After lunch, Mao Xiaosui killed a rabbit and simmered it. When he woke up, the rabbit meat was already rotten.

She put it into a bowl, took three pairs of chopsticks and two babies and started eating.

After eating, I took the eggs and fed some food to the rabbits and chickens in the backyard. After waiting for the sunspots to arrive, I locked the door and went to the mountain to dig for fungi.

Most of the women in the village are collecting beans at the moment, and the men in the village are not idle either.

Mao Xiaosui heard that Wang Jin and Wang Zhong seemed to be there not far away.

She walked far to the other side to dig, and returned after digging half a basket.

Going down the mountain, the Lin family was busy at the venue. Yuan Xiaochun asked with a smile, "Has your family also bought a donkey?"

Mao Xiaosui immediately understood that this meant Li Yunshan was back.

She hurried home and Li Yunshan fell asleep lying on the kang.

The two children were not sleeping, but they were squatting on the ground beside the kang, playing, and their voices were small.

When he saw her coming in, he immediately rushed over to her, pointed at Li Yunshan who was sleeping on the kang and said, "Daddy is back."

Mao Xiaosui put his hand to his mouth and made a "shh" gesture, pointed outward, and led them out.

Asked in a low voice, "Daddy, are you back for dinner?"

The two nodded and pointed to the house, "Dad ate the cake that mother gave us."

Mao Xiaosui would prepare food for them every day when he went out, either eggs, cakes, or meat.

It's not much, just enough for two babies to pad their bellies, but it wouldn't even be enough for Li Yunshan to pad his belly.

There was leftover rabbit meat in the kitchen today. Li Yunshan didn't go in because she was probably very sleepy, so she didn't yell and just played in the yard with her two children.

She waited until the sun was about to set before she got up and went to the backyard to feed the livestock. At the same time, she saw Li Yunshan's donkey tied to the pepper tree.

It looks much taller than the Lin family's. It doesn't look like a donkey, but a horse? Li Yunshan bought a horse?

As she expected, some vegetables close to the pepper tree were eaten.

She didn't care and threw some of the grass she had pulled out for the rabbit to feed.

I threw some to the pigs and saved some for feeding in the morning. When I was feeding the chickens, I found that the hair had grown again in the area where she had previously plucked it. I thought that I would be able to pluck it out again in a few days.

After feeding Mao Xiaosui, he picked a handful of beans and returned to the front yard.

The two children in the room were playing on the floor again. Li Yunshan was still sleeping deeply. After thinking about it for a while, she killed two rabbits and made stewed rice.

There are more and more female rabbits in the house. Every two months, thousands of little rabbits come out of the nest. Even if they eat every day, there are still a lot of rabbits in the pen.

At this time, the female rabbits have cubs all year round, so they can only kill the male rabbits. The female rabbits cannot be killed until the winter is cold.

She was not as meticulous as Li Yunshan in killing the rabbit. She chopped off the rabbit's head for Heizi to eat, chopped off the limbs, skinned it, and then disembowelled it.

It's not that she doesn't like rabbit heads, it's just that they are too difficult to peel off.

Clean up the rabbit meat, chop it, wash it and fry it.

There was no rice in the grain tank in the kitchen. She went to dig in the grain room and saw a white bag on the ground. It was half filled with something. When she opened it, she found that it was white rice.

She was a little surprised. Those rabbit skins were sold for a lot of money? You can actually buy so many things.

She originally wanted to dig millet but ended up digging a bowl of white rice.

Don't braise the rabbit meat, pour it directly into the pot and steam it.

I fried some green beans and steamed an egg.

She shouted for dinner, and soon heard Li Ruyi and Li Ankang calling Li Yunshan.

After putting the food on the table, Li Yunshan came out after a while.

She didn't make soup, and there was a bowl of honey water next to Li Yunshan's rice bowl.

Li Yunshan took a few sips and then asked, "Have you seen the mule?"

Mao Xiaosui understood clearly. She only knew that mules were the product of horses and donkeys, but she had never seen them before and thought they were horses.

"I saw it, how much money?"

"Twenty-three taels."

"So expensive?" Mao Xiaosui murmured, "This is more expensive than a piece of land."

"Mules are more powerful than donkeys." Li Yunshan said with a smile, "Twenty-three taels, just twenty-three taels, I can buy whatever I want."

Mao Xiaosui nodded, "Is rabbit skin easy to sell?"

"In general, it's a coincidence. The big fabric stores in the county sell fox furs and so on. Naturally, they also sell rabbit furs. They probably lowered the price because I didn't look good in clothes. They wanted me to sell them to them for seventy or eighty coppers. . I visited most of the fabric stores in the county, but only one offered me ninety-five dollars and wanted to do long-term business with me."

"I didn't even plan to sell it, but I met the salesman who came to our place last time. He took all the money and asked me to take the leather to Fulai Restaurant to find the four pockmarked ones in the future, but the price is not so high anymore. One penny."

"The price is the same as the town." Mao Xiaosui said.

Li Yunshan: "It is also beneficial. The town may not collect that much. He collects as much as he can."

Mao Xiaosui was still puzzled, "Do their salesmen also collect rabbit skins? It's not fox skins. Don't they feel heavy when you carry them?"

"They came here specifically to collect skins last time. Although rabbit skins are not as valuable as fox skins, they are still skins. They are priceless in our small place, but they may be more expensive in comparison places. They will not let themselves lose money after all."

Mao Xiaosui thought about this and said, "Did you also buy white rice?"

"I bought it after buying the mule, by the way." Li Yunshan said, "The officials will come tomorrow. I will go to Brother Ding's house to borrow some money in the morning."

"Sure." Mao Xiaosui nodded. Although all the money was spent, luckily I got a mule, which was considered a good thing.

Mao Xiaosui wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing the way Li Yun was devouring his food, he was probably hungry, so he had to let him eat first.

After eating and washing the pot, she was about to close the door and go to sleep. She kicked Heizi out and watched.

Li Yunshan was already asleep in the room, and the two babies were holding him on the left and right, looking very clingy.

_

As soon as it was dawn, Li Yunshan rode a mule to Ding's house after dinner. Mao Xiaosui had already returned after finishing haying.

He said, "I guess the officials will arrive at noon. I'll kill a few rabbits and you'll make a meal for me." Then he said, "Let's make noodles. Don't touch the rice."

Mao Xiaosui went to roll the dough first. Li Yunshan put the three prepared rabbits in the basin and went out. After a while, there was a strange voice outside.

She first chopped up the rabbits and fried them, dug out pots of mushrooms and fried them, and the rest was cooking noodles. Just when she wanted to see if they were okay, someone came in.

Li Yunshan called her, "Hurry and prepare food."

The other two men hurriedly said, "No, no, we'll just drink water."

The water in the pot was almost boiling. Mao Xiaosui put the noodles in and called out to Li Yunshan.

Ask “Where to eat?”

Li Yunshan took the dishes to the main room, and Mao Xiaosui scooped the noodles into the basin and took them too.

The people from the official family in Li Yunshan Pass don't seem to be very vicious people, and they are quite polite.

Mao Xiaosui put the noodles on the table and left, taking the child with him to the kitchen.

When the people from Guan's family were leaving after dinner, Li Yunshan also had to follow them to get the land deed and go through other formalities.

Mao Xiaosui cleaned up the house, fed the mule and went to bed.

Li Yunshan did not come back at night, and the two children were not as restless as the night before. She explained it once and finally understood that her father would be back tomorrow. She felt relieved and lay down on the kang and fell asleep.
