chapter 6 Times are hard

Several indigenous hunters did not disappoint Sidney Yair.

In just three strokes, five divided by two, the cow was killed.

Moreover, their method of killing cattle is also extremely skillful.

Bleeding, skinning, dividing the meat, and finally cleaning out the tripe, louvers, small intestines, etc.

Looking at the meat spread on the cowhide, Sidney Yair was very satisfied.

Originally I was having a headache about how to kill the cow, but now it’s better, the problem is solved.

He selected the best beef ribs and stuffed them into the storage space.

I also selected some good tripe and beef louvers and put them away.

The remaining cowhide, blood, intestines, and some not-so-good meat, and the wagyu head were left behind.

Then he pointed at Thomas and the other three people and said, "Will these be left to you?"

"real?"

Thomas seemed unable to believe his ears.

Although the Handa Prairie City of Iron is rich in water and grass and rich in resources.

But this grassland is also extremely dangerous. Not only are there herds of bison and wild sheep, but there are also a large number of tigers, leopards, and wild wolves.

Hunters like them are actually extremely risky.

Every time I go out, it would be great if I can go back without getting hurt. If I can bring back some prey, that would be even more amazing.

You must know that such a bison is not something they can often hunt.

Because this cow is too big and very wild.

They didn't have the right tools, and there were too many predators on the grassland.

Even if they can hunt a cow, they may be targeted by other beasts before they can bring it back.

Therefore, they rarely catch large prey.

We had only been out for three days this time. Not only did we kill a cow, but no one was able to get a lot of beef and water with the cow.

Now they were extremely happy, and what was more important was the thick cowhide.

After taking it home, three people share it, and everyone can get a lot.

It can be made into clothes for two people, and the extra scraps can be made into leather boots.

The most important thing is the big bull's head. The adult seems to have no interest in it.

If you take this back, this one cow head will be enough for their three families of nine to eat for a whole day.

"Of course it's true. Just take and divide the rest!"

"Thank you, sir!"

For Sidney Yair's generosity, Thomas and others were so grateful that they even bowed their heads.

As a result, Sidney Yair grabbed him and said, "That's no need. By the way, where is your village? I'll go to the village to have a look tomorrow."

"Well, just in the northeast..."

Several hunters were simple-minded. When they heard that Sidney Yair was going to the village, they immediately introduced him to him.

Sidney Yair roughly understood the direction of their village.

Then he stopped talking nonsense and turned around and walked into the woods.

Thomas and others saw a flash of white light in the direction of the forest, and then their benefactor disappeared. They were stunned.

When Sidney Yair returned to the wishing world, the first thing he did was to find his old classmate Terry.

But before going there, he rented a truck and negotiated a price of three hundred and a day.

Then he put all the beef and offal brought back from another world into the back of the car.

When he arrived, Terry was already waiting at the door.

Seeing his car stop, Terry came up to him with a smile: "Did you run into a cow's nest? How did you get so much beef again?"

"Stop talking nonsense, isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? My second uncle collected this in the village. You think I'll give you a good price..."

Sidney Yair tried to remain calm on the surface, but in his heart he was worried that Terry would notice something fishy.

To say that their hometown is Haiyan Village , a small mountain village thirty miles north of Bazhou City.

Their family also has a second uncle living in the village, but his second uncle lost his child in a fire that year.

My wife also ran away later, so my spirit was a little stimulated, good and bad, so I stayed in the village.

Relying on his skills of killing pigs and cooking banquet dishes, he helps out in the village all year round.

However, because my spirit is up and down, I don't work all year round. I work half the year and rest half the year, and my days are just tough.

But just because his second uncle often went around the streets to kill pigs and cows for farmers, Sidney Yair found the excuse on his second uncle's head.

In fact, slaughtering in rural areas has been standardized now. Private individuals are not allowed to slaughter at will, and they must be sent to designated locations for slaughtering.

But many people would still kill secretly in order to save money, so this gave Sidney Yair an excuse.

Terry didn't suspect anything. He went over to look through the beef. Sidney Yair had specifically asked Thomas and the others to cut the meat into smaller pieces.

So Terry didn't see any flaws, and he was very happy about the extra bullshit.

After all, beef tripe, beef louver, beef heart, etc., their barbecue restaurant also uses them a lot.

"In this way, the beef will be calculated as 281 pounds, and the offal will be calculated as 21 pounds. What do you think?"

"No problem, just use this price!"

Sidney Yair was also very happy after hearing this. The meat this time was clean meat, different from the last time it was with skin and bones, so the price was naturally much higher.

If the market price of this fresh beef is thirty-five or six yuan per pound, this is the price only offered by big stores like Terry's.

Wholesale beef offal costs more than 20 yuan.

But Terry was his old classmate and had helped him at critical moments, so he had to leave room for profit.

Furthermore, his beef is a 'private commodity' of unknown origin. It is already a great honor to be willing to charge it at this price.

Soon the money and goods were settled, and I bought one thousand kilograms of beef and got twenty-eight thousand.

He bought more than 200 offal and stuff, and Terry gave him 300, for a total of 28,300.

"Why don't you have a bite at home before going back?"

Terry looked at the time and saw that it was already noon, so he left him to eat.

But Sidney Yair was not in such a mood. After politely declining, he drove home directly.

But before going home, I went to a nearby farmer’s market for a big purchase...

When we got home, it was just past 12 noon.

According to common sense, this is the time for dinner, and their small shop should be the busiest time.

But at this time, the store was extremely deserted, with no one eating.

Dad was the only one sitting on a chair near the bar, smoking a cigarette and sighing.

"what happened?"

Sidney Yair asked, looking at his parents with sad faces.

Li Qin looked at her son and rolled her eyes: "You kid really doesn't have any eyesight. Can't you see?"

"Our family owns a noodle shop, but look at it at noon. There is no one there. Can you not be upset?"

"Business has been so bad this whole year. What will we do next year?"

"In another month, the house will expire. The landlord called the day before yesterday. I heard that it seemed like the rent was going to be increased?"

"Your father and I are also worried! Will we still be able to do this business next year?"
