Defeat natural disasters with farming

The autumn is sunny and the temperature is high this year, so although it has entered October, the temperature outside is still around [-] degrees, but it is slightly lower in the morning and evening.

It is said that sticking autumn fat, these simple three words prove that the prey has enough meat during this period, which is the right time for hunting.

Therefore, before dawn, people in the city who are willing to go hunting are already up, and some young and middle-aged people who live alone or want to change their taste choose to have an early meal in the market before going up the mountain.

As soon as they arrived at the market, there was white smoke blowing in their faces, and there was always an aroma of food lingering at the tip of their noses when they were eating.

Speaking of which, Ye Hai also formed a hunting team, including him and only eight people, including Ye He and Ye Jing. They would go hunting every half a month, stay outside for two or three days, The benefits of this time were good, so this itinerary was gradually reserved and became their fixed choice after several rounds of rest.

Today is the time when they went out hunting. Two of the eight people did not participate because of family affairs, and the remaining six were neat and tidy. They did not eat breakfast at home, and chose to go to the blacksmith shop to put them there for repair. Bring back the machete.

Then I went to Uncle Chen’s restaurant and ordered six bowls of wontons. They were big bowls, and each bowl contained twenty big meat wontons. In fact, they were more like big dumplings than wontons. People really don’t want the quantity but the taste, so they can order the small bowl, which is the real wonton, but the price is only a little lower than the big bowl, which is really not affordable enough, and it can still fill up for most people A large bowl for the stomach is more suitable.

However, even so, six bowls of wontons were not enough for them to eat, and they had to order some extra meat pie buns or fried dough sticks.

Uncle Chen came up with a tray, wiped his sweat with a sweat towel, and asked them, "Where are you going to hunt this time?"

Ye He ate the fried dough sticks with eggs in two or three mouthfuls, and replied vaguely: "Someone saw a herd of deer in the forest before, and we wanted to go there to have a look. It just so happened that the traps laid over there were also inspected."

Uncle Chen nodded, "Then you have to be careful. I heard that all kinds of animals are very violent recently, and many people have been injured."

"Don't worry, we won't go deep." Ye He thanked.

Then, after all the people who went out to hunt left, the market finally became deserted, but it didn't last long. After the other people in the city woke up one after another, after more than half a month of autumn harvest, they got up late recently. Sometimes I don’t like to make breakfast, so I come out to eat.

Therefore, some industrious people did not rent a shop, but set up a stall in the market, selling some steamed stuffed buns, soy milk, and the like, and earned a lot of money every day. Ye Yu and the others basically turned a blind eye to this, as long as it was not too much, If you want to set up a stall, you can set it up, but they also have to pay taxes, and compared with those who rent shops, the benefits and benefits are much worse, and they pay more taxes.

Ye Yu's family is no exception. They also asked someone to help them harvest this year's autumn harvest, but even so, they had to be watched every day. After half a month, they were very tired, and they almost couldn't get out of bed after it was over. , Fortunately, after a period of cultivation, it is almost better now.

So Father Ye and Chu Xufeng, the earliest ones, took on the heavy responsibility of going out to buy food. In addition to the wontons from Uncle Chen's house, there were tofu nao from Aunt Tang's house and shredded pork noodles from Uncle Li's house, which they often bought for food.

Chu Xufeng bought tofu nao today, all of which are salty, and the whole pot only costs eight copper coins, which is a cheap and affordable one. With the white steamed buns and flower rolls sent by Mrs. Ye, it is a delicious breakfast .

When Ye Yu eats tofu nao, he likes to add some homemade meat sauce to it, so that it tastes more delicious.

Mother Ye suddenly mentioned something in the middle of the meal, "Pandi's mother told her about a marriage. The other party is a widower, and the conditions are not good, but I didn't expect her to agree."

Ye Yu was drinking tofu nao at this time, he was stunned for a moment when he heard his mother's words, and hesitantly said after a while: "I remember that Sister Zhaodi once introduced her to one with better conditions."

Mother Ye nodded, "You're right, there are a few families who are poor but still married for the first time, and she doesn't like that. If you have to say that the one Pandi agrees with is different from them, then Just one thing, he has two sons by his side."

"That's true." Ye Yu frowned slightly: "What is she thinking? Is it so important to have a son?"

To put it bluntly, the man's ex-wife said that he died of illness, but no one knew the truth. What if he was violent at home?Besides, it's not that Pandi can't have children, so why bother to raise children for other people.

Mother Ye said: "Who knows, anyway, she hasn't come to see Sister Ru recently, and when I look at Sister Ru, I don't even know that Pandi is her real mother."

"Sister Ru is such a good child, and she is also well-behaved and sensible. I really don't know why she would rather get close to other people's children than come and see her more."

After talking about Pandi, Mother Ye talked about Ye Hai by the way, "Your eldest aunt is worrying about your elder brother's marriage now, and many people have asked the matchmaker to come to marry him, but your elder brother has always refused to agree. Now even Your third brother is going to get married in a month, and now your aunt is even more anxious, nagging about this in his ear all day long, and I have the intention of hiding from his mother when I watch Geer Hai go hunting."

Ye Yu sighed, "Since the eldest brother doesn't want to get married, let's do it first. Anyway, he is not very old, so even if he regrets it later, there is still room for regret."

"Your eldest aunt is also in a hurry." Mother Ye said, "I'll go and persuade her later."

Speaking of which, after the autumn harvest is the best time to hold wine, Ye Yu has attended several wedding banquets during this period, and they are all familiar people. The woman is basically brought by Lu Wenwen and Uncle Chu, which is equivalent to a kind of marriage. The man The purpose is to marry a wife and have children, and the woman wants to take root in the city through marriage.

In addition, many girls surnamed Ye married into other families for the same reason as above.

And the next banquet belonged to Ye Jing, who told him to kiss the daughter of the Tang family, Aunt Tang's family whose grandson was kidnapped before, and Ye Jing married Aunt Tang's little granddaughter named Tang Jia , is a very gentle woman, looks very beautiful.

Ye Jing's hunting this time also meant to prepare for the banquet. If he could catch a few large prey, the dishes on the banquet would be more abundant.

I don’t know if it’s because they can’t say what they say, but their hunting team actually encountered a small herd of elk. There were a dozen of them in total, too many for them to eat by themselves, so someone came back to ask for help. With the cooperation, this herd of elk was successfully acquired, and Ye Jing and the others got four of them, just enough for the wedding banquet.

Therefore, Ye Jing's wedding banquet was very lively. Ye Yu counted, probably more than 100 people came. The four elk were eaten up, and even the bones were cleaned up by the hounds at home. up.

At the family banquet, Old Man Ye rarely drank two glasses of rice wine, and said happily: "Brother Jing is married now, and Xinghua is next, and when the children have their homes, I can finally close my eyes in peace for the rest of my life. "

Uncle Ye at the side said disapprovingly, "Don't say such unlucky words, you will surely live a long life."

Old man Ye laughed from ear to ear, "If I can really live to be a hundred years old, then it will be God's blessing."

When Ye Yu heard this conversation, he felt a little melancholy in his heart. As the two old people got older and their illnesses gradually increased, he would have to face parting one day.

Now he only hopes that he can be filial to the two old people in the limited time, and not regret it at the end. It is one of the most painful things in the world that the child wants to support but does not wait for the relative.

So Ye Yu pressed Old Man Ye's hand that wanted to continue pouring wine, and poured him a bowl of hot soup instead, persuading him: "If you want to live a long life, stop drinking and drink more soup."

After listening to his words, old man Ye put down his wine glass, and immediately said with emotion: "You are really old, and you feel uncomfortable when you drink."

Ye Erbo said: "Just watch me drink with Brother Jing."

The men are urging each other to drink here.

On the other side, the second aunt was talking to her sister-in-law in a low voice, "I've been looking for Xinghua's marriage recently, but I'm not satisfied with the sons who asked the matchmaker to come to the door. The situation at home is complicated, and you know a lot of people, so if you have a suitable one, you can consider it."

The aunt pondered for a while, then asked her, "What are your specific requirements?"

The second aunt replied flatly: "There is nothing special, but the man must be motivated and have a craft that can support the family, whether it is farming or hunting. Parents, other than that, the family background must be clean, and at least the family situation should not be complicated, after all, Xinghua has a gentle temperament, and I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it if it's too complicated."

These are very basic requirements, not difficult to meet, so the aunt patted her chest and said, "Leave it all to me."

Mother Ye also nodded, "I'll check back later. General Chu has many unmarried soldiers. Among other things, his character is absolutely guaranteed, but the family conditions may be a bit poor."

"Regardless of family background, anyway, our family's conditions are good. As long as that person is of good character, we can help him live a good life." The second aunt can still guarantee this.

"In this way, the choice will be very wide." Ye Mu said: "Some parents who have both died are also very suitable."

The second aunt nodded and said, "Yes."

The elders were talking about her marriage, but Xinghua herself was quite calm about it. Now she is immersed in medical skills and has graduated from a teacher. She can treat women alone. Some families who have children will pay for it. She went to the house to sit in town, only hoping that if something happened, she could save the adults and the children together.

She is one of the most respected people in the city, perhaps because of this reason, many people dare not propose marriage to her.
