Chapter 435: Xiao Er's Heart and Eyes (2-in-1 Chapter)
Yan Yu has learned a lesson this time.
She and Fourth Uncle Qi didn't want to eat the sheep all the way, and they smeared the snow over and over again to keep it frozen, so they were afraid that it would be bad, but in the end they still did something wrong.
The sheep does not bleed, and the flesh is red.
Mama Rong soaked it in cold water to remove the fish.
It was ginger and hawthorn, and it was washed over and over again, and finally it was fried with green onions to barely get rid of the fishy smell of mutton.
The people in the village came to buy meat, and the eldest girl also made it clear to the people that the two sheep did not bleed when they died, and they tasted fishy and bubbled.
Even so, the big guy still wanted to buy some, and the mutton snatched from the other side of the mountain was not ordinary, and the taste became secondary.
These two sheep, Yan Yu didn't dare to sell them expensively, five cents a catty.
The sheep looks big, and the sheepskin is about the same as the goat, and there is not much meat, and your family has two catties, and my family has one catty, and each family in the village has one penny, and there is not much left.
The rest let the Guan butchers wrap the round, and they later settled in these families in Xiao'an Village, the family background is thin, although the taste is poor, but it is cheap.
As soon as Qi Si left the door of Yan's house, he was blocked by Village Chief Luo, followed him all the way home, stared at him to eat, and took him back to his house directly after eating.
Qi Si didn't dare to eat more in a hurry, and Mrs. Qi felt sorry for him, so she picked out all the remaining steamed buns in the pot and wrapped them for Qi Da to send.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Village Chief Luo has always known that the three brothers of the Qi family can eat, but is this meal a bit too much?
The Qi family is really heroic when eating, and they go directly to the basin.
There are two pots of steamed buns, stacked high, and there are also two pots of vegetables, one pot is the same as the Yan family, fried mutton with green onions, and a pot of stewed cabbage, and the three brothers of the Qi family are called a whirlwind and clouds.
Village Chief Luo suddenly felt that except for them, the people next to him didn't seem to be moving.
As soon as the front foot entered his house, Qi Da sent steamed buns to the back foot.
Seeing Qi Si take out the steamed buns directly and gnaw on them, is this not full?
Village Chief Luo felt that it was really not easy for the old sister of the Qi family at this moment!
Looking at his son and grandson again, it is pleasing to the eye......
He brought people home, and it was always difficult for people to choke on steamed buns, so Village Chief Luo asked his eldest daughter-in-law to weigh two dishes.
If Qi Si in the past resolutely listened to the old lady's words, he would definitely not move quickly.
But after staying with Xiao Er for a long time, Qi Si also learned something.
He thanked Village Chief Luo and planned to buy more meat from Luo San in the future.
In the final analysis, the three brothers of the Qi family are just honest, they react slowly, they are not stupid, and they can figure out some things if they think about it slowly.
Qi Si didn't know where to say yes, so he asked Village Chief Luo, and he replied.
Yan Yu's side is in a different situation.
She has several people on top, and that's called a painting with a voice and a full voice.
One will perform a lying on the kang and remain motionless in the snow, and then thunder to attack, hugging the calf and running......
I will use a square scarf to tie my hair and put it on the head of the cat......
The cat dodged in disgust, cooperated tightly, followed the example of a cow and remained motionless, and put his ears back as far back as possible to make it more convenient for the square towel to be covered......
This will Yan Yu begin to talk about the situation in the mountains.
「…… There is snow on the ground, there are some wild things in the mountains to walk over, you can see it clearly, there are a lot of big guys, I and Uncle Qi don't dare to sleep, and there are wolves calling at night, but fortunately, it sounds very far away, and I haven't really encountered it.
….
Mother, guess what, there are mushrooms in the mountains at this time, the eldest one, but the color is a little yellowish, unlike the ones we picked before, I look like they can eat, but I can't be sure, so I picked one with a straw mat and put it in my basket, Aunt Rong, you go back and help me see if it can be eaten." She said to Mama Rong.
Mama Rong smiled and nodded.
As soon as he turned around and went out of the house, he returned after a while, and took with him the yellow mushroom she had said.
Mama Rong handed it to Li Xuemei and nodded to indicate that it could be eaten and was non-toxic.
Yan Yu was happy.
"Haha! Can you really eat it? There are a lot of them in the mountains, a large area, but the location is a little inward, and it is not easy to find it when it is hidden deeply, but it's okay, I remember that place, oops, it can't be left in vain, tomorrow, tomorrow I will bring someone into the mountain to pick them back."
The big girl reached out and touched the big mushroom that was fat, and she was eager to try.
"Little Er, my sister will go with you too."
"I want to go too." Qing'er said.
Li Xuemei really convinced her daughter, she had more strength and more energy.
As soon as I got home, I was still running to the mountains.
Mama Rong said that she was going too.
Yan Yu nodded again and again: "Aunt Rong went to help take a look, so she didn't have to pick poisonous mushrooms and come back."
Seeing Qing'er's longing, she looked at her pitifully.
She thought for a moment and said, "You can go if you want, but you can't go to the ground, you can only stay in the basket."
Qing'er's eyes lit up suddenly: "Qing'er is obedient and doesn't go to the ground."
It was late, and the eldest girl took Qing'er back to the house to sleep.
Mama Rong also packed up and went home.
Only Li Xuemei and Yan Yuniang were left in the house.
"Do you want to go again?" Li Xuemei plucked the wick of the oil lamp.
"Hey, hey!" Yan Yu only smiled and didn't speak.
She turned over, her thick long hair hanging down naturally, and her small face was not as big as a palm.
"The wheels of history tell us that true peace can only be achieved by subduing the enemy."
Li Xuemei glanced at her, how can you get your mother?
Yan Yu smiled awkwardly: "Mother, I really thought about it seriously, on the surface, I just went to get some cattle and sheep back, but in fact, this will cause a result of one thing and the other.
We live in Huju, right next to Beijung, so we can't afford to plan more.
Those Beirong will only gather when they are raiding the pass, and they usually live in dispersion, and breaking them one by one is also a disguised way to reduce the pressure on our border cities.
They can also destroy the enemy in advance, and with the harvest of cattle, sheep and horses, maybe they can even get some food back......
That's right, Yan Yu's eyes not only saw cattle and sheep, but also horses.
There is a shortage of horses in the Kannai.
Beirong comes and goes like the wind, and it comes and goes repeatedly, isn't it just relying on a good horse.
In the battle of the tiger, the reinforcements and Beirong were close at a moment's notice, and they pursued and left, almost in vain.
It's not so much about snatching some food back, it's about picking up some food.
Li Xuemei still didn't speak.
Yan Yu said coquettishly: "Mother, you see that I and Fourth Uncle Qi are not prepared for anything, and we haven't brought the cattle and sheep back safely, let's really prepare well, I am confident that I can eat that Beirong."
Bring back more cows, sheep and horses and suck up!
"There are about 100 people you said, and there is no benefit from the arrow tower, how can you eat people, do you rely on your mouth?" Li Xuemei didn't have a smile on her face.
….
Yan Yu's voice immediately lowered: "How can you rely on your mouth, isn't there still a border army."
Li Xuemei glared: "Border army?"
"I'm not stupid, of course I won't use these people in our village to fight to the death with Beirong, but I found out the movements of a small group of Beirong, is it considered a credit? When I tell Xue Zongqi, I don't believe that he is not moved, the head of the head is still considered a military merit, cattle, sheep and horses and food...... What is not uncommon!
What's that, the border army takes the big head, let's take a sip of soup and help put a cold arrow next to it......
There are the lost cattle and sheep, let's help find them...... And they all rejoiced in what you said about it."
Yan Yu's imagination is very beautiful, and he also feels that there is a lot of room for maneuver in this matter.
"Why do other border soldiers have to take you, people can't do it alone?" Li Xuemei poured cold water on her.
"That can't be, Xue Zongqi doesn't have enough manpower, and our border army is short of people." Of course, Yan Yu will not let it go without it, and ponder it thoroughly. "He has to keep people to guard the guard, there are not many people who can be transferred, and the guards next to him borrow people, how can there be good people in our village, let's not compete with him for military merits, all the heads of Beirong belong to him, we only need cattle, sheep, and horses for him
。」
The horses seized in Xiao'an Village before are too difficult to raise, especially in this winter, and forage is a big problem.
If there are any more horses, all of them will be given to Xue Zongqi, and Xiao'an Village will have cattle and sheep.
"Besides, there is Uncle Hu and their future here, the eldest brother of the prince Xu we can have a general flag, but Uncle Hu is not qualified, they can't give it right away, and it depends on their performance, if they have military merits, the position of this general flag may be able to come down early, on the contrary, if the performance is mediocre, this general flag may be yellow.
No one can say what the future holds, so if you can rise early, you can go up sooner."
Uncle said that Guanzhou might be conscripted, but Yan Yuke kept it in mind.
Li Xuemei had to admit that her daughter had thought enough and was reasonable.
His expression slowly eased, and he thought for a moment and said, "Your uncle is not here, you can ask your father about this matter."
Yan Yu squinted his eyes and laughed: "I think so too, in case Xue Zongqi doesn't admit it, I have to talk to my master, if the official office can draw out manpower, let my master also get involved."
Li Xuemeizai looked at her daughter carefully, this child didn't use all his strength to study before, look at these hearts, if you study hard, you can't pass the school.
"Mother, what's wrong with my shop?" Yan Yu asked.
Li Xuemei retracted her gaze and fumbled for a box.
Yan Yu's eyes widened as soon as he saw this wooden box.
She knows this box too well, the master took it back from the palace, took the money inside, the box was useless, her father took it home, and her mother used it to pack valuable things at home.
Their family's money, as well as the title deeds of the forest land, are all here.
Li Xuemei opened the box, found a piece of paper, and handed it to her.
Yan Yu couldn't wait to take it, approached some oil lamps, and looked at them at a glance.
Title deed!
The title deed of her shop!
"You're young, so it's my name." Li Xuemei said: "He Zhongren collected two taels of Chinese fees, and the formalities were all handled by Xue Zongqi, and my village chief Toro helped me run a trip, and it cost a total of three hundred and eighty-two taels, and the four hundred taels of silver tickets you put me here, there are only eighteen taels left, na, they are all here."
….
She opened the box for Yan Yu to see.
"Wow! I really have a shop!" Yan Yu wanted to roll excitedly, worried that the title deed would be accidentally broken, so she hurriedly said: "Mother, you still help me keep it, the key will be given to me, and the silver, haha, I'll go over tomorrow, measure the house first, draw the sketch, and then ask the uncles in the village to help renovate."
Li Xuemei laughed, "Aren't you going into the mountains tomorrow to pick mushrooms? Are you going to Fucheng to measure the shop again? Do you still want to go to Huju to find your father? You've had a fulfilling day, and I'm not against you tossing, but can you run through?"
Yan Yu: Gah!
I really can't run.
……
Yan Yu prioritized the matter.
The matter of Beirong is very important, and it must be decided as early as possible, although I think that those Beirong will not leave in the short term, it can be prevented, and it is better to solve it quickly.
Mushrooms can't wait, mushrooms are so delicate, it's best to pick them as soon as they grow, and a day later will affect the taste.
She didn't even have to set an alarm clock, and the rooster in her backyard pulled her neck and shouted at her.
Get dressed and go out without washing your face.
Go to Luo's house first and then Cui's house, just run these two.
The news will spread throughout the village in a very short time.
The eldest girl also got up early and went out.
She also has little sisters to be notified.
The two sisters came home after a walk, and after breakfast, the courtyard gradually became lively.
There are still many people who want to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms.
Yan Yu tied the two baskets together and put them on the donkey.
A few hoes and bamboo crossbows were placed in one basket, and a quilt was placed in the other basket, and Qing'er was carried in.
She carried an iron rod herself, and the eldest girl also had an extra wooden stick in her hand.
Mama Rong also carried a basket, and as soon as a few people came out of the yard, they saw that the people in the village were all dressed in similar clothes.
Both adults and children have it.
Because she has to walk a lot of mountain roads, there are many donkeys and mules like her family, and there are fewer female babies, and there are more half-grown children.
Yan Yu looked at the sky.
Don't talk nonsense, beckon the big guy into the mountain.
Village Chief Luo also followed, and none of the village elders were left behind.
They didn't want to be mushrooms, but wanted to know the situation on the other side of the mountain, and let Qi Si say, the people who listened were anxious and dry, and they walked for more than ten days and almost half a month, let him say, and he would finish in a few words.
These days, just a few words?
Village Chief Luo was angry when he heard it.
After a night of precipitation, Yan Yu felt that the time had come.
On the way, she and Fourth Uncle Qi walked in the mountains for a few days, and looked for a few days on the grassland, how to keep up with those Beirong, counted the tents, and told the people in the village about the estimated number of people.
The people in the village have a rough idea in their hearts.
She also talked about what the grassland was like, not very good for Tibetans, etc., and explained the difficulties clearly.
In the end, he said his plan, and wanted to tell the news to the eldest master, see if the official office had any ideas, and then inform Xue Zongqi......
The border army earns military merits, and if the official office goes to someone, it can share some benefits to some extent, as for Xiao'an Village, hehe, it is pure and pure to be taken to drink soup.
But she can't say these words, last night the mother closed the door, she can talk freely, but in front of outsiders, she still has to put a door on her mouth.
This is not the time when Beirong came into the village, she didn't open her mouth to take care of things, she rushed up, this time, she felt that it was more appropriate for her father to come forward, after all, she was here at her age, and it was too cruel to open her mouth and close her mouth to kill Beirong.
She is still a young second child of the Yan family who has the strength, courage, and a little cleverness, can settle accounts, can make a little money, and can also study.
At most, by chance, I brought back some cattle and sheep, so what, I may have accidentally killed a few more Beirong and the like.
Hey, in short, low-key, low-key.
