Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

However, Song Shiwei could not bear working on the three acres of land anymore, so he put down his hoe decisively and sweated on the ground. He took some clean clothes and took a nice shower, and finally left the space to sleep.

In the next few days, Zhang Wu and Huang Ying first planted the crops in the fields, and then Zhang Wu went into the mountains to hunt. During the hunt, he hunted a wild boar and several pheasants and took them to the provincial capital to sell them. He used the money to buy some food, oil, salt and other items. The second time, Zhang Wu hunted a deer and several wild rabbits, cut off the antlers and left them for Song Shiwei, and the wild rabbits for Liu Jiali to eat, and took the rest to the provincial capital to exchange for silver.

After finishing the work in the fields, Huang Ying had accumulated a certain number of embroidered purse handkerchiefs. The next day, she asked Zhang Wu to take her to the city to sell them. Because the material was good, the price given by the shop was much higher than before. Fifteen handkerchiefs and six purses were exchanged for ten taels of silver.

On the way back, Huang Ying was delighted as she held the purse filled with silver. If it had been in the past when she suddenly had such a large sum of silver, the whole family would have been happy. However, compared to the fact that Zhang Wu's one-day hunt in the mountains yielded more than what she had earned in more than a month of hard work, her joy was instantly reduced a lot.

People are more infuriating than people.

However, this could not dampen Huang Ying's passion for embroidery. After all, ten taels of silver were still very heavy, and it would be a considerable amount in the money box.

This went on for a few days. Originally, some villagers were still talking about Zhang Wu's family only opening up two acres of land. But later, when they saw that he often hunted wild animals and brought them into the city to exchange for money, the gossip finally stopped.

That day, Zhang Wu had just returned from visiting Song Da and others in the provincial capital, and Wu Dahai came to his house before he even sat down on the bench.

"Sister-in-law, I'm embroidering. Is Zhang Wu home?"

Huang Ying was sitting outside the main room embroidering in the sun, feeling warm all over. She almost pricked her finger when she heard the voice. Seeing that it was Wu Dahai, she quickly put down her needlework and said with a smile, "Brother Dahai is here, Zhang Wu is in the room."

"Okay, sister-in-law, you are busy, I will go find him myself." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Zhang Wu coming out of the main hall. Wu Dahai was immediately happy: "It seems that you just got home, and you went to the city to sell wild animals again?"

Zhang Wu nodded and invited the person into the main room, then poured a bowl of boiled water for Wu Dahai: "What do you want from me?"

"What else could it be? Recently everyone in the village has been talking about you going into the mountains to hunt. I just finished my housework and rushed to find you. I'm just sitting around doing nothing at home anyway, so you can call me along some other day. We two brothers can go into the mountains together so that we can look after each other. Who knows, we might catch something big."

Zhang Wu smiled and said, "You think big game is so easy to hunt? It's good enough to hunt wild boars."

Wu Dahai took a sip of water and said, "The harvest has been bad in recent years, and the wild animals in the mountains are not strong enough to sell at a high price. We still need big products, which are rare. The masters in the city like big products. I definitely can't do it alone, so I want to ask your opinion. If you think it's okay, we can go to the mountains in two days."

Zhang Wu frowned and thought about Wu Dahai's words. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go into the mountains in two days and see what happens."

"It's all settled with your words. I'll go back and pack my things first. We'll go into the mountains the day after tomorrow morning. You can also tell my sister-in-law. If we meet them, that's great. If not, we can hunt something else."

"it is good."

Wu Dahai came here just to talk to Zhang Wu about going into the mountains to hunt together. Zhang Wu was the best fighter in the village, and if he and the others encountered a big game, they would have no choice but to run for their lives.

After seeing Wu Dahai off, Zhang Wu came back and told Huang Ying about this. Seeing her worried face, Zhang Wu patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you know me. If you can't beat me, I'll run away. If I'm not back before dinner, you can go to the master's place and rest for a night. I'm worried about you being alone at home."

Huang Ying glared at him and said, "You don't trust me, but I don't trust you either. Brother Dahai is careless. He only thinks about the high price of big goods, but doesn't think that ten people can hunt that big goods. Anyway, I don't care. I agree that you go to the mountains, but don't focus on hunting big goods. Come back early."

"Okay, I know. If you can't find me, come back early. If you do, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll run away. You take a break first. I'll go talk to the master."

Huang Ying looked at Zhang Wu's back as he walked out the door and sighed softly.

Zhang Wu had already come to Song Shiwei and told him about going into the mountains with Wu Dahai to hunt the next day. Then he thought of the performance of Song Da and the other two during this period and said, "Song Da is very talented in studying. Now Song Er and Song San can't catch up with him. I can't teach him more, so I can only give him a few books to study on his own."

"Song Er is practicing the boxing and kicking skills that my subordinates taught him. He has learned them quite well. I will ask him to use a knife after a while. As for Song San, I have observed him these days and he is very interested in medical books, nothing else."

"Oh, by the way, this is the news in the city today. Song Dadu has written it down. Master, please take a look."

Song Shiwei took the note from Zhang Wu, read it quickly, and then put it on the table: "I think you taught them very well, and they all have their own strengths. I will reward each of them with one or two taels of silver."

Zhang Wu smiled implicitly: "It's also their own efforts. After going through hardships, they know that today's life is not easy to come by, so they are desperately trying to grasp it. I plan to go to the city next time to ask them what they think. What do you think, Master?"

"Then go and ask them. If they are willing to take the loyalty pill, I will arrange their future path for them. If not, then just maintain the status quo."

"Yes, I will explain it to them clearly," Zhang Wu said with a smile, "The master gave them money before because he was afraid that they would not want to follow him. Even if they are no longer needed in the future, at least they still have money in their hands, so they don't have to go back to being beggars."

Song Shiwei glanced at him and said unhappily, "Do you think I'm a good person? If you don't do your job carefully, you will be punished. If you do it well, you will be rewarded."

"Yes, my subordinate said the wrong thing."

Thinking of what Zhang Wu said about going into the mountains to hunt, Song Shiwei couldn't help but frown: "Be careful when you go to the mountains, and run away if something goes wrong."

"Master, rest assured. I will be careful. The momentum is not just because of Brother Dahai. I haven't encountered big guys like bears and tigers for a long time. I want to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I can still retreat unscathed."

"Just make sure you know what's going on."

"I understand. How about cooking the wild rabbit we hunted a few days ago tonight? I see that the master likes to eat rabbit meat. How about stir-frying it?"

The stir-fried diced rabbit was so delicious that Song Shiwei wanted to eat it right now when she thought of the taste, but she nodded reservedly: "Let's make it tonight, and leave the rabbit skin for Huang Ying."

Zhang Wu laughed again when he heard this: "Master, you also heard her say that day that she wanted to use rabbit skin to make shoes for you."

Song Shiwei rolled her eyes. "I don't have money or something. Do I need that pair of shoes? I just saw that she liked it. It's useless for me to take it. You hunted the rabbit, so it's only right for you to give it to her. Do you have anything else to say? If not, go back quickly."
