198 Picking up sheep, eagles, old Bagen
The clouds were rolling and the rain was still falling.
Rakshen, who had gone to the sheepfold, returned shortly after, and while wiping the rain from his head with a gray cloth, he said:
"There are still 1,023 sheep in the sheepfold, and I counted them three times, and I can't be wrong."
Lakshin raised his head and glanced at Lao Suhe carefully, the latter was smoking a cigarette and was distressed to death, there were 1,026 sheep before, and a sudden heavy rain ran away and lost three sheep.
There is no way to be sad, after all, the sheep has been lost.
The thunder was rolling, the lightning exploded, and after eating and getting old for a while, everyone went back to their yurts.
After returning to the yurt, Li Yan held a candle and found a few thick clothes from the baggage: "I'm afraid it's going to cool down when it's raining heavily, but fortunately, I brought a few thick clothes, let's put them on tomorrow morning."
"Sister-in-law, do you have mine?"
The little girl is always so carefree, she came to Li Yan with the cat in her arms, and the big white cat broke free from the little girl's arms and climbed on Li Yan's legs.
"Yes, I brought a sweater of yours."
The candlelight flickered, Li Yan's face became more and more soft under the dim light, and she gathered the hair in her ears and looked at Wang Yuandao:
"It's really scary today, and I can't see you in such a heavy rain, my heart is pounding...... You said you wouldn't come back......"
At that time, Li Yan was really scared, under bad weather, people were really too fragile in the face of nature, and it was not uncommon for a person to die.
"It's not okay, I'll pay more attention to it in the future." Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and hugged Li Yan, the little girl turned her head embarrassedly, and Li Ping blushed a little when she thought of what happened the night before.
After laying out the bedding and blowing out the candles, several people also slept under the bed.
The big white cat lay next to the pillow with her paws, purring and snoring, the sound was intertwined with the thunder and rain outside, she should have eaten enough, and the sound was really thick.
It's really cool to sleep on rainy days.
Listening to the sound of rain outside, Wang Yuan was about to fall asleep, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that Li Yan on the right reached into his quilt and slowly went down......
Wang Yuan was not polite, he took her in his arms and kissed her directly.
……
Maybe they slept too late last night, Wang Yuan and Li Yan obviously got up much later, but when it was almost 7 o'clock in the morning, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
"Bang~"
"What's going on!?"
Wang Yuan, who was frightened, pouted, turned over and climbed up directly, and the rain outside stopped faintly and there was a faint sound of talking, but he couldn't hear what he was saying.
Li Yan, Li Ping and the little girl were also taken aback.
"Something happened?"
"Why are there any gunshots?"
"Don't worry, you guys get dressed first, I'll go out and have a look." Wang Yuan got dressed and walked out of the yurt with his rifle in his hand.
The sun had just come out, and a large red disc hung in the eastern sky, the air was cold and the water vapor was heavy, and the grass on the ground was hung with water droplets.
Mrs. Uzhna, dressed in bright Mongolian costumes, was preparing to cook, while Old Suhe and Laksin were busy in the sheepfold and cattle pen, as if feeding the cattle fodder.
Wang Yuan was just about to open his mouth to ask what had happened, when suddenly another gunshot rang out from the south.
"Bang~"
There is no shelter in the grassland, and the sound of gunfire can travel far away.
Old Su He came out of the sheepfold at this time, and said while patting the grass on his body: "Xiao Suhe rode a horse to the south to look for sheep, maybe he saw a hare, it's nothing."
Wang Yuan nodded, when the rain stopped, he naturally had to look for the lost sheep, and he didn't care if he couldn't leave it alone.
He moved his arm a few times, walked over to help Mrs. Uzhna cook, and when the milk tea was almost ready, Da ~ Xiao Suhe rode back from the south.
The one who grinned happily Oh, Wang Yuan and the others all looked at him with a smile, knowing that there must be something good.
Really.
Xiao Suhe shouted excitedly: "Abu, Eji, look what I brought back!"
Riding a horse to come to him, poof~ Xiao Suhe directly threw a dead wolf to the ground, the huge wolf corpse was more than a meter long, the hair was blue and black, and the big mouth showed sharp fangs, I am afraid that it can scare the child into crying.
But now such a big creature is dead.
One shot was in the stomach, the other in the head, and the blood flowed out and stained the grass red.
Xiao Suhe turned over and dismounted neatly, with a dirty little lamb between his elbows:
"Not only did I kill a wolf, I also found a sheep, and look, it was this little guy who almost let the wolf eat it, and I saved her."
The little lamb was just over a month old, his hair was a little curly, and he was covered with mud, and some of the mud rubbed on Xiao Suhe's body.
can find a sheep, Lao Suhe and they are also very happy.
After eating breakfast cooked with marmot meat, Wang Yuan, Li Yan, Li Ping, Xiao Suhe, Tuya and others rode horses to the grassland to look for sheep.
Wang Yuan and Li Yan, Li Ping all the way.
Xiao Suhe and his wife Tuya all the way.
When they came back at 11 o'clock in the morning, Wang Yuan and his entourage found 4 sheep, and Xiao Suhe and his family found 12 sheep.
Wang Yuan and the three of them returned to the camp first, and when they saw Xiao Suhe and his family driving a flock of sheep back, everyone was stunned.
Old Su He was very happy, but he still asked, "Where did you find so many sheep?" We didn't lose that much. ”
"Other pastures are lost, many people were grazing sheep when it rained heavily yesterday."
Xiao Suhe is very happy, he really picked up so many sheep for nothing.
Mrs. Uzhna was kind, and she felt that it was not easy for others to raise sheep so big, and that they should be returned.
"What's more, whose family is it doesn't know who to give it back to? Let's wait until someone comes to me. Old Suhe asked Xiao Suhe to quickly drive the sheep back to the sheepfold, shouting to pick a fat one to kill, and make a roast sheep to eat at noon.
It was close to noon.
While everyone was chatting and cooking, a huge eagle flew in from the south.
The eagle flies very low, its eyes are sharp, its wings are wide open, and the feathers on its body can be seen very clearly.
"Uh~"
The sound was very penetrating, and the big white cat that was originally crooked next to Wang Yuan was instantly startled, its fur exploded, and it swished~ directly back into the yurt, hiding at the door of the yurt and secretly observing the eagle.
The dogs yelled at the eagles in the sky, "Wangwang~" Especially when the dogs were uneven, they couldn't wait to jump up and catch the eagles.
Xiao Suhe said: "It's Uncle Bagen's eagle, it should be Uncle Bagen's coming."
Really.
Soon a modified motorcycle appeared in the south, and there were still some gray cloth bags loaded on the gray of the motorcycle, and a big fat man sat on it, and the pressed motorcycle changed its tone.
The big fat man was wearing a gray Mongolian robe and a beard, and he laughed and greeted him from afar: "Hey, Brother Suhe is here!"
"Uh~"
The eagle hovering in the sky fell, right on the right shoulder of "Bagan", who had a cowhide shoulder pad on his shoulder, and the sharp talons of the eagle grasped it steadily.
Hawkeye still aimed at the big white cat with bad intentions, and the frightened big white cat shrank into the yurt again.
Lao Suhe laughed and went to greet him, Wang Yuan and a few people also followed, "Bagen" looked like he was in his 60s, about 1.8 meters tall among Mongolians, and his laughter seemed to be very bright.
Wang Yuan thought he was looking for sheep, but it turned out that he was not, I don't know where he heard the news that Wang Yuan bought sheep at a high price, so he came over to take a look.
Almost every household of the herders raises sheep.
There are thousands of sheep at most, dozens at the least, and many sheep can be slaughtered but they can't be sold at any price.
The reason for the low price is that in addition to the difficulty of transportation, there are also sheep dealers who deliberately lower the price, and the vast majority of herdsmen are honest, stupid and not very good at talking, and it is difficult to take advantage of the shrewd sheep dealers when it comes to price.
The herders also know that they are stupid and suffer a lot, but it is difficult to change the situation.
At noon, everyone chatted while eating the mutton, and Bagen talked about his experience of boiling eagles, which made Wang Yuan amazed.
Wang Yuan reached out and touched the eagle's head, the hair was quite soft, brush~ The eagle turned his head directly and glared at him, looking like he was going to peck him.
"By the way, the two geese I brought are cooked, right?" Old Bagan sat there, like a mountain of meat, eating meat and drinking wine looked very bold.
"It's baked and ready to eat."
Mrs. Uzhna took the two roasted geese, tore them apart, and distributed the pieces of meat among the people.
Remove the hair and remove the internal organs, smear the seasoning and roast the skin directly after the skin is browned, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the wild goose meat not only has its own fragrant and tender taste, but also the fragrance of chili, cumin, and pepper powder.
Chewing on the delicious wild goose meat, I instantly felt that my life was extremely happy.
Wang Yuan felt that meat in this era was really abundant, allowing ordinary people to hunt wild animals and use wild animal resources.
If in the future life, wild animals are dead and rotten, and ordinary people will not want to fix it, and maybe only powerful people can secretly fix it.
But in fact, many people also believe that deer, robes, bears, pheasants, wild boars, etc. are not more noble than the fish in the river, and hunting can be prohibited when the number is small, but some can be hunted when the number is large - after all, most areas with a lot of wild animals are relatively poor.
Instead of letting some wild animals die in vain, rot in the mountains and forests, and be worthless, it is better to sell them for money, subsidize the local finances, and give more money to the local people affected by the disaster.
So many local officials are also doing it secretly, but they are very careful, so there are many, many hunting grounds in China, almost every province, but they are not very famous, and they are very low-key.
In August 2006, the State Forestry Administration made a high-profile move, holding a public press conference saying that it would develop wildlife resources and publicly auction wildlife hunting rights.
In the end, the State Forestry Administration was almost sprayed to death by countless spittle stars...... It seems that no one dares to mention this matter again.
Although I don't mention it, I still do what I should do, and the hunting of wild animals has never been interrupted, but I don't have a chance with many ordinary people.
"Wild goose meat is delicious, right? I still have a few more at home, and I'll come back when I have time. ”
"Uncle Bagen, how did you catch the wild goose?" Wang Yuan asked curiously.
"Hey, you're asking the right question!" Old Bagen's eyebrows danced, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of pride:
"There are many ways to catch geese, and the best one is to trap ......"
After eating, the relationship between them became familiar, and Lao Bagen said that he wanted to sell the sheep to Wang Yuan.
"Uncle Bagen, how many sheep are you going to sell?"
"This ...... What price can I get? To be honest, not only me, but I also know a lot of people who want to sell sheep. ”
Lao Bagen lit a dry cigarette and smoked it, he actually wanted to see what price Wang Yuan could offer, if the price was high, he would sell more, and if the price was low, he would sell less.
Wang Yuan handed a wild goose bone to the big white cat next to him, and groaned slightly:
"1.1 yuan a catty, no matter how old or young it is, it's 1.1 yuan, what's the matter?"
The general market price is less than 1 yuan / catty, the reason why Wang Yuan is willing to give a high price is that he wants to buy more mutton, although it is only the early nineties, but there are already many rich people in the city, and mutton is not worried about selling at all.
Of course, he gave Xiao Suhe a higher price, which was completely different from his own ranch.
"1.1 yuan a pound? Hiss~ Can it be higher? ”
Lao Bagen is very arrogant on the surface, but he is very precise, although he is quite satisfied with the price of 1.1 yuan / catty, but he still wants to have more.
Wang Yuan smiled and shook his head:
"Uncle Bagen, I'll be honest with you, the price of 1.1 yuan a pound is not low, and you can't let me lose money? This price is more than 1 cent more expensive than the market price, which is really high. ”
"Okay, then do as you say." Old Bagen laughed instantly, drank a bowl of wine with Wang Yuan and asked Wang Yuan how many sheep he could ask for at most.
Wang Yuan's answer is that there is no upper limit, and the more the better.
"The more the merrier!? If you could eat 10,000 sheep? ”
Lao Bagen felt that he was going to get acquainted with Wang Yuan again, his eyes were full of shock, if Xiao Suhe hadn't talked to him about Wang Yuan's situation in advance, I am afraid he would have thought that Wang Yuan was a liar.
In the 90s, business became more and more prosperous, and there were more and more scammers, many people were really honest and easy to cheat, and many scammers made a fortune.
"Eat."
Wang Yuan smiled and nodded, he actually wanted to say that 100,000 sheep could also be eaten, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to pretend to be a batch.
Sake red face, gold heart.
The grassland in this era is very chaotic, this side is the frontier land, and you can see the scenery of Lao Su to the west.
If he is too rich, it is also possible to be shot black, after all, he is an outsider, not a native of the grassland.
Old Bagen's heart slowly relaxed, and then he became excited-if there were 10,000 sheep, how much money would the commission have? If you make money this time, I'm afraid you will be able to live well in three or five years.
Old Bagen saw that Uzhina had cleaned up the wolf, and he originally wanted to stay and eat "red stewed wolf meat", but in the end, the desire to make money overwhelmed the desire for food, and he left abruptly on a broken motorcycle.
Uh~
The eagle also flew away with old Bagen, and the cart and eagle quickly disappeared into the distance.
