Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 61

An Dalang went to Lin's house quickly, and came back quickly. Of course, it was just to send a message, and it was not a big deal. Naturally, he was faster, but he brought back a lot of things.
"A few days ago, the brothers of the Wu family killed a deer and sold it for a lot of money. Look, these are the mung beans they bought. They gave two catties to the Lin family, and the other two catties belonged to us. Uncle Lin’s place, I’ll give it to me when I go! It’s a coincidence. It says that it can produce bean sprouts, so that you can have a mouthful of fresh vegetables in winter. I haven’t done this thing, but I think I thought you would, so I brought it."

An Dalang was smiling, and he seemed very happy. Also, if others can remember him, it means that the relationship between him and them has reached the point where we can communicate with each other. How could he not be happy? It was later, because Dabao and the others gradually became acquainted with each other, and they went through the wolf disaster, Chinese New Year, and buying weapons.

"What did you say to Uncle Lin, what did he say?"

Zhao Yiyi looked at the mung beans in her hand, and twitched her mouth. Of course, she knew how to make these bean sprouts, but she didn't expect that people at this time knew it too. They really shouldn't underestimate the ancients!Maybe it's because too many civilizations were destroyed by the war, which makes people think that the ancient people don't understand anything, and they don't know anything. In fact, if you really think about it, they are all the same people, so the ancients could not survive. ?As long as it is a small trick that is easy to find in life, it is really possible that the ancients knew more than modern people!After all, the ancients were more eager for food, so how could they let them go.

"Uncle Lin was very happy when he heard it. He said that since the adults in the county paid attention to it, it would be easier to talk about it. When I left, Uncle Lin was going to go to the Qin family. I think he wanted the Qin family to find someone to come forward. lobbied."

An Dalang thought about it now, what his daughter-in-law said was actually quite far-sighted, and with more people talking, it would be easier for the county magistrate to know everyone's thoughts and make a decision that everyone was satisfied with.

"That's good, huh, this one?"

Zhao Yiyi was holding a small stone mill in the back basket, and couldn't help looking at it again and again. She had thought about buying this thing, well, she was thinking about a big stone mill, thinking about getting some beans to grind some soy milk someday Food, I don't think An Dalang brought a trumpet this time, although it is a bit smaller, it is practical!
"This is from Uncle Lin's house. I bought it from Dingshan Village. I think it looks good and I want one too. Uncle Lin said that I will give this to me first, and he will buy it in a few days. I gave you another money. You Didn't I still think about grinding some rice noodles last time, isn't this just right?"

When An Dalang said this, his face was a little red, even Zhao Yiyi felt his face was hot, she just said something inadvertently, but this person remembered it in her heart, and bought it when she saw it , there is someone who takes your every move, every word and deed into his heart. That feeling is really good. Zhao Yiyi is very beautiful and sweet in his heart. , seeing An Dalang's heart beat faster, his eyes looked aside, Dabao and the others were writing correctly, immediately stretched out his hand, held Zhao Yiyi's little hand tightly, and grinned It's very rippling.I was thinking about it even more, I really need to hurry up on this house. By the end of summer and early autumn, I and my wife will be able to consummate the house, but I can't be in the same room with these two boys anymore, otherwise I won't be able to Made out with my wife.

Zhao Yiyi didn't know that An Dalang had already thought of other places in his mind during this kung fu, but feeling the scorching heat brought by those big hands, his heart couldn't help throbbing for a while, and then he hurriedly dropped his hands and knocked An Dalang away. Putting it aside, he re-examined the things in the basket.

"Why did you bring a pheasant?"

"Ah, Erwa gave it to him. He hunted it himself a while ago. He didn't sell it. He said it was for Dabao and the others to eat. I guess it was me who sent the flour, and Aunt Lin let him out."

"Alright, it's just a matter of stewing chicken soup to drink at night. I'll make up for the one I made for the county magistrate yesterday."

Zhao Yiyi carried the pheasant and walked directly to the stove. It's already afternoon. If you don't stew it at this time, it will be less delicious to eat at night. But Dabao and the others saw that Zhao Yiyi was preparing to stew the chicken. After tapping the pen and paper, he walked up to An Dalang and began to bite his ear, talking about what happened in the morning.

"Uncle, those people are really powerful. We saw them when we went to clean up. They almost licked the bottom of the plate clean. There wasn't even a chicken bone left. It was all scum."

When Dabao said this, his face was full of admiration, as if he could bite a chicken bone into slag, which is also a great skill. Hearing that, An Dalang was so funny, he couldn't help but pat Dabao's head, and said instructively:

"They all work in the city, unlike us, who live in the mountains and are still hunting hunters, who can rely on their skills to eat some meat. Speaking of which, even hunters may not always have meat, uncle It used to be the same way, when you bought something, you sold it for money first, so that you could exchange it for some rice, so you would be willing to eat it there. That is to say, now that you have more skills, you can exchange more money, and you don’t have to worry about buying rice. Put everything you call in your stomach."

Dabao nodded after hearing this, and said in a very sensible way:

"I know, my mother also said that those who gather herbs have no medicine and medicine, and those who hunt have no meat to eat. It's all because of poverty. Uncle can support us and let us read and learn skills. That's because uncle comes and goes. The foot money earned from selling things can only be done with good hunting skills. Uncle, let us brothers help with the cave over there in the future, and we can also earn money."

Dabao saw that one night, the family earned a lot of money just by cooking, and his heart was a little moved, thinking of helping the family to earn more money. After all, he still felt that he was somewhat Eating plain rice, the thought of embarrassment, Er Bao also nodded, interrupted and said:
"We can gather firewood, cook porridge, clean, and today we are drying quilts, uncle, we can work."

When Dabao and Erbao said this, An Dalang couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. He froze for a moment, and then said funny:
"Silly boy, don't you think that our family is an inn? It was an accident yesterday. If we met rich people, what if they were ordinary people passing by! Or other hunters or something? Can you accept money? It’s just for convenience.”

When he said this, Dabao and Erbao came back to their senses for a while, froze for a while, and then became a little frustrated, but said stubbornly in a blink of an eye:
"Anyway, at least we can work and help with some things."

Speaking of which, the two brothers turned around and helped Zhao Yiyi to light the fire, leaving An Dalang alone. It seemed a bit impolite, but An Dalang was very happy that his nephew was in this house I feel more and more at ease, and I know how to play my temper. It can be seen that I really regard this place as my home and my uncle as my close relative, and I am no longer as afraid of being abandoned as before.

Zhao Yiyi killed the chicken, scalded the chicken, washed the offal, and finally put the crock pot on. Finally, he finished the first steps of the pheasant soup. He relaxed and looked at An Dalang, who was silently doing his work. , very casually said:

"Dalang, when I was free today, I thought that it would be difficult to build a big house in our yard, but we have other ways. Look! The stone wall where our cave is located is actually It is quite big and high enough. If a hole is dug in the stone wall and there is a place to borrow, can we build a two-story house? Below are three rooms facing south, and above are two rooms facing east. The room on the south side of the second floor is vacant, and the lower part is like an aisle. It does not affect the lighting, and it can provide multiple shelters from the rain. In the future, you can put stone mills on it and do anything, you see."

Zhao Yiyi said while scratching the ground with a branch, An Dalang looked at it, couldn't help making gestures with his hand, went outside again, looked at the stone wall carefully, and when he returned to the house, he calculated again. After a while, nodded and said:

"Indeed, this is a good idea. In this way, we have five rooms. There is a main room below, two rooms, and two rooms upstairs. Put the stairs going up to the south. In this way, the upper floor can be used as an inside and an outside room, and we can live in the two rooms in the future, and the two rooms below will be given to Dabao and his brothers in the future. Even if they get married, it is enough, and it is quite safe. But One thing is, if it is built, it will take longer time and cost more. After all, chiseling stones is not a small job. After all, here is a mountainside, and the wind is relatively strong. This east-facing house has eaves. Make it wider, or you will suffer in the rain.”

An Dalang, who has learned carpentry and has the ability to build a large wooden house, now has a sharp eye, but an idea, after a few glances, he immediately pointed out the pros and cons, and Zhao Yiyi could only nod when he heard it. Calculate your own money, think about it, if you really build a house like this, I am afraid that more than 30 taels of silver will not be enough, at least until the recipe that the county magistrate said is completed.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yiyi hastily changed the subject, and said to An Dalang:
"Speaking of this, I was thinking, our stone wall looks very big to me, almost extending to the mountainside, but why is this cave so small? Could it be that you never thought of making this cave bigger? It is the size of an extra storage room, and it will be much more convenient for us here."

Speaking of making the cave bigger, An Dalang touched his head with a depressed expression on his face.

"I never thought about it. The cave was not so good in the first place. There were many corners and corners. It was all cleaned up by grandpa and dad. When I was young, I saw dad clean it up. Father lost the hammer later, and without something to hit rocks, how can we clean up the cave?"

Having said that, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but slap himself.

"I'm such an idiot. In the past, I didn't have money to buy a big hammer, so I didn't move it. Now it's not that I don't have money at home, so I just buy another one. Why didn't I think of this! What a pig's brain!"

During the conversation, the whole person became excited, dragged Zhao Yiyi to the cupboard, pointed to the place where the stone platform came out and said to Zhao Yiyi:
