Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 53

There are a lot of people and strength, and the speed of these strong boys is really not slow. In the afternoon, not only did several houses in the cave stand up one by one, but they also took care to make it better. For example, the The newly built walls have reserved places, embedded with boards or ropes, specially used to place oil lamps or torches, and there are also quick hands to see that there are no mats on the kang, so they specially went to get bamboo. group, weaved the roughest bamboo mat with the fastest speed. Although it is not dense enough and not good-looking, it can be used anyway!The earthen stove was also set up, even the box was made by someone, it was made of bamboo, An Dalang saw that everyone did so many extra things, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Yiyi to cook more food for everyone to eat Let's go after dinner.After the wolf disaster, the level of danger in this area has dropped several levels. As long as it is not really dark, there is no problem with so many people walking together. I am not afraid that it will be inconvenient for them to go home.

Hearing that we could have another meal, the big guys got excited again. The older ones went around the cave and told them to rest the door and make some bamboo fences. After surrounding a yard, they dug a hole in a corner of the yard, put up bamboo rafts, and made a hut. The gate and the gate of the yard were also made of double-layered bamboo. It's all done.If it wasn't for returning some necessary living utensils, the cave would be able to live directly at this time.

The brothers of the Wu family left in the afternoon. After all, they lived the farthest away, and they were afraid of going back at night, while Uncle Lin and the others stayed for a while, until they were about to eat, and then hurriedly took a few steamed buns and carried them on their backs. The divided wild boar went back.It wasn't until after dinner that Zhao's family took Dahu back together that the day was finally over. An Dalang took Zhao Yiyi for a walk around the newly made cave, and couldn't help but say:
"Such a spacious and tidy house, I really dare not think about it. I finished it in one day. I thought it would take several days."

No matter how brilliant the smirk on that face looked, needless to say, he was shocked by the wealth of his family now, and never thought that he still had such extravagant spending.

"So what if it's done? The mud isn't even dry yet! How many more days does it need to be baked?"

Zhao Yiyi rolled her eyes. She is not An Dalang's cow. After a day's work, she still has the mind to think about this and that. She is exhausted. She has been cooking for a day. , because I was afraid that the bowls and chopsticks would not be enough, I bought 40 pieces of pottery tableware, 6 rice bowls, 6 large bowls, 6 noodle bowls, 6 plates, 1 spoon, 6 plates, and a soup bowl , 6 teacups, a deep plate, a fish plate, plus my own original four large bowls for putting vegetables, and 6 bowls for eating, this is barely enough.

Four dishes and one soup!It doesn't look like much, but I can't stand the fact that each one is made in large quantities!Who made these people a strong laborer with a big appetite!Anyway, for steamed buns, she made more than 150 of them that day, and took out three large pots of yam, minced rice and meat porridge, which fed these people to their full.

"It's not this, I was thinking, such a big cave, so many houses, if we hadn't thought about it and let people live here, I couldn't help but think about moving here! After all, our place It's smaller."

An Dalang was thinking about it with starry eyes. He seemed to think that in the future, there would be several children in his family, Dabao and Erbao, and the whole family would live here. He and his wife shared a room, Dabao and Erbao shared a room, and his several One child is also two people in one room, hey, then I need at least three or four children to live in a full room!

"Don't think about it, our house is small, but the yard is big! Waiting for next year we will build a house in the yard and build three spacious ones. At that time, it will be much better than here. From now on, the innermost two rooms in the cave will be completely placed Things, the outside can still be used as a guest room or something, and it can be used if someone comes, and it can be used as a summer escape!"

Zhao Yiyi didn't know what kind of beautiful scenery An Dalang was thinking of. In her heart, she was still thinking about building a house in the yard!No matter how good the cave is, it’s not as good as living in a house, isn’t it!

When Zhao Yiyi said this, An Dalang came back to his senses, blinked his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"That's right. The inside of this place is big, but the yard outside is a little smaller. After all, the entrance here is not well-organized. It's not like our house. My grandfather has cleaned up the entrance since generation one, so it can be so big and spacious. There is also the wind from the sky, even with this wall, the door is still a bit bigger, by the way, daughter-in-law, the window is closed, but what about the window paper?"

"What else can I do? Tomorrow, I'll use linen cloth and cover it with a layer, so as not to block the light, but also to block the wind. After all, the room is so small that it won't be cold after waiting for the kang to burn. .”

An Dalang heard that his daughter-in-law had paid attention, and immediately put the question down, and then talked about something else:

"I'm going to clear things up in the village tomorrow, and I'll go to the town the day after tomorrow to sell the meat. The village already has it all, and no one has bought it. We still have two pigs! When I come back, we'll sell the meat again. Just put the iron pot and bedding on it, and think about it, what do you want to buy this time, by the way, let’s buy Uncle Lin’s bow and arrows for him, and he will exchange them for five wolf skins.”

Five wolf skins!The more An Dalang thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good deal. He helped people and made money. After adding these five wolf skins and adding 10 of his own, that would be 4500 yuan!You can buy a lot of things!An Dalang thinks this way, at this time the husband and wife have a good understanding, and Zhao Yiyi is also thinking the same way!Thinking it's Chinese New Year, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, everything must be ready, and sugar, she still wants to make sweet and sour pork tenderloin!There is so much meat at home!Wouldn't it be a fool not to use it?Carpenter tools and embroidery tools are also needed. There are still one or two months of winter after the Chinese New Year, and the rules of overhunting in spring are not good. The time is really free, and I should always find something for myself. , Let An Dalang also make more practical furniture for the home.In addition to the hot pot, she also wants to get it out. In this way, it will cost 2500 yuan, and the seven sets of bedding in the new cave will cost 700 yuan, and Uncle Lin's bow and arrow is 500. Hey, Earn money quickly, use it faster, and after the New Year, I still have to buy seeds, planting manuals, detoxification books, etc. I promised An Dalang's pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Without 2000 yuan, it would not be enough. As soon as she thought of this, she suddenly thought of the steamed buns she made today, couldn't help but sighed, and said to An Dalang:
"It's time to buy rice and noodles at home tomorrow, and there are a lot of them available today. I always have to prepare more food at home to make people feel at ease!"

When he heard about the food, An Dalang also thought of it. With these people coming from home for the New Year, each family would probably bring some food, but it is estimated that most of the food is meat. I am afraid that the staple food needs to be brought by themselves, otherwise they will not come out this time. There are so many wild boar meats. Thinking of this, thinking about his two rice vats, An Dalang suddenly laughed:

"Daughter-in-law, tell me how good this day is. I don't have to worry about running out of food at home, and I don't have to worry about the rice tank being empty. If I let my parents know that I have such a day, I think they will be so happy that they want to come back and see. "

Zhao Yiyi really wanted to hit him with a chestnut, it's nothing to say dead!Ever since she traveled through time, she has believed in such nonsense things.However, An Dalang was lucky and escaped the catastrophe, because Dabao and the others came, poked their heads in through the door cautiously, looked at the cave with a happy face, and held a torch in their hands. It's not too small, but he walked here from home by himself, and it's getting dark now!

"What are you doing at the door?"

"Uncle, we want to see."

"When there are many people working here, these two boys don't come in at all. It's like a construction site inside. They can only help to light the fire at home, help Zhao Yiyi cook, and be a fire boy. Now everyone is leaving Now, I naturally want to know what has become of this place after a busy day.

An Dalang liked these two nephews very much, so he hurriedly beckoned, and saw the two children rushing in like rabbits, and then scurrying from room to room, looking east and west. , not happy, Erbao whispered to his brother:

"Brother, this place is really big, with so many rooms."

"That's right, didn't you hear what my little uncle said, someone will come and live here in the future! There won't be only four of us here in the future. It will be very lively."

Zhao Yiyi's eyes flashed when he heard this, children are just children, they all like to be lively!

"Grandpa Lin and his uncles also come during the Chinese New Year. Isn't that very lively? Why let other people come and live here? Wouldn't it be enough if they all come here?"

"Fool, don't they still have their own home, where can we stay here forever? This place is an inn, you know?"

"Ah, I know that, Dad said before, there is one in the town, and we can also become a town here?"

"I reckon that maybe Uncle just wants to turn this place into a town!"

These two children became much more lively and talked more. Listening to their childish language, Zhao Yiyi also laughed. Children always think about the simplest things. Has this place become a town?how is this possible!But in the end, they showed their lively nature, and they are no longer the timid and weak look they used to be, which is a good thing.Boys, you should be tougher!

"Okay, hurry up, let's go home and sleep, your uncle will go out tomorrow!"

Zhao Yiyi stretched out his hand to hold the two children, and walked out step by step. An Dalang was closing the door and the courtyard behind him with a smile, and he was still busy with holding a lantern to illuminate the mother in front.
