Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt
Chapter 42: Reminder from the Old Hunter
"Is Grandpa Li home?"
"Who is it at home?" Li Laopao's ears and eyes were not blurry, but he was a little hunchbacked.
"It's me, Liu Xia Lian. It's winter now, so I brought you a cotton coat."
Li Laopao pointed at the bearskin coat on his body and said, "It's not a big deal. You can give it to someone else."
"Every five-guarantee household in the village has one, so just keep it."
"Sit down, sit down. Don't look at my age. I'm not bad at anything. Yesterday I caught two turtledoves and made noodles with them. They were delicious. I heard that you also hunt."
"Yes, Grandpa Li."
"Don't be offended by what Grandpa has to say. You hunt like a child, not professionally. Don't you even know what season to go and where to hunt, and what to hunt?"
Liu Xia Lian scratched her head. It was true. Although she was a good marksman, her focus was still on collecting herbs and fishing. She only hunted occasionally. She was far from a professional hunter.
"Grandpa, you smoke." Li Damei took out two ginseng cigarettes and handed them to Li Laopao.
Li Damei and Li Laopao are real relatives. They are not far apart. His grandfather and Li Laopao are cousins.
Li Lao Pao lit a cigarette, sat on a rattan chair, and said with a smile: "One sentence from me can make you gain a lot."
"Yes, you are a senior. I just hunt for fun, as an amateur." Liu Xia Lian humbly asked for advice. After all, different trades often bring different worlds.
"This season, winter is coming soon. When it's just light in the morning, go north along the main road. Not far away, there is a valley beside the road. That valley is called Guozigou. There must be moose there. They are almost 2,000 kilograms. Hunting one is enough for ordinary people to eat for several years. You will definitely make a fortune."
"Okay, Grandpa, thank you for your advice. We're leaving now and will distribute cotton clothes to other five-guarantee households."
"Okay, go ahead, girl. Be careful if you encounter a moose. This big moose is not afraid of even bears."
Liu Xialian and Li Damei were very pleased with the distribution of the cotton coats. Of course, there were also other voices. For example, the village bachelor Daosha San was not convinced. He was basking in the sun at the street corner and said to the people next to him: "Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? I don't have a cotton coat either. Why don't you give me one?"
The person next to him laughed and said, "Go ask her for it. With your thick skin, you can definitely get one."
Some also said: "Scarlett is right. He gave out gifts to an old man in his seventies, so why didn't he give one to a man of thirty-five or thirty-six? You are thirty-five and can't walk anymore, so it's unreasonable not to give you one."
Scar Three snorted coldly: "It's over if you want me to."
After a while, Liu Xia Lian came over from a household carrying more than 200 kilograms of dried motherwort, and Scar Three blocked her way.
"Sister Xia Lian, you distributed cotton coats to the five-guarantee households, but why didn't you give me one? You are doing something wrong."
Liu Xia Lian was amused, and Li Da Mei stood up to curse.
Liu Xia Lian grabbed Li Damei, took out a pack of Baishan cigarettes, and distributed a few to Scar Three and the others.
"Well, Third Brother, although I bought the cotton coat, it's up to the village chief to decide who gets it and who doesn't. I bought more than 20 coats. Go ask the village chief if there are any left. If there are, you can get one more."
Scar Three nodded and bowed when he heard this: "Okay, thank you, Sister Xia Lian. I will go ask the village chief now."
Scar Three puffed out smoke and strode towards the village brigade.
Liu Xia Lian cracked the whip and the big black mule rushed away.
Li Damei laughed and said, "Sister, you are so mean. You let Scarface get scolded. Hahaha."
"Don't offend this kind of person easily. Let the village chief take care of him. We don't need to pay any attention to him."
As the weather gradually turned colder, Liu Xialian walked five or six miles along the river and only caught three soft-shelled turtles. At this time, the soft-shelled turtles were hiding to prepare for the winter, and it seemed that the days of relying on soft-shelled turtles were coming to an end. However, it was still a good time to fish, and today I bought a hand-casting net from the supply and marketing cooperative. The two came to an unfamiliar section of the river, and as usual, they used corn to make a nest. After a while, Liu Xialian turned around, twisted her waist, and cast the big net out.
Li Damei immediately came over to help pull the net: "Sister, this net must be broken, I don't know what kind of fish can be caught."
"Carp, grass carp, and bighead carp." Liu Xia Lian said as she pulled the net hard. It was indeed a bit heavy. The two of them worked together and pulled the net to the riverside. The fish in it knew that the end was coming and kept creating huge waves.
"Wow, wow, it's full of fish." Li Damei lifted the fishing net with force, shook it on the ground, counted it and was surprised.
"Four big carps, two grass carps, and four bighead carps. There are a total of ten fish in this net, about thirty or forty kilograms. No, sister, how did you guess so accurately?"
Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "I can tell fortunes. Go and catch a few more Aohua. I'll send two fatheads to Daya and Erya's homes. Xu Shiba hired five craftsmen to repair the house today."
"Okay, sis, go ahead, I'll fish here."
Liu Xia Lian carried two bighead carps weighing five or six kilograms and soon arrived at Daya and Erya's home.
Xu Shiba was leading people to work. Daya and Erya knew nothing about construction, so they were boiling water and heating soup nearby and passing things around.
The roofs of the five main rooms were all blown off. Originally, Xu Shiba was just thinking of repairing the leaks, but yesterday he saw that the wood inside was rotten, so he decided to tear it down and rebuild the roofs.
The current practice has also changed greatly. Round logs are used as the frame, wooden boards are used as supports, a layer of straw is laid inside for warmth, and green tiles are laid outside.
The blue tiles are very waterproof and make a metallic sound when knocked. The blue tiles in the north are rectangular, the size of an A4 paper, which is fundamentally different from the tiles in the south.
The person in charge of cooking is a woman in her early thirties from the village. Her surname is Xie. She is married to Li Laosan from Lijiatun, so everyone calls her the second sister-in-law. She is tall, neat and tidy, and has a good appearance.
"Second sister-in-law, come and help with cooking."
"Yesterday Xu Shiba asked me to come over to help and make a hot meal for everyone."
"Second sister-in-law, you can cook these two bighead carps that we just caught for everyone and go to the bar tonight."
"These two fish are really big. That's it."
The workload is not small. The roof and walls with holes need to be repaired, the kang and fire wall in the house need to be rebuilt, and the fence also needs to be rebuilt. It is estimated that it will take four or five days of work.
Erya had a sad face and was boiling water.
"Erya, what's wrong?"
"I don't want to boil water at home. I want to go fishing with my sister and catch shrimps. I want to go to the forest farm with my sister."
After all, Daya and Erya are mentally immature, and it is really difficult to ask them to do things they don’t like to do. However, they are both very playful.
"Well, tomorrow morning, we'll go to the forest farm to deliver the fish, and then come back to continue fishing. Today we'll go to the big river, it's going to be fun."
"Okay, great."
The two of them jumped and danced with joy.
Originally thought to be just an ordinary fish delivery, who would have thought that something went wrong and even affected the rest of Liu Xia Lian's life.
