Chapter 010 Useful Individuals

Gu Siwei was just thinking about his own cozy spot when he suddenly heard someone on the shore calling his name

This ... ...

Several individuals were just in a meeting, and the content of the meeting was related to Gu Siwei

In 1958, the great leader emphasized the importance of agricultural water conservancy construction, stating that many people mean great strength. Consequently, everyone energetically began to have children, with almost every family having several. With an increase in children, how could there not be an increase in the population?

"It must weigh around 300 pounds," Guo Xiangping glanced at the wild boar, lifted one of its legs with a single hand, and estimated its weight.

Gu Siwei remained unfazed, continuing to stand on the raft as it drifted downstream towards the village, while Liu Dezhuz followed the raft at a run

However, after some thought, I believe he definitely cannot see it; the raft only comes out from the mountain mouth after I have properly placed the pig.

The adults, along with the children, not only pulled the wild boar onto the shore but also brought the persimmon basket from the raft, along with the raft itself, onto the shore.

The villagers may not understand profound principles, but they do grasp this simple truth. They may not articulate it clearly, yet they comprehend it

I came over to see if you have returned Liu Dezhuzhu had a silly smile on his face

miscalculation

"With just this one pig, do you still expect to eat until spring?"

Gu Siwei quickly said: "Where? I found it. One of the two wild boars fighting fell off the cliff and I just happened to pick it up..."

Liu Fulin looked at Gu Siwei with an expression of disbelief: "Did you hunt this wild boar?"

As I pondered, time swiftly passed by, and by the time Gu Siwei awoke, the raft was already nearing the mouth of the mountain.

Dezhu, how did you end up here

What a large wild boar, it must weigh around 300 pounds

One person, one meal, one pound of meat is certainly not feasible. Not to mention the current situation with the *illustrated* documents, even in the past when the population was less than half during Zhuangzi's time, such consumption did not exist.

"Neither more nor less, good heavens, at this size, it must be almost supernatural"

Fortunately, the pig was half-dead and showed no signs of struggle. Everyone tied up the pig, and the butcher, wielding a military dagger, swiftly pierced the large artery in the pig's neck with a single stroke

As Gu Siwei entered the courtyard of the dining hall, he was immediately greeted by someone.

"Luan Dashou, do you dare to say that you are not tempted?" Guo Xiangping retorted to Luan Dashou, who was about the same age as him

At this moment, Liu Fulin and Yang Chuanwu, accompanied by several elderly men from the village, arrived slowly.

A group of children, both big and small, were joyfully shouting on the road, making such a racket that the adults' heads were aching

Naturally, there are people who engage in the task of slaughtering pigs. Although I haven't eaten pork in a long time, many still possess the skill of pig slaughtering

Gu Siwei is quite strange

When Gu Siwei arrived at the dining hall, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was different today; in the past, during meals, everyone seemed a bit lifeless.

Upon reflection, his original thoughts began to waver, and for a moment, he could not determine whether settling in the village was a good thing or a bad thing

Upon hearing this matter, no one would dare to decline. Even a fool knows that such a large wild boar surely belongs to the village, which means everyone will soon enjoy a feast.

The kind of running that can go a long distance

Along with it, Gu Siwei's nest of fur became damp

... ...

Do not mention anything else; let's first get to work and deal with the pigs. It has been over six months since we last saw wild boars, so today everyone should enjoy a good meal

Guo Xiangping said with a smile

Gu Siwei was joking and laughing with everyone

Gu Siwei was originally in a good mood, having caught a large wild boar. While he was floating down the river on a raft with the books, new ideas began to form in his mind.

With Liu Dezhuz's loud voice, as Gu Siwei's raft just entered the village, everyone ran out to see the wild boar had arrived

However, now Gu Siwei is capable of supporting himself, and judging by his methods, he is able to live quite well. This newcomer is indeed impressive

Yang Chuanwu watched Gu Siwei leave, glanced at the wild boar, and smiled at everyone, saying, "We still underestimated them"

Typically, starting from the offal of the pig, as long as there is a meaty flavor in each meal, it suffices. Who among us has the face to eat a large bowl of pure meat?

The villagers looked at the wild boar on the raft, chattering among themselves.

He felt that there was no need for him to settle down in the village. He had been living quite freely in the wild these days. Even for necessities like salt, he could obtain them through trade. He did not believe that he could not exchange a wild boar for a bag of salt.

Yang Chuanwu heard the commotion and shouted loudly. Consequently, everyone joyfully returned with a unicycle, lifting the wild boar, which was still clinging to life, onto the unicycle. A strong man pushed while another strong man supported it as they headed towards the dining hall

Upon seeing the wild boar, everyone's mood improved significantly

Go buy some; otherwise, as soon as spring arrives, this meat will not keep.

Gu Siwei glanced at the hair nest on his foot and sighed, uttering this remark.

Upon arriving at the dining hall, everyone began to eat together. The porridge that had been cooking in the large pot was directly served, and the fire was changed to boil water for the pig.

Yang Chuanwu exchanged some pleasantries.

"Old Liu, my shoes are wet; I will go back to warm up by the fire. Captain Yang, please carry this pig back to the dining hall; consider it a gift from me to everyone"

At this moment, Yang Chuanwu said: "Everyone, let’s get to work at https://www.hetushucom.com, no need to waste time talking. Let’s finish up quickly, and after dinner, we can start cooking the meat and marinating the rest."

At this time, the women's work began, and the tasks of washing and cleaning were assigned to them

Currently, there are indeed very few men working in the village, but there are quite a number of children of all ages. Almost half of the entire village consists of children. To put it this way, each household has at least three children, four or five is common, and six or seven is considered a lot. Even households with around ten children do exist in the village, but they are not in the sixth team; rather, they are in the first team.

Since Gu Siwei brought back a few chickens and some persimmons, Liu Fulin, Yang Chuanwu, and others have changed their perception of Gu Siwei

It is certainly not feasible for a newcomer to sustain themselves in the village, as the villagers are on the brink of starvation, leaving no food available to support a newcomer

Comrade Gu, is the Mao Zedong-style roast ready

"Wild boar, did you hunt such a large wild boar?"

Hiss

After a discussion among everyone, Liu Fulin accepted a new task, which was to investigate whether Gu Siwei intended to settle in the village

Gu Siwei directed a remark towards Liu Fulin, then followed Liu Dezhu as they headed towards the Liu family home

It is not merely that we have recognized Gu Siwei's skill in catching wild chickens, but rather that we are considering how such a capable laborer can always help alleviate some of the pressure on the village

Originally, everyone would just nod at him, but today most people want to chat with him for a sentence or two. Although it is just small talk, it is clearly very different from before

Not dead

Guo Xiangping, at your age, how can you still be so gluttonous

Where does the salt come from

Replaced with a new pair

"Pillar, take that new pair of woolen socks from home for your Uncle Gu first. The wet ones can be dried later by the stove and in the sun," Liu Fulin said to his grandson.

However, this statement is merely meant to deceive ordinary people. The several old patrons in the village, having experienced many years, are almost wise beyond their years; how could they possibly believe his words

Gu Siwei believes that his ability to handle situations is quite good

Gu Siwei said: "Please do not be so polite, just greet the guests."

Gu Siwei was startled by him, worried that this young man might have seen him moving pigs out of the space

Liu Dezhuz's mind is not very sharp, but his eyesight is excellent. After running a few steps, he saw a large wild boar placed on Gu Siwei's raft and immediately shouted out.

Jian Gu Siwei has been in the mountains for two or three days, so he came over here to wait. He has been waiting since morning until now. If Gu Siwei does not return soon, he will have to go back to the village for lunch.

How did you find it? Brother Gu, your luck is truly remarkable

Gu Siwei glanced at the shore and noticed that Liu Fulin and Yang Chuanwu were not among the crowd on the bank. He then shouted to the people on the shore: "Everyone, please help and drag the wild boar ashore"

This large wild boar, if consumed sparingly, can provide enough food for the entire village for half a month

"It wasn't me who typed it; I found it," Gu Siwei smiled.

Alright!

I will still go along with it

However, today everyone seems to possess something called vitality.

Liu Dezhuzhu still believes that Gu Siwei is a spy, so he naturally wants to investigate. This foolish boy has seen some amateurish tricks in movies, but he knows nothing about real investigation. In any case, his dim-witted mind thinks whatever it wants, completely lacking any method or strategy

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Gu Siwei discovered that he did not know when Liu Dezhu had jumped out from the wild reeds by the riverbank, waving his hand at him

As the raft approached the shore, the crowd gathered by the water's edge at hetushucom.com immediately erupted in a chorus of exclamations

However, they do not confront Gu Siwei. As capable old-timers, they surely harbor secrets within. If they do not wish to speak, you have no right to inquire. Some of this knowledge may be hard-earned experience passed down through generations, so why should they divulge it simply because you ask?

still alive

Alright, let's tidy up first

Brother Gu!

The wild boar dragged ashore may have been possessed by some spirit, or it could have been the last flicker of life before its death, suddenly grunting twice, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise

Taking the half-dead wild boar out of the space and placing it on the raft, the raft almost immediately began to sink beneath the water's surface

Having collected the pig's blood, the next step is to scald the pig. After scraping off most of the hair from the pig's body, the abdomen is then opened to remove the internal organs

How incredible, that such a young man could actually catch such a large wild boar

Several people gasped instinctively upon seeing the wild boar on the shore

For a village to develop and thrive, it must first have people; without people, there is nothing to discuss. This is especially true for a village located deep in the mountains, which requires a population, particularly able-bodied individuals, preferably from outside.

Of course, Gu Siwei can definitely eat it; he has the privilege because he brought the pig. If anyone has any objections, they can go catch one themselves

Upon seeing a large wild boar, Liu Dezhuzhu was almost beside himself with joy. At that moment, he completely cast aside the thought that Gu Siwei was a spy, his mind filled only with the image of the wild boar on the raft

The enormous wild boar intimidated those influential individuals in the village. Not to mention just one person, even if they banded together, if they did not have a hunting rifle at hand, their only option upon seeing such a wild boar would be to run away
