Chapter 103 Visiting the Yang Family
Yang Datou choked on his saliva and coughed violently, "Oh my God! Who told you this price! Even if I have never shot or sold a deer, I know you have been cheated! Let's go home with us." , I will take you to Uncle Yang Han and let him talk to you!"
He remembered what Liu Ye told him last night about the situation of Liu Hua's family, but he couldn't think of how to help. After hearing this today, he couldn't sit still at all.
Jiang Daniu hesitated, "We still have to go home!"
Yang Datou frowned, "Why are you going back? Does your family need spring sowing or autumn harvest? Besides, there is snow outside right now, and even rats in the mountains are in winter! What can you do when you go back?"
Jiang Daniu couldn't talk to Yang Datou, so he could only follow them.
Liu Hua laughed in a low voice from behind: "Your brother-in-law doesn't want to trouble others. Besides, we can't come up with anything good in this situation. It's really outrageous to come in empty-handed."
Liu Ye didn't take it seriously, "What's the matter! Sister, don't worry, my mother-in-law is a very nice person and won't care about it."
Having said that, Liu Hua still winked at Jiang Daniu. Jiang Daniu agreed to go back with Yang Datou, but he was unwilling to take the official road and had to take the path in the mountains. Although it was closer, the road was really difficult to walk.
Just when Yang Datou and Liu Ye were climbing the mountain with their heads down, Jiang Daniu came out from nowhere, carrying a pheasant in his hand.
Liu Hua immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him. There was a welcome gift at the door!
The group of people continued to walk forward. During this period, they didn’t know how Jiang Daniu found it, but he actually let him get another hare. Seeing that they were approaching home, Yang Datou realized the purpose of Jiang Daniu’s hunting and smiled helplessly.
When a group of people walked to the door of the house.
Jiang Daniu's family looked at the high-walled gate in front of them, dumbfounded.
“Little sister, is this your husband’s family?” Liu Hua thought Liu Ye’s life would be easy, but she didn’t expect it to be so easy! How is this different from a landlord's house?
Liu Ye nodded and shouted: "Aniang, we are back!"
After a while, the courtyard door opened. Yang Erdan was a little curious when he saw the four members of the Jiang family, and warmly greeted everyone into the house.
Looking at the clean and tidy yard, Jiang Daniu and his family of four subconsciously rubbed the mud on the spot for a long time before hesitantly stepping in.
Liu Hua was completely speechless when she saw the whitewashed tile-roofed house.
Jiang Ning came out with brown sugar **** water, and Liu Ye quickly stepped forward to take it, "Auntie, this is my eldest brother-in-law and her two children."
Jiang Ning looked over one by one and smiled gently: "Since she is Zi Zi's eldest sister, she is also a relative. You are welcome. You have just come back. I will make you some hot soup noodles to warm your stomach. Let's have a good meal tonight, Zi Zi. What do you want to eat?”
“Hmm, mommy, can I have mushroom and chicken noodle soup?” Willow Ye asked with a smile.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "Okay! I'll make you a fried egg and some winter bamboo shoots, please add some more."
Liu Ye’s head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
Liu Hua was stunned. When Jiang Ning went out, she blurted out: "Little sister, your mother-in-law is so doting on her! She is doting on her even more than my mother-in-law!"
"That's right! My mother-in-law is no different from my own mother!" Liu Ye raised her chin proudly and took Liu Hua to see the kang-burning room.
Liu Hua only felt that she and Liu Ye were from different worlds, and everything about the Yang family completely overturned her understanding.
When the soup was served, the four Jiang family members who tasted Jiang Ning’s craftsmanship were completely convinced. After noon, Jiang Ning cleaned up the pheasants and rabbits that Jiang Daniu had brought over and prepared them for dinner in the evening. Yang Datou took Jiang Daniu's family of four to Yang Han's house, carrying a box of cakes in his hand.
The mountains were covered with snow during the Chinese New Year. Yang Han did not go into the mountains, but was tinkering with tools at home. When he saw people coming, he immediately invited them into the house to sit on the kang.
Yang Datou introduced Jiang Daniu to Yang Han and said, "Uncle Han, please tell my brother-in-law the price of game we sell here, otherwise he will always suffer a loss!"
Jiang Daniu smiled and scratched his head.
Liu Hua held her two children and sat on the edge of the kang, looking at Yang Han's house.
Yang Han nodded slightly, "There's nothing I can't say. Just ask whatever you want!"
“Well, Uncle Han, how do you usually sell the wild deer you hunt?” Yang Datou asked curiously.
Everyone else listened with all their ears pricked up.
Yang Han's eyes widened and he laughed and cursed, "Do you think wild deer are so easy to hunt? Just ask this when you come up! If you really hit a deer, you have to look at the size. Adult stags are the most valuable. The antlers, blood, venison and deer skin are separated. If you sell it, you can earn about two taels."
“Two two two two two liang?” Jiang Daniu stretched out **** in shock, and his fingers were still trembling.
Liu Hua was stunned and forgot to close her mouth.
Yang Han nodded slightly, "Yes, that's the price. Wild deer are hard to hunt and you may not be able to catch them if you encounter them. Let's talk about common ones! For example, snakes. The more poisonous the snakes are, the more valuable they are. Drug stores mainly collect Snake gallbladders, snake skins are collected in grocery stores, pawnshops also collect them, and snake meat is collected in restaurants and inns. Usually, a snake can be sold for tens to hundreds of cash.
Wild boars are also common, and they are quite valuable. I once killed a three-hundred-jin wild boar and sold it whole for five cents per catty, making a profit of fifteen hundred cents.
Common game such as hares and pheasants are not very valuable, but people still buy them, but the price is lower. Pheasants are usually 20 cents, and hares are 25 cents. As long as they are big and not small, it will be different if you can tan the fur. , a good-quality rabbit skin can be sold for fifty coins, which is much more valuable than rabbit meat!
In addition to these wild game, the medicinal materials in the mountains are also valuable, but be sure not to sell them to the recipients. You have to take them to the medical center and pharmacy yourself, otherwise the price will be lowered. "
Jiang Daniu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then burst into tears, "Those black-hearted people, how much money have they defrauded us!"
Liu Hua had a pale face and covered her chest with one hand. She felt like the sky was falling and she wiped her tears together.
Yang Datou comforted: "I think you should be happy. At least we now know that we have been cheated, and we will not sell to them in the future."
Jiang Daniu regained his composure, wiped his tears, and sighed, "But our place is too remote and it's not easy to get out of the mountains. If I don't sell it to him, I don't know who to sell it to!"
When Yang Han heard what Yang Datou said about the situation in Xiaping Valley, he frowned and said in deep thought: "It's really remote there, but there's also a lot of game. Well, it's not easy for you to get out of the mountain, but it should be okay just to walk to the official road!"
Jiang Daniu nodded, "It only takes about an hour to walk from the mountain to the official road."
Yang Han nodded and looked at Yang Datou, "Don't Erdan have to haul materials all the time? You can't keep borrowing other people's oxcarts. It's more than enough to buy an oxcart yourself with your family's conditions. You can set a date with them to collect it. There are a lot of aquatic products over there in Songxi Town, but there is less game. Maybe your boss will accept it. If that happens, it will be much easier. If that doesn’t work, you can also go to the Dashan Inn and they’ll accept all kinds of game.”
