hunting in 1986

Chapter 30 Will You Give Money?

Sitting next to the short tree in the yard, Wang Yuan ate the meat in the bowl, it was so delicious!
The pot is stewed, there are pork, dried tofu, cabbage, vermicelli, mushrooms, fungus, etc., and there are a lot of thick stickmeal pancakes on the side of the pot.

The pancake in Wang Yuan's hand just touched the soup, and the pancake tasted better after absorbing the soup.

After staying in the mountain forest for about half a month, everyone was so hungry that they ate and gorged themselves.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, there is still more."

Grandma Man had a kind smile on her face, seeing that the meat and vegetables in Wang Yuan's bowl were almost gone, she quickly picked up his bowl to serve him vegetables.

"Grandma Man, I can do it myself."

"No, no, I'll serve it for you." Grandma Man directly filled a large pointed bowl for Wang Yuan, pressed it with the bottom of the spoon and added another spoonful.

In the countryside, it is usually very rude to serve guests with a lot of rice, because they feel that if the guests do not have enough to eat, it will be very impolite.

"Is it enough to eat? I'll serve it for you after I finish eating."

"No need, these are enough to eat." Wang Yuan took the bowl and continued to eat.

In addition to pork, tofu, hazel mushrooms and fungus are also very delicious. Wang Yuan knows that in later generations, wild hazel mushrooms are very expensive, but they are not worth much in this era.

Uncle Man took out the barrel of loose wine and poured a glass for everyone. When they were half full, everyone started eating at full speed, chatting while eating.

Wang Yuan, Wu Qian and the others tacitly did not mention ginseng and money. They felt that it was difficult to ask for it. They would not ask for the money from selling ginseng unless they gave it to themselves.

But Uncle Man brought up this issue first, he took a sip of his wine, ate with meat and vegetables and said:
"To sell ginseng tomorrow morning, let's go together... After much deliberation, I decided not to sell ginseng in the village, let's go to the city together."

The air was suddenly quiet.

The son and daughter-in-law of Man Man who were eating at another table also slowed down their chewing speed. They had already eaten four-leaf ginseng.

The daughter-in-law touched her husband with her elbow, and the latter was a little embarrassed, shrinking back, wanting to speak but didn't know how to speak.

In an instant, the daughter-in-law glared at her husband.

His eyes swept over Wang Yuan and the others one by one, and Uncle Man slowly said: "I heard that the state-owned store in the city collects ginseng, and the price will be higher... I won't go to the city for a long time, Xiaoyuan, you have a long time ago Go to the city and sell bear bile..."

"Yes, I know the State Store."

"That's good, that's good. After entering the city without knowing how to read, I really lost my eyesight."

In fact, Uncle Man was very reluctant to go to the city, it was very difficult, but he had to go to the city in order to sell more money.

Sudden.

Wang Shuai said: "That...old man, I have to go to him tomorrow, so I won't go."

"What's the matter, do you want to work in the field? You can do the work in the field a day later. Selling ginseng is much more important than the little farm work in the field. After selling ginseng, I will share the money with you."

They all belong to the same village, and everyone knows the general situation of each family. Besides, in the countryside at this time, almost only grain harvesting is considered a major issue, and there is no major issue in normal times.

After hemming and hawing for a long time, Wang Shuai finally said that his grandfather was seriously ill, and his family was going to see him.

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "..."

He secretly said: "Wang Shuai is probably going to dig ginseng in the mountains... If his grandfather knows that this guy is cursing him, I don't know if he will beat him."

"Then the eight of us will go."

"Good good."

Everyone was full, belching again and again, the sun had completely set and the sky and the earth were completely dark, only the west yard still had the sound of the TV set.

Wang Yuan and the others stood up and said goodbye.

Grandma Man also put all the leftover vegetables in the pot into bowls and gave Wang Yuan, Wu Qian and others a bowl of meat and vegetables each, and asked them to go back and feed their families.

After bringing the meat dishes home and changing the bowl, Wang Yuan sent the bowl back to Uncle Man.

When he came home again, the room was dimly lit, his parents and the little girl were eating meat and vegetables by the kang, and the big white cat was circling around and meowing greedily.

"Meow~meow~"

Petting the cat, Wang Yuan felt very alive.

The little girl is happy eating meat and vegetables, and she feels super happy when she eats meat.

"The bowl was sent back?"

"Well, I will go to the city to sell ginseng with Uncle Man tomorrow morning, and I may not be able to come back at noon."

"Then bring some food for lunch."

"Okay." Wang Yuan touched his sister's little head and said with a smile, "Have you not had dinner, little girl?"

"I ate it, but I can still eat it. The meat is so delicious." The little girl picked out the meat in the bowl and ate it.

After chatting with my family about dinner at night.

Money is used everywhere in the house, and one penny can’t wait to be broken into eight petals to spend, so Mother Wang is very sensitive to money. She glanced at Father Wang and said, "Ginseng with four leaves...should be worth a lot of money, right? How much will our family get if we drop it?"

Father Wang said slowly:
"It should be worth a few hundred yuan... But I advise you not to think too much about it. Maybe it's just a matter of eating this meal of meat and vegetables. Maybe the old man won't give money to a few children. Well, at most he will Give some money to Liu Hui's family."

Wang Yuan told his parents most of the things, and they knew that it was Liu Hui who discovered the ginseng.

Father Wang felt that Uncle Man's handwriting was very generous, and 20 catties of pork was worth dozens of dollars, which was very scary.

"Don't give me a penny!? How can I do that?"

"If you can't, what can you do? You can still tear yourself apart and go with him. If a group of people are about the same age and experience, then the money for selling ginseng may be divided equally. Now..."

"Ahem, parents, please don't quarrel about this matter, there is no need, I can make a lot of money selling fish in the city, and I can also sell some money by hunting and hunting, our family will not be so short of money in the future. "

Wang Yuan quickly persuaded: "Our family's life will definitely get better and better."

Ms. Wang felt the same way when she thought about it, and her anger subsided a lot in an instant. The more she looked at her second son, the more satisfied she became, and she began to wonder what kind of daughter-in-law she should find.

In fact, Ms. Wang also knows that it is not good to be too greedy for money, but many things are really difficult to do without money.

The next day.

After Wang Yuan woke up, he found that his mother had already prepared the meal and wrapped his lunch in straw paper.

"Second brother! Can you take me with you to the city?" The little girl happily ran to Wang Yuan's side with the big fat cat in her arms.

"I don't take you, it's a burden."

"Huh~" The little girl was instantly puffed up.

After breakfast, the 8 people gathered and rode to the city, all the way over the mountains and ridges, full of expectations, and the sun was already high when we arrived in the city.

When they came to the state-run store in the city, Uncle Man and the others were very cautious in an instant.

Wang Yuan didn't feel restrained. Standing in front of the large wooden counter and looking around, he felt that the place was too simple, and the gray and white walls were a little peeling.

"Hello comrade, we are here to sell ginseng."

"Oh? Give me the ginseng."

The old man carefully handed the ginseng buns to the other party.
