Chapter 1944 Good Luck to Mr. Shao
This result was considered fair, and naturally no one would argue over how much was left. The master and his wife only kept a little, and most of it was distributed to everyone. What else could be said?
Besides, if we find a place like that, we can just go hunting there later.
Qiao Xuan and her friends took one of the three and gave it to the servants at home, so that each of them could taste a few bites for the sake of novelty. Lixia and other maids, Songshi and other managers were not included. The other two were sent to Jia Zhoucheng, and Lixia, Songshi and others also had a share.
The other clerks did not send it off.
After giving them away like this, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan only had half of them left.
Fortunately, the weather was cold and they could keep the pheasants, rabbits and wild ducks.
The tender venison was chopped into puree and cooked into porridge, and An An ate it with great relish.
It has been a long time since Qiao Xuan had eaten such fresh venison. She cooked it in various ways, such as grilling, stir-frying, dry-potting, and stewing, to her heart's content.
The news that Lord Shao took his wife out hunting on a whim spread throughout Anzezhou City only after they returned with a full load.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Although Anze Prefecture relies on the mountains for its livelihood and there are many prey in the mountains, Lord Shao's luck is still a bit too good!
They were going to Mili Town. Excluding the time on the road, the time they actually spent in the mountains hunting was definitely not long.
Just like that, he actually hunted ten deer! Those small prey are not counted, but it is actually not easy.
You have to know that there were only eighteen of them, and Lord Shao, Madam Shao, and the other half-grown children and maids who followed them had absolutely no hunting skills. In other words, it was really rare for them to hunt ten such fat and strong deer with only twelve or thirteen people, and in such a short time!
The strength and luck of these people are really beyond words.
You have to know that these people occasionally go into the mountains to hunt for fun, but it's just for fun and they never go deep into the mountains. They have never hunted a deer themselves, and they have never even seen its shadow. But there are hunters who hunt and sell them to them.
Not much either.
Because deer usually don't go near places where people often appear, they run very fast and are very alert, so they are not easy to hunt.
Who would have thought that Lord Shao would come back with such a big harvest just by going out for a stroll...
Everyone was impressed. Lord Shao was really blessed with great fortune! If you go against Lord Shao, you will definitely be in trouble. You can be more honest and cooperative in the future...
Everyone has their own thoughts, the most obvious of which is that the amount of New Year gifts has been greatly increased.
As the New Year approaches, every household rushes to the prefectural government to present New Year gifts.
This is the custom, so Qiao Xuan accepted all of them and prepared return gifts, which took her a while.
The New Year gifts sent by each family were very substantial, and some were quite valuable. Qiao Xuan was slightly surprised but soon found a reason: this was the first year since her husband truly took control of the region and suppressed bandits, so it seemed reasonable for everyone to attach so much importance to it.
Anyway, everyone gave her New Year gifts, so she just gave a portion of similar size in return. It's not like she couldn't afford it.
In a blink of an eye, it was the 48th year of Qi Xuan.
Although Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were still unable to reunite with their entire family in Shaoding Village this year, they had many friends and An An around them, so it was a small reunion.
