Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1060: Earning Money by Accidental Strikes
After Wang An walked away, Li Youcai said to Sun Dafu:

"Uncle Sun, the head of the cannon egg I'm standing on is a little big, not like the one Li Tie's wife said."

After Li Youcai finished speaking, Sun Dafu just smiled, without showing any surprise, and said:
"Well, I've seen the head of the wild boar king. It's not much bigger than the pig head he brought over. The cannonball that those two brothers killed must have weighed at least 700 to 800 kilograms."

No wonder there is an old saying that people become more cunning as they get older. Sun Dafu at this moment demonstrated this point very vividly.

Sun Dafu knew clearly that the cannon egg that Wang An killed was not the one that killed Li Tie, but he never said it out loud. Not only did he not say it out loud, he also cooperated very well and gave the 10 acres of wasteland to Wang An.

Upon hearing this, Li Youcai looked at Sun Dafu in shock, then blinked and said:

"Then let's just give the 10 acres of land to them. What if someone else competes for it? Don't let anything go wrong."

Sun Dafu said nonchalantly:

"If you encounter a 400-500-jin cannon egg before entering the mountain, people still have a chance to escape, just like Li Tie. But if you encounter a 700-800-jin cannon egg in the mountain, who can escape?"

After a pause, Sun Dafu pointed at the pig head left by Wang An and said in an excited tone:

"Look at this pig's head. Even a 56mm can't penetrate it. If someone goes into the mountains and runs into this bastard, what can they do?"

Hearing Sun Dafu's words, Li Youcai's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

As the ridge island in the village, more than a quarter of the people in the village have the surname Li. Therefore, there is a one in four chance that the person who encounters this cannon egg after entering the mountain will be a member of the Li family. As the leader of the Li family, Li Youcai will definitely be worried about the safety of the entire Li family.

So, Li Youcai nodded and said:
"Well, if Xiaotie runs into this idiot this time, there's a good chance he won't be able to come back."

What Li Youcai didn’t know was that it wasn’t “an 80% chance of failure”, but that he would definitely not be able to come back.

You should know that when Wang An killed the Cannon Egg, there was something wrong with the Cannon Egg and it was very hostile to humans.

Sun Dafu pointed at the bullet holes on the pig's head and eyes and said:

"Look at the shooting skills of these two guys. How terrible. They fired 4 shots at the forehead and 2 shots at the eyes. Even the old Xiao Pao from Sujiatun doesn't have such skills."

Li Youcai nodded and said:
"Yeah, it's really evil. There's nothing wrong with giving them these 10 acres of land."

After Wang An left the garrison, he went straight home.

The main thing is the pig grit, which needs to be processed simply. If it is soaked in bile liquid all the time, all the pig grit will be wasted.

Wang An suddenly came home, and Mu Xueqing was naturally surprised. She immediately asked:

"Why are you back? Where's Lao Wu? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Wang An pinched Mu Xueqing's little face and said with a smile:
"He hasn't come back yet. He's still in the mountains. We've got some good stuff. I'll send it back first. Otherwise, if we wait too long, it'll be wasted."

Seeing that Wang An was returning with something and nothing had happened, Mu Xueqing asked with a smile:
"Good stuff? What good stuff? You have to come back specially for that."

Wang An smiled mysteriously, took out the small cloth bag containing the pig's gallbladder, and said:

"Have you heard of pig sand? Let me tell you, this thing is very valuable, almost as valuable as the golden gallbladder of a black bear." Wang An wanted to explain, but Mu Xueqing interrupted him:
"I know pig gizzard, and I also know the three treasures of traditional Chinese medicine."

Wang An pinched Mu Xueqing's cheek again and said with a smile:
"Oh my, you know a lot, hahahaha"

It must be said that Mu Xueqing stays at home for a long time and doesn't get much sun, so her little face is white and tender, and it's easy to pinch.

Mu Xueqing rolled her eyes at Wang An and said:

"It's all written in the old books at home. Besides, many of the medicines my father used to take were dug by my mother, Xueli and I in the mountains. I know more about herbs than you do."

In this day and age, herbal medicine is still the main treatment. As for the medicines that need to be taken all year round, many people go into the mountains to collect herbs themselves in order to save money. They will only choose to buy the herbs that are not available locally or are relatively difficult to obtain.

Mu Hua had been taking medicine for many years, so it was normal for Mu Xueqing and her two daughters to do this.

Wang An smiled when he heard that, pinched Mu Xueqing's face again, and then continued walking into the house.

Wang An took a small stack of straw paper from under the coffee table and spread it on the coffee table. Then he took the gallbladder and walked to the back room. He carefully poured the gallbladder liquid into the swill bucket and then walked back to the coffee table.

Wang An cut a hole in the gallbladder skin with scissors and poured the pig litter inside onto dry straw paper.

It is very simple to deal with pig litter, and the method is exactly the same as that for dealing with bezoar, horse gallstones and dog gallstones.

The main thing is to wipe off the bitter bile liquid on it, then scrape off the thin film or mucus membrane on it, and finally put it in a ventilated and cool place to dry.

The last point is very important. It must be dried in the shade. If it is dried in the sun or in an oven, cracks will appear on it, and it will affect the price and efficacy.

There are more than 60 grains of pig sand in the entire gallbladder skin, large and small. The largest one is as big as a soybean, while the smallest one is smaller than a millet grain.

But this is normal. After all, pig gizzard is actually pig gallstones. It is definitely impossible for them to be all the same size.

Of course, it's not just pig gizzard that is like this. Bezoar, horse gallstones, etc. are the same. Not only are their sizes different, but even their quantities and shapes are different.

For example, the amount of bezoar in a cow's body is completely uncertain. The amount may be more than 1 liang, or more than 50 grams, but the amount may be only a few grams, or even less than 1 gram.

As for the shape, of course, most are round or oval, but there are also triangular, square, or flake and powdery ones.

But these are all normal without exception.

It took half an hour to process the pig litter, mainly because the membrane on the top was not easy to remove.

After processing, Wang An weighed the pig litter on a plate scale at home, and it was about 3 taels.

According to the 3:1 ratio of dried weight in the shade, the pig litter would be almost the same even if it is less than one or two ounces after drying in the shade.

The price of this kind of pure natural pig grit is comparable to that of bezoar, which means that this pig grit is worth eight or nine hundred yuan!

It’s hard to imagine that you can make so much money by accident.
