Chapter 004 Slowly Blending In

???? "He won't eat!" Old Chief Xiao gave Tieqing a look: "Aren't you going to go hunting in a while? Go!"

???? This is blatantly pushing people away.

???? While Tie Qing was puzzled, he didn't dare to say anything more. He was new here, so he had to take a closer look at the situation.

???? So he nodded, drank a bowl of cold white water, went to get his bow and arrow and hunting knife, and then went out to the miscellaneous forest.

???? In the miscellaneous woods, some people are collecting firewood, which are all dead branches and the like, and some people are digging tree roots. The dead trees are being used as firewood, and the roots of dead trees can also be chopped for firewood. Burning, so some people dig out the roots of the tree.

???? Everyone is a stranger, but when Tie Qing came out of Yushu Village, he would say hello. Tie Qing initially met a few people in the village, then went to the depths of the woods, crossed the woods to Xishan, and in the afternoon At that time, he carried two roe deer back.

???? "One end is my rent for your family, and the other end is for us to eat meat." Tie Qing said: "It's not convenient for me to start a fire alone here, and the two hundred catties of grain that I share will also be eaten at your home Bar!"

???? Tie Qing is not very good at cooking, not to mention that he is not very good at using the firewood stove here. After breakfast in the morning, when he went to the woods, he thought about it. It would be better to cook with the old Xiao's family. , his food is enough for him to eat for a whole winter.

???? There are also things from hunting. He is not short of money, but he has to act like he is making money. For example, if he hunts roe deer today, he can hunt wild boar tomorrow!

???? You can bring back a bear the day after tomorrow... Anyway, it's normal for the prey to sell for money.

????The roe deer in late autumn is very fat, because the animals are going to survive the winter, and they must have enough fat to survive the winter, just like the big geese raised in the farm. After the winter is cold, the big goose is the fattest time.

???? "How can this work?" Old Aunt Xiao was the first to shake her head: "This is too expensive. If you sell it in the city, it will be worth at least a tael of silver, right?"

???? There are no hunters in their village, and the others are farmers. Their hunting skills are not strong, and they don’t dare to go too far to the West Mountain, and they dare not go deep.

???? It would be nice to catch some pheasants and rabbits.

What's more, pheasants don't have two ounces of meat, so rabbits can barely fit between their teeth, and rabbit skins are just something to make.

????Old Boss Xiao also felt that something was wrong: "You can sell some money and buy some thick clothes to wear."

???? "I have clothes and leather. I don't have any oil and water at home. Let's eat some meat!" Tie Qing cheerfully said, "It can be stored for two more days now. I will eat roe deer meat in these few days."

???? "Okay!" Seeing Tie Qing's sincerity, the old boss Xiao didn't refuse, and he knew his own affairs, and the family really didn't have much oil and water. I'm all exhausted, and so is Brother Xiao. I just want to keep the cat alive for the winter and bring it back.

???? Now that there is meat to eat, who doesn’t want to eat meat?

???? "Clean it up, take a thigh, and send it to the village chief's house." Old Chief Xiao said, "The village chief's house is three yards away from our house."

???? "Oh, okay!" Tie Qing used a hunting knife to remove a leg, and carried it to the village chief's house.

???? Village Chief Wei was also polite, but Tie Qing insisted on staying, so he was not polite. After leaving the roe deer legs behind, he came back.

???? The roe deer at home has been taken care of by Old Chief Xiao.

The leather was peeled off, and the meat was taken to the back kitchen for processing. Holding the leather, Tie Qing said, "Make a few pairs of shoes, one pair for each family member."

???? These cotton boots made of roe deer skin are great.

???? Cotton boots with laminated soles, the uppers are made of roe deer skin, and some cotton is added inside, so that your feet will not freeze even if you step on the snow in winter.

???? "Success, let your aunt do it." Old boss Xiao smiled a little: "The shoes she made are very strong."

???? "Hey!" Tie Qing felt that it was probably because of the roe deer that Old Chief Xiao was no longer so repulsive.

???? In the evening, he ate rice with millet, stewed roe deer meat with sauce, and spicy fried roe deer offal. In fact, it was the internal organs of roe deer, which were cleaned up. In addition, roe deer is a vegetarian, so there is nothing wrong with clean internal organs. smell.

???? The oil and water are also full, and it tastes delicious.

???? Xiao Geer's stomach is full of embarrassment.

???? The little boy is still very capable, helping to clean up the dishes and kitchen and so on, but Tie Qing can't do it, he can't do such meticulous work, for fear of breaking the dishes and the like, the farmer's life is careful, a The tableware can be used for more than ten or twenty years without changing it.

???? Breakfast the next day was steamed dumplings stuffed with roe deer meat.

???? It was rare to improve the food, but Tie Qing went out again that day and brought back five rabbits and two pheasants.

???? Did not follow the original plan to carry a wild boar back, but found that the people of the old Xiao’s family ate very carefully. The stewed roe deer meat in sauce was considered a pure meat dish, but they didn’t eat much. The roe deer is so big. Two are enough for them to eat for a few days.

???? So the five rabbits he brought back were all alive, and the pheasant was dead: "You just make a soup, I heard that soup and water are the most nourishing, and everyone in the family can drink a few bowls to make up for it .”

???? "This?" Aunt Xiao looked at Boss Xiao.

???? "Let's make some soup then." Old boss Xiao had no objection.

????So they ate the leftover roe deer meat from yesterday and drank pheasant soup.

???? On the third day, Tie Qing went out and brought a large bundle of rope. When he came back, he did not bring a gift, but a dead tree: "I don't see much firewood at home. There are many dead trees in the mountains. , Carrying back one tree is enough to burn for a few days, I will fight a few more when I am free, and I will not go into the mountains in winter when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and I have firewood at home to avoid the cold.”

????He looks at the old and the young at home, Xiao Geer also goes to the edge of the miscellaneous woods to collect firewood every day with a few young people and little girls, but he is so young and weak, he can How much did you pick up?

???? Every time he could only carry back such a small bundle of very thin branches, not to mention that he was not resistant to burning, and he was also very tired after walking such a long way by himself.

????Others will dig out the roots of the tree and come back. After splitting it with an axe, it can be used as firewood after drying it, but who in the old Xiao family has that strength?

????Boss Xiao and Aunt Xiao are getting older, Brother Xiao is so weak, so Tie Qing took the initiative to take over the hard work, fetching water for the water tank every day, and then started thinking about firewood, and brought back some delicious food occasionally .

???? Well, you have to exchange your prey for some money, otherwise where does his "way of making money" come from?

???? "You have a heart." Old boss Xiao never expected that Tie Qing would be so discerning.

???? Tie Qing cut the dead tree into sections, and then chopped them into a size that is convenient for burning fire. Xiao Geer helped him, and stacked the wooden trippers under the window of the main room in an orderly manner. However, as for the branches and the like, they were placed on the side of the firewood at the back.

???? The atmosphere of the meal that day was even better. Regardless of the vegetables and meat, the food was still millet rice.

???? Tie Qing feels that there is a bit of home here.

Tie Qing went to the mountain again the next day, but this time in the miscellaneous forest, he met a few villagers who also wanted to go to the mountain. a man.
