Chapter 226

Chapter [-]

Because things like donating money to fight tigers can kill two birds with one stone for the rich!The so-called "double eagle":
The first is that it has the same effect as doing good deeds in ordinary times. Ordinary people in the secular world generally believe that doing more good deeds can bring blessings to themselves and their families. This donation is also the so-called "spending money and avoiding disasters"!
The second is to gain a good reputation. This kind of big event of killing tigers has a great repercussions in the local area. It is also an achievement of the local parents and officials, which must be reported to the imperial court for rewards!

For such a big event as fighting a tiger, it should be included in the local chronicles by Zheng Zhengbaer, so it can go down in history!The rich people who donated are sorted by the amount of donations, and they all have to leave their names in the local chronicles!

On the contrary, those who participated in the tiger fight, because of the large number of people, will not be included in the local chronicles, only a few prominent figures will be included, while others will be labeled as "a certain place and nearby mountain people"!
In fact, except for the tiger meat, the tiger-fighting personnel will not take back the tiger-fighting tools after they are used up, and they belong to the owner. Some of these weapons are knives, guns and iron, some are wooden sticks, and there are also bows. Long-range attack weapons such as crossbows!

No matter what kind of weapon they are, they will never take it out and use it. They will be treasured and passed down from generation to generation in the family: "This is the weapon used by the ancestors to fight tigers!"

In addition to being a symbol of honor, these weapons are also said to have a magical effect of warding off evil spirits!
It turned out that the tiger that was killed this time was drinking water in a mountain stream, and was accidentally discovered by a hunter from Caijiachong. According to the ancestral rules, the hunter came back to report the news to the head of the Cai family!
The head of the Cai family organized the local people to hunt this tiger. There were more than 100 people who participated, and everyone was on the scene, waiting for the head of the family and the other big figures to come up with a plan for distributing the spoils!
Since He Yuanying came, she was not in a hurry to go back, but let go of her spiritual sense and listened to them discussing the plan for distributing tiger meat.

There are rules to follow for many things in the world!Although it is very rare to kill a tiger, there is no need to discuss the distribution plan, because since ancient times, there has been a distribution principle of "seeing a share" passed down!

And the responsibility of the leading figures in the organizing committee is to determine the order in which they receive the spoils according to the number of participants and the degree of credit!
But because of Cai Shishi's sudden joining, he beat the tiger to death with a wooden stick, which made the organizing committee more embarrassing as to whether Cai Shishi should distribute the tiger meat or not!

Cai Shishi, also called Cai Frustration, was the scholar who beat the tiger to death with a stick just now!Because the pronunciation of "frustration" and "eleven" are exactly the same, most country people can't read, so it doesn't matter whether you are "eleven" or "frustration"!
He Yuanying thought that the scholar killed the tiger because some of his family members or friends were injured by the tiger. He killed the tiger purely to vent his anger, but it turned out that he came here to get a share of the spoils!

After the story of "Cai Shishi beat a tiger to death" was spread in all directions, it became a household name and was regarded as a joke, which has been passed down!Became a famous allusion of Cai Jiachong. It is often used to describe people who sit back and enjoy their success. It is very vivid!

Although the people in the mountains are not very rich, they value their face the most, especially scholars!Cai Frustration is also an educated man, and if he can do such a thing, he is almost a rascal!
Although patriarch Cai is the person in charge, he is quite critical of his nephew's actions. After all, this is not an internal matter of the family, and he dare not make decisions without authorization.

Patriarch Cai submitted the issue of whether to share the tiger meat with Cai Frustration to the organizing committee for a joint decision. To his surprise, no one commented after the proposal was made!

Of the dozen or so members of the organizing committee, not only did none of them agree or disagree, but none of them said anything, and there was a moment of silence!

After a while, a villager surnamed Wang finally came out to smooth things over, but he raised a question that had nothing to do with this topic, that is, whether to accept donations. Anyway, no one spoke!
Regarding the issue of giving Cai Shishi a share of the tiger meat, I don’t know who took the lead in saying “Let the patriarch make the decision”, and all the people present unanimously agreed to let the patriarch make the decision!

It turns out that people in the mountains have a good face, and of course they don't want to refute others' face easily. Although Cai's reputation is not very good, and the prestige of "dog-headed military advisor" is only enjoyed by those ruffians, no one is willing to rely on nothing for nothing. Offend him!

It doesn't matter whether Cai is frustrated or not, the main thing is to see if the rules set by the ancestors are not broken!
Although Cai Frustrated beat a dead tiger, according to the distribution principle of "whoever sees it, there is a share", participating in the distribution naturally did not violate the rules!
None of these prestigious people agreed to give Cai Ruyi a share of the tiger meat. It's not that they couldn't make up their minds, but they all disagreed in their hearts!Otherwise, they will rush to speak and agree, be a good old man, and earn a favor!
They dare not raise objections. In fact, in their hearts, they are quite afraid of Cai Shishi's title of "dog-headed military adviser"!
In the end, it was the head of the Cai family who made the decision, and gave Cai Frustration a share of the tiger meat, earning a favor!The reason is that the rule of the older generation is "the person who sees has a share", not to mention that Cai was frustrated and beat the tiger to death!

Now that the distribution plan was decided, a butcher with amazing skills stepped forward, called two young and middle-aged men to help him, and peeled off the tiger's skin completely, cleaned the bones, and then began to divide the meat!
The butcher's craftsmanship is very good. Although the tiger is not small, but he has to divide the meat into more than 100 parts, and the weight of each tiger meat is difficult to control.

The butcher accurately divided the tiger meat into three grades. The first grade only had a dozen servings, a little over two catties, and it was specially distributed to the organizing committee members.

The second grade has more than forty copies, about a catty and a half, which are distributed to those hunters who have contributed more.

The third grade is the most, there are as many as [-] parts, but the weight is only about one catty, and these are distributed to the nearby villagers who participated!
This kind of division is still fair, and everyone is very happy to accept it!Because those villagers just joined in the fun, although each of them played such a stick, they didn't make much effort!

Compared with Cai Shishi, there is not much difference in the amount of effort. Cai Shishi even contributes more than most people. The key lies in the difference between the tiger's life and death.They are all the beneficiaries of the distribution rules of "Whoever Sees Gets a Share"!
The head of the Cai family walked forward without hesitation, glanced back and forth at the larger portion of tiger meat several times, and then picked the one he thought was the best, held it in his hand, and then began to press the list Order people to collect their tiger meat.
