The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 80 Hunting
Leng Dong laughed loudly and said: "Okay, this method is good! In this way, it will be much lighter! Hey, why didn't I think of using this method? In the past, we used brute force to kill the prey. The one who carried it down the mountain! Mai Xiang, you are really not simple!"

Although this trailer is simple, it is still not easy to think of doing so.Otherwise, why has no one thought of doing this for thousands of years?

Sure enough, the four of them took a few wild boars back with ease.

All the way down the mountain to go home, I met many villagers who were not farming.

Seeing that they had hunted so many wild boars, everyone was very curious and envious.

Mai Xiang said to Leng Dong: "Uncle, there are so many wild boars, why don't you send a big wild boar and a small wild boar to General Zhao and the others. The rest of the wild boars will be killed today and given to the villagers in Luhuawan Two catties of pork, do you think this is okay?"

When Leng Dong heard this, he was naturally very happy, but felt that Mai Xiang's family was at a loss: "Mai Xiang, you worked so hard to hunt wild boars down the mountain, so it's gone all at once, so don't you feel it's a pity? Today's The weather is getting colder, and wild boar can be used to make bacon or bacon. Well, braised pork is actually better, but unfortunately there is no recipe for braised pork!"

Ban Xia laughed: "Uncle Leng, my eldest sister came up with the stewed meat recipe, and sold it to Haoyunlai restaurant a few years ago. By the way, the shopkeeper of Qinghe Qinghe at that time was the shopkeeper Liang."

Leng Dong couldn't help being overjoyed, and said with a smile, "This is even better. If these wild boars are made into marinated meat, they can be eaten for a long time!"

Mai Xiang waved her hand: "This time, I will distribute it to everyone. Next time I hunt wild boars, I will make braised pork! Well, I can set up a braised pork stall in Luhua Bay, and anyone who wants to eat can buy it." .The braised pork recipe is sold to Haoyunlai, so it’s inconvenient to tell everyone, but I made my own braised pork and sold it, so it’s okay.”

At that time, when selling the recipe, Mai Xiang kept a hand.She made an agreement with Haoyunlai that in the future she can make stewed pork and sell it herself, as long as she doesn't open a restaurant, as long as there is no good luck store in this place, she can make stewed pork for sale.

At present, Haoyunlai has not yet opened to the northwest.

Leng Dong is a foodie. Hearing her words, he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, my fellow villagers and I will have good food in the future!"

There is a lack of material in the northwest. If the heads of households here were not all soldiers, and they could go to the mountains to hunt some prey during the slack season, the children would not be able to eat meat once a month.

Even so, not every household has meat to eat from time to time.Although some people have also been soldiers, they are not good at martial arts, and they don't have enough patience.Therefore, even small rabbits and pheasants are rarely caught.

The few villagers who followed at the side couldn't help but smile and talk a lot after hearing this.

Back in the village, Leng Dong gathered a dozen strong young men and killed all five wild boars.The place where the pigs are slaughtered is in the ancestral hall in the village.The villagers all came to watch the excitement, all the old and young came.

In this barren land in the northwest, it is rare to have a lively event, and no one dares to let it go.The entire Luhua Bay is almost an "empty alley", all gathered in the ancestral hall.

In the ancestral hall, there is a stove, which is specially prepared for weddings and funerals.Whenever there is any happy event or funeral, the whole village will gather in the ancestral hall to help with it.Naturally, the host has to treat the guests to a meal or two.

Each household was allocated two catties of pork.

The two pigs to be given to the army were also killed, and the meat was divided into ten pieces.They were packed in six baskets, and Leng Dong, Pinellia, and Leng Lie picked them up and took them to the barracks.Mai Xiang urgently made more than 300 dumplings, packed them in a super big basket, and followed them to the military camp.

The barracks is not far from Luhua Bay, if you walk, it's only a quarter of an hour away.The military camp is called the Lushan Guardhouse, named after it is adjacent to Lushan Mountain. There are a total of 500 people, five hundred households, one thousand households, and the thousand households are in charge of General Zhao.

Qianhu, as the name suggests, originally had 1000 people.However, the Luhuawan area is still very desolate, with a vast land and few people, and there are no people at all.Because of this, General Fang suggested that people from the Qinghe area be relocated to the Lushan area to settle down.

The entire Lushan area is much larger than Qinghe County, so people from the entire Qinghe County have migrated here, and there are enough fields and forests.

Seeing General Zhao, Leng Dong explained his purpose.

General Zhao was very happy, and stretched out his hand to pat Leng Dong's shoulder: "My good fellow, you actually hunted five wild boars in a fit of anger, you're good at it!"

Leng Dong waved his hand: "You are wrong, I did not hunt those five wild boars, but this little girl hunted them!"

General Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief, obviously disbelieving: "Impossible, are you joking? She's a little girl, and those wild boars wouldn't just stand around and wait for her to hunt. Hunting and killing five wild boars at the same time must be in the blink of an eye, otherwise, either the wild boars will run away, or she will be attacked by wild boars! Old man, can you not brag when you speak? In the past, you didn’t have the habit of bragging, how can you now? It suddenly became like this?"

Between words, I am a little disappointed with Leng Dong.

Leng Dong smiled slightly, and said in a firm tone: "General, let me introduce you, this little girl Liang is the maker of the five-shot crossbow! Now, she has developed a ten-shot crossbow. The five wild boars were hunted down by her with ten rounds of crossbows!"

When Zhao Yan heard this, he was surprised and delighted: "What? This is Miss Liang Moju Liang? Hey, I have known you for a long time. I am really lucky to meet you today! No, how can Miss Liang be so good? Have you come to this desolate place?"

Leng Dong snorted: "Hmph! It's not the fault of that villain Tong Jin. Miss Liang's younger brother, Ban Xia, has passed the examination as a scholar and is the top case. However, Tong Jin actually classifies Miss Liang's family as a soldier. Hu, her family had to move here!"

Speaking of this, he pulled Banxia to Zhao Yan, and introduced: "By the way, this is Miss Liang's younger brother, Banxia, ​​the outstanding master of the case!"

Zhao Yan's eyes sparkled, and his tone was very enthusiastic: "Hey, this is Master Xiucai? It's amazing that such a poor place as Lushan has actually come to Master Xiucai! This is a great happy event. Now, We can open a school in the Lushan area! With the school opened, people in the military camp and people in the village don’t have to worry about reading and writing if they want to read!”

After finishing speaking, he remembered what Leng Dong said just now, and couldn't help yelling: "Tong Jin, this shameless villain, I must write a letter to General Fang and the second prince to sue this shameless villain! I swear I won't be a human if the villain pulls down the position of prefect!"

No matter what quarrel Tong Jin has with the Liang family, he must not use his power to do such shameless things!Moreover, looking at the brothers and sisters of the Liang family, they are all pure girls and boys.It is conceivable how such a person would have a problem with Tong Jin.It must be this sanctimonious guy who is sorry for others!

Mai Xiang smiled lightly and said: "The general doesn't have to be so angry. Tong Jin has people who are in trouble with him, so someone will take care of them! Today, I come with Uncle Leng. Besides delivering dumplings to the general, there is one more thing, Ask the general for help!"

Zhao Yan nodded and said: "Tell me, as long as I can do something, I will never refuse!" The inventor of the five-shot bow and crossbow, he naturally takes care of her as a noble person.

Mai Xiang said: "Then I will not be polite. I just want to enlist in the army instead of my father, and I want to get a position in the firearms shop. Please forgive me. My father is a simple and honest farmer , Let him go to the battlefield, it is tantamount to sending him to death for nothing, it is meaningless at all!

and I?Not only can I make guns, but I can also make armor. In addition, I am born with supernatural powers and have some martial arts foundation.Even on the battlefield, I am much more suitable than my father, so I ask the general to agree to let me join the army instead of my father! "

Zhao Yan thought for a while, and then readily agreed: "Okay, I promise you! I wish for such an outstanding talent like you! However, we have agreed in advance that unless it is absolutely necessary, you should not rush forward. You just stay in the gunstation. Going to the battlefield is a job for men. With your ability, even if you stay in the gunstation, you can still make great achievements. Maybe one day, our Rongguo will produce a female general , a female general with unparalleled military exploits!"

Mai Xiang's mood suddenly became sunny and sunny.

She gave Zhao Yan a military salute very seriously: "Thank you, General, my subordinates will definitely work hard to strive for a technological innovation in our army's weapons!"

Technological innovation?what does it mean?

Zhao Yan and Leng Dong were at a loss when they heard it, and could only roughly guess the meaning, but it should be a good thing anyway.

Zhao Yan: "The matter of enlisting in the army is not so fast yet. The recruitment of new recruits will not start until most of the immigrants from Qinghe County arrive here. You can stay at home for a while, take a good rest, or settle down at home. Anyway, don’t worry, I promise you that I will serve in the army for my father!”

Mai Xiang took out the dumplings wrapped in taro and lotus leaves from the basket, put them on the table, and said to Zhao Yan: "This is the dumpling I made myself. There are many flavors. The general asked me to cook it in a pot. Or , steamed in a steamer, or made into fried dumplings.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan's eyes lit up: "Dumplings? Is it the dumplings for welcoming guests?"

Mai Xiang nodded: "That's right. After a while, Welcome to the Northwest Headquarters will open! At that time, if the general is free, welcome to join us!"

"Really? That's great, where is it going?" Zhao Yan showed great interest.He had already heard about welcoming guests to the dumpling restaurant, but he didn't have the chance to go to the dumpling restaurant to feast his appetite.

Mai Xiang: "The Northwest head office will be opened in Hongye City, but when the immigrants come over, I will also consider opening a dumpling restaurant nearby! At that time, if you want to eat dumplings, it will be much more convenient!"

Zhao Yan couldn't help grinning: "It's near here? Well, then, I can have a real treat!" Then he said embarrassedly: "My cook here may not know how to cook dumplings, if it's convenient for you , can you teach them a little bit?"

Before Mai Xiang could answer, Ban Xia said first: "General, let me go, whether it's boiled dumplings, steamed dumplings or fried dumplings, I can cook, only a little worse than my elder sister's cooking skills."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan smiled and narrowed his eyes: "It's so good, I'm still worried that your eldest sister is a girl, and it's not convenient to teach those big bastards! You can make dumplings, that's the best! Thank you, yes Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiucai!"
