Chapter 166: Liang Mancang's decision
When the Zhu family, who was standing behind him, heard this, he hurriedly pulled the corners of Gu Shigui's clothes, lest he exchange the ready-made meat for the pile of unchewed skeletons.
"I'm not stupid, why do I have to exchange meat for meat!" Gu Shigui said with a stiff neck.
Gu Shigen narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Then what stupid things are you talking about!" ”
Invisibly, Gu Shigui was pitted by Gu Shifu and Gu Shigen together, he was wrapped around in a daze, choked so much that he couldn't say a word for a while, and he was so angry that he stared at his eyes that were swollen all year round and his eyes were scattered.
The people around couldn't help laughing, first it was low, quiet, and later, I don't know who held back the laughter, poof, let out a loud fart, everyone finally laughed unbridledly, I don't know whether to laugh at Gu Shigui or laugh at the fart person, this laughter melted with the joy of dividing the meat and the satisfaction of the full meal, floating around with the wind.
Gu Shifu, who didn't feel funny at all, raised his hand to suppress the voice of the villagers, and said with a solemn face: "Okay, everyone has worked hard today, but there is finally some reward, now the meat eater family has a share, and every eldest child can also have a pair of winter cotton boots, which has to be put on hold, but it is a great blessing, but I know that everyone is still looking at the big black bear, but this is a full warehouse risk to shoot it single-handedly, and tomorrow it will be sold to the county seat for money, since he is at his disposal, I will not interfere." ”
"How's that going to work? This bear was also attracted by me, how can it not be my share! Gu Shigui, who was ridiculed, couldn't help but jump out again, put his hands on his hips, and said angrily.
"If someone else says something, I still have an ear to listen to the reason, and if you say something, how can people want to beat people up so much." Gu Shigen rolled up his sleeves and snorted coldly, "You wanted to forcibly occupy his old house to raise chickens, but now he saved your life, and there are other messy bunch of things, what kind of face do you have now to dare to ask for benefits!" ”
was ruthlessly robbed by Gu Shigen, Gu Shigui lowered his face, and said hatefully: "If it weren't for me today, there would always be someone else, wouldn't he save it?" I tell you, you can't swallow my credit just because you have prejudices about me! ”
"If you talk about merit, the most meritorious one in our Gu Jiaao should be Uncle Fu, I think that back then, Liangjiaba suffered a disaster, it was Uncle Fu who kindly took us in, so that orphans and widows had a place to live, and Uncle Fang and Uncle Zheng and other uncles moved here earlier for one reason or another, and I didn't see him dislike snubbing people with foreign surnames.
Gujiaao produces tea, and every year in the tea market, the families who lack labor are taken care of by the village chief, helping to pick and sell tea, and running around outside in their spare time, even if they are begging for help, just to take the big guys out of the mountains to work part-time and earn some money to supplement the family.
Also, as long as it is in the village, no matter who is sick and runs out of food, the village chief reaches out to help, pays money and gives food, never ambiguous, sometimes the days are difficult, he has to tighten his belt, but he has never come to the door to urge.
In the past two years, the times have been bad, and his family has encountered difficult hurdles, but speaking of which, the hardships that their father and son have endured are still for the sake of the village. Qingshan organized a wolf fight for the whole village last year to protect the whole village from wolves, but unfortunately he was bitten, and this year Uncle Fu refused to lose the face and backbone of the Gu family and injured his legs.
I think that at the beginning, Uncle Fu took everyone to earn money, and he didn't take an extra penny, and now the debts they have fallen can't just be their family's business, I will say a word in front of the whole village today, hunting this big black bear is purely an accident, no matter how much money Ming'er sells, it will be used to pay off Uncle Fu's debts first! ”
Everyone listened to his impassioned words, and there was a gasp, and some people couldn't help but bow their heads in shame.
Gu Shifu waved his hand again and again, and said disapprovingly: "Mancang, you just built a new house, spent all your savings, sold the black bear this time, leave some money for yourself, and be more active in the future, how can you fill my hole according to what you said!" ”
Liang Mancang looked at him deeply and said: "Uncle Fu, my father went early, my brother and I have been gone for five years, my mother's body is getting worse day by day, I don't know how much you have taken care of you in those years, what is this money, how can it be worth the porridge and rice every day." ”
"Hey, we live in a village, and we have old relatives, taking care of your mother, it's just a convenient thing, but I can't afford to be such a heavy thank you gift today." Gu Shifu insisted on not accepting it.
He was originally thinking about Liang Mancang, if he had the opportunity to investigate Liang Mandou's unjust case in the future, he would have to spend some money, it was not a small amount, he was a cripple now, and he couldn't help much, did he have to drag him back and spend his money!
"It's scattered, it's scattered, everyone carry the meat back, pickle what should be pickled, eat what should be eaten, don't spoil it!" Gu Shigen stood up and waved to everyone, then he turned around and said softly to the two: "Don't fight, you two don't fight, let's talk about it when Ming'er sells it, maybe how much it will sell." ”
Gu Shifu was so stubborn that he pursed his lips and didn't speak, and Liang Mancang was even more difficult to say, if he couldn't sell it for money, he seemed to be a person who talked big and was in the limelight.
Seeing this, the villagers obviously did not expect to share the money, so they took the meat home one after another, and today, they were not hungry in their stomachs, and they had meat on their shoulders, and the simple mountain people were easily satisfied, and their faces soon overflowed with smiles.
Without any additional benefits, Gu Shigui walked home empty-handed, dejected, those meats were naturally held by the strong Zhu family, Gu Dabao picked up a colorful pheasant feather, stuck it on his head, and smiled stupidly.
The son almost lost his life today, Gu Shigen and he are brothers, but when they share the meat, they don't even give more partners, let alone share the money of the black bear, at this time, even if the Wu family can't see Gu Shigui's face, they know that his face is as black as the bottom of a pot. 360 Literature Network
The ten taels of silver that sold his granddaughter last time were robbed of half by the scoundrel Yang Dafa, and as a result, the granddaughter-in-law who died before the night made their family laugh crazy by the villagers, and Dabao inexplicably became a widower, and it became more and more difficult to marry.
As for the remaining five taels of silver, Gu Shigui didn't wait for the heat, so he secretly ran away to gamble, and lost all his money in just one night.
Wu didn't dare to make a sound, she only followed silently, she silently thought in her heart, Gu Jiaao beat the matter of dividing the meat, but don't spread it to Yang Dafa's ears, this annoying guy is proud of marrying a dead ghost to Dabao, climbing relatives all day long, and from time to time she comes to the door to fight the autumn wind, she is afraid of him.
Gu Qingzhu divided a muntjac leg and a pheasant, and went into the water, she picked two pieces of badger oil, which is not for eating, boiled badger oil has a miraculous effect on burns and scalds, and the big girl is working in a noodle restaurant, and they will inevitably be burned by the fire and the soup noodles, with this, there is no need to worry.
The fat was boiled slowly in the outer pot, and Gu Qingzhu boiled water in another pot, ready to scald the chicken feathers.
"Green Bamboo!" Liang Mancang shouted outside the courtyard.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingzhu patted the grass clippings on his body, walked out and asked.
Liang Mancang pointed to the game in his hand: "These are all for you, you know, I won't get them, and I don't have time to burn them." ”
"I'll help you pickle it, you always have to come back for the New Year, how can you miss the salted meat to entertain guests." Gu Qingzhu shook his head with a smile.
"I'm in a hurry to send Brother Xiao away, it's all up to you!" Liang Mancang handed half a wild boar rib, a pheasant, and a pig's intestines to Gu Qingzhu's hand, turned around and hurried away.
Gu Qingzhu plucked and cleaned the two chickens together, fried the marinade, marinated all the game in a large vat, sprinkled an extra handful of salt, and put it in a ventilated place.
It took some effort to clean the remaining large intestine, and the salted water, because there is no oil, it is easy to dry and bitter, and it is not as good as the fresh stewed taste, since Liang Mancang is at her disposal, she is not welcome, picked some condiments and spices, made into a material bag, added soybean sauce ginger and green onions, boiled over high heat, and simmered slowly over low heat.
The smell of meat mixed with spices, the rich aroma of blending wafted over Gujiaao in the twilight, and everyone who smelled the smell knew that Gu Qingzhu was making braised vegetables, and couldn't help but swallow saliva.
Liang Mancang came back from Laojun Mountain, couldn't help but be attracted by the fragrance, this smell, he hadn't smelled it for five years, back then, the whole village counted the best dishes made by Gu Qingzhu's mother, and now he went to Nancang County, and accompanied the county lord to Ningjiang City and Yan'an City, large and small, he also ate some good noodles, but there is no such taste as today.
After Gu Qingzhu saw Liang Mancang go and returned, he went straight to the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to rest at home for five days, I'll help you marinate pig intestines, enough to eat for a few days." ”
"I haven't eaten this bite in years." Liang Mancang took a deep breath and smiled.
Gu Qingzhu sat on the small pestle to choose vegetables, raised his eyebrows and said playfully: "I just happened to pull out garlic, and I will fry a plate at night to satisfy your cravings?" ”
"Ming'er, I and Qingshan Fangkui went to sell black bears, you go with us, before, I heard my mother say that my father hunted a small one when he was young and sold it for twenty taels of silver, but this matter has been many years, it has long been an old yellow calendar, and I can't count it, besides, a few of us men, one doesn't understand the market, and the other is not meticulous enough, don't be cheated by someone then, I don't know it." Liang Mancang bent down and picked a carrot in the vegetable basket, washed it, and sat opposite Gu Qingzhu to nibble.
Gu Qingzhu thought for a while and said: "Nancang County has a lot of three lives, and the scale is accurate, and now we have been collecting Gujiaao's mountain goods, we might as well sell the black bear directly to the restaurant, Luo Shopkeeper and the leather goods store and the medicinal materials store are familiar, but we have to run a few tosses, and be bargained by different merchants in turn." ”
"It's a good idea, but I don't know how much it can be sold." Liang Mancang finished nibbling on the radish in two bites and said worriedly.
"Whether bear meat is delicious or not, I don't know, but I heard my father say that bear bile is a very valuable medicinal material, and it has a miraculous effect on some diseases in children, besides, bear bile is not something you want to have, this is a rare thing, the price will definitely not be low, as for the bear paw, it is also a truth, it is a delicacy in the big restaurant, and bear skin can not be found, not to mention." Gu Qingzhuchun went to various restaurants and restaurants to sell bamboo shoots, and he saw the vegetable stickers hanging high in the big restaurants, and the first one said stewed bear's paws, which he had never seen in ordinary taverns.
Liang Mancang listened to her words, and suddenly became happy, and said with great interest: "According to what you say, isn't it going to be sold for a good price?" I'll have to talk to Aoyama Fangkui. ”
With that, the burly man bent over the door and hurried away.
