The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Yan Yu learned a lesson this time.

She and Fourth Uncle Qi were not willing to eat the sheep all the way, so they wiped the snow over and over again to keep it frozen, fearing it would break, but they still did something wrong in the end.

The sheep are not bled, and the flesh is red.

Nanny Rong soaked it in cold water to remove the fishy smell.

It’s ginger and hawthorn, watered over and over again, and finally fried with green onions to barely remove the fishy smell of mutton.

People from the village came to buy meat, and Da Ya also explained to them that the two sheep had not been bled when they died, and the smell was fishy, ​​and there were more bubbles.

Even so, the big guy still wants to buy some, the mutton snatched from the other side of the mountain has an unusual name, and the taste is second to none.

Yan Yu didn't dare to sell these two sheep for expensive, five cents a catty.

Sheep look big, and the layer of sheep skin is about the same as that of goats. There is not much meat. Your family has two catties, and mine has one catty. Each family in the village will share a share, so there is not much left.

The rest was paid for by the butcher Guan. The families they settled down in Xiao'an Village were poor. Although the taste was bad, it was cheap.

As soon as Qi Si left the door of Yan's house, he was blocked by Village Chief Luo, who followed him all the way home, watched him eat, and took him back to his home directly after eating.

Qi Si was in a hurry and didn't dare to eat more. Mrs. Qi felt sorry for him, so she picked out all the steamed buns left in the pot, wrapped them up and sent them to Qi Si.

Seeing is believing.

Village head Luo has always known that the three brothers of the Qi family can eat, but isn't this appetite a little too much?

The Qi family's meal is really heroic, and they serve it directly.

There are two pots of steamed buns, stacked high, and two pots of vegetables, one pot is the same as the Yan family, fried lamb with green onions, and a pot of stewed Chinese cabbage, the three brothers of the Qi family cooked rice.

Village Chief Luo felt in a daze that no one except the three of them had moved their chopsticks.

As soon as the front foot entered his house, Qi Da sent steamed buns to the back foot.

Seeing that Qi Si just took out the steamed buns and gnawed them, is this not full?

At this moment, Village Chief Luo felt that it was not easy for the old girl of the Qi family!

Looking at my son and grandson again, it's pleasing to the eye...

When he brought people home, it was hard for them to choke on the steamed buns, so Village Chief Luo asked the eldest daughter-in-law to weigh two dishes.

If the former Qi Si had resolutely listened to his mother, he would not have moved his chopsticks.

But after staying with Xiaoer for a long time, Qi Si also learned something.

He thanked Village Chief Luo and planned to buy more meat from Luo San in the future.

In the final analysis, the three brothers of the Qi family are just sincere and slow to react, not stupid, and they can figure out some things when they think about it slowly.

Qi Si didn't know where to come to an agreement, so Village Chief Luo asked a question, and he answered a question.

On Yan Yu's side, it was a different situation.

She can stand up to several people, which is called a lifelike, full of voice and emotion.

After a while on the kang, I will perform a lying motionless in the snow, and then I will attack with thunder, and run away with the calf in my arms...

After a while, use the hair-tied square scarf to cover the heads of Gouzhu and Maomao...

Maomao avoided it in disgust, and cooperated closely with each other, imitating the cow's appearance and sticking its ears back as far as possible, so that the square scarf can be put on more conveniently...

Now Yan Yu started to talk about the scene in the mountains.

"...there is snow on the ground, and there are wild animals in the mountains. I can see them clearly. I saw that there are a lot of big guys. Uncle Qi and I dare not sleep. There are still wolves howling at night, but it's okay, it sounds pretty good. Far, never really encountered.

Mom, guess what, there are still mushrooms in the mountains at this time, the big one, but the color is a little yellowish, unlike the ones we picked before, I look like they can be eaten, but I’m not sure, so I use straw mats I picked one at a time and put it in my basket, Aunt Rong, please turn around and help me see if it is edible. " she said to Nanny Rong.

Nanny Rong smiled and nodded.

She turned around and left the house, and returned shortly after, bringing the yellow mushroom she had mentioned with her.

Nanny Rong handed it to Li Xuemei, and nodded to indicate that it was edible and non-toxic.

Yan Yu became happy.

"Haha! Can it really be eaten? There are quite a few of them in the mountains, a large area, but the location is a little bit deep, so it's not easy to find, but it's okay, I remember that place, oops, I can't leave it for nothing, tomorrow, Tomorrow I will take people into the mountains to pick them back."

Da Ya reached out and touched the big fat mushroom, eager to try it.

"Xiao Er, sister will go with you too."

"I want to go too." Qing'er said in a low voice.

Li Xuemei really convinced her daughter, she gained strength and energy.

As soon as I got home, I was still thinking about running up the mountain.

Nanny Rong said that she would go too.

Yan Yu nodded again and again: "Aunt Rong just went to help take a look, so as not to pick poisonous mushrooms and come back."

Seeing Qing'er's longing face, she looked at her pitifully.

She thought for a while, and said: "You can go, but you can't go to the ground, you can only stay in the basket."

Qing'er's eyes brightened up: "Qing'er is obedient and won't go down to the ground."

It was getting late, and Da Ya took Qing'er back to the house to sleep.

Nanny Rong also packed up and went home.

Only Li Xuemei and Yan Yuniang were left in the room.

"Are you still thinking about going again?" Li Xuemei flicked the wick of the oil lamp.

"Hey!" Yan Yu just smiled and didn't speak.

She turned over, and her thick long hair hung down naturally, making her small face not as big as a palm.

"The wheel of history tells us that only by defeating the enemy can we get real peace."

Li Xuemei glanced at her, fooling your mother?

Yan Yu laughed awkwardly: "Mother, I really thought about it seriously. On the surface, I just went to get some cattle and sheep back, but in fact, this will cause a result of trade-offs.

We live in Huju, next to Beirong, so we have to think a little bit more.

Those Beirongs would gather together only when they plundered the customs, and they usually live scattered. Breaking them one by one is also a disguised way to reduce the pressure on our border towns.

We can destroy the enemy ahead of time, we can harvest cattle, sheep, and horses, and maybe we can get some food back..."

That's right, Yan Yu's eyes not only saw cattle and sheep, but also horses.

There is a shortage of horses in the pass.

The Beirong came and went like the wind, and they repeatedly attacked, not because they had good horses.

In the battle of Huju, the reinforcements and Beirong were close at hand, and they chased away, almost returning without success.

Rather than grabbing some food back, it is better to say picking up some food.

Li Xuemei still didn't speak.

Yan Yu coquettishly said: "Mother, look at Fourth Uncle Qi and I, we are not well-prepared for everything, we brought the cattle and sheep back safely, we really prepared well, I have the confidence to eat that Bei Rong. "

Bring back more cattle, sheep and horses, suck!

"You said that there are about a hundred people, and you don't have the power of the arrow tower. How can you eat them, relying on your mouth?" Li Xuemei didn't have a smile on her face.

Yan Yu's voice immediately dropped: "How can you rely on your mouth, isn't there still a frontier army?"

Li Xuemei stared: "Front Army?"

"I'm not stupid. Of course I wouldn't use people from our village to fight Bei Rong, but I found out about the movements of a small group of Bei Rong. Is it credit? When I tell General Xue, I don't believe he won't be tempted. Giving money from the head is still military merit, and cattle, sheep, horses and food... how can people not be rare!

Well, the frontier army takes the big head, so let's drink some soup and help put a cold arrow next to it...

There are those lost cattle and sheep, let's help find them... What a wonderful thing you say, everyone is happy! "

Yan Yu imagined beautifully, and also felt that there was a lot of room for maneuvering in this matter.

"Why does the frontier army have to take you? They can't do it alone?" Li Xuemei poured cold water on her.

"That can't be done, President Xue is short of manpower, and our frontier army is short of men." Of course, Yan Yu will not aim at the target indiscriminately, thinking about it thoroughly. "He has to keep people guarding the guardhouse. There are not many people who can be transferred. The guards next to him borrow people. How can the people in our village be better? We will not compete with him for military merits. All the heads of Beirong belong to him. We only need cattle and sheep. , give him all the horses."

The horses that were seized in Xiao'an Village were too strenuous to raise, especially in this winter, forage was a big problem.

If there are more horses, give them all to Xue Zongqi, and Xiao'an Village needs cattle and sheep.

"Besides, there is also the future of Uncle Hu and the others. The elder brother of the eldest son promised us a general banner, but Uncle Hu and the others have low qualifications and cannot be given immediately. It depends on their performance. The position of the general flag may be able to come down earlier, on the contrary, if the performance is mediocre, the general flag may be yellow.

No one can say what will happen in the future, if you can get promoted as soon as possible, let's go as soon as possible. "

Yan Yuke always remembered what the uncle said about the possible conscription in Guanzhou.

Li Xuemei had to admit that her daughter had thought enough and everything she said was reasonable.

His expression slowly calmed down, he thought for a moment and said: "Your uncle is not here, you can go to your father and ask your teacher about this matter."

Yan Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I think so too. If General Xue refuses to admit it, I have to talk to Shigong about it. If the government can spare manpower, let Shigong do the same."

Li Xuemei looked at her daughter carefully. In the past, this child didn't use all her strength to study. Look at her mind. If she works hard, she won't pass the exam.

"Mother, how is my shop?" Yan Yu asked.

Li Xuemei withdrew her gaze and groped for a box.

When Yan Yu saw the wooden box, his eyes widened.

She knew this box very well, Master brought it back from the palace, took the money inside, the box was useless, her father took it home, and mother used it to store valuable things at home.

Their family's money, as well as the forest land title deeds are here.

Li Xuemei opened the box, found a piece of paper, and handed it to her.

Yan Yu couldn't wait to pick it up, moved closer to some oil lamps, and took a glance at them.

Title deed!

The deed to her shop!

"You are still young, so I wrote my name." Li Xuemei said: "He Zhongren charged the Erliang Middle School admission fee, and the formalities were all handled by Xue Zongqi. This time, it took a total of three hundred and eighty-two taels, and you let me have four hundred taels of silver bills, and there are only eighteen taels left, now, it’s all here.”

She opened the box for Yan Yu to see.

"Wow! I really have a shop!" Yan Yu was so excited that she wanted to roll, worried that the land deed would be accidentally damaged, she hurriedly said: "Mom, you should keep it for me, just give me the key, and Yinzi, haha, I will go there tomorrow, measure the house first, draw a sketch, and then ask the uncles in the village to help with the renovation."

Li Xuemei laughed, "Aren't you going to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms tomorrow? You're also going to a shop in Fucheng? Do you still want to go to Huju to find your father? Your day is really fulfilling. I don't object to your troubles, but you can run away." Do you have to come over?"

Yan Yu: Ga!

Really can't run.

...

Yan Yu prioritized things.

The matter of Beirong is very important, and it must be settled early. Although I feel that those Beirong will not leave in the short term, it can be prevented, and it is better to make a quick decision.

Mushrooms can’t wait, fungi are so delicate, it’s best to pick them as soon as they grow, as a day’s delay will affect the taste.

There is no need to set the alarm clock, the rooster in her backyard will turn over as soon as it pulls its neck and calls her.

Get dressed and go out without washing your face.

First go to Luo's house and then to Cui's house, just run away from these two houses.

The news will spread throughout the village in a very short time.

Da Ya also got up early and went out.

She also has little sisters to be notified.

The two sisters went home after walking around. After breakfast, the outside of the courtyard gradually became lively.

There are quite a few people who want to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms.

Yan Yu tied the two baskets together and put them on the donkey.

A few hoes and bamboo crossbows were placed in one basket, and quilts were placed in the other basket, and Qing'er was carried into it.

She carried the iron rod by herself, and Da Ya also had an extra wooden rod in her hand.

Nanny Rong also carried a basket, and as soon as they left the yard, they saw that everyone in the village was dressed in the same way.

There are adults and children.

Because I have to walk a lot of mountain roads, there are many people like her family leading donkeys and mules, and there are fewer girls and children, and more children who are half-grown.

Yan Yu looked at the sky.

No nonsense, call everyone into the mountain.

Village head Luo also followed, and none of the village elders was left behind.

They are not for the mushrooms, but want to know the situation on the other side of the mountain. Let Qi Si say that the listeners are anxious and dry. After walking for more than ten days and almost half a month, let him talk, and they will finish talking in a few words. .

These few days, just a few words?

Village Chief Luo got angry.

After a night of precipitation, Yan Yu felt that the time had come.

On the way, he walked her and Fourth Uncle Qi in the mountains for a few days, and searched on the grassland for a few days, how to keep up with those Bei Rong, counted the tents, and told the villagers about the estimated number of people.

The villagers had a general idea in mind.

She also talked about what the grassland looked like, it was not very good for Tibetans, etc., and explained the difficulties clearly.

In the end, I talked about my plan, and I wanted to tell the old man the news, see if the government has any ideas, and then inform Xue Zongqi...

Frontier soldiers earn military merits, and if they go to the government office, they can share some of the benefits. As for Xiao'an Village, hehe, they are simply taken to drink soup.

But she can't say these words. Last night when the two of them closed the door, she could speak freely, but in front of outsiders, she still had to keep the door open.

This is not the time when Bei Rong came to the village. She can't do things without opening her mouth, and she bites the bullet and rushes up. This time, she thinks it is more appropriate for her father to come forward. After all, at her age, it is really hard to kill Bei Rong with her mouth shut. It was brutal.

She should be a strong, courageous, a little bit clever, able to settle accounts, earn a small amount of money, and be able to study well, the second child of the Yan family.

At most, by coincidence, some cattle and sheep were brought back. Well, maybe they accidentally killed a few more Bei Rong and the like.

Hey, in short, low-key, low-key.

Correct typos first and then correct~
