Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 87

An Dalang is very busy, really, I can't say how busy he is, the reason is very simple, he just thought that someone will build a market opposite his own site, so he couldn't help but walk around, but he didn't want to be surprised It was really a surprise to find that since the mountain leopard disappeared, many small animals have returned. This is really a surprise, isn't this the prey that was delivered to the door.

Of course, because it was not a place he was familiar with, just in case, An Dalang called people, Dahu, Uncle Lin and his son, and the four hunters went straight to the mountain for three days. The harvest of these three days is huge, not to mention others, but An Dalang and Dahu got it, one deer, three sheep, one roe deer, seven hares, five pheasants, it is simply the biggest harvest this year the day is over.

With so many prey, the family immediately became busy, because An Dalang was going to contribute to the construction of the market, so Duhu went home and called his old lady, thinking of being a helper, bacon, Cleaning, tanning, the earth stove in the busy home never stops for a moment.

When it was finally time to go to the market, he became even more dizzy from the bustle, because An Dalang's small hut at the foot of his own mountain to warn of site problems was turned into a yard by him, and an earthen stove was put on. After getting on the table and chairs, it was a small restaurant inside. There was Zhao Yiyi and the two youngest children selling mutton steamed buns, haggis steamed buns, a bowl of ten yuan a bowl, and a bowl of five yuan a bowl, all with signs hanging Went to the market.

An Dalang didn't sell prey in the market. Anyway, the meat is not easy to spoil in winter, and he didn't worry about the problem of not being able to finish it, so he simply put it all at home, except for mutton, mutton bones, and haggis, which were in Zhao Yiyi Bowls are sold here, and the meat at home can be eaten for a month.

In the market, An Dalang’s stall sells things that are not available in any village. He didn’t sell ironware, because blacksmiths from other villages not far away came to sell them. He didn’t sell furniture either, because there were also carpenters for small pieces of furniture. Straight up a grocer.

There are eight or nine buckets of a large bag of broken rice, broken steps of various colors, some three feet, two feet, and even five feet, buckskin boots, ox bone combs, copper pots, and various pottery bowls. , and put on two old cotton-padded jackets.The most eye-catching thing is the two jars of wine. This guy actually opened one of the jars in a bad way, and the smell can be smelled from far away.By the way, there are peppers, which are known to many people now. An Dalang not only sells this, but also sells seeds, in small packets, in small packets. The things that dare not reach out are the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones. These are things that ordinary people in the mountains can only look at with yearning eyes, but dare not touch them!
"Dalang, your things are too complicated. Why do you come here with so many things? Just try one or two things first, and you don't mind the trouble if you are far away."

The stall of the Wu family brothers is right next to An Dalang. They are here to sell prey. To be honest, there are quite a lot of people selling prey in this mountain. As a result, the business will not be very good, okay. Each family always has its own strengths. Either this family can make bacon, or that family can make chicken. In addition to the large prey that is sold for meat, most of the others can be used for Chinese New Year. On the top, you can store things for a long time.

It was precisely because they were not busy that the Wu family brothers simply leaned next to An Dalang to watch him sell things, and would help out from time to time. They are enlightened that they can count money.

"That's not too much! This is just a few! Auntie, it's a good deal for you to buy a set of ox horn combs. I'll charge you the whole price. Let me give you a hundred cash. The price I buy is almost the same. Take the amount. Yes. Hey, it’s ready! I’ll come back next time.”

An Dalang sold another set of horn combs in a blink of an eye, and put the copper plates into his bag, only then did he have the time to turn around and talk to the Wu family brothers.

"I'm not like your brothers. Anyway, there are two people who are busy making money. I'm the only man in my family. It's rare that I can make money without running around. If you don't hurry up, how will you live that day?" What’s more, I really don’t have many things. I didn’t take out any of those carpentry jobs. Not at all, time is so tight, I couldn't catch up with someone to bring it!"

An Dalang spoke quickly, and kept packing up the goods in his hands. The Wu family brothers who watched it didn't know what to say. To be honest, they were somewhat proud of themselves. Look, An Dalang envied us for being two people. brother!Also, it is always easier for two men to support the family than one. This is for the benefit of the family. If An Dalang wants to live a good life, he can only work harder.

After such a comparison, for some reason, the Wu family brothers felt that An Dalang was getting closer again, as if he felt a little sorry for not helping him, so he took a few steps and took his bag of broken rice, Helped An Dalang to weigh the rice outside.

"Eight cents a liter of broken rice! It's best to make porridge."

At the entrance of the hot spring, Mrs. Zhao Qian waited at the entrance with Dahu, watching the men who came to the market go in to take a bath, smiling happily as they collected the money.

"Dahu, don't talk about it! Your brother-in-law's method is good! One person has two pennies, and one pool of water is washed three times for one change. Isn't this just sitting on the ground and collecting money? I'm afraid you can collect nearly a hundred pennies a day today." , with his money-making mind, it's surprising that his life wasn't prosperous that day!"

Zhao Dahu, who was sitting on the side, didn't have the time to talk to his wife right now, he was resting and panting!He was too busy today. First, he went to the market to trick people into taking a bath. Well, it’s not really a trick. People always like to be clean, don’t they? If you don’t take a bath before, you can’t help if your body is dirty. What about this condition!I can only mess around like this, and I can ask someone to tell me that there is a potion pool that can take a hot bath. After washing, my body will not itch, I will not get lice, and I don’t have to worry about getting a cold from the cold water. It's not heart-wrenching, but it's itching all over the body immediately, and it seems that I can't go home immediately without washing.

Waiting for the first few people who were excited to follow, and looked inside, this person's two papers were collected immediately. Inside, there are two pools, one pool can hold three people, and two pools are six people. There's nothing to be shy about, I swarmed in and washed it up, as for changing clothes?It’s not that I’m unprepared, forget it, the dirty ones will be settled, let’s talk about it when I go back, but everyone is secretly thinking about such a good place, and next time I will bring my family with me, and bring a change of clothes , It's so refreshing to wash, the water here in winter is really comfortable to pour on the body!
After these few people have been washed, Zhao Dahu's job will come. These six are stinky people. Can they keep the water they washed?Naturally, the water needs to be released. After the water is released, it is natural to clean the pool a little bit. Wait until the end, continue to release the hot water from the hot spring, and then wait for the second group of people to come, and then continue the previous steps until noon. , No less than three batches of people have come, and a series of tasks have been sat down, so I don’t want to say anything because I’m busy.

Except for collecting money, Mrs. Zhao Qian has nothing else to do!It's strange to say, how come this market is actually a man!What about women?Zhao Qianshi was here when she was preparing to have a woman, so why did she disappear!Obviously there are women in the market too?Could it be that there is a rule that women can't take a bath in this bath?But I have never heard of such a rule!

But Zhao Yiyi didn't have time to take care of this at this time, she was busy at the mutton steamed bun snack shop here!This market sells everything, but everyone has forgotten one thing, as a new market, there is no place to eat!So although Zhao Yiyi's mutton steamed bun restaurant is a bit far away and needs to go out of the market to cross a small river, but because of this uniqueness, the business is still booming.

This kind of excitement is not only during the day, but at night, An Dalang's house is still busy. The reason is very simple. People who are close to the market have gone home one by one, but they are far away!Those who arrived at the market in the afternoon had no way to go home immediately, so they naturally needed to stay here for a night. In the mountains, it was too dangerous to walk at night, so the An Dalang family The simple cave inn has played a role. The kang made by Datong is the best and warmest place to rest. The accommodation fee of two pennies per person is really cheap. If you add one penny, You can still drink a bowl of rice porridge to fill your stomach. Although it may not be enough to fill you up, your stomach will not be empty anyway!It can also prevent people from being unable to walk when they get up and go back the next morning.

On the second day, all the people who came to the market were gone, but the people who were nearby came again. Although there were not many, they were in twos and threes, but they also added income to An's family, because they came from a whole family. Take a bath.Hot springs have been fermented for a day, and have spread among nearby people. Winter is just around the corner, and everyone wants to clean themselves up. People who are not living well can save money by cleaning up at home. Money, but someone with a little background!Then I want to be particular about it, no matter how I think about it, I feel that taking a hot spring is really a comfortable thing, so I naturally want to enjoy it.

This kind of busyness lasted for six days, and then it was unbearable. An Dalang and Zhao Yiyi sat on the kang and began to count the money they earned these days. The market is still very good for their family, not to mention the sharp increase in the number in Zhao Yiyi's shop recently, 38070 yuan, and they can realize their dream of upgrading again with less than 12000 yuan. The two of them are happy.
