Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 201
After packing up, Zhao Chunming yawned and went back. When he went back, he took away his portion of the roe deer. Zhang Peng also packed up and washed his hands before going to the east room. He wanted to tell Wang Xiufen about the leather. thing.

"Mom, the mountain raccoon skins we just hunted have been sold," Zhang Peng said to Wang Xiufen.

"Well, your Uncle Cui told me just now when he left, but he didn't go into details. I didn't have the nerve to ask in detail how much it cost to sell him." Wang Xiufen also asked.

"I paid 2100 yuan for this mountain raccoon skin," Zhang Peng said.

"Okay, we sold more than before. The price of this leather is really high," Wang Xiufen sighed.

"This skin is not easy to get rid of. I was lucky this time. I encountered an injured person. If this is normal and you can't even see a hair, let alone hit him," Zhang Peng also explained.

"That's true. Other leathers are also easy to get, but it is said that the prices of leathers are generally rising now," Wang Xiufen said.

"Well, so, there are very few opportunities like this. If the price can't go up, it won't be interesting," Zhang Peng also said.

"Son, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and our family is not very short of money now. You see, your second uncle's eldest brother built a new house when he got married. Should we also move in?" Wang Xiufen and Zhang Peng Discussed.

"Mom, I think we should do this for now. We won't get married until next year. There's still time. I'm still thinking about what we can raise for our family next year." Zhang Peng thought for a while and persuaded her.

"Raising things doesn't affect building a house. Our house is indeed a bit small. When you get married, it will be inconvenient to live in it," Wang Xiufen also said.

"Well, I understand, Mom, but you have to think about it, we have a lot of money to build a house. I want to get married and build a house. If there is something in the middle that I need money urgently, if I can't scrape together the money, then what? It's troublesome, just like my second uncle's situation, how can we deal with it?" Zhang Peng said to Wang Xiufen.

Zhang Peng wanted to dispel Wang Xiufen's idea, because he knew very well that his family's current financial situation was not strong, and he had two younger sisters to support. Although he had made a little windfall recently from selling leather, it was not stable. Money is the key, and Zhang Peng is also considering whether to choose another place to build a house.

The area where my home is now is really not big enough, so it is okay to do it on a small scale, but once it is actually bred, it will not be enough. And everyone who breeds knows that the smell of this animal is a bit strong. If it is really bred, The people in the nearby villages will definitely not be happy, and it will be troublesome if there is a stalemate.

So Zhang Peng thought about it and let go. Should he discuss it with the village? It would be best if he could cover a hill. If that didn't work, he would at least choose a place at the foot of the hill and build a house and a breeding area. This is the serious thing.

"Well, that's what you said, so let's take it easy first." Wang Xiufen thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"That's okay, Mom, I'm going to bed." Zhang Peng also yawned when he saw that Wang Xiufen was explained.

"Well, go ahead and get some sleep. I'll call you when the meal is ready at noon." Wang Xiufen said to Zhang Peng who turned around.

"Okay, Mom" ​​Zhang Peng responded with a yawn, and then returned to the kang in the west room. Zhang Peng lay on the kang and fell asleep after a while.

When Cui Weixing came back from Zhang Peng's house, he was sitting on the kang, thinking about when to send the leather to him. He was already very satisfied with the mountain raccoon leather. In fact, after thinking about it after he came back, he found that this leather was just right to give away, and the price was also appropriate. Yes, if the value of the gift is too high, the taste will change, and I will feel relieved, and the trouble will finally be solved.

"Master, how are you?" Ying Meixiu was rubbing the corn grains on the kang, preparing to break them into pieces to make corn porridge.

"Well, it's good. It's settled, a mountain raccoon skin," Cui Weixing replied, sitting on the kang. "Shanli Zipi? Didn't you say you hit a leopard?" Ying Meixiu asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Oh, I'm late. The leather has been taken away long ago. This leather was just brought back last night," Cui Weixing also sighed.

"What the hell? Did you just call last night?" Ying Meixiu said with a surprised look on her face.

"Well, you think this kid is so good. He got it back just as soon as he went up the mountain. He has been doing a lot of work during this time." Cui Weixing also said with admiration.

"Hey, you said you can't make two or three thousand at least during this period?" Ying Meixiu said with envy.

"Two or three thousand? Haha, you are thinking too little. This does not include the people in the village. Plus the people in the village, I estimate it is at least five thousand," Cui Weixing said with a sure look on his face.
"Ah? Can there be so many?" Ying Meixiu said with disbelief.

"Think about it, do you know the price of this mountain raccoon leather?" Cui Weixing asked.
"How many?"

"Just this piece of mountain raccoon leather is only two thousand one," Cui Weixing said.
"What the hell? Why is this leather so expensive? Oh, if we add in the money we will spend in the future, our family will be depleted of all the money we have." Ying Meixiu was also shocked when she heard this. She couldn't let it go. People live.

"Look at what you said, if it's cheap, can we get it? Give this leather to someone, whether he collects it himself or sells it, the price is enough and the weight is enough. Do you think we can go to the city? It's so easy." Cui Weixing took the foil blade, took out the dry tobacco and started to roll it up.

"That's too expensive, more than 2000 yuan. I really can't bear to part with it," Ying Meixiu said with a pained face.

"What is there to be reluctant to do? Isn't it just for making money to spend at this critical moment? Think about it, when we are transferred back to the city, will this still be a thing? Oh, it's all just to go to the city." Cui Weixing rolled his hands Put a good dry cigarette into your mouth, strike a match to light the dry cigarette, take a deep breath, and then say lightly

"Oh, that's true," Ying Meixiu also sighed, and then said.

It was already noon when Zhang Peng woke up in a daze. He slept very deeply, that is, he only slept for a few hours, but he had a good rest. He was woken up by Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan, who had also just slept. I came back, went out to play all morning, and then came back to prepare for dinner.

"Son, wake up, get ready to eat quickly," Wang Xiufen said when she saw Zhang Peng in the outer room and walked out of the west room in a daze.

Zhang Peng nodded, then went to the washbasin in the outhouse, washed his face, and then felt a little more energetic. He went to the dry toilet outside to fill the water, and was shocked by the cold air outside. I just felt like I was alive.

Zhang Peng went back to wash his hands, then put the table on the kang, and then picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table. Then he went to the edge of the pot and brought the rice and vegetables that Wang Xiufen had served to the table.

At noon, Wang Xiufen cooked roe deer meat and stewed radish. The radish was stored in the cellar in the autumn. Because it was well preserved, it still tastes very crisp and fresh. The flavor of the radish can cover up the roe deer meat itself. The peculiar smell is also a common way to cook roe deer meat.

Zhang Peng gnawed on a large radish left over from cooking, then sat on the kang and waited for Wang Xiufen to finish her work. After Wang Xiufen got on the kang, he started to have lunch.
