Yamajiro sat and tied up the animal skins and feathers that his daughter-in-law and daughter had handled one by one.

The skins were stacked in a stack and tied with hemp rope, and even the beautiful feathers of the pheasants were not wasted, but were plucked one by one and tied into a bundle.

Shan Tao sat on the pony and followed Du Yingqiu to learn how to deal with the excess fascia on the animal skin.

Regardless of the big knife or small knife, in Du Yingqiu's hands, he was as flexible as his left and right arm, and he carefully scraped the excess fascia from the tail to the head, and the skin was not broken at all.

Shan Tao followed Du Yingqiu's example and scraped carefully, the speed was a little slower, but the effect was not bad, if there were uneven places, leave Du Yingqiu to modify one or two, even if it was completed.

These hides are the largest income of the second house at present, and the meat from the hunt fills the stomach, and the skins are given to the hunters in the village in exchange for silver money and rice grain.

Although the skins in the second room are all small beasts, and they will not be professionally tanned by Orion, with Du Yingqiu's skillful hands in perennial surgery, the quality of the hides made is very high, and Orion is very willing to accept them.

Relying on these scattered incomes, the debts of the second house in the village have been paid off a lot, and only the village chief and the big house have not yet been paid off.

Clapping his hands, Shan Tao put the sorted out small animal skins and feathers into the small back basket, "Daddy, I'm going to find Uncle Sun." ”

"Eh, come back early for dinner." Du Yingqiu, who has crossed the first ten fingers and does not touch the spring water, has followed the Jin family to learn to cook these days, and has taken over the three meals a day in the second room.

The top priority at the moment is to repay the money and take care of the body, in order to avoid the conflict with the Du family, the cooking time is specially separated from the big house, and the Jin family eats people with a short mouth to help cover up.

The mountain peach ran up the mountain every once in a while, and in Du's eyes, he only thought that their second room really relied on some wild vegetables to satisfy their stomachs, and they didn't ask a word.

Today, Shan Tao gave these little animal skins to Uncle Sun, the Orion in the village, that is, the kind uncle who reminded her not to startle the snake when she first entered the West Mountain.

As a result, Uncle Sun's house was very lively today, not only him, but also two other hunters in the village, who greeted her with a smile when they saw her come in.

"Siya is doing business again? Yo, this skin is so clean. A hunter watched Uncle Sun untie the hemp rope, turned it over with his hands, and not only smacked his tongue, "It is said that your mother was the most skillful embroiderer in Dahe Village before she got married, and she didn't do any work to support her hands, and it was true." ”

Another hunter smiled and joked with Shan Tao, "Why is your family only doing the business of Lao Sun, and we will also accept these skins." ”

"Old fritters, don't make fun of children." Uncle Sun glared at the one who was joking, took out the rice noodles that had been prepared earlier, put them into the small basket of Shan Tao, counted the full number of copper plates and threaded them with hemp rope, and finally stuffed Shan Tao with a piece of sugar.

Shan Tao didn't shirk either, said thank you sweetly, stuffed the sugar into a small bag, and said clearly: "My family is not a hunter, but I am lucky to occasionally have some small things, which are not worth a few dollars." Uncle Sun is kind and sincere, and my father and mother are grateful. ”

This is not a flattery, it is all the truth, the hunters will take the prey to the town to sell after they are handled, or wait for familiar merchants to collect it regularly.

Most of the prey in the winter mountain is cat winter, and the hunters in the village are also busy planting winter wheat at this time, and few of them are engaged in the fur business.

Uncle Sun was willing to accept the skins of the three melons and two dates in the second room of the mountain family, firstly, he took a fancy to the quality of the hides, and secondly, he also had some goodwill in his heart, and the price was not pressed.

Xu remembered the rumors in the village that Shan Tao was lit by the gods, and the joking hunter put away his ridicule, looked at Shan Tao and thought about it seriously, and hesitated: "Siya is very good at finding prey, and others can't learn this skill." Why don't you let her go up to Dongshan with us to find out? ”

"How old is she, how can she go to Dongshan?" Uncle Sun vetoed it without thinking about it, Siya's ability to find prey is strange, but the West Mountain is different from the East Mountain, there are many large beasts on the East Mountain, where is a child to get it.

"And don't let her hunt, just help find prey." The more Orion who proposed it, the more excited he became, "Besides, with a few of our old Orions leading, and those young and strong, they can't protect a little doll?" ”

Listening to the words of the two of you, Shan Tao asked curiously, "Uncle Sun, have you found a big prey on the East Mountain?" ”

"I went to Dongshan a few days ago to check the traps, and I found relatively large feces on the periphery, eighty percent of which were wild boars." Uncle Sun didn't hide the news, wild boars are large prey that are difficult for ordinary hunters to catch alone, and generally there are traces of this kind of prey, and they will share the news with other hunters in the village, and they have a chance of winning together.

Unlike rabbit and pheasant, wild boar has a unique flavor and solid portion, and restaurants in towns and counties love to accept this kind of game, and the price is also high.

Shan Tao estimated the foreign debts owed by her family now, she relied on fairy magic to find the prey accurately, and the pork she could get was not small, so she left some to eat, and sold the rest, and the money owed to the village chief could be repaid at least half.

"Uncle Sun, take me, I'm lucky, I'll definitely find a wild boar!" Shan Tao's eyes were shining, and she didn't take the initiative to mention the story she told Erzhu, but only said that she was lucky, so she believed that she was more enlightened by the gods.

A wild boar is a rare prey, just in time for a rare opportunity to make money, Uncle Sun did not ruthlessly refuse the treasure hunter of Shan Tao, and finally insisted that she go home to discuss with her father, and her father and mother agreed.

Busy going home to share the good news with his parents, Shan Tao trotted all the way, and just pushed the door open, the smile on his face was still hanging, and he was caught by Du Shi with a gloomy face.

At this point, shouldn't Du Shi be at home?

"Yo, the little fairy is back?" Du Shi squeezed out a sentence from her throat, and she could only blame her for offending too many people last time, and the things that were spread all over the village were only found out several days late.

Shan Tao's eyes glanced at his bedroom, frowning slightly, but he was not afraid of the Du family, but it was always a trouble to make trouble, so he thought about calming things, "Grandma, what are you talking about, I am Siya, not a little fairy." ”

"Not? The village has spread that you are a little fairy, that I am possessed by a little ghost, and that I instigated your father and mother to torture you. When Du Shi mentioned this, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

Since Shan Erlang said that the second room was open alone, Du Shi pretended to mention it unintentionally when he visited the door every day, saying that Shan Erlang was filial piety, and he didn't want to involve his mother and eldest brother, and he couldn't bear to live up to his filial piety and could only agree.

Every time the women in the village heard this, they would look at Du Shi with a strange look, recently washing clothes by the river, and doing needlework during the day around Du Shi, Du Shi realized that something was wrong, but he did not expect that he would carry such a notoriety.

The matter of the second room opening alone fell in the eyes of others, isn't it even more certain that she Du is a villain?

"You dare to arrange grandma like this, I think you didn't get enough of that day, so I'll let you know today who is in charge of this mountain family!"
