The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family Chapter 435

  Chapter 435 Xiao Er's Heart and Eyes (two chapters in one)

  Yan Yu learned a lesson this time.

  She and Uncle Qi were not willing to eat the sheep all the way, so they wiped snow over and over again to keep it frozen, fearing it would break, but they still did something wrong in the end.

   Sheep are not bled, and the flesh is red.

  Nurse Rong soaked it in cold water to remove the fishy smell.

   It's **** and hawthorn again, and it's watered over and over again. Finally, it's fried with green onions to barely remove the fishy smell of mutton.

  People from the village came to buy meat, and Da Ya also explained to them that the two sheep had not been bled when they died, and the smell was fishy, ​​and there were many bubbles.

   Even so, the big guys still want to buy some. The mutton snatched from the other side of the mountain has an unusual name, and the taste is second.

   These two sheep, Yan Yu dare not sell them expensively, five cents a catty.

  The sheep look big, and the layer of sheepskin is removed, which is similar to that of a goat. There is not much meat. Your family has two catties, and my family has one catty. Each family in the village will share a share, so there is not much left.

   The rest was paid by the butcher Guan. These families who settled down in Xiao'an Village later had poor family backgrounds. Although the taste was bad, it was cheap.

   As soon as Qi Si left the door of Yan's house, Village Chief Luo blocked him. He followed him all the way home, watched him eat, and took him back to his home directly after eating.

  Qi Si was in a hurry and didn't dare to eat more. Mrs. Qi felt sorry for him, so she picked out all the steamed buns left in the pot, wrapped them up and sent them to Qi Da.

   Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.

  Mr. Luo has always known that the three brothers of the Qi family can eat, but is this a bit too much?

  The Qi family's meal is really heroic, and they serve it directly.

  Two pots of steamed buns, stacked high, and two pots of vegetables, one pot is the same as the Yan family, fried mutton with green onions, and a pot of stewed Chinese cabbage, the three brothers of the Qi family cooked rice.

   Village Chief Luo felt in a trance that no one except the three of them seemed to have moved their chopsticks.

  As soon as the front foot entered his house, Qi Da sent steamed buns to the back foot.

   Seeing Qi Si take out the steamed buns and eat them, is this not full?

  At this moment, Village Chief Luo felt that it was not easy for the old girl of the Qi family!

   Looking at my son and grandson again, it's pleasing to the eye...

  He brought people home, but it was hard for them to choke on steamed buns, so Village Chief Luo asked the eldest daughter-in-law to weigh two dishes.

  If the former Qi Si had resolutely listened to his mother, he would definitely not move his chopsticks.

  But after staying with Xiao Er for a long time, Qi Si also learned something.

  He thanked Village Chief Luo and planned to buy more meat from Luo San in the future.

  In the final analysis, the three brothers of the Qi family are just sincere and slow to react, not stupid, and they can figure out some things when they think about it slowly.

  Qi Si didn't know where to come to an agreement, so Village Chief Luo asked a question, and he answered it.

  Yan Yu's side is a different scene.

  She can stand up to several people, and that is called a lifelike, full of voice and emotion.

   After a while on the kang, I will perform a lying motionless in the snow, and then strike out with thunder, and run away with the calf...

  In a while, I will use the hair-tying scarf to cover the heads of Gouzhuo and Maomao...

  Maomao avoided it in distaste, clinging to it and cooperating tightly, imitating the appearance of a cow and keeping still, and putting its ears back as far as possible, so that the square scarf can be put on more conveniently...

   Now Yan Yu started talking about the scene in the mountains.

"...there is snow on the ground, and there are some wild animals in the mountains. I can see them clearly. Uncle Qi and I dare not sleep. There are still wolves howling at night, but fortunately, it sounds far away. , never really encountered.

Mom, guess what, there are still mushrooms in the mountains at this time, the big one, but the color is a little yellowish, unlike the ones we picked before, I think it looks edible, but I'm not sure, so I use straw mats I picked one at a time and put it in my basket, Aunt Rong, please turn around and help me see if it is edible. " she said to Nanny Rong.

  Nurse Rong nodded with a smile.

   Turned around and left the house, returned after a while, and brought the yellow mushroom she mentioned.

  Nurse Rong handed it to Li Xuemei, and nodded to indicate that it was edible and non-toxic.

  Yan Yu became happy.

"Haha! Can it really be eaten? There are quite a few of them in the mountains, a large area, but the location is a little bit deep, so it's not easy to find, but it's okay, I remember that place, oops, I can't leave it for nothing, tomorrow, Tomorrow I will take people into the mountains to pick them back."

  Da Ya reached out and touched the big fat mushroom, eager to try it.

   "Xiao Er, sister will go with you too."

   "I want to go too." Qing'er said in a low voice.

  Li Xuemei really convinced her daughter, she gained strength and energy.

  Just arrived home, still thinking about running up the mountain.

  Nurse Rong said that she would go too.

  Yan Yu nodded again and again: "Aunt Rong just went to help take a look, so as not to pick poisonous mushrooms and come back."

  Seeing Qing'er's longing face, she looked at her pitifully.

  She thought for a while, and said: "You can go, but you can't go to the ground, you can only stay in the basket."

  Qing'er's eyes brightened up: "Qing'er is obedient and won't go down to the ground."

  It was getting late, Da Ya took Qing'er back to her room to sleep.

  Nurse Rong also packed up and went home.

   Only Li Xuemei and Yan Yuniang were left in the room.

   "Are you still thinking about going again?" Li Xuemei flicked the wick of the oil lamp.

   "Hey!" Yan Yu just laughed and didn't speak.

  She turned over, her thick long hair hanging down naturally, making her small face not as big as a palm.

  “The wheel of history tells us that only by defeating the enemy can we get real peace.”

  Li Xuemei glanced at her, fooling your mother?

  Yan Yu laughed awkwardly: "Mother, I really thought about it seriously. On the surface, I just went to get some cattle and sheep back, but in fact, this will cause a result of trade-off.

  We live in Huju, next to Beirong, so we have to think about it.

   Those Beirongs would gather together only when they plundered the pass, and they usually live scattered. Breaking them one by one is also a disguised way to reduce the pressure on our border towns.

  Be able to destroy the enemy in advance, and harvest cattle, sheep, and horses, and maybe even get some food back..."

  That's right, Yan Yu's eyes not only see cattle and sheep, but also horses.

  There is a shortage of horses in the pass.

  Bei Rong came and went like the wind, and they repeatedly attacked, not because they had good horses.

  In the battle of Huju, the reinforcements and the Beirong were close at hand, and they chased away, almost returning without success.

   Rather than grabbing back some food, it is better to say picking up some food.

  Li Xuemei still didn't speak.

Yan Yu coquettishly said: "Mother, look at Fourth Uncle Qi and I, we are not well-prepared for everything, we brought the cattle and sheep back safely, we really prepared well, I have the confidence to eat that Bei Rong. "

  Bring back more cattle, sheep and horses, suck!

   "You said that there are about a hundred people, without the benefits of the arrow tower, how can you eat them, relying on your mouth?" Li Xuemei didn't have a smile on her face.

  Yan Yu's voice immediately lowered: "How can you rely on your mouth, isn't there still a frontier army?"

  Li Xuemei stared: "Front Army?"

"I'm not stupid. Of course I wouldn't use people from our village to fight Bei Rong, but I found out about the movements of a small group of Bei Rong. Is it credit? When I tell General Xue, I don't believe he won't be tempted. Giving money from the head is still military merit, and cattle, sheep, horses and food...how can people not be rare!

  Well, the frontier army takes the big head, so let's drink soup and help put a cold arrow next to it...

  There are lost cattle and sheep, let's help find them... What a wonderful thing you say, everyone is happy! "

  Yan Yu imagined beautifully, and also felt that there was a lot of room for maneuvering in this matter.

   "Why does the frontier army have to take you, and I can't do it alone?" Li Xuemei poured cold water on her.

   "That can't be, Xue Zongqi doesn't have enough manpower, and our Huju frontier army is short of people." Of course, Yan Yu will not aim at the target indiscriminately, thinking about it thoroughly. "He has to keep people guarding the guardhouse. There are not many people who can be transferred. The guards next to him borrow people. How can the people in our village be better? We will not compete with him for military merits. All the heads of Beirong belong to him. We only need cattle and sheep. , give him all the horses."

  The horses that were seized in Xiao'an Village before were too strenuous to raise, especially in this winter, forage is a big problem.

   If there are more horses, give them all to Xue Zongqi, and Xiaoan Village needs cattle and sheep.

"Besides, there is also the future of Uncle Hu and the others. The elder brother of the eldest son promised us a general banner, but Uncle Hu and the others have low qualifications and cannot be given immediately. It depends on their performance. The position of the general flag may be able to come down earlier, on the contrary, if the performance is mediocre, the general flag may be yellow.

  No one can say what the future will be like, if you can get promoted as soon as possible, please do so sooner. "

  When the uncle said that Guanzhou might conscript soldiers, Yan Yuke always remembered it.

  Li Xuemei has to admit that her daughter thinks enough and everything she says makes sense.

   His expression slowly calmed down, he thought for a moment and said: "Your uncle is not here, you can go to your father and ask your teacher about this matter."

  Yan Yu squinted her eyes and smiled: "I think so too. If Mr. Xue refuses to admit it, he has to talk to his master. If the government can spare manpower, let his master do the same."

  Li Xuemei carefully looked at her daughter. In the past, this child didn't use all her strength to study. Look at her mind. If she works hard, she won't pass the exam.

   "Mom, how is my shop?" Yan Yu asked.

  Li Xuemei withdrew her gaze and groped for a box.

  Yan Yu's eyes widened when he saw the wooden box.

  She knows this box very well. Master brought it back from the palace. After taking the money inside, the box is useless. Her father took it home, and mother used it to store valuable things at home.

  Their family's money and the forest land title deed are all here.

  Li Xuemei opened the box, found a piece of paper, and handed it to her.

  Yan Yu couldn't wait to take it, moved closer to some oil lamps, and looked at ten lines at a glance.

  Title!

  The title deed of her shop!

"You are still young, so I wrote my name." Li Xuemei said: "He Zhongren charged the Erliang Middle School admission fee, and the formalities were all handled by Xue Zongqi. This time, it took a total of three hundred and eighty-two taels, and you let me have four hundred taels of silver bills, and there are only eighteen taels left, now, it's all here.”

  She opened the box for Yan Yu to see.

"Wow! I really have a shop!" Yan Yu was so excited that she wanted to roll, worried that the land deed would be accidentally damaged, she hurriedly said: "Mom, you should keep it for me, just give me the key, and Yinzi, haha, I will go there tomorrow, measure the house first, draw a sketch, and then ask the uncles in the village to help with the renovation."

Li Xuemei laughed, "Aren't you going to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms tomorrow? You're also going to a shop in Fucheng? Do you still want to go to Huju to find your father? Your day is really fulfilling. I don't object to your troubles, but you can run away." Do you have to come over?"

  Yan Yu: Ga!

   Really can't run.

  Yan Yu prioritized things.

   The matter of Bei Rong is very important, and it must be settled early. Although I think those Bei Rong will not leave in the short term, it can be taken just in case, and it is better to make a quick decision.

  Mushrooms can't wait, fungi are so delicate, it's best to pick them as soon as they grow, as a day later will affect the taste.

   There is no need to set the alarm clock, the rooster in the backyard of her house will turn over as soon as it pulls its neck and calls her.

  Get dressed and go out without washing your face.

  Go to Luo's house first, then Cui's house, just leave these two houses.

  The news will spread throughout the village in a very short time.

  Da Ya also got up early and went out.

   She also has little sisters to notify.

  The two sisters went home after walking around. After breakfast, the outside of the courtyard gradually became lively.

   There are quite a few people who want to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms.

  Yan Yu tied the two baskets together and put them on the donkey.

  Put a few hoes and bamboo crossbows in one basket, and put quilts in the other basket, and carry Qing'er into it.

  She carried the iron rod herself, and Da Ya also had an extra wooden rod in her hand.

  Nurse Rong also carried a basket, and as soon as they left the yard, they saw that everyone in the village was dressed in the same way.

  Both adults and children.

  Because we have to walk a lot of mountain roads, there are many people like her family leading donkeys and mules, and there are fewer girls and children, and more children who are half-grown.

  Yan Yu looked at the sky.

   No nonsense, call everyone to enter the mountain.

  The village chief Luo also came, and none of the village elders was left behind.

They are not for the mushrooms, but want to know the situation on the other side of the mountain. Let Qi Si say that the listeners are anxious and dry. After walking for more than ten days and almost half a month, let him talk, and they will finish talking in a few words. .

   It's been a few days, just a few words?

   Village Chief Luo could get angry.

  After a night of precipitation, Yan Yu felt that the time had come.

   On the road, she and Uncle Qi walked for a few days in the mountains, and then searched for a few days on the grassland, how to keep up with those Bei Rong, counted the tents, and told the villagers about the estimated number of people.

  The people in the village have a general idea.

  She also talked about what the grassland looked like, it was not very good for Tibetans, etc., and explained the difficulties clearly.

  Finally, I talked about my plan, and I wanted to tell the old man the news, to see if the government has any ideas, and then I will inform General Xue...

  The frontier army earns military merits, and if the government office goes to people, they can share some of the benefits. As for Xiaoan Village, hehe, they are simply taken to drink soup.

   But she can't say these words. Last night, the mother and father closed the door, and she can speak freely, but in front of outsiders, she still has to put a guard on her mouth.

This is not the time when Bei Rong came to the village. She can't do things without opening her mouth, and she bites the bullet and rushes up. This time, she thinks it is more appropriate for her father to come forward. After all, at her age, it is really hard to kill Bei Rong with her mouth shut. It was brutal.

  She should be a strong, courageous, a little bit clever, able to settle accounts, earn a small amount of money, and be able to study well.

   The most, by chance, brought back some cattle and sheep, so what, maybe accidentally killed a few more Bei Rong and the like.

  Hey, in short, low-key, low-key.

   Typos are corrected first and then corrected~
