Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Chapter 26 Betrothal gifts and gifts
"So much? How dare their family ask for so much?" Fang Lan couldn't help exclaiming.

There are many people getting married in the surrounding villages.

Fang Lan had never heard of anyone asking for such a large amount of gifts when marrying a girl.

It's not like he's a wealthy landlord. Who has so much money in his family?

In previous years when there was famine, three taels of silver could buy a girl.

"Yes, this marriage is difficult to discuss."

Mrs. Chen was a little disinterested and a little unwilling.

She had seen the big girl from Zhou's family in the next village. She had to look good, have a big butt and a good pot. She would be fertile at a glance.

Bringing such a girl home will save you a lot of worry.

I just don’t know why I said it well at the beginning, but now I suddenly opened my mouth and added so many colorful gifts.

Who can bear this? This marriage will definitely fall through.

But it's good that the Zhou family did this in advance, which also allowed them to understand the face of the Zhou family and save them from any trouble after marrying home.

If you think about it this way, this girl from the Zhou family is not a good match.

"Mom, I'm back."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.

Ms. Chen quickly turned around and saw her youngest son standing outside the door.

His face was weathered, as if he was a little tanned.
No, I look a little thinner.

"My little pig, you have suffered."

Mrs. Chen quickly put down the bag in her hand, took three steps and two steps at a time, rushed to Fang Yue, and grabbed Fang Yue's shoulders.

Looking left and right, he just had to check Fang Yue's whole body.

"Xie'er, you have eaten. You must be hungry. Mom will cook for you. What do you want to eat today? There are two eggs at home. I cooked them for you."

Then, Mrs. Chen looked like she was in a hurry and was going to cook for Fang Yue.

"Mom, I've eaten."

Fang Yue stopped Chen and then unloaded the package on his body.

"Mom, look what this is? We eat meat tonight."

The baggage was opened, and inside was a large piece of processed tiger meat. Fang Yue had another baggage like this on him.

The weight of the two pieces of tiger meat is almost the same, adding up to more than 200 kilograms.

It's not that Fang Yue and the others didn't want to take more. The total flesh and blood on that young tiger's body weighed two to three thousand kilograms.

If you take them all back, you will definitely be able to eat them for a long time.

But the problem is still there, if the winter is fine, the flesh and blood can be preserved for a while when the temperature is low.

But although it has already entered autumn, the temperature is still not low, and fresh flesh and blood will deteriorate in a day and cannot be stored at all.

The most practical way to preserve meat in this era is to pickle it with salt or dry it into jerky.

That is because I didn’t expect to encounter a young tiger on the way, so I didn’t bring much salt. I only marinated more than 300 kilograms of tiger meat, and there was still more than a thousand kilograms of tiger meat left to be baked and dried. moisture.

Fang Yue brought back more than 200 kilograms, and the other almost a thousand kilograms of tiger meat was naturally brought back by Fang Hu.

"What kind of meat is this? Why is there so much of it? Where did you come from?"

Mrs. Chen was immediately shocked when she saw the cured meat and dried meat exposed in the two packages in Fang Yue's hands.

In her entire life, from childhood to adulthood, she had never eaten so much meat.

Chen, a peasant woman from the countryside, has never seen much of the world and is used to being cautious.

Seeing so much meat in Fang Yue's hands, he immediately panicked.

Zhe'er, must he have robbed the butcher?The chief there, the village elder, wouldn't he send someone to catch my piggy?

At this moment, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but look outside the door and saw several men walking towards here on the road in the distance.

This time, we are really here to catch piggies! ~
"Hey, Zhe'er, run away." Chen pushed Fang Yue and told him to run away.

"Mother, mother, what are you doing here? Why should I run?" Fang Yue was a little dumbfounded. He had just returned home, why were he running?

He didn't break the law, and he didn't have to run.

"Come on, you stole someone's meat and they're here!" Mrs. Chen pushed Fang Yue and said incoherently.

When Fang Yue heard this, he suddenly became a little confused.

Stealing other people's meat?
Where are these things? Is there anyone else who lost meat today? Is there anyone else in this big willow village who kills so much meat at once?

"This meat is tiger meat. Uncle Fang Hu and I met a young tiger on the way back. Uncle Fang Hu gave it to me." Fang Yue explained quickly.

"Fang Hu gave it to you. Then you should tell me earlier. Is it really Fang Hu who gave it to you? Then I'll be relieved."

Mrs. Chen asked again and again, and after getting confirmation, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Then, Mrs. Chen seemed to remember something and said quickly:

"Give me the meat quickly and take it back and put it away. It will be bad if someone sees it."

In rural areas, supplies are scarce and every household is half hungry and half full.

If someone eats a meal of meat, they will be envied by others.And if someone eats meat every day, it will make people jealous.

These people dare not vent their dissatisfaction on the big landlords, but will only vent their emotions on other people.

It's nothing more than not seeing others living better than themselves.

All in all, wealth should not be revealed in vain.

"Ah."

Fang Yue nodded, but instead of handing the meat to Chen, he took it into the kitchen.

These two pieces of meat don't look that big, but they are very heavy.

Just as they were finishing up, a voice came from outside the door.

"Fang Mu's family, is your pig at home?"

"Hey, isn't this Butler Liu? Why are you looking for my pig?" Mrs. Chen heard the voice and asked first.

Butler Liu, this is the steward of Rich Master Liu’s family.

On weekdays, Mr. Liu is very dignified in his home, and he watches those who help him very closely.

I don’t know what you’re doing here today?
And looking at him, he looked kind and cheerful, unlike his usual stern look, as if everyone owed him two taels of silver.

Although Mrs. Chen has seen little of the world, she also knows that there must be something wrong with such a person coming to the door and having such an attitude.

"I heard that your pig entered Fang Hu's house and followed Fang Hu to Xiahe County these days. Is that possible?" Butler Liu said with a smile.

"Well, that's what happened." Mrs. Chen replied.

"That's right, these things are given to your piggy with a little thought from our master."

Butler Liu immediately ordered the servants behind him to carry a few boxes in.

"Ah, Butler Liu, this, this must never be done. I can't accept these things."

Mrs. Chen looked at the boxes of gifts, including silk cloths and pastries, many of which she would never dare to think about.

However, now it is right in front of us.

Didn't his pig follow Fang Hu to Xiahe County? Why did Mr. Liu want to give gifts to his family? ! !

　Can I ask for some recommendation votes? ! !
