Chapter 042: Vacation into the Mountain

Wild boars sell meat, leopards sell skins.

Poachers often appear in this mountain, and it is the leopards in this mountain that come to hunt.

But Ling Wenjiao will not take the initiative to provoke this kind of thing, with her current reaction nerves, it is okay to encounter wild boars, but it may be encountered when encountering leopards.

I really can't do it, so I'll just catch some birds and come back...... Eagles can also be sold for money. Didn't the night bird I caught last time change for a hundred dollars!

This time, because she had come in earlier than the previous two times, and had walked fast, she had arrived in front of the cave before three o'clock in the afternoon.

Ling Wenjiao first put the things in the cave, and then began to wash the pot and cook.

After eating some food with mustard, she began to follow the stream under the waterfall, holding a bag and starting to pick up snails.

There are many stones in this kind of mountain stream, and there are more stone snails at all. Occasionally, in some places with silt, a few snails will be picked up.

It's not that snails are only found in the fields, but in streams and ditches, but there are few.

Anyway, except for a long trumpet snail in the sand, she doesn't pick it up, and the other field snails, stone snails, and small clams are all picked up. Then I caught a few fish and a yellow eel at random.

Before dark, she returned to the cave wet, poured the snail there with a large leaf, and then cooked yellow eel porridge for dinner. Then after the pot is washed, soak the snails in the pot overnight.

She didn't go to the next set for the first night, and after a full meal, she rested for a while, and took a knife to cut the nearby mangosteen before dark.

I cut down a large bundle of thumb-thick bamboo, and found some ground vines along the way.

The wild bamboos on this high mountain are all small bamboos, and if there is no big bamboo, there will be large hemp bamboos under the mountain.

It was already dark when she came down, but fortunately she brought a flashlight and an oil lamp.

While lighting an oil lamp and burning a pyre, in the dark mountain forest, there was an orange light in front of the cave.

She quickly weaved the bamboo into a bamboo row about one meter and two wide, and then cut two vertical trees around it, the trunk of which was only as thick as an arm.

Ling Wenjiao cut the two small trees into half-meter-long sections, each of which was the same length.

Then she nailed the wooden pillars to the bamboo row in three rows, one at the head and one at the end, and one at the waist, so that the bamboo bed was formed.

The nails and hammers were also borrowed by her from Du Xiguang's house.

When she was done, she turned the small bamboo bed over and put it on the ground with her feet down, and a small bed for a single person to sleep on was formed.

Dragged into the cave, swept the hay before, put the bed over and was done.

However, lying directly on the bamboo bed still hurts her lower back, so she went to get some grass to spread it on.

Early the next morning, she took a knife and cut off the tails of all the snails she had picked up yesterday, then put them in a pot to cook, and then went to pick some wild vegetables and came back.

After eating a snail breakfast, she cooked some dry rice, then wrapped it into a ball and put it in an iron lunch box and put it in a bag.

Then she took her knife and began to make a new bow, and when she had made it, she put it on her back and began to walk up the hill, looking for some branches to sharpen arrows as she went.

I walked in the mountains all day, and at noon I shot two birds in the mountains and roasted them and ate them with the rice balls, and only returned to the cave when it was almost dark.

On this day, she carefully checked in the mountains, but she didn't see what she wanted to see.

But she was normal, she knew it wasn't something that could be found in a day or two.

So she took the pot with flour, salt, and sugar, and began to walk around the mountains with a cloth bag on her back, and she ate in a pot wherever she went.

I simply mixed the flour with glutinous rice flour, salt sugar, and bird's eggs I had brought up, mixed them with water, and then fried them in a pan with oil to form pieces of glutinous rice cakes.

Or use the leaves to pad the steamed glutinous rice balls, or the noodles below.

After staying in the mountains for a few days, when it was time to get her report card, she came out of the mountains. Anyway, she stayed in the mountains, and she didn't come back empty-handed.

The big one didn't catch it, but it caught a pheasant and a few snakes. The snakes are big and heavy, but they can be bought for a good price.

These are generally sold in restaurants.

The price of pheasants is not as expensive as the night bird caught before, but it is also a few dozen dollars a piece. If she had taken it to town herself, she might have been able to find a higher bidder.

However, she had already negotiated with Uncle Niu before, so let the middle-aged uncle earn the difference.

After coming down from the mountain, she took the pheasant and the snakes to Uncle Niu's house.

"Uncle Niu. Seeing that the door of Uncle Niu's house was open, she shouted softly.

"It's coming. Uncle Niu came out of the kitchen and saw a man in black and wearing a hat standing in his yard.

Take a closer look: "Alas, aren't you the girl from Lingjia Village?" Your parents are crazy looking for you these days, are you in the mountains?"

Ling Wenjiao remembered that when Xia Yulan was making trouble at school, she said before leaving that she would let Ling Hong come and catch her back, but Ling Hong never came, and she didn't know if she didn't tell Ling Hong, or if Ling Hong had other ideas.

So Ling Wenjiao was quiet for a few days, and after the exam, she went to the mountains on vacation.

Unexpectedly, these days, Xia Yulan has made trouble again.

She said expressionlessly: "Uncle, this is my family's business, you don't care." I did go into the mountains and brought you some goods. Look at it, whether you take it or not. ”

Uncle Niu didn't ask much, and nodded: "Well, let's come to the house first." I'll see what it is...... Oh, there's a pheasant. What's in the bag?"

The pheasant Ling Wenjiao was hanging on a branch with her feet tied and carrying it on her shoulders, and she saw it at a glance.

Ling Wenjiao handed over the bag and replied, "A few snakes." ”

Uncle Niu opened the bag and took a look inside, and was surprised: "Yo! There is a very big one! This alone can cook a big pot of dragon and phoenix pot." ”

Ling Wenjiao said: "You calculate how much money is together." ”

Uncle Niu looked at her and laughed, and said, "You girl is actually quite capable." Come, I'll do the math for you, this pheasant uncle will give you 50 yuan a piece, and then these snakes, the big one will give you 15 yuan, and the small one will be eight yuan. There are 24 pieces of three together, and 39 pieces of the enlarged one, and then a total of 89 pieces. You wait, I'll put these guys in the cage first. ”

Ling Wenjiao nodded: "Yes." ”

The snake and pheasant at this time are at this price. In snakes, money is generally calculated by volume. If it's Montenegrin wind, it's a little more expensive.

Uncle Niu took both the pheasant and the snake in, and after a while, he came out with the empty bag and went into the bedroom, and came out with the money and gave it to Ling Wenjiao with the bag.

"Come, take it. Go back, you've been wearing this dress for days, go back and change. ”

Ling Wenjiao took it and nodded, "Hmm." ”

Her clothes were worn in the mountains for several days, and although she bathed every day in the water from the mountain stream, she could not change her clothes.

So her clothes were wrinkled and dirty, and at a glance she could see that she hadn't changed her clothes for a few days.

turned around and lowered his hat and left Uncle Niu's house, and then quickly left the Wufeng team.
