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

Chapter 830: Too much meat is also a problem
Upon hearing this, Wang An subconsciously looked at the dead pigs. Then, when he thought about what Wang Li said, he was completely dumbfounded.

The main reason is that for a lazy guy like Wang An, if it would take a whole night to skin and remove the flesh, it would be better to kill him directly.

If you count the little wild boars killed by the dogs, there are a total of 44 wild boars that need to be skinned and meated.

The key point is that this mud pit is located in the mountains, and four-wheel vehicles and hand tractors cannot drive through it. In other words, after skinning and removing the meat from the wild boars, the wild boar meat has to be carried down the mountain bit by bit.

Damn it! This guy is going to be exhausted to death!
Just like that, Wang An stared at the wild boar carcasses on the ground for a long time with his big eyes. After he came to his senses, he said with a troubled look on his face:

"Oh shit, this is such a huge project!"

I have to admit that it’s a worry when there’s no meat to eat, and it’s also a worry when there’s too much meat!

After thinking for a long time, Wang An said to Wang Li:
"Old Five, drive your four-wheeler back right now and tell my father about the situation here. Then have him bring all the helpers at home in the four-wheeler."

After a pause, Wang An continued:
"No, a four-wheeled vehicle cannot carry both people and pigs. So, when you come again, bring your hand tractor as well. Then have my father tie my geldings and my eldest son's horse to the vehicle and bring them here. And bring your four horses as well."

After pondering for a long time, Wang An said again:

"Okay, go ahead and I'll stay here and cut some meat to feed the dog."

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li did not move, but said with a look of shock on his face:
"Fourth brother, do you mean to ask them to take these wild boars back and skin and remove the meat?"

Wang An nodded when he heard this, and then said as if it was a matter of course:

"Yeah, it's a must. If so many people don't take advantage of it, wouldn't that be pure idiocy?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Li blinked several times very quickly, with a look of disbelief on his face.

It is obvious that Wang An's actions have completely shattered Wang Li's cognition.

It's clearly your job but you push it onto others. What the hell is this?
After a while, seeing that Wang Li was still in a daze and didn't move, Wang An said impatiently:
"Go quickly, what are you standing here staring at like an idiot?"

Wang Li came back to his senses and murmured:

"Is it appropriate for us to do this? They are here to help with the house repair. If we ask them to carry pigs from the mountain, will they come?"

The reason why Wang Li said he was carrying pigs was because Wang An's family had a total of 9 mules and horses, but 2 of the mares were pregnant and could not do heavy work.

As for Wang Li's family, there are a total of 4 horses.

In other words, all the working horses of the two families totaled only 11, but there were as many as 15 wild boars.

Besides these big wild boars, there are 36 little wild boars.

So it is obvious that the first thing these people have to do after entering the mountain is to carry the 36 little wild boars and the 4 big wild boars down the mountain.

You have to know that Wang An and his companions chased the dogs for more than half an hour before they found the group of wild boars, and that was when they were lightly equipped.

But if you are walking in the mountains where there are no roads, carrying a wild boar on your back or shoulder is not an easy task.

Carrying heavy loads and climbing mountains is the nightmare of almost all mountain dwellers. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!
Wang An glared at Wang Li and said:

"Look at you, you look like a bear. If you do this, you can just say what I said, that after the pigs are skinned and the meat is removed, each person will get 10 kilograms of pork, no, each person will get 20 kilograms. Fuck, you can't even do this, you idiot." After hearing what Wang An said, Wang Li smiled with a relaxed look on his face, and said with a smile:

"Well, if you put it that way, then it's easy. 20 kilograms of pork is worth about eight or nine yuan at the market now. They will definitely be very happy and rush over here."

What Wang Li said was correct. Because no one goes hunting in this season, the price of these wild animal meats that do not require a ticket has increased.

After all, although domestic pork is delicious, it not only requires a ticket, but is also limited in quantity. Each person can only buy one or half a pound of pork with a meat ticket, and you are not allowed to buy it.

Therefore, in this season, meat is a scarce commodity, and a moderate price increase is only natural.

After Wang Li finished speaking, Wang An muttered:
"If that's the case, aren't we giving too much? These wild boars are so skinny, I think it's good enough to get four or five pieces of braised pork. And if these 15 big wild boars weigh an average of 200 kilograms each, then at most we can get 1400 kilograms of meat."

At this point, Wang An suddenly asked:
"How many of these people are there working in my house?"

Wang Li frowned and thought for a long time before he said uncertainly:
"I think there are 24 or 25."

After Wang Li finished speaking, Wang An muttered again:
"If there are 25 men, that's 500 kilograms in total. The sisters-in-law and the two widows should also share some of the weight."

After mumbling for a long time, Wang An said:

"Okay, let's pass it on. Each person gets 20 kilograms. After dividing it, there will still be more than 800 kilograms of meat and these 36 small corn cobs left. That's fine."

After Wang An finished speaking, he started muttering again.

The main reason is that it is really difficult to hunt some prey during this season. If you don’t plan carefully, it will be hard to bear.

But then again, if you don't work hard or don't work enough, no one will work for you.

In general, it is necessary to find a good balance so that the people who help with the work are satisfied without suffering too much loss yourself.

Otherwise, the relationships among the relatives in the village will be torn apart if you are not careful.

Although we all live our own lives and don't care about these social conventions, it's not worth it to ruin the relationship over such a small matter.

Thinking of this, Wang An said:
"Then you better hurry back, run quickly, don't delay, or these old pigs will be ruined."

Wang Li nodded without answering and ran back.

You know what, it runs quite fast.

After Wang Li left, Wang An was not idle either. He took his dagger and ran towards the nearest wild boar.

As long as the prey is caught, the mountain dogs must not be treated unfairly no matter what time it is.

But this time, Wang An did not feed the dog with meat, but with wild boar offal.

For dogs, wild boar's heart, liver and lungs are much better than wild boar meat, but for humans, wild boar's internal organs in this season cannot be kept.

Therefore, feeding dogs with wild boar offal is absolutely the right thing to do.
