Chapter Seventy-Four: Go to the Bazaar and Sell Meat

The door creaked open, and more light came through it.

"Mom, is Dad asleep?" Gao Mingcheng shouted, and said, "I got a wild boar in the mountains today and sent you something." The rest of the pork, I will sell it at the Junling Old Market tomorrow morning. ”

Gao Mingcheng gestured to the things in his hand, and then handed them to his mother.

Luo Xiaohua was not very happy with a drooping face, but after seeing the things sent by Gao Mingcheng, his eyes immediately lit up, and even Gao Yuanjian, who was lying in the room, came out with a coat.

"Did you hit a wild boar? What was it used for? You weren't hurt by a wild boar, were you? Gao Yuanjian walked towards Gao Mingcheng quickly, his brows furrowed.

Wild boars are not hares or pheasants or anything, if you go to fight that thing, you will die if you don't get it!

A long time ago in their village, when someone was collecting firewood in the mountains, he encountered a wild boar, and he was hit by a wild boar, and half his life was almost gone.

Later, when they were collecting firewood, they did not dare to go too deep into the forest.

Gao Mingcheng heard the concern for him in his father's tone, and his heart suddenly felt comfortable.

He spread his hands, showed his body, and said proudly: "I'm fine, I'm lucky, I picked up a big bargain, the wild boar happened to be only one, and there were injuries on the body, I wanted to try, and when I chased it, the wild boar fell into a pit." ”

Luo Xiaohua glanced at Gao Mingcheng and thought to himself, the luck of the second child was so good.

Gao Yuanjian also breathed a sigh of relief, but still taught a lesson: "It's okay, you often run into the mountains, be careful yourself!" ”

"Hey, okay. Dad, this thing is a little less, if there is any leftover tomorrow, I will send it to you again. Gao Mingcheng said a word, which was to explain why he didn't send more meat.

Gao Yuanjian glanced down at the things sent by the second child, well, it's not very little.

So he said, "What's left?" It's all sold! It doesn't matter if you hit a wild boar and sell the meat, you will have some money in your hands. ”

After the father and son talked, the atmosphere between each other was okay, and no one mentioned the quarrel last time.

At this time, the third Gao Mingwan also came out of the house, he was already asleep in a daze, and when he heard the movement outside, he couldn't help but get up again.

"Second brother, did you get a wild boar? How big is that wild boar? You carried it back alone? Gao Mingwan's excited voice trembled, and he looked at his second brother with bright eyes.

Gao Mingcheng smiled reservedly: "It's not heavy, it's only about one hundred and fifty pounds, and after removing the fur and internal organs, there is not much good meat." ”

"Second brother, go, take me to see!" Gao Ming was anxious to see the wild boar, but was stopped by his father.

"What do you see? Didn't you see the blood on your second brother's body? You go back to the house and go to sleep, what are you doing? Second, you hurry up and go to the reservoir to wash and sleep. "When Gao Yuanzhi is not partial, he is actually quite objective, and some of the details he notices are things that Luo Xiaohua will not notice.

Or Luo Xiaohua noticed it and didn't care.

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng responded, he looked down at his clothes, they were dirty everywhere, there were mud, there were also a lot of traces of pig blood, and the clothes were sticking to his body, which was a little uncomfortable.

He said goodbye to his family, and before leaving, he remembered one more thing and said, "Dad, I will take the medicinal herbs the day after tomorrow and go to the other place with the boss, and it is estimated that it will take ten days to come back." ”

His father was not surprised to hear it, some time ago, he naturally knew about Gao Mingcheng's collection of medicinal materials in the village, but Gao Mingcheng did not give in, and he was not willing to take the initiative to pull down his son to ask.

Now he said, "Well, then you should be careful and listen to the boss." ”

Gao Mingcheng was about to leave, Luo Xiaohua stopped him, and asked curiously: "Second brother, you help people do things, how much money does he give you?" ”

"I don't know, it depends on whether the medicinal herbs sell well or not." Gao Mingcheng prevaricated, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and hurried away.

When he returned to his grandmother's house, he took a clean change of clothes and walked to the reservoir.

When Gao Mingcheng came back from bathing in the reservoir, the wild boar at home had already been cleaned up.

There were too many wild boars, so they were placed on the door panel, but in order to prevent wild cats and mice from stealing them, they were covered with two layers of gauze, and then pressed with something around them.

The gauze is breathable, and the temperature is low at night in October, so if you leave it overnight, the meat will not spoil.

Gao Mingcheng saw that his grandmother had cleaned up very well, so he didn't ask much, he went back to the house and lay down to rest, tomorrow is the gathering of Junling, and he has to get up early to sell meat.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Gao Mingcheng got up.

The courtyard was quiet, only Gao Zhuang's snoring sounded from time to time, Gao Mingcheng did not wake up Gao Zhuang, but planned to go alone.

Yesterday, Grandma Xi said to let Gao Zhuang go to help together, because a pig is easy to carry, but after the pork is placed on the door panel, it is not easy for one person to take it.

But Gao Mingcheng also had a way, he put the pork in a clean rice bag so that it could be easily carried on his shoulder, and in the other hand carried a basket with a kitchen knife and scales and a large bundle of palm leaves.

Palm leaves can replace the role of bags, after customers buy pork, poke a hole in the pork, and then use palm leaves to penetrate it, tie a knot and carry it in their hands, which is convenient and environmentally friendly.

Pushing open the courtyard door, Gao Mingcheng went to Junling alone with his things.

His steps were fast, and when he arrived at Junling, there were few people around.

Since the sky was not yet bright, several families living in Junling deliberately pulled out wires to illuminate a place.

The life here in Junling is better than that of their Gaojia Village.

The main thing is to take advantage of the terrain cheaply.

The collection of several nearby villages is set at Junling. In addition, Junling is also adjacent to the national highway and has a small railway station, and people who live here, but who are not lazy, can make money.

"Gao Mingcheng, come here so early! What are you selling this time? When someone familiar saw Gao Mingcheng, he immediately greeted him.

Gao Mingcheng is also a frequent visitor to the market, often coming to sell some hares and pheasants, and will also buy some food back.

has sold more times, and Gao Mingcheng's reputation for hunting and playing wild meat has gradually spread.

"Sell wild boar! I got it in the mountains yesterday afternoon, uncle, do you want to taste wild boar? Gao Mingcheng put the things down in a lighted place, and as soon as the bag was opened, it revealed the wild boar that had been processed.

Domestic pigs are common, wild boars are rare, as soon as I heard that it is wild boar, several people around have come to see the excitement.

Gao Mingcheng was also generous, let them see it, and said to one of them: "Uncle, do you have an old door panel in your house?" Borrow one for use. ”

"There's a big plank, it's okay for you." The man said a word, and went back to the house to get the plank.
