364 Black Bear Feast
The next day, when it was dawning, Liu's exclamation came from the courtyard of the Lin family.
It turned out that it was too dark last night, and she didn't even notice the appearance of the black bear, and this morning she was so frightened that she was pointed at the huge bear's head.
This roar woke up Lin Meiyi and the others who were asleep, and everyone got up one after another and began to deal with the big guy.
Peeling Lin is a good hand, the whole bear skin is intact, peeled off meticulously, and spreads all over the floor of the hall.
This was followed by bear meat.
The bear is full of treasures, bear paws, bear liver, bear heart, bear blood, etc., etc., due to its huge size, even with the assistance of Ah Da and Xiao Hei, Lin Youcai has been doing it all morning.
The snow on the patio was covered in blood, and the women cleaned it up after an afternoon of cleaning.
The processed bear meat is placed in the open space of the kitchen, and the bottom is covered with oiled paper, which looks like a big pile.
Since the morning of the split of bear meat, the door of the Lin family was knocked on by the neighbors, with a shy smile, asking Liu if he sold bear meat and how much it cost, and the big guys wanted to buy some and go back to try it.
Liu thought that the family couldn't finish eating, and after obtaining Lin Meiyi's consent, he asked Xiangping to move a table and put it at the gate, put the dismantled bear meat on the table, and sold it on the spot.
One pound of eighty wen was even bought very well, and in less than an hour, nearly a thousand pounds of bear meat were swept away by the people in the city.
got eighty taels of silver, and Liu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Zhang shook his head, "You can buy a pound of bear meat for only eighty yuan, even if you are poor, you have to buy some to try." ”
When Liu heard her mother-in-law's words, she knew that her old man disliked her and sold it cheaply, so she immediately moved Lin Meiyi out.
"Mother, Yiyi said, meat is not worth much, anyway, we can't finish eating, it's good to sell some to supplement the family." Liu said with a smile.
When Zhang heard this, he immediately stopped talking, and nodded in agreement, "That's right, the family has no land and no land now, so relying on Dalang's little money, it's not enough for us to eat." ”
"Who's to say it isn't." Liu felt the same way, "I originally thought that he was also an official, and there would be no shortage of money in his hand, who would have thought that in this county county, there would be nothing to do!" ”
Lin Youcai disagreed, "What do you know about you girl?" The benefits are all to come, just wait. ”
"What? What do you mean by that? Liu immediately rushed forward and asked excitedly.
Lin Youcai smiled mysteriously, but he didn't say it, and when Liu was in a hurry, he said: "Da Lang told me that he still has a reward of 200 acres of fertile land, which is on the Zhuangzi outside Taiyuan Mansion, but now the snow has closed the road, and he has no time to clean it up." ”
"Really?" Liu was pleasantly surprised, but he couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen.
Lin Youcai nodded, "Of course it's true." ”
Liu frowned, "Then why didn't Da Lang tell me?" ”
Lin Youcai glanced at her, "You don't know that you have such a big mouth?" If I had told you, you wouldn't have told your mother's family? ”
"You're going to hide it from me, aren't you?" Liu was so angry that he wanted to hammer people, but when he thought of his group of snobbish mothers, he didn't have much confidence, and finally just slapped Lin Youcai on the shoulder.
Lin Youcai was afraid that she would be happy too early, so he hurriedly reminded, "That land belongs to Dalang, you don't have to think too much, I heard Lord Wang say that in the spring after the year, those flat lands near Yangyang County will be zoned as fertile land, and when the time comes, according to the number of people, our family can also be divided into twelve acres, and that is our own." ”
Liu smiled, "I don't care, anyway, now that my heart is on the ground, I thought that our eldest man would get an official position, and there was nothing." ”
"Now you don't have to worry about marrying a daughter-in-law." Liu patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Okay, it's not early, I'll go to the kitchen to get busy." ”
turned around and came to the outside of the hall, and instructed the three Lin Meiyi sisters and brothers who were roasting the fire:
"Yiyi, you go and invite your master to come, Erya, you go next door and call Mrs. Mo's mother and daughter, dog, you go and call Aunt Rong Niang, and ask her to help me help."
"Mother, there is such a big battle, you are going to show your skills!" Lin Meiyi teased.
Liu smiled, shook his head arrogantly, and left.
Lin Meiyi's sister and brother glanced at each other, smiled and dispersed to invite someone.
Xiao Niangzi naturally responded to her requests, and led Huzi to the door, and was afraid that the pots and pans in the Lin family's house would not be enough, so she asked Lin Meiyi to bring all the pots and pans at home.
Rong Niang next door, because she went to a dog, a child, and Aunt Wang couldn't say anything, so she was allowed.
Erya invited Mrs. Mo and Qingyun over, and the Liu family didn't expect this noble lady to help much, so they only let her sit and be her consultant.
After all, these rules or something, she is a countryman, and she really doesn't know as much as Mrs. Mo.
When the two women were ploughing the snowy mountains, they secretly made a revolutionary friendship, although Mrs. Mo was arrogant, but once she accepted someone, she was treated wholeheartedly.
Seeing that the Liu family didn't understand anything, it was all messy, and he couldn't sit still, so he simply got up, called the maid and mother-in-law at home, and personally presided over the overall situation.
Without the suppression of her mother-in-law, Rong Niang is actually a very generous person, seeing that the Liu family took the initiative to show goodwill, she didn't think about the contradiction between the two families before, and soon got into a mess with Xiao Niangzi and others.
In short, now there is a harmonious atmosphere in the courtyard of the Lin family, the concept of class has been diluted here, and everyone has returned to their true nature and got along very happily.
Lin Meiyi is the eldest sister, leading her younger brothers and sisters to play in the yard, and she does not waste this ready-made human resource resources, teaching them to make briquettes, and they have a lot of fun one or two.
Qingyun couldn't let go of it, but later saw that her mother was so busy that she didn't have time to pay attention to herself, so her courage was brought up by Erya, she rolled up her sleeves and made her hands black, which looked no different from a country girl.
Playing around, the guests appeared, the female dependents avoided, men and women sat separately, eating the rare black bear feast, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After the banquet, Rong Niang came to the Lin family very often.
Mrs. Mo would also come to the door from time to time to chat with Zhang's philosophy of life, and the big guy gradually adapted to the new place of Yangyang County, and was slowly integrating.
As we enter December, the snow is getting heavier and heavier.
Winter in the Northland is nothing short of torture.
Fortunately, before the heavy snowstorm, honeycomb coal was popularized in the county county, and every household was installed with a wind pipe, and there was no more gas poisoning in the city.
All the kang in the Lin family's house was burned, and there was an additional coal stove, which made me feel warm.
The general returned to the camp five miles away and granted Lin Dalang permission to stay for another month, so that he could have a good year with his family.
In this way, the Lin family returned to normal, the family gathered in front of the coal stove in the hall, the elders made plans for next year's spring planting, and the juniors nested on the kang, embroidered flowers, and read books.
Bright light came in through the window, and everyone who was enjoying the lazy winter day did not know that outside the county county, there was a person who was braving the wind and snow.
