Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 256: Winter Blessings, Searching for the Dragon Veins in China

Killing cattle and deer is a technical job, so Li Jinyu, Li Yucheng, Jiang Jianguo and others naturally came to help and provide guidance.

When Li Xiang captured these Wagyu cattle and sika deer, he threw them alive into the system warehouse. They died immediately after entering. When they were taken out now, they were in almost the same state as when they died in seconds, which means that the step of "killing" was omitted. Their blood was still warm, so it was still in time to bleed them.

Moreover, Li Xiang's "killing" steps were too swift, and the animals died before they could even react. It can be said that they were not frightened much during their lifetime, and the quality of their meat was thus preserved very well.

There is a large amount of scientific data showing that subcutaneous hemorrhage, bites from fights, limb injuries and sudden death caused by livestock transportation are extremely common. The transportation process and the process before slaughter are highly stressful for livestock, and stress will induce adverse physiological reactions. These will result in a lot of white muscles and black and dry meat after livestock are slaughtered. This type of meat is classified as inferior meat in the commodity classification.

However, the batch of Wagyu beef and pork belly that Li Xiang brought out did not have such a problem.

Wagyu beef is a top ingredient in Japanese cuisine, and Li Xiang picked beef from well-known production areas, such as Kobe beef, Matsusaka beef, and Omi beef. These Wagyu beef are usually A5 grade, with delicate, soft, uniform meat and beautiful marble patterns.

The whole body of the sika deer is a treasure, including deer meat, deer blood, deer antlers, deer glue (made from deer bones and deer skins), deer penis, deer tail, deer tendons... Many parts of the deer have the effect of strengthening yang and tonifying the kidneys.

Although everyone was curious about where Li Xiang got these cows and deer, no one asked much. No one was stupid, and everyone vaguely guessed that Li Xiang might have some magical powers.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the barren mountains behind the village suddenly had many more paths and steps, and even some stone arch bridges over the mountain streams, and they were all extremely beautifully built.

How Li Xiang obtained his two military merits and the rank of major remains a mystery.

Anyway, Li Xiang is generous in distributing New Year's gifts, so let's all enjoy it together. Some people are still complaining while eating, do you still want to eat?

This activity lasted for more than half a month, and a total of 32 Japanese cattle, 57 sika deer, and eight wild boars were killed. It can be said that the cattle and deer were killed overtime, and sometimes bonfires were lit at night, and the work was in full swing.

Then Li Xiang found a few more large pots, which were the same cooking utensils used to cook Ding wine before, and asked the young men in the village to help stew meat and various offal. He also added high-quality Korean ginseng. He stewed three large pots every day and asked the villagers to bring bowls to serve.

For some people who have difficulty walking, Lei Jiaming and others were asked to load and deliver the items directly.

Lei Jiaming was originally from Leijiagou, but he worked in Lijiacun every day. He was more familiar with Lijiacun than Leijiagou. He knew the name of each household, how many people there were, and how to address them.

It is said to take a bowl, but some people will directly take a basin, like Li Jintang.

But for Li Jinyu's sake, Li Xiang didn't mind, anyway, every household had enough. The big pot of meat and the lively scene of slaughtering pigs, deer and cattle made the villagers who worked outside the province envious and cry.

It's a pity that they can only eat box lunches worth a dozen yuan in sweatshops outside the city. Although there is free soup, it is basically just water with some chopped green onions sprinkled here and there, and no eggs or shredded meat. They are nothing like the people in the village who eat such delicious food every day.

I have to say that eating Korean ginseng stewed with meat in the cold and snow in the middle of winter is especially good for replenishing qi and blood. Several middle-aged women who used to have sallow complexions became rosy-faced and in better complexions after eating it for seven or eight days, and they were no longer so afraid of the cold.

The extra cowhide and deerskin are also good things. They can be used to cover drum heads, make clothes, boots or gloves, etc.

The beef, venison and wild boar meat were distributed to the villagers, 50 kilograms per family, with some bones as a bonus.

After sharing so many good things, every household in Lijia Village was delighted. After learning about the event, many people who worked outside the village called to express their gratitude to Li Xiang.

Jiang Jian had a special relationship with the country and received much more than other villagers.

Then Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui and other employees of the company naturally also had a share.

Several trusted confidants also got more, especially Yao Yao, who was in the critical period of "growth", so Li Xiang specially gave her three Wagyu beef and six Sika deer, all of which were good meat that had been butchered without any scraps, and were presented in large chunks for her to transport easily.

Of course, she also asked for some good bones, such as scorpions, shanks, and ribs, because without bones, the stewed broth would not be fragrant enough.

When Yao Yao returned home with so much beef, venison and bones in a pickup truck, her family was naturally surprised. She made two trips before she could finish the transportation.

Needless to say, Yao Yao's status in the family is now the mainstay of the family. When Yao Yao's parents wanted to marry her off, they only wanted a gift of 180,000 yuan.

After all, Yaojialing is not a wealthy place. Receiving a betrothal gift of 180,000 is already quite good. That's because their family thinks their daughter is beautiful and worth the price.

But now, Yao Yao earns more than 180,000 yuan in less than a year, and the amount she brings home to honor her parents is more than 300,000 yuan. Her parents are reluctant to let Yao Yao get married. If she marries someone else, she will not be able to subsidize the family in the future. After all, Yao Yao has a younger brother who is in the first grade of junior high school, so she is not an only child.

What's more, Yao Yao has recently won military merits twice in a row and was awarded a military rank. Even if he doesn't go to work, he will receive a fixed and generous salary, and he will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Her brother and cousins now admire her. Yao Yao was thinking about when to take her brother and cousins to meet Li Xiang.

After all, Lei Xiaohui has her brother Lei Jiaming, her cousin Lei Xiaonan, and a group of people from Leijiagou. Their "power" is huge. If she doesn't cultivate some power of her own, she will suffer a loss.

Since Yao Yao and the others were in the scenic area during the day and had lunch there, Li Xiang also stuffed a lot of beef and venison into the freezer of the store in the scenic area so that they could have a good meal at noon.

In fact, most people bring their own meals and heat them up in the store’s microwave. Only Yao Yao and her friends occasionally cook, but they always cook simple dishes, such as noodles or dumplings.

With heavy snow and biting north wind, the weather has become bad again. There are no tourists in the scenic area, so ordinary employees don't need to come to work.

Lei Jiaming took his men out to hunt wild boars to protect the safety of his hometown, while Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui came to accompany Li Xiang without fail.

In their words, even if it was raining knives from the sky, they would come as long as Brother Xiang was there.

Li Xiang was quite moved. He sat around the fire in the scenic area's teahouse, brewing tea and discussing philosophy with them.

The heat from the floor heating and the stove made the tea room as warm as spring. The three women took off their clothes, wearing very thin clothes that showed off their graceful curves.

They cut a lot of thin slices of beef and venison and grilled them on the spot, with a sizzling and fragrant smell.

"Brother, I'll feed you." After Yao Yao finished grilling, she picked it up with chopsticks, dipped it in the secret sauce, and then carefully rolled it up with freshly washed lettuce leaves picked from the greenhouse. She held the meat wrapped in vegetables with her slender hands and gently handed it to Li Xiang's mouth.

"Thank you." Li Xiang declined disrespectfully.

Seeing this, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui were not willing to be left behind and wrapped barbecue for Li Xiang.

Li Xiang: "Slow down, slow down, I can't eat anymore. You guys eat too."

These days, Li Xiang has carefully made obsidian armor for Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui according to the design drawings they each sent in. The weight is also measured according to their respective strength, so that they are not too heavy to wear and cannot be used freely.

It has to be said that the armor designed by the girl herself looked amazing after she put it on, and Li Xiang couldn't take his eyes off it.

They also wore these armors, held their own weapons, and shot several videos, which received a lot of traffic and likes. Fans thought they were cosplaying, but in fact, they were not cosplaying, these things were all super equipment with strong practical use.

Li Xiang's crystal vein arming skills are becoming more and more sophisticated. Using that special obsidian, the success rate has increased from about three tenths at the beginning to seven or eight tenths.

The extraordinary attributes of the refined armor or spiritual weapons have been improved from none or only one to basically two, with only a few having only one.

With the bonus of extraordinary attributes, the power of armor or spiritual soldiers will be greatly enhanced.

With such a success rate, mass production will basically be no problem. Of course, it is limited by the raw materials themselves and his own cultivation. The best piece at present is an eighth-level spiritual armor with two extraordinary attributes.

Most of the others were level five or six, and some were even level three or four, which were far from comparable to the two sets of armor given to Jiang Caier and Luo Feifei.

Especially Luo Feifei's set, which is a very high-level holy-grade armor.

Li Xiang has been practicing diligently these days, and his eighth-level cultivation has been consolidated. He pondered, since Japan has special geological veins, perhaps there are also some in China?
For example, the legendary "dragon vein" or some other special earth veins.

However, these land veins can protect the safety of an area and may represent the fortune of the country and the states. Li Xiang does not intend to touch them, but it does not prevent him from exploring them.

If you can find them, it might be more appropriate to build dungeons above or near these special ley lines.
