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

Chapter 86 Exploring the Native Forest Reserve

"Sure, how much do you want?" Li Xiang asked. He had almost forgotten about it.

The restaurant owner said, "A live one weighs 31 kilograms, a dead one weighs 20, and if there are super large ones weighing more than 400 kilograms, they are 50 yuan per kilogram."

This is because the tripe of a large wild boar is very valuable. There is a saying among the people that wild boar tripe can cure stomach problems. The Compendium of Materia Medica also records that pig tripe (pig stomach) is slightly warm in nature and sweet in taste, and has the effect of stopping gastritis, strengthening the stomach and replenishing deficiency. Therefore, people often buy it at high prices.

For example, there was once a news report that said a man had a son who had been suffering from stomach problems since he was 6 years old. He would feel nauseous after eating anything when it was hot, and would easily have acid reflux when it was cold. The son had been to many hospitals, but his condition had not improved significantly.

Someone suggested to the other party that he should get some wild boar stomach, which would cure his stomach problems.

The man started looking for buyers everywhere and even turned to newspapers, radio stations, etc., hoping that the media could help him make the connection.

But wild boar tripe is hard to buy because so many people are eager to buy it. Usually you have to make an appointment with the hunting team in advance.

As for wild boar tripe, only large wild boars have therapeutic effects. It is basically useless for small wild boars weighing dozens of kilograms.

This is because wild boars are omnivorous animals and will eat anything they can, including bamboo shoots, herbs, bird eggs, mushrooms, rabbits, mountain rats, venomous snakes, and centipedes.

Although there is currently no evidence that wild boars are immune to toxins, judging from the fact that wild boars do not die immediately after eating poisonous food, their stomachs can be said to be immune to all poisons.

According to folklore, after a wild boar swallows a poisonous snake, such as an Agkistrodon acutus, the snake's fangs will bite the inner wall of the boar's belly (stomach). The wild boar's belly, which has been soaked in various Chinese herbal medicines for a long time, has its own way of removing poison and healing wounds. Granulation tissue will then grow at the base of the wound, and then form fibrous tissue and scar tissue, leaving a "boil" on the gastric mucosa. The more "boils" there are, the higher the medicinal value.

However, the reporter interviewed an 60-year-old Chinese medicine doctor at a famous medical clinic. He said that he had been practicing medicine for years and had never seen any record in a regular medical book that wild boar stomach could cure stomach problems. He suggested that it would be better to use scientific methods to treat stomach problems and go to a regular hospital.

Of course, since there is such a saying among the people, and wild boar stomach is also a medicine in the Compendium of Materia Medica, even if it does not have miraculous effects, it still has a strong health-care effect. Therefore, there are still many people who want to buy it.

The owner of this restaurant called Li Xiang because he received several orders for wild boar tripe. In addition, he also bought small wild boars because they can be used to make "roast suckling pig", which has a different flavor compared to domestic pigs. Whether it tastes good or not is not important, the main thing is the gimmick.

Just like bat soup, is it really delicious? But there are still many people who want to try it out of curiosity, and it is also quite expensive.

However, in ancient times, bats were indeed a very unique "medicine" that could be used as medicine for chronic cough, malaria, gonorrhea, eye opacity, etc. Bat feces is called "night-shining sand", which is also an important Chinese medicinal material for eye diseases.

But for modern people, this soup is a bit disgusting and highly poisonous. Bats carry hundreds of viruses, some of which may not be inactivated even after high-temperature treatment. Only those who are very brave dare to experience it.

Then there may be "pig sand" in the body of a large wild boar, "cow gall" in the body, "dog treasure" in the body of a dog, and "pig treasure" in the body of a pig. This pig treasure is "pig sand", which is actually the gallstones of the pig. It is very expensive and rare.

The last time Li Xiang's family killed the wild boar, they had also searched for it. They did find a hard object covered with hair, like an egg, in the pig's stomach. However, Li Yucheng said it was just a ball of pig hair and later threw it away.

In fact, even if there is "pig sand", its medicinal value cannot be compared with bezoar and dog gizzard.

……

Li Xiang had a detailed discussion with the restaurant owner and naturally agreed, but he made a request that the settlement should be quick.

After all, this kind of personal matter, if the payment is delayed and a dispute arises, it will be bad. Although he can teach the other party a lesson, it is better to have less trouble than more.

The boss was also quite generous. He immediately patted his chest and said on the other end of the phone: "I guarantee that you will be paid in cash. Give me the goods, count them, and I will transfer the money to your card within two hours. I, Huang, have always been clean and efficient in doing things. You can go and ask around."

"The number of wild boars may be a bit too large. I will give you a location on the provincial road and you can send a large truck to pick them up." Li Xiang said after pondering for a moment.

"What?" Boss Huang was stunned and asked, "How much can you get?"

Li Xiang said calmly: "At least thirty."

"Good!" The other party was very excited. If Li Xiang could get thirty heads, or even more, he would not be out of stock in a short period of time. He would definitely have an advantage in the next business.

He could easily get 40 or 50 wild boars. He actually went to the Forestry and Grassland Bureau to ask, but the Bureau refused to sell him any because they did not recommend eating wild boars, saying that wild animals could carry deadly pathogens and could lead to a situation that was difficult to deal with.

After the major events of the past few years, the government is very cautious. No matter what happens among the people, it is the regulatory behavior of the market economy, but they themselves will not participate.

Their superiors did not approve them to resell the products.

The Sichuan provincial government’s wild boar recycling is indeed done in a pollution-free manner, but it is not selling pork as everyone imagines.

As for live pigs, the authorities will transfer them to zoos, scientific research institutions and the like that have needs, but most of them are still disposed of by "deep burial in the soil".

However, there is a gap in the market, especially with the recent heavy snow and soaring prices, wild boar meat is in short supply, and the bosses are anxious.

Mr. Huang expressed his anticipation and chatted with Li Xiang for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Afterwards, Li Xiang gave it his all.

He basically searched the area within a radius of ten kilometers. The number of wild boars in places farther away was actually limited. He simply used his magical speed to climb over mountains and cross rivers and entered the primeval forest reserve closest to his home.

The journey was about 50 kilometers, and he could easily reach the destination in an hour. If he could go faster, he could do it, but it would be more tiring. He also had to save his energy to catch the wild boar.

The area of this protected area is not very large, only a few hundred square kilometers, but there are extremely many wild animals in it, and the weeds and bushes are overgrown. If ordinary people come in, it is very difficult to walk. This is not the mountainous area near his home.

After Li Xiang went deeper, he activated the "mutated creature identification function" and urged the "bright pearl darkening" method to restrain his own breath. While searching for wild boars, if he encountered potential mutant creatures, he would naturally kill them immediately.

System: "A third-order mutant creature, the three-eyed flower bird, was discovered."

Li Xiang looked around and saw a magpie perched on a branch, pecking at some frozen berries.

"Swish~" Li Xiang raised his hand, and the White Fang Dagger turned into a beam of white light and shot out. After these days of spiritual power nourishment, the White Fang Dagger became more and more handy, with fast speed and the ability to guide its direction to hit the target every time. Almost in an instant, the "Three-eyed Flower Bird" fell to the ground.

System: "Congratulations to the host for killing the third-order mutant creature, the three-eyed flower bird, and receiving a surprise reward of three second-order mutant spiritual fruits, the silver-core golden-hook pear."

The golden hook pear belongs to the genus Hovenia of the Rhamnaceae family. This silver-core golden hook pear, which is rewarded by the system, is a special product with a refreshing fragrance.

Li Xiang continued to move forward, and after harvesting three hibernating "spicy strips", a nest of centipedes and two wild rabbits, he finally discovered a group of wild boars.

There were only nine wild boars in this group, including one male, two females and six cubs. Li Xiang did not use his high-density knife. He shot over like lightning, dropped from the sky, and directly activated the "Wild Boar King Pressure" of the White Fang Dagger, which scared the wild boars to death in an instant. Then, he picked them up one by one and threw them into the system's extra-dimensional space warehouse.

That warehouse cannot store living things. If a living thing goes in, it will definitely die. But there is one advantage: food stored in it will not spoil.

Because food spoilage is caused by microorganisms, microorganisms cannot survive in the food, not even anaerobic bacteria.

Although dead wild boars are not as expensive as live ones, it is more convenient for Li Xiang to transport dead pigs.

Among this group of wild boars, there is also a potential mutant black-maned white-fanged beast, which is at the third level. When Li Xiang threw it into the system warehouse, he obtained three second-level spiritual medicines, pig-arch fungi.

The system's extra-dimensional warehouse is eight cubic meters in size. Everything inside is suspended in the air. Li Xiang has opened up a small area in a corner of the top to store elixirs.

It's impossible to put elixir and something as dirty as a wild boar together.

In addition, the debris in the warehouse, such as residual dirt, can be "shaken off" with the mind. Regular cleaning can keep it dust-free.
