Chapter 8 Worm meat enters the belly, and the skin is sold in the bazaar
"Xiaotian, be careful, don't fall into the pit, if you fall in, you will enter the belly of a big worm" Guo Yu said to Guo Tian.
saw Guo Tian lying on the edge of the pit, pouting his little buttocks, tilting his head and looking in, as if he was in a hurry to watch the juggling, afraid that he would fall if he was not careful.
"It's okay, I can't fall down, Daddy, you and Uncle Ning beat the big worm to death, let's take it home and eat meat, I haven't eaten meat for a long time" Guo Tian thought about meat, and drooled, when was the last time he ate meat, he couldn't remember it, he just remembered that the meat was very special and delicious, how a delicious way to eat it, it had been lost in his mind, and he couldn't remember it.
"Daddy, let's kill him, Xiao Ning, you and I will beat this big worm to death and carry it home." Guo Yu responded to Guo Tianhou, turned to Guo Peining and said, I want the two of them to kill this tiger, let its soul return to heaven as soon as possible, and then follow the body home to eat.
Guo Peining wanted to kill this big insect with random arrows before, but was stopped by Guo Yu, under the random arrows, the big insect must be dead, but the tiger's skin is also spent, with this big worm, the skin and tiger bones can be taken to the town's market for money, this tiger skin must be worth a lot of money, Xiaotian's bundle is enough, maybe you can save some wife for Xiao Ning.
As soon as Guo Peining heard that the money exchanged for tiger skin could save his wife's capital, he was more cautious, thinking about shooting arrows according to the tiger's eyes, but the arrows were off several times, it is estimated that this is because the tiger does not want to die in the hands of these weak chicken-like people, especially he doesn't want his own body of fine meat to become short-legged Guo Tian's food. I couldn't move my legs and feet, I broke them, and my body got stuck in the middle of a few wooden thorns. But his head can still move around, swaying from side to side, dodging Guo Peining's random arrows.
Guo Tian saw that Guo Peining didn't shoot an arrow, he was so anxious, he couldn't imagine that this big worm's head was really flexible, it seemed that if he wanted to kill it, he had to stun it first. Thinking of this, I went to the side to find a stone, and with my little short legs, I went to move the stone.
Guo Yu saw Xiao Ning's arrows go down, the tigers dodged them one by one, Xiao Ning's archery skills are very good, there is no way, what should I do, I can't climb down the big pit to solve it with a hunting knife, in case this tiger fights to the death, it will not be good to bite. When he was in a hurry to think of a way, when he saw Guo Tian moving stones, he thought what was this kid doing, could he use stones to hit tigers?
"Xiaotian, what are you carrying that little stone for?"
This is a small stone, it's very big, I can't hold it, Guo Tian is tired of holding the stone, but Daddy said that he moved the small stone, and then replied, "I move the stone to hit the big worm, and I will definitely kill it if I throw it on my body." If you can't die, you can be stunned, so Uncle Ning is killing him."
Guo Yu thought about it, and he was right. Stones are not knives and arrows, they do not damage the tiger's fur, they only cause internal injuries to the tiger. Thinking of this, he beckoned Guo Peining and the two to move a big stone to smash the tiger.
Guo Peining's level of smashing stones is still very powerful, a stone down is just behind the tiger's head, this is also a few years of Kaifeng Mansion to defend the city, throwing stones from the city wall to smash the rebels to practice the quasi-head, defending the city to throw down one hundred and eighty big stones a day, the head is still super high.
The two of them quickly dealt with the unlucky tiger, cut down a small tree, and carried the tiger down the mountain.

"Mother, grandma, sister-in-law, come and see, look at the big worm we caught" Guo Tian's loud voice, you can only hear its voice and not see its people at home, and the surrounding neighbors were shouted by Guo Tian, and they all came out to see, and found that Guo Yu and Guo Peining were carrying a big worm and walking home.
Yishan has not seen a big insect for so many years, and when I suddenly saw it today, everyone felt novel, and there was usually no excitement, but now everyone followed to see the excitement.
"Mother, I want to eat big insect meat, you make it for me" Guo Tian hugged his mother's thigh, looked up and said.
There was a group of villagers gathered in the courtyard, everyone came to see the excitement, Guo Yu and Guo Peining thought about such a big insect, and there was a lot of meat, and then said to the big guy, "Don't leave for a while, come and taste the meat of this big insect, I don't know what it tastes like."
Saying this, several people started to help deal with the tiger, setting up a pot with firewood to boil water, sharpening knives to prepare for the tiger to peel and debon, as if killing a pig during the New Year. A big eye-catching insect was treated as a pig by a group of villagers.
After eating tiger meat, everyone thinks it is still delicious, and people who don't eat meat a few times a year are not picky about tiger jerky, with many threads and a smell. It is also the virtue of the peasant family to eat meat and not be picky, and it is good to be able to eat a full meal, not to mention tiger meat. You may not be able to eat it once in your life, how fresh it is, and you can brag about it in the future, saying that you have eaten tiger meat.
After the meal, Guo Yu put away the tiger skin, tiger whip, tiger bones, etc., and prepared to take them to the town market tomorrow to try the price. Tiger skins can be sold for a good price, made into blankets, made into pikan, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. Tiger whip and tiger bones can be used to make medicinal wine, strengthen the kidneys and waist, and strengthen the muscles and bones.
Early the next morning, Guo Yu had breakfast, sorted out yesterday's tiger skins and tiger bones and other items, and prepared to go to the market with Guo Peining to try his luck and see what price these tiger treasures could sell. Guo Tian has also been playing crazy recently, saying that he wants to go to the market to join in the fun, Guo Yu can't stand Guo Tian's grinding, and he is afraid that he will sneak out like yesterday, so he has to take him with him.
Jiabu Town is one of the largest towns around, and it is also the largest town in Yishan County, not much smaller than Yishan County, I heard that in the early years, Jiabu Town was called Jiabu County, not under the management of Yishan County, and later the Gunzhou County Shou felt that Jiabu County was not big, so he lowered the county to the town and belonged to the management of Yishan County.
Today is the ten-day market in Jiabu Town, and the villagers within a radius of more than ten miles come to catch up with the market. Guo Tian followed behind his father, looking around with his little eyes, looking left and right, and after a while, he ran in front of his father to take a look. Everything is sold in the bazaar, some sell chickens, ducks and geese, some sell porcelain, some sell charcoal, some sell rice cakes, some sell candy men, and some jugglers and storytellers.
When my father found an open space in the bazaar, he put the tiger skins and tiger bones, some pheasants and hares that he had caught a few days ago, and some wild mountain mushrooms that he had picked on the grass curtain, and prepared to sell them. Guo Tian stood aside, grinning and looking around, and saw a child eating meat buns on the side of the road, and his saliva was about to flow down, thinking that his father would not let him follow Uncle Ning around, Uncle Ning was boring to turn around by himself, and it was not good to have someone to accompany him.
After a while, a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing a green silk and blue wide robe, with his shoulders drooping, his head covered with short braids, a goatee, protruding cheekbones, and a shrewd energy in his eyes, walked to Guo Yu's stall, "Little brother, how do you sell this tiger skin?"
Guo Yu seemed to be very happy to ask about the tiger skin, but when he thought about how much the tiger skin would sell for, he frowned again. There was no way, so people had to say when they asked the price, "This big brother, I really haven't thought about how much this will sell, why don't you make a price?" ”
The middle-aged goatee knew as soon as he heard that the other party was a bookmaker who had no skills and couldn't do business. Recently, the county master was going to celebrate his mother's 70th birthday, and he didn't know what gift he was going to give. There is this tiger skin now, but it is the best gift, as a blanket for the county lord and his wife, warm in winter and cool in summer, the old lady must be happy. As long as the old lady is happy, the county lady will definitely be happy, so that the matter of being a county magistrate will be settled.
"That's it, I see that your tiger skin is not very good, there is a scar on this head, and the texture of this tiger skin is not very slippery to the touch, how about I bid five taels of silver?" Goatee felt that he had given a lot of five taels, this soil bun had never seen so much money, the tiger skin was in hand, and the position of the county was nine out of ten.
Guo Yu heard the middle-aged man opposite say that he was bidding five taels of silver, and felt that he had given a lot, five taels of silver was enough for Xiao Tian to bind him, and there was still a lot left, and he could leave most of it for Xiao Ning, and he was about to agree to be his wife, when he heard Guo Tian say.
"This big man, these five taels of silver will buy a tiger skin, it's a bit cheap, what a good tiger skin, the fur is smooth, smooth to the touch, or you are thinking about it" Guo Tian said while showing the goatee the tiger skin.
