"Wealth is nothing, this is not a firewood stick in my hand."

Zhu Chuanwen raised the Mosin-Nagant M1984 cavalry infantry rifle in his hand towards Zhu Kaishan and replied.

This was also what Zhu Chuanwen gained when he was in Lushun City.

The gun body is slightly shorter than the normal model, making it suitable for cavalry combat.

After arriving at the cattle ranch, Zhu Chuanwen cleaned up two of his weapons.

Living in the countryside in the Northeast, you would really feel insecure if you didn't keep a few weapons at home.

Not to mention whether the beards all over the mountains would come to rob the villages.

Just the various wild animals running around require certain means of self-defense.

The pressure to survive in terms of safety is much greater than when I was in Shandong.

"Then you have to be careful. Even having a gun is not a panacea. Just wait until I am free. When I am free, I will take you to the woods to set the trap."

Zhu Chuanwen actually didn't trust Zhu Kaishan's hunting skills.

There are specialties in the art, and it doesn't mean you can hunt down prey just because you are good at marksmanship.

Hunting is more about understanding the habits of prey.

Just seeing that Lao Zhu's family doesn't have many animal skins, we know that Zhu Kaishan doesn't have many skills in this area.

It was not easy to survive after escaping from the capital all the way to the Northeast, and it was even more difficult to save all this family property. How could I have so much time to perfect all kinds of skills?

"I know, we are familiar with the surroundings, and if there is no prey, we will not force it."

Zhu Chuanwen took Xian'er, Chuanwu took Chuanjie, and the four of them entered the mountain with two horses.

There are still a few horses in the family, but big animals like horses also consume a lot of food.

With the current conditions of Lao Zhu's family, it is no longer easy to raise two horses.

Horses are raised in the villages mainly as production tools.

To be used purely as a means of transportation, one must at least be at the landlord level to be so luxurious.

"Brother, is that a roe deer?"

After entering the mountain for three to five miles, various animals began to increase in number.

Chuanwu and Chuanjie, who had never seen much of the world, started shouting and getting excited.

The most common ones are some pheasants and rabbits. Because bullets are precious and there is currently no way to replenish them, Zhu Chuanwen did not waste bullets.

There are only a few bites of meat removed, so it's really not as valuable as bullets.

"Yes, the one with the white butt is the roe deer."

Although the roe deer is stupid, it will turn back when called loudly and will not run away when beaten. If it runs away, it will come back.

An experienced person can hit it with a stick.

However, the current population in Northeast China is still small and the erosion of the natural environment is relatively small, so the pressure on survival is not great.

It has not been exterminated, it can even be said to be quite widespread.

"Brother Chuanwen, let's beat him. If we beat him today, we can eat meat."

"Brother, if you don't give me a gun, I will."

"Stop it, is it easy to get some bullets? How can I let you waste it?"

"Brother...the wild boar, such a big wild boar, even has tusks."

"Guandong is great. If you want to eat meat, just come to the woods and get it."

"Okay, that's it. It's enough for us to eat for a while."

"Now, brother, you and Xian'er's wedding can be properly organized."

Although he brought three oil bottles, Zhu Chuanwen did not dare to go too deep into the woods.

But in one morning, we still shot a roe deer and two wild boars.

Although in this era, there are also reports that the Northeast's resources are exhausted.

But this comparison is with when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was founded two hundred years ago.

Compared with later generations, the products are actually very rich.

With such a small population in the Northeast, the destructive power to the environment is still limited.

After cutting a few branches and making a simple sledge, they returned with the harvested prey, talking and singing.

Xian'er really likes singing, and there's nothing wrong with that.

In this era of lack of entertainment, listening to opera is already a good entertainment.

However, a few people just returned to the village and saw two strange carriages parked in front of Lao Zhu's house before they reached their home.

"Brother, do we have guests today?"

Chuanjie was quite curious and couldn't help but ask first.

"If you ask me, how do I know? I'll know as soon as I enter the house and take a look."

Zhu Kaishan's social circle is unknown to other people in the family.

There were so many people who fought in the Boxer Rebellion, but only a small number of people managed to escape to the Northeast. In terms of personal relationships, it was not a small number.

"Chuangwen, you are back."

When Zhu Chuanwen and others entered the room, the first thing they saw was not Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Wei. It was Xia Yuanzhang, an outsider, who came out of the back room and greeted them enthusiastically.

"Mr. Xia, why are you here?"

Xia Yuanzhang's arrival was quite sudden, and he didn't give any news in advance.

"I promised to come to thank you. How dare you ignore the life-saving grace? Not to mention that without you and your family, none of our family can survive."

"Mr. Xia, you are too polite. They are just helping you. You don't have to worry too much."

The guests were all welcomed out, but Zhu Kaishan himself was not still sitting on the kang, so he also followed them out.

Zhu Kaishan still showed a humble attitude, otherwise even the Zhu family really saved the Xia family.

But if you always talk about your life-saving grace and hold on to the idea of ​​repaying a favor, people will not like it.

“Mr.

Zhu Chuanwen followed suit and said politely.

But I still hope that this family will have this attitude. Otherwise, Zhu Chuanwen will have to consider whether to socialize with the family.

"I still have to come for a formal visit. I have to recognize your family no matter what. Otherwise, I won't know where to repay my kindness. It would be too neglectful."

Xia Yuanzhang followed up, focusing on politeness.

At this time, it was still the feudal era, and there were still a lot of polite politenesses.

"Chuanjie, where have you been? Did you go hunting?"

Before the two families could continue to be polite, Yu Shu also squeezed out of the back room. When he saw several people and the prey in his hands, he chirped and asked.

"Yushu, you're here too."

Chuanjie was also very surprised when he saw the jade book.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Not only am I here, my mother and Yu Qing are also here."

Yushu pulled out Yuqing who was following behind and said.

The last ones following were the Zhu Wei family and the Xia Li family.

Xia Yuanzhang came with his family, which was more formal and meant that he became a member of the Zhu family.

"It's better to come early than to come by chance. We caught roe deer and wild boar. You came at the right time to make a table of pig-killing dishes."

After everyone said hello again, Zhu Chuanwen pointed at the prey and said.

The Xia family came at the right time, otherwise there would be no prey and guests would come, and the Zhu family would have to kill chickens to entertain the guests.

Not to mention that it's a bit monotonous to serve guests with only chicken, and it would be a pity to kill the old hens for meat if they are not left to lay eggs.

"Let's pack up the prey and cook it. The boss, you and Mr. Xia can go inside and chat."

It's not good to be crowded in the kitchen all the time, Zhu Wei said to Zhu Kaishan.

"I'm here to help."

Yushu Niang also said that although the Xia family is a relatively wealthy merchant family, Xia Li is not a woman who can't cook.

In this day and age, it is quite difficult to find women who cannot cook.

Especially outside the homes of princes and bureaucrats.

"Let me peel off the skin for you, Chuanwu Chuanjie Xian'er, you can take Yushu Yuqing to the West Room to play."

Worried that the two men would not be able to handle the prey, Zhu Chuanwen stayed in the kitchen to help.
