I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

Just in mid-November, Cao Dongfang received a mission. It was voluntary and not mandatory!

No one dares to force it!

He was afraid that Cao Dongfang would really beat him!

Can we go out hunting? The caravan has no work as winter comes. They are the ones who transport the ore. It takes a day and a half to go back and forth. Cao Dongfang doesn't like to drive out, so can we go hunting?

Improve the food!

Lamb is best!

Lamb is a great tonic in winter!

We also need pork. The more meat the better!

Guan Huang and Cao Dongfang said that the factory leaders also needed meat, and it was still at market price, so they could just bring it back this time.

"Uncle Guan, this won't work. If we take it to the factory, the people in the team won't be able to buy good meat. We can split it up, one for the butcher and one for the factory.

Now that I have a car, I can go to further places where there are more prey.

Killing ten wild boars a day is not a big deal, maybe even bison." Cao Dongfang said.

"We really can't pull them all back, so you can handle this on your own!

As for where to go, you can decide for yourself, you can go to the mountains, it takes less than an hour to drive nearby and less than two hours to drive far away, you can go back and forth in one day. "Guan Huang said.

"Don't go to Daxishan. There are fewer prey there. We can kill a few around the New Year. We have almost killed all the big prey in the past two years. Let's give that place a break for a year or two," said Cao Dongfang.

“Who are you going to take with you? Xiao Shen is short of people, and he may not be able to watch the car when you go hunting.

It would be bad if something happened, as there are still many apprentices in the team." Guan Huang said.

"Take Xiao Shen and two other people. Those who are equipped with guns and can shoot will be given priority. What do you think, Uncle Guan?" Cao Dongfang asked.

that's it!

......

Starting from the middle of the month, Cao Dongfang worked six days a week and rested one day. He went hunting in the Yanshan Mountains for four days.

The Yanshan Mountains are not far from Sijiu City, and the Daxishan Mountains are also considered part of the Yanshan Mountains. It’s better not to go there, as it’s a little further away.

There are really no people who dare to go hunting deep in the Yanshan Mountains. They all hunt on the outskirts.

Cao Dongfang prepared to go into the mountains to hunt, where there were plenty of prey!

There are not many people and vehicles on the Sijiucheng Highway now. In the first few times, Cao Dongfang taught Shen Tao how to drive by combining theory with practice.

Shen Tao learned to drive quickly because he was brave. He was not as timid as Xiao Xu who was afraid of accidents. It might also have something to do with his family.

On the way there, Shen Tao drove halfway and Cao Dongfang sat in the passenger seat, watching and pointing out anything that was wrong. On the way back, Shen Tao drove first. When they were almost at Sijiu City, there were more people and cars so Cao Dongfang drove instead.

The first time Cao Dongfang entered the Yanshan Mountains, he felt that it was much larger than the Daxishan Mountains. The rolling hills stretched as far as the eye could see. It was a great place for hunting.

Cao Dongfang was not planning to hunt. The price of buying from the system was the same as selling to the butcher. He could make a profit by selling to the factory, so he would not lose money.

This will also make the fleet and the factory thank him from top to bottom. After all, Cao Dongfang works when the factory needs work, and goes hunting when the factory needs meat.

It is estimated that in these places, after a year, when people are about to starve to death, there will be people who are not afraid of death and go into the mountains to hunt.

As Shen Tao and the other three stared in amazement, Cao Dongfang went into the mountains.

"Damn! How fast is it? I opened my eyes and the person disappeared. Am I seeing a ghost?" said an apprentice Xiao Wang in shock.

"It seems...it seems, I didn't see clearly how Master Cao disappeared, it seems like he went into the mountains." Apprentice Xiao Gao said uncertainly.

“It’s not that there’s something wrong with our eyes, it’s that my master’s speed is too fast for the naked eye to see clearly.

Beating others at this speed is just like playing, Pepe! "Shen Tao finally understood how powerful Cao Dongfang was.

“Brothers, we don’t have to worry if we can’t see Master Cao.

When we came here, Captain Guan told us to take care of the car and not to worry about Master Cao's business, but to do our own business first. "Apprentice Xiao Wang said.

you can!

.......

Cao Dongfang did not go hunting in the mountains, but he observed the terrain and what kind of prey there were in the mountains.

Judging from the distance traveled, there are many more animals here than in Daxishan.

There are both silly dogs and wild badgers. Cao Dongfang plans to kill a few of them for meat. Even if he doesn't eat them himself, others will buy them.

Butcher Zhang would like it. Cao Dongfang occasionally goes to Butcher Zhang to sell meat.

Butcher Zhang once said that he would be lucky if he could sell two pigs a week because there was no meat in the market.

Nowadays, all the meat in the market is sold out, so it doesn’t matter what kind of meat it is.

With nothing to do, Cao Dongfang started shooting heads with steel balls. Within twenty minutes of entering the mountains, he had caught three pheasants, a roe deer and a badger.

It’s still early, so keep going. You can go back in another 20 minutes!

It takes 40 minutes to go there and 40 minutes to go back, so each trip takes less than three hours in total. You can kill six wild boars and some small animals.

Give three wild boars to the factory, and sell the rest to Butcher Zhang, and the people in the caravan will buy them. This will be good for everyone, so let’s do it.

We will kill a few more sheep in the future so that we can eat mutton and drink mutton soup. We killed six chickens today!

Cao Dongfang thought about some things, and when he was ready, he started to wander around in the mountains, not hunting any other prey except pheasants and large animals.

.......

When the time came to go back, I almost reached the foot of the mountain, picked up the tied wild boar, walked a few steps to the front of the car, and put the killed wild boar in the trunk.

"Wait a moment, there are two pigs and some small things. I'll take them back and we'll go back to the factory." After saying that, Cao Dongfang quickly went into the mountains.

The second time I went back, I brought the remaining two wild boars, six chickens, seven or eight roe deer and badgers out of the mountains, put them in the car, and prepared to return to Sijiu City.

The four apprentices who followed, including Shen Tao, couldn't help drooling from the corners of their eyes when they saw it.

Meat, meat, all meat. I had never seen so much meat before. There were six wild boars, each weighing more than 180 kilograms.

So greedy!

I really want to eat meat!

Among these four people, only Shen Tao's family is in a better situation. He can't eat meat every day, but it's better if he can eat meat every few days.

The other three people were lucky to eat meat once a week, and only part of the meat was sold with coupons, as there was not much meat available in the market.

In 1953, Cao Dongfang sold meat for the first time. There were five or six shops selling meat in the market. Now there is only Zhang the butcher. In comparison, there is a lot less meat.

Even Zhang the butcher said that he didn't know how long he could continue selling meat. Like everyone else, he was not allowed to sell meat anymore and had to work in a state-owned unit.

He wanted to work in a slaughterhouse. He had been selling meat for twenty years, but he didn't know how to do anything except killing animals.

"Drive, let's go back to Sijiu City. If you need to buy meat, you can have priority and buy it from a butcher. It's not far away." Cao Dongfang said.

"Master, can I drive? Can I buy the meat and a chicken?" Shen Tao asked in the cab.

“There are few people on the road, so you drive first and I’ll drive you to Sijiucheng. You can buy as much pork as you want. I’ll give you a chicken today as a small gift!

If there is no more in the future, I will buy everything with money. "Cao Dongfang said.

"Thank you, Master." Shen Tao was very happy. He had meat and chicken and he could drive. He liked driving.

First go to the Hongxing Sub-district Office to deliver some meat to the families of military martyrs. It has been four months since last July, which is not a short time.

After entering Sijiu City, Cao Dongfang drove to the street office first and dropped off a wild boar.

As the four apprentices stared in astonishment, Cao Dongfang said a few perfunctory words to the aunties and drove to Butcher Zhang.

"Brother Dongfang is here with two pigs, a roe deer and a badger, all of which are good things, just like last year." Butcher Zhang asked.

"Same, there will be such incidents every now and then in the future, as there are more people in the convoy." Cao Dongfang said.

“My brother knows that I will go back to work after the Chinese New Year, and the market will be shut down soon!

Everything is sold by the state, and has nothing to do with individuals. I went to work in a slaughterhouse, alas! "Butcher Zhang sighed.

Butcher Zhang is going to work. This time we have really entered the era of coupons. You could buy some things in the market before, but that will no longer be possible.

Our country has truly entered the era of tickets!

Historically, the ticket system was not actually abolished until 1993.

The history of national economic development!

Cao Dongfang didn't say much. He weighed the goods, took the money, and returned to the factory.

I brought three wild boars and six pheasants back to the factory and met people from the security department at the entrance of the factory.

When the people from the security department saw the three big wild boars, they were very happy. There was not much pork, less than one or two ounces per person, but it was meat!

When was the last time we ate meat in the factory? It’s been just a week, I...I can’t remember.

When I arrived at the logistics department, I found Deputy Director Shen in charge, Shen Tao's father. He said there was meat, which was great, and the money was ready.

No tickets are needed, the whole pig is still sold at one dollar per pound. The factory workers have meat to eat again, and there is plenty of meat before the New Year.

Cao Dongfang started hunting!
