lone wolf probably has its eyes on us." Halimu turned his head and looked at Li Long, "Go, go take a look?"
"Go!" Li Long thought of the wolf from a few days ago; he didn't know if it was that one.
Being watched by this kind of thing, it was definitely uncomfortable; who knows when it would sneak an attack.
The two held their guns and walked into the forest. After walking out more than thirty meters, they saw the claw prints of the wolf passing through in the snow and a bit of bloodstains in the snow.
"Hit it, huh." Li Long bent down, reached out, and wiped a few drops of blood on the snow, which had already frozen.
"Shouldn't be a serious injury." Halimu looked at the direction the wolf dashed out, "Forget it, can't catch up. Pity those wild boars."
"It's okay, one is enough." Li Long pointed to the hillside, "Even if there were more, it wouldn't be easy to carry back."
"Go, go process it." Halimu looked into the forest again. He saw that it was a long way before there was a drop of blood from the wolf's claw prints, knowing that the wolf was only slightly injured.
Li Long, however, was secretly marveling at Halimu's marksmanship—the sky wasn't bright yet, and just by the sound, he hit the wolf in the forest; really powerful!
The wild boar was still trying hard to dig toward the mountain as it was dying, but blood had already flowed all over the ground, and it had no strength left.
Li Long stepped forward, slung his gun, took his knife, drained its blood, and then gutted it.
The smell of the internal organs rushed out from the belly, almost knocking Li Long down. He took a look and felt some regret; it was a male wild boar. Although it wasn't big, it didn't taste as good as the female one.
"Did you bring the plastic sheet?" Halimu asked from the side.
"Brought it," Li Long said, "I'll drag it to the mountain pass, you go back and help me get the bicycle over, and I'll carry the pig back directly."
"No rush, we have to eat breakfast before leaving, anyway. After freezing for so long, go back and drink some milk tea."
Li Long thought about the milk tea and agreed.
He spread out the plastic sheet, carefully put the wild boar on the plastic sheet, wrapped it up, tied it, and dragged it toward the mountain pass. Halimu followed behind, looking to both sides from time to time.
Arriving at the mountain pass, Li Long looked left and right, found a position by the side of the road, buried the wild boar with snow, and said to Halimu:
"Go, let's go back."
"Good." The two returned to the winter camp. Li Long drank milk tea, ate naan, and chewed two strips of dried meat, and only then took his leave.
Riding his bicycle to the mountain pass, Li Long was surprised to find that the wild boar had actually been dug up by something. It was estimated that the time was too short, and it only tore the plastic sheet, and the wild boar hadn't been eaten yet.
Could it be that wolf?
Li Long looked left and right, didn't discover anything, and somewhat doubtfully picked up the wild boar and put it on the back rack of the bicycle.
Working really trains people. Before, let alone fifty or sixty kilograms of things, even forty kilograms would be difficult for him to hold.
Now he didn't feel that holding this pig was particularly difficult.
After tying up the wild boar and putting away the gun, Li Long straddled the bicycle, tapped his toes on the ground twice, and the bicycle, taking advantage of the downhill, slid forward directly. He took the opportunity to step on the pedals and rode it.
By the time the bicycle arrived at the county seat, Li Long already had sweat on his body.
Returning to the big courtyard, he set a fire for the stove, and only then did Li Long manage to rest for a while. He planned to sell the wild boar meat, so he had to skin it, which was a big job.
The wild boar's internal organs, intestines, and such needed to be cleaned. What made him somewhat gratified was that there was a tap water pipe in the big house—it looked like it should have been added new before the New Year, quite convenient.
Thinking about it, Li Long pressed the fire on the stove, put on his clothes, and went to the street. Just using these things, he still had to pay the money first.
"Are you here to pay the water and electricity bill?" The street staff was somewhat surprised, "Which family?"
"He is number sixty-eight, the new owner of the big courtyard where the old Ma family lived." The person who originally handled the procedures for Li Long inserted a sentence, "The water and electricity bill for old Ma's side should indeed be paid."
"However, there aren't many people who take the initiative to come and pay the water and electricity bill. Come, I'll calculate it for you..."
After calculating, Li Long needed to pay a total of nine jiao and four fen.
Alright, it's really not expensive. Rest assured, go home, boil water to wash those internal organs, and received the attack of those gases in the internal organs again. Li Long thought that he would never do this again in the future.
Too troublesome!
Watching Wang Cai Mi turn the intestines so smoothly, how did it become like this when it reached him?
He did it halfway, threw the things away, and went to skin the pig.
Fortunately, he had skinned it several times, and he skinned the pig skin in a stumbling way, and then it was time to unload it.
He planned to go to the morning market tomorrow to see if he could sell the meat. If he couldn't sell it, he would go to Shicheng.
Having a bicycle is really too convenient.
After unloading the pig, he didn't want to move anymore. Li Long lay on the bed until the sky was almost dark, his belly hungry to the point of sticking to his back, and only then did he crawl up, go to the meat canteen, order a portion of over-oil meat mixed noodles, and brought two extra noodles.
At this time, extra noodles didn't cost money—even if you added ten noodles, it didn't cost money. In his previous life, Li Long had seen someone add seven noodles at most, which was amazing.
He added one noodle, which wasn't enough, and two noodles were slightly too much. At this time, the portion of the over-oil meat dish was solid, and the meat pieces inside were large, soft, and not hard. When eating, he ate two cloves of garlic, which was beautiful.
After eating, he drank a mouthful of noodle soup, the original soup dissolved the original food. Li Long rested for a few minutes, and just as he was preparing to leave, Zhong Guo Qiang walked over.
!.
"Little Comrade Li, are you free?"
"Hmm, I just finished working."
"Do you have any good things?" Zhong Guo Qiang sat opposite Li Long and asked with a smile.
"Just hunted a wild boar, do you want it?"
"That's not bad, give me ten kilograms of rib meat, and another five kilograms of pork belly. By the way, are the internal organs there?"
"Yes, not finished cleaning yet." Li Long said.
"Then... give them all to me, but it has to be cheaper, cleaning these things takes effort."
"No problem!" Li Long said happily, "Should I carry them over to you later?"
"Alright."
This immediately handed over more than ten kilograms of meat, and sold the internal organs too. Li Long was very happy, went out to unlock, rode his bicycle back to the big courtyard, cut the meat well, and the internal organs had already frozen. He just bundled them together, put them on the back seat of the bicycle, and sent them to the meat canteen.
When he came out, he had thirty yuan more on him.
He rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought another roll of plastic sheet before getting off work—this thing is a consumable, really not durable.
The next morning, Li Long set up the stove, boiled water, didn't want to cook, went to the meat canteen for breakfast, came back, put the meat on the plastic sheet, carried the scale, dragged the meat, and went to the morning market.
There were more people at the morning market. Li Long took a look, and there were three selling fish, one selling meat, four or five selling grain, and quite a few selling zero-reef things left.
He found a place to set up at random, and soon someone came to ask.
"Wild boar meat, one yuan and five per kilogram." Li Long still had the old price, "Hunted yesterday, do you want it?"
"Yes." The person who came immediately agreed, "Weigh me a piece of pork belly."
Li Long's voice wasn't small, and quite a few people soon surrounded him.
The thirty-plus kilograms of meat he had left were sold out in less than half an hour!
Li Long was somewhat puzzled, what's the situation?
When he packed up his stall, he found out that the other meat sellers were at least one yuan and sixty-five!
"The price of things has risen in this era, can't we raise the price a bit since this meat doesn't need coupons?" A stall owner looked at Li Long, hating that iron wouldn't become steel, "You sell it so cheaply, you're earning a lot less!"
Only then did Li Long understand that the things at the morning market had also risen in price.
