sell roe deer

"Is this...too much?" He didn't know how much this ingot of silver was, but the roe deer only weighed a few dozen catties.Although the roe deer tastes good, Ye Xiaofeng really didn't expect to sell it for so much money.

Although the game is good, it can be found in the mountains, and the price is not as high as that of pork and mutton. Even if a catty is 25 yuan according to the price of pork, dozens of catties of roe deer are worth a penny.

A hanging coin is one tael of silver. Although the weight of the few silver ingots in his hand is unknown, they are obviously more than one tael of silver.

"You don't have to refuse, little brother. I offended you with my words just now, and this little money should be used as an apology." The young man clasped his fists at Ye Xiaofeng's brothers and sisters, "I took this roe deer away, and my uncle's house is holding the family at the entrance of the village. You can come and play with me when you have time."

The young man was a bit older than Ye Xiaofeng, and he was dressed as a warrior, so his strength was indeed much stronger than Ye Xiaofeng's.A roe deer was about to leave as soon as it carried it on its shoulder.

"Please wait a moment!" Ye Xiaofeng took out an empty bag from Lan'er's back basket, and poured a small half of the mushrooms he picked into it. "Young master, you can stew these mushrooms with this roe deer, the taste will be even better."

It was really too much money, which made him feel quite sorry.With these few ingots of silver, I can buy a few more catties of pork in a while.

"This...thank you, little brother, just now I thought you made that expression on purpose just to ask me for more money, it seems that I am treating a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain!" The boy's face Embarrassment appeared on his face, and he didn't notice Ye Xiaofeng's stiffness when he took the small half bag of mushrooms, "Brother Xian must come and play with me!"

The young man strode away, leaving only Ye Xiaofeng blushing.It never occurred to me that I thought I was brilliant, but I was seen through long ago. If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't bear to send the mushroom out for a while, this person today would be a big loser.Only now did Ye Xiaofeng realize that he was still a little conceited.Seeing how these places are so backward in food and clothing, I feel that I am smart and superior to others, but I didn't expect his little tricks to be worth mentioning at all.Fortunately, the people here are quite generous, knowing that he had such a plan, they still gave him more money.

"Brother?" Lan'er pushed Ye Xiaofeng who was standing stupidly. Seeing that this roe deer can be sold for so much money, she couldn't hide her excitement for a long time.In her opinion, if she can get so much money by eating less meat, then she would rather not eat meat. "Brother, didn't you just say that you were going to sell this roe deer, why were you unhappy when they wanted to buy it?"

Ye Xiaofeng was speechless for a while.If it was the previous moment, he would have to answer, how could he sell at a high price if he didn't do this.But now that the young man pointed it out, even though he had the cheek to say that, he couldn't say it, so he had to pull Lan'er's sleeve. "It's getting late, let's go back early."

Just now, the brothers and sisters just ate pancakes and drank some water, and padded their stomachs a little bit. Speaking of which, I really felt a little tired and hungry.Although there are pancakes in their arms, neither brother nor sister really want to eat them.

Even if there were no roe deer, the brothers and sisters still felt that their legs were tired and a little numb when they arrived at the entrance of the village.Ye Xiaofeng was chased by the roe deer in the woods for countless distances, and it was not easy for Lan'er to find him. After careful calculation, the road he walked in the forest was actually comparable to the round trip up the mountain.

Father Ye felt relaxed at home. Seeing that the firewood in the stove could be burned for a while, he thought of meeting them at the entrance of the village.Unexpectedly, the two little brothers and sisters were really welcomed by him. Seeing the two children so tired, Father Ye felt uncomfortable.Silently, he forcibly took off the two panniers, and carried them on his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.If it weren't for the lack of space on his shoulders, he would have wanted to carry the two children together.

Brother and sister Ye Xiaofeng didn't object at all. Firstly, this was Father Ye's way of expressing his father's love, and secondly, they really had no energy left.

The two brothers and sisters entered the house with heavy steps and sat on the kang. Although they were thirsty and hungry, they didn't want to move while lying on the kang. Father Ye poured two bowls of warm water for them to drink.

"Why have you been here for so long?" Although it is a bit far up the mountain from that trail, wild vegetables naturally grow more and grow better in places where there are few people, and the children grew up at the foot of the mountain. Father is not worried.But compared to the last time, they came back much later this time, with only one son and one daughter by his side, how could he not be worried.

"Father, we caught a roe deer." Lan'er suddenly became energetic when she thought of the roe deer.

"Roe deer?" Unlike Lan'er, Father Ye's first reaction was nervous. "Xiaofeng, what's the matter with the injury on your head?"

Although the roe deer is not a ferocious beast, it runs extremely fast and is good at running in a straight line. It would be unbearable to be chased and bumped by him.He didn't think that his thin children would take the initiative to provoke such a big prey. If they caught a rabbit, it was still possible to pick up a wild egg, not to mention that such a big prey would weigh hundreds of catties just a few times. If there is no special hunting attack, even adults cannot easily subdue it.

Father Ye saw the wound on Ye Xiaofeng's head open, and immediately thought that it might be injured by a roe deer, so he hurried to get the bottle of potion left by Ye Xiaofeng.

After carefully cleaning up Ye Xiaofeng's wound and applying the medicine, Father Ye's nervous eyes fixed on Lan'er for a moment, "Lan'er, are you injured?"

"Father, I'm fine." Lan'er shook her head, she blamed herself a little, knowing that her brother was injured, she even forgot to get medicine to apply to him after she entered the door.

"It's fine, it's fine." Father Ye looked at Ye Xiaofeng up and down, and found that apart from his forehead, there were some scratches on his calf, and he didn't even need to take medicine, so he was relieved. "Don't go so far to the top of the mountain next time, there are a lot of wild vegetables on the slope behind our village."

Father Ye felt that he was at least three years older after being frightened by the brothers and sisters, so he couldn't help sighing.As for the matter of hitting the roe deer, he had already thrown it out of the sky.

The brothers and sisters rested for a while, got up from the kang, Ye Xiaofeng handed the three silver ingots to Father Ye, Lan'er poured the contents of the basket into the wooden basin, and poured the mushrooms from the cloth bag into the wooden basin. side.

"Lan'er doesn't need to clean up the vegetables, let's turn off the steamer." Ye Xiaofeng told Father Ye about the origin of the silver ingot, and told Lan'er not to start.

Lan'er responded, and turned around to help the firewood in the large stove for steaming soybeans be stamped out.

"Xiaofeng, are you saying that the money was sold for that roe deer?" Father Ye trembled a little while holding the money in his hand, not because he was excited to sell so much money, but because he was afraid.How big a roe deer must be to be able to sell so much silver, I imagine how scared the Xiaofeng brothers and sisters were at that time. "You are not allowed to go to the mountains in the future!"

"Huh?" Ye Xiaofeng was taken aback.Why did his father react so differently when he saw Qian?

"It's too dangerous, I'm not allowed to go to the mountains in the future." Father Ye hugged his son into his arms, tears almost fell down, what should he do if something happened to the child whom he loves dearly.

"Father, you misunderstood." Ye Xiaofeng recounted how he met the roe deer, how he dragged him back, and how he met the boy who was sold out, but he deliberately skipped the part where he was chased by the roe deer. The reason why my father forbade them to go to the mountains again was because he was afraid that they would be in danger, but the mountains were full of treasures, and he made his fortune by pointing to the rich produce in the mountains, how could he give up so easily.

"So that's it." Father Ye felt relieved a little, "It's still too dangerous, if..."

"Don't worry, Dad. We're just picking some wild vegetables at the mountain pass. No matter how deep it is, we won't go in. And the wild vegetables there are much more tender than those on the slope behind the village. Although it's farther away, there's no reason to give up in vain."

After reassuring Father Ye, Ye Xiaofeng lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the soybeans steaming on the stove.In fact, steaming the soybeans for an hour is enough, but Ye Xiaofeng was afraid that the firepower would not be enough to steam them through, so he had already steamed them for more than two hours.

Sure enough, the soybeans had been completely steamed. Ye Xiaofeng carefully took out the soybeans and dried them on the chopping board. He asked Father Ye for more than a dozen Wen, and asked Lan'er to go to a big family in the village to distribute two catties of white flour.

Ye Xiaofeng only knew that the soybeans should be mixed with flour, but he didn't know if black flour was acceptable. To be conservative, he decided to spend a little money.

Waiting for Lan'er to come back, Father Ye returned the three small silver ingots to Ye Xiaofeng.

"Father?" In fact, Ye Xiaofeng also wanted to discuss with Father Ye for one ingot for a while, because Father Ye said that this ingot is one or two, and the quality is still very good.One tael of silver is a thousand dollars, enough for him to support this small business.

But Father Ye actually gave him all the money, which was a bit unexpected.

"Xiaofeng, father has not fulfilled his responsibilities and fulfilled your mother's expectation to let you live a good life. Now that you have made money by fighting your own way, how can you have the cheek to ask for it?" Father Ye's words were indeed from the heart He is not those shameless parents who want to hold all the money their children earn in their own hands.And he also discovered that if the money was given to Ye Xiaofeng, there might be a lot of development.

"How about it, Dad, I don't need this money for the time being, you give me one ingot, and you keep the other two ingots for me first." Ye Xiaofeng only produced one of the ingots, and the two silver coins will come in handy.

"That's fine." Father Ye turned around and put away the money, but he didn't hide his back from his son, obviously telling Ye Xiaofeng that he could take it anytime he wanted.

"Father, I have to trouble you with something." Ye Xiaofeng was a little embarrassed. He was a child and wanted to order adults to work.

"What's the matter?"

"You have to go to the butcher to buy some meat later. Tonight I want to make something called dumplings. By the way, I will exchange this money for copper coins. It is not convenient for me to take out this money as a child." Ye Xiaofeng was a little embarrassed, bowed his head and continued Playing with the soybeans in his hands.

"Dumplings, I haven't eaten them for many years. Your mother made them when she was alive. It's rare for you to remember them." Father Ye nodded. Going to buy meat, is there anything else you want to buy?"

Ye Xiaofeng thought for a while, "Father bought a few more catties of meat, and then bought back all the offal. After changing the change, I will take my sister to the town for a while."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Father Ye simply took the money and the basket and went out.Seeing Ye's father go out, Ye Xiaofeng showed a thoughtful expression, so this place has dumplings, seeing Lan'er's appearance today, I thought this place had never had such things.That being the case, this place is more similar to the world he lived in before, but why is this diet so backward?

Without allowing Ye Xiaofeng to think too much, Lan'er pouted and walked in the door.
