Nongmen's clever daughter-in-law: hook a general and give birth to a cub

Chapter 19 A Sika Deer
"My mother!"

Du Yao's big golden eyes were wide open, and she walked past Zhou Yongnian, squatting beside the flower deer and looking up and down, as if seeing a big lump of gold.

"Yong... Yongnian, this... is this really a deer?"

"Ah."

Zhou Yongnian hummed, threw the crossbow in his hand aside, removed the bloody scarf, and glanced at Grandma Mo who had just come out of the house.

"Godmother, there are two deer in total. Xu Sheng and I caught them before nightfall. It's a good thing that we don't have to live in the woods this year."

"My God!"

Grandma Mo was still worried about Du Yao returning the gifts from the villagers, but now, when she saw her sons catching a deer, she almost grinned to the root of her ears.

"Yongnian, you've only been walking for a few hours, did you really catch a deer? Don't lie to me, old woman!"

"The weather is good this year, and we will rely on these two deer for the winter."

Before Zhou Yongnian could say anything, he saw a bald boy approaching from not far away, holding a alive and kicking deer in his hand, fatter than the one on the ground.

"Mother, brother Yongnian is really a heavenly soldier and general, he caught these two guys in a few seconds!"

This bald boy is Grandma Mo's own son. He is just 17 years old this year, and he will have to marry a wife and have children in a year. However, the family does not have enough money, and there is no decent gift, which is worrying.

but,

"Okay, that's really great, old village chief, hurry up and help Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, let's see which girl Shui Ling in our village, and introduce one to my son. It's best to pick her up in the spring next year, and the bride price will be sure." Not a single word will be missing."

Grandma Mo happily moved to the side of the old village head, dancing and talking, if it wasn't for her old arms and legs, she might fly up from the ground.

"Okay, okay, Yongnian is married, and Xusheng is looking for a wife, your good life has just begun."

The old village chief wore his gray beard and was happy with the family.

However, Du Yao, who had been squatting next to the flower deer, remained motionless, with her hands on her chin, wondering what was going on in her mind.

"Sister-in-law, on the way back with Brother Yongnian, he can tell you that when he goes to the city tomorrow, he will sell these two deer and exchange them for money, and then he will go to the cloth shop to pull some rice and make some decent clothes for you, brother." It really hurts you!"

Obviously it was the first time we met, but he was very active, he really was a stunned young man, with simple thoughts in his mind, without those twisted intestines.

"Can't sell anymore!"

"what?"

"I said, this deer can't be sold whole!"

Du Yao turned around and stood up from the ground, pointed to the antlers of the flower deer, and then continued, "This thing is more valuable than meat, and if you sell it to the pharmacy, let's not say much, even if the price is lowered, we can get it back at least There are 200 taels."

"Two... 200 taels?! Sister-in-law, are you sick and talking nonsense?"

While talking, Xu Sheng made a gesture to touch Du Yao's forehead.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Seeing the blood-stained hand, she knocked it away with a look of disgust, and trotted to Zhou Yongnian's side, "Yongnian, listen to me, leave some meat, the bun is growing, and this venison will make up for it." , and the rest will be separated one by one, and sold wherever they should be sold, and they will be able to charge a good price."

"you……"

As soon as Zhou Yongnian's words came to his lips, before he could utter them, Du Yao acted like a conjurer, and made out of nowhere a kitchen knife that was glistening with cold.

Ah!Is this woman crazy? !

"I've changed my mind. Before it's too dark, let's slaughter one of the deer now and sell it at the night market in the city."

The words on his mouth were self-contained, and the movements in his hands were not vague. He directly stuffed the kitchen knife into Zhou Yongnian's hand, but he hesitated.

Zhou's family is not the only hunter in the mountains. This deer was not a rare item in the early years, but when it came to the breeding season, every household could catch one or two.

The deer skins are kept for winter clothes, and the rest are sold whole by swallowing dates. If they get more than a dozen taels of silver, they will be happy to death. How do you know that those traders who collect deer earn dozens of times as much as they do? .

Just like this, as long as deer are caught, they will be sold in the city to those who specialize in game, and the price will be clearly marked. For farmers, the price is absolutely gratifying.

The rules passed down from generation to generation make these hunters rest on their laurels, but let some speculative businessmen make a lot of money, but even so, it is as difficult as going to heaven to make them change their minds.

only……

"Listen to you."

Zhou Yongnian gritted his teeth, walked quickly to the flower deer, squatted down and was about to use the knife.

But as soon as the kitchen knife was raised above his head, Du Yao grabbed his wrist, "Brother, isn't it the first time you've cleaned up a deer?"

This is no better than slaughtering chickens and sheep. Deer are very precious. How to clean them must be particular. Even if there is a slight mistake, it will be a waste of money!

"In the past, they were sold whole. This is really the first time to do this."

"have to!"

Du Yao rolled her eyes helplessly, pinched her waist with one hand, and pointed at the deer's hind hooves with the other, "Start from here, and then..."

This and that, and that and that.

She was in charge of directing, and Zhou Yongnian was in charge of carrying out the orders. In the blink of an eye, they separated the whole deer one by one, picked some that were easy to sell, and went to the city to exchange money after dinner.

As for the leftover meat...

"Buns!"

He yelled in the direction of Westinghouse at the top of his voice, and before he finished speaking, the little guy ran over in response.

He just wanted to climb onto Du Yao's arm, but when he turned his small eyes, he saw Zhou Yongnian standing aside, and immediately turned around and threw himself into the arms of his father.

"Daddy, Daddy is back!"

The little bun shouted happily, completely ignoring Du Yao.

"Hey!"

Seeing this, Du Yao was displeased, raised her chin unhappily, and continued in a deep voice, "You guys are big and small, do you think I'm air?!"

Fortunately, she was still thinking just now, picking a few pieces of the most tender meat to make a pot of broth, and pairing it with a few big buns, it will definitely make the little bun more delicious.

But now it seems that I really need to change my mind, so as not to be pissed to death by this little white-eyed wolf!
"Leave thirty catties of venison and send it to Mrs. Li."

Zhou Yongnian put the little bun in his arms on the ground, and pushed a large basket of meat to Xu Sheng, "Take it back, put it in the cellar, and add some meat and vegetables to the godmother every day, this winter will be good."

Radishes and cabbage, after the autumn harvest, every household will save some corn on the cob and potatoes, and they will live on these "organic vegetables" in winter.

But the cold weather in Lajiu in the mountains is not a joke. If you make trouble, you may lose your ears due to freezing. Every household has very little carbon for heating. Burn the stove.
