Chapter 119 Golden Autumn

But they work hard too.

The work in the field is heavy, and the body is covered with stinky sweat every day. Fortunately, there are many large wooden barrels in Tie’s house, which are filled with water every day. I sweat a lot, and my whole body is rotten. There is a large bathroom in the house. Everyone can go in and wash, not only men and boys, but also brothers, husbands and female relatives can go to wash, because there are two bathrooms, big and small. Can be washed separately.

The second time I shoveled the ground very quickly, but after I finished shoveling the ground, I still had to tidy up the vegetable garden at home.

Tie Qing basically didn't need to intervene in all kinds of farm work, so Tie Qing went up to the mountains to hunt.

Now at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the prey on the mountain should have grown. After he went up the mountain, he hunted.

He even took out a litter of wild boars and came back.

Two big wild boars with twelve young wild boars.

When he got off the mountain, he was discovered by someone. Tieli drove the carriage to pick him up. Looking at the wild boar, he happily rubbed his hands: "These pork are enough to last for a few days."

The meat consumption in the family is high, and while the food is good, it also costs a lot of money, and a lot of money is spent on meat every month.

But the long-term workers in the family really work hard, they eat well, they are famous in the village, there is no way, there is too much work.

Five hundred acres of land.

Adding the old man's family's land and Aunt Xiao's land together, it's [-] mu.

There is a lot of work and messy, but fortunately there are these long-term workers.

There are more than 20 piglets raised in the family, and now they are half grown, and they will be able to kill and eat meat starting next year.

"I went to hunt them specially. Although these wild boar meats are rough, they are not bad at oil and water." Tie Qing said, "We all killed and ate the meat. It's time to clean up the autumn. Let everyone eat more meat so that we can work hard."

"Let's go, let's go home!" Tie Li and Tie Qing carried the wild boar into the car.

Tie Li led the horse away, but Tie Qing didn't get into the cart. There were two big wild boars and a group of small wild boars in the cart, and Tie Qing was carrying a lot of things himself.

When he went up the mountain, he not only took out the wild boar's nest, but also killed a few fat rabbits and a dozen pheasants.

He only kept five pheasants, and sent the rest to Aunt Xiao's grocery store next door for consignment. Some people actually bought them, because there was a lactating woman in the family, and in order to give milk to the mother, he boiled pheasant soup to nourish his body.

Anyway, the price is not expensive, and pheasant can nourish the body and produce milk better than domestic chicken, and some people stew pheasant with crucian carp for better effect.

The wild boars came back, this time they didn't sell the wild boar, but they all stayed at home. The person who took care of these wild boars turned out to be the lame gatekeeper, Sun Kong.

"Can you do it?" Tie Qing felt that Sun Kong's legs and feet were not convenient, but he could still cook this wild boar?

"Did the owner underestimate people?" Sun Kong laughed: "In the past, I was a part-time job for butchers, and I could kill pigs, but no one asked me to kill, and after that, my legs and feet were not good, and no one thought I could do it." , no one will invite me to butcher pigs, but ah, I learned this craft from an old butcher, it is absolutely guaranteed, you can rest assured!"

Don't look at Sun Kong with a lame leg, but with a butcher's knife, he walked around two big wild boars twice, looking eager to try: "Come on, boil water, even though they are dead, they can still be cooked."

The skin of the wild boar is not allowed, so the dead wild boar has to be skinned.

Sun Kong's craftsmanship is really not covered, Tie Qing came back in the afternoon, and ate wild boar in the evening.

Braised wild pork in a big pot, brought the old Xiao couple and Aunt Xiao four over to eat wild pork, and sent a pot to the old Wei village head's family.

There are also two relatives' families, as well as a few good friends. The wild pork in a large porcelain bowl is picked and sent to the family.

Tie Qing likes to eat lean meat.

The wild boar stomach was well preserved, and Tie Qing took the wild boar stomach and brother Xiao to the county seat the next day, and sold the wild boar stomach to the old doctor Ren.

"Show it to my husband." Tie Qing sat there, and after receiving the money, he looked at the old doctor Ren eagerly.

The old doctor Ren looked at the wild boar's stomach, and when he heard Tie Qing's request, he said, "My son can take the pulse."

"Doctor Ren's medical skills are not as good as your youngest." Tie Qing licked his face, and sat in front of Old Doctor Ren with Xiao Xiaoge: "Show me, husband, how is your health?"

Brother Xiao was puzzled: "Sir, I'm fine."

It's okay, what do you want to see, doctor?

"If you have nothing to do, please ask for a safe pulse." Tie Qing said: "This is what mother means."

"Why?" Brother Xiao didn't want to see a doctor, he thought he was quite strong.

"Because mother is anxious, she said that we have been married for almost a year, and there is no good news." Tie Qing said with a straight face, "I'm afraid you are not in good health."

In fact, in his opinion, brother Xiao is in good health, although he was a little weak before, isn't he well-raised now?What's more, he still doesn't know if he can give birth.

But they are not in a hurry, the old man is in a hurry on the pole.

"Then let's have a look!" Brother Xiao is actually a little anxious himself, look at Brother Bin, you will be married, and you will be a kid all your life.

He is more stressed than Brother Bin. Brother Bin at least has an older brother, married a wife and had children, and only needs to pass on the family line to the old Xiao's family.

I not only want to pass on the lineage to the old Tie family, but also to continue the incense of their old Xiao family.

The old doctor Ren gave a pulse: "You are in good health, and Xiao Fulang is in good shape. As long as you don't mess around on purpose, you won't even catch a cold."

Brother Xiao blushed: "Thank you."

"It's good to be fine, health is the most important thing." Tie Qing also gave the old doctor two wild rabbits as a gift: "Stew it and eat it, and it will also make up for it."

"You can pull it down. If there is such a good thing in the future, bring it to me." The old doctor has been playing with medicinal materials all his life, and he loves these things. Wild boar belly is a good thing, and it is a unique cure for stomach problems.

After leaving the pharmacy, the couple went to the market again and bought some salt.

"We need to buy more salt for our family. Autumn is coming soon, and we have to pickle vegetables." Xiao Geer is very concerned about the firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea at home, for fear of stopping.

There are two cans of tea at home.

"Let's go to Wang's Grocery Store. The things in their house are cheap. Let's buy more and buy them for my aunt." Tie Qing said: "People in the village have to use salt to pickle vegetables, don't they?"

Brother Xiao nodded: "Yes."

Compared to making a special trip to the county for Yanba, you have to stay here for one night before you can go back.

It is better to buy salt nearby in the village!

"Let's go, go to the place with a lot of groceries over there to buy." Tie Qing took Brother Xiao to the grocery street.

From Wang's grocery store, I bought [-] catties of coarse salt and [-] catties of fine salt.

There are also some dried kelp, dried shrimp and dried seaweed.

Five or six hundred catties of goods, the two of them drove the carriage back to the village leisurely the next day, and unloaded the goods for Aunt Xiao.

"It just so happens that there isn't much salt left." Aunt Xiao was immediately happy when she saw so much salt: "It's too troublesome for me to go and buy."

Every time the three older brothers take turns to accompany her to buy goods, and every time she buys goods, she has to live in the county town for one night. Even if she sleeps in Datong shop, it will cost money.

What's more, buying goods also requires money, so she went there specially, and it wouldn't be worthwhile if she didn't buy too much.

If she buys more, she really doesn't need so much.

"I know that there is not much salt. After a while, the autumn harvest will be busy, and the autumn vegetables will be pickled, so there is no salt." Brother Xiao shared half of the dried kelp and dried seaweed with Aunt Xiao. There is no point for dried shrimps, because dried shrimps are expensive and no one buys them: "These aunts keep them for sale."

"Okay!" Aunt Xiao looked at it: "But, this is too much, right?"

"Not much. These sea vegetables have a salty taste. After soaking them, they can be eaten without adding salt." Tie Qing put the things in the counter: "Business is so good?"

There are a lot of things on the counter, but there are not many stocks. Apart from small profits but quick turnover, there is not much stock.

"Business is good, but they are all in the same village, and many people want to pay on credit." Aunt Xiao was still troubled: "I don't know many words, let alone other people. They don't know words, why? Keeping the IOUs? What should I do if I don’t accept the account?”

Villagers in the countryside hardly have any cash income, and what they point to all year round is the profit in the field. If they want to have cash, they have to lay eggs from the poultry at home and take them to the town to sell. It costs money to stay overnight.

In addition, there are too many people who owe money on credit. It seems inappropriate for her not to agree. If she agrees, the first account is difficult to keep, and the second is to press the payment.

"Isn't Auntie good at keeping accounts?" Brother Xiao said, "Can we keep accounts and ask them to sign and make deposits?"

"I know how to read like that." Aunt Xiao was very annoyed: "It can't be justified without credit, who always has cash."

"Then what should I do?" Living in a village, Brother Xiao knows that many people don't have cash. The first thing farmers like to save is grain, the second is big animals, and the third is money.

Moreover, farmers like to save money with more silver, and the exchanged silver is almost always kept at the bottom of the box, so it is easy not to spend it.

Generally speaking, there is no expenditure in the village.

But autumn is different. The first is the autumn harvest, and every household is busy.

The second is to perform hard labor, and the family pays a man, which is very hard work.

If you have money, everyone will pay for the quota, and if you don't do hard labor, it's not a good job.

"Sanggong?" Brother Xiao looked at Tie Qing, he remembered that Xianggong was a person who could read and write.

It's a pity that he can't read, but it's good enough to be able to write and recognize his own name.

Brother Bin can't even write his own name, he just knows him.

It is said that my brother doesn't even know his own name, let alone write it.

This feudal society with little culture is very common.

Tie Qing thought for a while: "Auntie, you know my family. Many long-term workers need all kinds of eggs and meat. Brother Xiao will also buy some poultry and livestock to eat, but they are somewhat different. It’s convenient, why don’t you use eggs to exchange some products, and then buy some chickens, ducks and geese, how about it?”

"Tell me." Aunt Xiao listened seriously.

"You collect eggs, and our family buys them in bulk; you also collect chickens, ducks and geese, and our family buys them together." Tie Qing said: "For example, now a chicken costs 25 Wen, but they take Chickens are exchanged for [-] Wen. Our family buys your chickens for [-] Wen. Five Wen is the price difference. Compared with people in the village, they have to go to towns or even county towns to sell them. This is where It is much more convenient to sell them in the village, not to mention you can use these chickens, ducks and geese to exchange things directly with you."

"Let me think about it." Aunt Xiao was thoughtful.

After Tie Qing went back with Brother Xiao, Aunt Xiao figured it out the next day.

If someone came to pay on credit again, she said directly that she could "exchange" something.

Chicken, duck and geese are fine, as are eggs.

Every time she saves up to ten or eight, she tells Brother Xiao, and Brother Xiao comes to buy them.

If you save a hundred eggs, duck eggs, or goose eggs, send them to Tie's house, and brother Xiao will pay as usual.

This can be regarded as solving a big problem for the old iron family.

The Tie family has a large population, and the food must be very good, with a meal of meat dishes every day.

Stewed chicken today, duck stewed tomorrow, after the potatoes are ready, the big goose stewed potatoes, especially delicious.

In short, a meal can't be enough, there must be meat and vegetables, butcher Wang also comes every three or five days now, and every time he has to send half a fan of pigs to Lao Tie's family.

Gradually, this person became acquainted with Lao Tie's family.

And he didn't bring his husband, and only let Brother Ming take care of the child at home.

Brother Ming said it a few times, but he didn't agree. He said he was impatient and hit Brother Ming. After a few times, Brother Ming became honest.

Butcher Wang is not used to him.

It’s fine to go back to my mother’s house a few times, why go back so often?

When he didn't know, back then he fell in love with Tie Dong's family, but Tie Dong's family didn't fall in love with him, and they fell in love with Xiao Fulang.

Autumn is here, and so is August [-]th.

But the farmers are busy with the autumn harvest, and they have to work during the festival, but on the day of the festival, the family ate braised pork, big fish stewed in sauce, and mooncakes after the meal.

This is also a holiday.

I have to harvest autumn cabbage, and the family is even busier now. Fortunately, autumn vegetables are not worried about selling.

Except for what I ate at home, I sold the rest, and quickly replanted a crop of autumn spinach, which has a short growth time.

After the autumn harvest, we must pay taxes and grains as soon as possible.

Tie Qing's family and Lao Xiao's family paid together, but the combined taxes and rations of the two of them were too much, so all the cars that could be sold by the family were out, and a few people were invited to help, and they followed the team in the village together, Send tax and food to the county seat.

It's been a bountiful harvest this fall.

Everyone went to the county town to pay taxes and food, collectively paid for it, and rented the Datong shop of the entire inn, where people from their own village lived. Tie Qing and Lao Boss didn't do anything special, but because Tie Qing's family came to ten Tie Qing paid for the meals of the long-term workers and the hired eight handlebars.

In this small inn, the food is not outstanding, it is nothing more than stewed pork vermicelli, steamed buns with Lianghe noodles are delicious, and pickles are provided by the inn.

Some people even bring their own salted duck eggs.

After paying the taxes and rations, Tie Qing went to Xu Zhou again, and bought the labor labor of himself and Old Chief Xiao.

"You buy hard labor every year?" Xu Zhou really has served the iron green, he has never done hard labor.
