Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 74

"I wonder if it's time for us to start making wine? Although this is not the time when there are the most fruits, I remember you said that the cherries can also be used to make wine. Uncle Lin and his family have several cherry trees on the mountain behind their house. I Thinking that if it’s feasible, let’s get a basket, what do you think?”

When talking about wine making, Zhao Yiyi frowned again, with an expression of uncertainty.

"If you want to say that this is really a good thing, it should be no problem for us to get some wine from the mountains and sell it to the people in the mountains, but I am always worried that it is okay for the people in the mountains to go, but they want to transport the goods. , there is no good way except human back, if we really do this business, this is a big problem."

"You're thinking too far. Even if we really do this wine-making work, we can't do much. At most, we sell it to the surrounding villages and mountain people in the mountains, or those who come to us to live in the cave. I'm afraid it's impossible to sell people in the town. Although wine is not much brewed, there are few people who eat it, and the selling price will not be too high. After all, this thing must be bought! I That is, I want to let others see that we have more money coming from our family. In the future, there will be more channels for the wine you get here. Do the math, this started from killing wolves last year, and it took half a year now , How much wine has our family taken out from home, and how many people have seen me carry it back? These are all loopholes. Only when our family makes wine by itself, is it all blocked. When people talk about it, they will only say that we The wine is well brewed, and the people are proud."

When An Dalang said this, Zhao Yiyi's vest was also cold, but it wasn't true, from washing the wounds of Orion, to his own deer blood wine, etc., he took out quite a lot. Nearly two hundred catties, which family can have such a big money.Where did the wine come from, if not homemade?Isn't it just a loophole.

Speaking of which, in the beginning, she might not care about anything in order to have enough food. After all, they are an inconspicuous poor household. No one will pay attention to how their family lives. But as time goes by, the life of this family becomes easier. Knowing their There are more and more people in the family, and naturally there will be no less inquiring eyes, so how to make up for the loopholes in the family in a timely manner has become a big problem.

"Fortunately, you are thoughtful. I almost missed a big deal here. By the way, I also took away a lot of loofah and leek seeds for Dahu today. It's not a big deal."

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter. There are not one or two families who sell seeds in the county. If you really want to talk about it, you can say that it was brought by the ship. Because no one has planted or eaten it, so no one bought it. Take the ship. I was afraid of losing money, so I gave it to me directly, and the seeds that don’t cost money are naturally to be planted, so that we have something to say when we plant something that no one has seen before.”

Now An Dalang is getting more and more experienced in smoothing things over, but in a blink of an eye, he immediately has a talk, which finally made Zhao Yiyi feel at ease, but in a blink of an eye, she squinted at An Dalang again, and asked:

"Now you are telling lies faster and faster, so you can't fool me in the future, right?"

As soon as the woman became suspicious, Zhao Yiyi immediately became unreasonable, and An Dalang felt that he was wronged. He tugged on Zhao Yiyi's sleeve, and shouted in a sad and indignant tone:
"I'm calling your aunt, you really, really, let that horse run again, and don't let the horse eat grass! No, you can't say that, that, that, forget it, I can't say it, if It wasn't for you, I could be like this? This helper thought of a way, how come it's my fault again! Tell me, how dare I fool you! Daughter-in-law, the conscience of heaven and earth!"

An Dalang's face can only be said in a few words. If he is worried, he can pinch water out, and if he frowns, he can pinch mosquitoes to death.Such a rich expression is really rare on him, Zhao Yiyi couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw it, stretched out his hand to caress An Dalang's face, leaned closer and said:
"It's fine if you don't dare, or I'll take care of you."

While speaking, she twisted her hand on An Dalang's waist again, giving a painful warning, and An Dalang immediately looked pained and happy.

"Daughter-in-law, don't you think it's strange? Today you are threatening and tormenting me. Why do I feel that at this moment, I feel so close to you!"

Zhao Yiyi's mouth was wide open, her jaw was about to drop, what do you say?Could it be that this kid is still a masochist?But when I think about it, it seems that the things I did with him today are only the appearance of being close to the family, and it is the appearance of a close relationship between husband and wife. Now Zhao Yiyi is really speechless, so this is the so-called Hitting is kissing, scolding is love!

"Well, I will do this for you every day in the future, so that you can feel comfortable a few times."

"Hey, daughter-in-law, here, here, here, why don't we change places? There is too little meat in this place, and I can't afford to rub it with this skin."

It's hard to say much about the couple flirting, but anyway, the wine making business has been settled, and it only takes a day or two, and An Dalang will use what wine barrels, what The big vat for brewing wine and the big stove for steaming rice are all ready.

On March [-]rd, that was the day when Wu Dalin, the second child of the Wu family, got married. An Dalang was ready to go to the wedding banquet early in the morning, and Zhao Yiyi was still the task of looking after the house. I am really not at ease, even Dabao and the others did not follow because of their young age, An Dalang could only set off alone with his back basket on his back, wearing newly made clothes, in the back basket was a gift from An's family, a piece of red cloth Five feet, plus a wooden barrel made by An Dalang himself, made up a two-color gift. No matter how you look at it, it can be regarded as a heavy gift. After all, this is a family in the mountains, and the family is not very rich. The etiquette of nearly two hundred words can make the owner's face flushed.

Zhao Yiyi has always been successful, and now she basically gives gifts that are affordable and inexpensive, just like this linen, as long as you spend 5 yuan, you can get 100 coins out of it. The things she bought, no matter how cost-effective they are, the most important thing is that she always sends them before people's weddings and weddings, so that they are delivered directly to her heart, saving people a lot of expenses, so considerate The gift-giving earned her a lot of praise. No one would say that the daughter-in-law of An's family is a good person, and she is considerate.

Of course, at the same time, she is also very careful. When giving things, she never gives things that are punched in her shop, such as soap and sugar. In the era of using the leaves of the saponins tree, that is something that crosses the world. It is really impossible to sell it. Even if she uses it herself, she uses it secretly, and she dares not let others see it. It can kill people, who let the sugar at this time, except for the natural golden-colored honey like honey, the rest is basically black!Occasionally, there are some yellow crystals, which are already something that people who are either rich or expensive are entitled to enjoy, not to mention the so-called frosting sugar with a high price that can make people despair, which is basically only a legend.But what about Zhao Yiyi!Her candy is probably a higher grade than that frosted candy. You said that if people find out, will it kill someone?
That's why Zhao Yiyi can almost disappear even if she is careful, even at home, she also mixes the sugar with honey, or mixes it with sweet fruit to confuse other people's eyes and ears. My aunt loves them so much that she gives them sweets to eat. Occasionally, she cooks braised pork, which almost swallows their tongues.

Even Zhao Yiyi was so careful, but in what An Dalang said yesterday, she felt that she still had a lot of loopholes. Under such circumstances, she looked at the back of her man walking away, and her heart sank again. One decision, that is, from now on, even if she is delivering linen, she has to start paying attention. She has thought about it carefully, and she always delivers cloth. After a long time, she will also have a lot of trouble. It's not that there is a problem with the source, but that the linen bought in her shop is all machine-woven. In terms of density and flatness, it is incomparable with this artificial one. I don't know how much higher it is. If you take it out, in the eyes of the outside cloth shop, the value will be much higher, but I am so generous, and it is a direct five feet when I take it out, which is still a bit too ostentatious. Even if I need to send cloth in the future, I will Remember, you have to tear the cloth apart and take it as small steps, two feet by one foot, and walk outside.

Zhao Yiyi turned her head, Dabao and Erbao were still having breakfast again, looking at the two children, she thought for a while, maybe, these two children themselves should pay attention, the children are the most scheming, so we can't let them unintentionally Seeing everything, hearing everything, and then accidentally saying it.Sure enough, it was time to build the house earlier. Now it is much more convenient to sleep in a separate room than in one big house. When the house is built, I and An Dalang live upstairs, and they live downstairs, so it will probably be more secluded.

"Auntie, what are you doing today?"

"Shall we go chop wood?"

"Go and dig wild vegetables. It's been a while since we dug. Let's eat wild vegetables."

"Uncle coming back tonight?"

The two children started chatting with Zhao Yiyi in a hurry, and even knew how to help them with the work. Zhao Yiyi naturally liked them very much, but.She sighed in her heart, it was already very bold for An Dalang to know her secret, she couldn't take any more risks, these two children, she just had to treat them a little better.
