Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Just when Liu Ping'an and his men were carrying the bear down the mountain.

The large group that went outside the village to look for wild vegetables also returned to the village entrance early.

Just as Liu Ping'an guessed, Chen Lan and her friends couldn't find any wild vegetables outside the village.

Even after walking a few hundred meters, we could only find a small amount of wild vegetables.

After all, there are so many people in the village coming to pick wild vegetables, and wild vegetables are not like weeds with tenacious vitality that can “burn out and grow again in the spring breeze.”

Besides, even the wild grass has turned yellow and drooped on the ground. I guess it will be completely destroyed if the drought continues for a few more years.

In addition to the impact of natural disasters, the most important thing is that now the place where they pick wild vegetables includes not only people from Qinjia Village, but also people from nearby villages.

There are many people and few wild vegetables, so the competition is fierce.

"I'm so unlucky. How could I have met old lady Zhang? She's such a shrew. She almost tore my clothes."

The women and children of Qinjia Village returned to the village entrance. One of the women straightened her clothes and complained dissatisfiedly.

Her words also aroused the emotions of others, as they were already eating less.

People from other villages came out to scramble for wild vegetables. You should know that the land they went to still belonged to Qinjia Village. But people from other villages came and said, "Will the wild vegetables respond if you call them?"

What a shrew!

However, among the women, the Liu family and Qin Huairu's family had better expressions.

The Liu family has been enjoying a good meal lately.

I don't have such strong thoughts about wild vegetables.

Qin's mother's family had just replenished more than a pound of sorghum flour, and Liu Ping'an sent a dozen large sweet potatoes, which were much more delicious than wild vegetables.

So I don’t feel that strongly about whether I can pick wild vegetables.

But they are still unhappy with those people who run into other people’s territory with dirty mouths.

I can do without it.

But you can't rob.

"Mom, next time we go to look for wild vegetables, why don't we go earlier? Anyway, we're almost done with the things in the village recently."

Zhang Guifang's opinion touched Chen Lan's heart, and she also felt that they should go earlier.

Even if you don't eat it, you have to pick it.

Those shrews are so mad!

Chen Lan's mood improved, but the atmosphere in the group was still low.

There was some silence along the way.

After all, most people are hungry.

If there were no wild vegetables to fill our stomachs, how could we be full with just that little bit of rice?

It looks like I have to enter the stage of "lying at home and saving energy" early.

When they walked into the village, they suddenly found that the men who were supposed to be working in the fields were gone.

"Where are the people? Why are they all gone?"

The other women also felt strange. Where could they go if they were not here?

Suddenly, a young man came running towards the commune canteen, carrying a cloth bag.

"Xiaobao, why are you carrying that big bag?"

When the young man came closer, the women recognized him. He was the younger brother of the village hunter Qin Dabao. How could he be running so fast with a bag in his hand?

Qin Xiaobao saw everyone and stopped to breathe deeply.

Then he said excitedly: "Brother Ping An killed a blind bear in the mountains and said he would give us some meat. I went to the cafeteria to get a knife."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd of women was immediately in an uproar.

Especially Chen Lan, when she heard Qin Xiaobao's words, she became anxious and grabbed Qin Xiaobao's arm.

"Blind bear! Is my family safe?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Grandma Chen..." Qin Xiaobao also knew that Liu Ping'an was the Liu family's favorite, so he hurriedly explained, "Brother Ping'an's shooting skills are very good. He killed the blind bear with two shots. After that, he came down and asked people to carry the bear up, and said that he would share the meat with us."

"Oh my god, Ping An is so amazing! He's good at studying and is a worker. He can even kill a blind bear!"

"Did I hear correctly? Ping An said he would share the meat with us?!"

"You must have heard correctly. Ping An is so kind. He caught some prey yesterday and gave two chickens to everyone. You didn't get to eat chicken yesterday."

"Oh, Sister Chen, your grandson is so promising. He is a righteous and generous person. I must let my grandson learn from Ping An."

"Look at how big the difference is in being a human being. Peace is not ordinary."

"It's still Sister Chen. Sister Zhang has been well educated. It's obvious that she has inherited the good qualities of the older generation!"

Chen Lan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her grandson was fine, suddenly felt her worries disappear when she heard the endless praises from all around her. She smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared on her face.

Chen Lan waved her hands and said modestly: "Alas, I have taught Ping An since he was a child to be grateful and repay kindness. The village has helped us so many times over the years, and it is only right for Ping An to do this!"

Zhang Guifang originally wanted to be humble, but who knew that her mother-in-law would take over immediately.

She was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Come on, let's go watch a bear being slaughtered. I've never seen a bear being slaughtered in my life."

"Yes, yes, yes. I have only seen pigs being slaughtered. When have I ever seen a bear being slaughtered?"

Three women make a play, a group of women make countless plays.

Qin Xiaobao immediately regretted why he didn't come to get the knife earlier. Now, he was going to be mentally tortured along the way.

The other children were also jumping excitedly, surrounding Xiaoxia, Xiaoyan and the other two with envy.

Especially Lele, he raised his head proudly when he heard it, as if saying "That's my brother".

When the wild vegetable team arrived, the Liu family's yard was filled with people inside and outside.

They stood around the yard, looking at the black bear in the middle of the yard, and discussed excitedly.

After all, they also have a share in this bear.

So everyone is discussing how to cut it.

"Generally speaking, the bear skin should be cut off first."

Qin Dabao squatted beside the bear and pulled its fur with some embarrassment.

"But this is a delicate product. With my skills, I'm afraid the bear skin will be torn to pieces even if I tear it off."

"fine."

Liu Ping'an waved his hands and shook his head, indicating that it was not important.

What's the use of this bear skin? We can't do business now. If we get caught, we will be considered speculators.

You said that the streets and police stations could turn a blind eye to the buying and selling of grain and tickets in the pigeon market. After all, the situation is so difficult and everyone wants to survive.

Are you selling bear skins at the pigeon market?

If this isn’t speculation, what is?

So Liu Ping'an doesn't care about this thing at all.

"Since Ping An doesn't care about the bear skin, then it will be easy to deal with. I will first remove the two bear paws, then cut open the internal organs and drain the blood..."

"The knife is coming, the knife is coming!"

The yard was full of people, and they saw the wild vegetable team coming at a glance. Among them, Qin Xiaobao discovered that they had arrived at Liu's house, so he ran out from the crowd of women and ran over happily with a bag in his hand.

"Okay, start killing the bear. The women take the children away. It's a bit bloody."

"Everyone else, bring the basins you brought. I'm going to start bleeding. Don't spill the blood at Uncle Liu's house!"

Qin Dabao took out a knife, sharpened it, and started to make arrangements.

The person involved, Liu Ping'an, had nothing to do, so he just sat nearby and watched Qin Dabao start to butcher the bear.

If everyone works together, the problem can be handled quickly.

Qin Dabao was indeed an expert at killing pigs. In a short while, he had cut the bear into pieces and removed all the bones, leaving no meat stuck to the bones.

"Come on, bear paws and bear gall."

Qin Dabao dealt with the bloody bear paw. Now the paw was no longer bleeding. He also found a wooden box to put the bear gall.

Liu Pingan nodded and took it, then asked, "How much meat does this bear have?"

"The bear has a large skeleton, and with two bear paws and a lot of internal organs, I estimate that there is more than 350 kilograms of meat."

When Qin Dabao thought of so much meat, he smiled and took out a cigarette from behind and started smoking.

Qinjia Village is not a big village, with only more than 40 households.

Now everyone can give birth, and there are probably more than two hundred people in Qinjia Village, big and small.

Ping An thought for a moment, then laughed and shouted, "This way, everyone gets a pound of meat, both adults and children!"

If you want to be generous, do it to the end.

It would be better not to give anything in the first place than to be so hesitant and stingy.

Liu Ping'an is not a big man, but he has a big heart.

With space at hand, what's a bear?

When Liu Ping'an said this, everyone inside and outside the yard was surprised and shocked.

They thought that Ping An might give each household one pound of meat, but they didn't expect it to be one pound per person!

Some families with fewer people slapped their thighs in regret.

Why don’t you have more children!

As for the Liu family, although they felt sad, this was Liu Ping'an's decision, so they respected it very much and came in to help divide the meat.

"Oh, Sister Chen, Ping An is such a nice person. He is the pride of our Qinjia Village!"

This is a family with more than a dozen people.

"I didn't expect that we, an orphan and a widow, could still have meat in this situation. I am really... so grateful."

This is the orphan in the village.

"If anyone dares to say anything bad about Ping An in the future, I will fight him to the death."

This is Ping An’s new little fanboy.

Liu Ping'an felt that it was a good deal to win people's hearts with meat, and that it was better to provide timely assistance than to simply give icing on the cake.

There is nothing wrong with him doing this.

Even if someone is "grateful for a little bit of rice and resentful for a big bit of rice", other villagers will not agree.

Make your friends more and your enemies fewer.

Liu Ping'an put this sentence into practice.
