In recent years, fewer and fewer people have entered the village due to the presence of wolves.
Several times, he asked people to go hunting in the mountains.
But upon hearing that it was Dahuaishu Village and that there were so many wolves, no one wanted to take on this dangerous job.
I went to Liujia Village today just to give it a try.
Unexpectedly, He Hongyang actually agreed.
Moreover, in just one day, they resolved a major hidden danger that had plagued them for years!
"Brother He is truly admirable. Once he gets out, we must ask him what we can do for him."
He Hongyang has been released.
He neatly packed all 21 wolf pelts.
These wolf pelts are of very good quality and should fetch a good price.
The previous 7 images.
He had a total of 28 wolf skins in his hand.
It seems his trip wasn't in vain.
As soon as he came out, Old Yang immediately went to greet him.
She poured him water and wiped his hands.
"Brother He, you've worked hard."
Seeing that everyone in the village was looking at him with smiles, He Hongyang knew what they wanted to say.
He pulled Old Yang over.
"I have already cut the wolf meat for you and put it in the house."
Old Yang hurriedly waved his hand.
“I appreciate your kindness, but you absolutely cannot accept this meat. When you return, I will help you transport it back to the city along with those local specialties.”
Who said those meats were going to be given to him? He Hongyang said he wouldn't take them back, but that doesn't mean he would give them all away.
Old Yang then took out a wad of change from his pocket.
"This is 50 yuan. It's not much, but it's a token of our appreciation. In the future..."
Before he could finish speaking, He Hongyang interrupted him.
"These days, no one has it easy. I'm the eldest son in my family. My parents are gone, and I have to support my younger siblings and my wife..."
Old Yang knew that his 50 yuan was really not enough to show for it.
He lowered his head, looking embarrassed.
"I'm sorry. When I went there, I said that we would agree to anything you wanted, but now you can't provide it. I deserve to die."
He was so anxious he wanted to slap himself.
What is he doing?
Why are you so excited!
He Hongyang grabbed him and said, "Let me finish speaking first."
Upon seeing the terrain of the Big Locust Tree Village, he had already decided to make good use of this village to plan for himself.
Two years after the public-private partnership is established, a rationing system will be implemented.
Even if you have the money, many things will be limited and hard to buy.
Therefore, we should start accumulating now.
Anyway, I have my own system space, so I can fit as much stuff as I want.
"You can exchange this wolf meat for money and then buy calves, piglets, and chicks."
"They'll raise them for me in the village, and I'll come to collect them around this time next year."
"Based on your estimate, how many cows, how many pigs, and how many chickens can you give me in a year?"
Old Yang never expected that He Hongyang wanted him to do this.
There are more than 100 households in the Big Locust Tree area. If every household helps him raise the locust trees, he can raise quite a lot of them.
If we can repay you in this way, that would be wonderful.
Cows eat grass, and they have nothing here but plenty of grass. With a little effort, raising a few cows will be no problem at all.
Pigs are omnivorous; they eat everything from grass and peanut vines to sweet potato vines and corn stalks.
If we mix in some grains later, they'll definitely grow up plump and fat.
There are also chickens.
The village is sparsely populated and has plenty of land. Raising them free-range not only saves food but also provides a daily egg harvest.
This amount of wolf meat can buy quite a few cubs.
So all they need to do is put in some effort.
They've done them such a big favor, what's a little effort compared to that?
Moreover, farming families rely on physical labor for their livelihood.
18. Two large truckloads of local specialties
Old Yang is figuring out how many calves to buy, and who in the village is the best at raising cattle and pigs.
He Hongyang spoke up.
"Five cows, sixty pigs, and two hundred chickens—can you raise them all?"
You can definitely raise them!
They were allocated to more than 100 households in the village.
On average, two families can support one pig, which is absolutely no problem.
Old Yang patted his chest and guaranteed it.
"Don't worry, the number will definitely be more than this in a year."
He Hongyang nodded.
"Raise these for this winter, and I'll give you some piglets and money next spring. I promise you won't lose out."
These are far from meeting his needs.
He has already made up his mind.
There are still several months until spring.
When he has more money, he can buy some more cubs.
Next winter, we'll have a bumper harvest!
Upon hearing that he wanted to pay more money.
Old Yang quickly replied, "Even if you send us dozens more, we can still raise them all."
"We were just wondering what to give you, and now that's perfect, it solves everything."
“Raising these things only takes time and effort. We farmers have nothing but strength.”
“The village has many mountains, grass, and wild fruits, and the spring water is sweet. Otherwise, those wolves would not have chosen this place and stayed. So raising these livestock is definitely not a problem.”
"Moreover, those pig and cow manures are excellent fertilizers for crops, so we actually made a profit."
"Brother He, don't worry about anything. Just come and inspect the goods next year at this time."
Old Yang is an honest and kind man, and I feel at ease entrusting this matter to him.
"Then I'll have to trouble you all."
"What are you saying? You took such a huge risk to help us solve a huge problem. With no wolves around, life in the village will only get better and better."
“This is nothing. Sows can have piglets when they grow up, and cows can have calves when they grow up. I guarantee that next year the pen will be full of pigs and cows.”
Don't let Old Yang's lack of hunting skills fool you.
But he was very skilled at growing crops and raising livestock.
Moreover, the villagers would surely applaud and cheer when they heard him say that.
In their view.
It would be best to repay He Hongyang with something I'm good at.
Had a meal.
They arrived at Liujia Village with a car full of things to pick up Wang Liying.
The two sat in a carriage, followed by two large carts of goods, and headed into the city together.
Wang Liying was overjoyed to hear that he had killed so many wolves.
"Brother Hongyang, you are amazing! You've only been out for two days and you've already hunted so many prey."
"It's not prey, it's fur, which is worth more than meat."
I heard that he left all that wolf meat for the people of Big Locust Tree Village.
Wang Liying asked, puzzled.
"Although wolf meat is not as valuable as wolf fur, it is still meat. Isn't it a bit of a waste to leave so much meat to them?"
He Hongyang pinched her nose and said.
"It seems you, my little wife, know how to manage a household."
“We’ll trade seven wolves in Liujia Village for their carpenters, bricklayers, and timber.”
"Of course I will use those 21 wolves to exchange for the things in Big Locust Tree Village."
Wang Liying understood, and she said that her man would never do a losing business.
She didn't ask what exactly was replaced.
Since He Hongyang wouldn't say, she wouldn't ask him.
As a woman, her responsibility is to manage the household well.
Men should be in charge of important matters outside the home.
If a man doesn't speak, a woman shouldn't easily interrupt.
Anyway, she felt incredibly secure following He Hongyang.
She leaned on his shoulder, a happy smile on her face.
[Wang Liying admires her host, luck score +200!]
"Shall we go back now?"
"No, let's go to the market and sell wolf pelts first."
Old Liu and Old Yang drove directly to the courtyard house.
When Yan Bugui saw that they had brought two large carts full of goods, he thought they were there to sell vegetables.
I wonder how much this dish costs, is it cheap or not?
"Hey, how much are your vegetables per pound?"
I saw Old Man Liu.
Isn't this the same person who delivered vegetables to He Hongyang before?
When they heard that the things in their car weren't for sale, but were gifts for He Hongyang, they realized they were not.
He opened his mouth in surprise.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Did you give it to another family in the courtyard? Are you sure it's the He family?"
