"Hey, if you have anything to say, come in and say it!
"The boss is carrying such a heavy load, and you didn't even bother asking him to put it down. He's still blocking the door and talking nonsense all the time."
As they were talking, Mrs. Ye came out from the kitchen.
She was cooking just now and couldn't leave for the moment.
He came out at this moment, hurried forward to take the pheasant in Boss Ye's hand, and pulled the person in.
"Put the deer down first. Aren't you tired?" Mrs. Ye threw the pheasant aside and wanted to help Boss Ye unload the sika deer.
Boss Ye dodged to the side and said, "First, find something to lay on the ground. Don't damage the deerskin."
"Oh, yes." Mrs. Ye just remembered this and quickly found the oilcloth she had used to cover the luggage on the road and spread it on the ground.
Only then did Boss Ye carefully put down the sika deer he had been carrying all the way from his shoulders, for fear of losing even a single hair.
He rubbed his shoulders, which were a little sore from being pressed, and put down the basket again, saying, "I also caught a few rabbits. Take a look. If you can't eat them all, you can make a cage and keep them for Qingtian to play with."
Mrs. Ye looked at the rabbits huddled together in the basket on her back and said with great joy, "There are so many of them. I'll make a basket to house them later.
"Rabbits reproduce quickly, and as you raise them, they become more and more numerous.
"While there's still grass outside, we can cut some and dry it so the rabbits will have food in the winter.
"If hay isn't enough, we can just eat rabbit."
After hearing what Mrs. Ye said, Qingtian felt that the rabbits at the bottom of the basket were squeezed tighter and trembling even more.
Looking at the gray hare, Qingtian sucked the saliva that was about to flow out.
Mrs. Ye then remembered that Qingtian had said she wanted to eat rabbit meat, and she immediately changed her mind and said, "Let me first check whether these rabbits are male or female. I'll just keep one male rabbit and cook the rest."
Although Qingtian didn't understand why only one male rabbit needed to be kept and all the female rabbits had to be kept, when he heard that he could eat rabbits, he immediately nodded repeatedly, and it seemed that he was really craving rabbit meat.
Mrs. Ye smiled and gently pinched her daughter's cheek and said, "Mom will make you rabbit tonight."
"Okay!" Qingtian said, "Mom, I'll help you weave baskets and raise rabbits this afternoon."
"What? You can make up stories?" Mrs. Ye responded, but she didn't really expect anything from her at all.
The north is different from the south. There is no bamboo, so people basically use willow branches to weave things.
That thing is not something a kid of Qingtian’s age can figure out.
Unexpectedly, Qingtian nodded seriously and said, "Mom, I can. I've made baskets before."
"What?" Mrs. Ye heard this. In her panic, she completely forgot that Qingtian's previous injuries had been healed long ago, and immediately grabbed Qingtian's hand and looked at it from front to back.
In fact, children recover quickly. Except for some places where the skin color is a little darker, there are basically no scars left.
I guess in two years, nothing will be visible about the rest.
But Mrs. Ye still felt uncomfortable.
"The Shan family couple are such scoundrels. They asked her to weave a basket out of willow branches when she was just a little girl.
"Children's hands are so soft, their bones haven't even fully grown yet. What if they get hurt?"
Finally, it was Old Lady Ye who spoke up: "Alright, put the things here for now. If anything comes up, we can talk after dinner."
"Oh, I still have vegetables stewing in the pot!" Mrs. Ye quickly turned around and ran back to the kitchen.
Old Madam Ye then ordered, "Changrui, go to the fields and call your father and fourth uncle back for dinner."
"Grandma, I'll go right away."
"Changxue, go to the river and ask your father to come back for dinner."
"good!"
The two children agreed, turned around and ran out, bumping into Ye Juaner who was about to step into the house.
"Ouch, why are you running? Slow down!" Ye Juaner barely managed to steady herself by holding onto the door frame.
"Aunt, how come you have time to come here?" Old Madam Ye waved the child away, walked forward, took Ye Juan'er's arm and walked inside, "If you have anything to say, come into the house and sit on the kang and talk slowly.
"Have you eaten yet? Let's eat here at noon?"
Ye Juaner hurriedly interrupted Old Lady Ye and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. I'm not here to eat for free.
"I came here to ask the villagers if you plan to sell this venison."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Ye said, "Just ask the eldest brother about the deer he hunted."
Ye Juaner turned her head and looked at Boss Ye.
Boss Ye originally wanted to dry the rest of the meat into jerky, except for what he would eat at home.
Although it is not as delicious as fresh meat, the dried meat can be stored for a long time.
In winter, throw it in the pot and boil it vigorously, stew it with some vegetables or add it to noodles. It is better than eating radishes and cabbage every day.
But when he heard that someone wanted to buy it, he was immediately interested.
Dried venison is not as delicious as fresh one. If you buy venison, wouldn’t it be better to save the money to buy meat after winter?
You know, venison is more expensive than pork.
By moving this inside and outside, we might be able to earn more than ten pounds of pork.
Thinking of this, Boss Ye nodded without hesitation and said, "Sell!"
