"Okay, the remaining meat..." Tang Shen looked at the remaining half of the pork and felt a little worried.
The meat can be stored in the winter without worrying about it going bad, but how to deal with so much meat is still a problem.
If I take it to town to sell, it will probably take a whole day.
"Leave some to make bacon and eat it slowly, and sell the rest. Let's ask Chef Chen first if he will buy it. If he can eat that much, we will sell it to him at a lower price. If he can't eat that much, we will sell it outside." Qin Zijin said without raising his head as he counted the money.
"We've exchanged so much food this time, so we don't have to worry about this winter."
Qin Zijin is in a really good mood now.
Thinking back to when I just opened my eyes, it was like a Shura field, the beginning of hell.
I didn't expect that life would change so much in just a few days.
Not only does he eat meat and rice every day, but he has also saved up 300 yuan.
Three hundred yuan is a huge sum of money.
There are also two ginsengs at home, and if they are sold outside, they will be sold at a sky-high price.
Not to mention the mountain products dug up today, and the things that Zhao Daniu was given to take out to the town to sell.
I guess when Zhao Daniu comes back, he will be able to earn more than 200 yuan.
After Qin Zijin counted the money, he divided the meat.
The ones to be made into bacon were picked out and put away separately, some of the others were picked out to be eaten in the evening, and the rest were kept to be sent to the town to be sold.
It's almost dark outside.
Qin Zijin felt a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Zhao Daniu should have been back by this time. After all, he could just go and hand the things over to Chen Dahai, which would only take some time. However, Zhao Daniu had been out for more than four hours, so he should have been back long ago.
Not only Qin Zijin was confused, Miao Cuicui was even more uneasy, fearing that something might happen to Zhao Daniu.
It was not until after seven o'clock, when it was completely dark, that Zhao Daniu came back driving the ox cart.
Qin Zijin heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door and went out.
The cold wind was blowing outside, and it was very cold. Zhao Daniu stopped the ox cart at the door and saw Qin Zijin coming out. He greeted her, "Sister, why are you out? It's too cold. Go back to the house quickly."
"Brother Daniu, was there any accident on the way? Why did you come back so late?" Qin Zijin asked worriedly.
"No, no, it was Brother Chen who invited me to dinner, thanked me, and said that if I had any good things in the future, I could just give them to him. That's why it took some time, but nothing happened. Don't worry." Zhao Daniu waved his hands repeatedly.
Miao Cuicui, who came out, also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Zhao Daniu still smelled of alcohol, obviously he had eaten well.
Miao Cuicui greeted Qin Zijin and led the people inside.
Seeing that the person was fine, Qin Zijin breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the house.
When I entered the house and looked at the fire, I felt like I was alive again.
"It's really too cold today, and it seems to be getting colder." Qin Zijin took off his cotton-padded jacket and got into bed. He was so cold that his whole body was a little stiff, and he couldn't help but complain.
"It's already December. It should snow in a few days, so it will naturally be cold." Tang Shen listened to Qin Zijin's complaints and explained softly.
"Let's go find the old carpenter tomorrow and have the cotton-fluffing tool made as soon as possible so we can re-make the quilt earlier and keep it warmer." Qin Zijin muttered and leaned closer to Tang Simeng. Feeling the heat coming from the child, she felt much warmer immediately.
Early the next morning, Tang Shen went to the old carpenter's house with his things.
The old carpenter is old, in his sixties, and is now sitting under the longan tree in the yard smoking a cigarette.
Tang Shen knocked on the door. The old man looked up at him and then asked slowly, "What do you want from me? I don't accept disciples."
"Master, I want to ask you for help with some things." Tang Can smiled. He also knew that this old man had a strange temper. He had been in the village for so many years, but he was still alone. He was unwilling to accept disciples and would help people with work depending on their mood.
"Oh, tell me about it." The old man closed his eyes again and basked in the sun and smoked comfortably.
Tang Shen pushed open the door and walked in.
The yard was a mess, filled with all kinds of debris, and even more so with all kinds of wood, made of all kinds of materials.
He just glanced at it without looking at it any further and stated his request: "I want to make a set of cotton-fluffing tools. Can you make it?"
"Oh, you can do this job too?" The old carpenter opened his eyes and looked at Tang Shen for a rare moment.
"I guess I can do it." Tang Shen touched his nose and answered vaguely.
"Okay, you know my rules?" The old carpenter pondered for a moment before speaking again.
"I understand." Tang Shen nodded. After putting down the things he brought, he paused and spoke again, "Master, I'm planning to make another set of furniture. I don't know..."
"I'm busy this year. Come back next spring." The old carpenter waved his hand and refused before Tang Can finished speaking.
Tang Shen responded with a wry smile and said nothing more.
The old carpenter knew what the cotton-fluffing tool looked like without Tang Can telling him. He obviously didn't care much about what Tang Can brought.
After Tang Shen left, he slowly stood up, took a look at the things on the stone table in the yard, and laughed.
Tang Can was returning from the old carpenter's house when he ran into a villager who was running towards the village chief's house in a panic.
He didn't care too much.
But soon, Zhao Mantang came out hurriedly with his men.
Seeing Tang Shen, he stopped and called out to him, "Tang Shen, don't rush back home. Come with me to the mountains first. Something happened there."
"What happened?" Tang Shen's expression turned serious.
"Zhao Fugui and his companions went into the mountains to hunt, but somehow they attracted a pack of wolves. It is said that there are more than a dozen wolves. Now they are all surrounded on the mountain. Only Zhao Kang ran out and came back to report the news and ask for help." Zhao Mantang's eyes were full of anxiety. He was anxious and angry.
Tang Shen's expression also changed.
Wolves are very scary in winter.
They were extremely hungry and couldn't find any food. If they met anyone at this time, they would be in big trouble.
Although he had no friendship with Zhao Fugui and did not like his personality, Tang Can still followed Zhao Mantang.
In the crowd, Tang Wei had an honest and simple smile on his face. He looked up at Tang Can, but his eyes were inexplicably vicious. Unfortunately, everyone's attention was on other things at the moment and they didn't notice all this at all.
Tang Can followed Zhao Mantang and his group up the mountain, and didn't even have time to go back and say hello to Qin Zijin.
Qin Zijin got up and saw that no one was there, but he didn't care too much. He slowly made breakfast. Looking at his increasing points and the space filled with various foods, he was in a very good mood.
