Chapter 173 Selling Ginseng
When the group left the mountains, it became completely dark. When they returned to Lijia Village, only the Sang family was on the lights in the entire village, and other families had already fallen asleep.
It was the first time I saw so many preys. Sang Hushi and Liu, who were not asleep, were surprised and happy. However, they knew that these preys, especially wild boars and roe deer, were hunted by Zheng Lin and Zheng Chang, and did not have the intention to possess them.
Knowing that Mangye and a few were tired and hungry, Liu called out the mulberry jujube, who was sleeping in a daze. The mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen. After a while, they brought out bowls of sharp lean meat egg noodles.
After thanking Liu, the five hungry people picked up their chopsticks and ate them in big mouthfuls. Soon a bowl of noodles came to an end. Mulberry leaves were fine, but her appetite was not very large. After eating a large bowl of noodles, she became full. Zheng Lin and the four big men became much more powerful. After eating two large bowls, she could barely relieve her hunger.
The little bear cub and Langba were not hungry either. Liu specially found a pottery bowl for Langba, and filled both bowls with lean meat and egg noodles. However, Langba's appetite was still not good. He barely ate a few bites of noodles and licked the noodle soup. Most of the remaining dry goods were wrapped around by the little bear cub, and his belly was so round that he could hardly walk.
After a little rest, Zheng Lin talked about the issue of prey distribution.
It’s okay if the pheasant and hare are too hot. If you can’t finish eating, you can hang it in the well and eat it slowly. The roe deer and wild boar are not easy to deal with. Both are big, so they will definitely not be able to finish eating if they don’t have enough time to eat it for a few months. The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, so I can’t let it go, so I can’t sell it in the city and then share the money.
The other three people who participated in the hunting had no objection, but Mangshu said embarrassedly: "Without you two, my second brother and I could catch two rabbits and pheasants. The money sold by the roe deer and the wild boar belongs to you, so we two brothers will not be separated."
Before Zheng Lin could speak, Zheng Chang spoke first: "What are you saying? If you didn't block it in front of you, how could Brother Lin and I beg for wild boars? We will definitely share the money sold."
In fact, Zheng Chang is not short of a few dollars for selling prey, but if he doesn't want it, the Sang brothers will definitely not want it. Besides, it will definitely be more than this time when going into the mountains to hunt. If they make each other uncomfortable for this little thing, they will not have the chance to be as happy as they are today in the future.
"No, no, no, we don't want it, we really don't want it." The straightforward Mangshu waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to take advantage of it: "It's enough to be able to divide two pheasants and hares, and we can't be worried if we take it next to us."
Sang Lin also had the same meaning, and then agreed, "I will have the same idea as my elder brother. We brothers will not want what we deserve, and we will never take what we shouldn't want. Brother Zheng Chang, don't argue with us."
When Zheng Chang heard this, he looked at the Sang brothers with more eyes, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to look at Zheng Lin.
Zheng Lin also didn't care about these money. If he had either worried about hurting the self-esteem of his two brothers-in-law, it would be fine if he had to give them the wild boar roe deer.
Seeing that his two brothers-in-law didn't want it, he thought for a while and said, "You have really helped you hunt that wild boar. You must get one for the money for selling wild boars. If the roe deer is my and Chang Zi, those pheasants and hares will be halfway. If you don't want to eat it, you will sell them together in the city tomorrow."
Mulberry Trees and Manglin looked at each other and felt that it would be too obvious to refuse, so they agreed: "Okay, just divide the wild boars and leave two pheasants and hares, and sell the rest tomorrow."
"Okay, let's do it!" Zheng Lin and Zheng Chang had no objection, so they decided to allocate their prey.
Sang Ye took out the ginseng from his back basket, met Sang Huishi and Liu, who were full of shock, and said with a smile: "I'm lucky today. I dug up this ginseng from the previous year. I plan to go to the city with Brother Zheng tomorrow to sell it, and go to see my mother and sister-in-law. If my sister-in-law recovers well, I plan to take my sister-in-law back."
The last sentence was obviously said to Mangshu. Speaking of which, Yu was not at home these days, Mangshu's mood has been not very good. The person who was already very silent became even more silent, only knowing to be busy with the fields.
If he hadn't gone into the mountains to hunt this time, he wouldn't know how long he would have been bored alone. If he didn't take Yu back, he would probably have gotten sick.
Face my sister to understand everything
With his eyes, Mangshu was embarrassed, but he said, "If your sister-in-law recovers well, just let her come back. There are so many things to do at home, so you can't let her stay lazy anymore."
After hearing this, Sang Ye looked at her elder brother speechlessly. Until she was so scared that she couldn't help but avoid it, she hummed and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will say what you said just now to my elder sister-in-law without missing a word."
When Sang Shu heard this, his face turned pale in an anxious manner and said flatteringly: "Ye'er, good sister, it's the elder brother who is stupid and said the wrong thing. Don't tell the truth to your elder sister-in-law, otherwise I will be miserable."
Sang Ye was both angry and funny, and said deliberately: "Now you know you said the wrong thing? It's too late. I must tell my sister-in-law to see if she will come back."
Sang Shu thought his sister was saying the truth, and she said good things in a panic, and almost called her own girl "Auntie". This time, for the sake of so-called face, she threw away the inside.
"Okay, okay, brother, stop talking, can't I agree?" Sang Ye was so troubled by the big brother's mouth that he felt very disgusted and let go and no longer embarrassed him.
Just turned his head and saw someone pursing his lips and looking like he was about to smile or not. She glared back in anger.
Before dawn the next day, Zheng Lin got his own ox cart and came to the Sang family. Zheng Chang stayed at home to take care of Langba and did not plan to go to the city.
Several people worked together to carry the wild animals to the ox cart, and then covered the prey with black cloth to avoid being eye-catching. Mulberry leaves wrapped ginseng with a piece of fine cotton cloth and stuffed it under the roe deer's belly. Then, as the father, brother and sister-in-law reminded him, he got on the carriage and followed Zheng Lin toward the county town.
The Zheng family's cow is a strong cow with very good feet. Before noon, he arrived at the county town. Zheng Lin gave all his prey to an acquaintance who opened a restaurant at one time, and brought mulberry leaves to Zhirentang, which was the clinic where Yu's family was treated before.
The doctor in Zhirentang had dealt with him. Sang Ye knew that the doctor was a medical person and gave him ginseng. She was not worried that he would deliberately lower the price.
