Chapter 185 Why is it so difficult to eat meat? (Subscribe)
Xu Ye rode a bicycle, and Yang Zongming drove the donkey cart himself.

Although it only took him two days to get used to it, Yang Zongming already likes the prosthesis very much.

He doesn't need to tie up his pants, so his prosthesis can be completely hidden inside his pants, and you can't tell that he is a disabled person.

Of course, this is without moving around.

When I actually walked, it still felt a little unnatural.

Even so, Yang Zongming was very satisfied.

When the two men rushed back to Sanxi Village, it was already dark.

Fan Dajun was guarding the entrance of the village, waiting for two people.

Seeing Xu Ye and Yang Zongming coming back, he hurried to greet them.

"How is it? There was no conflict, right?" Fan Dajun asked anxiously.

He regretted not stopping Yang Zongming and not telling Xu Ye about this earlier.

If the situation gets out of hand, it will be difficult to resolve.

Now that Sanxi Brigade is getting better and better, it is normal for others to be jealous.

Many people would certainly like to see the Sanxi Brigade continue to live a hard life.

Otherwise, if the Sanxi Brigade lives a good life, wouldn't it seem that they are incompetent and unable to lead their brigade to live a good life?
Xu Ye glanced at Fan Dajun before speaking: "The higher-ups don't agree with us setting up a hunting team, and they're using this to block the appointment of the deputy captain."

Fan Dajun frowned and couldn't help asking, "We set this up voluntarily. What does it have to do with the higher-ups?"

"We haven't asked the higher-ups to take responsibility, nor have we asked them to give us any support."

Fan Dajun couldn't understand why a hunting team was not allowed to be formed?

The people of Sanxi Brigade finally had a better life and were able to eat meat for a few days with great difficulty.

Now, you are not allowed to eat it?

"That's when nothing happens. If something happens, someone will cause trouble. Then, no one will be able to take the responsibility."

"Before, we took it for granted and did not consider the situation of other teams." Yang Zongming said with some annoyance.

Now that this door has been opened, other teams will definitely find ways to follow suit.

Only by holding down Xu Ye and the others can this gap be blocked.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Just disband the hunting team?" Fan Dajun took out a cigarette and his expression became serious.

Everyone has tasted the sweetness, and it may not be so easy to disband all of a sudden.

"Yes, we have no choice but to disband. There is no benefit in going against the higher-ups. It will only make our team more and more passive."

"Next, we will have to blast mountains, dig rivers, and build factories. All of these require on-site support." Xu Ye said decisively.

It is impossible to block all other roads just because of a hunting team.

"Okay, let's have a meeting tonight. Let me take care of the offending matters." Fan Dajun stood up directly.

He still had some prestige, and he felt it would be more appropriate for him to speak up than Yang Zongming on this matter.

"After all, the resentment is directed at the commune." After saying this, Fan Dajun lit a cigarette.

After the three of them reached a consensus, they went home to eat.

After dinner, the village radio started to sound.

When they heard that a meeting was going to take place, everyone headed towards the brigade headquarters.

The villagers didn't know what was going on and all had a look of joy on their faces.

After all, good things always happen during this period, and life is getting better and better.

In less than half an hour, the entire team, young and old, regardless of gender, arrived.

"Captain, what's going on today? Didn't we just have a meeting two days ago?"

"Yeah, is there anything else we can share?"

"Is our Captain Xu going to teach everyone a skill?"

The villagers were talking at once, obviously looking forward to tonight's meeting.

Fan Dajun stood on the stage, cleared his throat and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Fellow villagers, please be quiet. We have called you all here tonight because we have something important to announce." Fan Dajun's voice was steady and powerful, and it quickly quieted the scene.

The villagers looked at each other, waiting curiously for what would happen next.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their support for the work of the brigade during this period. The progress of our Sanxi Brigade today is inseparable from the efforts of everyone." Fan Dajun first made an opening statement to ease the atmosphere.

Then, he changed the subject and his expression became serious: "But what I want to talk about today is about our hunting team."

"After careful consideration and communication with our superiors, we have decided to temporarily disband the hunting team."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene, and the villagers whispered to each other in disbelief.

"How could this happen? We finally get to eat meat!"

"Yeah, doesn't this cut off our access to meat?"

"Captain Fan, why is this happening?"

Facing the villagers' doubts and confusion, Fan Dajun patiently explained: "Fellow villagers, I understand your feelings. The hunting team has indeed brought us a lot of benefits."

"However, our superiors, out of consideration for the stability and development of the entire commune, believe that there are still some risks and controversies in establishing a hunting team. For the sake of the overall situation, we can only make this decision first."

Then, Xu Ye and Yang Zongming also came forward. Xu Ye added: "Don't worry, although the hunting team has been disbanded, we will not stop working for everyone's benefit. Next, I will teach you some skills." "The team will soon be breeding bamboo rats in large quantities. It won't be long before everyone can eat meat regularly."

Yang Zongming also nodded in agreement: "Yes, we will continue to work hard to make the Sanxi Brigade live better and better. Please believe in us and believe in the future."

"The Commune is really something. What does our brigade's establishment of a hunting team have to do with them? They just can't stand us eating meat, right?"

"That's right. Can't we decide our own team's affairs? Why should they ask us to disband?"

"We oppose the disbanding of the hunting team." Someone stood up excitedly and clenched his fists.

"That's right. We just want to eat some meat and live a good life. Why is it so difficult?"

Faced with the villagers' excitement, Fan Dajun, Xu Ye and Yang Zongming exchanged glances.

They had anticipated this situation a long time ago.

"Fellow villagers, please calm down." Fan Dajun raised his voice again, trying to restore order at the scene.

"I understand everyone's feelings. The hunting team has indeed brought benefits to everyone."

"But hunting in the mountains is very dangerous. If something unexpected happens and someone dies, no one can take the responsibility."

"Once we set up one, other brigades will follow suit, which will put more people in danger."

Xu Ye took over the conversation, his voice gentle but firm: "Although the hunting team has been disbanded, I will still find a way to make sure everyone has meat to eat."

"Don't forget, we killed more than a dozen takin last time and raised them in the brigade's breeding farm."

"If you think it's not feasible, you can go to the commune and raise your own opinions. However, the brigade must implement the arrangements from above."

Xu Ye knew very well that people like them would never go to the commune to cause trouble.

"Well, since Xu Ye said so, we will believe him." A villager spoke up to break the silence.

"Yes, Xu Ye is so capable, he can definitely provide everyone with meat even without hunting. Don't forget, we also have a construction team in our village." Another villager echoed.

"Hunting is indeed dangerous. Although Xu Ye is very capable, he cannot guarantee that nothing will go wrong every time. Now that the higher-ups have made the decision, what else can we do?"

Everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, because everyone knew that the arm could not twist the thigh.

However, those members of the hunting team had other ideas.

Many of the people who just spoke were from the hunting team.

The hunting team is not established as part of a large group, so is it okay to set it up privately?

Xu Ye had taken Zhang Sanbao and others into the mountains to hunt before, and he can still take them into the mountains to hunt now.

What's more, you don't have to share money with the team.

After independence, there is no need to share money with the brigade.

Even if others do not support Xu Ye, they will firmly support him.

They made a lot of money in just such a short time following Xu Ye.

They really don't want to miss such an opportunity.

Then Fan Dajun said some polite words for a while and then arranged the work for tomorrow.

After the meeting, the villagers dispersed one after another, but the members of the hunting team gathered together and discussed in low voices.

Their eyes revealed reluctance and determination, and it was obvious that they had not fully accepted the decision to disband the hunting team.

"Captain, will we go hunting in the mountains again in the future?"

"Yes, Captain. The team won't let us fight, so it should be okay for us to fight in private, right?"

"Captain, the commune shouldn't prohibit us from hunting privately, right?"

The villagers don’t really care whether they have meat to eat or not.

What they care about is whether they can make money and have meat to eat.

Xu Ye glanced around at everyone, and then said, "Of course you can hunt privately, but you can't be as high-profile as before."

"Also, how do we solve the problem of guns and bullets?"

"If we borrow it from the militia, it will be very troublesome when the commune investigates." As he said this, Xu Ye glanced at Wang Baosheng.

Wang Baosheng frowned, he had missed the most important question.

Without a gun, what can you use to hunt?

Not everyone can afford a gun.

They did make a little money before, but it wasn't enough to buy guns.

If you replace the gun with a shotgun, your hunting efficiency will drop sharply.

"Captain Wang, can't we really lend you this gun?" a team member asked directly.

If you don’t have a gun, do you have to use a knife to hunt?
Isn't that a sure way to get yourself killed?
It’s okay without beasts of burden, but it’s really not okay without guns.

Wang Baosheng looked embarrassed and shook his head slowly: "The militia has strict gun management. Lending guns privately is against the rules. If something goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility."

Xu Ye pondered for a moment, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and slowly said: "We do need to carefully consider the issue of guns. However, it does not mean that we give up. I have an idea, maybe we can try other ways to solve it."

"What method?" Everyone gathered around, with anticipation gleaming in their eyes.

Xu Ye said directly: "We can raise funds first and see if we can buy some, such as air guns or crossbows."

"Although these are not as powerful as the Type 38 rifle, they can still work under the right conditions."

"At the same time, we can strengthen training and improve hunting skills to make up for the lack of tools."
