The next morning.
The little girl ate the breakfast Li Yu had prepared, which was just two leftover pancakes from the day before, and some leftover meat stir-fried together, making a plate of food.
“Brother-in-law, did you bully my sister again while I was drunk yesterday?”
Her sister used to be so hardworking.
Every day, as soon as she woke up, she would see her sister busy.
Today, she was unusually lazy in bed. There was no need to think about it, her brother-in-law must have been up to something.
“Go, go, go, little girl, what are you asking about? Besides, was that bullying? It was clearly your brother-in-law showering you with love!”
Li Yu felt refreshed after waking up this morning.
He didn’t want to argue with this little girl.
“Ugh, love my foot!”
The little girl immediately spat at him.
“Believe it or not!”
Li Yu gulped down the pancakes in a few bites.
He got up and said.
“Later, quickly steam some white flour buns for your sister to eat after she wakes up. I’ll take the meat to the team headquarters, and then I’ll talk to Uncle for a bit. If I don’t come back, don’t wait for me for dinner.”
The little girl watched Li Yu’s back and savagely took a bite of the pancake in her hand.
“I know!”
......
“Uncle, I’m coming in!”
“You stinky boy, if you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak at all!”
Li Yu chuckled.
He walked directly into his uncle’s office and sat in the chair in front of him.
He placed the piece of meat he was carrying on the table.
“Uncle, this is a Gan Da Han that my wife and I hunted on the mountain yesterday. Take it home and give it to Aunt and Yanni to try.”
“Gan Da Han?”
Li Xue Wu looked at the meat on the table in surprise.
He asked.
“You actually hunted something so big?”
This thing was not common to ordinary people because it only adapted to cold places.
He still remembered that a few years ago, during a large-scale hunting expedition, he had the **privilege of seeing a Gan Da Han.**
It was so big that he didn't dare to make a move at all.
He didn’t expect his nephew to actually bring one down.
“Of course!”
Li Yu smiled triumphantly.
He spread his arms and gestured.
“The huge antlers are still in my backyard. It was a huge beast, over a thousand and two hundred pounds. I’m going to make it into a specimen and put it at the entrance of my house. Everyone who comes in will see it.”
“You little.....”
Li Xue Wu looked at him speechlessly.
“You’re getting so full of yourself, you’re even starting to puff up. Come on, what do you want?”
This kid usually didn’t show up unless he had something to do, and even then, he’d just send things to his aunt.
Today, he came to his office, so he must have had a good reason.
“Uncle, you really are a prophet. I do have two things to ask you. That deer meat, after removing the innards and the big antlers, there’s still nearly nine hundred pounds left. We gave three hundred pounds to the team headquarters, and I still have about six hundred pounds at home. How can we finish eating it all?”
This statement actually made Li Xue Wu so angry that his beard was bristling.
He was about to blurt out a swear word.
Calm down, calm down, this is his nephew.
“If you don’t want to eat it, you can take it to my house. We won’t be afraid of not finishing it!”
“Uncle, I’m not trying to show off.”
Li Yu helplessly spread his hands.
He explained.
“The meat won’t be as good after it’s frozen. I was thinking that maybe Uncle could help me find a way to exchange it all for money to supplement our family expenses.”
This time, Li Xue Wu nodded in agreement.
He knew his nephew’s abilities. He was even bold enough to charge at wolves.
If he wanted to eat meat, he could easily get it in the forest behind their village.
If that much meat was frozen for half a year, it would basically have very little taste left. It really wouldn’t be very good to eat.
“It’s possible. Several logging yards need meat, but this thing definitely can’t be bought at the regular price. At most, it can be one dime more expensive than wild boar meat, otherwise people won’t buy it.”
Li Yu was actually very satisfied with this price.
After all, the price of pork was only eight dimes at most. While elk meat was wild game, it could only be purchased by wealthy families who wanted to try something new.
In this era, who would be willing to spend the price of pork to buy elk meat that was almost all lean meat?
Even when buying pork, they had to buy fat ones, otherwise they would lose money.
So Li Yu agreed.
“Then let’s go with that price. Uncle, should I take the meat to you later?”
Li Xue Wu waved his hand.
“No need, I’ll ask Old Yu to drive a truck over later.”
“That works too. I’ll cut some meat for Old Yu later and let him take it home to eat.”
“You’re getting smarter and smarter.”
Li Xue Wu shook his head at him with a smile.
“Alright, what’s the other thing? If it’s not too troublesome, I’ll handle it for you!”
Speaking of this, Li Yu became serious.
“Uncle, guess what I saw at Eagle’s Beak Cliff yesterday?”
Li Xue Wu didn’t even raise his head and casually joked.
“What could it be? Nothing but bears, green-skinned creatures, big giant eggs, maybe even a giant claw!”
“Uncle, it really was a giant claw!”
“What?!”
Li Xue Wu hurriedly raised his head.
He stared at Li Yu seriously.
“Don’t be fooling around, boy. You can’t joke about this.”
“Uncle, I’m not joking. I really saw a giant claw.....”
Seeing that his uncle didn’t believe him, Li Yu told him everything that happened yesterday in detail.
Li Xue Wu picked up his water cup and swallowed, before asking.
“You mean to say that this giant claw appeared at Eagle’s Beak Cliff and drove all the livestock down the mountain?”
“Yes!”
Li Yu nodded.
“Otherwise, how could I have hunted a walking camel, big giant eggs, and a sika deer in the forest around our village?”
“I guess the group of green-skinned creatures we encountered last time were also driven out of their territory by the giant claw. They had nothing to eat, so they gathered their courage and attacked us.”
As Li Yu analyzed, Li Xue Wu also felt that these events could be linked together.
Otherwise, how could all these strange things happen out of the blue.
“Alright, I’ll have people go to the village to inform everyone, telling them not to go up the mountain for a while. I’ll also go to the commune to report this, and tell the surrounding villages to be careful as well.”
Li Xue Wu was really having a headache now.
His nephew really did him a big favor.
But now there was nothing he could do about it. He could only hope that the giant claw would not stay at Eagle’s Beak Cliff for too long, otherwise, the livestock it drove to the outskirts of the forest would eventually hurt people.
