"With the mountain goods of Chongzigou, our family's future business will not be worried. This year is the first time we do business, a lot of I don't understand, and when we come next year, everyone has experience, I will find an individual livelihood, and accompany my mother at home, okay? ”

Although Mrs. Li was still not very satisfied, she also knew that her daughter's idea was right, so she had to nod.

The two mothers and daughters fell asleep.

In the upper room of the Liu family, Liu's father and Liu's mother have not slept yet.

Liu's father took a puff of cigarette and asked Liu's mother, "Today, we owe the Mei family a big favor, and I don't know how to repay this favor......

Liu Mu unfolded the quilt and said casually, "What's so difficult about this?" Didn't you hear that the Mei family was engaged in the trading of mountain goods? At the beginning, the fourth child of the Mei family was saved by our children, wasn't it because he was buried by a landslide because of the mountain goods? We don't have anything else in Chongzigou, but there are many mountain goods. I think the Mei family is good, in the future, we will sell the prey mountain goods of Chongzigou to the Mei family, and the price will be cheaper, isn't it? Anyway, who is it sold to is not sold? Sold to outsiders was depressed, it is better to sell to the Mei family, and still be able to repay the favor. ”

Father Liu was stunned for a moment, and took a sip of cigarette pouches, "Baby, you have a good idea, I will discuss it with the Huzi brothers tomorrow and discuss it......"

"Okay, it's all heaven and earth, why don't you go to sleep soon? Ming'er see that you have spirit? Liu Mu said angrily.

Father Liu didn't speak, extinguished the cigarette pouch, and went to the kang.

Early the next morning.

The hunters gathered in the courtyard of the Liu family, and the women and children of the family also came, crowding the courtyard inside and outside.

Uncle Hu Zi still didn't look good, ordered a few prestige ones, and asked the rest of the people to wait outside the courtyard.

When I arrived at the upper room of Liu's house, I discussed with Liu's father for a long time, and only when I came out did I announce that all the wolf corpses that I dragged back yesterday belonged to An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong.

Originally, most of them were killed, and the remaining ones, the hunters in Chongzigou were embarrassed to ask for them, so they simply gave them away.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was so happy to see the wolf corpses in the yard, all of which were white and silver.

At the moment, he was not polite, so he beckoned An Huahao to quickly skin the wolf, so that the meat could be removed first and made into jerky and meat sauce.

Where is the need for An Huahao in this matter?

A group of hunters are worried that they have no chance to repay An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong for saving their lives.

They are good at skinning wolves, and they will pour into one with all hands and feet

A group of people, each performing his own duties.

There are those who peel the skin, and there are those who cut the meat.

The women also rushed in to help, the Liu family's stove house was not enough, the yard directly set up an earthen stove, someone brought a large pot from the house, washed it, poured water, lit the fire, and began to cook meat.

At this time, Mei Xiaotong naturally would not be stingy, told Mrs. Li a few words, and thanked the helper.

Give Anhua Hao a look, Anhua Hao understands

, so I invited all the people in the village to eat a wolf meat feast at noon.

Seeing An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong so generous, the Orions are also cheerful people, and they feel that the two are worth befriending.

Turning his head, he told his mother-in-law to go back and bring his best game, and he wanted to eat it happily today.

The whole village of Chongzigou suddenly boiled.

Not only the hunters were happy, but also the women and children.

One by one, they ran home, took out their best things, and piled them up in the yard of the Liu family.

Father Liu and Uncle Huzi, who went to the room, looked at the scene in front of them, and nodded happily, what happened yesterday, to be honest, everyone escaped death, and it was a blow to the hunters.

Today, there is such a wolf meat feast, and everyone's morale is up again.

Not only does people have a better impression of An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong, Father Liu thought so, and discussed with Uncle Huzi in a low voice.

Uncle Huzi nodded his head while listening.

In the courtyard, the mothers-in-law of each family came to help, and there were many people who were easy to do, and at noon, seven or eight tables of food were prepared.

It couldn't fit in the courtyard, so it was simply placed in the middle of the village.

Each family brought tables and benches and set up dishes and chopsticks.

On each table, in the middle, is a large pot of wolf meat, stewed to rotten, with all kinds of mountain mushrooms, fragrant.

And what venison, roe deer meat, grouse, snow rabbit meat, wild lamb leg...... And so on, more abundant than the New Year.

Father Liu, Uncle Huzi, Mei Zhongzhong, and a few old adult hunters sat at the same table with An Huahao and Mei Changgui.

Mother Liu, Mrs. Li, Mei Xiaotong, Liu Xiaoqiao, and a few Orion mothers-in-law sat at another table with them.

The rest of the hunters and family members were all scattered, and the seven or eight tables were full.

Before the banquet, Uncle Hu Zi first took the wine and thanked An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong for saving their lives, and all the people in Chongzigou, regardless of men, women and children, stood up and raised their glasses to the two.

The children were too young to drink, and they all held the soup bowl and made a toast.

An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong hurriedly stood up and picked up the wine glasses in front of them.

Mei Xiaotong hesitated slightly, and saw that An Huahao drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and without saying much, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

A stream of spicy rush into the throat, and then, there is no more.

Mei Xiaotong thought that this wine would have a lot of stamina, but this wine was a little spicy in the mouth, the taste was not very good, and the color was not clear.

Relax slightly.

Seeing that An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong were happy, the hunters also dried the wine in the bowl one after another.

The atmosphere was lively.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Uncle Huzi took advantage of the situation to announce that in the future, the mountain goods and prey in Chongzigou would be sold to the Mei family, and the price was easy to say.

Mei Xiaotong knew that this was a punch

The reward of the hunters of the ditch.

didn't shirk, only smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Huzi and everyone for your trust, please rest assured, our Mei family has always done business fairly, and the purchase price will only be higher than others, not low, and will not let everyone suffer!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Orions didn't have anything, the Orion mothers-in-law couldn't sit still first, if they really told Mei Xiaotong, the price was only high, not low, it would be great.

For a while, the women didn't have the heart to eat.

The men were in high spirits at the moment, and lined up one by one to toast An Huahao.

The women also surrounded Mei Xiaotong to inquire about the market of mountain goods, and Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li didn't care about eating, and carefully answered the women's questions.

Liu Mu and Liu Xiaoqiao couldn't stand it anymore, so they stopped, "Okay, okay, the Mei family's daughter can't run away, so let the family eat a hot meal, right?" After eating, how many things can't be asked? ”

The Orion ladies and daughters went back to their tables to eat, and the children had already eaten with oil on their mouths and hands, and went to play with their round bellies one by one.

Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li didn't drink, and they soon finished eating.

The men were still drinking and talking.

Liu Mu and Liu Xiaoqiao simply moved the bench and pulled Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li to the side.

The Orion ladies came over one after another, and when Mei Xiaotong was eating in her heart, she had some ideas, and at this moment, in the face of the Orion ladies and daughters-in-law, she was even more energetic, these are all customers.

The price of mountain goods is there, Mei Xiaotong roughly reported the price, and the mothers-in-law knew it in their hearts, this price is really kind compared to those outsiders.

I was immediately relieved.

There is that bold, looking at the fabric Mei Xiaotong is wearing, he can't help but ask, "Your clothes are so good-looking, very expensive, right?" ”

Mei Xiaotong's heart moved, and she had an idea: "Do you like this fabric?" ”

"Of course I like it, but it's a pity, let's go down the mountain less, go to the town to buy, I'm always deceived, sell others for ten yuan, sell to us at least fifteen yuan, it's too pitiful!"

"But no, just bully us mountain people."

……

The Orion wives complained.

Mei Xiaotong smiled, "This is simple, if you like it, the next time we come to collect the mountain goods, we will bring a few horses up, what price outside, I will sell it to you at the original price, how about it?" ”

"Really?" The mothers-in-law all exclaimed.

"Of course it is! This cloth was dyed by me, and I sold the dyeing workshop to the auspicious dyeing workshop, and I dare not say anything else, it is no problem to buy cloth. Mei Xiaotong smiled.

"Girl, you really have the ability!" A Orion woman stretched out her thumb at Mei Xiaotong.

"Girl, I want, I want! If you want a cloth of this color, we all have to make a set as a family. ”

"Girl, is there any other color? I'll make a set for my man! ”

……

Even

Liu Mu and Liu Xiaoqiao were both moved when they heard it.

Mother Liu quietly asked Mrs. Li, "Sister Zhang, your daughter is really this, she can hunt and dye cloth!" ”

Mrs. Li smiled and smiled, "No, my daughter doesn't say anything else, and no one can compare to her, and now our Mei family is relying on her to support it." ”

Mother Liu was amazed in her heart, and inquired, "Sister Zhang, I also want to pull a few clothes for the family, I don't know what color materials are in the auspicious dyeing workshop that Yongzhu said?" ”

When Mrs. Li said this, she became energetic, "Big sister, I'll follow."

You say, you asked me a question. My daughter dyed several colors, and she was energetic and resistant to dirt when she wore it, and now she sells well, and she has indigo ......"

……

By the time the men were full of wine and food, Mei Xiaotong's side had already registered almost the fabrics needed by the whole village, most of which were indigo, working in the mountains, and trying to endure dirty.

Occasionally, there are also those bought for the daughters of the family, the colors are bright, and there are two families, and those who are going to get married at the end of the year are set in crimson.

There are all kinds of horses, and there are several horses in total.

Mei Xiaotong made an appointment, and the next time she entered the mountain, she would bring the fabric in for everyone.

The Orion ladies asked Mei Xiaotong, will you receive the mountain goods these days? Every family has some inventory, and yesterday a man in the family returned empty-handed, and the food at home was not enough, so he had to sell some mountain goods so that he could go to the neighborhood to buy food.

Mei Xiaotong groaned for a while, turned her head to see that Mei Changgui was dizzy from drinking, and thought that she couldn't test it.

"Otherwise, let's go home and sort it out first today, and see what mountain goods to sell, tomorrow morning, I'm still waiting for you here." But the ugly words are said in front, our family collects mountain goods, not everything, but also depends on the quality of mountain goods, the price of good is higher, and the quality is poor, the price will naturally be lower. If everyone can accept it, they will send the mountain goods early tomorrow morning, and if they can't accept it, they won't force it. ”

"That's nature, things are good and bad, prices are naturally high and low, and we are not unreasonable people. Girl, don't worry! Early tomorrow morning, I will send my mountain goods! Immediately, there was a refreshing mother-in-law who expressed her position.

The rest of the people also agreed.

Just like that, everyone dispersed.

When everyone left, Liu Xiaoqiao looked at Mei Xiaotong with admiration, "Sister Mei, you are so powerful, you can do anything!" ”

It's an idol, he can kill wolves, dye cloth, and do business!

Mei Xiaotong looked at Liu Xiaoqiao, and her mind moved, "What's this, sister Xiaoqiao, you just need to take a look at it." Besides, I also don't know, such as how to distinguish the good and bad of mountain goods, I am definitely not as good as you. I have an idea, I wonder if Sister Xiaoqiao is interested in listening? ”

Liu Xiaoqiao hurriedly said, "What do you think?" ”

Mei Xiaotong thought that Mei Changgui would stay and live in Chongzigou to buy mountain goods, what good things were there,

You can receive it first-hand.

And the Liu family, as the Mei family's collection point in Chongzigou, can contribute some money, one is to rent someone's house as a warehouse.

Second, you can also hire the brothers and sisters of the Liu family to help buy mountain goods, with them, whoever has good things in Chongzigou will definitely not be able to hide it.

She saw that the Liu family was happy, firstly, she wanted to use the identity of the Liu family to completely control the business of Chongzigou Village in her own hands, and secondly, she remembered that Liu Xiaoqiao, such a big girl, did not even have pancreas, and she still used soaphorn, which was too bitter.

Let the Liu family help, you can give them wages, and you can also subsidize Liu Xiaoqiao's daily necessities for the girl's family outside the mountain.

As soon as Mei Xiaotong said what she meant, Liu Xiaoqiao didn't speak, and Liu's mother agreed one after another.

Seeing that the Mei family's daughter is so powerful, Liu's mother is not envious, and now the Mei family's daughter wants to pull her own daughter, no matter why, this is an opportunity.

My own daughter will learn a little more, she will not hunt in the future, she will marry outside the mountain, and she will not suffer a loss if she takes the road of the Mei family's daughter.

Liu Xiaoqiao is actually a little excited.

Don't say anything else, in the past few days, Liu Xiaoqiao saw Mei Xiaotong talking and acting, almost saying whatever she said, and none of the Mei family objected.

Liu Xiaoqiao thinks that his father and mother are not patriarchal, her status at home is not bad, her two brothers let her, and her father and mother also love her.

Compared to the other girls in the village, she was already much better than them.

But compared with Mei Xiaotong, she found out that girls can live a more nourishing and better life.

Why does Mei Xiaotong have the confidence and why does she speak well, because she can make money.

In the past two days, she also heard that the Mei family's mountain goods business was started by Mei Xiaotong, Mei Xiaotong can also dye cloth, and the dye recipe was sold for a lot of money.

What an honor this is for a girl's family.

The Mei family now relies on Mei Xiaotong to become prosperous, no wonder she can be the master of the Mei family.

Looking at Mei Xiaotong, Liu Xiaoqiao's eyes shone brightly, she also wanted to be like Mei Xiaotong, earn her own money, don't have to look at other people's faces, can straighten her waist, and listen to others.

Therefore, after a slight hesitation, Liu Xiaoqiao nodded and agreed.

The reason why Mei Xiaotong takes a fancy to Liu Xiaoqiao is that she has the kind of strength that is rare in other girls' families, she does not admit defeat, does not accept fate, and is assertive.

Seeing that Liu Xiaoqiao agreed, he was also happy in his heart, and pulled Liu Xiaoqiao and the two of them to talk while walking affectionately.

Mother Liu saw it in the back, and she was also happy in her heart, and took Mrs. Li's hand, "Sister Zhang, I won't say much other polite words, you just have to rest assured that Changgui's child will live in our house, and I will treat him as my own son." And in the future, your family's business, just rest assured, there is our family to watch for you, and you can keep it

What's wrong! ”

Mrs. Li was waiting for Mother Liu's words, and agreed with a smile and a few polite words.

Back in the courtyard of the Liu family, Liu's father and Mei Zhongzhong drank a little too much, and were helped back by several sons, and fell asleep.

Mei Changgui also drank a lot, and went back to lie down.

Liu Daming and Liu Dasheng didn't dare to drink more, so they helped everyone back and helped clean up the remaining wolf meat in the yard.

The wolfskins were peeled and tanned with the help of the hunters, and hung in the yard to be aired and dried.

Wolf meat had a feast for the whole village at noon, and most of them went, and the rest, Liu Mu and Li Pozi, plus Liu Xiaoqiao and Mei Xiaotong, began to make jerky and meat sauce.

Mother Liu can also make jerky, but she has never seen to make meat sauce, so she gave Mrs. Li a hand, and learned two tricks by the way.

I thought to myself that I would also make some meat sauce in the future, and when the time comes, the men and their sons will go into the mountains to hunt, and bring some and some dry food, which is better than just chewing on jerky.

Although An Huahao drank a lot, he drank a good amount of alcohol, and he was still sober.

Pulling Mei Xiaotong in the yard, while roasting the jerky, while discussing, "I heard from you that I will collect mountain goods early in the morning?" ”

Mei Xiaotong threw some cypress branches into the fire, got up and poured a bowl of water for An Huahao, Liu Mu also asked to add some honey to the water, and handed it to An Huahao before replying, "Well, I want to take a batch back first, and let the fourth brother stay here to continue to collect mountain goods, and come once every half a month." Although the eldest brother is here at home, I am still a little worried. ”

If there is only Mei Xiaoque's family, Mei Xiaotong has nothing to worry about, but isn't there Mei Changqing?

Although Mei Changqing has been a lot more honest recently because of Sun Afu's matter, he can't suppress him without himself and Mrs. Li at home.

Moreover, Mei Xiaotong remembered the matter of jade mushrooms in her heart, she has not been idle in the past two days, and inquired about them on the side, jade mushrooms are rare, and there are not many Orion families in Chongzigou.

Therefore, she still has to find a way, and she has to grow jade mushrooms by herself.

It's just that now the family has a lot of eyes, and if you plant it in the firewood room, I'm afraid it won't work, and you have to find another place.

Therefore, you must not stay long in Chongzigou.

An Huahao nodded, "These wolf skins will be placed in the Liu family for the time being, I think their tanning skills are good, just come back next time and take them together." ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded, the two discussed a few more words, and then gave the itinerary.

In the stove house, Liu's mother looked at An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong as they discussed and were amiable, and she was envious.
