Chapter 267

After the three of them returned to the edge of the big ditch, they didn't delay and began to dismantle the remaining half of the black bear, as well as the deer that had about half left after feeding the dogs.

Mu Xueli suddenly said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you say this black bear appeared quite in time, right? Otherwise, this deer meat would all have to be fed to the dogs, and the three of us wouldn't be able to eat a single mouthful of deer meat."

"Yeah, if this black bear had come a while earlier, the deer would all have been saved." Wang An also said with a smile.

He only heard Wang Li say: "Really good, there's deer meat to eat again, hahaha."

After unloading the meat, Wang An looked at the deer bones and bear paws and thought for a while and said:

"Deer spine bones and deer leg bones, as well as deer tendons, you two take half each; deer skin, deer tail, and deer heart belong to me; deer blood, the three of us take two boxes each."

Then Wang An said again: "Black bear paws and knees, you two take one each; I want two bear paws and the bear nose."

Speaking of this, Wang An glanced at the deer pack and said again: "Those deer, you two take two big and two small each, pick them yourselves; whatever is left after picking is mine."

"All right, brother-in-law, Fourth brother," the two answered at the same time without any hesitation.

Wang An looked at a pile of meat again and said: "This few dozen jin of meat is too little, so we won't sell it; after eating this meal, the three of us will divide it and be done with it."

Every time the three of them distributed what they got, it was always Wang An who had the final say; after all, the kinship between Wang An and the two was very close, but no matter how close, they are still relatives!

So every time Wang An distributed, he tried his best to be impartial; of course, even if there was a slight inequality, Mu Xueli and Wang Li wouldn't have any dissatisfaction.

After all, neither of them was the kind of person who didn't understand things, nor were they the kind of person who loved to haggle over every ounce.

And the days their families have now, to say it's all thanks to Wang An might be a bit exaggerated, but if Wang An hadn't pulled them, then even if there were improvements, they would definitely be limited.

The three of them chatted and laughed and started melting snow to stew meat; heating steamed buns and roasting meat were also carried out at the same time.

It was just that when cutting meat and roasting meat, Wang Li and Mu Xueli started a new round of nonsense again.

While cutting thin slices of meat, Mu Xueli said: "Fifth, how much black bear meat can you eat, your Brother Mu will roast it for you."

Wang Li said without raising his head: "You take whatever you want and eat it yourself, I don't eat black bear meat."

Mu Xueli said cheaply: "Didn't you say that black bear meat has a lot of fat, and it's fragrant to eat?"

Wang Li's reaction was not slow at all; he only heard Wang Li say: "That's because the 'unique skill' that makes me benefit infinitely hasn't been learned yet; even if I eat fat meat, it's not fragrant!"

Wang Li bit the two words "unique skill" very hard, obviously keeping in mind the bragging Mu Xueli did.

Mu Xueli's face is not thin at all now, so hearing Wang Li's complaint, he didn't have any embarrassed attitude at all, just grinning and laughing there.

After the three of them were full, they started loading the bones and meat they had divided onto the sled, and then lifted the deer onto the sled.

Because the sled was pulling live deer today, and Wang An's sled even had 6 deer, there was no empty space on the sled.

Mu Xueli and Wang Li couldn't squeeze onto Wang An's sled, so they each drove their sleds home.

The mountain wind was very strong; although the sleds were not far apart, it was very difficult to talk to each other, so the three of them, who usually bragged all the way, felt quite uncomfortable driving their own sleds today.

After driving the sled into the courtyard, Wang An immediately shouted: "I'm back, Father, Mother, Wife, you all come out."

Hearing Wang An's shout, the whole family ran out, and even the two little sisters actually followed Wang Yi out.

Liu Guilan saw the deer on the sled and couldn't help but shout: "Oh my mother, why did you catch so many live deer?"

Wang An said with a grin: "Yeah, Mother, how is it? Shouldn't you praise me twice?"

Although Liu Guilan was very happy, she still patted Wang An with a smile and then said: "I praise you for finding work for your father and me every day?"

Wang An still said with a smile: "That's talking nonsense, I'm so filial, how can I let my father and mother do work? Tomorrow, tomorrow we will slaughter these 6 deer, what do you say, Mother?"

Liu Guilan patted Wang An again and said: "You brat, you deliberately make me angry every day."

"Hehehe," Wang An didn't speak and laughed. Seeing the deer on the sled, the whole family was very happy, and the two little sisters were even more fond of the deer.

It was just that the deer didn't give any face; seeing the two little ones approach, the already panicked deer called out even more urgently, obviously very afraid.

However, deer as an animal are actually very easy to deal with after getting familiar with people.

In the village, including the nearby villages, there are families who raise deer; although basically there are only one or two or two or three, they are all just scattered in the courtyard and are not afraid of people at all.

Of course, the deer they raise are also caught, but because they are difficult to catch, the quantity is not large, but it has to be said that everyone likes to raise this thing.

Because deer as an animal, for many people, is a kind of auspicious omen; people feel that wherever a deer goes, it will bring auspiciousness to that place.

So many people like deer head and deer antler ornaments, and many people also like paintings with deer.

Saying it is an auspicious omen is actually somewhat related to many mysterious things.

Because this thing often appears with red-crowned cranes in many ancient folk stories; they are all divine objects and the embodiment of justice.

"Deer" is "Lu" (emolument), and "Deer have a thousand-year lifespan, every step worries about sorrow" has also been circulating among the people.

In other words, deer also represent the auspicious meaning of "Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity."

Putting these aside, the actual function of deer is also not something that ordinary animals can compare to.

Deer eat grass, and in the countryside, as long as people are diligent, the least lacking thing is grass.

Although feeding deer some grain is better for the deer, in the absence of grain, raising deer can be done without feeding grain.

Simply put, deer are easy to raise and save trouble.

And such an easy-to-raise thing can also create economic value, which is money.

Without killing the deer, one can bleed the deer a bit; besides being able to soak deer blood wine, deer blood is also something that can be sold for money, but what the supply and marketing cooperative acquires is deer blood powder.

Deer blood powder is actually just drying the deer blood directly, which is very simple.

The blood-making ability of deer is very awesome; an adult deer can have three or five jin of blood drawn in batches a year, which is no problem at all.

Then there is deer antler; besides bleeding the deer to sell for money, there is also cutting deer antler to sell for money; deer antler, this thing, from ancient times to the present, has never been a time when it wasn't valuable.

Even if the deer antler ages into deer horn, this deer horn can still be used to boil deer horn glue; this thing is still valuable and also not cheap.

So, raising deer in the countryside is basically a good thing with a hundred benefits and no harm.

From the moment he saw the deer, Wang Dazhu's mouth hadn't closed, always with a smile.

Wang An asked with a smile: "Father, that deer blood wine, is it really quite potent?"

Wang Dazhu was even happier upon hearing this and said with a smile: "Yeah, my whole body doesn't hurt anymore; I'll record a merit for you, Father."

"Hahahaha," the whole family laughed.

After the whole family laughed, Wang An asked: "These deer, where should we put them?"

Please follow, please vote, thank you, thank you.
