038 Zhu Gong Dashan
The adults are still sorry that the leopard can't leave a whole corpse, but the three brothers and sisters of Xu Yue are happy.
"Daddy, eat leopard meat tonight?" Xu Yue asked expectantly.
Xu Da helplessly swept over the three brothers and sisters, and looked at him with three pairs of dark eyes.
Especially Xu Dalang, who looks like a threat to beat you if you don't give your sister leopard meat, who can refuse?
"Eat, eat, eat!" Xu Da nodded painfully, as if cutting his flesh.
But the three brothers and sisters of Xu Yue didn't care about him, staring at the leopard on the ground, eager to eat it immediately.
"It's all starving ghosts reincarnated, and Lao Tzu didn't know what sin he had created in his previous life to suffer this sin......"
Xu Da sighed, and walked towards the stream below the mountain with the leopard on his shoulder.
Wang laughed and clicked on the three Xu Yue brothers and sisters in the air, and together with Wang Dayou, they took away the other dead prey in the Taoist temple but had not had time to clean up, and followed Xu Dayou to the creek together.
The prey that is collected is first strung with a straw rope, and then two tree poles are cut to make a flat pole, and a string is hung at each end, and then it can be picked up and walked.
Those who were still alive were tied with straw ropes, and they were put together with nets made of the bark of the trees, and they were another load.
The most important money leopard, the fur Xu Da deliberately turned over to roll up the fur, and wrapped two rabbit skins outside, so that people couldn't see what kind of fur it was, so it was strung together with a bunch of ordinary skins.
The rest of the meat was much easier, wrapped in wide leaves and placed in a net, so that it was impossible to tell what kind of animal meat it was.
After hiding it like this and getting ready, the two families tasted a pot of leopard meat together, filled their stomachs and went to bed early.
The next day, Xu Yue was woken up by Daddy in her sleep, and when she opened her eyes, the sky outside the Taoist Temple was pitch black, and there was not even a little starlight, maybe it was two or three o'clock in the morning.
Tong used a freshly made wooden bowl to distribute the boiled millet chicken porridge to Xu Yue's children, and told them to eat more, so that they had the strength to hurry.
Because the adults have to carry things, except for the Wang family Xiaolang, who is still unstable, the rest of the people have to go by themselves.
After the children finished breakfast, Wang, Xu Da, and Wang Dayou took up the prey packed early, held the flat shoulder with one hand, and led the children with a torch in the other, and set off with the night.
The autumn is deep and dewy, and there are many weeds on the roadside after getting off the official road, Xu Yue is short, her clothes are wet, and her body is sweating, and the wind blows, and her heart is cold.
Miraculously, she didn't catch a cold.
As the day dawned, the town at the foot of the mountain began to take shape.
Before entering the town, the two families deliberately stopped by the river, washed their faces, washed their hands, arranged their clothes, and made themselves look like individuals.
Otherwise, the image of a refugee will be driven out as a homeless person before he reaches the city gate.
Although it is true that they are real outcasts, the purpose now is to sell their prey, and it is still necessary to maintain a positive image.
It may be that the town is too small, and there are only two yawning officials guarding the city walls, leaning lazily on the city gate.
Seeing the Xu and Wang families coming over, he first looked at them, and then began to interrogate.
Xu Da lied that he and the others were nearby villagers, and two days ago he had hunted some prey in the mountains and was going to enter the city to sell them.
Perhaps because of the lax household registration management in this era, the two officials didn't even need the household registration certificates of the two families, so they just skimmed it at will, and when they saw that they were indeed here to sell their prey, they nodded and let them go directly.
There is no need to add to the city fee or anything.
But the officials of Daqing have exactly the same problem, and they like to take the sheep by the hand.
Although they didn't ask for any entrance fees, the two officials naturally pulled a rabbit from Wang Dayou's burden who entered the city, and watched them enter the city with a smile.
Xu Da had expected this to happen, and seeing that the two of them just took a rabbit by themselves, they didn't act more excessively, so they went with them.
Looking at the appearance of these officials, I also know that the entire Daqing Kingdom has rotted out from the bones.
With the loss of two rabbits, the two families entered the city without incident.
The town is not big, a street only walks to the end of the ten minutes, but there are quite a few people living in the town, and a small town can afford to open an inn.
Xu Da didn't want to waste too much time on the townspeople who didn't seem to have good living conditions, so he went straight to the inn to find the owner here.
It's best if you can get all the prey out of your hand, if you can't, sell the bulk here first, and then sell the rest slowly.
In the area of socializing, Xu Yueqiang didn't support him, so he served Daddy!
Before and after the crossing, she had never seen anything more foolish than her father.
From entering the inn to smiling and leading the innkeeper out to see the goods, it didn't take more than two minutes in total.
"Zhu Gong, you are optimistic, they are all freshly beaten prey, these are still alive and expensive, and we have cleaned up the rest, if Zhu Gong has to leave, the price can be lower, it is the fate of our acquaintance, do you think it is feasible?"
The innkeeper surnamed Zhu looked at all the prey on his burden, and he didn't seem to be interested in the pheasant and hare, and his eyes lingered on the white fox repeatedly.
Obviously, I fell in love with the snow-white fur of the fox.
Xu Da saw that he directly came to a "bundle" sale, buying a fox and sending rabbit meat, which was so generous that Boss Zhu was a little unbelievable.
"Brother Xu, won't you lose your ......?"
Boss Zhu seemed to want to ask this, but he felt that he was passive when he asked like this, so he couldn't help but hesitate.
Xu Da looked like I trusted Zhu Gong at first sight, "Zhu Gong's willingness to take it away is already a great good, and I don't dare to ask for more." ”
At the same time, he glanced at Wang Dayou, and Wang Dayou knew how to immediately take the fox and all the rabbits and pheasants, dead and alive, to the store.
He is not the honest man who is embarrassed to speak loudly, he used to have a variety of people in the village who worked in the iron, and he has been trained to be a little smart.
Immediately smiled and asked where the kitchen of the person dressed as a second child in the store was, and directly picked the hare pheasant to the kitchen.
At the end, he carried the fox and carefully placed it on the counter in the hall.
There were a few customers kneeling on the straw mats in the shop, like merchants, and when they saw the white and shiny skin of the fox, they immediately grabbed Wang Dayou and asked him if he still had it.
Wang Dayou remembered the remaining rabbit skin and took the person directly outside the inn.
Although it has not been processed, it is all a good skin peeled by the Xu family's mother, one by one, take it back and clean it up, winter is coming soon, and you can sell it for a good price.
Wang Dayou led it out of a knowledgeable person, and when he saw the whole rabbit skin, although he didn't like the fox as obviously, he was still a little disappointed in his heart, but his hand couldn't control it.
Boss Zhu, who was still surprised by Xu Da's generosity, looked at it, thinking about the white fox on the counter who hadn't paid yet, and didn't say anything, signaling Xu Da to wait a while, he took the money!
