MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 146
The four of them walked into the door while talking and laughing with their bamboo baskets on their backs. As soon as they entered Lu Gu, they saw that the big bamboo basket that Shen Xuanqing often carried had been placed in the courtyard. In addition, there were two eggs on the stump beside the bamboo basket.
Shen Xuanqing put the bamboo basket full of hairy chestnuts on the ground and said with a smile, "Wild eggs, luckily I ran into them."
There are more wild eggs in summer, but less after the weather cools down. These two eggs were found in the grass by Da Hui. He remembered that Lu Gu said that he had dried some ground vegetables, but unfortunately, there were no eggs to fry, so he brought them back.
"I didn't see the pheasant. I beat a rabbit and came back to eat." He took out the fat hare from the bamboo basket, and took out four fox skins for Lu Gu and the others to see.
"White fox skin." Shen Yaoqing's eyes became surprised when he saw the two pure white skins.
Shen Xuanqing smiled even more, and handed the leather over to show them. After discovering the traces of the white fox, he stayed outside for three cold nights, but this time he was rewarded handsomely for suffering in the cold. Showing the white fox skin to Lu Gu, he never thought that Lu Gu didn't come out to greet him today, so he was so shocked that he lost all joy at that time.
Lu Gu and Shen Yan got close, and the three of them went to look at the two white fox skins together. There was not a single stray hair on them, and they were pure white and flawless.
After staying in the Shen family for a long time, I often see various prey and their fur. If it was in the past, Lu Gu would not dare to touch it, but now he touches the white fox fur, even if he does not understand From the market price, it can also be seen that these two leathers are of excellent quality and will definitely sell for a good price.
After Shen Yan took the fox skin, he raised his eyes to look at Shen Xuanqing, full of joy, their second Qing is really amazing!
"How much is this worth."
Shen Yaoqing touched the fox fur and sighed, but when he looked up, he saw that his second brother was covered in dust, even his hair was dirty, his clothes and neck had dark or light green grass juice, and the grass juice was also smeared on his face and hands. Son, looking dirty, there are even small wounds from the thorns of the branches.
So he knew that he had suffered a lot in the mountains, and he remembered what Lu Gu said, Shen Xuanqing went out for three nights, and the mountains were so cold at night, and I don't know which corner of the cave he had spent the night in.
People in the countryside are suffering, but they can live at home at night while growing crops, not to mention there are beasts in the mountains. The suffering of hunting is really not something that ordinary people can eat.
He sighed in his heart, just based on this, the second brother deserves all the money he earns.
Shen Xuanqing didn't notice other people's eyes, he saw Lu Gu's excited and joyful eyes, his heart was warm, and the smile on his face couldn't help but be a little proud, hardship is nothing, earning money to support a husband is what matters.
"Second brother, put it away quickly." Shen Yan took a closer look at the fox fur and handed it back to him. This is something that makes a lot of money, so naturally, it must be put away.
Shen Xuanqing took it and said with a smile: "Last year I went to Fucheng to sell two silver fox skins, and I got 60 taels. These two pure white hairs don't have a single stray hair, they are even rarer, and the price must be higher. Last year I didn't have any. How dare you ask for more price, this time other fox skins will not talk about it, Bai will definitely raise the price."
"Last year, although I sold it directly to a wealthy family in Fucheng, I could also hear from the words of the steward and Brother Zhou that those fox skins would have to go through a few steps before being transferred to the powerful, and they were delivered well. If you sell it, the price will definitely double several times."
That is to say, two white fox skins will sell for more than 60 taels. Even if Lu Gu has seen 200 taels of silver, he still thinks it is a lot. Shen Yan has never seen the world before, and his mouth is open.
Shen Yaoqing is not bad, he often walks outside and has seen some storms and waves. Like Shen Xuanqing, he knows the preciousness of fox fur.
The rich and powerful are the ones who can't climb up, and they can't even get close to the door if there is no way. Naturally, they don't need to think about making a lot of money.
"Those who have black hearts, we endure hardships and suffer, but let them make a lot of money." Shen Yaoqing scolded with a smile, but he didn't really take it to heart, and he didn't specifically target anyone. This is just the most common thing in the world.
Several of their villages are close to the mountains. In addition to farming, many people will go up the mountain to find mountain treasures, trying to try their luck, and maybe they will hit the big luck.
Not to mention bear's paws, bird's nests, bamboo fungus and Hericium erinaceus in the mountains are all valuable things. Sometimes traders come to the village to collect mountain goods. To others, it was just a little bit of loose money, and it would cost dozens of taels to sell to Fucheng. He was used to seeing it.
The most important thing for rural people is the food in the fields. Usually, it takes most of the day to cultivate and weed, and it takes less time to find mountain treasures. What’s more, the mountain treasures are rare in recent years. In the past few years, there have been very few people who have made a fortune by selling mountain treasures, and they have never heard of it.
Shen Xuanqing smiled when he heard the words, put away the fox skin, and took out all the things in the bamboo basket. The knife that should be sharpened must be sharpened, and the feather arrows must also be sharpened to make up for it, so as to save the loss of no weapons in the mountains. .
Lu Gu took Shen Yan into the kitchen to cook, and Shen Yaoqing scooped up the hot water from the clay pot to kill the rabbit, but he didn't sit still.
—
Picking up mountain goods is a busy job, but seeing the baskets full of chestnuts, hazelnuts and pecans, everyone is eager in their hearts.
Shen Yaoqing came up and pulled the scooter, just to bring the mountain goods home, but due to the hardship of a day's journey, he would have something to eat throughout the winter.
I took my dog to pick up chestnuts in the forest. On the way, Lu Gu also picked up a lot of mushrooms. The meat cooks more slowly. The mushrooms are fresh and tender. It tastes better than meat when fried in oil. , Every time I go back to cook in a hurry, the meat has not been cooked a few times, so he picks the smooth and tender mushrooms and stir-fries them, which is fragrant and satisfying.
After the sacks and bamboo baskets were full, the four of them woke up early in the morning and prepared to go down the mountain.
Shen Xuanqing has been working **** the mountain for more than a month, and hit 23 fox skins, but there are seven miscellaneous fox skins. Not too small.
The heavy trolley was pushed and pulled hard in the mountains. Shen Yan and Lu Gu drove one by one, and brought the female Merlu down the mountain. Even so, such hard work still could not stop the laughter and laughter of returning home full of rewards.
Lu Gu carried a burden and brought his two thick clothes home again. Shen Xuanqing had to go hunting in the mountains in a few days, but it was already the end of autumn.
The road was long and arduous, and he was still carrying a sewing basket in his hand. When he was resting on the way, Shen Xuanqing glanced at the good boy who had finished drinking water, and untied the burden on him, tied it to the good boy, and let it help him carry it back. .
There were only clothes in the bag, not too heavy. Lu Gu didn't stop him, he just smiled at the good boy.
Perhaps there is a familiar human taste on the baggage, and the strapping on his body made the good boy a little uncomfortable at first, but he didn't throw it around. After walking for a while, he got used to it. Facing the female deer, she barked twice.
It has eaten well since childhood, and although its physique can be a little smaller, it is stronger than Da Hui. Among the several dogs in the family, it is a "young dog", and it should be more effort.
Stop and go all the way, and finally arrived home before evening.
Wei Lanxiang was holding Zhao'er in the room, Ji Qiuyue was cooking, and when she heard the barking of the dog, she hurriedly came out to look, and saw the four of them came back with a scooter.
Shen Yaoqing didn't even bother to wash his hands, so he went into the room to tease his son.
But Zhao'er didn't have much expression when she saw him, and only hummed anxiously after seeing Ji Qiuyue. The mother is the mother who has milk. This is true, the baby is naturally closer to the mother who is breastfeeding.
This is what Shen Yaoqing couldn't help but poked his son's arm. After five days on the mountain, he really missed his son, but he never thought that this little thing didn't miss his father at all.
Outside, Wei Lanxiang looked at Shen Xuanqing and Lu Gu who had not seen each other for more than a month, and had a long questioning, long-winded but kind.
Seeing the boy who was carrying a burden, she had a strange look in her eyes, and then she couldn't help laughing.
After a lively session, the courtyard gradually calmed down. Because Ji Qiuyue didn't have enough food to eat because they didn't know when they would come back, Wei Lanxiang cooked two more dishes to warm up some steamed buns.
The family is complete, and the food tastes more delicious.
After eating, it was just getting dark, because Shen Yaoqing didn't see his son and daughter-in-law for several days, so he didn't come over at night. Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing slept in the new house. Makes people feel at ease.
After the courtyard door was closed, the four dogs lay on their sacks and slept separately, and occasionally they could hear the movements of the livestock in the backyard.
After soaking their feet, their legs and feet were warm, and Wei Lanxiang also poured the two of them soup and asked them to bring them over. Now it's cold at night.
The doe can sell for a lot of money, and the price of the fox fur is not low, which makes Shen Xuanqing in a good mood. At this moment, she is comfortably lying in the bed with her husband, and her whole body is relaxed.
Using hand ointment and facial cream, Lu Gu's hands and face are smoother than before, but he doesn't feel much himself. Who would touch his face when he is idle, and he lives so much every day.
The hands that are always working are certainly not as good as those of the pampered, and to say that his hands are smooth, it is only compared with the husband of the village.
Shen Xuanqing had never touched other people's hands, but he could see rough and dry skin at a glance. Lu Gu's hands were relatively dry before.
Xu is Mrs. Tang's heat, and he feels softer and softer when he touches Lu Gu, and the white cheeks under his lips are also fragrant, the fragrance of plum blossoms, light and delicate.
Lu Gu's cheek was slightly warmed by his kiss, and he couldn't help turning his head, trying to avoid it.
After Shen Xuanqing found out, he stubbornly pulled the husband's cheeks back again. It was only the two of them who lived here at night. They kissed for a while without fear of being heard.
Besides, when he was on the mountain, he was busy hunting and didn't get distracted by other things. It's been more than a month, and the two of them haven't been in the room. Now he's relaxed and the night is just right, so he gradually became interested in kissing and kissing. .
Today, on the way down the mountain, Lu Gu is inevitably a little tired, but they are both young enough to have **** once. He has never resisted Shen Xuanqing. Fumble around.
The ointment was not brought at home, but Shen Xuanqing was no longer the reckless man who was stunned and rambunctious at the beginning, and when he slept with Lu Gu in the middle of the night, he did not hurt the person in his arms at all.
