Chapter 2078

At night, there was light snow. The snow, falling on the ground, turned into water.

Tiekui said, "Dad, it's snowing. Let's not go down the mountain again!" For more than half a month, Tiehu was as busy as the top. Tiekui was worried that he would be tired.

Iron Tiger looked at the ground and said with a smile, "I will go to the mountains tomorrow. If you hunt wild animals, you should go again. If not, they will not go down the mountain. " Little snow is not afraid of heavy snow. It's not easy to go down the mountain if it's snowed heavily.

Fortunately, the next day the Iron Tiger met a lone wild bull. With a lot of effort, iron tiger killed him. Clean up, there are more than 400 Jin of meat. About a quarter of them stay at home, while the others and tiekui go down the mountain to sell.

According to the news that Donghu people entered the customs, most of them slaughtered or sold their livestock. Keep them and spoil the food. And how can people raise livestock when they don't have enough to eat. In winter, the meat can be preserved until March next year when it snows, so now the meat is very popular. The price is also much higher than that of grain, which ordinary people can't afford at all. Well, as long as there is meat on the market, it will be looted soon. Chen Ji's shop got the wild things sent by Iron Tiger, so he didn't sell them at all.

The shopkeeper settled the account directly at the market price. After deducting the Commission, he handed the 23 Liang silver to Tiehu and said with a smile, "Dahu, no matter how much you send, I can sell it for you." He didn't sell the meat in the town at all, but sent it to the county to sell. Now it's cold and the meat is not afraid of being bad. In the county, the price is 20% more than that in the town.

Iron Tiger shook his head and said, "it's snowing outside. We can't go down the mountain any more. This should be the last trip."

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "then you will send more wild things next spring. You can rest assured that you will get a good price." When next spring comes, he can't just draw Commission.

Iron Tiger knew that such a good thing could not always have been, and quickly replied, "OK."

On the way back, tiekui asked, "Daddy, how much money have we saved now?"

"Iron tiger said:" a hundred and thirty-six Liang silver deposit When he said this, Iron Tiger's face also showed a smile.

In the first two years, apart from purchasing daily necessities and fine grains, all other money was saved. But it took two years to save, and only 28 liang of silver. But this year, he has saved 108 liang of silver. In fact, the grain and meat sold in the past half a month alone earned ninety liang of silver.

Tiekui thought the silver was too little: "Dad, we are going to move down the mountain. First of all, we have to buy a piece of land to build a house. In addition, we have to buy some fields so that we don't have to buy food all the time. I'm afraid the silver is not enough. " More than one hundred liang of silver sounds like a lot, but it's the most useless.

Tiehu said with a smile: "I'm from Tiejia village. I don't need to buy the foundation, just let the village head approve a piece of land for us. As for the house, wood and other things can be solved by ourselves. " That's a lot less.

Tiekui has his idea: "Dad, we need to build a house, and naturally we need to build a big brick house. Such a house is not only imposing but also comfortable to live in. "

Iron Tiger laughed: "OK, we'll build big brick houses, and we'll build six rooms. When you get married and have children, you don't worry about no place to live. " From tiekui to Tiejia, Tiehu is full of energy. No longer like before, daily busy from morning to night but do not see a little hope, some are just endless fatigue.

Tiekui smiled and didn't answer. In fact, he made an idea for Chunni to recruit her son-in-law. Nowadays, as long as the conditions of this world are good, even if you want to recruit a son-in-law, you can also choose vigorously. If the conditions are not good, we can only choose crooked melon and cracked dates. So building a good house is the first step. Next, we have to buy fields. Just these words, he just thought but didn't say.

Father and son are very lucky. It snowed heavily in the evening when they got home. The next day, the snow came to tie Kui's knees.

It's impossible to go out in such a heavy snow.

Tiekui suggested, "Mom and Dad, let's have hot pot at night!" It's not so exciting to eat a hot hot pot on such a cold day. And the family sat together to eat, the atmosphere is very good.

Kim thinks it's too expensive.

As a result, before he spoke, Iron Tiger laughed and said, "OK, I'll eat the pot in the evening."

Chunni agreed with both hands. From the beginning of spring to now, I have been busy except for the Mid Autumn Festival. Even in the evening, there are many things to do. But both sisters are sensible, even if they are tired, they don't complain.

The beef bone used in the soup bottom, the main course is wild beef naturally, as well as cabbage, bean sprouts, mushrooms, agaric, pumpkin, yam and other vegetables.

This evening, the whole family, including Kim's, had a round stomach.

When cleaning up the dishes, Jin couldn't help muttering, "it's too expensive to eat food and vegetables like this." In the middle of the day, I ate about ten jin of meat and a lot of vegetables. These things are enough to eat for several days.

After making so much money, iron tiger is in a good mood these days. After hearing this, he said, "it's not like eating every day, just once in a while. Moreover, I'm tired and tired, not for their brothers and sisters. Otherwise, I'm greedy for something. " It's mainly for tie Kui. He's working harder now, and his son will be more relaxed.

Jin did not dare to say anything.

There are so many things missing in the family, Jin's heart is also muttering. She didn't dare to ask Tiehu, so she asked Tiehu privately, "kuizi, tell your mother, how much silver have you sold these days?"

Tiekui shook his head and said, "I don't know. Niang, no matter how much money you sell, father will use it at home. " Iron Tiger is not like Jin family. He works so hard for the family to create better living conditions for his children.

Kim's disappointment: "he even kept it from you." Son but their husband and wife for the second half of their lives, did not expect that the husband did not even tell his son.

Tiekui said: "Niang, you are wrong. Dad didn't tell me, because he didn't think I was old enough to work. "

Jin's face is a little chatty.

Tiekui thought for a moment and said, "Niang, those people in the Jin family are vampires. Don't contact them later."

After hearing this, Jin was very angry: "how can you say such a thing? The Jin family is your outsider."

"Niang, the Jin family sold you to dad for 30 Liang silver. At that time, when giving money, dad said he would not recognize this relative. A Niang, our three brothers and sisters have nothing to do with the Jin family. " Fortunately, my father didn't recognize them. Otherwise, they would have been annoyed by such a cheeky and greedy foreigner.

Jin's tears fell: "how can it not matter? Kuizu, that's your grandmother and uncle. "

Tiekui knew that it didn't make sense to reason with Jin's family, so he said directly: "a Niang, if you still miss our three brothers and sisters in this family, don't walk around with Jin's family. Otherwise, I will annoy my father. He really sent you back to the Jin family. We can't stop him. " No man can afford a daughter-in-law with no bottom line.

Kim's face was white. After fighting her last time, Tiehu lived separately from her, and now she is unwilling to move back to the house.

Tiekui looked at her face and said, "Niang, how do you think about it? Is it the Jin family or the husband and children Normally speaking, it's the husband and children that matter. But the brain circuit of Jin's family is unusual. After moving down the mountain, tiekui can't guarantee that she won't communicate with Jin's family. He will try his best to persuade what should be advised. Others, there is nothing we can do.

In winter, it's very cold on the mountain. Iron tigers usually go out when the weather is good. When it snows, they stay at home to teach tiekui martial arts or chop firewood to repair the house. The real thing is that they don't stop for a moment.

By the end of April, it will be warmer the next year. At this time, wild vegetable balls become the main food, but they will be served with cold wild vegetables or fried meat with wild vegetables.

This day tiekui went hunting on the mountain. In the evening, he brought back a boar weighing 100 kg.

When tiekui saw that he had put down the boar, he was not right. He asked, "Dad, are you hurt?"

Iron Tiger said with a smile, "it's OK. It's scratched by thorns." I'm afraid tie Kui doesn't believe it. Roll up his sleeve.

Tiekui looked at it. It was actually scratched by thorns, but the wound was deep. Tiekui quickly gave him hot water to scrub the wound, and then put some plaster on it.

In the evening, tiekui won't let Tiehu do it, but let him teach on the side. Fearing that Tiehu would not agree, tiekui hurriedly said, "Dad, sooner or later I will learn these things."

Iron Tiger said with a smile, "OK."

Because it's the first time, it's a bit of a toss. Especially when the pig is divided into two parts, the iron tiger can be cut down with several knives. But tie Kui, after a long struggle, left. But no one laughed at him.

Because iron tiger's arm was hurt, tie Kui didn't let him carry boar meat on his shoulder, but carried it with the back of the basket. And he also carried 30 jin.

When I arrived in town, it was obviously much more lively than last year. In particular, there are many people selling things in the market, including those selling wild things.

They carried the boar meat to the game shop, and sold it for two liang of silver. It's the shopkeeper's according to the highest price. If you go to the market, it'll probably sell for about half.

In the beginning of spring, everything recovers, and wild vegetables can fill their stomachs. Some food, grain and meat prices have also fallen.

After going out, iron tiger said regretfully, "I knew that last year I should have sold all the bacon at home."

Last year, a jin of wild boar meat was sold to sixty or seventy Wen or more, and now it is only more than 10 Wen. The price is five or six times lower.

Every time I carry my family's meat down the mountain, Iron Tiger hesitates. Or tiekui has been persuading, only to sell three quarters of the bacon at home. The remaining quarter was eaten up by the family in winter.

Tiekui said with a smile, "Dad, you can't let your family eat potherb every day to make money!" Under his insistence, the food of Tiejia was very good. Not to mention him, even Chunxiang and Chunni have grown up a lot. The two sisters are now as tall as their peers.

Iron Tiger think also: "you are right."

After selling the wild vegetables, Tiehu and tiekui said, "let's go to Tiejia village and tell your grandfather about the homestead." The head of Tiejia village ranks ninth among all the brothers, so Tiehu has to call him Grandpa nine.

Tiekui said, "Dad, you can't go empty handed when you ask for help." Well, I have to bring some presents.

Although he loves money, Tiehu believes in tiekui. Father and son then went to the grocery store and bought a box of cakes and a jin of brown sugar. There are not many things, but it costs more than 60 Wen. Now things are very expensive, especially things like brown suga
