Chapter 801: All Grass Gallbladders
After Wang Li finished speaking, Wang An only smiled, but did not dare to echo him.
The main reason was that Wang An had a very strong premonition in his heart that the two gallbladders, one large and one small, that Seeing Mu Xueli had taken were also unlikely to be Golden Galls.
However, this thing is just like that; whatever comes out comes out, and in any case, it will not follow human wishes.
Just like that, Wang An and Wang Li led their horses, guiding the four dogs including Da Hei, and walked toward the direction where Seeing Mu Xueli was.
By the time the two of them arrived, an hour had already passed.
At this moment, Seeing Mu Xueli had not only finished butchering both the large and small black bears, but had even started stewing the bear meat, which looked like it was almost cooked.
And at this time, Seeing Mu Xueli was threading meat onto wooden skewers, then dipping the skewered meat into soybean paste and chili powder, and sticking them around the campfire.
This way of eating was much better than dipping meat in salt; after all, the fragrance of soybean paste is something all Northeasterners love.
Especially after the meat was roasted, the taste of the soybean paste could suppress the gamey smell inherent in the meat, making it taste even more delicious.
In fact, the reason they were eating it this way was mainly because the appetites of the three of them were becoming increasingly picky; if they didn't change up the methods, no one was willing to eat anymore.
To put it bluntly, they were all damn spoiled.
However, the only inconvenient thing about doing it this way was that it wasn't easy to carry soybean paste into the mountains, mainly because there were no suitable containers, so they could only use canned bottles to hold it, and if they weren't careful, the bottles would get smashed.
As soon as Seeing Mu Xueli saw Wang An and Wang Li, he asked impatiently:
"Brother-in-law, what kind of gallbladder did the black bear you two killed produce?"
The matter of taking a bear gallbladder was somewhat similar to gambling on stones; the nervousness and excitement in one's heart were almost impossible for anyone to resist.
This was also the reason why every time the three of them hunted bears, Wang An had to wait until the gallbladder was taken out before doing anything else.
If it weren't for the fact that this male black bear's life or death was unknown after being shot, Wang An wouldn't have been so hurried to chase the bear before the gallbladder was taken out.
However, there is a fundamental difference between taking a bear gallbladder and gambling on stones, which is that gambling on stones is "one cut to poverty, one cut to wealth, one cut to wearing hemp cloth."
In other words, it is highly likely that one will lose everything.
But when taking a bear gallbladder, at the very least it will be a grass gallbladder; although the price difference between gallbladders is quite large, a grass gallbladder is still worth money.
Simply put, the failure rate of gambling on stones is too high, leading to a lack of confidence, but taking a bear gallbladder doesn't make one panic, because there is a minimum guarantee.
After hearing Seeing Mu Xueli's question, Wang An said with a face full of annoyance:
"Don't even mention it, a 500-jin black bear, and it only produced a damn grass gallbladder, truly a complete waste."
Immediately following, Wang An asked right away:
"How are these two black bears? What kind of gallbladders did they produce?"
Upon hearing Wang An say it was a grass gallbladder, Seeing Mu Xueli's expression immediately wilted, and then he said listlessly:
"The two I took are the same; the big one is a grass gallbladder, and the small one is also a grass gallbladder, and they aren't even that big. Once they are air-dried, I think it'll be pretty good if they're worth 60 yuan."
After Seeing Mu Xueli finished speaking, Wang Li was instantly stunned, and immediately after, Wang Li shouted with his big eyes wide open:
"Oh my god, this is really damn incredible. How come we're stuck with grass gallbladders? We've only killed 5 black bears since spring, and this is great, 4 of them produced grass gallbladders. Only that small black bear last time produced an iron gallbladder, and it wasn't even that big. What's going on?"
Seeing Mu Xueli said while spreading soybean paste on the meat skewers:
"Who knows, maybe it's because we didn't calculate an auspicious time before entering the mountains."
Wang Li immediately said with a face full of indignation:
"Forget it, what auspicious time? Hunting is something where whenever you go, that's the auspicious time. If you ask me, it's because we've killed too few black bears; if we kill more, naturally Golden Galls will appear." One has to admit, Wang Li's words were still very reasonable; the quantity was just too small.
Wang An was also extremely puzzled about the matter of always getting grass gallbladders; 5 bears and 4 grass gallbladders, with this kind of luck, how bad could it get?
Wang An and Wang Li unloaded the sacks containing meat from the horses' backs and sat together by the campfire, eating the roasted meat.
Although Seeing Mu Xueli had been stewing and roasting meat, he hadn't eaten a single bite himself. At this moment, after the meat was cooked, he took a bite and his eyes immediately lit up as he said:
"Brother-in-law, you have to admit, this meat roasted with soybean paste, and then sprinkled with a bit of chili powder, is actually quite delicious."
Wang An said while chewing the meat:
"That's a must, if it wasn't delicious, would I go through the trouble of bringing soybean paste into the mountains?"
Only hearing Seeing Mu Xueli say with a face full of smiles:
"Brother-in-law, I'm going to take a piece of meat home in a while, our family hasn't eaten fresh meat for a long time, every day it's either cured meat or smoked meat, it's really not that tasty."
Upon hearing this, Wang An said with a face of indifference:
"Take it, take more, anyway we have to enter the mountains again in two days."
After another while, Seeing Mu Xueli suddenly said:
"Brother-in-law, I heard from people in our village that our village is going to distribute green seedlings."

Wang An and Wang Li were stunned upon hearing this, and only heard Wang Li say with a face full of curiosity:
"Distribute green seedlings? What does distributing green seedlings mean?"
Wang An actually knew what "distributing green seedlings" was about; this thing was actually just distributing the planted fields to the common people, just like the household responsibility system, it could be considered another form of land distribution.
And then after the autumn harvest, the land would have to be redistributed again.
It's just that in Wang An's past life, this "distributing green seedlings" matter didn't happen in Xing'an Township, though he had heard of it in other regions.
He didn't know what kind of butterfly effect Wang An's rebirth had caused, leading to many things happening in such a confused way.
Just as Wang An was pondering how he had flapped his wings, Seeing Mu Xueli explained the matter of "distributing green seedlings."
Simply put, it was one sentence: all the crops that had already been planted were to be redistributed according to the number of people.
After Seeing Mu Xueli finished explaining to Wang Li, he turned his head and said to Wang An:
"Brother-in-law, you say that distributing green seedlings can also be considered land distribution, and besides, it will all be distributed by the end of the year. I'm thinking I'll buy a four-wheeled vehicle to farm, and then you help me find Brother Wu and the others."
Wang An regained his composure and said:
"Buying a four-wheeled vehicle might be a bit of a struggle, but buying a walking tractor shouldn't be a problem. Why don't you just buy a walking tractor? Just make do with it for a few years first."
Although a four-wheeled vehicle is indeed better than a walking tractor, if one wants to buy that kind of thing, it's inevitable that one would have to ask Wu Dong and the others to pull strings and use favors. Once that happens, it's not really worth it.
The main thing is, no matter how good the relationship is, favors shouldn't be consumed like this!
