A deer weighs over a hundred kilograms, so it is naturally a good thing if it can be sold.
But Old Lady Ye was still worried: "How do we sell this?"
In the past, when people lived outside the Great Wall, almost every family in the village went up the mountain to hunt.
When people caught prey, except for giving gifts to familiar families, the rest were taken to the county town to sell.
In winter, they are buried directly in the snow and saved for eating during the New Year.
So I have never sold game in the village.
How should this price be determined?
If you have too much, you will feel embarrassed; if you have too little, you will feel like you are losing out.
Ye Juaner saw the concern of Old Lady Ye and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you with everything. What else do you have to worry about?"
"Then I'll have to trouble his aunt!" Old Mrs. Ye made up her mind that she would ask the eldest son to leave a piece of good meat for Ye Juaner.
Before leaving, Ye Juan'er said to Boss Ye, "Eat first, don't worry. You can clean up the venison after dinner. I'll go out and tell them to come over in two hours."
Boss Ye asked hurriedly, "Auntie, how much is a pound of venison?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "This is fresh venison. How can it be cheaper than donkey meat?"
Ye Juaner heard this and said, "Don't worry, I have already made a plan for you.
"The head, hooves and offal are not worth much. If you like to eat them, keep them. Otherwise, sell them for a dozen coins per pound.
"The shank and pork belly should be picked out separately; these are the parts that can be sold at a high price, at least forty coins per pound.
"The remaining ribs will cost at least thirty coins a pound, and the leg bones, neck bones, and spine bones with meat on them will cost about twenty coins a pound."
Ye Juan'er was about to leave when she finished speaking, but she was almost out when she suddenly remembered, "Look at my memory. Your uncle told me to tell you that deer heart is a good thing. It can nourish qi, replenish blood, and calm the mind. You should save some for your mother to nourish her body. Remember?"
Boss Ye actually knew all of this, but he was still very moved when he heard Ye Juan'er's detailed instructions and kept thanking her.
After sending Ye Juan'er out, the other three brothers of the Ye family were also called back by the children.
Mrs. Ye called from the kitchen: "Clear the table, it's time for dinner!"
Mrs. Ye San hurried over to help serve the dishes, taking the bowls and chopsticks.
Ye Ersao, who was doing needlework in the room, also rubbed her sore shoulders, moved the clothes on her legs, got down from the kang, picked up the kang broom, swept the thread ends and scraps of cloth on her body, and then went to the main room to prepare for dinner.
She was delayed for a while when she got downstairs, and when she entered the main room she found that the whole family was seated and waiting for her.
When Mrs. Guo saw her enter the room, she said somewhat displeasedly, "Second sister-in-law is really precious. Do you have to keep asking her for a meal?"
Ye Ersao was too lazy to argue with a pregnant woman.
Old Madam Ye, however, refused to indulge her and said, "How busy has your second sister-in-law been these past few days? What's wrong with coming in late? I didn't say anything, why are you offended?"
After being scolded by her mother-in-law, Guo didn't dare to speak anymore. Seeing that there were only vegetarian dishes on the table, she was reluctant to eat them. She took a few bites and said she was not feeling well. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and went back to the house.
Ye Lao Si was still worried about his wife, so he hurried back to the house and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Did you vomit again today?"
"I'm fine!" Guo returned to the room and lay down on the kang. She didn't look uncomfortable at all.
"So you're in a bad mood because you broke it?" Ye Laosi asked a little confused.
"You are stupid!" Guo said, "Don't you see such a big deer in the yard? We are having venison tonight!
"What's so good about that tattered cabbage and potatoes at noon? Eat less and save some for meat at night."
Ye Lao Si was speechless, but still asked, "Aren't you hungry? How about I serve you some more?"
"It's okay, I'm not hungry. I'll just take a nap in the afternoon and it will be over."
Guo decided to save some space for the meat, so she turned over and faced Ye Laosi, unwilling to listen to his nagging anymore.
Ye Laosi had no choice but to go back to the main room to continue eating.
Mrs. Ye asked with concern, "Fourth Brother, is your wife okay? Is it because the food I cooked for lunch didn't suit her taste?"
"I'll make her whatever she wants to eat. She's pregnant now, so she can't skip a meal."
"Sister-in-law, it's none of your business. She just has some morning sickness, and she ate a lot this morning, so she's not hungry now. She's going back to rest now."
Ye Laosi didn't have the nerve to say that his wife was waiting to eat meat in the evening.
Unexpectedly, Ye Changzhao suddenly said, "Fourth Aunt said she wants to save some food for venison tonight!"
He just ran out to the toilet and happened to hear the conversation between Ye Laosi and Guo.
Ye Laosi's face turned red instantly, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head in the bowl.
Mrs. Ye Er didn't expect her son to say this suddenly, so she quickly pinched him under the table.
Ye Changfeng was eating his meal obediently when he looked up at Ye Ersao in confusion and asked, "Mom, why are you pinching me?"
"I..." Ye Ersao said awkwardly, "Who pinched you? I just touched you accidentally. Eat your meal!"
The other people in the family all looked understanding.
Although she had just been married for a short time, the journey of fleeing famine was enough for everyone to see what kind of person Guo was.
Compared to everyone's embarrassment, Qingtian was obviously more concerned about Rourou.
"Mom, are we having venison tonight? Then when are we having rabbit?"
"Don't worry, you little greedy cat, I'll make both." Mrs. Ye said with a smile, "As long as you want to eat it, mother will make it for you."
Naturally, the other people in the family had no objection to this.
Everyone in the family loves the dishes cooked by Mrs. Ye, and it’s even better if they can eat more meat.
