Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 47 Gifts
"Uncle Niu, why don't you sell it to me?"

"What did you say? Sell it to you? This big bug weighs a few hundred pounds, what are you buying it for!" Before the old man Niu could speak, Luo Shiyuan jumped up from the ground, pointed at Liu Qingcao and said.

Liu Qingcao was speechless.

"Why do you care so much, I have my own way." Liu Qingcao replied, turned around and looked at the old man Niu with a smiling face and asked again.

"Uncle Niu, how much do you plan to sell?"

"150 taels."

"..." It's not far from the price she estimated. This person is really good, and he doesn't even give a friendly price.

"Uncle Niu, why do we know each other so well?"

"140 taels."

"..."

"Liu Qingcao, it's okay, it's okay, acquaintances can't make such a low price, do you know that in the capital, this big bug will cost more than ten times."

Liu Qingcao wanted to grind again, but Luo Shiyuan couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted her when he walked up, and she choked back angrily.

"You also know that it's the capital city. When you get there, the big bugs will give birth to small bugs, and you're still selling it!"

"You! Hmph, 140 taels, if you want to buy it, you can buy it, and if you don't buy it, you will lose it."

"..."

Liu Qingcao was out of breath, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and didn't want to tell him more, if she had so much money, why would she still bargain with the two of them, doesn't she know that this tiger is worth a lot, really!
The three of them watched the sky quietly in the yard in the middle of the night, not talking to each other. Liu Qingcao couldn't afford that much money, but he didn't give up, and kept trying to find a way to buy it at a low price.

After a while, old man Niu's magnetic voice came, and Liu Qingcao looked like him with his head tilted.

"Send it to you."

?

?

"Uncle Niu, why did you call us so hard and risk your life, so you just give it away?"

"Well, for half a year's food expenses, the other half is up to you to deal with."

"……"deliver?Isn't this still sold to her!
Oh, no, Old Man Niu's is indeed a gift, after all, he is a person who pays for his work.

"Then I'll pay half a year's food expenses!" Luo Shiyuan listened to the old man Niu's words, without any hesitation, and firmly followed the old man Niu's suggestion.

"Ahaha, since that's the case, then I'm not going to be polite." Liu Qingcao was hit by the sudden surprise and danced happily.

It's great, you can get a whole tiger at a low cost without spending any money, and you don't have to owe a debt.

Once the tiger is in hand, the next step is to peel the skin, divide the meat and debone it. In summer, the outdoor temperature is higher than in winter. If the tiger meat is left untreated, it will deteriorate after one night.

Seeing that both of them had rested, Liu Qingcao took out two knives from the kitchen, one for Old Man Niu and the other for Luo Shiyuan.

"Uncle Niu, let's deal with it, or it will stink after a long time."

"Yes." The old man Niu looked at the knife in his hand and nodded slightly.

Liu Qingcao saw that it was difficult to see clearly under the moonlight, so she turned around and found an oil lamp, and walked to the tiger with support. When the light came on, the dead tiger on the ground looked particularly tragic.

The blood stained the entire forelimb below the neck, and the yellow and black stripes turned into black and red. The stench of blood came to the nostrils. When I didn't see it clearly, I didn't feel anything. Now I can see it clearly, but it's a bit frightening.

"Clean up first, I'll get the pot, Uncle Niu, don't break the skin, I'll keep it for use."

"it is good."

The old man put the knife on his waist, untied the rope on the stick, lifted the tiger's feet, and hung it on the beam of the shed.

"Shiyuan comes to hold the lamp."

The old man Niu brought Luo Shiyuan over with the oil lamp. As soon as the oil lamp came, the old man Niu's vision brightened.

With the light on, he took a sharp knife and began to skin the big worm.

One knife at a time accurately cut across the fascia between the tiger's skin and the tiger's meat, and soon, he peeled off a large piece of tiger's skin.

Liu Qingcao stood aside and watched. This tiger skin probably weighs forty to fifty catties, and I don't know if it is expensive to take it to the town for tanning...

Luo Shiyuan watched the tiger's skin being peeled off, revealing a strong fleshy body, smashed his mouth, he hadn't eaten the meat of the tiger yet, and didn't know what it tasted like, he turned his head, looked at Liu Qingcao, and thought I think this girl will not be so stingy that she won't give him any food!
He wasn't sure about the answer. After all, the big bug was given to her, and it was a bit of a loss to take it out for them to eat.

Liu Qingcao didn't know what was going on in Luo Shiyuan's mind, she looked at the old man Niu with great interest, and took out a tiger fiercely.

Two-inch-wide strips of tiger meat were placed one upon another in a large basin, and the four large basins were filled to the brim, even protruding.

Looking at the tiger on the bolt beam again, there is only a round head and a skeleton without any flesh left.

"How do you use this big bug's head?" After the old man shaved off all the meat, he pointed to its head and asked the willow grass.

Liu Qingcao thought about it for a while, and felt that although the tiger's head was more appropriate, it was still a good product and should not be wasted.

Uncle Niu, knock out its teeth, shave off the meat on it, don’t use the eyes, but keep the bones. How about we eat tiger head meat tonight.

A tiger's head accounts for a quarter of the weight of the whole body, no matter how little the meat is, it is enough for the three of them to eat a big meal, and there may be some leftover.

According to Liu Qingcao's wishes, the old man pulled out the teeth and knocked them off, and shaved off the meat on the tiger's head. Liu Qingcao took the tiger's teeth with a small bowl, and soaked them in lime water to remove the stains and clean them. Huya, when the time comes, she will make them into decorations and sell them at a high price.

Tiger bone is very important, especially its medicinal value, which is comparable to ginseng. After breakfast, she asked the old man Niu to go home to rest and go to town by herself.

When the tiger was finished, the sky was already dark, Luo Shiyuan nodded sleepily, when Liu Qingcao looked at it, it was already late, she went to the kitchen and made three simple bowls of egg noodles, and had a quick breakfast , so that each of them is busy with their own affairs.

Before the old man Niu left, she asked him to help move all the tiger meat and bones to the door of the woodshed. The old man Niu didn't ask much, put them at the door of the woodshed, then turned around and took Luo Shiyuan back to catch up on sleep.

Liu Qingcao laboriously stacked pots of tiger meat into the firewood shed, treated the disease with saltpeter, and chilled them.

Suddenly, more than half of the ice cubes filled the firewood room, and the temperature dropped to three or four degrees in an instant. She was standing inside wearing summer single clothes, shivering from the cold.

"Hey, it's so cold!" Liu Qingcao rubbed her arms, rushed out quickly, and locked the door of the firewood room.

In the yard, Liu Qingcao was using lime to clean up the blood stains left by the tiger. After cleaning up, the sky would be bright, and if he didn't leave, Hui Bailou might be in a hurry.

Liu Qingcao quickly loaded all the things into the bullock cart, passed by the door of the village chief's house, and told them to bring the firewood in the afternoon.

Hurrying all the way, finally arrived at the town, today there are a lot of things, Liu Qingcao rented a cart and went to Huibailou.

As Liu Qingcao expected, at the gate of Huibailou, Ge Hongshan was already waiting anxiously.

"Qingcao, what's the matter today? Did something happen to you?" Ge Hongshan heard Lin Er said that there was no delivery at this point in the morning, and thought it was just a little late, so he didn't worry about it, but half an hour passed, and there was still nothing. Seeing someone coming, he was in a hurry now, he thought something happened to Liu Qingcao.

If Liu Qingcao didn't show up again, he would have to take a carriage to Shihe Village to have a look. Fortunately, this girl showed up in time, and his heart was finally settled, so he hurried forward to inquire about the situation.

Liu Qingcao was relieved, and after unloading the stewed meat, stewed vegetables and cold tofu on the cart to Lin Er, she looked at Ge Hongshan with a smile.

"Uncle Gerrard, I've been delayed by something in my room, and you're worried."

After Liu Qingcao finished speaking, she approached Ge Hongshan and said in a mysterious voice:
"By the way, Uncle Gerrard, I brought a pair of big bugs into the water, do you think you want to take them?"

Liu Qingcao lifted the straw on the cart, and on it was a pair of tigers that had not been processed. She originally wanted to keep it for herself, but with such a big tiger in the water, she was afraid that she would get nosebleeds after eating too much, so in the end she only kept Tiger Heart and Tiger Whip, everything else is brought...

She thought, it's better to sell this thing, not only can get money, but also save it from taking care of it, and it can also be used as a favor.

Ge Hongshan watched the big bug in the cart go into the water, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, he now understands why this girl came so late, emotionally, she got a big bug to waste time!

Liu Qingcao looked at Ge Hongshan with a smile, she didn't believe that he would be indifferent to the tiger going into the water, a smart person has his own uniqueness.

"How's it going, Mr. Gerber?"

"Ah, okay, I'll take it. If you have any tiger meat, bring me some too. It's a good thing." Ge Hongshan half-covered his mouth with his hands, and asked Liu Qingcao quietly.

Liu Qingcao raised her eyebrows, opened a corner of the corn grass, and placed two pieces of tiger meat on it, weighing about four catties.

"Uncle Gerrard, I brought you two. Don't eat too much of this meat, it's easy to get angry."

"I know, I know, Qingcao, this meat is not easy to come by, so I have to give you money."

Ge Hongshan is a sensible person, he knows that this big bug is not easy to come by, and the price is not low, as a grown man, he doesn't want to take advantage of a girl.

Liu Qingcao shook her head in disapproval.

"Gerber, I brought this specially for you, so you can just keep it, and you just need to take care of me in the future."

Seeing that Ge Hongshan couldn't refuse, he had no choice but to keep it, thinking about saying a few nice words to his boss in the future, and asking him to help and take care of him when he has something to do.

Liu Qingcao didn't stay in Huibailou for a long time. Ge Hongshan gave her a high price of ten taels of silver, and Liu Qingcao went straight to Jinxiu Cloth Village after taking the silver.

"Shen Xiuniang, is sister Guo there?"

Seeing that Xiuniang Shen was sitting in the store, Liu Qingcao thought that Mrs. Guo was busy.

Seeing that it was Liu Qingcao who came, Shen Xiuniang smiled even more.

"Miss Qingcao, my boss is in the backyard, I'll take you there."

Shen Xiuniang put down the buddy in her hand, got up quickly and took him to the backyard.

Guo Yuxiu is sorting out the patterns that Liu Qingcao gave her in the house at the moment, each one is unique and novel, and she is reluctant to sell each one.

As soon as Liu Qingcao came in, she saw that she was looking at all kinds of cloth dolls on the table, looking like a reluctant little girl, and immediately burst out laughing.

Guo Yuxiu raised her head when she heard the sound, and when she saw the person standing at the door, she was a little embarrassed for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Sister Qingcao is here, come in and sit down quickly, why don't you make a sound, let my sister and I get ready."

"Just arrived, Sister Guo, don't be reluctant to part with these things, they are a lot of money.

It is better to be happy alone than to be happy together. When I go out in the future, I will see women on the street wearing Jinxiuzhuang jewelry. That is something to be proud of. "

"Thinking like this is because my sister is narrow-minded."

Liu Qingcao shook her head and continued talking to her.

"Sister Guo, look, I brought some new tricks over."

Liu Qingcao took off the bundle on her back, and gently opened it, and groups of snow-white plush appeared in front of Guo Yuxiu.

"Wow, this can be used as a headgear." Guo Yuxiu picked up a round one, put it in the palm of her hand, and started to play with it. The fluffy one is soft and comfortable to the touch, and it can bounce back when pinched.

"It can be used as a headgear, but this rabbit skin is not cheap, and there are not many snow-white ones. If the cost is high, the selling price will increase. Sister Guo, you can do it as you see fit."

"Well, I know this. You see, these on my table, together with the ones you brought, will definitely become famous in one shot. In the future, the embroiderers will be able to make the first batch. My next one In the days to come, I would bring my things to the wives’ homes and let them all have a look.”

"Then sister Guo should pay attention to rest, don't tire yourself out, I brought you two pieces of big worm meat, you let the cook get them to eat, it's good for your health."

Liu Qingcao took out the tiger meat from the basket, and Xiao Ling who was beside him hurriedly stepped forward to take it, looking at it curiously.

"Xiaoling, this is a good thing. Take it to the kitchen and let the cook cook it. The weather is so hot, so don't let it go bad." Guo Yuxiu ordered Xiaoling to take down the big worm meat, and it would be better for her to eat it alone It’s a pity if you can’t finish eating it in this weather, it’s too bad. After making this meat, everyone eats it together and works harder.

"Sister Qingcao, this big worm meat is precious, I will remember this love sister."

"It's nothing, by the way, I brought you some snacks, do you want to try it?"

Liu Qingcao pawed, took out the cake and bread from the basket, and placed it in front of Guo Yuxiu.

Golden yellow and soft, the egg is fragrant...

Guo Yuxiu picked up a piece and took a small bite. It was fluffy and soft with a slight sweet taste, much better than the dim sum shops in Beijing.

"Where did you buy this snack?" Guo Yuxiu was curious. She had brought it here for many years, but she had never seen it before. Could it be that her younger sister made it up by herself?

"I figured this out by myself. If Sister Guo likes it, I'll bring some when I make it next time."

Liu Qingcao saw that she was eating deliciously, with a bit of cake crumbs on the corner of her mouth, smiled, and handed her the handkerchief.

Guo Yuxiu blushed, thinking to herself that she lost all her old face today.

"My sister doesn't take advantage of you. If you do it later, bring some. I'll pay you, but you don't want it. I want to eat for a long time. If I don't give you money, I feel sorry for it, but I dare not accept it."

"That's okay, Sister Guo is busy first, I have to go shopping, and I will come to you in a few days."

Guo Yuxiu stood up, sent Liu Qingcao out of the shop, and went back to the backyard. Looking at the things on the table, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

　Wan Duzi, friends, do you feel that my writing is a bit long-winded, I feel a little murmur...
