"Okay, master. Li Shuning sent the pheasants and hares that were thrown on the ground to Li Shenzhou.

Li Shenzhou casually took a pheasant and turned it up, "This pheasant has about a catty, who wants it?"

"I want, I want, here are two pounds of cornmeal. A lady came up with cornmeal, placed it on the table at will, and held the pheasant in her hand.

Li Shenzhou nodded, "Cheng, Shuzhi, remember the information of this eldest lady, so as not to have stubbles in the future." ”

"Cheng, cousin rest assured. Li Shuzhi took this and asked, "This aunt, please tell me your name; ”

"My name is Xu Juhua. ”

Li Shuzhi wrote down the things on the paper, and also wrote down the weight of the pheasant, the type and weight of the grain, "Okay, this aunt." ”

"Auntie, let the villagers in the back let them change and go home quickly!" Li Shenzhou said.

The lady carrying the pheasant smiled and squinted, "Okay, I'll leave now, thank you Shen Zhou girl." After speaking, he squeezed out with a smile and went out of the yard.

Li Shenzhou changed them one by one, and Li Shuzhi also recorded them one by one; but after a while, the pheasants and hares were all replaced, and some villagers were waiting in the yard.

"Shen Zhou, look at it, the pheasants and hares have been replaced, why don't you exchange some of your pork for us?" Uncle Tian said.

"Uncle Tian, didn't you change a pheasant before?" Li Shenzhou looked at him.

Uncle Tian smiled embarrassedly, "There are three children in the family, not counting adults, and that pheasant is enough to eat; ”

"Lao Tian, you are not kind, this wild boar is used by Shen Zhou and Shen Yuan for the day after tomorrow; you have exchanged the wild boar boar, what kind of meat will they use to treat them the day after tomorrow?" Bai Yiming's heart sank, got up and walked up to him, and whispered: "It's good to be able to eat meat this year, why do you want to eat it all at once?"

Uncle Tian was dumbfounded, his face was hot and panicked, "This can't be helped! We don't have the ability to go up the mountain to hunt, and we can't catch good things; Shen Zhou and Shen Yuan finally came back, and they caught so many good things again." ”

"It's not like you can change it if you want to. Bai Yiming frowned.

"Captain, you see, I can't help it! There are many children in the family, and I can't get a few times a year; you talk to Shen Yuan and Shen Zhou, I don't change more, one or two catties are fine. Uncle Tian grimaced.

Bai Yiming naturally knew the situation of the people in the village, but he ....... Looking back at Shen Yuan, who was cutting pork, they had beaten wild boars, and although there were wild boars on the mountain, they could not always encounter them. The time for their reception was set for the day after tomorrow, and the time was tight, and there was no food or meat.

"Captain?"

"I'll go and ask!" Bai Yiming was helpless, turned around and walked to Shen Yuan, "Shen Yuan, can you change this wild boar?"

Li Shenyuan's hand stopped, and he looked up at Bai Yiming, "What does Uncle Bai mean?"

Although the people in our village rely on the mountains, their lives are really hard, and they can't eat meat a few times a year, but this time when I saw you coming back from hunting so much game, I wanted to change some meat to eat. Bai Yiming made a good preparation in front of him, and continued: "I think this, you and Shen Zhou want to have a treat, your family should have no food; it is better to exchange half a wild boar meat for some food! I know that you have money, but if you buy too much at one time, it will not make people blush! It is better to exchange it with the people in the village, and on the day you have a treat, you don't need too much meat or anything." As long as there's meat.

"There is a pond in the next village, and there are a lot of fish in it, and when the time comes, I will go and tell you about it, and sell some for you to treat. By the way, you can also let the people in the village help, no, everyone has to come and go to be affectionate. ”

When Li Shenyuan heard this, his heart moved, and he listened to these words; I have to say that these words are very right, pork or something is about the same as a half, and when he hits a wild boar, he plans to make more meat if he has more, and less meat when he has less.

"Uncle Bai thinks about me and Zhouzhou, I understand, then according to what Uncle Bai said, it's just that the meat hasn't been cleaned up yet, and it hasn't been cut well, so I have to let the villagers wait more. ”

"That's fine. Bai Yiming smiled with satisfaction, turned around and said to everyone: "If you want to change the wild boar, just wait, and if you don't want to change, you can go back first." ”

"I'm waiting, I didn't change the pheasant and the hare, just waiting for the wild boar. ”

After a long time, these people still came to wait for the wild boar.

Li Shenzhou laughed, got up and walked to Shen Yuan's side, and reached out to help him deal with the wild boar together.

Li Shenyuan blocked it with his arm, "Don't do it, the smell of blood is very heavy, you go to the stove room and bring some hot water to rinse this meat!"

"Good. Li Shenzhou turned around and went to the stove room and brought a bucket of warm water out to rinse the wild boar.

With the water rinsing, Li Shenyuan's hands are not so slimy, and they are faster to cut, and he cleanly cut the meat into pounds and pieces, and all the bones are sliced and thrown aside.

There were more than a dozen people who stayed to exchange for wild boar, and they exchanged for more than 10 or 20 catties of wild boar; then, one after another, people from the village came to buy meat, and the amount of meat exchanged was small, some asked for a few taels, and some asked for a catty.

When they were finished, more than 40 catties of pork were exchanged, and the grain was changed to about 80 catties, and there were various types, including cornmeal and sorghum flour, all of which were coarse grains, and none of them were fine grains.

Li Shenzhou and Li Shenyuan looked at these grains, and they both understood in their hearts that these grains could only be used for entertaining.

"Uncle Bai, sit down, I didn't have time to prepare anything in a hurry when I came back, and the time is also tight, I have to treat you the day after tomorrow, meat and vegetables, and Uncle Bai has to come forward to help collect it in the village." Our family will give us some food stamps or money, depending on how everyone is willing to exchange it. ”

Bai Yiming understood what he was talking about, not trading; in this era, you can exchange things, but you must not buy and sell them privately, that is a big taboo.

Even though they are all from the same village, not everyone in the village is united.

"Yes, I have a lot of vegetables at home, and pickles, and I'll ask your aunt to bring them to you later." Bai Yiming responded, "Do you want fish?" I'll talk to the next village." ”

Li Shenyuan thanked him, "Then it's troublesome Uncle Bai, with pork, fish, and vegetables, it's almost inseparable; tomorrow I will take Shuzhi and Shuning to the county seat to buy some more food, and I can make do with the banquet." At that time, I have to trouble Uncle Bai to talk to the people in the village, and find a diligent and capable person to come over to help. ”

"That's no problem, I'll do it for you. Bai Yiming readily agreed, and told him about the banquet the day after tomorrow, not to hold a wedding in the village, but to have a meal to let everyone know that they are married, but they can't be sloppy.

After talking for a long time, seeing that it was getting dark, Bai Yiming got up and said goodbye.

Li Shenzhou pulled over the little boy who was inconspicuous in the corner of the wall and silently reduced his sense of presence to Bai Yiming, "Uncle Bai, do you see that this child is a child from the family in the village?"
