Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 177 Selling Rabbit Skins
The couple in the earthen house in the northeast corner did not fight. Wu Weiguo sat on the edge of the kang with arms folded and a cold face. He wanted to see who would dare to stop the old girl today.

Gao Lijuan really couldn't control Old Wu's temper. She also wanted to let the old girl vent her anger, but she was afraid that she would really send him away. Although the family was not short of money, it was not good to talk about it.

A dog was barking outside, and Gao Lijuan hurried to leave, feeling much more at ease. Her son would definitely take care of her daughter when she came home.

Xiao Duzi is sometimes angry, but he understands things in his heart and will not let his daughter burn paper. The couple saw the dog coming home but did not see anyone.

After waiting for a while, they became a little worried, and when they saw the carriage turning around as soon as they went out of the gate, and heard the old girl's "quack", they both heaved a sigh of relief.

The child was frightened, and now she is happy to see her elder brother, so it should be fine. When the carriage approached, Gao Lijuan carefully watched what she was doing.

The little girl stretched her finger at the angry old thief under the cage, and laughed when she touched it. If the old thief didn't snag her hand, she would "quack" happily.

Gao Lijuan waited for the carriage to enter the yard, touched her daughter's head and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Xiaodoubao scratched his head: "What are you afraid of?"

Wu Weiguo said, "Just don't be afraid."

"Are you afraid of old Liu?" Gao Lijuan asked again worriedly.

"I'm not afraid of him." Xiaodoubao patted his pocket: "He gave me ten yuan back!"

Wu Hao explained the matter while unloading the car.

"It's a good job." Gao Lijuan kept nodding after hearing this. In the future, Old Liu would definitely not dare to scare children, and would have to coax her daughter whenever she saw her.

Wu Weiguo is also satisfied that living in a village can't make any enemies. Today he just wanted to tell everyone that it's okay to tease the children, but don't bully his daughter. It's about attitude, not fighting.

The old girl didn't cry softly today, Gao Lijuan touched her head and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Xiaodoubao said without hesitation: "Secondly clever!"

Gao Lijuan rolled her eyes: "Can that thing be eaten?"

Xiaodoubao scratched his head and thought for a long time: "I don't know what happened!"

"I'm used to it!" Gao Lijuan sighed secretly. People eat meat every few days, but this child eats meat almost every meal, which is a bit enough.

Wu Hao looked at his father: "Stew a big fish and eat the fish head."

"How about the big fish head?"

When it comes to eating, someone will answer immediately.

Wu Weiguo nodded: "Our family has no shortage of oil and seasonings. The big fish head is delicious, and I will cook a small chicken for my daughter."

He was afraid that his daughter-in-law would be reluctant, so he deliberately pulled on his daughter. When he chopped the roots of the tree today, he dropped a lot of dirt on the ground.

He raised his foot and kicked it casually, and a little hen was walking three meters away, and the dirt was hitting his head, and the chick flopped when it was loaded.

His father can kill chickens with a wave of his feet!
"My father is so tired!" Xiao Doubao sat in the carriage and looked at the fallen chick in shock, then wiped her saliva: "Second chick."

Gao Lijuan glared at Old Wu, what can I say if the chicken is dead?She took the chick into the house and said: "This chicken is also damned!"

After Wu Hao unloaded the car, he mixed corn noodles with potatoes and put less meat to feed the dog. Dogs can’t eat meat all the time, so they cut some meat for the mink to eat, added fodder for Heifeng, and fed some meat to the two little fat chirps when they entered the house. insect.

During dinner at night, half of the head of a big fish went into the belly of the gluttonous cat. He had to pick a thorn in his mouth. This kid can eat fat meat.

The skin and meat near the fish head are the most delicious. Before he had eaten a few bites, he opened his mouth and said, "Ah~"

This has to pick the fish for others and put it in the bowl.

Chicken head, chicken feet, and chicken wings are the best appetizers for drinking. The father and father share a chicken foot, and Wu Hao will not compete with his father for the chicken head.

The small bean buns are half full and I am going to save my stomach for Jiaqiao. I ate goose legs two days ago, but I am not greedy for chicken legs today.

He just stared at the chicken feet in his father's bowl and asked, "Is it a good time?"

Wu Weiguo replied without thinking: "Children can't write when they eat chicken feet, their hands are like chicken feet."

Xiaodoubao looked down at the little hands and then at the shape of the chicken feet, and hurriedly shook her head: "That's not enough."

Wu Hao just put the chicken feet in the bowl, picked it up and put it in his sister's bowl: "Eat, don't listen to your father fooling you!"

Wu Weiguo tapped the bowl with his chopsticks and asked, "Why did I fool you? What if I can't write?"

"Why can't you write?" Wu Hao raised his eyelids: "I can't afford to support my younger sister?"

"Oh!" Wu Weiguo stared, "Is it amazing to be rich?"

Xiaodoubao put chicken feet in the bowl with chopsticks, and was about to bite, when he heard his father and elder brother quarreling, he was a little afraid to eat, and turned to look at his mother.

"Where are those talking heads? Eat yours!" Gao Lijuan stretched out her chopsticks and took Lao Wu's chicken wings to her daughter: "It's delicious."

If both mother and elder brother said so, she dared to eat it. The temperature of the chicken paws was just right, and it was not the kind of old hen.

The chicken feet of this two- or three-year-old chicken are not fat, but the skin is chewy and delicious. After eating a few bites of small bean buns, you can't stop nodding, and the chopsticks can't hold the chicken feet.

She picked it up with her hands and gnawed on it, and said in her mouth: "My father is unreliable."

Wu Weiguo glared at the two of them. These five words are for the old girl to remember, and she will repeat them next time she eats chicken feet.

The child gnawed on the tendons on the chicken feet after eating the skin, and his baby teeth were quite strong, as if he was born to eat.

The "hmm" in the nose was pulled down hard, similar to that puppy protecting food.

There were only [-] old thieves left, and Wu Hao threw them all into the stove to burn after eating, and the four of them shared the meal and watched TV.

At around 09:30, Xiaodoubao consciously went to bed, and Wu Hao told his parents that he would sell the rabbit skin in two days and go directly to Lao Maozi from the village to ask for a dog.

The couple nodded, and he also went back to the room to lie down, trying not to fall asleep to see if his sister would be scared, and the child would have nightmares if he was scared.

Xiaodoubao really opened his mouth when he fell asleep: "Chicken feet are so good, my father is unreliable."

have to!Wu Hao turned over to sleep, worrying in vain, this child has a characteristic of talking in his sleep.

Just talk about what you want to eat, nothing else.

For four consecutive days, Wu Hao skinned rabbits at home. The smaller the animal, the more difficult it is to skin. Rabbit skins need to be sold for money, so they must be carefully skinned.

Fortunately, his father would help after work, even so his hands were sore, catching a few rabbits plus the time spent on the road and skinning, it is really not as good as going to work to make more money.

Rest at home for a day, drive to the backyard of the g camp hotel in the morning and tell Zhao Yunchang to weigh the venison.

He carried the rabbit skin to the leather collection counter of the G camp store. He was still a fat salesperson before. After she checked the skins, she began to quote.

"Rabbit skins with a lot of damage and small size cost [-] cents, white leathers cost [-] yuan, and the rest are [-] yuan."

"Calculate." Wu Hao nodded. If this kind of small leather can not be sold at a high price, it depends on accumulating a lot. Those rabbits in the pasture need to be caught for several years.

It is even more difficult to catch without Talia. You can't make a lot of money selling rabbit skins, and you can't do without catching rabbits.

The fat salesman wrote down the number of leathers on the paper, took the abacus and scratched it, muttering: "Five pieces of pure white, 42 pieces of large leather, and [-] pieces of small leather."

"A total of 67 yuan."

Wu Hao took the ticket and went to the side to withdraw money. The largest rabbit was five or six catties, and the smallest was more than two catties. The size difference was double, and the leather size must be twice the difference, so the price would naturally be halved.

He threw away one that was bitten by a magpie, and the remaining 77 rabbits were only sold for 67 yuan.

Wu Hao returned to the backyard of the G camp hotel with good money and saw Zhao Yunchang waiting, he was a little dissatisfied and said: "How can we two brothers still have an errand? Let alone a few catties, just open your mouth and I will send you this deer." .”

Zhao Yunchang laughed hastily and said: "We brothers don't need to say much, but one size is worth one size. If you want it, you'd better calculate it face-to-face when calculating the money, so that we both feel comfortable in our hearts."

Wu Hao waved his hand: "Let's not talk too much, brothers."

"Okay!" Zhao Yunchang agreed with a smile, and went down with him to put the meat on the scale.

The kind consisting of a scale beam with a scale star, a metal weight, a lifting rope, a weighing pan, etc. is a hand scale, which cannot weigh too heavy things.

Now Zhao Yunchang uses a platform scale, also called a pound scale, which is very fast for weighing large animals.

The price of 700 cents is the price of pure meat. The head, bones and internal organs of more than 280 catties are removed, and some are kept at home, weighing only [-] catties.

After weighing it, Zhao Yunchang took out 140 yuan and said, "Brother, it's better to get a deer. Some people want to eat it during the Chinese New Year."

"I'll definitely send it to you when I get the call." Wu Hao originally planned not to go into the mountains before the year, but he promised to give someone a thousand catties of venison, so he had to go.

"I'm just saying, if you don't have any, just pull it down." Zhao Yunchang waved his hand, and wild boars and roe deer were brought over. He knew that the number of deer this year was very small. This was the first venison he received, so he couldn't embarrass others.

"I'll talk about it when I get back. Brother Zhao, do you know the director of the small winery in our township?" Wu Hao planned to buy some wine and go to Lao Maozi.

Even if it's not the new year, you can't go there empty-handed, at least buy some wine for the big driver.
