survival in the wilderness

Chapter 161
Those who got the loot all smiled happily.This is a reward for them, and it is an affirmation for them.

Lin Yan also got a dead sheep, because she was also on the scene at the time, and although she didn't do anything, she did participate.

She quickly waved her hand and said, "Give it to someone else, I can't take it."

Ming Lan was in charge of dividing the sheep, "Everyone who participated has a share, almost every household has people going, and the people in the military department have contributed a lot, and they will share a whole sheep. The rest will share one head between two people. "

Seeing Lin Yan's hesitation, Minglan went on to say, "Your mother and father have also gone, and it's right to share a sheep with your family. Everyone has it, and you can't justify it if you refuse."

"Okay, then give it to our family." Lin Yan agreed.

Ming Lan made a record and asked Jin Zai and Hua Hong to take Lin Yan to pick up the sheep.

Huahong still can’t believe that they killed such a large group of sheep, and they can still share the mutton for eating. I feel ashamed."

"Aniang, I think so too. However, everyone has them, and the leader of our family is not out of line."

Jin Zai said with a smile: "The people in the military department are still very powerful, and their arrows are precise. I saw those dead sheep, and most of them died from their deadly shots."

"The military department is really powerful. If it weren't for them, our wheat fields would not be able to keep." Hua Hong echoed, "Before, there were people who were jealous of the high wages of the people in the military department, and secretly gossiped. After today is over, who dares to say that, it is to find Scolding. Without the military department, how can we live in peace.”

"Aniang is right. The military department is everyone's confidence. If there is danger, they will rush to the front and stand in front of everyone. Their efforts should be treated favorably."

After this incident, no one dares to comment on the capabilities of the military department.

Heitu led the military department to fight a beautiful victory. Since then, no one can shake the military department's status.

After returning home, Lin Yan felt his stomach growling. Today is really a thrilling day.

From knowing that the flock is coming, until the end is safe and sound, I have been tense, and it is still a little unreal.

"Aniang, what do I have to eat? I'm hungry."

"There are steamed buns, wait a moment, you can eat them as soon as they are warmed up. Jinzai, go and clean up the sheep, we will stew sheep soup tomorrow."

Jin Zai carried the sheep to the river to deal with them.

The sheep in their family was not very big, about [-] catties, and it was because of Hua Hong's repeated refusal that he picked up a small one.

The family of three felt that they deserved it, and they really didn't do much.It is not as brave as everyone in the military department, and it is the main force for killing sheep.

While cooking, Huahong said: "The wheat will be ripe in a few days. Today I am really afraid that the sheep will spoil the wheat field. After several months of hard work, I will wait for the harvest in the next few days. If it is ruined, I will lose money." huge."

"That's right. Many people are counting on this season's wheat to collect and pay taxes, and store food for the cold season. If it is destroyed, this winter season will be sad."

When many people heard that the flocks were coming, their first reaction was the wheat in the field, and they took up weapons and rushed towards that side, also wanting to keep the wheat field.

The destructive power of the herd is too great, and the cornfield is so fragile, every family waits for the harvest carefully.

Huahong agrees: "That's right, our family's agricultural tax also depends on the wheat in the field. There is also a lot of commercial tax every month. I figured out that the average monthly turnover of our restaurant is three yuan. A lot, the threshold is 2 yuan, and the tax is about 1 cents. After a year, it’s more than 1 yuan, which is really a lot.”

"Aniang earns a lot, and can save a lot after paying taxes. It is our obligation to pay taxes, no matter how much we have to pay."

"I know, it's just that after careful calculation, I think the tax is too much."

"Aniang thinks about the garment spinning and wood factories, etc., which have a monthly turnover of no more than 10 yuan, and a monthly tax of 1 yuan. If you think about it, our family doesn't pay much. It's not too small. The big taxpayer is the smelter, we can't compare with others."

"It's true, our small business is really incomparable. More and more people will open shops in the future, and that commercial street is all there. I heard that there are more than 20, and the business tax must be quite a lot."

Lin Yan smiled while lighting the fire: "Sure. The planning of the commercial street is for this purpose. When it is convenient for people's lives, they can pay more taxes. This is all the financial money. Otherwise, how can so many people get their salaries? .”

Speaking of the commercial street, Lin Yan hadn't visited it yet, so he asked curiously, "Aniang, have the shops in the commercial street been built yet?"

"Yes, most of the houses facing the street have been built. The garment spinning has already moved in, and the tung oil workshop has also opened. Our land has not yet started construction."

"So fast?"

"Isn't that right? They are very fast. Hurry up and build a house, move in early and earn money. Our family has no time. When we plant wheat in January next year, we will find someone to build a house."

When mentioning the shops in the commercial street, Hua Hong enviously said: "I went to see the new shops in the commercial street. They are spacious, bright and facing the street. It is convenient for people to come and go. It is indeed better than at home."

"Hey, aunt now knows why I had to buy the foundation of the commercial street."

"Yeah, you're right."

After Jinzai took care of the sheep, the family of three sat down to eat together. Huahong and Jinzai were busy preparing the ingredients for tomorrow, and Lin Yan went back to his room.

Today, except for the people in the military department who were rewarded, Heitu specifically praised Mao Mu because of his improvement of the military department's weapons in the past two years, which has achieved today's remarkable results.

Thinking of this, combined with the bow and arrow shooting scene I saw today.In the Science and Technology Museum, the room numbered 0110 is full of cold weapon forging.Lin Yan found the introduction and production of crossbow arrows.Compared with bows and arrows, crossbow arrows are more lethal.I was busy doing other things before and ignored this.

Picking up a pen and paper, he made a copy of the blueprint of the crossbow bolt. Lin Yan didn't fall asleep until late at night.

After breakfast the next day, Lin Yan went to find Mao Mu.

"You came to see me specifically?" Mao Mu was washing dishes at home, and he had just eaten, "I shared a sheep yesterday, it was quite big, and my family couldn't eat it, so I'll share some with your family."

"I have it at home, enough to eat. Keep yours for yourself."

Mao Mu grinned, "Such a big sheep, with [-] catties of breed, there are only two people in my family, how can I finish it. Your family runs a restaurant, so I can finish it. I will send it over later."

"You can't collect your sheep for nothing. The restaurant at home is very busy. Why don't you ask your mother to help out, and you will be paid every month. You and your mother will also go to the restaurant to eat."

Mao Mu's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea. I'm worrying about it. It takes too much time to cook every day. My mother is old. If I don't come back to eat, she will make do with it. There is no need to pay the wages. Let me Mommy, just think of it as finding someone to talk to Mommy."

When Mrs. Mao heard this, she also smiled and said, "I can't do much work either, just take care of a meal."

The three of them came to Lin Yan's house, discussed with Huahong, and asked Mrs. Mao to come and help out at the house. They would pay 1 cents a month, plus daily meals for her and Mao Mu.

After discussing the matter, Lin Yan dragged Mao Mu to the main room and talked about the crossbow alone.
