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

Chapter 764 Huge Expenses
In the past two days, most of the meat of two black bears, one big and one small, has been eaten.

The price of cornmeal was decreasing even faster. Wang Dazhu had prepared 3000 kilograms of cornmeal and 300 kilograms of flour for the whole spring, and almost one third of them had been eaten.

Moreover, as the number of helpers increased, the amount of black bear meat decreased at a faster rate. It was estimated that it would be difficult to get three meals a day tomorrow.

I have to say that although more people mean more strength and more work, more people also mean more food!
A 50-jin bag of flour, two and a half bags of corn flour for one meal, plus more than 10 kilograms of white flour, were all eaten up.

However, Wang An's family provides three meals a day, and the speed at which the food is consumed can be called horrific!

Not counting meals, the cigarette consumption rate was also quite high. Although Wang An bought the cheapest Da Shengchan and Grape cigarettes, if each person smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, that would still mean six or seven packs of cigarettes.

To be honest, ordinary people really cannot afford such huge expenses.

There is no other way. The main thing is that they came to help voluntarily, and we can't chase them back. In the countryside, even the village head wouldn't dare to do that!

I'm not exaggerating at all. If Wang An's family dares to drive away those who come to help voluntarily, their reputation in Kaoshantun will plummet in an instant.

In the future, if there is any work that requires help from everyone, no one will pay attention to you. To put it bluntly, when Wang An's family strolls around the village in the future, no one will greet them.

There's nothing wrong with helping you with some work and getting some good food for your benefit. You're a good person.

But I took the initiative to go to your house to help out, and then you chased me away because of food problems! Shit, who the hell are you looking down on?

To say this, it is actually Wang Dazhu's fault, because it was Wang Dazhu who made too many promises before the construction started, promising three meals a day, and that every meal would be full and have meat.

And the most important thing is that Wang Dazhu did not say how many people would be enough.

This resulted in more people coming on the second day than on the first day.

Fortunately, with the current strength of the Wang An family, this kind of expense is nothing.

The only problem is that even if you have money, you have nowhere to buy meat, so you have to go into the mountains to hunt.

After sending off the helpers in the evening, Liu Guilan said to Wang An with a worried and troubled look on her face:
"Xiao An, we have enough meat for two meals tomorrow, but we won't have any meat to eat tomorrow night. How about you take Lao Wu to wander around in the mountains tomorrow?"

Wang An saw the sad face of his mother, so he smiled and comforted her:
"Mom, why are you so worried about this? If I go into the mountains, I'll have everything back. It'll be easy to get some meat. Don't worry, Lao Wu and I will go into the mountains early tomorrow and won't delay the meat stew in the evening."

Wang Li also interrupted and said:
"Yeah, don't worry, old auntie. My fourth brother and I are very good at shooting. We can destroy anything we hit, hehehehehe."

When Liu Guilan heard this, the sadness on her face disappeared, and only worry remained.

After all, everyone in the mountains knows that going into the mountains to hunt at this season is both dangerous and difficult.

So, Liu Guilan rolled her eyes at Wang An and Wang Li and said:

"Don't think that just because I can't hunt, I don't know how hard it is to hunt now. I'm telling you two, just wander around the village tomorrow and hunt whatever you come across. If you don't, come back quickly."

I can tell that I'm really worried about the safety of Wang An and Wang Li.

After a pause, Liu Guilan said to Wang An:
"If all else fails, we can just kill the sheep. Besides, we still have a donkey at home. I don't think our donkey is of much use. It's useless to give birth to a donkey. We can just kill it and eat its meat so we don't have to worry about it."

When Wang An heard that his mother wanted to kill the donkey, his eyes lit up instantly. Not to mention the donkey, even if it was to kill the mule, Wang An would not object at all. The main reason was that the donkey at home was really useless, because this donkey had never done any work since it came to Wang An's house.

But the 2 kilograms of feed are not missed for a single day. Until now, it has barely broken even a loss. The reason for this is that it gave birth to a donkey foal.

Therefore, Wang An immediately gave Liu Guilan a thumbs up and said happily:

"Mom, you are so wise. The donkey should have been killed and eaten long ago. Oh, and the mule. The mule is good for meat, but it doesn't even know what a shaleng is. So, when is the right time for us to kill the donkey?"

However, although Wang An was speaking excitedly, Liu Guilan was suddenly stunned, and then Liu Guilan said with a bad face:

"Why are you killing a donkey? You just believe everything you hear. Look at the people who live there. Who would kill a big animal for meat? Are you a tiger?"

It is worth noting that the word "tiger" mentioned by Liu Guilan is not a noun, but an adjective.

The local word "虎" means "stupid", "foolish", "idiot", "country bumpkin", etc.

Wang An, who was full of excitement, was suddenly scolded and immediately lost his excitement. He glanced at Liu Guilan and said with indignation:
"You said you wanted to kill the donkey, but I didn't say that."

I just noticed that Liu Guilan's expression was not very good, and Wang An's voice was getting smaller and smaller.

But even so, Liu Guilan had no intention of letting Wang An go. She took two steps forward, grabbed Wang An's arm, and slapped Wang An twice on the back.

At the same time, Liu Guilan said with an unhappy look on her face:
"I let you talk back, I let you talk back."

After two slaps, Wang An immediately became obedient and begged for mercy with a smile:
"Mom, mom, mom, I was wrong, mom, mom"

After slapping Wang An twice, Liu Guilan pointed at Wang An's nose and said:
"If you dare to mention killing donkeys and mules again, I will cut you."

Wang Anka closed her eyes and didn't dare to speak. The main reason was that you really couldn't deal with my bad temper.

However, everyone who saw this scene lowered their heads and shrugged their shoulders.

Of course, only Comrade Wang Dazhu laughed blatantly, saying as he laughed:
"This brat deserves a beating. I've been thinking about giving him a beating these past two days."

I have to say that when it comes to beating children, probably all parents in the world can form a united front.

There was no words all night, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn.

After breakfast, Wang An and Wang Li each rode on two horses and led the dogs into the mountains.

This time, their goal was very clear, which was the wild boar forest not too far from home.

Because of the terrain, wild boars live in the Wild Boar Forest all year round. However, this place is like Wild Boar Ridge and is not very suitable for hunting.

Fortunately, because of Li Biao, Wang An is quite familiar with this place.
