Chapter 135: Survival in the Drought Year (25)

"Well, two meals are fine."

Hey, Su Ning raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked at Cheng Yongxu intently, "Did you speak just now?"

Cheng Yongxu frowned, and hummed lightly, but his ears were red as if he had a fever, which made Suning very worried.

"Okay!" Suning responded with a smile, feeling relieved.

She is a super chef, and there are many people who want to eat her cooking. She can conquer the stomach of the administrator of the plane, which shows that her craftsmanship can be mixed even in the interstellar. Congratulations!

At this time, Grandpa's voice was heard from far away, and Suning's eyes lit up, as if smelling a faint fishy smell, and when he went out, he saw that Grandpa was really holding two long fish in his hand.

Suning held back the saliva and took the fish. The fish had been dissected and cleaned. I don't know if it was caused by wild fish. I always felt that the fishy smell was strong. No wonder people here don't like fish.

She found a pot and marinated it with salt, ginger, and green onions. After the fire was raised, she pierced the ginger with twigs, and filled the fish belly with ginger slices and green onions. I hope it won’t be too fishy when it’s baked. up.

While grilling, smear ginger juice and green onion paste on the fish skin, and brush a layer of honey when it is half-cooked. At this time, the fish skin is crispy and crispy, and there is no fishy smell at all. With a faint sweet scent, the four grandpas regretted it immediately.

Not long after the two fishes were cooked, Suning gave one to grandpa first, but grandpa didn't want it, it was originally for coaxing the children, grandpa didn't want it, other grandpas were even more embarrassed to ask for it.

This is exactly what Suning wanted. She gave one of the fish to Cheng Yongxu, and she took the other one in her hand. She tore two pieces of fish and fed them to her grandpa. At first, grandpa only regretted it a little, but now he regretted it a lot. I should have known The fish can still be so delicious, so he will catch more fish no matter what, secretly making up his mind that he must eat them tomorrow.

The fragrance spread to the fire on Chen Erhu's side along with the wind. He had just eaten, and somehow he smelled this smell as if he was hungry again. Holding the grilled fish, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

I called a few people to touch the fish, and when I came back, I also put it on the fire, but who knew that it smelled fishy from the beginning to the end, let alone eating it, I couldn't stand the smell, so I had no choice but to throw it away. I muttered to myself: I don’t know how it is so delicious over there.

Those who are quick-minded have also discovered that the food there seems to be more delicious than the food here these two days.

On the opposite side who were envied by them, Suning and Cheng Yongxu finally finished eating their fish. Suning hiccupped helplessly and leaned sleepily on Grandpa's body.

……

Besides, Old Uncle Yu and Lao Die traveled all the way in a hurry, and they still didn't enter the village until nearly midnight.

The few people did not separate immediately, but took the two wild boars into the yard of the Li family. The yard of the Li family happened to be on the easternmost side, near the mountain.

In the middle of the night, grandma and my mother were terrified by the ringing. When they heard the voice of the old man, they let out a sigh of relief and opened the door.

The two of them were also very happy to see the two wild boars. Although they couldn't compare to the money they had for a single wild boar before, didn't they just enter the mountain for two days?
What makes my mother even more happy is that her daughter is doing well, and she really followed her into the mountain secretly.

In addition to the two wild boars, the old man also poured out two roe deer and a hare from the back basket, which he met on the way back.

After putting down their things, Uncle Gouwa, Uncle Da Zhuang, and Dad hurriedly cleaned up the wild boars without taking a break. They would be sold in the county town at dawn. As for the town, they couldn't eat two wild boars at once.

After packing up, it was almost dawn. After eating the meal cooked by grandma and old lady, the rest went back to each house to say hello, and borrowed a scooter in the village. Old Uncle Yu and Shuan Zi, who had had a rest before Uncle drove an ox cart to the county seat.

The father and the three can finally rest, and they will return to Dagou Mountain together when Uncle Yu comes back.

It was already sunset when the old man woke up. He was awakened by the news that Uncle Yu and Uncle Shuanzi came back. The two wild boars were sold for 12 taels of silver. On average, each person can share at least one tael of silver.

However, because the father shot two arrows at one of them, they caught it quickly. Therefore, the first one was divided according to the head. Grandpa and Uncle Yu did not participate. A total of six people participated in catching wild boars, each with one tael of silver.

But at the second end, Old Uncle Yu made the decision and gave two taels to Dad, and four taels were shared equally by the remaining people.

In this way, the father earned three taels of silver this trip, which made grandma and old mother very happy, and now the family has eight taels of silver.

However, the two were still very worried. They were lucky not to be injured this time, but it didn't mean they were always lucky.

At this moment, the village was full of people, and there seemed to be a lot of people running and shouting outside, as if they could vaguely hear a tiger or something?

Grandma simply opened the door, grabbed a middle-aged man who was running past the door and asked, "What are you running for? What's wrong with the village?"

The half-sized man struggled with his arms, "Grandma Li, don't you know, Uncle Erhu and the others went into the mountain to shoot a tiger this time, and everyone went to see it. I have never seen a tiger before. Let me go and see it." Look, if you go late, you won't like it, and you have to drag it to the county overnight!"

Grandma let go of her hand, and the people behind the door had heard it, and they couldn't help but envy Chen Erhu's luck that he really let him hit a tiger.

The old man even whispered that if he hadn't been knocked unconscious by the old man, the tiger would have been a part of him, and was kicked on the ass by the grandma, "You just saw the tiger, do you know how many people died?"

Dad didn't dare to chew anymore.

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Chen Erhu and Datou personally came to invite them to watch the tiger.

The old man went there excitedly, and called his grandmother an idiot. He just picked up the stick and wanted to bring the old man back, but he was stopped by Uncle Yu, and he called several other people to go to the village chief's house to see tiger.

Seeing Old Uncle Yu coming, Chen Erhu was not to mention how happy he was, he was so high-spirited and proud, he personally took Old Uncle Yu to introduce this tiger, and reproduced their fight against the tiger in detail, which attracted the cheers of the surrounding people, which made Chen Erhu He became more and more complacent.

Old Uncle Yu knocked his pipe on the tree trunk, smiled and said nothing.

……

The itinerary, which was originally scheduled to start early the next morning, became urgent because Chen Erhu and the others returned with the tiger.

Even poor people have the desire to compare themselves. Compared with a tiger that can sell for a few hundred taels, a tael of silver, which was thought to be quite a lot, is not enough. Especially the sight of the villagers made Shuanzi and the others feel a little embarrassed. It seemed that they were less useful than Chen Erhu.

Therefore, under the strong request of Shuanzi, Gouwa and others, the itinerary was set after dinner.
