Chapter Seventy-Four: Sending Meat (Qingyun Plus Change, Asking for Tickets)
The two brothers pulled the prey to Fulinmen, but Shao Tianrui did not lower the price, but settled the silver according to the market price.
Wild boar meat is 30 wen a catty, a total of 320 catties, 9 taels of silver, wolf meat is 130 catties, 50 wen a catty, even the fur is counted, so it is more expensive, a total of 6 taels and 5 cents of silver. After this trip, wild boar and wolf meat were sold for more than 16 taels and 1 yuan.
Hiding the money, Brother Xu Guanghua thought that he would ask Li Laohan to send another wild boar to the Yingbin Building, so he doubled the car money and directly gave Li Laohan 200 wen for the car.
Thinking that they would have to send a trip to the Yingbin Building later, the brothers hurried back in Li Laohan's ox cart.
Back at Xu's house, the brothers cut off half of the remaining wild boar and sent it to Yingbin Lou by Xu Guangqi and Li Laohan, while Xu Guanghua stayed to deal with the remaining half of the pork.
It's just that these pork are not easy to handle, and now that the weather is hot, the meat can't be put away, and if it is winter, it can be made into bacon and stored.
In the end, the Cao family decided to give some of the pork to the two in-laws and two daughters.
The remaining pork is about 150 catties, 30 catties from Wu's mother's family, 30 catties from Hu's mother's family, and 30 catties from each of the two daughters who are married abroad.
In this way, one hundred and twenty catties were given away at once, and the remaining thirty catties were kept for their own use, and they understood that they had to invite guests to cook when they started the foundation, and these meats were almost enough.
After dividing the meat, you have to send it quickly, otherwise it will be spoiled after a long time, and while it is still early, the Cao family asked them to send the meat out.
The Wu family took Xu Qingjun to his parents' house, the Hu family took Xu Qingyan's sister and brother to the Hu family, and Xu Guanghua sent meat to the two eldest sisters' families who got married.
Hu Luo's father and son started making tofu at home, but this tofu is not for sale, but the Xu family is going to treat them tomorrow, and these tofu can also be used, Xu Xiulan and Hu Wenzhen naturally help them.
Xu Qingyan has no memory of the original owner, so this is the first time she has followed the Hu family to her grandmother's house, and she can't help but be a little curious, I don't know where my grandparents' house is, and what is the difference between it and Beishan Village? ”
Hu's mother's house is in Yaoshang Village, west of Beishan Village, which is ten miles away from Beishan Village.
But Xu Qingwen was too young, and he shouted tired halfway through walking, saying that he couldn't walk, and it was impossible for Hu to carry 30 catties of wild boar on his back.
Seeing this, Xu Qingyan hurriedly said: "Mother, give me the basket, you can carry Awen." ”
Hu Shi opened his mouth and said: "Then how can it be done, that wild boar is not light, don't crush you." ”
"Mother, you forgot that my strength has increased, I can carry this little thing, you give it to me."
It's just that she asks to carry meat, not Awen, because she is afraid of meeting people on the road, she is a twelve-year-old girl carrying a five-year-old child, how strange is this scene, especially with adults around.
Hu Shi reacted when he heard this, yes, Ah Yan is amazing now,
Therefore, he nodded happily and handed the basket to Xu Qingyan, seeing that after she put the basket on her back, there was indeed no reluctance on her face, so she carried Ah Wen behind her. Out of the main road, Hu took her to take a shortcut, so that she could walk less than two miles.
On a small road leading to the village, Xu Qingyan walked while watching, and by the way, she checked if there were any herbs she knew on the side of the road, and Xu Qingwen slept soundly on Hu's back.
In April, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the unknown wildflowers bloom along the way, releasing their unique charm. The fragrance of flowers came from the air, refreshing people's hearts, and in the rice fields in the distance, a green wave rolled.
After half an hour of walking, she vaguely saw a village looming in the bamboo forest, and Xu Qingyan secretly guessed that it should be Yaoshang Village in front.
When she got closer, Xu Qingyan saw that Yaoshang Village was surrounded by a bamboo forest, and when she followed the Hu family into the bamboo forest, she saw that a thatched house was located in it, and the Hu family stopped in front of the third house at the head of the village.
The thatch here looks like it is not too young, and the courtyard door is closed at this time, and Hu Shi shouted inside: "Dad, mother, I'm back, are you here?" ”
Immediately, a voice came from inside, "Where are you?" Then there was the sound of footsteps. As the courtyard door opened, an old lady with half-white hair appeared behind the door,
Seeing that his daughter came back with her grandson and granddaughter, Yuan said with a smile on her face: "Yo, Ah Yan and Ah Wen are also here, come in, grandma will make you sugar water to drink." ”
When Hu sat down in the courtyard, the old lady asked, "Why do you want to go home this year, Huazi, I didn't come back with you." ”
Hu replied: "I don't have some wild boar at home, I'll send some to you, and Brother Hua will send meat to his eldest sister and second sister's family." ”
The old lady looked at the back basket at this time, and then exclaimed: "Why are there so many, where did they come from, do your mother-in-law know it, don't hide it from them!" ”
Hu Shi said helplessly: "Mother, listen to me, this is what my mother-in-law asked me to send, and my sister-in-law's family is also so much, you can accept it with confidence." ”
When Mrs. Yuan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, not to hide it, otherwise her daughter would have to eat and hang up when she turned around.
He turned around and asked, "I'm afraid this meat must have dozens of catties, where did you get this meat?" ”
"Huazi caught it from the mountains yesterday."
"Then why don't you sell it, your mother-in-law's life is not easy, and you can exchange it for a lot of silver if you sell it."
"Most of the meat was sold, but the meat could not be sold, so the relatives took some of it. By the way, my dad, why didn't I see it. ”
When the old lady heard this, her face, which was still smiling just now, suddenly drooped, "Your father injured his leg and is resting in the room." ”
When Hu Shi heard this, he immediately asked: "What's the matter, why did you hurt your leg when you are so good, let me take a look?" Then he got up and went into the house.
The old lady followed behind and said angrily: "It's not that Zhao Gouzi is making trouble behind our family, their family wants to build a new house, and they want to occupy the foundation of our family." If you want to expand the courtyard wall to our backyard, your father will reason with them. Zhao Gouzi, you don't know that person, that is, a bastard beast, a person who doesn't even care about his mother, what conscience can he have, and reason with him, it's really useless. ”
After a pause, he said: "Your father's temperament, you also know, honest and can't speak, where can you talk about Zhao Gouzi, then Zhao Gouzi is also hateful, not only unreasonable, but also pushed your father to the head." ”
After the old lady finished speaking, several of them had already entered the inner room, and Xu Qingyan followed Hu into the room, but saw an old man about fifty years old leaning on an old wooden bed, coughing twice from time to time.
Seeing this, Hu Shi hurriedly stepped forward and patted the old man's back, "Dad, you're coughing again!" ”
The old man smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, it's an old problem, I may have a cold in the past few days, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
When Hu Shi heard him say this, he didn't speak anymore, but asked instead: "I heard from my mother that your leg is injured, let me see if the injury is serious." ”
The old man waved his hand when he heard the words and said, "It's not serious, don't listen to your mother's nonsense." ”
Yuan Shi said angrily when he heard this: "What I'm talking nonsense, it's not serious if my leg is broken, what is serious, let you not go to people to reason, you don't listen, that Zhao Gouzi has been with our neighbor for so many years, what kind of person is he, you don't know, is that a reasonable person." Now that it's good, let people break a leg, there is no explanation. ”
