Chapter 110 Deer Pen Wine Recipe and Departure Home

inside the house.

Xu Ning was sitting cross-legged on the kang. Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu were leaning on the edge of the kang, turning around and looking at Xu Ning eagerly counting the money.

Looking at a stack of banknotes that were about a pound thick, the two of them were not in a hurry, their pupils were shining brightly, and they felt happy watching Xu Ning check the money.

Xu Ning drew five Unity cards and ten Steelmaking cards, and placed 100 yuan by his leg.

Then he counted 400 yuan and placed them in front of Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu. He had 800 yuan left, plus the 100 on his leg. Xu Ning earned 900 yuan on this trip!

"Brother, did I take it?" Li Fuqiang looked up at him.

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Take it. Why don't you dare to take your own money?"

"Hey! It's the first time I've ever made this much money. It makes me tremble and my heart is pounding!"

Li Fuqiang clapped his hands, held up the 400 yuan on the kang mat with both hands, and kissed the banknotes twice.

Wang Hu was so excited that he grabbed a pile of banknotes and felt his head was in a daze and his heart was beating fast.

"Second brother, I look like I'm dreaming."

Xu Ning grinned: "Go to hell! Are you fascinated by this little money?"

Wang Hu jumped to the ground, turned around and said, "This is the first time I'm making money. How have I seen such old money before? This time I'm earning half a year's salary from my dad. My mom won't be able to support me when I get home?" "

"Haha... I have no future, so this is more. There will be many opportunities to make money in the future. We have to make our family rich, you know?"

Wang Hu and Li Fuqiang both nodded heavily.

"Second brother, why don't you hold it for me first? My hands are full of sweat and my heart is pounding."

"Gah? Are you afraid of losing it?"

"That's not true. I can't describe it. I'm obviously very happy, but I always feel like I'm having trouble."

Li Fuqiang patted him on the shoulder and said: "Huzi, you haven't seen such old money before, have you? I haven't seen it either, but didn't my brother lead us to earn it this time?"

Wang Hu nodded and said: "I've never seen it before. Just this big unity. I've only seen it twice since I was so old. Once when Liu Guangmin was buying goods, I took a look. Then there was my dad and my uncle. Go to the street to sell mountain goods and take a look when you come back."

Wang Hu has not been out of Qing'an in 19 years, so his experience is naturally limited and not broad enough. This mentality is really normal.

Besides, his personality is like this, he is more studious and hard-working.

Now he is holding 10 large solidarity sheets in his hand, as well as a stack of banknotes including yuan for steelmaking, yuan for lathe work, etc. How can he not feel angry?

Xu Ning looked at Wang Hu and said, "This is what I earned over the course of more than half a month of life and death. Just think about how many things we have experienced and how many dangers we have encountered in these half a month."

"Then what are you talking about? In the past half a month or so, we have encountered tigers hunting bears and hunting wolves. My brother was almost attacked by a tiger cub. What a danger!"

Wang Hu thought about it carefully and nodded: "Second brother, let me digest it. How about I hold it and sleep with it tonight?"

"Haha, okay, you can hug me and ride with me if you want. It's your money anyway."

Li Fuqiang said with a smile: "I'll put it under my pillow tonight, just to be sure!"

Wang Hu said stupidly, "Hey, now I can't help but feel happy when I think about my parents' reaction when I take out the money after we get home."

"Oh my God, how can I react? Why do you laugh so hard that your cheeks hurt? Haha! I can imagine the expression on your sister-in-law's face. She had to give me a basin of water to wash my feet that night, and she had to give it to me herself. Serving tea and pouring water... Oh my god! Isn't this restoring glory again?"

Li Fuqiang clapped his thigh excitedly.

Husbands and wives these days help each other. The man goes out to earn money and comes home after a tiring day. The woman stays at home to light the fire, cook, and take care of the housework. When the man comes back, she will fetch a basin of water to wash her face and rub her hands, and then give her some water in the evening. Make some tea, pour some foot wash, etc. This is normal.

Almost every household came here like this, and no one ever complained. Instead, they enjoyed it, and their relationship became deeper and deeper.

In the past, when Li Fuqiang drank heavily, Yang Shuhua also gave him water to wash his face, but not his feet. This has been nearly two years.

Now that Li Fuqiang has given up drinking and his relationship with Yang Shuhua has eased, he remembers the scene before the two got married. Although he was a little tired, it was really happy!

Now he is following his brother to step back from the brink, and he is also looking forward to making his future life better and more prosperous!

Xu Ning moved to the edge of the kang, put his feet into the shoe shells, and said, "Hurry up and put the money away. Do cotton-padded jackets have inner pockets?"

"Have!"

Although the banknotes are quite thick, they cannot be seen from the outside after being put into the inner pocket of a cotton-padded jacket.

"Huzi, go back and give the money to your mother secretly. Don't take it out in front of your father, do you understand?"

Wang Hu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally understood.

Wang Erli is the backbone of Lao Wang's family, and he will be there for the next 20 years.

Wang Hu earned him half a year's salary in one visit. Although he was very happy to be a father, which meant that his son was able to stand upright when he grew up, but after thinking about it suddenly, he felt a little unhappy.

First, it means that he, the father, is getting old, and second, his son is capable of starting a family and must prepare to get married.

It's not that Wang Erli is jealous of his child. There shouldn't be any jealousy in this game. It's just that he feels so empty in his heart that he can't tell what it feels like.

Don’t they all say that you look after the father in the first thirty years, and look after the son in the next thirty years?

"Yeah! Second brother, why don't we just pay when we get home? At that time, my father and my uncle were both working at the forestry farm."

Xu Ning grinned: "You can secretly give it to me, but I won't give it to you."

"Huh? Why."

"Haha, I have to wait for my father to come back, and then hand over the money to my mother in front of him."

Hearing this, Li Fuqiang grinned and said, "Oh my God! Brother, you are really at a loss."

"That must be the case!"

……

It's dark outside and it's past six o'clock.

Lao Chai's family has just prepared to prepare the meal. As for why they are preparing the meal at this time, we have to start with the venison.

The venison must be pulled out with cold water. After it is thoroughly pulled out, it can be blanched in water and then blanched in a large pot.

It was already past three o'clock when Xu Ning and the four came back. After a while of fussing, it was almost four o'clock. If ordinary people could simply order a big pot of food, they would just make do.

However, Chai Liangyu made a speech and said that if you have a good meal, you won't be afraid of being late. You must eat venison in the evening, and drink fresh deer blood wine. Wouldn't the more you drink, the better?

That's why it was only at this time that the children had already eaten some biscuits and pastries, but the adults were all waiting for this meal.

After everyone was seated, they just chatted for a few words and then hurriedly grabbed their chopsticks to eat the venison. Xu Ning and the four of them only had a few bites, but it had been a long time, and the little food in their stomachs had long been digested.

He picked up a piece of deer steak and chewed it in his mouth, feeling soft and chewy. The more he ate, the more addicted he became. His appetite was so great that he made three bowls of rice in a row!

Chai Liangyu and the three brothers of the Chai family were all drinking deer blood wine, tasting it with mouths slurping, and making comments from time to time.

"Energy!"

"Good luck!"

By the end of the meal, everyone was so drunk that their faces were red, their eyes were shining, and they seemed to have endless energy in their bodies. They were so energetic!

The elder sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law and Chai Hongyan went down to pick up the dishes and chopsticks and clean up the leftovers.

Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang, and Wang Hu sat on the edge of the kang, Chai Liangyu sat next to the pillar, and the three brothers of the Chai family sat on stools.

At this time, Chai Shao looked at Xu Ning and asked, "Brother, do you know how to fix the deer whip?"

Xu Ning said: "It has to be dried first and then soaked in wine. There is no odor. If you use fresh deer whip to soak in wine, there will be an odor that is difficult to remove."

"Then how to dry it?"

"If it's for takeout, and it looks good, it has to be made into a gun bow and dried in the shade. This can prevent the deer whip from shrinking. But we use it for our own home, so we can just hang it on the roof of the roof to dry it in the shade. It won't take long to use if it shrinks, and it can be soaked in wine. In the vat.”

"Ah, so simple?"

"It's not just that simple. I'll straighten the deer's whip later, and then you hang it up for two months."

Chai Shao covered his mouth, walked up to Xu Ning, and said, "I just want to ask what it is used for, and what it is mixed with to make wine together to make it more powerful!"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Two! One is made into pills and eaten, and the other is soaked in wine. Which one do you want?"

"Making wine, where are my three brothers... They are too embarrassed to say anything."

"Haha, that's alright. Find a pen and paper, and I'll write it down. Then you can use this recipe to make wine."

"Got it!"

Watching Chai Shao looking for pen and paper, Chai Liangyu made a disdainful sound in his mouth. This was his son, otherwise he would have to scold him for a while and then finish his sentence.

When Chai Shao came back and handed the pen and paper to Xu Ning, Chai Bing, Chai Feng and Li Fuqiang also gathered around.

Xu Ning took up the pen and wrote on the paper: Deer whip, donkey whip, dog whip, ginseng, deer antlers, seahorse, giant clam, cinnamon, agarwood, astilbe... and 39 other medicinal materials with good taste.

"This is called Sanbian wine. Sanbian is dried in the shade and used. The remaining 36 herbs can be bought at the drugstore. Then soak it for a month and drink two small cups every day. It will take effect for half a month."

Chai Bing clapped his hands and said, "Oh shit, this medicine is so powerful!"

Chai Feng scolded him twice, "Please be quiet."

Chai Shao calmly put away the prescription, coughed twice, and said to Chai Feng: "When you go to the street to buy some, you go to the pharmacy and take a look. If you are missing something, call me and I will contact the pharmaceutical factory."

"OK!"

This is about whether the three brothers can regain their glory, so all three of them are very interested.

Xu Ning warned: "Don't exert too much force, otherwise you will easily get angry."

"Eh…"

The three brothers looked at each other and grinned.

That night, Xu Ning, Chai Liangyu and others chatted until after nine o'clock before going back to the house to sleep.

Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu had already packed their belongings and put the money under their pillows before falling asleep.

At night, Xu Ning vaguely heard Wang Hu giggle and talk in his sleep: Hey, I'm just hunting two deer...

At half past six in the morning, Xu Ning got up to feed the dogs. He was afraid that the dogs would eat late and vomit in the car. Not only would people suffer, but the dogs would also suffer.

So Xu Ning thought about feeding them early, so that when it was time to leave around eight o'clock, they would be almost digested.

The meal in the morning was quite rich. In addition to some leftover venison from last night, the third sister-in-law also steamed two pots of chicken cakes with bear fat and mixed them with rice to eat them deliciously.

After a short break after the meal, Xu Ning, Chai Bing, Wang Hu, Chai Shao, Chai Feng, and Li Fuqiang moved things into the carriage.

There are half a deer, four wolves, a tiger cub, two bear paws, corrugated caps, deer skins, bear skins, wolf skins...

Chai Feng brought two soda drinks, a box of rice cakes, and five boxes of ginseng wine from the small store. These things are not cheap.

But Xu Ning did not refuse. After all, he also left two bear paws, two wolves, and a deer whip for the Chai family.

This is how human relationships work. You come and go, and you have to go back and forth before you can establish a friendship.

After Xu Ning, Wang Hu, and Li Fuqiang led the dog gang to the car, Chai Liangyu led a large family to see them off at the gate of the courtyard.

"Er Ning, come over for a walk when you have time. Next year we will hunt livestock in Wangxing, so you have to come over."

"Well, don't worry, uncle. I'll come over and play when I have time. Don't bother me then."

"Haha... I'm quite curious about you. You're a bit of a fool, but you're really capable. Stay on the road with your third brother, wait a minute, and give me a call when you get home!"

"Hey! Master, please go back quickly. It's quite cold outside."

Chai Shao said: "Call me often when you have time, we are like brothers!"

"Yeah, if anything happens, you can call me too, brother, don't bother me!"

"to make!"

Immediately, Xu Ning, Wang Hu and Li Fuqiang got into the car. Chai Bing honked the horn, stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

Outside Chai's house, Chai Liangyu and others watched the car leave. They did not turn back to the house until the car disappeared.
