They had just passed a mountain pepper field, chopped a big bundle, pulled out a root, chopped it up, and put it in. They covered the pot and started stewing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Northeast mountain pepper is a vine with long round leaves; it is the vine of Schisandra. Actually, this vine is also a medicinal material, but no one wants it. Local people use it to stew meat. Of course, every family lacks meat, so it doesn't have much use!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But stewing meat with this stuff is genuinely quite good. Wang An felt the taste was even more authentic than the pepper and star anise sold at the supply and marketing cooperative!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Xueli next to him was already roasting sticky bean buns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than ten minutes, the twelve sticky bean buns had been heated through on one layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two began to gnaw on the heated layer. This stuff is really hard; you can only gnaw one layer at a time. Six each, after gnawing one layer...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to roast it again and continue gnawing on the next one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a short while, the 12 sticky bean buns were covered in tooth marks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the two ate very sweetly. This stuff gets more fragrant the more you chew it, and it's even better than roast meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating the sticky bean buns, the black bear meat was also cooked. Drinking the soup to fill the gaps, they were instantly full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Full and satisfied, they set off for home. This trip into the mountains was another significant harvest, and both were very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driving the sled, smoking cigarettes, bragging, and chatting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pile of meat on the sled, easily raking in the money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An felt this was the happy life; this life was just too damn comfortable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just arriving at the entrance of the village, he saw Li Erlengzi wandering there. Li Erlengzi also saw them and hurried over to welcome them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An didn't mind; he was concerned about the money, no problem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the three black bear skins on the sled, Li Erlengzi was instantly ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Li Erlengzi could speak, Wang An took a step ahead and told the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when Li Erlengzi heard that there were two black bears in that Earth Den, he was still very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An also took out the iron gallbladder and grass gallbladder for Li Erlengzi to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking, Li Erlengzi said, \"Brother, look, I'm waiting for money too, how about...\" After finishing, he looked at Wang An with some embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An instantly understood what he meant; he didn't trust him and wanted the money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Xueli naturally understood what was going on, and his face instantly turned ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rule in the mountains is that whatever you hunt, you split the meat when you get home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can only split the money from furs or bear gallbladders after they are sold! Because you can't calculate how much it's worth until it turns into money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, where would an ordinary family have so much money? In this era, a hundred or eighty yuan is not a small amount!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wang An completely understood; money isn't yours until it's in your pocket!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't angry either, and said, \"These two gallbladders aren't big, I reckon they can sell for five hundred yuan at most, so we'll just settle the account based on five hundred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Wang An agree to split the money now, Li Erlengzi immediately lost his embarrassment and hurriedly said, \"Five hundred is fine, let's do it as you say, brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An took the money out of his pocket directly, counted out 7 \"Great Unities\" (10-yuan bills) and one 5-yuan note, handed it to Li Erlengzi, and said, \"15% of five hundred yuan is 75 yuan. Count it and see if it's right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Erlengzi took the money, his mouth grinning almost to his ears, counted it, and said with a smile, \"Brother, you do things very straightforwardly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An smiled without speaking, turned around, and took two black bear paws from the sled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wang An take the black bear paws, Li Erlengzi pulled a large cloth bag out of his clothes pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wang An turned around and saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment; this guy was truly well-prepared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang An didn't speak, just put the black bear paws into Li Erlengzi's cloth bag, turned back, took four pieces of meat, and put them into the cloth bag too. Li Erlengzi was already grinning from ear to ear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Wang An said with a smile, \"Don't be so happy yet. When I dig out that Heavenly Den tomorrow, you'll still be able to split quite a bit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Erlengzi stopped smiling instantly and stammered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, don't be angry, that... that Heavenly Den, I... I told someone else, now it's probably all dug out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An's face darkened instantly, and he said unhappily, \"I've been so straightforward in doing things for you, and you do this shit? Damn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he ignored Li Erlengzi standing on the side, led the horse, and went home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he reached the gate of the yard, the smile had returned to his face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking into the yard, he shouted again, and the whole family ran out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the harvest was significant, the family seemed to be used to it; no one showed the incredibly happy smile they had when they hunted prey before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their movements in moving the meat were incredibly skillful. They set aside half for Mu Xueli, and the rest was put into jars or buried in the snow as needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when seeing the little yellow-haired ones in the sack were Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing very happy, because such small wild boars could be raised!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They decided on the spot: one for each family from the ones caught by Er Hei and San Hei; the one caught by Da Hei was a bit wilted, so they kept it and didn't split it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, Wang Dazhu basically went to the county every other day. There was no way around it; there was too much meat, and they couldn't eat it all if they didn't sell it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the couple muttering, they had already sold several hundred yuan worth of meat during this period!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all their own meat was moved, Wang An drove the sled again to send his brother-in-law home; mainly because there were too many things, and his brother-in-law couldn't carry them back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at his father-in-law's house, Wang An hugged his sister-in-law and kissed her. Mu Xueting was getting closer and closer to Wang An; it seemed her brother-in-law was much better than her eldest brother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his brother-in-law took everything off the sled, Wang An said to Mu Xueli, \"Don't forget to drive the sled to my house tomorrow. I'm leaving now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He refused his father-in-law's family's request to stay for dinner and drove the sled home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Wang An glanced at the wall clock; it was 6:30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the good show Wang An had been looking forward to was officially starting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard the bell of the brigade headquarters being rung by someone; it was rung very urgently, meaning a gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn't rung urgently, it was also a gathering, but it meant a big meeting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling it a bell, it was actually a piece of rail less than a meter long that had been hung up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every village had something similar, either a large piece of thick iron, a rusty big guillotine, or, of course, a real iron bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, as long as you hit these things with a hammer, they were particularly loud, and the sound could travel at least 2 li away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard his mother ask in confusion, \"What big thing happened again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An put on his shoes calmly and said to his family, \"I'll go take a look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went out and walked toward the brigade headquarters. People were converging on the brigade headquarters from all directions, asking each other what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An knew what was going on, but could he say it? Certainly not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he pretended not to know anything and continued walking toward the brigade headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brigade headquarters was next to the small shop, and people were gathered at the entrance of the small shop, chatting and bullshitting, without any tense or worried atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An and a few cousins, eldest brother Wang Yong, second brother Wang Shun, third brother Wang Gan, and fifth brother Wang Li, the five of them naturally walked together, also bullshitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, all the families had eaten plenty of the meat Wang Dazhu had sent, and they knew Wang An was hunting in the mountains now, so they were all clamoring to go hunting with Wang An...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this kind of bell-ringing gathering, as long as you had split from the family and lived separately, you had to come!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Northeast, all kinds of things happened too often, and people were numb, so no matter what happened, they couldn't help but bullshit and brag first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When people had mostly arrived, brigade secretary Niu Qun cleared his throat and spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Comrades, today during the day, our village's Comrade Niu Dali went into the mountains to hunt a black bear and hasn't returned yet. Something unexpected may have happened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For comrades like this who are brave enough to fight against animals that destroy grain, we must go save him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I announce the formation of a search team. All the strong male laborers from every family must be dispatched, in groups of at least 5 and at most 10. Enter the mountains immediately. Everyone with a gun must bring it. Every group must have militia or hunters. Set off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1693,"2026-06-12T12:41:02.024Z","2026-06-18T03:38:37.614Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c7f4727d3043373c7b8f3ffb13c35ae692975715bc39cde4c091bbfe35377ceb","reborn-in-the-80s-mountain-hunting-is-also-a-lif-chapter-105","reborn-in-the-80s-mountain-hunting-is-also-a-lif-chapter-103",1172,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-the-80s-mountain-hunting-is-also-a-lif-cover.jpg"]
