Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 73: I'm so lucky, I'm envied! [Subscribe]

The villagers nodded in understanding. "We've taken them all to the county town to sell. They'll surely fetch a good price!"

It’s okay not to cook it at home, so that the aroma doesn’t spread out and become unbearable. After all, I haven’t smelled meat for a while.

Uncle Zhang evaded the question casually, "Wolfdog meat is not fat pork, how can it be sold at a good price?"

"I'll just sell it and use it as a way to supplement my family income."

After some explanation, they dispersed, making excuses for what they had to do.

Zhang Xingning approached Tan Shaoyang in confusion and asked, "Cousin, we sold it for a good price, why didn't you tell the truth?"

"If they knew we sell it at a high price of 90 cents per pound, they would definitely be envious."

Tan Shaoyang glanced at him. He was still too young to understand the wickedness of human nature. "Tell me the truth. If they know you've made a good profit, won't they be jealous?"

"Who wouldn't be envious if wolfdog meat could be sold at such a high price? Everyone would be jealous, and then everyone would run to the top of the mountain together."

"With so many people, do you think we can still hunt prey?"

"Be smarter and learn how to make a fortune quietly!"

"Speak half way, don't tell people everything clearly."

Zhang Xingning nodded in understanding.

"Cousin, let's continue going up the mountain to install the iron clamps!" After tasting the sweetness, he became addicted.

His tone was full of excitement, and he couldn't wait to set off.

Tan Shaoyang's face was full of confusion, "Xingning, the wolfhounds on the mountain are not raised by our family, you can't pretend to be one just because you want to."

"The little friend has just been hunted, so he will definitely be very alert. Even if you put out food, you may not be able to catch it."

Zhang Xingning didn't believe it. It would be a shame to not use such good wolfdog meat and internal organs.

"Let's give it a try. If you can't pretend to be a wolfdog, you can pretend to be a wild boar."

"Such a good kidney is definitely tempting to them."

Tan Shaoyang couldn't stand his nagging and had to agree. The two of them prepared their tools and went up the mountain again.

Tan Shaoyang had no hope, so he accompanied him on the trip.

I moved to another place, packed it up and left.

Zhang Xingning was very excited and enthusiastic. "The places I set up are where prey often appear. I think there will definitely be stupid prey that will take the bait."

"How can one resist the temptation of such delicious ingredients?"

After finishing the installation, I went home.

You have to wait and wait before you can reap any rewards.

Tan Shaoyang didn't have any hope at all. He just ate when he was hungry and slept when he was tired.

As a result, he was woken up in the middle of the night, and Zhang Xingwang was also implicated.

"Let's keep our voices down and don't call me dad tonight."

Tan Shaoyang was sleepy and didn't listen to his suggestion at all. He still woke people up.

He cannot take responsibility if anything goes wrong, so it is safer to have Uncle Zhang around. After all, he is a strong laborer and is more stable after years of experience.

Even if something really happens, I won't panic and be at a loss.

Uncle Zhang didn't make a fuss when he was woken up. He had just earned a few dozen dollars and could hold on no matter how tired he was. At this moment, he was as excited as these young people.

"Will I be able to gain anything tonight?" I don't dare to imagine it!
Tan Shaoyang shrugged, "If there is any gain, then make money. If there is no gain, then just take it as a stroll!"

Anyway, there is nothing to do during this period of time.

The three of them walked for more than half an hour and went up the mountain again.

Zhang Xingning led the way. After all, it was he who installed the iron cage, and he was the only one who knew its location.

We were very excited along the way.

When they got there, they found the trap in a mess. Even the iron cage was missing. As for the kidney that had been placed there earlier, there was no trace of it.

Zhang Xingning was confused. "What's going on? Could it be that someone took all our iron clamps away?"

Tan Shaoyang observed it carefully for a moment, pointed at the blood and said, "This must be your dream coming true. You are so lucky. There are traces of blood here. The iron clamp must have caught the prey."

"It's possible that the prey was relatively strong, and it dragged the iron clamp away."

Zhang Xingning couldn't help but grin after hearing this, "I said that such a delicious kidney would definitely be unbearable for prey."

"Let's follow the traces and look for it! If you're stuck, it will be extremely painful and you won't be able to walk far."

The group did not question and just followed.

Dragging the iron clamp, we could indeed not walk far, and traces were found a few hundred meters away.

Probably due to the unbearable pain and blood loss, he was unable to dodge far and his breath was weak.

Several people approached cautiously, and under the light they could see the shining eyes. They clenched their hands and surrounded the prey.

When you get closer, you can see it clearly under the light.

It turned out to be an immature wild boar. After its front legs were clamped, it ran forward desperately, but due to excessive hunger, it did not have the strength to escape too far.

The four of them worked together and quickly pinned the little wild boar, mainly because the little wild boar was too hungry and had no strength to escape.

"It's a good thing we found it, otherwise the wild boar would have been picked up by someone else."

"Next time you install the iron clamp, you have to lock it firmly, otherwise you won't be able to find it if you run too far."

Imprisoned and carried back. From time to time, the miserable cries of wild boars were heard.

The villagers heard it and came over to watch.

After all, the Zhang family had just hunted a wolfdog, and people were wondering if they had caught prey again?
With this idea in mind, everyone wants to find out the truth.

After watching it, I was so envious!

I just got two wolfhounds and now I’m carrying back a wild boar. How can I be so lucky?
Are there a lot of wild boars in the mountains?

No matter how unprofitable it is, if you sell it for 50 cents per pound, you can still make dozens of dollars!
You can’t even make that much just by selling rice in a year!

People gathered together in groups of three or four, and after doing some calculations, they all knew that the Zhang family had made money, and they were all excited at once.

If the Zhang family can go hunting, they can go too!

Others are making money secretly while they are just lying at home sleeping. Just thinking about it makes me jealous!

The group discussed whether they should also go and hunt for prey.
The result was directly rejected.

"Have you forgotten about going to dig coal? No one from the Zhang family went. You must be heartbroken to see so much money slipping away. Shouldn't you think of ways to make money?"

"The prey is so easy to catch. Didn't you see those four strong men passing by?"

"If I'm not careful, I might not catch the prey, but I might get seriously injured. I'd better prepare to go dig coal and make money!"

"We don't need to be jealous of Lao Zhang. He will be jealous of us. How many preys does he have to catch to earn 50 yuan a month? We think we are more secure."

"I don't know what Lao Zhang is thinking. Hunting is more risky, but he doesn't want to go mining. He actually refuses the offer of 50 yuan a month."

"As for the labor force in his family, two people could earn 100 a month in the past. If it were me, I would definitely not waste the opportunity."

"Who says it's not? I don't understand what he's thinking."

The villagers consoled themselves, and although they were still a little jealous, they suppressed their jealousy. After all, they could make more money by mining coal.

The Zhang family didn't know about this and were excitedly discussing how to distribute the wild boar.

My family members are so craving for meat that they can’t sell it all and have to keep some for themselves.

You have to make money, but you also have to eat.

Finally, they decided that each family would keep a few pounds and sell the rest in the village. But who could guarantee that they would be able to hunt more fish later?

When they returned home, the weather was gloomy and lightning flashed across the sky, giving a feeling that a storm was about to come.

It's really going to rain.

"Hurry back, it looks like it's going to rain."

The four of them hurried home. It was the middle of the night and time to go to bed.

At daybreak, Tan Shaoyang got up and slaughtered the wild boar with Uncle Zhang. The family kept five pounds and sold the rest.

I can’t sell it at a high price in the village, and it’s inconvenient to go out in this weather, so I just sell it to the villagers. We all know them, and I can sell it at a lower price as a favor.

The villagers gathered around the wild boar stall and said eagerly, "Mr. Zhang, your two children are quite capable. Thanks to them, we didn't see the wolfhounds coming out to bite the chickens at night."

"Wolfhounds are smart. Usually when they hear something and come out to investigate, the target has already run away. It's a good thing if you can hunt more wolfhounds!"

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "The wolfhound is very smart. It took a lot of food to get it. There was no trace of it last night. It may have hidden itself."

"She's very smart. You can't pretend just because you want to."

After some conversation, the wild boar meat sold very quickly, mainly because it was cheap. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of a bargain?
A pound of pork costs 90 cents, and you can save 20 cents to buy soy sauce. People who are good at calculating will grit their teeth and buy it.

You take a pound and I take a pound, and they are all sold out by the time we have breakfast.

It’s only because we haven’t eaten meat for a long time that it sells out so quickly. Plus, people like to follow trends. If your family can eat meat, my family can too, and we can’t be outdone.

Wild boar meat is sold with this kind of comparative mentality.

After all, you don’t eat it every day, so it’s okay to have it occasionally.

After finishing his breakfast, Tan Shaoyang took his share of the money and without staying for long, put the half-dried mugwort in the car, along with 5 kilograms of wild boar meat and a large bag of sweet potatoes, and headed home.

The main thing is that they have been running for two nights, so they must be alarmed.

We were lucky last night. It won’t be that easy to catch the prey again.

He still had to go back and see if Mr. Tan had recovered, and he didn't plan to delay too long.

Besides, it is easy to catch good goods in strong winds and waves, and the good opportunity to make money cannot be missed. The opportunity only comes once every two or three months, so the villagers will definitely go out.

Zhang Xingning followed excitedly. He also wanted to follow and could not be left behind.

"Cousin, there's me too. You can't forget about me. You said you would take me to eat something delicious."

Tan Shaoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are not a three-year-old child anymore, just follow me, how can I forget you?"

One person rode half of the way and then went home slowly.

As soon as we got home, strong winds and huge waves arose.

They mainly live by the sea, and the effect is more obvious when strong winds and waves come. The wind is blowing and the coconut leaves are fluttering in the wind.

Zhang Xingning was so excited that he didn't even blink.

"Cousin, the wind has to be strong at the seaside!"

Tan Shaoyang ignored him. It was nothing new to him after seeing so many of them. He pushed the cart home and packed up what needed to be packed.

Mr. Tan has recovered from his illness, the eldest and second sons have also returned, the family is together and the house is very lively!
