Chapter 149: How frugal

Of course, these beasts are not very common in ordinary times, and they are not encountered every day.

But today, although the hunting process can only be encountered occasionally, they also hunted four for them throughout the day, namely a leopard, a tiger, and two deer.

The hunt is over, and the hunting party returns with a full load.

Xue Langjing roughly calculated, today's income is at least double compared to usual, the same as they guessed before.

The value of these four beasts alone is greater than that of all the other prey combined.

Although it is only a low-level beast, in the eyes of ordinary hunters, it is already the highest prey.

If it was usual, they naturally didn't dare to go so deep, and it was impossible for them to hunt four beasts at once, and it was really different from the past.

Today's harvest is so rich, every team member is happy in their hearts, which also means that their strength has increased greatly, and even the pace of going down the mountain is much brisker.

However, with so many prey, it is difficult to send them all to the town by car.

They hadn't greeted Gu Rongxuan in advance, and he would inevitably only drive one car over as usual.

Although Xue Langjing had already talked to the family, asked them to drive their ox cart over in the afternoon.

But two cars were obviously not enough, and they had to carry only half of their prey in the end, and the rest of them had to take a shortcut to the town themselves.

If you can sell it at a high price, of course you won't sell it to the middleman on the other side of the road, and you have to ask Gu Rongxuan to send a few cars over there to pick up him and the others.

For this reason, on the way down the mountain, Xue Langjing also thought about how to arrange it later.

When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I found that there were six ox carts waiting below.

Gu Rongxuan brought five cars, as well as one of his own.

No, it must have been Zheng Linchu who had reminded them, and she should have guessed that the members of her hunting team had basically succeeded in enlightening their spirits, and they would definitely try their skills today, instead of continuing to look for fruit seeds.

People have arranged everything properly, and they are worrying about it again.

So when dealing with smart people, people can see you clearly, and what you think in your heart, others can know better than you.

Alas, I don't know if it's good or bad to get along with such people.

Xue Langjing couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Then, everyone weighed all of today's harvest and loaded it onto the ox cart brought by Gu Rongxuan.

In addition to leaving the vegetables and meat to be used at home, Xue Langjing also left the leopard.

Of all the beasts, leopard meat was the most valuable, and she took it for granted that leopard meat was more effective for the Enlightener.

Another reason is that although tiger meat doesn't seem to be much cheaper, the tiger is too big, and if you stay at home, you don't know how much you can eat it, and you can't eat it anymore.

After Gu Rongxuan and the others left, they put the vegetables and meat left for their own food on the ox cart and asked their eldest brother-in-law Zhang Xingyuan to rush back.

And he and his teammates took their respective guys and returned lightly.

There are not many fruit seedlings to find today, and they don't need to go to the mountains on purpose, so it's good to let the car carry such a thing when the time comes.

Now the ox cart at home is basically managed by Zhang Xingyuan, and even the cattle are fed by himself, without the hands of others, and he naturally comes to things like driving cars.

Who made him the most powerful of the men in the family?

And he is also willing to work and endure hardships, which makes Xue Langjing have a good impression of him, and he is often given tasks.

has made a lot of contributions to the family, so that his monthly routine is also a lot among the Xue family's vacancies.

This is naturally the family's affirmation of him, and he is more willing to work.

When they get home, they slaughter the leopard.

They hadn't slaughtered wild beasts before, and now they were at it.

Before, because only Xue Langjing was the one in the family who was the Enlightener, it didn't have any effect for others to eat animal meat, and there wasn't too much beast meat burned at each meal.

Except for her who eats more, everyone else basically just tastes it, and eats it as a tonic, of course, she won't eat too much of this big tonic, and her daily consumption is not large.

But now, these twenty or so people are all enlighteners, and the animal meat to be burned at every meal is much more extravagant.

Distressed is distressed, and now she also knows the severity, but she was used to being thrifty when she was 'in charge' in the past, and she was subconsciously distressed when she saw that she ate so much silver at every meal, and it wouldn't be really good, and everyone was already accustomed to her temperament.

In other words, the members of this hunting team are all capable people, one person can be worth several amounts of food, nineteen capable people, and the Xue family itself also has nearly twenty people, as well as the cooks.

Combined, there is simply not enough food to eat without burning more than a hundred servings.

The ingredients are there, the cooks are there, and the cooking tools must be sufficient.

And the Xue family's own family only has a few pots in total, which is obviously not enough.

So they borrowed the stoves from a few neighbors.

Of course, except for Old Man Xue's family, the Tang family is not willing to earn it for him.

Breakfast is okay, because the food is relatively light, mainly steamed bread and porridge, there are not many dishes to burn, just borrow the closest to the Xue family Zhao Liuxing's house and Zhang Erniu's house to go to school

For dinner, because the types of vegetables and meat to be cooked are relatively rich, and the team members have to boil herbs and hot water, so they have to borrow all the pots and stoves from the other three families.

As for the neighbors who were borrowed from the stove, of course, they all wished they would borrow it suddenly.

This stove was borrowed for silver, although it can't be too much, but who would want the daily income for nothing.

Anyway, they eat the same morning and dinner by themselves, so they don't have to worry too much about whether it's a meal or not.

Again, the firewood for cooking is all prepared by the Xue family.

Now their Xue family's firewood is simply not too much, of course they won't be angry, the firewood given is sufficient, so after the meal, won't the remaining firewood belong to their own family?

Also, if you cook so many dishes, some of the soup and meat foam can leak out, isn't this cheaper for them again?

For example, when the cooks finish cooking the last dish and burn the next dish, they can't wash the pot?

The Xue family doesn't want this pot of water.

But this 'brushing pot water' is a good thing for them.

The Xue family is now a big family, and they will definitely not be angry when they cook a dish, and they are reluctant to put a little oily food, and they must be willing to put this oil, otherwise the cooked dish will not be delicious.

However, oil is so expensive, where can ordinary people afford to eat so much, it would be good to put a little oil in the dish.

And the dishes cooked by the Xue family, after they were served, the oil left in the pot was more than the oil they had to put in a dish to cook a dish at home.

The water was oily, and of course they had to stay, and they were reluctant to pour the second water.

Especially when you grill meat, the oiliness in it is even more abundant.

And the ingredients of this dish are sufficient, and the craftsmanship of the cooks is also excellent, and the rest of the soup tastes good.

These soups and soups are good things for them.

With these soups, you don't need extra oil to cook your own dishes, and you can also make them more oily.

Even more frugal, they are reluctant to use up the water for brushing the pot every day, and save it, and even use these oily soup to exchange benefits with others, or simply give it to other villagers as a 'gift' to sell it to others.
