Mountain People

    After finishing the preparatory work, everyone dragged the prey and set off. The Qinchuan people were not very strong, so they took two torches to show everyone the way. Zuo Qingsong walked at the end, dragging with one hand. Prey, holding a torch in one hand, he is more alert and can deal with the aftermath for everyone.

    With an uneasy and nervous heart, everyone walked in the dark night until dawn, and finally came out of the mountains when the sun came out.

    The group rushed to the direction of Panlong Town without further delay.

    When passing by Caozi Village, Dong Chenghu went in and drove the donkey cart, which was extremely fast.

    With the donkey cart, everyone can put wild deer on it. Although a donkey cart can only carry four wild deer, it also reduces a lot of burdens for everyone.

    When they arrived at Panlong Town, Dong Chenghu bought another donkey cart, which is good. All the wild deer were carried in a donkey cart. On the way, everyone finally arrived in Zhishui County two days later.

    Dong Chenghu and Zuo Qingsong first carried the prey to the big restaurant in the county town. The prey in the county town was also purchased from various towns, which was similar to the prey brought by Dong Chenghu and the others, but they It is much more expensive to go to town to acquire.

    So the shopkeeper of the restaurant will not be surprised when he sees these wild deer, it is not a problem to eat all these prey, their restaurant has an ice cellar, when the time comes to store these prey, enough for them to consume most of them months.

    "Well, your prey is big and fresh. Let's go to the town to buy it. A pound of venison costs 30 cents, a pound of roe deer meat is 32 cents, and a pound of wild pork costs 32 cents. The jin is twenty-five cents. How about we pay you the purchase price in the town?"

    The shopkeeper's abacus was crackling loudly, and his eyes flashed with the peculiar light of businessmen.

    Everyone knows that the price they bought in the town must be more than that, but the price per pound is much higher than the price they sold to the town, so everyone did not bargain much, and they were very happy made a deal,

    A wild deer weighs about 400 pounds, a roe deer weighs 70 to 80 pounds, and a wild boar weighs about 300 pounds.

    In the end, Dong Chenghu got 31 taels, the Qin family got 50 taels, and Zuo Qingsong got 24 taels.

    Everyone was as happy as the New Year when they got the money.

    "Shan'er, with this money, and the money left over from buying land and building a house before, Dad can also marry you a good wife. I think we can buy some more fields. of."

    With these fifty taels of silver, Uncle Qin seems to be several years younger.

    When they hunted before, they rarely went into the mountains in groups like this. The last time everyone went into the mountains to hunt in groups was when Dong Chenghu's father Dong Yitao was still alive.

      The group has entered the mountain, and this time they are lucky, they just recruited a wild boar, which is how they can exchange so much money.

    But this kind of thing can't be done often. This time, they may live a good life with this money. If it is not necessary, they should not go into the mountains to hunt on such a large scale.

    It just so happens that everyone is not a greedy person, and they have not lost their hearts when they get money. When Uncle Qin left the restaurant, he taught them all the way, not to go into the mountains in private in groups in the future.

    "Chenghu, shall we rush back to Panlong Town first?" Uncle Qin looked at the sky, it was past noon, and he set off at this time, and it took two or three nights on the road to reach Panlong town.

    "Uncle, I want to go to the silver shop and buy some jewelry for Shuixiu and the others. In addition, I have to go to the medical center and ask if I can ask the doctor to come back to Cuizhu Mountain with me. Xiu is about to give birth, I don't know what to do, we only have a doctor in Panlong Town, and it's easy to ask for it. already."

    "Oh! You are really busy, so let's stay in the county for one night, and we can't bear to travel for several days. You also think about what you need to do in the county. Yes, take advantage of this time to come over and do it together."

    As soon as Uncle Qin finished his words, Qin Shan and Zuo Qingsong both expressed that they would go to the silver shop with Dong Chenghu, because there were a lot of people going, and finally decided to go to the silver shop when they left the county. Dong Chenghu first Go buy some things to visit Gu Daniu, and then go to the market to see if there are donkey carts for sale. If the price is lower than Panlong Town, buy them together, so that they will have means of transportation when they go back.

    The county fair after noon was a bit messy, many vendors had withdrawn their stalls, and there were a lot fewer people buying things.

    The group first went to the pastry shop to buy some cakes, and then went to the restaurant to buy two roast chickens to add oil and water to Gu Daniu.

    The attitude of the person who came here was more than a little bit better. Dong Chenghu and others went directly into the back door of the county government office and waited in a spartan room.

    "You stay here now, I'll call someone right away, remember, this is the county office, don't walk around casually, I don't care if something happens."

    The man explained it again and again before leaving, with a worried look on his face.

    "Dad, why does the county government have such a house, it's worse than ours." Qin Chuan looked around the room for a long time, and then he couldn't hold back his words when they left.

    Uncle Qin gave Qin Chuan a warning look, and whispered: "This is probably the house where the back door of the county government is used to store debris. How can it be better? But it is much better than the house where we ordinary people live. More, you see, this is also a blue brick house!"

    Qin Chuan nodded in response, daring not to speak any more.

    After a while, Gu Daniel finally appeared. He hasn't seen him for almost a year.

    "Brother-in-law, why are you here?" Gu Daniu was very pleasantly surprised, he smiled and showed his big white teeth, much calmer than before.

    Dong Chenghu was very satisfied and greeted him with a smile, "Da Niu, let's come to the county to do business, and stop by to see you, these are snacks for you, seeing that you are so strong, I It's better to explain it to your sister when I look back, and it makes her happy."

    "Brother-in-law, I heard what my parents said. I really want to visit your house, but I can't get away from here, and I can't take a long vacation." Gu Daniu was annoyed Rubbing his head, not being polite to Dong Chenghu, he untied the pastry and roast chicken in front of everyone and let everyone eat together.

    In his cognition, everyone is not very wealthy, and these pastries and roast chickens are not all you want to eat.

    Some people, including Qin Chuan, say they don't eat it.

    "Put it away, and take it home for a tooth sacrifice. Do you have enough money here? If it's not enough, tell my brother-in-law and I'll lend it to you first."
