Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 47 Mid-Autumn Festival
The days are so busy that they seem to go by very fast. Dalang and the others keep getting things home, and Yuxian tries her best to make storage.And the thing that made Yuxian most happy was that she dug up two ginseng trees, hahaha, those are two big ginseng trees.That day Yuxian followed her elder brother up the mountain to pick the red ginseng. Unexpectedly, she saw two ginseng trees in the grass, with red ginseng seeds on top of them!Yuxian was so excited that she managed to dig out the ginseng, and it was not too small. The big one seemed to sink two or two, and the small one also had one or two halves.Yuxian warned her brothers that no one should say that these two ginseng trees can be sold for a lot of money, and it is conservatively estimated that they will cost 300 taels of silver.This is a huge fortune, but she doesn't plan to sell it now.There is no airtight wall, if you sell it now, the money will definitely go into Qin's pocket.Yuxian decided to put the two ginseng trees away first, and then sell them after they were separated, so she secretly dried the ginseng.Fortunately, she made some weird things every day, and the Tong family was used to it, so no one noticed.Yuxian put the ginseng in a box and hid it secretly, even Fang didn't know.

The sky is getting colder, Bailu is only a few days away, and the crops in the field are beginning to be harvested. This is the hardest and happiest time of the year for farmers.The Tong family has started the autumn harvest. Except for Qin's Junqi and the cooks, everyone in the family has to work in the fields, and Yuxian is no exception.At the beginning, the soybeans were harvested first, because the pods of the soybeans were almost dry, and if the pods were not harvested, the grain would be lost once the pods exploded.The adults are cutting the soybean stalks in front with a sickle. This cutting of the bean stalks is not actually cutting the bean stalks with a sickle. When the stalks are pushed in the opposite direction, the bean stalks are already very dry, so they will break immediately.The children gathered the cut bean stalks together behind, and Mr. Tong took wicker to tie up the gathered bean stalks, which was convenient for transporting home.Then the children carried the bales of bean straw to the ox cart. The children couldn't do the loading, it was a technical job, and the top of the cart would be crooked.There are some small hairs growing on the soybean stalks, which makes her body itchy, so Yuyan babbled and refused to do it. Mr. Tong glared at her, "If you don't want to do it, don't eat. You see Yuxian is so small. You can do it, what's wrong with you? You are older than her." Yu Yan was too scared to speak.

At noon, Tong Yunsong loaded the bundles of bean straw into the car, and the family followed the car and walked home.After arriving home, put the bundle of bean straw on the open space on the left side of the yard. Every household in Yanjiang Village has such an open space outside the yard, which is used for autumn harvest.In the open space near the courtyard wall, some wooden shelves are also used to collect corn.The adults took down the bundles of bean straw and piled them up one after another, and then went into the yard to rest and eat.

During the autumn harvest, the food at home is the best. Today is Fang’s cooking. Pork stir-fry late beans, meat stir-fry peppers, and meat stir-fry eggplant. Almost every dish contains meat, which is for the working people to eat. Work vigorously, so as not to be exhausted. After working all morning, everyone is hungry, and they gobble up their meals at the table.Yuxian went to wash her hands and her neck first. Bean hair got into her neck and it was a little itchy. When she came back, everyone had already started eating. They found a place to sit down and ate quickly. slices of meat.When Qin Shi saw Fang Shi holding meat for Yu Xian, she didn't say anything. The autumn harvest is when the children can eat meat openly.

After eating, without taking a long break, Mr. Tong got up and went out, and everyone hurriedly followed and went to the ground again.

There are more than ten acres of soybeans, and it took two days to harvest them, followed by adzuki beans, millet, broomcorn millet, and sorghum.Adzuki bean is simpler, just pull it out and transport it home. Besides, there are not many planted, and they are all grown on the ground. The total amount is only one mu of land, and the children can do it.Millet, millet and sorghum had to be harvested with a sickle and transported back home. There were more of these, about 30 mu, so it took five days to get them all back.Then there is corn. The yield of corn is large, and Tong's family grows more corn, about 25 mu.Harvesting corn is different. One person looks at the two ridges and directly breaks off the corn cobs and throws them together in a pile every ten or so steps. The adults break them in front, and the children pack them in sacks behind. The ones whose backs move can be carried out, and those who can't be carried out together. The ten children are like ants moving house, pouring corn into the car.At this time, the ox cart was installed on the carriage board again, and the corn can be poured directly in. Of course, the old man is responsible for getting the corn into the cart.After four days of harvesting corn, the bulk of the autumn harvest is almost done. In the end, sweet potatoes are left. This kind of thing is less planted, but the yield is not low. I only planted three acres of land, but harvested about 3000 catties. Finally, sweet potatoes were harvested. They also took back home, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When Qiu received this, it could only be regarded as half completed, and all kinds of food had to be packed and dried.But this is not so urgent, you can do it slowly.At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, and it is a good time to celebrate the festival. This year, it is more coincidental. The crops just finished harvesting before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mr. Tong said, let’s make some delicious food. Everyone is enough for a while Tired, all relax.

On the afternoon of August [-]th, Tong Yunsong cast his net in the river, and then went into the forest to set a trap.Dalang and the others also went into the mountains with Tong Yunsong. Hunting requires experience, and you must practice more.The five boys, all carrying bows and arrows and holding a dagger in their hands, followed behind Tong Yunsong.Along the way, I also shot a few pheasants and hares.My father climbed over a mountain and was standing on the top of the mountain looking down. There is a flat ground below, and the forest is not too dense.Just as I was about to go down, I saw a group of wild boars suddenly appearing below. In autumn, wild boars would come to the fields in groups to harm the crops.

Just as Xiao San wanted to say wild boar, Tong Yunsong covered his mouth. He has been going up the mountain all year round, so he felt something was wrong.He waved his hand to signal the children not to move, then slowly lowered his body, hiding in the bushes and looking down.Sure enough, not far behind the wild boars, there was a fierce tiger. This tiger was leisurely following the wild boars, like a swineherd herding pigs.It is looking for an opportunity, waiting to see which wild boar is the easiest to catch, and will pounce on it.

The tiger seemed to have spotted the target, and as soon as he bowed, he rushed towards the wild boar at the back of the herd, and threw that wild boar down in one fell swoop.The remaining wild boars scattered in fright, and the tiger directly enjoyed its food.Dalang and the others lay on the mountain and did not dare to move. It was not until the tiger finished eating the wild boar and left contentedly that Tong Yunsong led his sons to stand up.

"Father, why didn't you shoot that tiger just now?" Xiao San asked.

"This tiger is the patron saint of our mountains and forests. It cannot be beaten. Young and strong tigers will not actively attack humans. Generally, tigers will not go to places where there are people. Only those old tigers do not prey. A wild animal will only hurt people when it has the power, so you can only hunt a tiger if you are attacked by a tiger." Tong Yunsong explained to his son.

"Oh, so that's the case. Does that mean there are people who will ignore these things and go hunting tigers?" Erlang asked.

"Some people will do that. After all, tigers are very valuable. The whole body of a tiger is full of treasures." Yun Song replied. "Tiger hunting is not easy. Some tigers attack people because they have been hurt by humans before."

"Father, let's go home, it's getting dark." Da Lang said.

"Well, go home." Yun Song led his sons home.

On the morning of August [-]th, Tong Yunsong went to the river early in the morning, and when the nets came out, there were a lot of fish. Da Lang and the others helped put the fish into wooden barrels, and then sent them home.Then he went out into the woods again to see if there was any prey in the holster he put down yesterday.After entering the forest, I went to the place where the traps were put yesterday, and there were really a few hares trapped.

"Go to the town in a while and sell the fish and rabbits, and you can make a lot of money." Yun Song said happily.

Da Lang and the others were not very happy, because they had to hand over the money after selling them, "Father, let's go back, we haven't eaten breakfast yet."

When I got home, breakfast was already on the table.Seeing them coming back with several rabbits, Mrs. Qin's face beamed with joy, "I'll keep two fish for a while, and let Yun Hua take the two rabbits to give to the Zhang family. I've been busy for the past two days, and I haven't been able to give gifts yet. There are quite a lot of these, and the Zhang family probably won't be able to pick anything out."

Yuxian curled her lips aside, thinking: "I'm so busy, I just can't bear to part with the money, so I just wait for my father to get some things back before giving gifts, isn't it just to save some money? Two fish, two rabbits probably That’s nearly three hundred words, and this etiquette is justified.”

"Keep two more fish, one rabbit, and one pheasant at home. Let's have a good meal tonight." The old man spoke over there.

Qin Shi just looked at the old man several times, she couldn't bear it. "How can I use these? I still have pork at home. Just use pork to fry and order dishes. These can be sold for a lot of money."

"Just knowing how to sell money, why are you looking for it? It's a big festival, and it's just after the autumn harvest. Why can't you eat some good supplements? Boss, listen to Dad, let's go to dinner tonight." You must have a good meal." The old man just didn't buy into Qin's account and insisted on saving some food.

"Hey, I got it, Dad." Of course Tong Yunsong is willing to save some for dinner, and the children are very tired these days.

After breakfast, Tong Yunsong got into the ox cart, pulled the remaining ten fish, five rabbits, and two pheasants to the town.Of course Dalang followed, the Shanlihong he made a while ago and some medicinal materials had to be delivered to Shopkeeper Fang.I've been so busy these days, I haven't delivered medicine for many days.
