Master is not to be provoked

Seeing Ke Muai and Jing Yunsong coming out of the darkness, the five of them were stunned and stunned for a moment, and Xiao Wang was the first to call out: "Didn't you climb a mountain and get there soon? We have been walking for a long time, and we will arrive after dark."

Ke Muai put on an innocent look: "It's really close. We came from there, and we'll get there in two hours at most. Why did you walk for a long time? And it's true that you only crossed a mountain, and then you can see The Shanyin River, didn’t you see the river on the mountain? And didn’t you come down the hillside directly?”

Xiao Wang was speechless, but he was still furious. Assistant Qi signaled him not to speak, turned around and said to Ke Muai, "Son, how do you sell your pheasants?"

Ke Muai came over with the chicken: "120 yuan a pair, not only for sale, this is a wild pheasant, you can't eat it outside, and the hotels in the city are all domesticated, especially for male and female adults like me. Yes."

"One hundred and two." Except for Xiao Wang, the other four gathered around, and that Su Ye said, "Can you bargain? The weather is so hot, if you don't sell us, it will stink tomorrow if you leave it overnight."

Ke Muai shook her head: "If you don't buy it, I'll use the car to pickle the meat. When I eat it later, I will roast it or fry it. They are all delicious."

"80 yuan, isn't your family's condition very good? 80 yuan is enough to pay for one year's books, and it's not a lot. We have seen your dad these days. With your family's conditions, let this If you don’t earn 80 yuan, isn’t it too extravagant to eat chicken yourself? If you sell the chicken to us and buy pork with 80 yuan, you can buy about ten catties, isn’t it more economical than eating chicken?”

Ke Muai raised his head and looked at Su Ye. He was about 1.7 meters tall, with a crew cut, slender eyes, and a pair of thin lips. He hasn't lost anyone yet.

"What you said just now is from my side, from your side..." He swiped his hand, "You five have been walking for a day, tired and hungry, and you can't even start a fire. I guess You can't catch pheasants, hares, river fish...you can't even catch frogs, you can only eat canned sausages you brought, can't you eat these things in the city? Run here and suffer. You can live anywhere in the city If you eat a pair of pheasants in a restaurant, they are all domesticated, and you can’t afford 200 yuan, and in the current situation, a meal of hot dishes and hot soup is probably far more than this price for you, right? I want one hundred and two It's already very kind, but you cut it down to [-], and you see that we children don't understand things, so you want to take advantage of us." After speaking, he looked at Su Ye with a look of contempt, and turned around while pulling Jing Yunsong just go.

"Hey, don't go, we can discuss the price..."

"What the hell are you negotiating!" Xiao Wang yelled from behind, "Isn't it just 120 yuan, give it to him quickly, I'm going to starve to death!"

Assistant Qi took money out of his pocket, Su Ye stopped him, took out 200 yuan himself, and handed it over: "Can you find it?"

"Yes, I can find it even if you take out 1000 million Ming coins." Ke Muai took out a cloth bag from her pocket, took out the money from the cloth bag, and folded them up. Insert one by one, and finally form a circle, each circle is one yuan, he kept taking out twenty pieces in total, plus a lot of dime coins, and then drew out five Great Unity, all Line up on the grass, one pile on the left and one pile on the right, "Hey, it's exactly 80 yuan, count it up."

Su Ye was dumbfounded looking at such a pile of money: "Is there any money?" He rolled his eyes after asking, and rubbed his nose, "Forget it, as much as you like, it's not worth anything anyway." Ask the assistant Xiaoman to collect the money.

Putting the 120 yuan back into his pocket, Ke Muai did not leave immediately, but took off his clothes on the bank with Jing Yunsong, and jumped into the river to swim: "Let's compete to see who can swim faster!" After speaking, he dived into the water , swam along the water for dozens of meters before surfacing, and wiped the water off his face. Jing Yunsong was not as good at water as he was, and was paddling with his hands like a wheel.

The five people on the shore stared at the two pheasants, and Xiao Wang yelled at the other four: "What are you looking at, roast them quickly!"

Su Ye spread his hands together: "I can't do it..." Several other people also expressed that they hadn't done it.

Assistant Qi was a little older. He took a fruit knife and pointed at the pheasant's stomach up and down, but finally gave up.

Su Ye walked to the river bank and shouted at the young man playing in the river: "Do you two have after-sales service? Help clean up the chicken."

Ke Muai stepped on the water: "A chicken costs ten yuan, and I'll clean it up for you."

"I've lost money! Just help clean up and ask for money?"

Ke Muai smiled and said, "It's a favor to help you, and it's a duty not to help you. Do we have a favor? I'm a duty-bound person."

Xiao Wang said: "Hurry up and give him the money, let him clean up, and make a fuss, and it will be dawn later."

He asked his assistant to take out 20 yuan. Ke Muai and Jing Yunsong went ashore, collected the money, each took out a small knife, carried the chicken to the river, and quickly opened it up. Xiao Wang and the others brought a stainless steel pot , Ke Muai turned up the bonfire, boiled a large pot of boiling water, and plucked the chickens. In the end, only the clean white striped chickens were left.

Is it okay to eat this time?However, it was not possible. The five people continued to stare at the carcasses of the two pheasants. Assistant Qi took out a folding imitation saber and cut several times but was blocked by the bones. A thigh was torn off, but the chicken skin was torn off in one piece, leaving only a bare chicken leg, which made the others laugh.

"Kids, how about giving you another ten dollars and helping us roast the chicken?"

"No, for 30 yuan, I will roast two chickens for you to eat. It's not much. If you go to a hotel in the city, you have to pay the waiter a hundred dollars. I want 30 yuan." If you don’t want to pay for the service fee, forget it, I’ll teach you a way, throw the whole chicken into the pot and cook it, you can barely eat it when it’s cooked, but it smells a little fishy, ​​and it tastes disgustingly greasy..."

"Stop talking! Give me the money!" Xiao Wang asked the assistant to give the money.

After taking the money, Ke Muai immediately began to work, asked Jing Yunsong to collect firewood, and asked for dry branches that were easy to burn, and started to dismantle the chicken frame by himself. Break it into small pieces, take out a bamboo stick from the noodle pocket on your back, put them on one by one, wait for Jing Yunsong to pick up the firewood, make the campfire burn steadily, and take the stainless steel oven brought by Xiao Wang and the others , put the meat skewers on top, and he took out the seasoning he brought: "I have thirteen spices, cumin, pepper, and perilla, which are specially used for barbecue after we entered the mountains. No matter how much money you spend elsewhere, you can’t eat my flavor.”

Su Ye asked with great interest: "Why do you have so many? You can still catch pheasants. We brought air guns out, but we didn't even see any pheasants."

"I grew up here since I was a child, so I naturally know how to survive in this forest. I am the owner of this place. I have been in the past, I am now, and I will be in the future." Ke Muai looked at the dark night sky, with fire in his eyes, he I have always had a wish, which is to save enough money as soon as possible, and when the village opens up the contracting of mountain land, I will contract it here, and never let it be cut down into a bald mountain like later generations!
