Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 88 Picking up wild deer antlers at a bargain price!

The "branch" felt heavy in his hand. Before Shen Xing could react, the familiar metal prompt sound rang in his mind again.

Soon, a warm current surged in his body, flowing through his limbs and bones, and his brain was filled with a lot of knowledge about the animals and plants in Changbai Mountain.

[Considering that the "earn 10,000 yuan a day" mission was completed within two hours, the host is given an extra reward: a 20-year mountaineering reward! ]

Soon, there was another prompt tone!

Another warm current flowed through Shen Xing's body, making him feel comfortable all over.

Now, Shen Xing is equivalent to an old mountaineer with more than 20 years of mountain climbing experience!

He lowered his head to look at the "branch" again, and his mind suddenly became clear, and he easily recognized the true appearance of the "branch"!
"Deer antlers! They are from wild sika deer!"

Shen Xing's face lit up with joy. He checked the sharp "branch" in his hand and recognized it as the antler that fell off from the "National No. 1" sika deer in Changbai Mountain!
Shen Xing looked at the broken end of the antler. The cut was smooth and the bloody texture was clear. It was obviously a fresh antler, which had just been shed by a sika deer not long ago.

"We've made a fortune this time. This fresh deer antler alone is more valuable than the wild delicacies my dad and I picked up today!" Shen Xing was delighted.

The Northeast has three treasures: ginseng, sable fur and ula grass, but this is an old saying and is now outdated.

The three treasures of Northeast China now are ginseng, sable fur and deer antlers!
Especially the wild deer antlers, Changbai Mountain brand, they are worth a lot of money!
Ordinary deer antlers have four grades: special grade, grade one, grade two and grade three. Special grade is the most expensive and grade three is the cheapest.

The top grade can be sold for up to 2,000 yuan per kilogram, and the third grade can be sold for up to 600 yuan per kilogram.

But if it is wild antlers, especially the antlers from wild sika deer in Changbai Mountain, the price would have to be doubled or tripled!
Because of the hunting ban, sika deer are not allowed to be hunted now. This thing is in short supply, so it is very rare!

The antlers currently on the market are all artificially bred ones. The medicinal effects of the antlers are far inferior to those of wild ones, so their prices are not as expensive as wild antlers.

But wild deer antlers are not easy to get. If hunting is not allowed, where can we cut the antlers?

The last time Tiger Mom came down the mountain and gave Shen Xing some elk meat, it was a baby deer, and its horns hadn’t grown yet. Otherwise, if it was an adult deer, after cutting off the pair of horns, it could be sold for at least tens of thousands of dollars!
The wild sika deer antler in Shen Xing's hand is heavy, at least two kilograms. Two kilograms is four catties. According to the purchase price doubled, these four catties of antlers can be sold for twelve thousand yuan!
"No wonder the task of 'earning 10,000 a day' was completed so quickly. Just picking up this one antler is enough." Shen Xing's mouth curled up.

He was about to go down the mountain with his father, but on the way back, he unexpectedly found a big gold coin. This was a pleasant surprise!

After absorbing the "encyclopedia" and the "twenty years of experience in mountain hunting", Shen Xing's eyesight is now no less than that of his father Shen Dahai. He can estimate the value of the four-pound wild sika deer antler in his hand without any mistake.

"Dad, what do you think this is?"

Shen Xing turned around and shook the "branch" in his hand at his father Shen Dahai.

Shen Dahai was walking behind Shen Xing and saw his son almost fall. He originally wanted to warn him, but now he saw Shen Xing turn around, holding a black branch, and asked him what it was.

He spoke without hesitation:
"It's just a branch, what else could it be?"

"Dad, take another good look."

Shen Xing smiled and handed over the "branch".

Shen Dahai took it and felt it was heavy in his hand. He asked curiously:

"Why is this branch so heavy..."

He looked down and found that the surface of this black "branch" was covered with fine hairs, which was a bit prickly.

"Hey, this is..."

Suddenly, Shen Dahai exclaimed:
"Is this a deer antler? A sika deer antler?"

Shen Dahai's face flushed and he was visibly excited.

Seeing his father like this, Shen Xing knew that he had not estimated the value of the deer antlers. They were indeed much more valuable than those wild delicacies!

"Son, did you pick this up?" Shen Dahai asked excitedly.

Shen Xing shook his head and replied:
"To be precise, this antler was discovered by Xiao Hei."

Shen Xing remembered that just now, when he kicked the deer's antlers and was about to fall, Xiao Hei barked a few times, which was to remind him.

Moreover, when there were still 2,000 yuan left in the "earn 10,000 yuan a day" task, when he picked up this deer antler, he directly completed the task to the maximum, which means that this deer antler was discovered by Xiao Hei.

"Well done, Xiao Hei. I'll give you a chicken drumstick when I get back!"

Shen Dahai nodded excitedly. This Xiao Hei was indeed their family's treasure-hunting beast. He actually managed to pick up a wild deer antler!
This is one of the "three treasures" of Northeast China. In terms of value, it can compete with ginseng!
Of course, let alone the ginseng grandfather who has been around for decades, the ginseng grandson can still give you a fight!

Shen Dahai took out a piece of red cloth from his camouflage pants, put it on the ground, then carefully placed the antler on it and wrapped it with the red cloth.

Deer antlers are the most precious mountain delicacy and have to be wrapped in red cloth. This is a custom passed down from generation to generation by the old mountain herders.

Just like when a couple gets married, they give gifts in red envelopes to bring good luck and happiness. The same is true for wrapping the deer antlers in red cloth.

It is a great fortune for Shen Dahai and his son to see this deer antler today. They are extremely lucky. It means that they will have good luck in the future. May the God of Wealth bless them.

"Dad, what are you going to do with this antler?" Shen Xing asked curiously when he saw his father being so serious and wrapping the antler with red cloth.

"This thing is hard to come by, so I can't sell it to Lao Duan. I'll go to the market later to see if there's a boss who knows the value of it." Shen Dahai said.

Wild antlers are in short supply and very precious. In addition, hunting is banned in Changbai Mountain now, unlike more than ten years ago. Deer antlers like these are hard to find even with a lantern.

If anyone has one, even if it's just three or two, the bosses will fight over it!

Why? It's simple, because these bosses have too many social events, eat too many delicacies, and hang out with women, which leads to a decline in energy and insufficient kidney qi. They don't like to exercise and don't control themselves in time, so they just want to eat some tonic food and then continue to indulge.

Among these “tonic substances”, ginseng and deer antlers are naturally the first choice.

Of course, the ginseng must be wild ginseng of some age. The garden ginseng the size of a radish and the Codonopsis pilosula are just fine, and their efficacy is just so-so. The artificial deer antler has some effect, but these bosses have eaten too much and have become immune to it, so they can't replenish the kidney energy. They have to eat wild deer antler, which finally has some effect and can replenish the kidney energy.

When Shen Xing heard this, he felt that what his father said made sense. Such precious wild deer antlers would be a "family heirloom" in the village. If it were sold to a mountain product dealer like Lao Duan, the price would definitely be suppressed. It would be a waste of money to suppress the price. It would be better to go to the big market and wait for a big boss who has a discerning eye for goods!

"Dad, let me remind you that this antler weighs four pounds. You should cut it up and sell it in batches. Also, you must say that this is our family heirloom, understand?"

Shen Xing has now absorbed twenty years of experience in mountaineering and is now an experienced mountaineer who knows how to sell the antlers safely.

After all, this is the antler of the "National No. 1" Changbai Mountain Sika Deer. It is illegal to sell it privately at the price of "National No. 1".

However, if it can be proved that this "deer antler" was from before the hunting ban and before the official release of the Wildlife Protection Law, then that's a different story. There will be no problem selling it.

"I know. Your father is also a mountain herder after all. Do you need me to say that?" Shen Dahai said unhappily.

What’s going on? My son has only been working in the mountains for a few days. He’s a novice, but he’s teaching me?

Shen Xing smiled and turned his gaze away from the deer antlers wrapped in red cloth.

"Don't worry, Dad will sell it for you, and I'll save the money from the sale of the antlers for you to help you find a wife in the future!" Shen Dahai said with a smile, and carefully put the sika deer antler wrapped in a red envelope into the backpack and covered it with sackcloth.

As parents, we don’t have many wishes, we just hope that our son can get married and start a family as soon as possible.

Shen Xing didn't say anything, but the tall figure in a white lace top and beige skirt suddenly flashed through his mind.

While he was deep in thought, the phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated. Shen Xing took it out, unlocked the screen and looked at it.
What a coincidence, it was the voice call from the young policewoman Jiang Shan.

"Hello? What's wrong with Officer Jiang?" Shen Xing answered the phone casually.

Jiang Shan's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Veterinarian Shen, have you seen my grandmother's cow? My grandmother's cow is lost!"

"The cow is lost?" Shen Xing was stunned. Why is everything so strange recently? Tigers, dogs and cows are lost. Why are they all looking for me? Am I a detective in the animal world? Can you help me find the cow?
"If the cow is lost, why don't you just call 110 to report it? Oh, I forgot you are the police." Shen Xing replied indifferently.

"I just thought that since you were the one who saved the cow, it might come looking for you." Jiang Shan replied.

"I was chasing the mountain, I didn't see it."

"By the way, is the lost one the heifer that ate rat poison?" Shen Xing asked curiously.

"Not only it, but also those two old cows."

"Okay, okay, tell grandma not to worry, I'll see if I can help look for it."

"Officer Jiang, thank you so much!" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became excited.

...Shen Xing hung up the phone with a strange look on his face. How did the little cow and her family of three get lost?

Isn't the cattle pen locked? The cow's nose is still tied with a rope, how can it be thrown away just like that?

"Could it be... another case of cattle theft?"

Shen Xing frowned, looking strange, and felt that this matter was not simple.

"Forget it. Let Xiao Hei go look for its mother. Let Da Long mobilize his hundred or so minions to see if he can find it."

The young policewoman took the initiative to call him for help, and Shen Xing couldn't refuse. Besides, the reward money also depended on the young policewoman's help, so he couldn't refuse. He thought about asking Dalong's little brothers.

The two old oxen were carrying the heifer that had just recovered from an illness. At that speed, they couldn't walk far. As long as it hadn't been stolen, they would probably be able to find it by searching in the surrounding villages.

"Son, who is it? You look so worried?"

"Did your girlfriend call?"

Shen Dahai smiled, leaned over and asked with a gossipy look on his face.

"What girlfriend? This is a police colleague from the Criminal Police Brigade!" Shen Xing explained.

"Meow~"

"Squeak~"

"Wang!"

As soon as Shen Xing explained, the three little beasts cried out in unison.

These three little animals had obviously seen with their own eyes Shen Xing and the police officer walking side by side, talking and laughing on the road in the next village.

Shen Dahai was a smart man. After taking a glance at these three clever little animals, he knew there was a story behind them.

He couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked the question:
"Son, is this Officer Jiang a man or a woman? What does he want from you?"

"Look at you, why didn't you tell your mom that you were dating someone? Your mom would be so happy if she knew you were dating someone!"

"If you really want to talk, that's great. I've already told your Uncle Bai and asked him to talk to Stationmaster Deng. I want to introduce Dali's girl to you..."

When Shen Xing heard this, he was stunned. Why was there a female forest ranger?

"Dad, this matter..."

At this moment, the cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated again, beeping.

I received several voice messages on WeChat.

Shen Xing unlocked his phone and saw that it was a message from Dali, the forest ranger at Huling Station.

What a coincidence, it comes as soon as I said it!
"Are you asking me for help again?" Shen Xing had an ominous feeling. He always felt that people who took the initiative to call or send him voice messages were not good.

Shen Xing clicked on the voice message sent by Dali and put the phone jack to his ear.

"Shen Xing, can I trouble you for something? I have a sick Guoyi here. If you have time, can you come to the station to see him?"

Sure enough, this ranger asked me to treat the animals!

"Aren't you also a veterinarian? Can't you treat this disease?" Shen Xing sent a voice message.

"I can't treat it. This disease is a bit tricky. I can't cure it by myself. Stationmaster Deng has gone to the city to invite an expert. I'm alone in the station now. The animal's condition is very serious. I'm afraid it won't survive until the experts can get here." Dali's voice revealed urgency and anxiety.

"Okay then. I'll go there later and you can send me the specific location of the protection station." Shen Xing replied.

Shen Xing had never been to the forest ranger station on the mountain. Changbai Mountain has dense forests and a dangerous environment. Once you walk in, it's like entering a maze. Without an experienced old mountaineer to lead the way, it's impossible to get out.

Shen Xing is now a mountaineer with twenty years of experience in mountaineering. As long as he is given the detailed location of the protection station, he will be able to find it as soon as he enters the mountain.

drop----

The phone vibrated, and Dali sent me the specific geographical location of the Huling Station Nature Reserve.

"Who is this?" Shen Dahai asked curiously. He recognized the voice as that of a young woman, and it was very nice.

Is my son so popular among women? Today, two little girls came to him. He is so popular!
"It was Dali, the forest ranger on the mountain. She said that a national first-class protected animal was seriously ill and wanted me to go to the station to help check the disease."

Shen Xing was confused. What happened today? The police officer asked him to help find the cows, and the forest ranger asked him to help with the doctor. And they came one after the other, almost at the same time!

What a coincidence! What a coincidence!
The coincidence is like a test!

Shen Xing subconsciously looked at the deer antlers wrapped in red cloth in his father Shen Dahai's backpack, and couldn't help but ponder:

"Everything in the world has cause and effect. It seems that this great bargain is not picked up for nothing!"

Shen Xing let out a long sigh.

"Oh, it's Guoyi. This is serious."

Shen Dahai said with a serious expression.

He also knew Dali, the forest ranger in the mountain nature reserve. He had heard from his good brother Uncle Bai that he was a veterinarian who graduated from a key university. This "Guo Yi" was sick, and even her medical skills couldn't cure him. He asked his son Shen Xing to come, but would it work?

Shen Dahai knew his son very well. Although he saved the big mountain cat, pulled out its teeth and cured its dental disease, in Shen Dahai's opinion, his son Shen Xing's medical skills were only amateur level, and might not be as professional as that little girl named Dali.

But now, the forest ranger Dali actually took the initiative to send a voice message to Shen Xing, wanting Shen Xing to go to the forest ranger station on the mountain to rescue the seriously ill "Guoyi". Isn't this equivalent to indirectly admitting that Shen Xing's medical skills are better than Dali, a professional veterinarian who graduated from a key university?
But this shouldn’t be the case!

My son just learned some veterinary first aid knowledge from his keeper friends at a big city zoo.

Shen Dahai's mind is in a mess now, like paste, and he can't understand anything.

He hurriedly asked:

"Son, what do you think?"

"What else can you think of? Just go." Shen Xing said casually.

After listening to Dali's voice, the voice clearly revealed anxiety and panic. It can be seen that the seriously ill "Guoyi" is indeed terminally ill and in danger of death. Otherwise, Lao Deng would not have made a special trip to the city to invite an expert with better medical skills.

Shen Xing knew clearly what Dali was thinking. She must have come to him because she saw that he saved the fat lynx and cured its dental disease. Plus, there were few veterinarians in the villages near the nature reserve.

"By the way, isn't there a dragon veterinarian?" Shen Xing suddenly remembered the veterinarian in Shiwu Village mentioned by Jiang Shan's grandfather - the dragon veterinarian.

Veterinarian Long is also a doctor with excellent medical skills and has a good reputation in the nearby villages.

Why doesn’t this ranger Dali find the dragon veterinarian?
After thinking about it, Shen Xing sent a voice message to the forest ranger Dali.

"I remember there was a dragon veterinarian who was very good at medicine. Didn't you look for him?"

Half a minute later, the phone vibrated and Dali quickly replied.

"I have found him. Veterinarian Long is already heading up the mountain. However, I have contacted Veterinarian Long over the phone and told him about the animal's condition. Veterinarian Long did not withdraw and said he could not treat it."

When Shen Xing heard this, he was surprised and curious. What kind of serious illness could this "Guoyi" have that left two professional veterinarians helpless?

You know, Dali is a top student who graduated from a 985 key university with a degree in veterinary medicine. He received professional education and went to a veterinary research institute for two years of regular training after graduation. His medical skills are impeccable!

Not to mention Veterinarian Long, a local veterinarian in the countryside who has been treating animals for more than ten years. He has rich experience and his medical skills are unfathomable.

Even the two of them are helpless, what kind of serious illness has this "Guo Yi" contracted?
"Okay then. I'm on my way down the mountain. I'll be there soon. Put the things back home and I'll be there."

Shen Xing casually replied to the voice message and hung up the phone.

Now everything has been rushed together, but he has to go down the mountain first and do things one by one, there is no time to rush!
"First, go to the west end of the village to inform the second and third uncles!"

Shen Xing has not forgotten that the hunchbacked old lady stole a litter of wild boars!
Just as the two were halfway down the mountain, they suddenly heard several violent pig squeals behind them.

"It's those two big pigs. They found out that the child is missing!" Shen Dahai said anxiously.
