Chapter 61: National bounty, hunting wild boars
Chen Sisi likes to eat delicious food, especially the food cooked by Su Ran. She always thinks that the food cooked by Su Ran is delicious.

Especially before Su Ran moved to my house, I could always eat all kinds of delicacies every night when I went to Su Ran's house.

Sometimes Chen Sisi thought that any girl who married him would be so happy that she would die.

She picked up a piece of what she thought was eel and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm..." Chen Sisi closed her eyes and enjoyed the food in her mouth. The meat was chewy and had a faint eel aroma. "It's delicious. It's really delicious."

Delicious food doesn’t actually need too many fancy words to praise. The fact that Chen Sisi stuffed her mouth full of lamprey meat in just a few bites was already a recognition of Su Ran’s cooking skills.

Aunt Wang also tasted it and it tasted really good. Seeing her daughter eating so unceremoniously, she tapped her daughter's hand with her chopsticks and said, "Girl, please don't eat so ugly."

Chen Sisi pursed her lips: "Who makes it so delicious? By the way, Su Ran, did you buy this eel at the market today? I remember you didn't drive the truck out."

Su Ran was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to explain to Chen Sisi that this was not the eel she had imagined: "If it tastes good, just eat it. Why are you asking so many questions?"

How could the old man who had lived in the forest for so long not know what this dish was? He didn’t point it out, but he just couldn’t help laughing while eating.

Chen Sisi frowned, feeling something was wrong, so she put down her bowl and chopsticks and walked out to the yard to find out what was going on. She remembered that Su Ran had filled a basin of water at the well, and the eels she had bought should have been placed in it.

Su Ran secretly cried out inwardly that something was wrong and wanted to remind Chen Sisi not to look. But as soon as she stepped out of the threshold, she saw Chen Sisi scream and sit down on the ground.

"I've already told you, just provide food, why are you asking so many questions?" Su Ran shook his head helplessly.

At the dinner table, Grandpa and Aunt Wang kept using their chopsticks. Aunt Wang poked Chen Sisi with her elbow and said, "Sisi, eat. If you don't eat, there will be no more."

"Mom, I don't want to eat it." When she thought of the disgusting lamprey she had just seen in the basin, with its mouthparts covered with barbs, she couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.

But Chen Sisi couldn't say that the disgusting thing was not delicious. Although it looked a little ugly, it was really delicious.

In the end, appetite overcame fear, and the last few pieces of lampreys completely entered Chen Sisi's stomach.

After dinner, Grandpa called Su Ran to his room. The old man has always had the habit of taking a nap, and recently Su Ran has also tasted the benefits of taking a nap.

In the rest room, grandpa leaning against the head of the bed reminded:

"In this climate, there will be a lot more bears and wild boars, so you should pay attention to safety."

Xiongbi is a brown bear. The grandfather looked serious and concerned about the safety of his grandson. Su Ran listened carefully and realized that human safety should not be taken lightly.

Su Ran put the Polygonum multiflorum into a foam box and covered it with some soil.

In the afternoon, Su Ran hired a car from an acquaintance to send the Polygonum multiflorum out.

The remaining lampreys were sold for 600 yuan, which was a considerable income.

After driving the truck home, Su Ran did not continue to rest, but went up the mountain to start patrolling and protecting the forest.

There is a state-owned forest farm in this forest, which is also one of the forest ranger stations in several nearby villages. Because it is in the opposite direction of Su Ran’s mountain climbing route, he has never been there once.

When Su Ran brought Dahei to the vicinity of the forest farm, he saw several staff members planting trees on a bare mountain.

The significance of state-owned forest farms is not only to provide forest resources through regular logging, but also to take into account the renewable nature of forests. The reason why the country prohibits logging is actually because many loggers only care about taking.

When we brought Dahei into the forestry station, the forest rangers didn't seem surprised by Dahei's appearance.

Having guarded the forest for so many years, the forest rangers have seen many storms. Sometimes, the forest rangers will accidentally rescue a wolf cub and bring it to the station to raise it together.

Zheng Yuanpeng, the person in charge of this site, brought Su Ran a cup of hot water and said welcomingly, "Isn't this Xiao Su? How come you have time to bring your little one here to have a look today?"

After taking the steaming hot tea and thanking him, Su Ran said, "Nothing. I just happened to walk here while patrolling the mountains, so I came here to rest."

Zheng Yuanpeng knew Su Ran. Maybe Su Ran didn't know him, but Zheng Yuanpeng had heard of this famous person a long time ago and admired him very much.

As an old forest ranger, he also said with concern: "Be careful when patrolling the mountains. There are more wild animals in the forest recently, and some migrating creatures have returned. It seems that a few days ago, one of our rangers was attacked by a wild boar and his hand was broken, but fortunately he survived."

It was indeed a great fortune to be lucky enough to survive the encounter with a wild boar, but Su Ran was not entirely worried: "I've taken note of your reminder, brother. I'll be careful."

Zheng Yuanpeng seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly came over to ask Su Ran: "I heard before that you have knocked down three wild boars by yourself, right? Recently, the superiors have put out a bounty for hunting, and the reward for killing a wild boar is 10,000. Are you interested?"

Wild boars can be said to be the most difficult creatures to maintain stable development in the ecosystem, and their reproductive capacity is extremely strong.

The gestation period of females is 4 months, and they give birth to 4-12 cubs in one litter. In addition, females in their peak reproductive period can give birth to two litters a year, usually one between April and May, and another in autumn.

Therefore, as long as there is a pair of male and female wild boars in an area, a regional outbreak of wild boars can be caused within a few years.

Just to say that Linhai kicked wild boars out of the list of protected animals several years ago.

But Su Ran remembered that the bonus was not that high, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "How did it become 10,000? I remember it was only 2,500 before?"

"Well, do you think this money is so easy to earn?" Zheng Yuanpeng said, "Let me tell you the truth. I just think you might have the ability, so I'm telling you this. In fact, the city government hasn't paid out a penny of the multi-million dollar reward."

"Why? No one is willing to go. It's really hard to make money. For example, a while ago, a guy from the next town also went hunting in the mountains with the dream of getting rich. He was caught in a trap set by other hunters before he even saw any wild boar hair."

Seeing Zheng Yuanpeng talking so excitedly, as if he had witnessed this incident with his own eyes, Su Ran inexplicably felt a sense of humor.

Su Ran now understood why the bounty was raised from 2,500 to 10,000, but he was afraid that no one would be willing to pay even if it increased by tens of thousands more.

The main regulations take the survival of other wild animals into consideration. Wild boars cannot be poisoned or killed with hunting rifles. Wild boars have thick skin and flesh, and it is difficult for bullets to penetrate them. How can ordinary villagers subdue them?

Seeing that Su Ran didn't say anything, Zheng Yuanpeng thought that he was afraid that the job was difficult, so he advised: "Well, I'm just saying that, don't take it too seriously. Anyway, this money is really not that easy to earn."

"But we have to solve this problem. If we wait any longer, wild boars may come down the mountain and attack farmers. So the higher-ups are planning to organize a special team to go up the mountain and kill wild boars."

"I think I can do it, brother. Where can I go to get the formalities? I'll go kill wild boars in our area." Su Ran was a little impatient. Killing a wild boar costs 10,000 yuan, so killing ten would be 100,000 yuan, right? What's the difference between this and picking up money?

Is this still a wild boar? It is a living wild boar.

Zheng Yuanpeng was stunned: "Brother Su, are you serious?"
