Chapter 90 The whole family drove to go shopping
“You can’t exchange these yellow sheep’s horns.” Li Long took the yellow sheep’s head and said to Wang Caimi, “Brother Caimi, you can exchange it for the yellow sheep’s meat. We’ll keep the horns for use. "
"You can change it to one," Wang Caimi said with a smile, holding up a clip of bullets. "Ten bullets. In exchange for four pounds of yellow mutton, is it okay if I don’t want the meat but only have one horn?” I can exchange it with you."
"Okay, then give me four pounds of yellow mutton. I want the ewe." Wang Caimi retreated and asked for the next best thing.
Neither Li Long nor Wang Cai fans told him, but he knew that Wang Cai fans should know the function of the yellow ram's horn.
Now that information is not so developed, most people still think that gazelles are just like wild goats and will not think about antelopes at all.
A lot of people came to exchange for yellow mutton today. Xu Haijun exchanged ten kilograms by himself and used twenty rounds of bullets.
Most of them come here to try new things. These days, bullets are relatively easy to get. Militia training requires live ammunition shooting twice a year. The barrels of bullets are also loose, and bullets taken from the Armed Forces Department are usually not returned. Although the number of shots is registered, it actually depends on one's mood.
The price set by Li Long was ten rounds of bullets for four kilograms of yellow mutton. Before dark, the forty kilograms of yellow mutton had been exchanged. If Li Long hadn't asked his sister-in-law to cut a yellow mutton leg and half Fan the ewe chops, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the ewe to eat.
When it got dark and no one came, Li Jianguo and Li Long put the remaining yellow mutton into a spare house without a fire and hung it up.
“When has our family been so rich in meat?” Li Jianguo sighed as he looked at a fan of wild boar meat, two sheep and now two yellow sheep hanging on the beam.
There are still more than a hundred kilograms of processed fish in the spare house, as well as two large tanks of refined mutton oil and wild boar oil, as well as several plates of sheep in the water.
There is almost no space left for the vacant houses.
“What if I can’t finish the food in spring?” Liang Yuemei was also worried.
"What can we do? Let's divide it." Li Long said with a smile, "In addition to Uncle Liang's family, don't my sister-in-law have two younger sisters? Let each family share some.
We can't divide it here. Just sell it to someone in the team. I don’t have any money, but there are a lot of miscellaneous things. If that doesn’t work, I can just ask a carpenter to make furniture. Anyway, there is a lot of wood at home.”
When Li Long said this, Li Jianguo nodded with a smile. Lots of clever ideas.
"Let's eat, let's drink mutton soup."
"Mom, I don't want to drink mutton soup." Li Qiang said with a bitter face, "I'm tired of drinking it every day."
"You can still drink mutton soup. Who do you think can eat like this every day?" Liang Yuemei scolded.
"You can't drink it every day..." Li Juan was also muttering quietly.
"Then let me roast some mutton for you?" Li Long said with a smile. He saw that the fire in the stove was at the right time. The red charcoal was completely burned, there was no smoke, and there was no open flame. At this time The barbecue is just right.
"Really? Uncle, you haven't baked anything for us for a long time!" Li Qiang cheered.
"Xiaolong, just spoil them." Liang Yuemei glanced at Li Long angrily, "How do you grill this meat?"
"Easy." Li Long went to fold some thin wires, used a knife to cut off strips of meat from the sheep hanging in the house, skewered them on the thin wires, then smeared salt and spicy noodles on them, opened the stove lid, Grasp the long end of the thin wire and slowly push the meat down and start to rotate.
The thin wire left in my hand is relatively long, so it is not very hot. The meat only stayed in the stove for less than half a minute. When the oil dripped down, it was lifted up.
"Uncle, is it baked?" Li Qiang asked eagerly from the side.
"Bring the plate over." Li Long ordered.
Li Qiang hurriedly went to get an enamel plate and held it with both hands.
Li Long put the roasted meat on the plate and said to Li Qiang:
"Go, bring it to your father and your mother, they will eat first."
Li Jianguo drank at the table Drinking mutton soup, listening to the movement, and smiling, it feels so beautiful.
Li Qiang knew from the last time he ate roasted old bird that his parents had to eat whatever his uncle cooked first, so he didn’t hesitate and immediately brought the plate to the table.
At this time, Li Long had already cut the meat again, spread the seasonings on it and started roasting it.
Soon, four more skewers of meat were cooked. He put the meat on the plate again and said to Li Qiang:
"Okay, let's go eat with your sister."
Li Juan followed He carefully picked up a piece of meat on the plate and handed it to Li Long's mouth: "Uncle, you eat!"
Li Long smiled and ate the piece of meat.
When Li Qiang saw it, he hurriedly picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Li Long's mouth:
"Uncle, you eat!"
"Okay, that's it. Two pieces of meat are enough. You can eat it." , I’ll bake it again.”
Barbecue is naturally more flavorful than mutton soup, but Li Long didn’t let them eat more. It was difficult to digest at night, so two skewers per person was enough.
A happy family.
After dinner, Li Long said to Li Jianguo:
"Brother, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days. Let's go to the street to buy some things together as a family tomorrow."
"Go to the street?" When Li Qiang heard this, his eyes lit up, "I want to go!"
At this time, going to the county town to buy things was called "going to the streets."
“You have all the New Year’s goods at home, why go out to the streets?” Liang Yuemei was used to being thrifty and didn’t want to spend more money. Besides, when Li Long proposed this, he was definitely prepared to spend money. She also didn't want her brother-in-law to spend more money.
How about saving that money to marry a wife?
"Juan and Qiangqiang haven't been out on the streets for two or three months, right?" Li Long said, "Sister-in-law, you must have been away for half a year, right? Let's go and have a look. It's very lively during the Chinese New Year. Lively.”
Liang Yuemei looked at Li Jianguo.
Li Juan also looked at her father nervously.
“Let’s go.” Li Jianguo smiled and said, “It happens that there is nothing at home.”
"There are so many things in the house..." Liang Yuemei was still worried.
"Let Sister Lu take care of it. Anyway, once the door is locked, no one can come and pick the lock at this time, right?" Li Long said.
"That won't happen!" Li Jianguo waved his hand, "If you dare to come over and pick the lock at this time, you are looking for a fight."
The matter is settled like that.
"By the way, Xiaolong, if you don't replace Wang Caimin's yellow ram's horn, what will you do with it?" Li Jianguo asked.
"Brother, those yellow sheep horns are very useful." Li Long said, "This yellow sheep is not a sheep..."
"What is a yellow sheep if it is not a sheep? Why is it called a yellow sheep if it is not a sheep?" "Li Qiang's thirst for knowledge has always been strong.
"Yellow sheep should actually be called Huangling." Li Long only explained, and Li Jianguo understood immediately.
"No wonder!" He suddenly realized, "That really can't be exchanged for him - this stuff is a precious medicinal material!"
Seeing that his elder brother understood, Li Long didn't explain too much. Yes, he continued:
"Brother, just put the yellow sheep's head and horns away so that you are prepared."
"Yes."
Liang Yuemei was not sure and asked:
"This horn What’s the use?”
"Anti-pyretic and anti-convulsant. The baby suddenly has a fever. Peel some powder from the horns and put it in warm water for the baby to drink. The fever will be reduced." Li Jianguo said, "I never expected that the yellow sheep... is actually an antelope! ”
"Fortunately, I didn't change it. Wang Cai fans must also know it." Liang Yuemei also suddenly realized, "The eyes are still very poisonous."
Li Long smiled, that was something he had experienced before.
He returned to the east room and fell asleep peacefully.
It’s just that the few people here in the West House couldn’t sleep well when they thought about going out to the streets tomorrow.
