With the spiritual spring space, rebirth in the red era
Chapter 8 Selling Wolf Meat and Buying Sweet Potatoes
In the main room, the big gray wolf was hung from the beam.
Battle holds a sharp knife to skin the wolf, Ma Wu stands by and does odd jobs for him, and Xue Ming works hard to learn their craft.
Two hours later, the complete wolf skin was peeled off, and Barter used a professional scraper to scrape off the remaining fat on the wolf skin.This can prevent the growth of bacteria. Bacteria-free wolf skins will not rot and can be stored for hundreds of years.
Ma Wu and Xue Ming weighed the skinned wolf on a steel scale together. The skinned wolf weighed 80 kilograms. Ma Wu smiled and snapped his fingers, "Brother, 80 kilograms of wolf meat is exactly 24 yuan."
Battle put down the knife in his hand, "I only have 10 yuan in cash. Can I pay the remaining 14 yuan with cloth?"
10 yuan can buy 50 kilograms of corn, enough to last for a while. Xue Ming nodded, "Yes, yes, but you have to give me two feet of cloth."
Battle waved his hand, "Don't take advantage of me. Can I help you rub the wolf skin for free?"
Ma Wu said with a smile, "Kneading a wolf-skin bobbin is exhausting. If it weren't for future cooperation, if you wanted to knead the wolf-skin bobbin, you would have to pay at least 5 yuan in processing fees, so just take advantage, brother."
"Okay." Xue Ming also felt that he had taken advantage. In his previous life, he had seen a video of rubbing wolf skin, and the whole process was indeed very cumbersome.
A foot of fabric with a width of 1.5 meters costs 1.4 yuan. 14 yuan buys exactly one foot of cloth, which should be enough to make a new set of clothes for everyone in the family.
Ma Wu went back to the house to get a ruler for Xue Ming to check. One ruler was about 33.4 centimeters. Xue Ming thought it was about the same. "I believe everyone is an honest person."
"Okay, cool!" Ma Wu used a ruler to measure 10 feet of cloth, tore it off with scissors, folded it into four squares and gave it to Xue Ming for safekeeping.
Battelle took out 10 red one-yuan bills and gave them to Xue Ming. The transaction was basically over and all he had to do was to have Battelle knead the wolf skin into a wolf skin tube.
Ma Wu used a butcher's knife to disembowel the wolf, took out the wolf's guts, chopped off its head and two hind legs, and packed the wolf meat and guts into sacks. "Brother, I'm going to the town to sell meat." .”
"Go and be safe!" Battle continued to scrape the wolf's skin while Ma Wu carried the sack to sell meat in Guangming Town.
After scraping, Battle lit a cigarette and said, "From now on, if you hunt big guys like wolves, deer, and wild boars, come to me. My price will definitely be higher than what the supply and marketing cooperative offers."
"Yes, happy cooperation." Xue Ming shook hands with him. If nothing else, there will be better sales for his future prey.
Battelle patted his chest and said, "You can come to me for any goods you want. I can get them for you except airplanes. Bicycles, watches, and sewing machines are all no problem."
This sounds crazy, but Xue Ming really wants a lot of things, "Can you get me a big iron pot with a diameter of 50 centimeters first?"
"Diameter? Are you talking about the 4-print pot?" Battelle didn't understand the diameter, so he held a circle with both hands to compare the size of the pot.
Xue Ming also didn’t understand what a 4-print pot was. “It’s about this big. The clay pot at home can only cook porridge but not stir-fry.”
"It's a bit difficult, brother." Battelle shook his head, "To buy an iron pot from the supply and marketing cooperative, you need an iron pot ticket plus 5 yuan. The steel now is genuine and in short supply."
"Is there anything that is not in short supply these days?" Xue Ming knew that steel was in short supply, otherwise there would not have been a nationwide steelmaking movement.
Battle handed Xue Ming a cigarette, took out a match and lit it for the boss, "Give me 10 yuan and I'll get you an old one."
Xue Ming thought of the iron mines in space and came up with the idea of smelting iron. Now his home is short of hammers, pots and other ironware, and the only kitchen knife is rotten with a gap. "Does Big Brother know how to smelt iron?"
"Then who knows?" Battelle puffed. "The Tieshan Commune in the north of the county is full of iron-making furnaces. You will know after you go and study it. But do you have the iron ore needed for iron-making?"
Without waiting for Xue Ming's reply, Battelle added, "If you have iron ore, don't even think about making iron. Just find a blacksmith and give him the iron ore so that he can make iron for you."
As the saying goes, there are three hardships in life: punting a boat and grinding iron to grind tofu. Xue Ming thinks his words make sense, "I just said that casually, there is no iron ore in my village."
After smoking, Battle held up the wolf's skin, used a dagger to take out the wolf's brains, put them in an aluminum basin, and added hot water to make a tanning preparation.
The water on the coal stove was already boiling. He put the male wolf's head and two wolf legs in the pot and boiled it, then evenly applied the tanning agent to the wolf's skin.
His technique was very skillful, and Xue Ming couldn't help but want to praise him. His skills in kneading fur were really awesome.
After the wolf skin has absorbed the tanning agent, Battle takes out the wolf head and legs from the pot and uses a knife to remove the minced meat.
He took out a hacksaw and carefully cut off two wolf teeth, which are said to ward off evil spirits.He also sawed off two wolf patella bones. It is said that wearing them on the body can attract firewood and bring treasures, and he will win in gambling.
Xue Ming became interested, "How much can the wolf teeth and wolf femoral bones be sold for?"
"It's not as expensive as wolf skin anyway." Battle put the fur on the rope and kept rubbing it. Every part of the fur had to be stretched to become soft.
Ten minutes later, his clothes were soaked with sweat. Xue Ming felt that he couldn't do this. The good guy was sweating like rain and could tire him to death. He couldn't bear the hardship and didn't want to suffer.
After an hour to complete the softening, hang the wolf skin on a rack and bake it over a charcoal fire. The smoke will enter from the wolf's butt and come out from its mouth.
After another three hours, the wolf skin was dried. This wolf skin tube could sell for 3 yuan in the 21st century. I don’t know how much it can sell for now.
"Thank you, brother, how much can I sell this skin for?" Xue Ming said, putting the wolf skin tube into a sack.
"It's no problem selling it for 40 yuan." Battelle wiped his sweat and said, "I'm going to the provincial capital tomorrow. If you have anything you want, I'll bring it to you."
"Not yet, please contact me later." Xue Ming said goodbye to him and quickly went to the market.
It actually took 6 hours to knead the wolfskin tube. Xue Ming supervised the whole process and couldn't take care of eating. The sun had already set and I didn't know if there was anyone in the market.
When I arrived at Liucun Market, I found that there were only a few stalls. The bosses selling wheat and corn had already closed their stalls and went home. There was only one old man selling sweet potatoes left in the market.
The main ration of Guangming Commune is sweet potatoes. Of course, they are not easy to sell. Xue Ming cursed and asked the price, "How do you sell sweet potatoes?"
The old man held out his hand and said, "Five cents a pound."
"I want them all for 4 cents a pound." There was only half a bag of sweet potato chips left at home and I couldn't bear to buy them. I bought them and roasted them and made soup. I vowed never to eat sweet potatoes again in my life.
"Pay for it, 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes cost 4 yuan." The old man was so happy that he finally sold it after a whole day.
Xue Ming paid and carried the sweet potatoes home. Let's make do with it for now. He will sell the wolf skins and then buy wheat tomorrow.
He found a deserted place, threw the sweet potatoes into the air, and walked home quickly. It got dark just after walking 3 miles, and he was the only one under the moonlight between heaven and earth.
Suddenly, a wolf howled in the distance, and Xue Ming hurriedly took out the shotgun from the space.
