Nongmen's charming girl has a medicine field

Chapter 74 Sable, the bottom of the box
Speaking of Feilongniao, Xie Yunfei's mouth began to secrete saliva.

This thing is uncommon and hard to catch.

The colorful feathers of the flying dragon bird are extraordinarily gorgeous, and it will also make a chirping sound to call for its companions. Its appearance makes "dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat underground" fit the occasion.

In fact, the Flying Dragon Bird refers to the hazel grouse. As one of the "Three Treasures in the Mountains", it enjoys many reputations. In the animal world, it is a famous hunting bird.

Many people are curious, why is it called a flying dragon when it is obviously a chicken?

Just because, this thing is delicious, but it is a tribute.

Occasionally, some hunters hunted them, and they ate them secretly.

Obviously, Xie Yunfei and the others also planned to cook and eat them directly in this mountain.

As for what to bring back for the whole family to eat, that's impossible.

If there is a little leak, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.

Flying dragon bird itself is not very good at flying, so it likes to stand on a high place and look into the distance. It is like a chicken, it can't fly at all, it just simply flaps a few times to climb the tree, use the speed to run and use the air to climb the tree , there is no need to be curious at all, it can be done normally if it has wings.

The hazel pheasants on the trees are not afraid of natural enemies. Once they find danger, they will choose to stay calm and find an opportunity to escape quickly. If the opponent is a relatively weak animal, they will catch it in the opposite direction. They become your own lunch!

Therefore, the flying dragon bird is also a hunting bird.

Xie Zhao said: "Okay, put it away first, let's go to see a few other traps. Then go to the usual resting place, cook this thing, and serve it with the layer cake made by Yun'er, and it will be lunch."

At home, of course, there is no lunch.

But those who go out hunting, climbing mountains and wading are prone to hunger, so they usually make some dry food to take with them.

In other words, on hunting days, the Xie family's males actually had three meals a day.

Only when I am at home, I have two meals in the morning and evening.

"There is something."

After experiencing the first and second traps, there was no gain, and everyone was a little disappointed.

In the third trap, the prey suddenly appeared, which lifted everyone's spirits.

Although it is only a rabbit, it can be regarded as an opening.

Not counting hunting, just counting the income of this trap.

Brother Xie went in and carefully took out the rabbit, and cleaned up the trap.

At least, the smell of blood must be removed, and in addition, it must be covered up again.

If it's just a hole and it's so brightly placed there, I'm afraid only a stupid rabbit will jump in.

Um, like, the rabbit that hit the tree?
Afterwards, it was as if the meat had been opened, and soon there were more harvests.

Even, in the fifth trap, Brother Xie fished out a sable in surprise.

Brother Xie said with some pity: "It's a pity, the fur has some damage, and the price will be greatly reduced."

Mink fur is a very precious fur, and it seems that the color of the sable in front of him is still very pure.

It's just a pity that there are a few holes from the belly, which makes the leather look a bit damaged.

As a result, the value of the fur dropped sharply.

Xie Zhao also shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity, if it is complete, this leather can be used as a bottom of the box for your sister. This thing is rare."

Mink fur is not without, and I am afraid there will not be too few in the wild.

But it is not so easy to catch it.

What's more, the fur color of the sable in front of him is very pure, with almost no variegated colors.

Xie Daoyun was a little moved, the words of his father and brother were actually rejoicing that this sable can be skinned to make himself a leather for the bottom of the box.

In the ancient dowry, there were a lot of cloth, fur, etc. at the bottom of the box, and when it was needed, it was taken out of the box.

Or make a waistcoat, or make a cape, and so on.

Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "Some income is good, and it doesn't matter if it is damaged. You can sew it up from the inside with a needle and thread, but you can't see it. It's just right to make a waistcoat for dad."

She didn't plan to use this thing as a bottom box, she could buy it outside.

There are many professional hunters here, who go up the mountain every day and hunt with exquisite skills.

They usually have a lot of fur in their hands, and the appearance is good.

There are also some mountain people who are also proficient in traps, which are much more sophisticated than those made by Xie's father and son. They capture wild animals without damaging their fur.

After all, the value of fur, with or without wounds, may vary by five times, or even more.

For example, if the sable fur is complete, without wounds, and looks solid, it will cost at least 20 taels of silver.

But with this wound, the value dropped sharply, and the fur merchants might lower the price, about five taels of silver.

Although this is still a high price, it is also a good income for the Xie family.

If you are not too particular, five taels of silver can also be said to be a marriage.

Of course, the Xie family would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

Xie Zhao was content in his heart, his daughter wanted everything for him, so he was naturally heart-warming.

But things can't do that.

He touched Xie Daoyun's head: "What nonsense, where did dad use this thing? I'd better go back and let your elder brother peel the skin, tan it, and make you something for pressing the bottom of the box. Although the Zhou family is not a big deal The wealthy family has also transferred to the farming and studying family after all, you don’t have much dowry, how can you gain a foothold?”

Xie Daoyun bit her lip, she naturally felt her father's heart.

However, she has the final say on whether to use it or not?
Forget it, I won't use this for the time being.

Now that spring is warm and flowers are blooming, if you want to use it, you have to wait until the temperature drops in the second half of the year.

She has made a plan to honor her parents more in the future.

As for the married daughter, she didn't care so much about the water that was thrown out.

After getting married, when she came to the Zhou family, she naturally had to take care of the interests of the Zhou family.

But the parents who gave birth to him, are they just abandoned?
Xie Daoyun couldn't do it.

Of course, she does not blindly support her natal family, but also depends on the development of her natal family.

There is a limit in the middle, Xie Daoyun also told himself that he needs to study hard and adjust well.

It is also the first time for her to live in ancient times, and it is also the first time for her to form a family.

Well, it hasn't been built yet.

Everything is crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Xie Daoyun thought this was a special case. Compared with the past, today's harvest is actually quite a lot.

The wild animals are taken back, their furs are peeled, and tanned. Whether they keep them to make shoes or leather boots, or sell them, they can make a lot of money.

You can keep the meat for yourself, or you can take it out and sell it.

As for the suet inside, you can get it out and keep it for yourself.

Everyone in the family is short of oil, and the oil outside is really expensive.

"This may be a political achievement. I can remind Zhou Tingyu in the future. But I have to wait for him to be a Jinshi before he is sent to be an official. This thing is a lot of wealth. If he is not an official, how can he ensure his safety?"
