Waiting in front of a raised bamboo house, Chu Ying pulled out the bamboo made of Changsheng and led Changsheng to the front of the rejection horse, which is a movable wooden obstacle, with a large log as a crossbar, a cross chisel hole on it, and several wooden poles one zhang long are installed, the upper end is sharpened, and the lower end is a crossbar bracket.

The periphery of this bamboo house is inserted with antler wood, with bamboo pieces, both ends sharpened a section of deep insertion in the soil, buried more than a foot, the exposed bamboo pieces are several feet long, in the periphery of the antler wood Chu Ying to reduce the length, so that small animals can also block.

Only the side section is where the horses are placed, and the others are full of antler wood, because this is the mountain, there will still be a lot of nocturnal animals out at night, and these can also resist it.

Chu Ying tied Changsheng to a big tree and let it eat the grass on the ground, but this piece was almost eaten by him, so he took some grass and carried the two baskets on his back.

The balcony of the bamboo building was full of animal skins that were drying and all kinds of meat that was being dried, Chu Ying took out the 7 pheasants, 2 partridges and 4 turtledoves in the basket and fed some water and steamed cake pieces, if they could live tomorrow, they would not be killed and sold directly in the market or brought back to the study for Ye Qiu to raise for a few days.

These are all small heads, Chu Ying poured another basket on the bamboo mat, inside were two wild boars and a male deer, if it wasn't for the beginning of spring, the other doe herself wanted to bring back. These three Chu Ying have all been slightly treated, and they have all hollowed out their internal organs, washed them, and smeared them with salt.

Chu Ying cut their meat into picks and dried them on the small bamboo shelves, and waited for the meat slices to be hung up, Chu Ying took out the half-eaten civet meat and cut it into pieces, added some ginger slices, and put it in a clay pot to make broth. There is also a well dug next to this bamboo building, if the materials are enough, Chu Ying can live here for a long time.

Chu Ying put small pieces of meat and large pieces of dried meat in fine sacks, put them in a back basket, and put the deerskin on the balcony to dry. Put away all the furs that have been almost sunburned, wrap them up, and put them up, and you can go into the city tomorrow to exchange money.

Although the study is now some income, but has not recovered the capital, if you want to get back all the money invested, according to the current daily income will need to live for 2 years, even if the study has not been profitable, it's okay, anyway, the money has been spent.

However, the 5 little servants sent by Lu Ming caused a lot of burden on themselves, originally they were two people, Ye Qiu, Chu Ying could barely be regarded as one person to feed the whole family, but now when she went back and saw them, she felt that they were chicks waiting to be fed.

Even if there are two steamed cakes per person a day, then 0 steamed cakes will be gone this day, although they signed a deed of sale, Chu Ying still feels that it is still a little difficult to raise such a few people. originally wanted to have a few more boys, but Lu Ming said that no one would sell boys in the famine year, and it was usually the girls in the sellers.

There is only one boy among the 5 people, and this boy is still dumb with a fever and a hoarse throat, but he knows how to read, and he can read quietly for a day by giving him a book, and it is okay to carry heavy objects, but he eats more than girls.

Chu Ying has now paid off all the money owed to Lu Ming by relying on her paper-like business, and after deducting the 30 taels of 0 acres of good land she bought at the beginning of last year, there are still 50 taels of silver left. Originally, Chu Ying didn't plan to buy any more land, but after raising those 5 cubs for a while, Chu Ying felt that if she didn't buy some good land, she would be eaten poor immediately.

With the silver money he saved from hunting, there are now a total of 5 taels. It's not that Chu Ying doesn't hunt much, but she only sells fur, and the meat is dried into jerky and taken back for family use, which adds up to a total of 7 people who have to eat a lot of meat a month, and a lot of dried meat Ye Qiu has been saved, and he is not afraid of hunting less in winter.

This time, if you sell the fur again, you can just make up 60 taels, and you can get an extra 3 taels of silver, and you can buy a long-loved iron pot. On the second day, Chu Ying sold the furs and poultry for silver, and then ransomed the custom-made iron pot.

Originally, it was still the immediate sense of a rich woman, but she bought an iron pot and suddenly returned to before liberation, this iron pot is really a luxury, thinking that there are only 5 families in this city, Chu Ying put the three layers of the iron pot and the outer three layers tightly before putting it in the back basket.

Originally, when I came, it was a large cart of copper plates, and when I went back, I carried an iron pot, and I had a feeling that all my net worth was on my back.

When he arrived at home, Chu Ying hurriedly used the remaining few adobe bricks to build a stove, and when it was almost dark, he finally set it up, put the iron pot on the stove, and put a wooden shovel, Chu Ying had no money to buy another shovel.

"Hei Tan said that you took the silver money from Young Master Lu's side, what are you doing with this, how unsafe it is to put it at home, this ...... What is it? Ye Qiu sealed the jars of dried meat and carried them into the storage room next to the kitchen one by one.

"Iron pot, ......"

"I know it's iron, why are you buying this?" Seeing Ye Qiu's frowns, Chu Ying picked up the wooden shovel and made a stir-fry action.

"Stir-fry, Lu Ming said that this stir-fry is much more delicious than steamed dishes, but it costs a lot of oil, it's okay, I have accumulated a lot of fat and oil while hunting, and now I can take it out and slowly boil the oil."

Ye Qiu watched Chu Ying knock the small jars open the mud on them, lift the bamboo leaves, and use a wooden spoon to get out the oil cubes. Ye Qiu crossed his hands on his hips, and his apricot eyes glared slightly, "This silver coin was changed for this pot, right?" ”

"Eun." Chu Ying put all the oil blocks and lit the fire, these oil blocks have been preserved with some salt, and the oil boiled out will also have a salty taste, so there is no need to put salt at that time.

Ye Qiu looked at Chu Ying, who was smiling and couldn't close her mouth and was controlling the flames, not too prosperous, originally thinking that this child should not be too tired and go hunting in the mountains every day, and with those silver coins, he could have a good rest, but this child actually did such a ridiculous thing, but this is not his own silver money and cannot be hidden.

"I want to see how delicious the food made by this iron pot is, and how delicious it can be for my tongue?" Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu, who was leaving in a negative mood, and knew that her move must be crazy in her eyes.

But I really want to eat a bite of stir-fried food, but the most important thing is that the number of people in the study is gradually increasing, if it is just a daily supply of steamed cakes, it is really not profitable, with an iron pot can make many dishes, to avoid the disadvantages of insufficient thermal conductivity of the clay pot can not be cooked quickly.

With this wok, you can make fast food, and I have seen a wooden lattice lunch box in the market before, but it is relatively deep, and it is estimated that there is a lot of soup for steamed food, and it cannot be made into a shallow dish like modern times.

Chu Ying fried mustard greens, minced meat beans and sauerkraut fried meat, because there was no MSG in this era, soy sauce could only be used to improve freshness, but the taste was still quite good. After making a few more side dishes, he asked Ye Qiu to call everyone else over.

Chu Ying didn't think about using the iron pot, a relatively rare thing, as a gimmick to open a restaurant or something, but many modern common ingredients here have not been imported yet, and oil is needed for stir-frying.
