Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Seeing that Liu Xialian and the others were fine, the mother waved her hand and said, "Come to my house to eat wild boar meat stewed with pickled cabbage. We just killed a pig yesterday. Most of it is lean meat. It tastes very good."

The village chief was happy: "Okay, then it's a waste. I'll go home and get the loose basket."

Liu Xia Lian quickly stopped him: "There are dozens of bottles of Daqu liquor at home, why are you just taking them away? We have cigarettes and liquor, so you don't even need to go home."

More than a dozen people, plus a team of more than 20 people who were driving people up the mountain, all came to Liu Xia Lian's house.

A few days ago, I killed two second-generation wild boars weighing more than 200 pounds. Most of them were sent away, leaving more than 30 pounds. I was thinking of finding time to make dumplings. Unexpectedly, the horses got frightened today, and the two pack horses ran home in a panic.

My mother was feeding pheasants in the backyard. When she saw Ma come back and no one was there, she thought something had happened, so she called the village chief and went up the mountain to help.

Liu Xia Lian took out more than 30 kilograms of wild boar meat from the freezer and placed it in the yard to thaw.

The village chief and militiamen came forward to take a look. Compared with ordinary domestic pork, wild boar meat has less fat, only a thin layer, about one finger thick, and the lean meat is red in color, more like beef.

The village chief put his nose close to it and sniffed it: "This pork doesn't have any fishy smell. It's pure wild boar meat. Only rural people can eat it. City people will vomit after taking a bite."

"The fattened wild boars are slaughtered when they weigh about 20 kilograms. A lot of effort is put into feeding them. All kinds of vegetables, fruits, and grain scraps are fed raw, so that there is more lean meat."

The village chief didn't understand: "What would happen if we feed cooked food to wild boars?"

Liu Xialian introduced: "If cornmeal, soybean cakes and wheat bran are cooked and fed to wild boars, the wild boars will grow fat. This is because cooked food is easier to digest and more easily converted into fat."

"There is also this saying. Are there any wild boars for sale in the pig farm recently? My family will buy two and raise them until the Chinese New Year next year."

"Also, you can go there whenever you want."

The mother washed her hands and wanted to cook. Li Hu came over and said, "Let me do it. I have learned to cook. I am not as good as a chef, but I am definitely better than an apprentice."

Two iron pots were set up in the yard, one for stewing sauerkraut and wild boar meat, and the other for stewing large pike.

Li Hu is the chef, Liu Xia Lian and Da Mei are helping out, Daya, Erya and Daniu took the dog out to play, these three have too much energy, a normal person's legs would feel as sore as if they were filled with vinegar after coming back from the mountains, but these three have too much energy, it seems they went to the river to fish, in short, they can't sit around.

Li Hu stewed the food, added firewood to the stove, and asked Liu Xialian: "Daya and Erya have given me more than 2,000 kilograms of fish during this period, and they are all recorded in the notebook. How can I settle the bill for them?"

"At the end of the year, you settle the bill based on the price of the fish and give me the money. I will save it for these two people. We can't just not give it to them because they don't want it."

Village Chief Li and the militiamen were puffing smoke. The village chief was a little worried about the vegetables in the village: "Xia Lian, can we finish processing the vegetables this autumn? The weather is good this year, so the yield is quite large. Look at the Chinese mustard, it is growing very well."

The militia captain said, "It's not just Chinese mustard greens. My family has planted three acres of Chinese knotweed, and it's growing really well. Now it depends on whether Director Liu can finish processing it."

"For now, the biggest problem with processing is that the pickle vats can't keep up. The pickle factory pays the most attention to quality, and every vat of pickles and sauerkraut must be well made. Half of it is processed, and the other half is sold as fresh vegetables. In fact, fresh vegetables don't make any money at all. They are too far away. After transporting them 600 miles to the provincial capital, after deducting the cost of oil, labor, and damage, there is less than 0.3 cents per pound of profit. But there is no other way. In order to let the villagers make more money, I have to do it even if I lose money."

The village chief nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Workers' wages are already low, and this year they have generally increased by five or ten yuan compared to last year. Vegetable prices have been hovering around three or four cents.

Pike is easier to stew and can be cooked in just a few dozen minutes, but wild boar meat takes time, more than an hour and a half to become soft and tasty.

It was almost time for dinner. Daya, Erya and Daniu came back with four big fish and two pheasants.

Everybody started to eat happily. The militiamen were also very happy. They had thought it would be a tough job to go into the mountains for rescue, but who would have thought that they would come back just after reaching the mountain pass, drinking and eating meat, and having a great time.

After the meal, although Village Chief Li drank half a catty of white wine, this amount was just the starting level for him.

"Xia Lian, can you tell me what new projects you will have next year? This year, all the farmers who followed the farmers have made a fortune, especially the glutinous corn, which is harvested early. After harvesting the corn, it doesn't delay the planting of the second crop of vegetables."

Liu Xialian said: "The county is only selling pickled vegetables and sauerkraut, but the actual profit is not high. The government is tax-free now. If we pay taxes normally, we can make a 5% profit. So I plan to develop a few new varieties, one of which is chopped pepper sauce, which is made by picking long peppers with red and green mixed together, and then chopping them into chopped pepper sauce. It is quite expensive in the market and has a higher profit. The yield of long peppers per mu is about 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms, so the profit of growers is still considerable."

Village Chief Li was very happy: "Good, good, great. My family grows chili peppers every year. They are very productive. One mu of land can produce two to three thousand kilograms of fruit. I wonder how much is the purchase price per kilogram?"

"A little over ten cents a pound."

Village Chief Li did some calculations when he heard this: "One mu of land is several hundred yuan. Planting two mu is enough to marry a wife. Haha, that's it. I'll bid for two mu first."

"The one cent or so I just mentioned is for fresh goods. We also collect dry goods. We'll see where to develop dry goods when the time comes."

The village chief said with a smile: "I hope that during my tenure, every household in the village can buy a television, a bicycle, and a horse-drawn carriage."

"This is halfway achieved. Bicycles and televisions are becoming more and more popular. But horse-drawn carriages are a bit difficult. After all, some people can't use horses."

After chatting for a while, Village Chief Li looked at his watch and said, "It's already eight o'clock. Now that we've eaten and drunk enough, let's go to patrol posts. There are more and more wild boars these days."

Liu Xia Lian and others did not go. Although this is Yiwu, there are also interests involved. The wild boars, wolves, etc. that are killed are all money.

Damei said, "Sister, please come and live with me at my house. I haven't lived here for a long time and I don't know what's going on with you."

"No, I'm fine. An old man passed away in the village a few days ago, and your father came back to stay for two days. Come on, I'll stay with you."

Liu Xia Lian wanted to go over, and Daya and Erya followed her.

Damei's yard was already deserted, no one cultivated the backyard, no one cleaned the front yard, only the house was still clean and tidy. His family was one of the first to leave the village. His father was allocated a unit in the forest farm, although it was relatively simple, the conditions were still better than those in the village.

As soon as you enter the yard, you can still smell that familiar smell. Last year, when Liu Xia Lian just started her business, the four sisters ate and drank to their heart's content at Damei's house every day.

"Time flies so fast. I'm married in a blink of an eye, and Xia Lian is about to get married too. Daya, why don't you consider finding a partner?" Damei sat on the earthen kang with emotion.

Daya was stunned: "Me? Looking for a partner."
