Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chapter 99: Is this wolf going to fight?

Soon someone came over to ask about the price of meat, and Li Long said:

"One dollar and a half a kilogram. This is wild boar meat."

Wild boar meat is cheaper than domestic pork, and he mainly wants to ship it out quickly.

"Is it really wild boar meat?" The person asking the price was a middle-aged woman, a little skeptical.

"Really." Li Long said with a smile, "Anyway, it's okay for you to eat it like pork."

"Then weigh me two kilos - I want pork belly."

Nowadays people like to eat fatty meat, so Li Long just chopped a piece for her and weighed it, which was four and a half kilograms. The woman didn't mind it, paid six yuan and seventy cents, and left with the meat.

The fishmonger next to him was quite envious, because he might not even make six dollars even if he sold several fish.

"I heard that there are joint defense team members who will investigate. Is it true?" Li Long asked when he saw that no one was around.

The stall owner waved his hand:
"There were checks before the New Year, but no one checked after the New Year. Haven't you seen that more and more people come here to sell things? The policy has been relaxed, otherwise who would dare to come?"

Li Long knew that the policy had indeed been relaxed, but every policy has its own countermeasures, and it depended on how it was implemented.

After waiting here for half an hour, the more than 20 kilograms of pork belly that I brought were all sold out, and two pork legs were also sold, but only two kilograms of ribs were sold.

Li Long looked at the more than ten kilograms of ribs and two pork legs left on the plastic sheet and thought to himself that it was a good thing that he didn't pull all the meat here. If he had, most of it would have had to be pulled back later.

"Little brother, how about I exchange my fish for your meat? One and a half kilograms of fish for one kilogram of meat - half of your ribs are bones, you are getting a good deal." said the fish stall owner.

"No." Li Long waved his hand, "I have enough fish to eat."

"How about I exchange two kilograms for your one kilogram?" The stall owner also wanted to eat meat as he was tired of eating fish every day.

Besides, there is not much oil in the fish meat, so it is not as delicious as the big slices of fatty meat!

"No." Li Long glanced at the fish on the other side's stall and shook his head. It wasn't as pretty as the fish in the small lake, and it didn't look fat.

One of the main reasons why the fish in the small lake are popular is that they are beautiful and fat. There are many reeds growing in the small lake, so the fish have something to eat. Now, although the fish in most reservoirs are also wild and grow naturally, there are no plants in the reservoirs, so the fish can only eat floating things, which makes them skinny and not beautiful.

As the sky gradually brightened, the number of stalls gradually decreased, but there were still about a dozen. The number of people shopping here did not decrease, and even showed an increasing trend.

Li Long began to believe that the policy had indeed been relaxed and no one would come to arrest people, otherwise the business would have been broken up by now when the sun was about to rise.

From now on, this will no longer be a black market, but a morning market.

After selling for a while, Li Long managed to sell four or five kilograms of ribs. Seeing that there were fewer people coming, he simply closed the stall and planned to have breakfast.

I got up too early in the morning, didn't eat anything, and squatted here for almost an hour. I felt frozen all over.

Seeing Li Long wrapping the wild boar meat in plastic and tying it up and preparing to leave, the fishmonger got a little anxious:

"Little brother, how about I give you one kilogram of meat in exchange for three kilograms of fish?"

"No." Li Long waved his hand. "I don't lack fish at home. I also have a reservoir there."

"Okay, I'll buy two kilograms of ribs." The stall owner had no choice but to take out a roll of wrinkled money, "One kilogram..."

"I'll give you 1.2 yuan." Li Long said, "How about that? Is that good enough?"

When other stall owners heard that Li Long's ribs were sold to the stall owner for 1.2 yuan, they immediately gathered around him. Some offered three kilograms, some offered five kilograms, and it took them a short while to weigh out all his ribs.

This was a pleasant surprise. Li Long dragged the remaining two pork legs to the big meat canteen.

Zhong Guoqiang was not there, so Li Long carried the pork leg in. There were not many people eating at that time, so he ordered four buns, poured a bowl of tea, and started eating.

After finishing his meal, Li Long carried the pork legs out of the cafeteria and returned to the old house. He put the remaining meat and the two pork legs on his bicycle, hung the scale in front, and rode to the purchasing station first.

Chen Hongjun happened to be there, so Li Long took in a basket of pork belly:

"Comrade Chen, this is the wild boar meat that I promised you."

Chen Hongjun was so happy that he said with a smile:
"I thought you forgot. By the way, how much is the meat?" "Don't mention money. I'm giving it to you as a gift." Li Long said and turned to walk out. "I'm in a hurry to go to Shicheng to sell meat, so I won't say more."

Chen Hongjun rushed out carrying the meat and saw that Li Long had already ridden away on his bicycle. He smiled and shook his head.

This Xiao Li is really interesting.

Bicycles are fast, and in less than an hour, he arrived at Shicheng Old Street.

What surprised Li Long was that there were more vendors in the old street. In addition to those selling melon seeds and peanuts, there were also many selling local specialties. There were also two or three selling fish. Just like himself before, they walked among the tourists, dragging their bags.

You can't set up stalls here. The management staff will drive you away, but they won't take your stuff away.

So Li Long started pushing his bicycle and hawking:
"Wild boar meat, fresh wild boar meat, one dollar and a half per kilogram, pork belly, spare ribs, pork leg, come and try it!"

Li Long's shout immediately attracted a lot of people. After all, most people have eaten domestic pork, but few have tried wild boar meat.

A middle-aged man wearing a green military coat and carrying a briefcase came over and asked:
"Comrade, is this really wild boar meat?"

"Of course." Li Long knew that someone was suspicious. He had a wild boar head rolled up in his bag, so he took it out and showed it to the man:
"See? This was just hunted yesterday and skinned. Domestic pigs don't need to be skinned..."

"It looks really good... Can it be cheaper? If it's cheaper, I'll take a leg." The man felt that Li Long's meat was quite reliable, so he asked, "Can it be cheaper?"

"It's already quite cheap. This is wild boar meat. I sell it cheaper than domestic pork, and I don't even need a meat ticket..." Li Long smiled bitterly, "I just earned my hard-earned money, and I lost two bullets."

"Okay, just because you're honest, I want a leg." The middle-aged man took out the money and said, "Please pay more on the scale."

"Don't worry, the scale is high."

One leg weighed 12.4 kilograms, and Li Long calculated it based on 12 kilograms. The other party paid 18 yuan. Li Long tied a handle for him with thin wire, and the middle-aged man carried it away happily.

After the first person made a purchase, the business became much smoother. Customers from all over the country wanted to take some local specialties with them and thought that the wild boar meat looked and sounded good, so Li Long sold out the meat in less than two hours.

Only one woman grumbled:
"This meat... is a little lean, not fat enough."

Li Long said:
"They can't be compared with domestic pigs. After all, they are wild."

After selling the meat, Li Long rode his bike back home, more determined to pursue a hunting life in the future.

Once this policy is relaxed, people will be able to hunt and sell game every now and then. Wouldn't that be more delicious than farming?

The two wild boars brought Li Long an income of more than 120 yuan and a sewing machine.

Beautiful!
Li Long went back to the big house to rest, planning to continue into the mountains the next day.

Halimu was still chopping wood, which made Li Long a little confused. Do they need so much wood?

Moreover, he chopped the wood into pieces two or three meters long. Was he doing this to build a house?
Li Long didn't ask. As soon as he arrived, Halimu took him to another place in the east where animals often moved around.

"There are snow chickens here, in groups." Halimu said as he walked, "Occasionally there will be roe deer, and sometimes wild goats will come down."

"Wild goats?" Li Long was a little surprised. Are there really wild goats?
"It's the kind with long horns, not the kind with rounded horns..." Halimu explained.

Oh, it’s a ibex!
These animals, which are very dangerous in later generations, actually live in groups in this area now.

"In the spring, they go to higher mountains and only come down at this time. Snow chickens are very thin and not as tasty as domestic chickens."

Well, comparing snow chickens with domestic chickens, Li Long was speechless.

This thing is actually a kind of pheasant - pheasant, which is in the same family as pheasant.

But in addition to being edible, snow chickens also have extremely high medicinal value. At least that's what ordinary people say. It is said that snow chicken claws can cure rheumatoid arthritis, and that snow chicken meat can enhance sexual function.

As the two walked, Li Long stopped first.

He grabbed the gun on his back - Li Long, saw the wolf!
