"And there are fragrant deer!?"
Chen Xianglan looked shocked and said happily: "Where is it? Show me, the things on that fragrant deer are worth a lot of money!"
People who live in the mountains have basically heard of the name of fragrant deer and musk.
"Here you are, Mrs. Chen!"
Xu Sheng quickly took two steps forward and exposed the fragrant deer behind him.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
After Chen Xianglan just shouted a few times, she suddenly felt something was wrong: "That's wrong! This fragrant deer doesn't look like it was shot with a gun, it seems like it was bitten to death by something!"
Li Shiqiang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect his mother to observe so carefully. He quickly told a little lie and said, "We didn't shoot the fragrant deer, but snatched it from someone else's mouth."
"That's right, that's right. As soon as Erwa came over with a gun, the guy left the fragrant deer and ran away."
Xu Sheng also followed this lie.
"That's it!"
Chen Xianglan didn't think much, and didn't ask who the guy was, and quickly let the two people into the house.
"Come on, come on, I must be hungry now. I've left some food for you two."
"good."
Li Shiqiang nodded and quickly said to Xu Sheng: "Sheng Wa, help me take my things to the kitchen, and I'll change some clothes."
Xu Sheng was just about to complain, but suddenly thought of the injury on his shoulder, and immediately fell silent.
But Chen Xianglan babbled a few words: "What clothes do you need to change when you come back? It's not a girl's house, so hurry up and eat first."
"It's okay, it's okay. Mother Chen, help me put it down quickly."
Xu Sheng pulled Chen Xianglan into the kitchen hurriedly.
After Li Shiqiang changed into a shirt, he saw Chen Xianglan walking into the main room carrying two large bowls.
"Put it in the pot to heat it up for you. Eat it quickly."
"good!"
As soon as Li Shiqiang took the bowl, he found that it was piled full of meat and mushrooms.
He took a look and found that the meat didn't seem to be mountain muntjac or pork.
After picking a piece and putting it in his mouth, he noticed the difference. He was stunned and said, "Mom, where did this bamboo meat come from?"
Chen Xianglan, who was on the side, was pouring water for the two of them. After hearing the words, she also said with a smile: "You old man cut these bamboos and caught them today. You caught five or six."
"Did the old man catch you?"
Li Shiqiang chewed the meat, but he didn't expect that the old man had such a skill.
At this time, Li Nongchang, who was in the corner of the main room, took two puffs of cigarette and suddenly said: "What's wrong? You can bring meat to the house, but I can't do it?"
"No no."
Li Shiqiang quickly shook his head knowingly and said: "This bamboo meat is quite delicious, but it's not easy to catch."
"Hmph, what's so hard to catch about this?"
Li Nongchang rarely showed a smile, and seriously told his son how to catch bamboo slips: "There are many ways to catch this bamboo slip."
"The first one is to put a mouse-catching trap, the second one is to smoke it, and the third one is to fill it with water. But all three methods are very troublesome. I'll teach you a trick, it's so simple. very."
"That is, after finding the hole where the bamboo slide is, first pull out all the grass around the hole, and then find a stick and a hoe and keep pounding it on the ground. The bamboo slide will soon be so scared that it will run out!"
Li Shiqiang nodded pretendingly and praised: "Awesome, awesome, I have never heard of this method."
"snort!"
Li Nongchang saw through it at a glance, snorted and took the cigarette outside to smoke.
At this time, Chen Xianglan also hurriedly came over and said, "Er baby, that Xiang Deerzi baby, have you cut it off? How much does it weigh?"
This thing was cut by Xu Sheng. He looked up and said, "Ms. Chen, I guess it costs two or three dollars."
"That's Xiaobanliang."
Chen Xianglan nodded with a smile on her face and said: "I heard others say that Mr. Chen also shot a fragrant deer in the mountains last year. I haven't heard how much he sold it for, but at the end of the year, he gave it to his family. Both sons asked for wives."
When Xu Sheng heard this, he quickly grinned and said, "So many?"
If musk really sells for that much money, wouldn't he be able to get a wife?
But at this time, Li Shiqiang on the side shook his head and said: "This musk is expensive, but it shouldn't be much expensive."
He remembered that the price of musk suddenly increased after experiencing a large number of massacres in the 1980s.
It's not even 1980 yet, so it shouldn't be much more expensive.
Many things cannot be discovered until later generations.
Just like the current price of Angong Niuhuang Pill is estimated to be the same as one or two bicycles, but in later generations it reached hundreds of thousands.
If Li Shiqiang had kept the musk in his hand, it would probably have been doubled hundreds or thousands of times in later generations.
But these days, there are still a lot of fragrant deer in the mountains. He can sell some, keep some, or catch some fragrant deer and raise them in the mountains, so that he can harvest musk once a year.
Thinking of this path to wealth, Li Shiqiang worked a little faster.
"Eat slowly, why are you eating so fast?"
Chen Xianglan, who was on the side, muttered something dissatisfied, and then said: "Should the mountain deer and the fragrant deer be eaten after eating, or should they be killed tomorrow?"
"Kill them after the food is eaten. The meat will smell bad tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll go get the kerosene lamp first."
After Li Shiqiang finished eating, he immediately ran to the kitchen and got busy.
First peel the skin, then divide the meat. After the meat is divided, marinate it immediately and wait until tomorrow to hang it up.
Of course, he didn't forget to ask Xu Sheng to take some meat back.
After finally finishing his work, he came to the yard and looked at the sky. He estimated that it was almost eleven o'clock.
These days, there are basically no watches or clocks in rural homes. We can only tell the time by looking at the sun and moon above our heads.
It's twelve o'clock directly above.
"Mom, I'll take this kerosene lamp back to the roof of the house and use it first."
After Li Shiqiang said something, he ignored Chen Xianglan's muttering and went back to the house.
After putting away the kerosene lamp, he took advantage of Chen Xianglan's absence to find some needlework.
The clothes he wore when he went into the mountains today still had tears scratched by the yellow tiger. If he didn't sew them up quickly, Chen Xianglan might discover them.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he licked the thread and prepared to thread the needle by the firelight, the door of the room was pushed open, and he quickly hid the things in his hands.
When he turned around to look, he was suddenly startled: "Old man, what are you doing here?"
He thought it would be Chen Xianglan who came in, but he didn't expect it was Li Nongchang.
Li Nongchang glanced at the kerosene lamp and said unhappily: "What's wrong? I can't come?"
"No no!"
"snort!"
Li Nongchang glanced at his youngest son Li Shijun, who was sleeping soundly, and then whispered: "I took on a private job. Someone asked me to help him deliver 500 moso bamboos. It costs 50 yuan to transport and move them."
"Private work?"
Li Shiqiang stared, and shouted in a low voice in great surprise: "Old man, aren't you afraid of being known?"
