The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 728 The fifth treasure among beasts - pig sand

This year, the living standard of the Zhao family has been getting higher and higher, the deposits of the Zhao family have been increasing, and the smiles on the faces of Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan and the two little girls have become brighter and brighter.

Only Zhao Youcai, over the past year, his personal savings have become less and less, and the number of times he beat his son has become less and less.

All these made Zhao Youcai very upset.

At this moment, he couldn't help but picked up the wine glass, raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Then Zhao Youcai put the wine glass on the table and reached for the rice spoon to serve the rice.

But the moment his hand touched the rice spoon, Wang Meilan at the side called him, "You have money."

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai turned to look at Wang Meilan, and saw Wang Meilan cross her legs, smiled at him and said, "I'll discuss something with you."

"I don't have any money anymore! That's all for you!" blurted out a sentence, and Zhao Youcai let go of his hand touching the rice spoon.

If you don't eat this meal, you can no longer take money out.

"Put rice, let's eat!" Wang Meilan reached out to take the rice spoon, and took the rice bowl from Zhao Youcai's hand with the other hand.

Wang Meilan turned over the rice spoon, dunked the rice into the bowl, then pressed the rice spoon twice, and then gave Zhao Youcai another spoonful.

"Eat." Wang Meilan brought the rice bowl to Zhao Youcai, and said with a smile, "Eat, eat more vegetables."

Zhao Youcai did not dare to move his chopsticks, but said to Wang Meilan, "If you have anything to do, tell me quickly."

Just as Wang Meilan was about to speak, two little girls came from the west room. Zhao Na, holding the little lynx in her arms, stood under the kang and said to Wang Meilan, "Mom, I'm sleepy."

"Old girl." Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Na and said, "Father only has this meal, and I'll finish eating after two bites, and I'll give you the quilt after eating."

"Other things." Wang Meilan stretched out her hand to stop her, and said to Zhao Youcai, "You move the table to another room, you eat slowly, and we can talk about something later."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

……

More than ten minutes later, Zhao Youcai was on the kang in the west room of Zhao Jun's house, smoking leaf cigarettes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Wang Meilan came in from the door, walked quickly to the edge of the kang and sat down, smiled and reached out to pat Zhao Youcai's knee.

When Zhao Youcai looked at her, Wang Meilan smiled and said, "I have something to tell you."

"Tell me." Zhao Youcai put out the cigarette butt, with a very serious expression on his face, as if he was generous and righteous!
At this time, Wang Meilan said: "Go to class tomorrow and ask to see who has piglets. Let's buy two."

"What?" Zhao Youcai, who thought Wang Meilan was going to extort his money again, was taken aback, and asked in disbelief, "What do you want to buy?"

Zhao Youcai couldn't believe his ears, even if Wang Meilan said he wanted to buy a donkey, Zhao Youcai would not do that.

But something is wrong with buying pigs. Your family sells wild boars day after day. What’s the matter with buying pigs now?

"Pig lambs!" Wang Meilan thought that Zhao Youcai hadn't heard clearly, so she repeated it immediately, and explained: "Just buy two, both are male or both are female."

"What are you doing with that thing..." Zhao Youcai said halfway through, when he suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "What do we spend that money on? If you want to raise pigs, I'll go up the mountain and catch them for you."

Hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Wang Meilan was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Don't talk about it, this is fine!"

As soon as Wang Meilan let go, Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up, he moved his buttocks in front of Wang Meilan, raised his hand and said to Wang Meilan, "Lan, those dogs in our family catch about [-] catties of cannon eggs, and they all hold them in their hands." Pinch it. Just tell me how big you want it, and then I will lead the dog up the mountain and catch it for you."

The small calculations in Zhao Youcai's heart were ping-pong, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Meilan said: "Don't be so big, you have to be able to catch it. It took a lot of money for me to catch two."

"What?" Zhao Youcai froze on the spot when he heard the words.

Wang Meilan is talking about Huabangzi, which refers to the state of wild boars with light brown fur and black stripes when they were young.

After the little wild boar grows for more than three months, the stripes on the body will become lighter, and the coat color will gradually become uniform.So what Wang Meilan was talking about was a baby boar less than four months old.

Mountain runners can often pick up such a big wild boar.In the spring of this year, Zhao Youcai's good brother Zhang Lifu even picked up two, but he fed soybeans and poured cold water to death.

Just like Zhang Lifu picking up small flower sticks in the spring, there is no such a big little wild boar right now!
The wild boar circles before and after the light snow of the 24 solar terms, and then the female wild boar is pregnant for four months and gives birth.

Therefore, only at the beginning of spring every year can we see the little flower sticks.

But now at this time, even if Zhao Youcai took eight hundred dogs and scratched all over the mountain, he still couldn't find the little bastard.

But Wang Meilan was not in a hurry, she got up from the kang after she finished speaking, and said: "Then wait for the spring, when the time comes, no matter if you go up the mountain to catch it, or how to fix it, just get me the two."

After finishing speaking, Wang Meilan waved her hand and said: "Don't just sit here, the kang is not burning today, if it doesn't heat up, let's go back to sleep."

Zhao Jun is not at home today, and the Westinghouse is unoccupied.At noon, Wang Meilan burned the kang of the house with firewood, and then asked the two little girls to play on the kang.

At this time, the heat is almost gone, and when the kang cools down again, it's time to pull people out.

"Lan!" Wang Meilan was in no hurry, Zhao Youcai was in no hurry.Seeing that Wang Meilan was about to leave, he hurriedly called to Wang Meilan and said, "What do you want to do with sticks? Can't you be a slut?"

Recently, Zhao Youcai's unit has received two orders, which must be delivered before New Year's Day.It would be great if I could take this opportunity to go up the mountain to complete the order.

But if you can only go up the mountain when you catch the little flower stick, Zhao Youcai can wait, and Liu Hanshan and Hong Yuntao can't do it either!

Moreover, Zhao Youcai wanted to complete the two orders as soon as possible, and strive to make a name for himself in the shortest possible time, and then accept the order, so as to fill the shortfall in his small coffers as soon as possible.

"No!" Facing Zhao Youcai's question, Wang Meilan replied very simply: "You have to have a baby stick, and it's better not to be weaned! Take it back and raise it for me since childhood."

Zhao Youcai was confused when he heard Wang Meilan's words. He frowned and looked at Wang Meilan, and asked, "No? What are you going to do?"

No wonder Zhao Youcai murmured in his heart, you, Wang Meilan, are happy to kill pigs, so it would be nice to catch little yellow hairs or sink in the next year.Roast suckling pig, I have never heard of roasting a small wild boar.

Asked by Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan showed a smile on her face, and then said: "My son is not at home, so I told you."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Hearing this, Zhao Youcai felt so angry!
But Wang Meilan said to herself, "Today I went to Aunt Jiang's house, and I thought to see if I could buy cotton trousers for her in a few days."

"I don't care about that." Zhao Youcai stretched out his hand, patted Wang Meilan twice, and said, "You pick what is useful."

"Hey!" Wang Meilan responded, and then continued: "The old lady saw that I was gone, and handed me a piece of paper!"

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was shocked for a moment. The old lady gave Zhao Jun a pamphlet, which made Zhao Jun find Lao Yanzi and made a lot of money from it. Zhao Youcai also made a fortune along with it.

Although Zhao Youcai didn't keep that money, in the coming year, wouldn't he still be able to make a fortune in the old village?
At this time, after hearing Wang Meilan say that the old lady gave something again, Zhao Youcai suddenly became interested!

Wang Meilan said: "I opened it and took a look, there is a formula written on it."

"Fang'er..." Zhao Youcai let out a sigh of relief when he heard this.

It is said that folk remedies cure all diseases.

But these days, there are a lot of folk remedies in the village!
Zhao Youcai thought that Wang Meilan was getting some kind of prescription for seeing a doctor, and that something related to the little flower stick was needed to be used as medicine.

But Zhao Youcai thought about it again, what Wang Meilan said was that she would keep the little flower stick after she got it back.

At this time, Zhao Youcai was a little puzzled.I thought to myself, is it possible that wild boar excrement is needed here?The reason for choosing a small flower stick is nothing more than that the pig is easy to manage when it is small, but it is not easy to serve when it is big.

Then, Zhao Youcai thought of something.He remembered hearing the elders say that boy's urine can ward off evil spirits. Could it be that boy's pig urine can be used as medicine?

Just when Zhao Youcai was thinking wildly, Wang Meilan lowered her voice, and said to Zhao Youcai mysteriously, "I'll open it and have a look..."

Speaking of this, Wang Meilan elongated her voice for a while, creating suspense, and then continued: "The writing on it is all in traditional Chinese characters."

The corner of Zhao Youcai's mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "Aren't those left by the older generation all in traditional characters?"

"Listen to me!" Wang Meilan was a little unhappy that Mr. Zhao Youcai interrupted her, she shook her hand and said, "I didn't understand it after looking at it, but the old lady told us that this recipe is prepared for pigs to eat of."

"For pigs?" Zhao Youcai couldn't hold back even if he didn't want to interrupt, and said directly: "Can pigs talk after eating?"

"After eating... you go to the other side!" Wang Meilan was furious, she shook her hands and twisted her body and was about to fall off the kang, and said in her mouth, "I won't tell you anything from now on!"

"Hey! Hey!" Zhao Youcai was in a bad mood, and quickly stopped Wang Meilan and said, "Lan, don't be angry, I won't disturb you, you say, you say."

"Look at you!" Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai, and said angrily, "Who did you learn from (xiáo)? Talking with such a black mouth?"

After Wang Meilan finished speaking, she saw Zhao Youcai looking directly at her.

Wang Meilan rolled her eyes twice, reached out her hand to gesture to Zhao Youcai, changed the subject directly, and said, "Aunt Jiang told me, according to the formula, feed it to pigs. Pigs can grow pig litter?"

"Cinnabar?" Zhao Youcai was startled, and blurted out, "Is it used by old Taoists?"

"What kind of old man?" Wang Meilan stared at Zhao Youcai, and said, "You don't understand anything. Pig sand, it grows in that pig's belly (dǔ) pot. The red and fresh ones are medicinal materials."

As soon as Wang Meilan said this, Zhao Youcai's eyes straightened instantly, he knew what Wang Meilan was talking about!

Wang Meilan didn't know what was going on, she saw Zhao Youcai in a daze, she just thought that Zhao Youcai didn't know what pig sand was, and she was at a loss.

So, Wang Meilan raised her hand and patted Zhao Youcai's face twice.

"Crack! Crack!"

With two crisp sounds, Zhao Youcai was shocked and felt numbness on his face.

He glanced at Wang Meilan, but before Zhao Youcai could speak, he heard Wang Meilan say, "That stuff is worth my money!"

"Ah!" Zhao Youcai seemed to be thinking about something, unconsciously blinked a few times, and then asked Wang Meilan, "What's wrong? You can feed pig litter out of it?"

"Yes!" Wang Meilan said without thinking, "Isn't Aunt Jiang giving me Fang?"

When she said this, Wang Meilan's chin tilted outwards, and she gave Zhao Youcai a confident look from the side of her eyes, before continuing: "Aunt Jiang told me that her father was in the door backwards, and her grandma's family is rich."

Then, Wang Meilan added, "It's like the front of my house!"

"Ah..." Zhao Youcai didn't interrupt this time, and listened carefully to Wang Meilan's words: "At that time, her grandma's family only raised two big fat pigs, and they all weigh four to five hundred catties!"

Wang Meilan swears unknowingly, the grandma's house she mentioned is her grandma's house.How old is Jiang Liu?When was her grandma?
At that time, people couldn't eat Liuer, and they could raise four to five hundred catties for pigs, what kind of family was it?
Wang Meilan continued: "We villagers work until it is dark and the moon is shining. Aunt Jiang said, before next night, I will feed the pigs the evening meal. Does her father feed the pigs? Follow her father and watch her father caress (mā) caress (sa) the pig with his hands down."

As she spoke, Wang Meilan stretched out her hand involuntarily, and touched Zhao Youcai's shoulder.

When Wang Meilan touched his elbow, Zhao Youcai reacted. He raised his arm and shook off Wang Meilan's hand.

But at this time, Wang Meilan said: "That pig is crackling, sparks are flying!"

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai felt mysterious, but suddenly remembered something, and said, "Isn't that electrification?"

"Listen to me!" Wang Meilan raised her hand, slapped Zhao Youcai lightly, and then said, "Aunt Jiang said that the pig didn't eat much at that time, and even ate tiles and bowls when it was done. Later Once the pig is slaughtered, the belly (dǔ) will be full of pig dust!"

"Ah!" Zhao Youcai came to his senses, his eyes widened and he asked Wang Meilan, "The reason they feed pigs is to produce pig litter?"

Hearing Zhao Youcai's question, Wang Meilan twitched the corner of her mouth, nodded her head twice, and then said, "Why don't you say her family is rich? But let me tell you, his family is not as good as my old man's. Then my father …Every year with this work, the horses are sold out, and it’s time to harvest the grain.”

"Yes, yes." When mentioning his old man's pole, Zhao Youcai didn't dare to make mistakes, and repeatedly echoed: "How powerful is your old man? That's the famous Wang Da slap!"

"I'll give you a slap!" Wang Meilan raised her hand and hit Zhao Youcai upon hearing that, Zhao Youcai hurriedly reached out to stop her, and said with a smile, "Lan, I didn't say anything, I said my father is good!"

The old man of Wang Meilan's family is a kind person. The big guys call him Wang Dashang, which means that this old man is loose in his hands, that is, he is kind and generous, and likes to give things to others.

Zhao Youcai coaxed Wang Meilan, and immediately asked, "Lan, where is Fang? Show me."

"What are you showing me?" Wang Meilan smiled and raised her chin at Zhao Youcai, and said, "Don't worry about anything else, just catch pigs when the time comes. If our family has made money, can we still lose money to you?"

……

When the couple were discussing their plans to make a fortune, they were far away at Huang Gui's home in Qiaotou Village, Lingnan.

There are still a bunch of Jiu Mengzi in this room!

At this time, Huang Gui, Jiang Weifeng, Zhang Yuanmin, and Xie Chen were still drinking.Zhao Jun, who had finished eating a long time ago, was biting the grape skin and playing with his teeth there.

The four chattered about Che Zhilu, and finally talked about the battle this morning.

Speaking of today's battle, Huang Gui praised Zhao Jun's dog, Zhang Yuanmin echoed it, and began to regret that he should have taken the pig hook.

Huang Gui and Jiang Weifeng had never caught a live wild boar, so they didn't feel much about what Zhang Yuanmin said.At this time, Huang Gui looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Brother, I saw the scab marks on the cannon egg today!"

"I saw it too!" Zhao Jun responded, and said, "Before I went down the mountain, I found it and put it in a nest under the root of a pine tree!"

Although there are gangs of dogs and pigs walking in the snow, Zhao Jun and Huang Gui are both gunner-level hunters, and their experience in siege is extremely rich.

Before watching the hunting dogs unload the goods, the two of them knew what prey was ahead, how much it was, and the weight of a single individual could be roughly estimated.

"I feel like it weighs seven hundred catties!" Huang Gui pinched his hands together and gestured, "The hoof scab must be this big."

"Brother!" Jiang Weifeng glanced at it, and said, "You're gesticulating this, isn't it seven hundred catties?"

"Xuexuanhu." Huang Gui glanced at Jiang Weifeng, answered briefly, and then looked at Zhao Jun.

The snow was soft, and the hoof marks left by wild beasts on the snow were relatively small.

"Yeah!" Zhao Jun nodded, and said in agreement, "It must be seven hundred catties. I see it lying in the nest, so it must be there."

Hearing that Zhao Jun agreed with his statement, Huang Gui heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said, "Brother, I can probably guess where this wild boar is going. Why don't we fight again tomorrow?"

"Brother Huang!" Zhang Yuanmin suddenly interjected, and said, "Why do we have to crack those egg eggs? It's so coquettish, there is no meat to eat! Let me tell you, let's catch a yellow-haired, old mother tomorrow." Pigs or something, come back to kill pigs and eat pig dishes!"

As soon as Zhang Yuanmin said this, Jiang Weifeng and Song Lan, Guofu, and Minqiang who were listening to the excitement in the outside room all licked their lips involuntarily.

But Huang Gui said: "Brother Zhang, such a big cannon egg may produce pig sand!"

"Yo!" Hearing this, Zhang Yuanmin was taken aback, but Xie Chen was at a loss.And Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up!
