The Liu family began to get busy, boiling water, sharpening knives, and shaving.

Liu Yiyu took the knife and broke the wild boar in half directly from the middle.

After that, all the pigs were cleaned out of the water, and to the surprise, there was a large piece of oil in the belly of this wild boar.

This plate of oil is a good thing, boiling oil can be used for your own family, and the plate oil can also be boiled into oil residue.

The oil residue is boiled out, fragrant, crisp and delicious.

After the pig's head, pig bones, pig's feet, and pork chops are removed, only pork remains in the main wild boar.

Liu Yiyu cut these pigs' heads into three pieces, put them in the back basket, and prepared to take the second and third sisters to the Xiangmanlou in the town to sell these wild boar.

Liu Yiyu estimated that these wild boars were seventy catties.

In addition, the market price of wild boar is 20 copper plates a catty, sold to Xiangmanlou, and the purchase price of Xiangmanlou is 15 copper plates a catty.

After going to the town to sell the wild boar, the price of the sale was similar to what Liu Yiyu estimated in his heart, the wild boar was sold for one or two silver and two hangings, combined with the seven hangings left before, wrapped a hangs of red envelopes for Xun'er, and there were still six hangings left, and after the six hangings plus one or two hangings of silver and two hangings, Liu Yiyu saved one or two hangs of silver and eight hangings.

Originally, Liu Yiyu sold the silver money from the wild boar, and wanted to buy some rice and noodles to save back, even if he couldn't eat it at home, he could sell it at that time, make some money from it, and make a small profit of silver.

However, after no rain during this period, all the crops in the paddy fields died of drought, and after only one day yesterday, the price of rice and flour increased wildly, and the price of rice and flour increased wildly, which was two-thirds more expensive than in the past.

After hearing this price, I just earned a tael of silver and two hangs, I am afraid that I can't buy dozens of catties of rice noodles, so it is better to keep it and keep it for other purposes in the future.

......。

"Alas! What now? The crops in the paddy fields are dying, so how will this year's tax revenue be rectified? Originally, the family was still waiting for the crops in the paddy fields to fill their stomachs? It's okay now, there's nothing left, what can I do? Alas! ”。

"Old pomelo, I really can't stand it anymore, or sell an acre of land, exchange it for some silver, buy some food for the children and the elderly at home, and get through this crisis first."

"Da Kun, this can't be done, originally an acre of paddy field can buy eight taels of silver, now I'm afraid it can only be sold for four taels of silver at most, as for the price of dry land is even worse, I'm afraid that an acre can only be sold for two taels of silver, at this time if you sell the land, this can't be drawn." When the old grapefruit heard Da Kun's words, he quickly shook his head and refused.

"What kind of life is your family living now, Lao Yu, the family is out of food! Some time ago, I saw my sister-in-law go to the mountains to dig up some Guanyin soil and tree roots, I'm afraid your family is desperate, eat these! You can stand it, but the children and the old people in the family can't stand it, if your life is gone, what is the use of Arida? If you don't want to sell the land, I still have some surplus grain at home, and I will give some to your family, so that your family can survive this famine first, and then you can return it in September, when the corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes in the dry fields are ripe."

"No, it won't work, Da Kun, I also know what the situation is in your family, sell the field, sell the field! While the price has not yet fallen, he will sell two acres of land." The old grapefruit gritted his teeth and nodded.

Liu Yiyu, who passed by the mountain valley village, heard the conversation of the villagers of the mountain valley village, and also knew the recent situation of the mountain valley village, as soon as the drought came out, the war in previous years, the tax was high, and the villagers of the mountain valley village did not have much surplus grain, originally waiting for the crops in the paddy fields next year to pay taxes and the remaining grain to fill their stomachs, and live this winter, but now this year's drought has come out, I am afraid that many people will starve to death, and even more so, their wives and families will be broken and people will die.

However, Liu Yiyu heard Lao Yu and Da Kun talking to the two of them, now the drought, the price of the field has plummeted, the dry field that originally cost five taels of silver, now only two taels of silver can buy one acre, Liu Yiyu, who heard this, was extremely tempted in his heart, before he bought a lot of rice and flour grain, according to six or seven taels of silver, he should also be able to buy three acres of dry land.

Liu Yiyu also knew the importance of the ancient field to a family, and all the food and money in exchange were exchanged for the field.

If you have a few acres of land, you will not be afraid of going without food for the winter in the future, and you will be self-sufficient, and the excess grain can be exchanged for money, which can be said to be the source of your life.

"Alas! It's a pity, it's a pity". Liu Yiyu shook his head and sighed.

......。

Inside the bamboo house of the Liu family.

"Big sister, you're back, wash your hands and eat."

"Well, mother, today's wild boar meat sold for one or two silver and two pennies, and my daughter hid the silver money first."

Liu Yiyu's family sat on a small stone pier in the open space in the middle of the bamboo house, and only sent their eldest sister out to have dinner.

These stone piers, or Liu Yiyu's sister and brother took a lot of effort to get down from the mountain, the big stone table is one meter wide, one meter and five long, the big stone table is surrounded by ten sitting stone piers, it is one person in the Liu family.

"I'm sorry eldest sister, I sat in your place, I'll get up." The family sat down and waited for Liu Yiyu to come to eat.

Xun'er saw that there were only ten stone piers for the family to sit on, and after sitting on the eldest sister's stone pier, the eldest sister had no place to sit, so Xun'er hurriedly got up and hurriedly said.

"Xun'er, you sit and eat with your eldest sister, the square stone pier is big enough, just let the fifth brother go to the mountain and get another stone pier for you to sit on." Liu Yiyu pressed Xun'er to prevent Xun'er from getting up, and then, holding Xun'er's shoulders, half of his buttocks sat on the stone pier.

"The eldest sister is right, tomorrow let Gorou go to the mountain to get a stone pier down, now it's time to eat." Liu Li also nodded with a smile.

Immediately, one person handed out a black flour cake, and then gave everyone a bowl of pork lung soup cooked with pig lungs today.

"Let's have dinner!". Liu Zhang's first took a bite of the fried beans he grew with chopsticks, and he took a bite of his own fried beans.

A few of the Liu family saw their grandmother say that after eating, and saw that after the grandmother ate first, they squinted happily, ate black flour cakes, drank the thick aromatic pork lung soup, and ate their mother's fried beans, eggplants and shredded potatoes with chopsticks from time to time.

One by one, their mouths were full of oil.

There are vegetables, cakes, meat and soup, which the Liu family never dared to think of before.

"Xun'er, whatever you want to eat, just like your own home, don't be afraid, you can't reach it, you tell the eldest sister, the eldest sister will clip it to you." Liu Yiyu saw that Xun'er only cared about eating black flour cakes and drinking the pork lung soup in his own bowl, and did not go to pick up vegetables, Liu Yiyu also understood that Xun'er was a little sensitive.
