Chapter 314 Giving Tiger Bone Wine
Er Zhuang nodded hurriedly. If he didn't go back, his heart would not be able to bear it.
When they pulled a cart full of things back, everyone in the yard was stunned. They thought, "Are they buying too much?"
Uncle Yan didn't explain too much, he just pulled the cart to the corner.
The second wife and the old woman looked at each other and said in their hearts: "This man is such a spendthrift."
"Auntie, we won't sell the remaining meat, and we can keep the pig's head at home."
Uncle Yan looked at the meat left on the chopping board. There was about four or five pounds of it. It was already noon, so he probably wouldn't have anyone to buy it.
The old woman did not refuse. Her family had been busy since last night, so it was not too much for her to get this much meat.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Erzhuang called his wife home.
The old woman did not stop them, but just said that she would cook the pig's head in a while and asked them to come over for dinner in the evening.
Making a pig's head takes a lot of time, and it's definitely not the right time to do it now.
Erzhuang wanted to say no, but his wife twisted his waist and he agreed with a smile.
When they left the house, Erzhuang's wife glared at him and said, "Auntie is getting close to our family. You fool, when we come in the evening, bring some rice and vegetables so we don't eat for free."
Er Zhuang chuckled twice: "My wife is right."
In the yard, the old woman watched her nephew and niece-in-law leave with a smile in her eyes. She asked Dazhuang's wife to put the things away and cook the big bones first.
Although there is not much meat on the big bones, they are still delicious when cooked into broth and eaten with noodles.
Uncle Yan saw that there was no one in the yard, so he pulled the cart over and said, "Aunt, these are for you. We want to thank Brother Dazhuang for telling me that there are wild boars on the mountain."
The old woman didn't expect that the things on the cart were all for her family. She shook her head and refused: "No, this much meat and a whole pig's head are enough for us."
She had been greedy for money before because she had no choice but to do so due to the pressures of life. Now that Dazhuang is in good health and has hope for the future, she has returned to her old self.
Although there were a lot of things on that cart, they were not very precious to them in the past and they could afford them.
She believed that as long as Dazhuang's health improved, their family life would return to normal.
"Aunt, we still have to go home. It's not easy to go with so many things." Uncle Yan really wanted to give them something.
"If Brother Dazhuang hadn't told me the news, we would have set out on this journey rashly. If we encountered wild boars, it would have been very dangerous. These are my gifts of gratitude."
The old woman was still hesitating when Da Zhuang inside the house called out, "Mom, please accept Brother Yan's things."
Da Zhuang had just heard his wife talk about the things he brought back, and he guessed that these things were gifts for him.
He had sincerely wanted to help Uncle Yan and the others avoid danger, and now he can be considered to have been rewarded for his good deeds.
Besides, he planned to give some of his previously hidden collections to Uncle Yan, so it wouldn't be considered as taking advantage of the other party.
When the old woman heard Dazhuang's voice in the yard, she felt something was wrong. Her son was not the type to take advantage of others. Since he asked them to accept those things, he was afraid that they would have to give some gifts in return.
When Uncle Yan heard Dazhuang's voice, he pushed the cart directly towards the kitchen.
The old woman followed immediately. Those were good things and had to be put away properly.
After putting everything away, Uncle Yan went to the upper room again. He wanted to ask Dazhuang about the news nearby.
Dazhuang told Uncle Yan a lot of information he knew, even which road was easy to take and which road was blocked by ruffians.
Uncle Yan nodded frequently as he listened. With this information, he knew what to do next.
After telling his wife everything he knew, Dazhuang asked her to get the jar hidden in the cellar.
Da Zhuang's wife was a little unhappy and hesitated to go.
Da Zhuang said softly, "Brother Yan has been very kind to us, go get it."
Da Zhuang's wife then went out, and after a while she came back with a small jar and put it on the table.
"Brother Yan, this is a wine I made by soaking a piece of bone from a big guy I killed with a few friends a few years ago. It's good for the body. I don't need it now, so you can keep it and drink it slowly."
Uncle Yan had a guess in mind, so he asked tentatively, "Is it tiger bone wine?"
"Yes, but there were too many people hunting the tiger at that time, so I only used the bones to soak three jars of wine. This jar is for Brother Yan." Dazhuang laughed heartily.
Knowing that tiger bone wine was a good thing, Uncle Yan didn't refuse. He thought for a moment and took out the remaining money from today's shopping: "I'll buy this wine."
Da Zhuang shook his head and refused. Uncle Yan put the money on the table and said, "This tiger bone wine is hard to come by. So, I got the better deal."
Da Zhuang was frank: "Brother Yan, don't say that. The drinks here are very ordinary. It's only the tiger bones that are worth some money. If you don't mind, Brother Yan, just accept me as your younger brother. Come to my house and stay when you pass by here next time."
He took out the tiger bone wine with the intention of selling it to the other party.
After he regained consciousness, he realized that his family was living a difficult life. He also had to take care of his health, so he was afraid that his family would not be able to recover in the short term. He thought of tiger bone wine, thinking that as long as he could sell the wine, his family would be able to survive.
Although tiger bones are rare, the most important thing is to recover as soon as possible.
Uncle Yan gave Dazhuang something to thank him for his advice. When he saw him take out the tiger bone wine, he knew that he wanted to sell it to him. However, this thing was really rare, and he had no shortage of money, so he simply bought it.
"Okay, then I will recognize Brother Dazhuang. I hope Brother Dazhuang will get better soon."
For a moment, the two people became much closer.
Outside the house, Da Zhuang's wife had been eavesdropping. She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Da Zhuang had sold the family's tiger bone wine for nearly ten taels of silver.
With these ten taels of silver, their family will have a much better life in the next one or two years.
A smile appeared on her face and she went to the kitchen to help the old woman cook.
The old woman noticed at a glance that Dazhuang's wife was different from before, and found an opportunity to ask why. When she learned that Dazhuang had sold the wine to Uncle Yan, she was silent for a moment before sighing, "It's sold, fortunately there are still two jars at home."
Da Zhuang's wife opened her mouth but said nothing.
"Da Zhuang's body needs care, and you will give birth in a few months. All these things require money." The old woman explained Da Zhuang's approach.
Dazhuang's wife touched her belly and said, "Mom, I wish there was a boy in my belly."
The old woman didn't care: "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. As long as we are all together as a family, it's fine. When the meal is ready, you should eat more. You have lost weight these days."
"Mom, you too." Dazhuang's wife felt much better and stayed in the kitchen to help.
