Chapter 153

Speaking of this, Wang Li stopped talking. Wang An was still pondering while listening, and subconsciously glanced at Wang Li. I saw that Wang Li's face, which had been slapped blue, was about to rise with resentment again at this time.

Wang An suddenly reacted and hurriedly said: "Old Five, hurry up and learn from your Brother Mu how to take the black bear gall. This is all technical work. Learning it is all knowledge."

Sure enough, before Wang Li's resentment could rise, as soon as he heard about taking the gall, it disappeared immediately, and he ran to Mu Xueli's side full of excitement.

Looking at Wang Li's back, Wang An thought to himself: Fortunately, this kid Old Five is quite easy to fool!

Glancing at his right hand again, sigh! Every single day!

Wang An was still pondering where the three black bears came from, when he heard Mu Xueli shouting happily: "Brother-in-law, this is an iron gall."

Hearing this, Wang An was also very happy. Although iron gall is not as valuable as gold gall, it is at least over 300 yuan. He hurriedly took out a thin hemp rope and a cloth pocket, ran over, carefully tied the top of the iron gall, and put it into the cloth pocket.

Watching this iron gall being carefully put into the cloth pocket by his Fourth Brother, Wang Li couldn't help but ask: "Fourth Brother, how much is an iron gall like this worth?"

Wang An glanced at Wang Li. Maybe Old Five never paid attention to the purchase price of these things every time he went to the county supply and marketing cooperative, so he said with a smile: "This is about three hundred and forty or fifty, you can get more than 100 yuan."

I saw Wang Li's mouth split to the roots of his ears after hearing this, and he was still muttering: "More than 100 yuan, my mother! I haven't seen what more than 100 yuan looks like yet!"

At this time, Mu Xueli said with a smile: "Following your Fourth Brother, what is 100 yuan? 1000 yuan is just small money!"

Hearing this, Wang Li seemed to think of something, glanced at the remaining two black bears that hadn't had their gall taken, and the pile of blue sheep fur, and subconsciously nodded!

Just now when Wang Li and Mu Xueli were chatting, Wang Li heard Mu Xueli talk about the approximate price of blue sheep fur. This pile is truly worth quite a lot of money!

The second black bear gall taken out was another iron gall. The three were also very happy, but much calmer.

It's just that the third black bear gall taken out was still an iron gall. Mu Xueli and Wang An couldn't help but look at each other. Only Wang Li didn't know why and was still excitedly saying: "Isn't this more than a thousand yuan?"

Wang An and Mu Xueli didn't pay attention to Wang Li, but stared at the iron gall in front of them without a word, because both of them were very puzzled. This situation is truly magical.

If this third black bear gall were a gold gall or grass gall, both would feel it normal. According to the one-third probability, it's correct for these two types of gall to appear!

But three black bears producing three iron galls, how high must this probability be?

"Brother-in-law, you say these three black bears are basically the same size, could they be born in the same litter?" Mu Xueli said puzzledly.

Wang Li glanced at these three black bears. Don't say, they really look like they are from the same litter, all around 220 or 230 jin, not too big, belonging to the kind that left the den for a year or two, and none of them have little balls. These three black bears might really be three sisters!

Seeing this, Wang An nodded and said: "Mm, it's likely the case!"

Then Wang An asked again: "Then you say, why did the mother and two children we hunted last time produce three different types of gall?"

Mu Xueli was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes hard, and then said a very reasonable thing: "That might be because those two little black bears followed their father!"

After Mu Xueli finished speaking, Wang An was stunned for a moment. Could it be that brothers' galls are different, but sisters' galls will be the same?

After thinking for a while, Wang An suddenly discovered, why the hell am I struggling with this? Whatever, let it be!

Thinking of this, Wang An raised his head and found Mu Xueli taking out a cloth bag from somewhere, putting the black bear gall inside, while Wang Li was still giggling there.

"I told you to learn how to take the gall, what are you doing? Did you learn it?" Wang An shouted at Wang Li.

Wang An's shout made Wang Li stop giggling immediately. Without answering, he obediently went up to help Mu Xueli put the black bear gall away.

Wang An gathered the seven wolves together. Four wolf furs were intact. The last three killed by Wang An didn't have major injuries, all were small holes the size of a fingernail bitten by the three dogs!

Can't be sold, can only continue to make mattresses!

Now even in Shen Wei's house, the cotton mattresses are all fur mattresses after being dried on the kang. This kind of fur mattress is truly warm, it's just that this thing attracts lice quite severely. You have to throw it outside to freeze for a few days every three days, otherwise, with the protection of the fur, lice simply can't be frozen to death in a day or two!

Wang Li handed the last iron gall collected to Wang An, and then Wang An said: "Old Five, you come and skin these three wolf furs, hurry up and practice. I'll go drive the sled."

After Wang An finished speaking, he turned and left. A few minutes later, he returned to the blue sheep pile, tethered the horse, fed it fodder, and together with Wang Li and Mu Xueli, skinned and unloaded the wolves and black bears.

After finishing everything, Wang An looked at his watch, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. The three started to light a fire and cook.

For this set, Wang An and Mu Xueli were already familiar with it, and it was easy for them! It's just that when Wang An was stewing blue sheep meat, Mu Xueli and Wang Li had a disagreement on roasting meat.

Mu Xueli roasted blue sheep meat, saying only sheep meat is delicious when roasted! But Wang Li insisted on roasting black bear meat, saying black bear meat has a lot of fat and is fragrant when eaten!

Wang An glanced at them and almost gave each of them a kick. He shouted impatiently: "Are you two sick? Why are you dawdling over such a small thing? Roast whatever you want."

Actually, Wang An also loves to eat sheep meat. Black bear meat is too fatty and only suitable for oil or stewing with sauerkraut. Now, whether it's Wang An's house or Mu Xueli's house, you basically can't see fatty meat on the dining table at every meal, mainly because no one eats it, whether adults or children!

Especially in Wang An's house, the fatty meat left on the vegetable plate is always given to Wang Dazhu by Liu Guilan. Wang Dazhu doesn't dare to resist and can only eat two pieces symbolically!

What's left in the end is basically mixed into corn flour or potatoes to feed the dogs!

Dogs, this kind of animal, can't be fed only meat, because dogs have been raised by humans into omnivores!

After the roasted meat was cooked, Wang An and Mu Xueli ate steamed buns made of two types of flour with roasted sheep meat, while Wang Li ate roasted black bear meat by himself. He didn't touch the steamed buns at all, eating with oil flowing from his mouth, very fragrant and sweet.

Wang An and Mu Xueli didn't take it seriously, because when they first started mountain trekking, they also liked to eat fatty meat, but after eating too much, they lost interest when they saw it, and instead felt that steamed buns were their favorite!

People are just like this, they will keep changing!

After a while, the sheep meat was stewed, and Wang An and Mu Xueli started drinking soup, but Wang Li was still stuffing roasted black bear meat into his mouth!

At Wang Li's age, having this appetite is a normal situation. "Half-grown boys eat their fathers out of house and home," that saying is absolutely correct!
