Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 84

The Lin family is also very fast. They are at the foot of the mountain, near the water pool and waterfall. There are many gentle places. They have dug up a piece of land as a vegetable garden before. Although there is no title deed, it can only be said that they planted it privately. Yes, it's a bit illegal, but after all, it belongs to the familiar land, and now it can be allocated to land reclamation and the land deed can be obtained, how could they not do it!People are still very appreciative of which piece of paper is recognized by the imperial court, and they are looking forward to it. The whole family participated in the battle, and after a lot of effort, they finally opened up four acres, plus the original one-acre vegetable field. Now there are nearly six acres of land, which makes Uncle Lin feel very good.At last, I have let go of my status as a landless mountain dweller, and I can also be regarded as a farmer with property.With a house and land, it will be much easier for my son to marry a wife in the future!

Poor parents all over the world, these people are so stupid that they need to pay taxes on their original well-used hilltops and their own land. The site, if someone really came to buy it, they would have no room to resist at all!Not to mention how disadvantaged people without land are when it comes to marriage. Just look at how old An Dalang was when he married a wife, and you will know the difficulty here. Don't straighten your back!

All the villages and villages in the mountains were so busy with the order to reclaim wasteland. Dahu's family gained two acres of land, Seventh Uncle's family gained three acres, and Liang Uncle's family gained five acres. Anyway, at this time, the villages The scope of the land has expanded several times at once, and the surrounding trees have also decreased a lot.

Looking at the felled trees at this time, Zhao Yiyi couldn't think of protecting the environment at all. Why?Because most of the mountains are like virgin forests. If you really want to say it, the forest coverage rate has almost reached 90.00%. Tell me, in such an environment, what do you say about environmental protection? It's not bullshit.Just like this place, even if it is cut three or four times, it can still be selected as one of the top ten in the world.

There are tree fellers and land reclamation everywhere, which is actually convenient for Zhao Yiyi, because of this, their axes sell quickly, and those vegetable seeds, especially potatoes, are also sold under Zhao Qian's emphasis on promotion It's very hot, who makes this thing not so picky!Not to mention its output and its storage problems, isn't it the same as growing food in this newly opened land?

The more people who have suffered and suffered, the more attached they are to food. No one will let go of such a good thing, but in a short period of time, Zhao Yiyi will sell the potato seeds alone. More than 3000 people went out.

Of course, there are not only a lot of things sold, but also a lot of things that have been taken back. Who makes every family want to collect money to get the land lease!All the leather and jewelry collected by the family was taken out, not to mention the leather, these are all valuable things in the shop, those jewelry, because of the price, the shop is not economical, but it is not There is also a jewelry store in the county town, right? It's a help, and they can also collect more other things from the county town, right?
At the time of the autumn harvest, Zhao Yiyi's peppers were finally ready to be harvested. Looking at the bright red Chaotian peppers, Zhao Yiyi's mouth was filled with fluid, such as spicy chicken, hot and sour cabbage, spicy tofu, and other delicious dishes. Zhao Yiyi's mind was spinning, dried it, put it away, took one or two and made spicy chicken, which directly inspired An Dalang to join the spicy food army.Even the two children were sweating profusely after eating. According to An Dalang, with a few sticks of this thing, it can last for a long time even in the event of an avalanche in the deep mountains. It is absolutely necessary in winter.

Zhao Yiyi also knew that this stuff was good, so she naturally sent some to her natal family, after all, her younger brother still had to hunt this winter, so bringing some would keep out the cold in the mountains, right?Of course, it is certain that Zhao Qian, who has tasted the benefits, will come to ask for seeds, and she is ready.She never thought of hiding anything like this.At the same time, the copper hot pot that can be bought a long time ago is naturally of great use. The spicy hot pot is absolutely authentic. What did you say?Sichuan peppercorn?You don’t have to have this, but there are definitely Sanjiao in the mountains, as long as you pick them, so this is definitely not a problem!

In such a busy schedule, one winter came, and the land reclamation of each household finally came to an end. This time, there was no need for An Dalang to go around to make kangs, and he did not need to sell any quilts. A more comfortable nest.

"In the past two months, when I didn't stop for a day, I was either running around, busy in the fields, or even messing around for a few houses. Now it's finally all right, and I can sleep comfortably. I fell asleep last night. Come on, I don’t even want to think about it, Dong Mao Dong really makes sense, it’s good.”

An Dalang and Zhao Yiyi lived in the west room of the three main rooms below, the warm heated kang is very comfortable!Let people sit on the top and don't want to come down.An Dalang prefers to live here compared to the overly beautiful upstairs environment, which is obviously not as warm.

Covered with a quilt on my knees, leaning against the wall, holding hot soup in my hand, how comfortable it is!Looking at the sky outside, it is already almost noon, and An Dalang, who rarely sleeps late, really doesn't want to wake up, and seeing his daughter-in-law doing embroidery work at the kang table, with quick hands and feet, he is full of satisfaction , What does it mean for a wife and children to be hot on the kang?

"Daughter-in-law, it's convenient to make wine this winter, and the workshop won't feel too hot. Let's make some more. Seeing that there are so many happy events in every family this year, it's hard to say that wine can be sold for a lot of money! When will rice wine be sold?" It can be brewed, and it is most suitable for the Chinese New Year. If you buy a hundred or ten catties, and sell it before the end of the year, you can get back two taels of silver, right?"

After paying no less than 20 taels of silver, the homestead and the land deeds were finally settled, but the money in the family has also decreased a lot. After all, the courtyard walls of the homestead, the ditches in the field, and the houses at the entrance of several caves are all flowers. It was bought with money, otherwise they can't do it for you without anything!In order to designate this place as Anjiazhai in the county government, An Dalang really spent a lot of hard work on the remarks of such a small natural village that is not small or small!I also lent it to Uncle Lin Wuliang to build a large courtyard wall made of bamboo so that he could name it Linjiabao, and Zhao Dahu's money for land reclamation and land deed, and An Dalang also came out to the Wu family brothers. After working hard, the Wujia slope became Wujiapo, and after a few drops, the savings were reduced by half. This made An Dalang very anxious, and he wanted to earn back sooner.

Zhao Yiyi listened to his words, without even raising her head, she just said lightly:
"If you have the skills, it's better to go to the trap first. You have been wasted a lot these days. Even the simplest check of the trap is now done by two children. Dalang, you are a hunter. For those who survive, we must always do our duty well."

When Zhao Yiyi said this, An Dalang's face straightened, and he immediately lowered his head and frowned. It took a long time for him to return to normal, and a smile appeared on his mouth.

"Don't tell me I was really negligent, isn't it just like this? I haven't hunted recently. If things go on like this, I'm afraid I'm going to die with my hands. People in the mountains still have to rely on their own real skills to make a living. This is really a shame. No, okay, I’ll go tomorrow when I get up, and I’m walking around in the mountains. Speaking of which, it’s the fattest time for animals. The meat is delicious and the skin is thick. Our family hasn’t had a fresh chicken soup for a long time Alright, I'll find a way to get a pheasant tomorrow, so I can make up for it."

After saying this, An Dalang got up directly from the bed, put on his boots, put on a sheepskin jacket, and started to walk outside.

"We can't be idle! We are meant to be workers. We are going to chop firewood. There is not much firewood at home! Dabao, Dabao, take your younger brother and go for a walk with your uncle to get some firewood."

Looking at An Dalang walking out, Zhao Yiyi smiled, that's why this man is so good!Listen to me, I've been very busy recently, but no one is idle. Zhao Yiyi is almost responsible for growing vegetables at home. Of the five acres of land, four acres are planted with potatoes, and other radishes. Cabbage, everything does not let the land idle. At this time, harvesting vegetables, storing them in cellars, making spicy cabbage and pickles, Zhao Yiyi felt that he was going to faint, but unfortunately, An Dalang was busy these days. They don't even have time for hunting. The family eats mostly pickled meat, and the occasional fresh meat is also obtained from traps. What's more, if the trap is not rested for a long time, the hunting efficiency will drop. It made her a little dissatisfied, and she just waited for An Dalang to clean up when she was free.At this time, seeing An Dalang's expression of wanting to be free and unwilling to do anything, how could she agree!This is the source of their family's meat, so it can't be left unused. Could it be possible to let their family and other hunters buy prey from other families?This is too embarrassing.

A good woman always urges a man to make progress. Zhao Yiyi feels that she is definitely this kind of good woman. She will never admit that she is greedy for it. Anyway, from the next day, An Dalang started going out early in the morning again. I went to the mountains.Repairing traps, setting up bows and archery to hunt prey, after all, they are well-known experts in the mountains, but after a few days of hard work, the family finally gained a lot.

Bacon, wind chicken, goat meat, the original inhabited cave was full of supplies again, and at this time the cave used as an inn also welcomed serious guests for the first time.
