Chapter 725: Heavy Snow Covers Orion (Fourth Update)
"It's a lot of snow, let's go, go to Li's Zhuangzi." Orion Hu Feng said to the six apprentices in front of him.
Ever since he discovered that the Khitan army was making money, he has been maintaining, renovating, and resupplying the hunters' huts in the mountains.
His apprentices all bought houses, and a few days ago they finally repaired them, and several apprentices followed their daughters-in-law back to their parents' homes.
If you have money, you have your own house in Chang'an, bring your things, and go to your mother-in-law's house to have a look.
One is filial piety, and the other is showmanship.
The remaining five apprentices did not leave, plus Hu Xiaofeng, a total of six.
When it snows, Hu Feng wants to go into the mountains to hunt and prepare for the New Year.
Six people, with thirteen dogs, set off, and in less than two quarters of an hour, arrived at the Li family Zhuangzi.
Li Yi got the news and personally welcomed people in.
"Master Hu, are you going out hunting?" Li Yi asked with a smile when he saw everyone's dress.
"Otherwise, I won't be able to eat, and I still have a family to support." Hu Feng also said with a smile.
In fact, his family's money is enough to spend, and the apprentices will be filial, and the two houses in the family will be rented out.
There is land outside the city, and only two acres are left for planting vegetables, and the rest is still tenant out.
This year, his family planted a greenhouse, and he took two acres, and his family took care of it, and he hunted like a play.
The farmers saw Hu Feng coming and prepared things.
Crossbows and binoculars, compressed biscuits, fine salt, large grains of salt, and bad wheat flour mixed with Kang's brown bread.
There are also steamed and dried rice grains, which can be left for several years and slowly held in the mouth or soaked in water when eating.
Medical alcohol, absorbent cotton, bandages in bottles.
An additional military kettle was given, a set of the kind, which was a high-grade liquor that was distilled and cellared for a year.
Hu Feng and the others came to receive things, they brought a big bag by themselves, and took another big bag from Zhuangzi.
They knew that large grains of salt, dried grains of rice, and black bread were used to keep them in the hunter's hut.
The rest was for them, and they sent brown bread and large grains of salt to the surrounding hunters' huts.
Give other hunters *** salt to prepare for other hunters to heal their wounds.
The refined salt is clean and fine, and if it is injured, the clean needle and thread are sewn by themselves, and the refined salt is used for disinfection in the process.
As for the problem of pain, a good hunter can tolerate it.
Li Yi sent them across the bridge, and each of the seven people drank half a bowl of hot soup, waved his hand, found three trucks that were going to Lantian County, negotiated the price, and took a ride.
It was noon when they arrived in Lantian County.
"Buy brown bread? Now many hunters come to buy it and send it to the mountains for stockpiling. ”
The idle eldest grandson Xin stood at the foot of the mountain and beckoned everyone who looked like Orion.
Hu Feng and the others had already done a good job of the hunter hut in a large area of Lantian County before.
Later, he went to the Qinling Mountains in the south and southwest to arrange, and he was not impressed by Changsun Xin.
"We brought it." Hu Feng's apprentice Guan Linfang patted the two big bags before and after.
"Black bread is sold at a loss, so I hope you can have a good harvest, and I also collect wild things here at a fair price."
Changsun Xin continued to say that simple black bread does lose money, but if you don't make black bread, you lose even more.
It is scraps, which can only be used to feed livestock, and when it is fermented, it becomes bread, which is an additional income.
He also planted greenhouses and workshops, and now he knows that the hunters are going to enter the mountains, and he tries to make it as convenient as possible.
If the hunter goes down the mountain and is willing to sell it directly, he will collect it at the right price, and then process it to earn a little processing fee.
Anyway, he didn't operate it himself, he hired people.
He hired a hundred men, and one man provided him with a hundred dollars a day.
If there are a thousand, you will get one.
What's more, what others provide for him is not a penny a day.
"So I will give you two large black loaves of bread for each of you, and you will take them, and then ...... Telescope? ”
When Changsun Xin saw the dogs and found that these dogs were good, then the other party might have more gains, and he wanted to receive some goods.
It didn't cost much for one person to give two loaves of bread, leaving a good impression on the other party, and as a result, he saw the familiar box.
When Hu Feng and the others nodded, Changsun Xin waved his hand: "Let's go." ”
He gave up, and it was impossible for the other party to sell him anything when he came back.
He knew what the telescope represented, in addition to the person who helped Li Yi catch the giant panda, the other was the Orion team that had fought side by side with Li Yi.
Only they can borrow things from the Zhuangzi who left the family before entering the mountain, and the Li family Zhuangzi also gave a large backpack.
It is said that there is a big dog in the prey team that catches the Khitans with Li Yi, which is two circles larger than a normal dog.
Obviously, this team is it, and the prey has nothing to do with it.
Hu Feng waved at him and walked up the mountain.
"Wait a minute." Changsun Xin suddenly shouted.
Everyone turned to look at him, and he ran to the side and laboriously picked up fourteen long strips of black bread, and came back.
"Take it, you won't get tired of going to the first hunter's hut." The eldest grandson Xin gave them the bread.
Hu Feng and they were stunned, how could they give it back? Knowing that the telescope will not sell its prey to others, what is the use of giving bread?
"A certain eldest Sun Xin, the patrol envoy of Lantian County, I hope that every hunter who goes up from Lantian County can come back safely."
The eldest grandson Xinliang has an identity, give, is there a few breads missing?
What if you go back and tell Li Yi that Li Yi still doesn't laugh at me?
"I've seen the eldest grandson patrol envoy." Hu Feng took the lead and bowed to the eldest grandson, the courtesy of civilians to officials.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Eldest Sun Xin waved his hand again.
Hu Feng and the others continued to be surprised, but it was still important to get down to business, wave their hands, and go up the mountain.
When it was getting dark, they arrived at the first hut, which was secluded and had a lock, but the key was also placed beside it.
Seven men went in, and thirteen dogs stood guard at the door.
Hunting dogs are not pet dogs, and they are not allowed to enter the hunter's lodge when they sleep at night unless there are special circumstances.
They huddle together to keep warm, swap places with each other, and eat ...... Dog food.
It's dog food, Li Yi gave it, and he originally wanted to put clothes on them, but Hu Feng disagreed.
So a dog had a bag tied to it, and in the bag was their own meal.
From entering the mountain to the first hunter's hut, Hu Feng and they did not hunt.
Unless you encounter a large animal, you must hunt it, otherwise going down the mountain will harm the people.
The game that goes up the hill to the range of the first hut is reserved for the common people and novice hunters.
Hu Feng and the others didn't go to rob it, and waited until they got to the second hunter's hut to decide on the situation.
"Master, someone has been here, it's Uncle Guan."
Hu Xiaofeng found traces, as well as special markers, things woven from grass or tree branches, representing identity.
"Master, there is more salt and firewood, Uncle Guan and the six of them." Another apprentice followed.
"Rest tonight, set off early tomorrow morning, put down everything that should be put down, except for Xiaofeng, each leave their own mark, Xiaofeng will keep mine."
Hu Feng instructed everyone to go separately.
They also brought firewood, but it was wet firewood, which they had cut with knives along the way.
Wet firewood is placed in the hut and slowly dries, using the previous firewood to make a fire for cooking.
