"That's not bad, it's good to be able to catch it on the first hunt." Lu Ming cut off the branches, stuck them in the rabbit's body, and set them on the shelf on the fire.

"Hmph, I haven't even seen what you hit, I've shot several arrows, and your arrows are all iron-plated, it shouldn't be expensive, don't you pick them up?" Chu Ying disemboweled the plucked wild pheasant and cleaned it up.

"Agui is not here today, he went to find it on weekdays, but this kind of thing is lost when it is lost, and it is just idle to have fun, so you don't have to be so serious."

"Why did you stop me just now? The wild deer's coat is so bright, it will definitely sell for a lot of money if it is shot. Lu Ming gestured on his stomach.

"Look at you as a novice, the deer is pregnant, or run faster, and her belly is a little big, but not so big that you can find out, shooting pregnant animals is a mistake that many novices will make, I have shot a few before, but after watching for a long time, I know which ones are pregnant." Waiting for it to be almost roasted, Lu Ming took a knife and cut a slice of rabbit meat to taste it first.

"It would be nice to add some more powder, hey." Hu Fan Chu Ying heard Ye Qiu say that it was a very valuable spice, and it tasted like pepper.

"I know Hu Fan, but it seems to be very expensive."

"That's nature, coming from the Western Regions, taking the Silk Road, the sound of camel bells, thousands of miles of mountains, nine deaths, the things brought over are naturally much more expensive, and things are scarce, and a good quality catty can cost one or two silver."

Chu Ying felt that the pepper turned into a serf and sang, turning from an ordinary condiment to a spice that could only be enjoyed by the upper class, "Can't you grow it yourself?" "

"The ones that are shipped are all sun-dried, so they shouldn't be able to be planted, and don't you know that oranges are oranges when they are born in Huainan, and oranges are oranges when they are born in Huaibei?" Chu Ying looked at Lu Ming, who was eating with relish, she was not interested, she was thinking about those Hu powders, if she could get such a plant and plant it alive, then the seeds that were harvested would be planted again, and the income would be huge.

In the afternoon, he accompanied Lu Ming to inspect this large area of woods again, and when he encountered a rough road, he walked down and led the horse to walk over, and found some fig trees along the way, Chu Ying marked them on the road, and when the figs grow, he could come to see these fruits, and if there were any, he could pick some and go home to eat or pickle them.

The trees planted at home will not bear fruit in a year or two, "Your accuracy is not good, you will get better with more practice, and it is extremely good for a girl to be able to do this now." "

Chu Ying dismounted and returned the horse to Lu Ming's servant, with two wild pheasants hanging around her waist, and she could add food to the family when she went back, "En, I really benefited a lot today, I don't need to give the money, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know the distribution of animals in this area." "

"The money still has to be given, the gentleman is hard to chase after a word, if you don't give it this time, you won't believe me next time, but I don't have so much on me, I will send it to your house when the time comes, Ah Gui, I will send half a tael of silver to Miss Chu when the time comes."

"Okay, young master." Ah Gui got on the horse and went back with Lu Ming, and the young master is now spending more and more money.

Chu Ying and the villagers in the countryside smiled friendly, although they didn't seem to know themselves at all, and when the smoke had risen at home, Chu Ying handed over the wild pheasant to her aunt first.

"These two pheasants are very fat, you beat them?" My aunt wiped her hands on the apron, which was different from modern times, except that it was a piece of cloth with two ropes sewn at one end and tied around the waist.

"What's the matter, I can hunt, then there will be endless game, this is Young Master Lu's hunting. Auntie, where's Ye Qiu? Chu Ying looked around but didn't see Ye Qiu, she would help her aunt do things on weekdays.

"In learning to weave, you have to learn in the future, weaving when the time comes, you have to pay taxes, or collect hemp to others to change cloth, it's good to weave at home, but this loom costs 3 taels, but weaving can be woven back in two years."

Chu Ying ran to see Ye Qiu, who was laboriously weaving, her movements were very slow, and she paused to think about what to do next, holding the shuttle in her hand in a daze, feeling that Ye Qiu seemed to have confused herself.

"Lady, I will farm and come to you to weave, and the husband and wife will return the home." Chu Ying hugged Ye Qiu from behind, "Ah, you've confused me again." "

Chu Ying felt dizzy when she looked at the threads on it, "It's so troublesome?" "

"It's not very troublesome, it's just going back and forth, okay, okay, don't bother me, you can go play." Chu Ying pursed her lips and looked at Ye Qiu quietly on the side.

Looking at dozens of white threads from the coil slowly around several wooden holes, and then neatly arranged down into two rows, the ancients were really wise, this is just a monochrome cloth is already a little difficult to understand, other silk silk is more time-consuming and laborious, so the ancient silk silk can be used as money, which is considered an item with fixed value.

"Did you see it?" Ye Qiu raised his eyes and looked at Chu Ying, who was a little stunned, "It seems that there will be some, I'll try it." Chu Ying sat down and slowly passed the shuttle through the ball again, and then pushed a piece of wood forward, pushing the crossed junction to one place, so that the more you pushed, the more you pushed, the more you put on the linen.

"Look at a piece of cloth over there, isn't it more transparent?" Chu Ying looked at the kudzu cloth on the shelf behind her, the kudzu cloth was lighter and thinner than linen, and the texture was quite good, coarser than the modern chiffon texture.

"Very good, how much money does this cost?"

"It's not expensive, 2 dollars of silver a horse, eat, let's get it tomorrow." Chu Ying sat at the low table where the meal was set, but she didn't see her little nephew today, so she probably went to study in the academy.

"Sakura, you can't be favored like this for no reason in the future, even if it's a pheasant, not a single feather." The old woman Chu dipped her chicken thighs in soy sauce and sandwiched them into Chu Ying's bowl.

"It's not for nothing, I understand that there is no merit, this is Young Master Lu who rewarded me for playing with him for a day, Young Master Yan didn't come today."

"I heard that something was called back, there is a war in the north, and Young Master Yan is accompanying his father to the north, and I don't know if the war in the north will spread to us." The uncle, who had not spoken for a long time, said this coldly.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's been okay for so many years, didn't you also say that there was a war in the north before? Later, it was still fine, but Li Zheng said that now the imperial court has a new policy, so that everyone can have more men, and those who give birth to men can pay less taxes than those who give birth to women. "

"Eat." Chu Ying looked at the old woman Chu with anger on her face, and felt that Chu Ying was still quite interested in raking rice with her head down, and she was still quite interested in the war or something, but she was still too young, and she was still a daughter, and she didn't know if she could join the army for her father like Mulan in the future.

This time after eating the sweetness of hunting, Chu Ying went back to practice archery more diligently, and also to feed his Changsheng well, hunting has squatting hunting and riding horses, and when Changsheng grows up, he can ride him to hunt in the woods.
