In this way, although their lives were somewhat protected, each trip would take several days, and the wild game caught would be divided among many people.
The money from the sale was divided among the purchases, and then used to buy daily necessities such as needles, thread, cloth, oil lamps, rice, flour, and salt.
If no one in the family is injured, that's fine. But if someone is injured, the money they receive won't even cover the cost of medicine.
If you want to earn more, go hunting in the mountains with fewer people or by yourself.
However, this would be very risky, with a high probability of being devoured by wild beasts.
Although they were hunters, they weren't guaranteed to catch anything every time they went into the mountains.
In addition to paying taxes and performing corvée labor, they also had to stop hunting when they needed to rest and recuperate in the mountains.
Therefore, at that time, every household was struggling to make ends meet, and saving money to get married was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Everyone's lives improved after my aunt was born.
For decades, only one girl was born, and it seemed that good fortune followed her.
After that, although everyone continued to hunt and were not wealthy, they had no problem with having enough to eat and wear.
By the end of the year, after deducting all sorts of expenses, I was still able to save a little bit, something that had never happened before.
Now that my aunt is on good terms with these people, and even gave them half a fish, I suppose she intends to help them out?
Thinking this, he said, "Adding two of each won't work, but I can add one pancake and one steamed bun."
Song Chongjin was the kind of person who knew when to stop, and he also knew that food was scarce at the moment, so what the other party was offering was quite valuable.
He immediately nodded: "Alright, thank you, Brother Chi Sen!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at his wife, who was a step behind him, and gestured to her.
Su Yu picked up a basket from the ground and handed it over.
Chi Sen reached out and took it, then opened the basket he had brought, took out the corresponding amount, and put it into the other person's basket.
The Song family of four watched intently. Just as they checked that the numbers were correct and thought the transaction was complete, they saw Chi Sen pull out a compartment from the basket and take out half a fish from the bottom.
"This is from my aunt to Miss An'an, as a thank you for her help."
It's a bit fishy, and it wasn't wrapped in anything. Your baskets are small, it seems like it won't fit. I wonder who will carry it?
Or, where can you pick a larger leaf to wrap it up?
Neither Song Chongjin nor Su Yu expected that the other's basket would have a compartment.
Their eyes lit up when they saw the half-fish that weighed several pounds.
It was so late at night, they had no intention of picking any leaves.
Immediately, Song Chongjin said, "Wife, take the fish back and process it."
There are so many snails here, little brother Chisen probably wouldn't be able to carry them all back, so An'an and I are giving him a hand."
"Okay!" Su Yu replied, then took her things and left with her son.
Chi Sen was taken aback by the other party's offer of help, and then said:
"Scholar Song, I can only carry three buckets at most. I'll need your help with the remaining five."
"Once we're inside the wooden fence, someone will come to help."
Song Chongjin, knowing his niece was naturally strong, nodded decisively: "Okay, no problem!"
When Chi Yu returned from the Western Hills, she was still concerned about this matter. As her two older brothers dragged the tree back, she also headed towards the Northern Hills.
Not far from the wooden fence, I could vaguely see several people carrying things coming this way.
At the same time, Qin Mu's familiar voice came from behind.
"Little fish!"
