Zeng Yu chuckled twice and said, "Don't worry, we just have the right time, and we don't have the intention of snatching your prey." We have been fighting prey for half a day today, but we have not encountered a large beast, and we are happy to hunt so we took down the big insects. ”

Although the tiger was killed by his own people, Zeng Yu knew that the people's life was not easy, and he naturally understood the value of this tiger, maybe the money and food exchanged for this tiger was enough for a village of people to eat for a month or even longer. He is not the kind of person who oppresses the people, so naturally he will not do anything to snatch the corpse of a tiger.

The leading hunter didn't think that this magnificent son in front of him would be so easy to talk to, but he was a little overwhelmed.

Zeng Yu saw that Orion's lips trembled and he didn't know what to say, so he spoke again: "If you want to get back the corpse of the big worm, it must be for the reward you get from hunting the tiger." ”

The leading hunter was thinking about what to say to express his gratitude, and suddenly heard Zeng Yu ask, and reflexively replied, "Of course, the reward given by the government for a big insect is two gold, if the fur is intact." We sold it to large families, and we could even sell it for three gold. ”

Zeng Yu calculated that one gold can be exchanged for more than 15,000 yuan, and according to the grain price of 30 yuan a catty in Anping County, the corpse of a tiger can be exchanged for a month's rations for a village of about 200 people. It's no wonder that these hunters are willing to take the risk of hunting tigers in the mountains, and although the risks are extremely high, the rewards are also high.

Nodding, Zeng Yu thought for a while, and then said to the leading hunter, "I have a proposal, I will pay three gold to buy the corpse of your big worm." We went out hunting, and we couldn't bear to miss it when we saw such a big worm, and we can give you the tiger skin, and you can sell it for money. ”

Orion raised his head suddenly, stared at Zeng Yu with his eyes wide open, and asked in disbelief, "What Childe said is true?" ”

Zeng Yu didn't speak, but took out three gold ingots from his arms and handed them out.

took the gold ingot with both hands, and Orion did not dislike it, and used the most traditional and convenient method to test it with his mouth, and then said to Zeng Yu, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”

Others also saw from Orion's behavior that Zeng Yu did not lie to them, and they all echoed and expressed their gratitude. They are accustomed to living at the bottom, and when they see noble sons on weekdays, they are more bullying, even those families who are said to have a good name, and the most they can do is reduce their rent in disaster years for their servants and tenants. A son that he and others met by accident was so easy to talk to, and they couldn't find any other words to express their excitement except to say thank you.

"You help carry the big worm outside, and by the way, remove the tiger skin and take it away, our camp is outside, you can wait with us." Zeng Yu didn't stop it, and after they calmed down, he instructed Orion, and naturally there was a high-ranking temperament flowing out of his body.

Orion didn't think much about it, they came to hunt tigers this time, naturally brought ropes, called a few strong hunters after tying them, and then carried the tigers out of the mountains and forests with Zeng Yu and their footsteps.

Zeng Yu and the others spent half a day entering the mountain this time, Guo Jia and others who were waiting in the camp had already prepared the camp, and a lot of firewood and firewood were also picked up by several personal soldiers, and they were waiting for Zeng Yu and their return at this time.

The woods scurried, and Zeng Yu and the others rushed out, but when they saw the bunch of birds and hares in the hands of Zeng Yu and others, Guo Jia was a little disappointed. However, when the hunter came out with the tiger, Guo Jia and Tian Feng's eyes widened, both surprised by the tiger and curious about the extra hunters.

After some explanations by Zeng Yu and others, they understood what happened, Tian Feng stood up and saluted Zeng Yu solemnly, and said, "The lord is benevolent, and it is really a blessing for the people!" ”

Zeng Yu replied with a smile: "Xunzi has a cloud, 'the people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat'. ”

Xunzi is a famous Confucian sage, but his disciples are Han Fei and Li Si are the most famous, of course, there are also Han Beiping Hou Zhang Cang, who experienced the Qin and Han dynasties, these three are not Confucian disciples, but more like Legalists and Huang Lao's faction. Zeng Yu quoted Xunzi's words, and also used this to tell Tian Feng that although there are fights among the hundred schools, there are also mutual complementarities.

Everyone is a smart person, Tian Feng and Guo Jia naturally understood what Zeng Yu meant, but at this time, what made them care more about the handling of those prey.

In order to express their gratitude to Zeng Yu and others, those hunters took over all the prey cleaning work, of course, peeling the skin and cleaning the internal organs of the prey is just a piece of cake for the hunters.

A big tiger, several hunters helped each other and quickly cleaned up the big worm. Then, those small prey such as birds and hares were even less worth mentioning in his hands. It didn't take long for all the prey to be handled cleanly.

At this time, Zhao Yi and the others had already set up the stove and the fire was burning.

"Childe, the tiger is too big, and the whole one is not easy to cook. It's best to chop it into small pieces before grilling it. ”

Regarding the suggestion of the leader of Orion, Zeng Yu is naturally as good as a stream. He stood up and said to the crowd, "Where do you want to eat the big worm, go up and cut the meat yourself." ”

At the same time, he said to the hunters, "The tiger is so big, we can't eat it all, you might as well eat it together and then leave." ”

In fact, these hunters were also hungry at this time, but since the tiger had been bought by Zeng Yu, they had no right to do it. Hearing Zeng Yu's invitation, the hunters were very willing, but at the same time, they felt that they couldn't go, so they looked at the leader and gave him the choice.

"How does this make ...", Orion led and rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, but did not refuse.

"It's okay, we can't finish it anyway, and the rest is a waste, but you have to prepare the firewood and stove yourself." Zeng Yu waved his hand, knowing the psychology of Orion, so he helped him make a decision.

Seeing this, the leading hunter also took the opportunity to come down and let everyone go and collect firewood. By the time they were ready, Zeng Yu and the others had already gotten their hands on it, and the front and rear legs of the big insect had been roasted on the stove by Zeng Yu and them.

"You take it yourself, this big worm has at least three hundred catties, enough for all of us to eat." Zeng Yu said to Orion.

The hunters thanked each other and stepped forward one after another, cutting off the parts they wanted to eat. A unique barbecue picnic began.

For many people, whether it is a pro-soldier or a hunter, the prey they usually catch is exchanged for money and food, but there are not many barbecues by themselves, and they are not so particular, and their barbecue skills are naturally not very good.

Some people either scorch the prey in their hands or the inside is not cooked, and there are simply not many that really roast the prey to a golden brown and tempting color. But the hunters still eat very happily, they usually rarely eat meat, this is a rare opportunity, naturally to have a large piece of fruit, taste is secondary, full is the truth.

But Guo Jia is different, he knows his craft, so he didn't do it, just waiting for the tiger leg that Zeng Yu roasted. Tian Feng originally planned to do it, but was dissuaded by Guo Jia, he saw Tian Feng's actions and knew that he was also a novice, so he just said that he could wait for Zeng Yu to roast it.

Smelling the fragrance of the tiger leg in Zeng Yu's hand, Guo Jia moved to him again, approached and said, "Lord, I see that this tiger leg has been roasted for so long, it should be about the same." ”

Zeng Yu glanced at Guo Jia, looked at him with a greedy look, and immediately said jokingly, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”

Guo Jia laughed twice, and said cheekily, "This is not the hard work of watching the lord roast, I hope it will ripen soon." ”

Looking at Guo Jia's greedy face, Zeng Yu took a look at the tiger leg in his hand, and felt that it was almost the same, pulled out his saber and cut off a large piece, handed the meat to Guo Jia, and at the same time cut off a piece from the other side and handed it to Tian Feng next to him.

Tian Feng took the tiger meat and thanked Zeng Yu, "Thank you, lord!" ”

happily took the burnt tiger meat, Guo Jia couldn't help but praise while eating, "The master's cooking skills are still so good." ”

Zeng Yu himself was not idle, put the tiger leg on the stove shelf, cut off a piece of tiger meat with his hands, and began to eat.

After a picnic, everyone felt very satisfied. Especially Guo Jia, this was his proposal, and he licked his face and asked his father-in-law to help him barbecue, so he naturally ate very happily and ate the most.

After the meal, Zeng Yu came to the side of the leader Orion, sat on the ground, and said, "The strong man dares to lead the people into the mountains to hunt tigers and eliminate harm for the people, which is a great righteous act." ”

The other party hurriedly said in fear, "I'm waiting to go into the mountains to hunt tigers, just to reward money, how dare I say it's a big righteous act?" ”

Zeng Yu asked again, "The big insect is fierce, and it is somewhat dangerous to go into the mountains to hunt tigers, are you making this decision because life at home is difficult and food is unsustainable?" ”

After all, tiger hunting is not a trivial matter, and even if they gather hundreds of hunters, there is still a great danger in them. Generally speaking, the hunters do not want to provoke the tigers unless they can't get by.

"I was barely able to get by before I lived, but the young people in the village are now growing up, and they consume a lot of food. In addition, the harvest in the past two years is average, in order to feed the boys, we went to the mountains to hunt tigers to earn some reward money, so that the family life can continue. ”

After listening to the words of the leader Orion, Zeng Yu understood what they were thinking, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and only for the sake of their children, these people would take risks to go up the mountain to hunt tigers.

Zeng Yu pondered for a while, and said to the leading hunter, "I want to ask the strong man about a person, his name is Zhao Yun, he is a young man, I don't know if the strong man has ever heard of this person." ”

"Dare to ask Childe what is the matter with him?" Orion didn't answer, but asked Zeng Yu.

Zeng Yu saw the other party's appearance, his heart was happy, could it be that the other party really knew Zhao Yun, but he couldn't say why he was looking for Zhao Yun, after thinking for a while, he replied, "I learned from a Xiangshi, he said that Changshan really has a great talent named Zhao Yun, is a rare general, such as today, bandits are everywhere, I, as a local governor, want to recruit Zhao Yun to serve under my account to ensure the safety of one party." ”
