After experiencing a sudden attack, the two became more cautious. While paying attention to the surrounding movements, they began to drag the takin down the mountain.
But the rest of the journey was uneventful, and I didn't see any large prey worthy of taking action.
When they were about to go down the mountain, they saw Li Nongchang and Xu Sheng who were already waiting at the foot of the mountain.
"Not bad, we shot such a big takin again!"
Seeing the two men dragging such a large takin down the mountain, Xu Sheng was very excited with a smile on his face and immediately came up to meet them.
Such a big takin can be sold for at least a few hundred yuan.
"Okay."
After Li Shiqiang said casually, he looked at Li Nongchang and said, "Here, old man, help me carry the takin up and go home."
"I want it."
Zhang Baoshan was suddenly startled when he heard the conversation between father and son. He subconsciously looked up at the sky and asked hurriedly: "Going home!? Are we going back now?"
"What's going on? You still want to have fun?" Li Shiqiang turned to look at him and said with a slight smile.
"Isn't it only noon? We can hunt a few more wild boars and bring them back in the afternoon!" Zhang Baoshan first glanced at the sky, then looked back at the mountains behind him, and said with a hint of reluctance.
"No!"
Li Shiqiang shook his head and looked towards the cattle driveway: "This cattle cart can't be loaded anymore. It's time to go back and rest after staying in the mountains for so long. If you haven't had enough, just come back next time."
"Fine."
Perhaps because he heard that he could come next time, Zhang Baoshan agreed after hesitating for a while.
"Then come and help move it, this takin is very heavy!"
.......
When the loaded oxcart rushed back to Jinsha Village, it was seen by many villagers along the way, and one or two came up to say hello.
"Yeah, where did Li Paitou go to get so much meat back?"
"Li Paitou, your family's life is really getting better and better. I brought back so much meat today, I'm afraid I won't have to eat it until the Chinese New Year!"
...
Listening to the villagers' warm greetings, Li Nongchang nodded with a smile on his face and said, "I'll bring two kilograms of meat back to my house to eat later."
Although the meat is intended to be transported to the county town for sale, as long as a villager encounters it, they still share some of the meat according to the rules.
"Then I'm welcome."
Li Shiqiang didn't care about the meat. Anyway, the few wild boars on the ox cart plus the takin already weighed thousands of kilograms of meat.
After returning home, several people immediately started to boil water and use knives to disembowel the wild boars and takin, skin them and divide the meat.
While Chen Xianglan was busy with her work with a smile on her face, she also shouted enthusiastically: "Zhang Wazi, please rest with us tonight and have a meal together."
"Gotta get it, gotta get it."
Zhang Baoshan was making moves next to Li Shiqiang. After hearing what he said, he agreed without any hesitation.
At this time, Li Shiqiang looked at him and asked: "Will you go with us to transport meat and get money tomorrow? Or will I come back and give it to you?"
"Just come back and bring it to me." Zhang Baoshan said casually with a slight smile on his face, as if the most important thing in his eyes was not the money, but being able to go hunting with him.
"Okay, then when we come back tomorrow, we will go to the commune to give you some money."
Zhang Baoshan nodded and reminded: "If you want to go into the mountains next time, remember to call me!"
"knew."
Taking advantage of the fact that there was a lot of extra meat at home, the Li family specially cooked a little more meat tonight to reward Li Shiqiang and the three of them.
This was also the first time Li Shiqiang and the others had hot meals since they came down from the mountain.
The fragrant rice was paired with the wild boar meat that they shot themselves. The three of them ate at the table and couldn't help but forget to leave.
Li Nongchang also took advantage of this mood and deliberately took out the liquor that he was usually reluctant to drink.
After all, the family now has enough money to build a house, and every penny earned in the future will belong to the Li family, which makes him happy from the bottom of his heart.
At the wine table, Li Nongchang picked up his wine glass and said to Xu Sheng, "Sheng Wazi, I guess it's time to build a house for you after our house is built."
"hey-hey."
Xu Sheng smiled innocently, and happily picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
In the month since he followed Li Shiqiang into the mountains for hunting, he has saved nearly 500 yuan. When the Li family's house is built in the second half of the year, he will be able to save at least 1,000 yuan. By then he will be able to build himself a two or three-room blue-tiled house.
After everyone finished eating, Li Shiqiang boiled some hot water and washed briefly, then took Zhang Baoshan into the house and prepared to rest.
Although it was only around eight o'clock in the evening, in order to deliver the wild boar and antelope meat to the county as early as possible, I had no choice but to go to bed and get up early.
However, Zhang Baoshan, who had just entered the house, heard a humming sound in the house.
"Brother Li, what else is there in your house?"
Because it was getting dark and there was no kerosene lamp in the house, Zhang Baoshan hadn't even seen the red panda in the house.
"Nothing, I just raised three puppies."
Li Shiqiang smiled and didn't bother to tell him the truth.
The next morning, before dawn and the moon was hanging high above his head, Li Shiqiang woke up the sleeping Zhang Baoshan.
"Brother Zhang, wake up, it's time for us to set off."
"Well, okay, I'll take it."
Although Zhang Baoshan did not go to the county seat, he could still take an ox cart to the commune first.
At this point, among the Li family who woke up so quickly, apart from the two of them, there was also Chen Xianglan who got up early to cook.
This morning, Chen Xianglan specially cooked a large pot of noodles for the two of them to fill their bellies.
After a while, Xu Sheng also came to Li's house and ate noodles together.
After the three of them finished eating, they were ready to drive the cattle cart down the mountain to the county seat.
However, before leaving, Chen Xianglan found an opportunity to approach Li Shiqiang and warned: "This time you and Sheng Wazi will go to the county seat. After selling the meat, you will come back as soon as possible. You are not allowed to spend money randomly, you know?"
"I know, I'll be back when the sales are finished."
Li Shiqiang nodded helplessly, and finally agreed.
However, just when he was about to turn around and leave, Chen Xianglan suddenly remembered something and said: "If you come across some suitable three major items, you can also spend money to buy them. Now the house on the top of the house is not bad. , all that’s missing is your sister Yun’s marriage.”
Three big items! ?
Li Shiqiang didn't say anything after hearing this, and nodded directly in agreement: "Okay, I will buy it when I see something suitable."
Nowadays, the three major items are the classic betrothal gifts for weddings, and they are also very difficult to buy outside. It is hard to get a single ticket.
Naturally, the Li family couldn't get those tickets at all, so they could only try their luck on the black market to see if anyone was selling them.
