Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 109 Deer Blood Wine Record Settlement (Leader adds 11 updates)

This time Xu Ning went into the mountains to hunt deer. He was well prepared. In addition to carrying an empty pot and a funnel, he also carried half a bucket of loose baskets weighing about two kilograms.

This loose basket is loose white wine. If you want to keep deer blood fresh in the old forest, you must mix some white wine with 50° or higher into it to slow the coagulation of the blood to achieve the effect of keeping it fresh and ensuring that nutrients are not lost.

Wang Hu was carrying a jug containing more than two kilograms of deer blood. Xu Ning dragged the jug toward the funnel and poured three or four ounces of white wine into the jug. This was enough to keep it fresh.

After Li Fuqiang and Chai Bing dragged the deer down from the mountain, Xu Ning hurriedly bled it, put all the deer's blood into a wine pot, and mixed it into deer blood wine!

The ratio of deer blood to wine is 5:1, for example, 5 pounds of wine to 1 pound of deer blood.

After finishing these two things, Wang Hu, Chai Bing and Li Fuqiang were busy disemboweling the three deer, hanging the lanterns and throwing them on the tree branches.

These three deer are two females and one male. They are smoky brown all over, with slight white spots but not obvious. There is thick and dense down on the back and abdomen.

The doe has a smaller head, a long neck, slender limbs, and a short tail. They are all about the same size, weighing about 110 kilograms each.

The male deer's head is larger than that of the female deer, and there is a pair of horns on the top of his head, with four branches on the horns, which looks very beautiful.

Deer are not very gregarious animals. Most male deer live alone. They have the habit of migrating short distances in summer and winter and have a certain sense of territory.

So why is there one male and two females?

Because August to November is the breeding period for deer, female deer come into estrus in July, and male deer come into estrus after mid-August.

The gestation period of a doe is very long, about 230 days, and she will not give birth until the next spring.

"Is there anything in your belly?" Xu Ning asked.

Li Fuqiang shook his head: "There should be no such thing."

Xu Ning nodded with relief, indicating that the deer's womb was empty.

Chai Bing pointed at the disemboweled buck and said, "Brother, how do you trim the antlers?"

"Just leave them like this, throw them on the sledge, and let's cook some food over the fire."

"Got it!"

Wang Hu said hurriedly: "I'm going to pick up some firewood!"

When Wang Hu and Li Fuqiang went to collect firewood, Chai Bing and Xu Ning dragged the deer onto the sledge.

"Brother, if this can be used to decorate deer antlers, wouldn't it be worth 1,800 yuan?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "There is no deer antlers at this time. We have to wait until spring for the deer to shed their antlers before they can grow back. The best time to cut the antlers is in June and July. At that time, the antlers are large and heavy, and their medicinal value is at its peak." ”

"Ah, can these antlers be used?"

"Yes, it can be ground into powder and used. These antlers look pretty good. They would be good as ornaments at home."

Chai Bing smiled and said, "If you want to keep this at home as a decoration, you will be in trouble! Anyone who enters the house and takes a look will be stunned."

"Haha, it must be necessary. We are just wandering around the mountains. If we don't have some mountain products at home, is that okay?"

There are good things in deer for all ages, the most famous one is deer antler, which can cure fatigue and replenish energy.

Next is deer antlers, which strengthen the bone marrow and nourish the waist and kidneys. For example, if a woman has just given birth and is holding back breast milk and has pain, it can also relieve pain. It is mainly used to treat malignant sores, fractures, and waist and spine pain.

The remaining whip, fetus, kidney, tail, and blood all have their own functions. They are a good nourishing medicine for men and a holy product for replenishing qi for women.

And venison is also a great supplement!

Some people may ask, why are the later deer not so amazing?

They are all farmed, so what do they eat?

However, the wild deer in the old forest eat foods with medicinal value such as Polygonum multiflorum, Codonopsis root, kudzu vine, wild hawthorn and so on!

Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu were warming up the rice in a cage. Chai Bing and Xu Ning tied three deer, two pots of deer blood, and deer blood wine to the sledge, and then made Xue rub her hands.

"It's a good thing to bring a small sledge, it will save you a lot of trouble."

"That's not good! Otherwise, if we drag him back, he will be as tired as a bastard."

Chai Bing smiled, glanced at the buck's crotch, and said, "Brother, I'll discuss something with you in advance."

"You can just say whatever you want, why should we be so polite?"

"Haha, it's not my business, it's my big brother!"

"Brother? What's wrong?"

"Isn't my eldest brother getting older? There's just something wrong with his body. He's not as strong as he was a few years ago..."

Xu Ning smiled when he heard this, and immediately understood the meaning of Chai Bing's words.

"Want a deer whip?"

"Yeah! Oh my god, I was lying down last night, and my eldest brother had to pull me up. He said this specifically, you said..."

"Okay, I'll give it to him when I get back. If I need anything, I'll go to the mountains to get it."

Chai Bing smiled and said, "Okay, let him tell you later."

"What's the point of discussing this? Just use it!"

"Don't worry, this deer whip is also very expensive. My old man will definitely not be happy when the time comes. One size is one size, and we will talk about the future later. Didn't we discuss it earlier?"

Xu Ning frowned and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

After a lot of hard work, everyone hunted three deer. By the time Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu heated up the meal, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon.

They quickly picked up the food, took more than ten minutes to finish the meal, got up, packed their things, and walked towards home.

It wasn't until after three o'clock that they walked to the place where they went up the mountain, threw the deer into the carriage, and drove home.

Wang Hu was very excited along the way, because he had the greatest credit, hunting two deer alone. This achievement could be said to be something he could brag about for a while.

Wang Hu followed Xu Ning up the mountain to fight for more than half a month. He first encountered a black blind man, then three big cats, and then was attacked by a pack of wolves. He encountered three of the most ferocious beasts in the mountain face to face.

No matter how timid or scared he was, when he saw the two deer, he didn't tremble like he did when he encountered a bear, tiger, and wolf.

Being able to kill two deers calmly and calmly, isn't this growth?

People change little by little, and they have to go through some things before they can become mature. You must know that Wang Hu is only 19, and it is already bad to do this.

The car stopped at the gate of Lao Chai's courtyard.

Chai Shao was sitting on the edge of the Kang chatting with Chai Liangyu when he heard the movement of the car and ran out with a cry.

He hurriedly ran to the courtyard, causing a bunch of dogs in the shack to be stunned, wondering what had happened. When they took a look, it turned out that it was Xu Ning and four others who had returned.

The green wolf, black wolf and other dogs were wagging their tails, whining and coquettishly hoping that Xu Ning would pet their heads.

Although I didn’t take them when I went to the mountains today, Xu Ning did it fairly. What else could they be unhappy about?

"I'll feed you something good later, and calm down!"

Xu Ning walked in and pointed at the humble dog gang and said.

Chai Shao's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously: "Brother, are you being shot?"

"OK!"

Chai Shao looked at him expectantly, "Is there a buck?"

"Yes! Brother, this is just for you."

"Haha, okay! This is good." Chai Shao rubbed his hands and laughed.

When Chai Shao saw the three deer in the carriage, he was slightly startled and said in shock: "Three deer? Damn it! Brother, you've got a lot of trouble!"

"Yeah, let's go to the whole house first, and then we'll chat later!"

The five people dragged the three deer into the outhouse. Chai Liangyu, the eldest sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law and others all saw it, with smiles in their eyes.

As soon as he entered the house, Wang Hu couldn't hold it back and began to tell what happened on the mountain today.

After hearing this, Chai Liangyu, Chai Shao and others all looked in shock. No one expected that Wang Hu could actually kill two deer. Although the two deer were brought to him, if he didn't have experience and the ability to be calm, he would definitely have to let them escape.

Chai Liangyu grabbed Wang Hu and praised him, and Chai Shao also praised Wang Hu repeatedly. His ears turned red when he praised Wang Hu. He could feel the ecstasy that Xu Ning mentioned.

This is so beautiful and refreshing!

After everyone finished chatting, Xu Ning cut off the deer's whip, tail, kidneys, horns and other parts. Chai Shao looked at the deer's whip and was about to open his mouth, but Chai Liangyu accidentally interrupted.

"We weigh in first! Third brother, you go get the crowbar."

Chai Bing turned around and went into the lower room and took out thick wooden sticks, namely the crowbar and the weighing rod.

He and Li Fuqiang carried both ends of the crowbar on their shoulders, while Chai Shao pulled the weight and weighed three deer in a row, adding up to a total of 346 kilograms.

This is the weight of taking out the lantern hanging, deer whip and other parts. Two females and one male are not too small.

The largest sika deer weighs more than 200 kilograms, and the average weight of a normal living adult wild doe is more than 100-130 kilograms.

When Chai Liangyu saw the three deer weighing so heavily, he immediately smiled from ear to ear.

"Er Ning, can you sell these three deer?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Uncle, I want to keep half of the fan. I have to go to my sister-in-law's house to pick up my brother and sister-in-law when I go back tomorrow."

"Ah, that's okay! How about selling the remaining two and a half?"

"Sell!"

Chai Liangyu looked at Chai Shao with a smile, "Boss, let's keep one end at home, and give some of the rest to your Uncle Yan and Uncle Li. Who in the village wants to give more. Er Ning, let's just settle the bill today?"

"Okay."

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? If you stay for two more days, you won't be able to rest your legs."

"Hey, it's been more than half a month since I came out. Something seems to have happened at home. I have to go home and take a look."

"Something happened at home? What happened?"

"I don't know either. Before I called, people in the village told me that there was something going on and it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Ang, let's go and go into the house first. The third daughter-in-law and your sister-in-law hurry up and light the fire, and the third brother goes to order some meat and serve it!"

"Got it!"

Chai Liangyu gave two orders, and a group of people got busy again.

Xu Ning, Wang Hu, Li Fuqiang and Chai Shao followed Chai Liangyu into the house.

He took out a small book from his pocket and squinted at the records on it. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, because the three of them in Xu Ning put it on the mountain.

The wild boar alone weighed 4635 kilograms. Although it was slightly less than 5000 kilograms, it was still a lot. People in the village got a lot, enough to eat until the end of the New Year.

其中黄毛子12头、老母猪9头、大刨卵子5头和大孤猪1头，平均每头171.66斤。

According to 1 cent per catty, the total income is 463.5 yuan.

Heixiazi weighs 360 kilograms, 2 yuan per kilogram, totaling 720 yuan.

There are also 26 jumping cats and 5 pheasants. At 155 yuan each, the total is 2 yuan. Add in the jumping cat skins that cost 52 yuan each, which is 155 plus 207 equals !

A total of 1390 yuan and 5 cents!

When Chai Liangyu told the final settlement figure, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu were shocked. They didn't expect that they had come to see each other for half a month and actually earned so much!

The truth is beyond their imagination.

When Chai Bing deducted the half deer left by Xu Ning, there were only 258 kilograms of two and a half deer left.

According to 8 hairs per catty, the total is 206 yuan and 4 hairs.

"Together, it's a total of 1600 yuan, right?"

Xu Ning was not polite about the extra three yuan, nodded and said with a smile: "I'm satisfied! Uncle, my three brothers can pay for it this time."

Chai Liangyu grinned and put away his notebook, "Isn't that what you are capable of? This little Xu Pao's reputation has been established for a long time. Boss, go to the village department to get the money!"

Chai Shao was stunned when he heard this and said, "Dad, I want to make some deer whip wine..."

Xu Ning turned around and said with a smile: "Brother, just keep the deer whip. What are you telling me?"

"That won't work. We agreed in advance, Dad?"

Chai Liangyu looked at his eldest son, narrowed his eyes and came back to his senses, "Ah, OK, Er Ning, how do you sell the deer whip outside?"

"I don't know, I've never sold this toy before. Why should I pay..."

"Hey! That's not right. We have already said it beforehand. Love is love, and every dollar is a dollar. If it's like this, I'll throw you fifty yuan. If it's too much or too little, it's just that!"

Xu Ning waved his hand: "Pull him down quickly! Master, if you do this, I won't sell it, and I won't leave you any entertainment."

Chai Liangyu was stunned and thought to himself: That's right. I haven't sold the bear paws, how can I still sell deer whip? I don’t have much money to play, so I always ask my children for money, and all the friendship I had just had is gone.

"...That's it."

Chai Liangyu nodded in response, then looked at Chai Shao and said angrily, "Go and withdraw the money. What are you thinking about?"

"Hey!" Chai Shao hurriedly stepped out after hearing the sound.

Next to them, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu looked at each other repeatedly. Their eyes could no longer be restrained. They couldn't stand in front of others. They couldn't do such useless things.

It's not that they feel bad that the bear's paws and deer whip haven't been sold at a high price. These two things cost twenty or thirty yuan these days. They can't make a family rich, so they might as well give it away as a favor. If the Chai family has any big jobs in the future, they'll have to pay for it. Looking for Xu Ning, can you not take them with you?

They were both surprised at the money they earned on this trip!

This is almost as much as the annual salary of three workers!

It's undoubtedly a huge sum of money. This time it's really a big deal!

How could they not be shocked? Although they had done it a while ago, they forgot about it as soon as they remembered it. They didn't expect that there would be so many in the end.

Not long after, Chai Shao ran back, handed the money in his hand to Xu Ning, and said, "It's 1700 yuan in total, including 100 yuan for your labor time. Check it quickly and we'll count it out in person."

Xu Ning suddenly realized, "Ah."

He took the money without any pretense and quickly checked the money with both hands.

Half of this money is unity, and the remaining half is change, including one cent.

After checking for a long time, he raised his head and said, "It's right! It's exactly right."

Chai Liangyu nodded with a smile: "That's okay, we men will have a good relationship in the future. I won't stop you from going home tomorrow, but you have to take something back, otherwise I can't take anything you leave for me."

"Ah, uncle, use the same trick I use against you, and use it against me?"

Chai Liangyu clapped his legs and laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, what's going on? You're such a scheming little brat, and I can't cure you yet? Just tell me whether you want it or not!"

"Yes! Then my uncle will bring you something. If I don't carry it, then I'm not a heretic."

"Yes, that's what it needs to be."

At this time, Xu Ning stood up and said, "Uncle, I will go back to the house and collect the money."

"Yeah, let's go."

Xu Ning turned around and walked toward the outhouse. Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu said hello to Chai Liangyu and his son, and followed closely.

When they arrived at the three people's house, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu just stood there jumping high, dancing and excited.

Xu Ning looked at them and smiled and said, "Okay, let's divide the accounts first."

Li Fuqiang froze in place, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, lit a cigarette and said: "Brother, we will divide it into four shares according to 1600. You will get two shares, and Huzi and I will each have one share."

"Second brother, you listened just now. Brother Chai said that the 100 hours of work was for you. Xu Pao also said the same thing at the beginning. Besides, if you didn't lead us here, we wouldn't be able to make money. "

"Then what are you talking about? We are just lagging behind our brothers..."

Xu Ning waved his hand, "Don't say that. I'm not going to fight you two on this matter. There's nothing wrong with me just taking 100."

"Nothing wrong!"
