Chapter 76

Wang An was collecting money when he heard the group of people playing mahjong talking about the news of the big brown bear!

Lu Deshu and Zhang Tiegang were also listening intently.

It was said that a few days ago, a hunter from Heishan Village saw a big brown bear chasing a black bear at Qingshigang, 15 or 16 miles south of Black Bear Ditch.

That big brown bear also killed the hunter's two dogs. The hunter used a double-barreled shotgun and didn't dare to measure it, so he went home directly!

Wang An didn't listen to other words, just thinking.

Big brown bear and black bear are both bears. Big brown bear is a brown bear, and black bear is a black bear.

It's just that as long as the big brown bear sees the black bear, it will inevitably chase and kill it, but it won't eat the black bear meat. No one knows the specific reason!

At this time of year, black bears are basically hibernating. But big brown bears are different. Some hibernate, and others don't hibernate and are walking outside.

Digging out the black bear's den is dangerous enough. If the black bear doesn't hibernate and is walking, the danger is directly multiplied by several times.

However, a walking big brown bear must be at least 500 catties, generally normal ones are 700 or 800 catties, and the largest ones exceed 1000 catties!

And the big brown bear kills the black bear, and the black bear has no ability to resist! How dangerous is that big brown bear? How difficult is it to fight?

Besides, Wang An hasn't fought it before! The most important thing is that Wang An not only hasn't fought it, but hasn't even seen it! How the hell can this be done?

Wang An took back his thoughts, finished washing the cards, and noticed that Lu Deshu and Zhang Tiegang seemed to stop paying attention after hearing it was a big brown bear!

It seems that for the walking big brown bear, even if they heard about it, hunters don't care! It is estimated that they don't want to measure that thing, and they are afraid of losing their lives. If they really lose their lives for a big brown bear, then everything will be in vain!

Wang An also didn't have a determined mind, and fried golden flowers were even less attentive, because this thing can't make a fortune, even if you cheat, it's useless. There are always people who are better than you!

In gambling, the longer you gamble, the deeper you get trapped, because as long as you are a human, you want to get something for nothing, and you want to get rich overnight!

Wang An is certainly no exception, but he has experienced a lot and seen through it!

After playing for a while, winning a few hands and losing a few hands, he always kept the 10-odd yuan he won, and didn't guess the size of the cards based on the micro-expressions of the people in the game!

There are only three words: not worth it!

Really feeling it's boring, Wang An distributed a circle of cigarettes again, said goodbye, and turned to go home!

Fried golden flowers are like this, sometimes people join, sometimes people leave, normally, no one cares.

Walking on the way home, Wang An still didn't dare to make up his mind, because the shadow of the black bear pouncing on Wang An that day was a bit too big. As long as he thought of that scene, he felt lingering fear!

But Wang An's news sources were really too few. For this kind of particularly valuable mountain animal, it's really not easy to know where it is!

Of course, most ordinary hunters are like this. If this is news of a black bear's den, the news might not be spread at all, and it would have been dug by the hunter from Heishan Village himself!

Or tell other powerful hunters, let other hunters go secretly, and he himself takes a share! Just like the den that Feng Cheng led Wang An to dig.

Why is it said to be secret? Because they are afraid that others will know!

A hunter's wealth is the accumulation of various valuable prey!

And bear gall, but it accounts for a large part! Why can a gunner get five or six bear galls every year, while many hunters find it difficult to get one bear gall a year?

It is because these dens, old gunners know many dens, and every year there will be several dens where new black bears or brown bears will go to squat.

As long as after the first snow falls in winter, and then wait for about ten days, until the black bear or brown bear is completely asleep and enters deep hibernation!

Then you can go around, skip those dens without goods, and for those with goods, just do it!

In this way, for those gunners or old hunters, making money is so simple!

You know, even the cheapest grass gall can be worth more than 200 yuan. This is still the price of the gall produced by a black bear that has just reached adulthood and weighs about 200 catties.

If it is iron gall or gold gall, it is 300-odd and 500-odd respectively. And there are black bear skin, knees, nose, and meat, black bear paws are also things that can be sold for money!

So, you can know that a gunner or old hunter can earn four or five years of wages for a government formal employee in this winter just by digging dens. What is this concept?

Bear gall has always been calculated by grams. Of course, earlier it was calculated by "money". "Money" is the unit after "tael".

China's own measurement unit is "catty", "tael", "money", "fen"..., the earliest was hexadecimal, and it has been decimal since liberation!

Of course, the commonly used ones are "catty", "tael", "money". Because bear gall has gall skin and impurities on the skin, it is accurate to "money"!

"Fen" is generally a measurement unit used for weighing gold, silver, wild ginseng, etc.

Later, in order to be more accurate, valuable things are basically calculated by "gram", 1 catty = 10 taels, 1 tael = 50 grams.

Normally, a black bear has just reached adulthood, so its gall is basically above 50 grams after air-drying.

That is to say, grass gall is 4 yuan per gram, iron gall is 6 yuan per gram, and gold gall is 10 yuan per gram.

Big brown bear gall is not as valuable as black bear gall. The best gold gall is the same price as black bear grass gall.

However, but, it is big! That big one!

When it was just taken out, it was as big as a child's head, and it was basically above 100 grams after air-drying!

Even if it is the cheapest big brown bear grass gall, 2 yuan per gram, even if it is a small brown bear every time, and it is a small gall of 100 grams, it is at least 200 yuan.

What is this concept? Half a year's salary for a formal employee!

Therefore, mountain-goers basically inherit their father's business, in addition to hunting experience, skills, and methods.

And the old mountain-goers themselves are a proper living treasure!

In the mountains of thousands of miles, not only black bear dens and brown bear dens, where there are big skins, or where tiger cubs often appear, which mountain range has musk deer, and even many ginseng old nests, etc., very valuable things! They all know where they are!

Musk deer, also called fragrant musk deer, is the original musk deer, much smaller than the silly roe deer. The male has a musk sac on its butt, which produces something called musk, a medicinal material more expensive than gold, and can also be said to be a spice!

Old nest, that is, the ginseng nest, a very large piece of land, with several large and small ginsengs!

This is also why a few years later, the era and situation became less strict, and they or their descendants could suddenly get rich!

In fact, those gunners now also have a lot of money, or have a lot of valuable things, but in this day and age, if people know you have money, it will be a big problem!

The most miserable is Wang An, who has no inheritance and no one to teach him by words and deeds for a long time! Naturally, no one will tell him the traces of these valuable things!

Hunting skills, methods, etc., all have to be learned, experience has to be summarized by himself, and there is no information or resources!

Everything has to rely on himself! And can only rely on himself!

Besides, the matter of seeking wealth in danger, done!

Please follow the story, please follow the story, please follow the story! My dear big shots!

The data is sparse! One day in the sky, two days on the ground, my god!
