I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

There was no major event at the steel mill. Cao Dongfang went hunting four days a week, catching an average of five wild boars and two wild sheep a day.

In December, Cao Dongfang went hunting again. He didn't catch any wild boars, but two wild buffaloes, three wild sheep and two chickens.

Cao Dongfang came out carrying the bison, and once again scared Shen Tao and the other two apprentices.

Bison!

That's a bison!

Two bison were carried one on each side, and they still ran away. The two wild boars weighed only more than 300 pounds, less than 400 pounds.

A wild bull weighs more than 1600 kilograms, and two of them weigh at least kilograms. They are strong enough to lift a tripod. This was Shen Tao’s first reaction!

The young apprentice who saw Cao Dongfang carrying two bison out of the mountain for the first time was so surprised that his mouth opened wide. His mind was blank and he couldn't utter a word.

"Hold your guns, keep an eye on the car, and there are three sheep. I'm going into the mountains for a while. Shen Tao, you take charge. Don't be surprised." After saying this, Cao Dongfang turned around and went into the mountains again.

"Holding a big piece of grass, Master Cao is so strong that he can carry a bison weighing more than 1600 kilograms and run out of the mountains. How much strength does it take?" said an apprentice.

"I really don't know how strong my master is. I can't even lift a pig." Shen Tao said with some pride.

"I can't even lift a pig."

"Master Cao is amazing. The horns of this bison were about 70 to 80 centimeters long, but Master Cao killed it by stabbing it in the eyes with a javelin from the front. What great skills he has," said an apprentice.

“It seems so!”

"Xiao Leng, you know this!"

"I don't understand! My master said that when Master Cao hunts, he always pierces the prey's eyes with a javelin from the front to kill them." Xiao Leng said.

"Um...Um Shen Tao, is Master Cao selling this beef? Can I buy some?" asked an apprentice.

"It should be possible. It's all market price. Beef is 9 cents per pound. No ticket is needed. This is how pork, lamb, and chicken were sold in the past." Shen Tao was not sure whether Cao Dongfang would sell the beef.

“Ask Master Cao!”

“Beef is hard to come by!”

.......

Cao Dongfang took back three sheep and two chickens and drove back to Sijiu City. Now Shen Tao's driving skills have improved rapidly.

There is no problem driving in the city by yourself. Just drive slowly and carefully when there are many people around.

A bison and three wild sheep were given to Butcher Zhang, who processed them. The people in the caravan came to buy them after get off work. They were all people he knew and had experience with.

I don't know if there is any beef left, but there will definitely be no mutton left, including mutton offal and mutton heads. These three sheep are not enough for the people in the team to share.

"Brother Dongfang, you are awesome. You killed it with one shot again. No need to shoot a second time. Bison are not easy to kill. I will take care of it. You can come and buy meat after get off work." Butcher Zhang said.

Cao Dongfang just smiled and said nothing. He weighed the goods, took the money and went back to the factory, along with a bison and two pheasants.

Sell ​​the cows to the factory, take the chickens back to the fleet and give them to Uncle Guan and his team. They also need some supplementary food, and then go buy mutton after get off work.

.......

Less than ten minutes after Cao Dongfang entered the factory, everyone in the steel rolling mill knew that Cao Dongfang had brought back a wild buffalo, and everyone was happy.

During the half month that Cao Dongfang was hunting at the steel rolling mill, the food was noticeably better. There was meat every day, just a few pieces per person, but meat was meat.

We can see meat every day, which is much better than before. It is said that each person eats one pound of meat per month, but there is really not much meat. Each person eats three grams of meat per day, including bones.

Now it also includes bones, but there is meat every day, even the soup is meat broth and bone broth, which is much better than before.

"The factory shouldn't let Master Cao drive. It would be better for him to go hunting every day."

"That's right. Do we have to eat meat every day to have the energy to work? We do heavy physical work, and we can't do without meat!"

"It's winter now, the team is fine, Master Cao went hunting at everyone's request, the sheep were divided among the team, this is the pork that the factory wanted."

"That's fine. We don't have much mutton, and they are close friends. We can use pork."

"That's right, as long as there's meat, we're not picky about meat!"

“We can’t choose!”

"Dongfang, awesome! A big bison. This time the workers in the factory will have a treat. What's the price or the market price?" said Deputy Director Shen.

"Okay!" Cao Dongfang nodded.

"Someone come and weigh it!" Deputy Director Shen shouted.

“827 pounds!”

Take the note from Deputy Director Shen and go to the Finance Department to collect the money.

"Dongfang, you are 20 years old now, it's time to find a girlfriend. You are not too old. Sister Huang has good ones. With your income and looks, you can pick any one you want."

Aunt Huang from the Finance Department started promoting Cao Dongfang's...wife again!

"Sister Huang, there's no rush. I'll be playing for two years. Having a wife means I'll have kids soon. I can't play anymore. I'll have to wait a few years. I'm only 20 years old, not too old.

I'll go back to the team first. If you're busy, come to the team to find me if you have anything. Goodbye, Sister Huang! "When Cao Dongfang heard that he was looking for his wife, he was so scared that he was ready to run away.

"Don't be anxious, Dongfang. Let's not find a girlfriend for now. Let me ask you, do you have any meat left? I want to buy some." Sister Huang said this.

brush!brush!brush!brush!

In the Finance Department's office, five people and four pairs of eyes looked at Cao Dongfang at the same time. Sister Huang's eyes were already on Cao Dongfang.

"Sister Huang, please tell me clearly what you mean. Do you want it alone so that you can take it home and eat it?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"Dongfang Congming, there is some meat to eat at the factory, but not at home. If I hadn't eaten some meat at the factory, I wouldn't have eaten meat for more than half a month. I have meat coupons, but I can't buy meat."

Sister Huang said helplessly.

"The market price of pork is 9.5 cents per pound now. What location and amount do you want? If you agree, just write it down and you can get it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Cao Dongfang said.

"The market price is fine. I can't buy meat even if I have money. Dongfang, wait a moment, I'll write it down." Sister Huang said.

"Eastern, that..."

"East,....

"Sister Mingwei, please write down the meat, but not too much!" Cao Dongfang said.

"Thank you Dongfang, we will eat it at home, two or three kilograms will be enough." Several women from the Finance Department said.

.......

Two or three pounds are enough. Five pounds of meat per person, two pounds plus three pounds equals five pounds. The women in the finance department are really good at counting.

I can use addition!

Impressed!

Twenty-five pounds of pork belly is not a lot for the five women in the Finance Department, so one pig can do the job.

Today is Tuesday, and we will continue hunting tomorrow. We will have one day off this week and rest on Thursday.

He gave the two chickens to Uncle Guan and said, "Uncle Guan, Butcher Zhang has another wild ox and three wild sheep. Ask who wants them."

“There are three wild sheep. They are good stuff. Buy some. Even the sheep heads are wanted.

Buy a few pounds of beef, too. We ate it quite a few times in September and October. Buy less and buy more when the New Year is coming. "Uncle Guan was happy when he heard that he had mutton to eat.

"Uncle Guan, beef bone soup is a real good thing, especially for the elderly and children, it can supplement calcium! If you have a poor diet and suffer from osteoporosis, drink beef bone or pork bone soup to replenish your body!" said Cao Dongfang.

“I really don’t understand this. You said to buy more big bones to make soup. Big bones are not expensive.” Uncle Guan nodded.

"Ask the butcher to break the big bones apart, one section at a time, to expose the marrow. Clean them and cook them slowly like meat. Sprinkle some chopped green onions on them and drink it as soup. You can then add water and cook it a few more times," said Cao Dongfang.

"That's fine. Bone soup is also considered meat soup. It's not bad to drink some in the winter. We're short of meat. Is your family okay?

How has Xiao Shen performed this month? Is the country going to regulate the market on a large scale? "Guan Huang asked.

"My family is fine. Little Shen is okay. He doesn't have too many problems. His father is Deputy Director Shen.

As for the state-controlled market, it has already begun. After the Chinese New Year, the market will be gone. It will all be state-owned and all will require tickets. "Cao Dongfang said.

"It's happening so soon. There are less than three months left until the Chinese New Year. This is a troublesome matter. Will it affect your hunting?" Guan Huang asked hurriedly.

“No, but there are some. Hunting is not illegal, so you can do it without worry. But you are not allowed to sell the prey to others, only to supply and marketing cooperatives.

The income will be less, but the factory can still sell it, and the price will not be as high as it is now. "Cao Dongfang said.

"The supply and marketing cooperative's purchase price is more than half of the factory's. You're at a huge disadvantage." Guan Huang became anxious when he heard this.

“The purchase price is from the factory, and the factory workers are all heavy manual laborers, so they can’t afford less meat.

If they are smart, they will communicate with the department. The price is too low, so I won’t go hunting for them, I can just eat it myself. "Cao Dongfang said.

The factory’s purchase price will not be too low. It must be at least 70 cents per pound. Only then will Cao Dongfang go hunting. Otherwise, the factory will purchase pork at 42 cents per pound.

Hunting!

Is it bad to exercise?
