Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 393 Only those who do not owe credit or owe have credibility

Liu Ya, who Aunt Li said, also understands that the animals on this mountain are not kept in pens, and you won't be able to catch them whenever you go. It depends on luck and the skill of the hunter.

Liu Ya said: "I understand this. How about, Aunt Li, can you help me collect prey a few times to try first? I want all the things from the hunters in your Lijiatun. One time a day is enough. If the supply is really short of demand, I will think of other ways. If you think it is okay, I will leave you a deposit first, and send it over when you receive it. I will give you cash, absolutely No credit. If those hunters still don’t believe it, I can let them follow the prey for the first time, and I will pay them face to face. However, I can’t pay more travel expenses, or I will be sorry if they come from family to family in the future. "

Aunt Li thought about it again.In fact, Liu Ya's conditions were already very good, let alone promised to give her travel expenses.So he nodded and said: "Then it's settled. There are three families in our village who often go hunting in the mountains, and the other two are old hunters. Although they are good at craftsmanship, they are old after all. , can’t run in the mountains all the year round. What I can guarantee is that the prey of these three families will be sold to you, and the other two families are what they say.”

Liu Ya knew that not everyone would be willing to sell things to her.What's more, the old Orion may still have a strange temper. Aunt Li probably didn't have a deep relationship with them, so she nodded and said, "That's enough, three households are enough for the time being. I'm just trying to sell."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya said again: "However, I have to tell those who go hunting in the mountains to pay attention to safety no matter what. I only collect these prey to make a little money, and I don't want these things to bear blood debts. I feel very sorry. "

Aunt Li laughed when she heard that, and said, "You little girl has a good heart. It's not like some restaurants, drugstores, and leather goods stores want tiger bones one day and pangolins the next, and some want wolf skins and bear skins." Skin, leopard skin, whatever is expensive, no matter if you can hunt it or not."

Liu Ya shook her head and said, "I don't want those things. I cook some delicacies from the mountains and wild game to entertain guests. I just need pheasants, hares, robes, and wild boars."

"Okay, I'll remember. If it's really something expensive, we won't accept it, and we won't send it to you." Aunt Li said that she had agreed a deal with Liu Ya, and she was quite happy in her heart.Then he asked Liu Yadao: "I still have some stock in my house, do you want it? Wild pork, marinated, is a large piece of good meat, dried in the air."

Liu Ya wondered if there was a shortage of meat, so she asked, "How many catties? How much do you plan to sell?"

Aunt Li said: "After it's dried, there are still more than ten catties. It's not weighed, so let's count it as ten catties. But it's already dried meat, it's not cheap, at least twenty yuan per catty."

Liu Ya did some calculations, the pork in the market costs thirteen cents a catty.This wild pork is regarded as wild game, so it must be more expensive. It can be sold for sixteen or seventy yuan a catty.What's more, all the wild boar meat in Aunt Li's house has been air-dried, and twenty cents a catty is really not expensive.

Liu Ya said, "Okay, then I want it all, please bring it to Aunt Li, I'll give you the money now."

Aunt Li happily agreed, and went to the kitchen to get the jerky.I took three big pieces out, and they dried well and turned brown.Moreover, if the preservation is not good, the meat may deteriorate a little during the air-drying process, or may grow white hairs, but these few pieces of meat are not there, and they look very clean.

Liu Ya took one piece and weighed it. This piece of jerky must have weighed more than three catties, and the three big pieces of jerky were indeed no less than ten catties.

Liu Ya said: "It's better to give the silver. One silver coin is 120 cash, I will give you two silver coins directly, the two hundred cash is the money for the jerky, and the extra forty cash is the deposit for booking the prey with you .Although it’s not much, it’s a guarantee.”

Aunt Li put the three pieces of jerky into a cloth bag, happily took the money, and handed the cloth bag to Liu Yashi, saying: "Little girl, you are so refreshing."

Liu Yadao: "In the future, we will come and go frequently, and only those who don't owe credit or debt can have a good reputation. Aunt Li, you want to help me check, and don't accept things that are too bad. I am very grateful to you."

Aunt Li said: "I know, I know, don't worry. I'm also a real person, and I won't harm others against my conscience."

"Okay, it's settled. I'll wait for you, Aunt Li, to deliver the goods. It's getting late, and I have to go back early." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she carried her cloth bag and went out.First put the bag on the shackle of the saddle and fasten it, and then turn over and get on the horse.

Aunt Li looked at the sky and called her again: "Little girl, wait a minute, I'll get you a lantern. It's getting late, and it's not convenient for you to ride a horse on the mountain road, so I'd better carry a lantern." better."

Liu Ya looked at the sun that had started to set behind the mountain, so she didn't refuse.

Aunt Li came out quickly, handed a small white paper lantern to Liu Ya, and said, "There are only a small piece of candles at home, don't light them too early, I'm afraid they will burn out before you get home. "

Liu Ya took a look, and the candle inside was really not big, only about an inch long, so it really wouldn't last long.But she also knows that poor people are not willing to use candle stubs.Just like the Liu family at the beginning, there was only one small oil lamp, and they ate before dark, so try not to light the lamp for too long at night.

After receiving the little lantern, Liu Ya thanked her sincerely, and then rode back on the horse.

There is still some afterglow when the sun sets from the top of the mountain, so the mountain road is not completely dark.Taking advantage of this time, Liu Ya urged the horse to go as fast as possible, until it was completely dark before Liu Ya lit the small lantern.

At this time, the moon has not fully risen, and there are many trees on the mountain, and it is almost completely dark under the shade. Such a small lantern is really useful.When the small candles in the lantern were burned out, Liu Ya could already see the light coming from the windows of every house in Pingshan Village ahead.

Finally, the candle burned out, and finally burned to the paper, almost burning the lantern.Liu Ya hurriedly blew out the lantern and threw it away, jumped off the horse at the same time, and led the horse back.

Although Liu Ya's riding skills are good, it's not wise to ride a horse in such dark conditions.What's more, she will be home not far ahead, so she has no reason to take the risk of losing time, and she will still suffer the same if she has an accident.

That is to say, after walking for a meal, I entered the village.Then Liu Ya quickened her pace and walked home.

It's just that she didn't expect that as soon as she pulled the horse into the yard, she saw Chen Wuniu walking out of the house with a disgruntled face, as if she had eaten feces.
