Chapter 30 How much is a fox skin worth
"This meat..."
"What a big piece of meat. Isn't this Xu educated youth too generous?"
"Yes, it's so sincere to give such a big piece of meat to your apprenticeship."
"If I want to have such a piece of meat, I have to eat one or two pieces every time!"
Gu Yun felt a little proud when she saw everyone's greedy looks.
"I'll cut the meat into pieces in a while, everyone come and get some." Gu Yun said very generously.
"That's so embarrassing."
"Yes, this meat is your apprenticeship ceremony, how can we be embarrassed."
Gu Yun felt even happier when she saw this, so she continued: "We are all sisters who live in the same courtyard, so don't be strangers to me."
The hands that take people are short, and the mouth that eats people is soft.
From now on, she would see if these people had the nerve to say anything about her behind her back.
"Sister Yun, you are so kind. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me. I, Xie Lan, will never refuse."
"Then thank you to the beautiful and generous Sister Fangyun for allowing us to eat meat that we haven't seen for a long time."
"Sister Yun is still as generous as before. It's really great to live with Sister Yun."
Gu Yun was quite pleased with the gestures and goodwill expressed one by one.
Li Qing silently wrote down all this and prepared to tell Xu Ye when she went back.
Now, she understood a little bit why Xu Ye asked her to bring dinner over.
Only in this way can Gu Yun have it all to herself.
It seems that collective life is not as beautiful as she imagined.
Xu Ye went home directly after leaving the Small Yard for Educated Youth, without staying on the road.
As soon as he got home, Jiang Ruo'an urged Xu Ye to go to bed.
Because he had to get up at three o'clock in the morning to go hunting, he didn't have much time to sleep.
She drove Jiang Ruyue to bed early because she still expected Jiang Ruyue to take care of Xu Ye after he went to the mountain.
Jiang Ruoan had already prepared the things they wanted when they entered the mountain.
Xu Ye slept until three o'clock in the morning when he was woken up. Because he didn't have a watch at this time, the specific things were not clear.
Only after Xu Ye got up did he realize that it was Zhang Sanbao who had arrived first.
Xu Ye carried a backpack, which contained raincoats, clothes, and some food such as sweet potatoes and bacon.
The three men led the hounds and left the village under the not-so-bright moonlight.
"You two just need to follow me closely. My eyesight is very good and I can see very clearly." Xu Ye explained.
For him, it was almost like dusk now, and it did not affect his ability to see in all directions.
Not many people know that Xu Ye was nearsighted. After all, the impact of three hundred degrees of myopia when doing farm work was not particularly great.
Moreover, except for a few educated youths with whom he had good connections, Xu Ye did not interact with anyone else at first.
After his glasses were damaged, he never wore them again.
"It's so enviable. My eyes don't work well at night." Zhang Sanbao said with some envy.
Jiang Ruyue and Zhang Sanbao can't see very far, but seeing people and roads is not a big problem.
Now they mainly walked on the main road, and it was already dawn when they entered the mountain.
The three of them hurried on quickly. Normally it would take four hours to walk from the village to Black Fox Ridge.
By the time they arrived, the sun had already risen.
On the way, they only rested twice, and neither time lasted more than ten minutes.
Now that he was going into the mountains, Xu Ye planned to rest for a while.
"Let's rest here for a while, and I'll go pick up some firewood to heat up the sweet potatoes and bacon."
Eating cold food can hurt your stomach, so it is better to eat hot food.
I don’t have any money in my pocket now, otherwise I could buy an aluminum pot so I can take it to the mountains to cook.
Jiang Ruyue and Zhang Sanbao found a place to sit down and walked for about four hours. Even with the cloth straps on their legs, they would feel sore. Ten minutes later, Xu Ye came back with some firewood.
Xu Ye found that he ate a lot more than before. Fortunately, Jiang Ruoan was well prepared and brought them enough sweet potatoes.
Zhang Sanbao also brought a lot of them, and after following Xu Ye to kill the four wild boars, his family gained more confidence.
After eating, they rested for a while and then went directly into the mountains.
The hounds had eaten some of the meat they had brought with them and were in a state of being half full.
It is possible to find prey during the day, as long as the hound's nose is sharp enough.
"Brother Ye, do you think there are still black foxes in this Black Fox Ridge?" Zhang Sanbao asked curiously.
"It would be nice to have a fox, but don't even think about a black fox." Xu Ye said very simply.
"Why?" Jiang Ruyue asked with some confusion.
"In ancient times, it was often said that the first-grade black fox, the second-grade mink, and the third-grade fox raccoon dog. Black foxes are usually caused by the blackening of red foxes. They are a genetic mutation and are very rare in themselves." Xu Ye explained.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Brother Ye, you know so much." Zhang Sanbao looked at Xu Ye with admiration.
What kind of genetic mutation causes it sounds particularly advanced.
Jiang Ruyue just looked at Xu Ye, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
She dropped out of school one month after her first year of junior high school because she couldn't afford the tuition. She has always been envious of others who could go to high school or even college.
However, her grades were extremely good at that time and she was always among the best in the class.
If she had the chance to continue studying, she felt that it would not be difficult for her to go to high school.
Unfortunately, there is no chance to return to school now.
"I don't know how much a piece of fox skin is worth, or whether the fox meat is delicious." Zhang Sanbao couldn't help but wonder.
Because he has never beaten a fox before, and only Li Dongming has done so in their village.
Black Fox Ridge was also a place that Li Dongming directed Xu Ye to.
Because fox pelts are quite valuable. The buying stations can sell them for 20 yuan each, so they are very valuable furs.
Li Dongming had beaten many foxes before.
Although fox skin is valuable, fox meat is worthless.
Because fox meat has a strong smell, relatively few people eat it.
The buying station definitely wants it, but the price is less than a pound or a cent.
Xu Ye didn't know it, but he had a way to get rid of most of the stinky smell of fox meat and make it into sausages.
Xu Ye glanced at Zhang Sanbao and prepared to give him a price incentive to stimulate him.
"The previous price was 20 yuan for a good raw hide and 25 yuan for a cooked leather. I don't know the specific price now. We will know when we get it."
Hearing the price quoted by Xu Ye, Zhang Sanbao turned red with excitement.
"It's so valuable, then don't I have a chance to collect 500 yuan?"
Xu Ye frowned when he heard 500 yuan.
"You collected this money, don't you want to use it to marry Luo Shan?" Xu Ye couldn't help but ask.
At this time, five hundred yuan is a huge sum of money even for the working class who are firmly attached to their jobs.
How dare Luo Shan offer such a sky-high price as a betrothal gift?
He knew that Zhang Sanbao was licking a little, but he didn't expect that he would be so delirious.
Five hundred yuan is enough to build a brick house of about a hundred square meters.
If you have five hundred, who can’t you marry?
There are village flowers in Shangxi Village, but not in Xiaxi Village?
There are many good-looking and virtuous girls from all over the country.
With five hundred yuan, a lot of people are rushing to get married.
Still seeing less beauties, Xu Ye thought he should take him to see the world and see the vast forest, so as not to hang himself on a tree.
Foster parents, today is the last day of October, remember to vote for Fufu! ! !
