Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 441 Gross Weight 1500 Jin
Faced with the black wolf’s licking, the gray wolf did not dodge and allowed the other party to lick the blood and hair on the wound clean.
At this time, Yue Feng also took out the bandages, disinfectants and other trauma supplies he carried with him.
First, carefully clean the wound on the front half of Canglong’s body with disinfectant, then apply anti-inflammatory medicine, and wrap the injured area below the neck with a large amount of bandages.
The conditions on the mountain are limited, so this is the only way to deal with it temporarily. According to the severity of Canglong’s injuries, he must get stitches and then be given anti-inflammatory water after coming down the mountain.
To be conservative, it is estimated that it will take time to recover from such an injury without ten to twenty days of recuperation.
After simply treating the wound of the injured Canglong, Yue Feng checked the other dogs one by one.
Black Tiger’s injuries were also discovered and treated. The other dogs were fine and no obvious external injuries were found.
While Yue Feng was treating the dog’s injuries, Xiao Wu took out his knife and gutted the little boar that had caused the disaster.
After injuring the dog and accidentally ambushing a group of wild boars that came to their doorstep, Yue Feng met up with Xiao Tao and the others and had a brief discussion before deciding to end the battle today.
First send the injured dog down the mountain for treatment, and take the wild boar down with you. This will definitely be more than enough to complete the mission.
Just like that, Yue Feng fed all eight dogs of the dog gang on the mountain, then rushed to where the motorcycle was parked and rode it to the nearest Chaiji Road.
The four brothers went back and forth several times, put all the dead wild boars into snakeskin bags, tied them with ropes, and rode tricycles back to the village.
After finally counting this group of wild boars, there were quite a lot of them.
There was an old sow weighing more than 280 kilograms, three two-year-old pigs, two males and one female, weighing about 200 kilograms, and five spotted piglets that were born in the spring of that year and weighed 70 to 80 kilograms.
Including the old sow caught in the morning, the four members of the Yuefeng hunting team went up the mountain today and killed a total of ten wild boars, big and small.
If the weight of live pigs is included, the total weight reaches more than 1500 catties.
According to the principles agreed upon when the village recruited hunters to clear wild boars from the mountains, whoever kills the prey will own the property.
However, in order to count the final number of hunts, all prey must be sent to the village office to be weighed and summarized before being dealt with by the hunters.
Now that the policy has been relaxed and the weather is relatively hot, meat is difficult to store. We can also use the village’s loudspeaker to sell wild boar meat caught in the mountains to villagers.
Yue Feng was not very interested in the 300 yuan reward that his father-in-law applied for from the government, but it was related to the hunting team’s reputation in the village. He was Wang Jianguo’s brother-in-law, so he had to show his face.
So after several trips up and down the mountain, the yard outside the village office, under the trees, was filled with the prey that Yue Feng and his hunting team had brought back from the mountain today.
This time we went up the mountain, we didn’t get any pigs that were too big. Among the ten pigs, there were only two boars weighing over 200 pounds.
The rest are either sows or piglets from that year, all of which have relatively better meat quality.
Today is the first day of the village hunters’ Autumn Wind Operation. Wang Jianguo, the village accountant, and members of the village committee are all staying in the village office.
Hearing the noise outside, Wang Jianguo immediately came out.
“Xiao Feng! Did you guys hunt these wild boars today in the mountains?” Wang Jianguo asked with a smile when he saw the wild boars of all sizes lying under the shade of the trees.
Yue Feng nodded: “Yes! Let’s arrange for someone to weigh them! We will keep some of the meat from these piglets for ourselves, and I will send the rest to the canteen to exchange for money!
The old sow and wild boar meat here can be sold at a lower price! For the villagers in our own village, 40 cents per pound is enough!
I’ll have to trouble the village loudspeaker to help shout it out!”
“40 cents a pound?”
Wang Jianguo was slightly surprised when he heard the price Yue Feng asked for.
Nowadays, a pound of fat pork raised at home costs about 80 or 90 cents, and you need meat coupons!
It is appropriate to sell a big boar for 40 cents, but the actual market price of wild boar sow meat is much better than that of boar meat.
“Yes, it’s too hot to store anything, so I’ll just sell them out early! I’ll store the offal and leftovers in the freezer to feed the dog!”
After Yue Feng said this, Wang Jianguo also reacted.
The son-in-law is relatively thoughtful and came back at around 3:00 this afternoon. The days are long now and it doesn’t get dark until 6:30 in the evening, so a lot of things can be done during this time.
The daytime temperature is still above 20 or 30 degrees, so the meat cannot be stored for too long.
If you want the meat to not go bad, either soak it in running water or store it in the freezer.
The capacity of Yue Feng’s commercial freezer is limited, so it would be best to sell the more than 1,000 kilograms of live pig as soon as possible.
“Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to weigh the goods first. You guys bury the rack under the tree and prepare the meat first! Then I’ll go and shout for you using the loud speaker!”
Yue Feng nodded: “Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu, you guys stay here and watch, I’ll go take care of the dog first!
On the first day we went up the mountain, we did hit some animals, but the dog was also injured. I’ll go and take care of the wound first!”
“Is the dog seriously injured?” Wang Jianguo was a little nervous after hearing this. His brother-in-law’s dog is also his family’s property. This is not good news!
Yue Feng replied: “It needs stitches. It will be almost healed in half a month or twenty days!” “Okay, go and stitch the dog first, we’ll help you here!”
……
After a brief communication, everyone started working in an orderly manner.
Xiao Tao and the Zhang brothers, who were in charge of weighing, buried a few pine poles under a tree in the courtyard of the village office.
The guys were very skillful. They hung the fresh wild boar meat on poles according to different species and parts, skinned and deboned them, and waited for the villagers to come and buy after hearing the calls from the loudspeaker.
On the other side, Yue Feng rode a motorcycle with two dogs and a wild boar front leg, and went straight to the home of Wang Da Nao Tou, a barefoot doctor in the village.
Yue Feng could handle rough wound treatments himself, but for cases like Canglong’s, where many skin injuries required stitches, Yue Feng still trusted Wang Da Nao more.
The barefoot doctors of that era actually had very limited skills, but as the village was located at the foot of Changbai Mountain and there were hunters, there were naturally various injuries. Wang Da Nao’s practical ability was still good, at least better than Yue Feng.
Yue Feng came to him for help carrying a wild boar leg. Naturally, the other party readily agreed, took the wild boar meat from Yue Feng, carried the medicine box on his back, and came to Yue Feng’s hometown.
For the next hour or so, Yue Feng lent a hand and worked with Wang Da Nao to simply shave the wound and prepare the skin, and then carefully clean the wound again.
After confirming that the wound is clean, a suture needle is used to suture the wound again stitch by stitch.
It is worth mentioning that the two cubs, Canglong and Heihu, were extremely human-like. They knew that their master was looking for someone to heal their injuries, so they didn’t even use any anesthesia and just endured the pain to sew up their wounds.
After the wound was sutured and an anti-inflammatory drip was given, the dog’s injuries were treated after completing the whole process. All that was left was to change the dressing regularly and provide good food and drink.
After finishing everything, Yue Feng sent Wang Da Nao back home, and then walked to the small square of the village.
When Yue Feng arrived at the small square, he was shocked.
Wow, the small square which was only occupied by a few villagers watching the fun two hours ago is now busier than a big market. The villagers heard that the sow and boar meat is 45 cents per pound, so they all gathered at the village office to grind the meat.
As it was getting dark in the evening, the other hunting parties that had gone up the mountain also returned.
Everyone got some harvest, some got a few rabbits, pheasants and roe deer, and some got one or two wild boars. Only the Yuefeng hunting team brought back ten wild boars of all sizes on the first day they went up the mountain.
Wang Jianguo was maintaining order here. When he saw Yue Feng coming, he immediately shouted, “Xiao Feng, come here and I’ll assign you a job!”
“Ah? What’s wrong, uncle?” Yue Feng came closer.
Wang Jianguo pointed to the queue outside, where the three brothers Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu were almost throwing sparks in front of the meat hanging pole, and said, “From the looks of it, we’ll be busy until eight or nine tonight!
There are light bulbs and wires at home. Connect another light bulb from the village switch!”
“Oh, sure, I can do this job!”
“Go find Xiaona and ask her to find you some wires and light bulbs!”
“That’s it!”
……
Soon, Yue Feng walked into the house with ease and asked Wang Xiaona to find the spare wires and lamp holders for the home. Yue Feng stepped on the ladder to connect the wires, found a longer stick, and picked the bulb out from the wall of the village office.
Turn on the switch, the orange light bulb lights up, and the slightly dim night becomes brighter.
With the help of the new lighting, tasks such as cutting meat, weighing and calculating the accounts have become much easier. Yue Feng and the brothers Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu patiently served the villagers who were queuing up to cut meat.
Except for some bones and offal, most of the wild boar meat was sold.
After skinning and deboning the five piglets, about 180 kilograms of good meat came out. Yue Feng was reluctant to sell this part of the meat, so he cut some for his father-in-law’s family and kept the rest for the families of his brothers in the hunting team. None of the meat needed to be sent to the second canteen, and it was all consumed internally.
As for the wild boar bones and offal, they were all packed into bags and taken back to the new house and stuffed into the freezer. The bones were sent to the farm, and the offal was temporarily stored in the freezer.
There are eight dogs at home, and they will be able to digest most of the food in a few days.
At 8:40 in the evening, after finishing the last bit of finishing work, Yue Feng and his friends were about to go back to the old house to eat and divide the bill, but were stopped by Wang Jianguo.
“I’ll ask your aunt to prepare dinner for you. Let’s eat at my house tonight!” Wang Jianguo said calmly.
“Huh? It’s already half past eight? You haven’t eaten yet?” Yue Feng scratched his head, a little surprised.
“I have something to do. I told you to eat here, so eat here! Be obedient!”
“Oh!!” Yue Feng nodded in response.
The father-in-law called me, there must be a purpose, but I don’t know what he is up to. (End of this chapter)
