Chapter 279 Target: 1 Bag Mountain
Many people saw it when Suozi fished the octagonal nut out of the water.
At that time, Mo Shougui also said that he would buy it with three hundred taels of silver, but in the end Yu Hongdou was afraid that if he gave the money on the spot, he would reveal his wealth and bring him trouble, so he thought about looking for him later.
Later, Yu Song made a trip on behalf of his sister and gave Suozi two choices: to take the three hundred taels or to arrange a long-term job for him.
Suozi chose the second one without thinking, and then Yu Song went back and talked to Yu Sanlang. Yesterday, Yu Sanlang came back with a letter, asking Suozi to go to the east gate of Wu'an County to work in three days.
Working at the city gate means being a gatekeeper, which is not a high-ranking job.
Originally, the monthly salary was only one and a half taels of silver. But now that Wu'an City has had excellent tax revenue and political performance in recent years, the county government has money, and the treatment of these small servants has also been improved. The monthly salary has risen to two taels of silver, and there are additional benefits during festivals.
In addition, Yu Song also gave the children of Suozi's family a pure silver lock and bracelets, worth about one hundred taels.
So Suozi, who appeared in front of everyone today, was particularly proud and honored, and was also very grateful and humble to the Yu family.
Suozi greeted Hongdou cheerfully: "Today, Brother Suozi will show you his skills."
"Bragging! Hongdou, don't listen to his bragging. He can only catch a fish in the water. He can't even catch a rabbit in the mountains." The person next to him spoiled the fun and ridiculed Suozi in a half-sour tone.
"When did I say I was going to catch rabbits? I meant I was going to grill meat for Hongdou. I'm not bragging, I'm really good at grilling meat. Today I even brought my wife's secret sauce."
Suozi was not angry. He punched the man who mocked him on the shoulder, then turned around and made a promise to Yu Hongdou.
Yu Hongdou agreed with a smile: "Okay, let's try Brother Suozi's cooking today."
Today was the first time that so many people went up the mountain together. Wangwang was a bit of an audience-pleaser and ran ahead at the front. He caught a pair of fat rabbits in the first battle.
The men in the village all knew that the Yu family had a peculiar-looking dog. It was said that the dog was extremely rare. A nobleman took a fancy to the dog, but the Yu family did not sell it. The nobleman loved the dog but could not get it, and yet he was infatuated with it and gave gifts to the dog every year.
It is also said that this dog eats better than humans. Those gossipy men, women, young and old often whisper behind Yu Sanlang's back, saying that Yu Sanlang spoils the child and doesn't even want the opportunity that he has.
Now that I have seen Wangwang’s abilities with my own eyes, I can’t help but applaud.
Along the way, Wangwang galloped at lightning speed and displayed his great power. Because there were so many people, Yu Hongdou did not stop him. As a result, by the time they reached the foot of Yibao Mountain, their prey was enough for the large group to eat.
Tan Langxu followed Wangwang all the way, observing and encouraging it when it was hunting, and occasionally teaching Wangwang how to save more time and effort, which left Yu Hongdou stunned.
"He has a dog?" When they arrived at the camping place, Yu Hongdou saw Tan Langxu taking Wangwang to the riverside as soon as possible. He followed and whispered to Tan Yanlin beside him.
"No, maybe they just want to take the opportunity to have some fun. After all, they can't get the love they want." Tan Yanlin couldn't help laughing when he thought of the descriptions of those men just now.
Yu Hongdou covered her mouth and gave Tan Yanlin a "really mean" look. Tan Yanlin shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, imitating her before.
The two of them were tickling someone else over here, and someone over there was tickling them, or rather, it was the three of them.
"Hey, you tell me, wherever Hongdou goes, these two noble men will follow, right..." The man who had been sour on the locket before was acting mean again, staring at the three people over there and muttering in a low voice to the person who was making a fire nearby.
"You should be more kind-hearted. Hongdou is so young. From my perspective, you are just playing together as kids. Can you think of something serious with your pig brain? Do you want to offend the Yu family to death?" The man who lit the fire glanced over there and scolded in a low voice.
Everyone knows that the third son of the Yu family dotes on his children the most. In the past, he had a falling out with the eldest wife just for this little girl and forced old man Yu to divide the family.
Now the Yu family has an official and a juren, so he still dares to talk nonsense. Is Qing waiting for others to punish him?
"That's not what I meant. Oh, forget it~" The sour-looking man calmed down, but finally looked over there.
Yu Song, who had returned earlier from collecting firewood and mushrooms with Suozi, stood behind a big tree, staring at the sour-looking man in silence for a long time.
He then looked over at the three people and one dog who were skipping stones in the creek, stood there thoughtfully for a while before walking out.
"The trees on this mountain must have been specially transplanted. They are starting to turn red now. In another month, the whole mountain will be bright red. From a distance, they will look like fire. It will be very beautiful."
The oldest man who came with them broke off a branch and showed it to Yu Hongdou and the two Tan brothers.
Yu Hongdou took it in her hand and felt that it looked a bit like the red leaves she had seen in Xiangshan in the capital before, but she couldn't remember what the tree was called.
"It seems to be burning but not because of fire, like a flower that does not need to be pounded. This is the red leaf tree, also called Huanglongtou. The Xianglu Mountain next to the capital is also planted with red leaf trees. In the golden autumn of October, the whole mountain is covered with red."
Tan Yanlin picked a leaf, looked at it in the light, wiped it with his sleeve, and talked about a place in the capital with similar scenery to here.
Yu Hongdou sensitively thought of Xiangshan. She remembered that Xiangshan in the capital seemed to look like an incense burner?
If she remembered correctly, it was the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty who moved the capital northward. So, were the red leaves of the so-called Xianglu Mountain there before or were they planted after the last emperor moved the capital?
This question flashed through Yu Hongdou's mind and was quickly thrown behind her because a strange fragrance came with the wind.
"What a nice smell!" Yu Hongdou floated to the front of the fire and actually saw Suozi being grilled. The strange aroma came from the meat being grilled by his hands.
"Hehe, your sister-in-law's exclusive secret sauce, just brush a little on it when grilling, it will surely make people drool." Suozi looked very proud, very proud of his wife's cooking skills.
"Then sister-in-law, have you ever thought about setting up a stall or opening a shop or something?" Yu Hongdou asked casually.
These words immediately opened up Suozi's Ren and Du meridians.
His parents died early, his brothers and sisters separated their families and got married, and he was about to go to the city to work, so he was really worried about leaving his wife and children alone at home.
Hongdou was right. Since he had this skill, why didn't he just take his wife and children to the city and set up a barbecue stall next to the city gate. He could look after it during the day and go home together after his shift was over...
"Hongdou, how come you are so smart! Here, all these are for you!" After Suozi figured it out, he immediately smiled at Yu Hongdou like a chrysanthemum and happily handed over the whole pheasant in his hand.
Yu Hongdou was a little confused, but she reacted quickly.
I took the pheasant with a smile, tore off a piece of meat without fear of the heat and put it to my mouth. I instantly felt like I had dug up a treasure, it tasted really good!
If Suozi's family really went to the city to set up a stall, she would probably have to patronize them!
After a satisfying meal, and being kind enough to find a delicious treat for herself, Yu Hongdou was very excited. She took out her slingshot, ready to show off her skills and get dinner early.
It's a pity that God didn't give her this opportunity.
