Reborn in the fiery age, I am a salted fish in the mountains

Chapter 221 Showing More and More Telling Feet

Zhou Min is back.

The one who came back was very proud, like the little cock in the village who had just grown up and had a fight with other big cocks.

As a result, she actually won in the end!

That was indeed something to be proud of, and she deserved it. Zhou Min puffed up her chest, and together with Jiang Yue behind her, she carried a 6 or 70 kilogram blue sheep. She stood proudly outside the courtyard gate, letting everyone welcome her triumphant victory.

"Everyone, come and help, I'm almost exhausted!"

Zhou Min carried the prey and walked outside the courtyard door, but deliberately stopped instead of opening the door and walking into the courtyard.

At this moment, she was seen using a wooden stick and crutch to support the lifting bar on her shoulders.

With this wooden stick to bear the weight, Zhou Min herself no longer has to bear the weight on her shoulders.

Zhou Min was waiting for everyone in the yard to come and open the door for her, so as to give everyone a surprise.

At the same time, it also allowed Zhou Min to show off her pride.

Just because Zhou Min went out this time and caught so many prey. If she didn't show her face properly in front of everyone, how could she be worthy of her hard work for two days and one night?
So when Zhou Min passed by Liu Hongdong carrying the prey.

He proudly rejected Liu Hongdong's proposal to let Liu Hongdong and Zhou Jian carry the prey so that Zhou Min could rest his breath.

Instead, she and Jiang Yue continued to endure the exhaustion and carried the blue sheep alive outside the gate of Aju's thatched hut.

Zhou Min stopped, proudly waiting for the next highlight moment that belonged to her alone.

It was like a general who had returned in triumph but did not enter when he arrived at the city gate. He had to wait until all the women, old and children in the village came out to greet him happily.
Zhou Min had to take advantage of her posture and pose.

What happened next was naturally Wu Xiaojie, who was holding the mule, came forward and knocked on the door, "Tuk, duk, duk -"!
No one responded.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk"! !

The courtyard was still silent.

"Isn't sister Aju at home? Why doesn't anyone come to open the door for me?"

Zhou Min frowned slightly, then looked up at the sky, "Oh no! I'm so stupid. It's cloudy this afternoon, and Aju must have gone back to work on land reclamation."

Why!What a waste of so many expressions. The flesh on my face is almost stiff!Jiang Yue, yell at me as loud as you can and ask them all to come over and help pick up the things! "

Jiang Yue was naturally obedient.

——Whether it’s for the sake of having a big meal of mutton tonight, or for the sake of learning hunting from the extremely skilled and smart sister Zhou Min in the future.

Jiang Yue couldn't find the reason why he didn't listen to Zhou Min, "Brother Xiaokang! Chang Dehua, and sister Deyu! Come and help unload the things, they are almost crushing us!"

"Everyone, hurry up and help. Sister Zhou Min is exhausted. She has killed a lot of blue sheep, as well as 5 pheasants and 1 hare! We can all eat meat with our stomachs open tonight!"

"Brother Xiaokang, Sister Aju, and Sister Deyu. Hurry up and open the door!"

Zhou Min expressed that he was very satisfied with Jiang Yue's behavior of worshiping him and never forgetting to put gold in his face.

——Apart from Jiang Yue’s flaw that he shouldn’t be called Sister Deyu, Zhou Min feels that Jiang Yue’s current performance should be a little better.
Not long after Jiang Yue's call stopped, the courtyard door opened with a creak.

The person who opened the door was Chang Dehua, who was running out of breath. Immediately afterwards, Chang Deyu also appeared at the door of the courtyard.

Chang Longqing, whose legs and feet were not so agile, followed closely behind and ran over panting.

But there was no sign of Han Xiaokang and A Ju.

This made Zhou Min feel a faint sense of disappointment. What should have come did not come, and what should not have come was piled up.

"Yeah!!! So many wild sheep??"

Wow, there are pheasants and hares too! "

In Chang Dehua's extremely exaggerated expression, what was revealed was full of sincere shock: "Sister Zhou Min is amazing! You went out for a trip and came back with so many prey?!"

"Are you so long-winded?"

Chang Deyu hurriedly passed his younger brother, and stepped forward to take the weight that was placed on Zhou Min's shoulder. "Sister Zhou Min is already so tired, why do you have so much to say? Hurry up and help carry it!"

Looking at Chang Deyu, who is taller than herself, fairer than herself, and whose plump lips are more charming than her own mouth, she also feels sincerely sorry for herself at this time.

This made Zhou Min, who was slightly depressed, become happy again, "I'm not tired, Deyu, don't scold Dehua. He has never seen such a thing before. He was shocked all of a sudden. normal."

Zhou Min smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't know. When I first entered the mountain, I saw my Xiaokang carrying back such a big blue sheep for the first time. I was so surprised at that time. Brother Bi Dehua Even bigger!
At that time, my Xiaokang was so tired that he could hardly walk. Didn’t I react?"

In front of the arrogant Chang Deyu, seeing that Zhou Min killed 4 sheep, 3 pheasants, and 1 hare at once, he was naturally full of joy.

And it’s still that kind of genuine excitement!
However, when she heard Zhou Min said "My family is well-off" on the left and "My family is Xiaokang" on the right, Chang Deyu immediately froze slightly.
Chang Deyu is not stupid, on the contrary she is very smart.

If what Zhou Min said just now could be said to be unintentional.

But Zhou Min said these words several times in a row, and Chang Deyu suddenly murmured in his heart: This is Zhou Min, is he deliberately swearing sovereignty?

Just like the big tiger and the two tigers, as long as Han Xiaokang plants a new stake, they will happily run over, lift their legs towards the stake, and sprinkle hot urine on it.
But when it comes to things between men and women, isn't it like queuing up to buy treated cloth at a supply and marketing cooperative store and being on a first-come, first-served basis? ?

While everyone was unloading the goods, they asked Jiang Yue happily and curiously how Zhou Min was able to catch so many blue sheep at once when he went hunting this time.
There are 4 fat blue sheep!
There are three mules on their backs, and one is carried by Zhou Min and Jiang Yue. They are full of mules, which makes people happy just to see them.

These blue sheep are quite fat. I estimate that even if they do not weigh 400 kilograms, they must be at least 350 kilograms. How much will they cost? !
Jiang Yue went from a young boy with a low sense of presence to the center of everyone's attention. Of course he would not let go of this opportunity to show everyone his voice expression ability: "Sister Zhou Min, she is amazing. ! We got there and found the cave where the blue sheep live at night."

The people who went hunting with him this time were not only Zhizhi, who couldn't speak human language, Pingping the little wolf, but also the big tiger.

The only people who could tell the entire hunting process clearly and completely were Zhou Min and Jiang Yue.

Wu Xiaojie only focused on playing with the little monkey. He was not interested in participating in such things.

Zhou Minxin is not here, so the task of publicizing Zhou Min's glorious achievements can naturally only be completed by Jiang Yue.

"Where are Brother Xiaokang and Aju?" Zhou Min stood on tiptoe and looked at the bushes and weeds in the backyard that were taller than people's heads, "Are they still working there?"

"Yes."

Chang Deyu replied while helping to carry the prey, "Xiaokang has been busy building a fence these two days, and now it seems that only the last 20 meters of barbed wire are left, which has not been pulled up yet. Sister Aju went over to help him, It will make work faster this way.”

Zhou Min was not so willing to talk to Chang Deyu, let alone get too close to her.

After hearing what she said, Zhou Min told Chang Deyu with a slight coldness, "Don't worry about the things in the yard for now. Go back to the house and make a fire to cook. Don't procrastinate, you are in a hurry."

Chang Deyu was stunned, "You went hunting this time, and you probably traveled hundreds of miles back and forth, right?

Since you have worked so hard, you should take a good rest. Why rush?Oh, and also, before sister Aju went out, she had already made a big pot of rice, saying that she expected you guys to come back today, so she could start eating quickly. "

Zhou Min thought to herself: It seems that it is Aju who understands me and knows how to prepare the meal in advance to avoid wasting time.

Chang Deyu said again, "Also, sister Aju also made a bowl of mixed noodles, which contained more white flour and less whole wheat flour, and said it was used for pancakes.

Hey, Sister Zhou Min, you said that since Sister Aju has steamed rice, why do you still bake pancakes?Can you eat it all if you make so much at once? "

Zhou Min smiled slightly, lowered his head to work, and said nothing.

Chang Deyu was a little embarrassed because of the fuss.
Aju baked pancakes, naturally letting Han Xiaokang and Zhou Min leave them on the road to eat when they went out to sell sheep, and they could also be used as dry food for tomorrow.

Although Han Xiaokang is not short of money now, he is willing to buy food on the street.

But Ah Ju, who is used to saving, always buys pot helmets, pancakes and the like so that Han Xiaokang can save some money.
But Zhou Min knew these details.

As for Chang Deyu, who had just arrived and had never seen Han Xiaokang and others selling prey, she naturally didn't know about it.

In fact, Zhou Min deliberately dealt with these minor details, so that he could subtly gain some psychological advantage over Chang Deyu.

At the same time, it can also make Chang Deyu understand something very implicitly: here, although everyone is equal, there is no distinction between each other.

But in fact, there are still high and low status, relatives and relatives behind the scenes.
When 3 grasshoppers gather together, they will decide which one is bigger and which one is smaller!
What about the most complicated people?

In the courtyard, under the appearance of joy and bustle, there are actually undercurrents surging.

While they are busy.

After a while, Han Xiaokang and Aju came back.

At this time, Zhou Min, Liu Hongdong, and Zhou Jian, who came over to help, had already processed all four sheep.

There was indeed a lot of prey brought back this time, including a lot of sheep intestines and tripes.

In addition to the mutton liver, Han Xiaokang asked everyone to clean the intestines and stomach, add plenty of salt and marinate them, as a source of meat for everyone in the following days.

The mutton suet is boiled into oil, and the oil residue and mutton fat can be stored for a long time. It is very convenient to store these things and use them for cooking or making suet noodles in the future.

As for what you guys can eat to satisfy your cravings today?
4 sheep heads and 16 sheep hooves are enough for everyone to eat for 2 days!

Wait until these lamb haggis are arranged.

Chang Deyu and Aju entered the house, and Liu Hongdong quietly approached Han Xiaokang with a complicated look in his eyes, "Xiaokang, have you noticed a problem? The two hives seem to have become larger in the past two days?"

Han Xiaokang pretended to be stunned, "No way? You said that chickens and ducks will grow up."

This hive is made of wood, how could it get bigger?Soaked in water? "

Liu Hongdong looked complicated, "Not only has the hive grown larger, but the size of the bees inside has also grown quite a bit. You said that the growth of bees has accelerated, possibly because of the influence of climate and geographical environment, and the lack of food. It's relatively sufficient, so it's still possible.

But Xiaokang, the honeycomb box was neither soaked in water nor widened or thickened, but the overall size became larger for no reason.

Xiaokang, I know that you are actually more knowledgeable than me. Can you tell me what is going on? "

Han Xiaokang shook his head, "I don't know, maybe. Cousin, your eyesight has started to astigmatism, presbyopia, and myopia?"

"Maybe." Liu Hongdong put away the topic, "Forget it, it's really possible that I'm dazzled. Let's go while they are still cooking the sheep's head, and they won't be able to eat for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, let's go see those two hives together? "

Han Xiaokang shook his head and said, "You go ahead. I have to pack things and make some torches and so on. After dinner, I have to go out all night to sell blue sheep."

"OK then."

Liu Hongdong picked up a hoe from under the eaves, "I don't want to look at it anymore. The beehive is right there, and I can't escape. Why don't Zhou Jian and I go to the backyard and help clean up the dirt in the newly reclaimed land?" Crush some of it, then pour manure water over it in two days, so you can transplant some corn or something."

Wait until Liu Hongdong is gone.

Han Xiaokang looked at his back and didn't know what it was like: cousin Liu Hongdong, he was an educated man who had studied in a technical secondary school.

If I wanted to hide it from him, I wouldn't be as easy to deceive as Chang Deyu.

At this time, Liu Hongdong, who was carrying a hoe and walking on the street, actually felt more complicated: strange things happened every year, and this year there were especially many strange things in the mountains.

Liu Hongdong is usually responsible for taking care of the two hive boxes, and Han Xiaokang will occasionally visit them.

But Aju, Zhou Min and Zhou Jian would never get involved.

In other words, only I and Han Xiaokang were in contact with the two hive boxes that I carefully measured with a soft ruler.

Now the hive box has become larger inexplicably?
Of course Liu Hongdong knew that he didn't have that ability, so...
The strange things in the mountains are not limited to this.

Think about it, Han Xiaokang chose to plant corn and sweet potatoes in September?

People in the villages outside the mountain have begun to harvest corn, and the sweet potatoes will need to be dug in a month.

Others are busy harvesting crops, but the seeds have just been planted here?
It is impossible to say that Han Xiaokang doesn't understand anything about Nongsang!
After all, Han Xiaokang has lived in the countryside for so long. Even if he decides how to grow crops, he has at least worked with the adults for so many years and has seen a lot.

If you’ve never eaten pork, at least you’ve seen pigs walking, right?
