Chapter 106: Li Long’s incident happened?
Li Long ignored the wild boars running around the mountain. He jumped up and ran to Halimu, looking in the direction his gun was pointing.
"A wolf, a lone wolf. This lone wolf is probably targeting us." Halimu turned his head and glanced at Li Long. "Let's go and take a look?"
"Let's go!" Li Long remembered the wolf from a few days ago and wondered if it was that one.
It would definitely be uncomfortable to be stared at by something like this, and you never know when you might be ambushed.
Two men walked into the woods with guns. After walking more than 30 meters, they saw the paw prints of a wolf in the snow and a little blood in the snow.
"He's injured." Li Long bent down and reached out to wipe the few drops of blood on the snow, which had already frozen.
"It shouldn't be a serious injury." Halimu looked at the direction the wolf ran away, "Forget it, I can't catch up. It's a pity for those wild boars."
"It's okay, one is enough." Li Long pointed to the hillside, "It would be difficult to bring back more."
"Let's go and deal with it." Halimu looked into the woods again. He saw the wolf's paw prints were quite far away and there was a little blood. He knew that the wolf was only slightly injured.
Li Long was secretly admiring Halim's marksmanship - it was still dark, but he managed to hit the wolf in the forest based on the sound it made. How amazing!
The wild boar was still trying to push itself up the mountain before it died, but its blood had already flowed all over the ground and it had no strength left.
Li Long stepped forward, put his gun on his back and took a knife to drain the blood from the animal, then cut open its stomach.
The foul smell rushed out of his stomach, almost making Li Long faint. He took a look and felt a little disappointed. It was a male wild boar. Although it was not big, it was not as delicious as a female.
"Did you bring the plastic sheet?" Halimu asked from the side.
"Yes," Li Long said, "I'll drag it to the mountain pass. You go back and help me get the bicycle over there, and I'll carry the pig back directly."
"No hurry, at least we have to eat breakfast before we leave. We've been freezing for so long, let's go back and have some milk tea."
Li Long thought about milk tea and agreed.
He spread out the plastic sheet, carefully put the wild boar on it, wrapped it up, tied it up, and dragged it toward the mountain pass. Halimu followed behind, looking to both sides from time to time.
When they reached the mountain pass, Li Long looked around, found a spot on the roadside, buried the wild boar with snow, and said to Halim:
"Let's go back."
"Okay." The two men returned to their winter home. Li Long drank milk tea, ate naan, and chewed two pieces of jerky before saying goodbye and leaving.
Riding his bicycle to the mountain pass, Li Long was surprised to find that the wild boar had been torn apart by something. It was probably because the time was too short, so only the plastic sheet was torn and the wild boar was not eaten.
Is that the wolf?
Li Long looked around but didn't find anything. He picked up the wild boar with some confusion and put it on the back rack of the bicycle.
Working is really a training. In the past, he had difficulty lifting things weighing 40 kilograms, let alone 50 or 60 kilograms.
Now I don’t find it particularly difficult to hold this pig.
After tying up the wild boar and putting away the gun, Li Long mounted his bicycle and tapped the ground with his toes twice. The bicycle took advantage of the downhill slope and slid forward. He stepped on the pedals and started riding.
By the time the bicycle arrived at the county, Li Long was already sweating.
After returning to the courtyard and lighting the stove, Li Long finally had time to rest. He planned to sell the wild boar meat, so he had to skin it, which was a big job.
The wild boar's offal and intestines needed to be cleaned, and he was somewhat relieved that there was running water in the big house - it seemed that it was newly added before the New Year, which was quite convenient.
After thinking for a while, Li Long lit the stove, put on his clothes and went to the street. If he wanted to use these things, he had to pay for them first.
"Are you here to pay your water and electricity bills?" The street staff was a little surprised. "Which one?"
"He is the new owner of No. 68, the large courtyard where Old Ma lives." The person who was handling the paperwork for Li Long interrupted, "Old Ma's water and electricity bills should indeed be paid."
"But not many people come to pay their water and electricity bills on their own initiative. Come, let me calculate it for you..."
All in all, Li Long needs to pay 94 cents.
Well, it's really not expensive. I went home and boiled water to wash the drains. Once again, I was attacked by the gases in my organs. Li Long thought that he would never do this again.
Too much trouble!
Wang Caimi's intestines turned over so smoothly, why did it become like this when it came to me?
He dropped his work halfway through and went to skin the pig.
Fortunately, after peeling it a few times, I finally peeled off the pig skin with some difficulty, and then I could just take it apart.
He planned to go to the morning market tomorrow to see if he could sell the meat. If not, he would go to Shicheng.
Having a bicycle is really convenient.
After unloading the pigs, Li Long didn't want to move anymore. He lay on the bed until it was almost dark in the afternoon. He was so hungry that he got up and went to the big meat canteen. He ordered a bowl of fried pork noodles with two extra noodles.
At this time, adding more noodles is free - even if you add ten noodles, it is free. In his previous life, Li Long had only seen people adding seven noodles at most, and he was amazed by them.
He added one noodle, but two noodles were a bit too much. At this time, the fried meat dish was substantial, with large pieces of meat, soft and not hard. When eating, add two cloves of garlic, it was delicious.
After finishing the meal, Li Long took a sip of the noodle soup and rested for a few minutes. When he was about to leave, Zhong Guoqiang came over.
"Comrade Xiao Li, are you free now?"
"Yeah, I just finished my work."
"Are there any good things?" Zhong Guoqiang sat down opposite Li Long and asked with a smile.
"I just killed a wild boar, do you want one?"
"That's great. Give me ten kilograms of pork ribs and five kilograms of pork belly. Oh, and are you in the water?"
"Yes, I haven't finished cleaning yet." Li Long said.
"Then... bring them all to me, but they have to be cheap. It takes a lot of effort to pack these things."
"No problem!" Li Long said happily, "I'll carry it to you later?"
"Row."
This time, more than ten kilograms of meat were sold, and the offal was also sold. Li Long was very happy. He went out to unlock the door, rode his bicycle back to the big yard, cut the meat, and the offal had already frozen. He tied them together and put them on the back seat of the bicycle and delivered them to the big meat canteen.
When I came out, I had thirty more dollars in my pocket.
He hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought another roll of plastic sheeting before leaving get off work - this thing is a consumable and really doesn't last long.
The next morning, Li Long set up the stove and boiled water. He was too lazy to cook, so he went to the big meat canteen for breakfast. When he came back, he put the meat on a plastic sheet, picked up the scale and dragged the meat to the morning market.
There were more people in the morning market. Li Long took a look and saw that there were three shops selling fish, one selling meat, four or five selling grains, and quite a few selling miscellaneous items.
He just found a place to set it up, and soon someone came over to ask about it.
"Wild boar meat, one kilogram for one dollar and fifty cents." Li Long still offered the same price. "It was just caught yesterday. Do you want some?"
"Yes." The visitor agreed immediately, "Weigh me a piece of pork belly."
Li Long's voice was heard a lot, and soon a lot of people gathered here.
His remaining thirty kilograms of meat were sold out in less than half an hour!
Li Long was a little puzzled. What was going on?
When he was closing his stall, he found out that the lowest price for meat sold by other meat vendors was RMB !
"Prices have gone up these days, and we don't need tickets for our meat, so how can the price go up a bit?" A stall owner looked at Li Long and said angrily, "You sell it so cheaply, you're losing a lot of money!"
Only then did Li Long realize that the prices of things at the morning market had also increased.
