Chapter 294 Discussion and Distribution
“Brother, you have caught a new deer and come back.”
Not long after Zhang An and the others came back, the sound of swallows came from the door. .
And it’s not just Yanzi, there are also other little kids here, and they are quite well informed.
Since the winter vacation, these children have been playing too wildly.
I go out as soon as it’s dawn and don’t go home until dark.
Even when eating, the adults in the family have to shout throughout the village.
This is the end of the year, and the adults in the family are busy cleaning up the house and preparing for the New Year.
And at the end of the year, there are some taboos in the countryside, that is, children should not be beaten or scolded at the beginning or end of the year.
That’s why they dare to play around so wildly.
Normally, my buttocks would have been swollen by the bamboo strips.
Of course, there are exceptions.
For example, Li Yao is quite happy when he plays every day.
But every time Zhou Lan gets her back, her butt has to suffer.
No way, who told his mother Zhou Lan to have nothing to do every day, so all her energy was on him.
In the past, his grandparents were still protecting him.
But now that they have lived together for a long time, the two elders also know that their grandson is naughty.
If you don't ignore it, it will be terrible when you grow up, so now they don't interfere at all with Zhou Lan's discipline.
The little girl is still very polite. She calls out to someone first after entering the door.
“Yes, I caught a new deer and kept it in the pen.”
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yanzi was ready to lead the baby team to run towards the circle.
“It’s okay to look, but don’t get too close. They are not big flowers, and they don’t know you.”
As soon as the little guy ran out, he was caught by Zhang An return.
You are young and your temper is too hasty.
"Did you hear that? You are not allowed to get close. You can only look at it but not touch it."
This road was just captured from the mountain, and Zhang An did not bring it to the space to tame it.
I am worried that these children are too close, just like they usually play with big flowers.
Then if the deer goes crazy, it’s hard to say who will be jumped.
"I got it, brother, let me go."
Zhang Yan didn't go, so the other dolls could only stop and wait.
Zhang An has always doted on the only sister in the family, and was not short of food, entertainment, and pocket money.
So in the past two years, the little girl seems to have gradually evolved into the leader of the village's doll army, taking over the banner of his brother.
Looking at the children running into the circle in a hurry, Zhang An smiled and shook his head.
Because I was worried, I patted the little tiger and let him rest in the pen while watching from the side.
With the tiger cubs around, the deer did not dare to lose their temper.
"Brother, these deer are so small. They are not as big as the big flowers, but they ignore us, which is not fun at all."
The little girl ran into the circle and called After several times, they noticed that the three deer ignored them, and now they ran to Zhang An to complain.
"Then they ignore you, do you still like the little deer?"
The little girl has grown up slowly now, and Zhang An no longer rubs her head like before.
“Of course I like it. The book says that sika deer is the most beautiful little animal.”
The little girl is in first grade this year and has learned a lot from books.
During class, when the teacher talked about small animals, the little girl listened carefully.
Every time I hear someone I know, there is one in Zhang An’s family, the little girl is always very positive and says:
Teacher, I know this, my brother’s family raises one.
After hearing this, the students from other villages in the class were very envious.
We are all children in the mountains, and we are not too curious about animals or anything like that.
But the food raised at home is usually chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, and their children have no chance to come into contact with other things.
Especially once, their Chinese teacher talked about the time when the eagle catches the chick.
I have been telling the children how ferocious the eagle is, and it especially likes to catch chickens.
The little girl became anxious on the spot when she heard this. She quickly stood up and said:
Teacher, eagles are not fierce, they are very good, they don’t eat chickens, and they play with me every day.
The little guy didn’t expect that he would immediately stop the teacher.
The little girl has a good personality, generous, lively, and smart. Every teacher likes her.
But only in Chinese class, I always like to argue with the teacher.
Of course, their teacher would not blame her.
After all, they probably know the student's situation and know that the little girl didn't lie.
But this interrupted her train of thought.
There was no other way. In the end, the teacher put the account on Zhang An’s head.
What a smart kid he is, but it’s a pity that his elder brother has misled him.
“Hahaha, my brother likes it too. Whether it is boiled or stir-fried, it will taste better if you add more chili pepper.”
When the little girl heard this, huh? Something is wrong.
Don’t you like deer? Why is it boiled and stir-fried, with spicy pepper added?
However, children's thinking will always be led by adults.
"Is it really delicious? But I haven't eaten it before."
The little girl thought about it seriously, and finally confirmed that she hadn't eaten it.
"Haha, it's okay. I'll eat it here when my aunt prepares it in the evening."
"And me, I haven't eaten it either."
The little boy next to me Li Yao quickly followed suit, fearing that it would be too late for him.
After playing with the two children for a while, they also had a rest.
"Yanzi, go and call Brother Zhang Ping and Grandpa Huang'er over for me."
When the little girl heard Zhang An arranged the task, she immediately got up and ran out to call someone.
After a while, the old uncle and Zhang Ping came first, and Huang Erye came last with his two children.
"Second Master, I am going to kill this deer while I have time."
Although it is said that it will not go bad if left for a few more days in winter, the meat will not go bad if it is kept for a long time. Fresh.
And the most critical thing is not the meat problem, but the musk in the sachet will lose its fragrance.
“Okay, prepare to boil the water, and we’ll take care of it later.”
Since I’ve seen Mr. Huang’s skinning skills, this deer will definitely let his old man do it. .
Although the deer is not big, it is good to have an extra skin.
There is a fire stove in the yard. After lighting the fire, you can put a pot on it and burn it.
The deer is not very big and has been bitten to death, so there is no need to go to Lin Youde.
Nothing bothers the second master. It just so happens that Mr. Huang wants to help peel the skin, so he just happens to let him help with it.
While the water was boiling, Zhang An took out the venison he had killed last night.
After the deer was slaughtered yesterday, there was probably about 112 kilograms of meat left.
Although the big dogs they brought with them ate a lot last night.
In the end, there were nearly a hundred kilograms of meat left, and Zhang An planned to get some of it while others were around.
If divided among one person, there are about twenty kilograms of meat, which is enough for the family to eat for a long time.
When they were dividing the meat, Huang Erye and Zhang Ping generously gave up the two hind legs of the deer to Chen Ze and Ding Yi.
When they got the venison, they originally wanted to sell it on the street.
Although the two hind legs are better, they are all priced at the same price.
Give it to Chen Ze and Ding Yi. They won’t be at a loss, and they can make good friends with them, so why not do it.
"There is also a deerskin. It's hard to divide this thing, but I can't bear to sell it, so just treat it like I bought it."
This deerskin is larger than the average deerskin, and it is peeled off. It doesn't matter, Zhang An wants to keep it at home and use it for himself.
“Buy whatever you want, take it if you like, a piece of skin is not worth much.”
In the past, no matter what kind of skin, many people sold it to dealers, so Prices are kept very low.
But now, if you sell it, you can still make some money.
As soon as Mr. Huang said that, Zhang Ping had no objections, and Chen Ze and Ding Yi had no objections even more.
Everyone has a strong balance in their hearts. If it weren’t for Zhang An and their dog this time.
It is impossible for them to catch these deer. At most, they will kill one.
If it were someone else like this, with their naked posture, everything they hunted in the mountains would be divided into half first.
So no one wants this deerskin. In the end, it is said to be given to the tigers for their hard work.
After the meat was divided, there were still three deer left.
"There are also deer in the pen. What are you going to do? Kill them in the village and take them away, or take them to the city and then kill them?"
"Just kill them here at your house. Come on, you have to find a slaughterhouse in the city, which is very troublesome."
Chen Ze thought for a while and said after looking at each other.
In fact, it is not a problem for them to get them to the city, and it is even less difficult for them to find a slaughterhouse.
But after they saw Huang Erye’s skinning skills, they also wanted to get a skin like that. They gave the skin to Zhang An willingly, but that didn't stop them from wanting it too.
“But it’s a little too early these days. We’ll wait a week or two before we start, and we’ll be able to have the New Year’s Eve dinner by then.”
Anyway, Zhang An’s family There is room in the pen, and it won't be a big deal to keep him here for a few days.
They are planning to take home the same year’s goods as gifts, so it must be a little later.
If you kill it early and put it in the refrigerator, the meat will not be fresh.
"Then there's only one left. Why don't we kill it with the deer later? It's still early anyway."
Huang Erye took a look at the weather and said, "Just right. There is a market tomorrow, so I can sell it on the street.”
There are many villas near Changqing, and there are many big bosses.
Huang Erye wants to take advantage of the fact that it is not yet the end of the year and people are not leaving, so there will be more people buying on the street and the price will be higher.
Otherwise, after a few days, the rich people will go home to celebrate the New Year, and then they will have to sell it to the locals.
It’s not that everyone dislikes the locals being poor, but there are really not many locals who are rich.
And another reason is that locals like to bargain very much, whether they are rich or not.
So it is better to take advantage of the fact that there is still a boss than selling it to locals at a cheaper price at the end of the year.
In this way, the fate of a little deer was decided by everyone in a few words.
I just don’t know which one of the three deer is the unlucky one.
After the discussion, Chen Ze and Ding Yi took out the money and handed it to Mr. Huang and the others.
"Second Master, this is the money we paid to buy the deer. I don't know how much we should give, so I just gave a rough amount."
In fact, this money can be given to Zhang An. It’s just that Zhang An is familiar with them, so it’s best for Mr. Huang.
"What kind of money are you giving me? We all caught it together and just took it away."
This was not a pretense of refusal, Huang Erye had discussed it with Zhang Ping.
The two deer were given to them as gifts, and they never thought of charging money.
"That's not possible. We were just going into the mountains to play. Thanks to you for being willing to take us, and we didn't contribute much."
Chen Ze and Ding had a pair of their own The positioning is very accurate, they just go and play.
Originally in the mountains, people have to spend energy taking care of themselves, so how can they share in the harvest of others.
"How can you say that? We went into the mountains together. Even if we are a group, how can we share our efforts?"
Huang Erye shook his head. In the past, during the autumn hunting in the village, we put in more effort. If you put in less effort, you still get the same amount of money.
"Second Master, we know everyone's good intentions, but we have just divided the venison. Even if this deer is the deer, we still have to give what is due."
The deer leg just now You can call it a gift, but this live deer cannot be called that.
The tutor they received since childhood did not allow them to do such a thing.
"Okay, Second Master, let's accept them as long as they are given to us. There are not many opportunities to get rid of them."
Zhang An said after seeing them deadlocked.
Collecting the money is good for both parties. For Mr. Huang, he can share more money.
For Chen Ze and Ding Yi, they can also avoid losing a big favor. After all, favors are more important than anything else, and they are not owners who are short of money.
When Zhang An finally spoke, Mr. Huang didn't say anything further.
"Well, in this case, we will accept the money, but it won't be this much."
The two gave a lot of money, a full thousand yuan, which works out to 500 yuan a head.
“Those two deer killed a hundred kilograms of clean meat, they are not worth so much money, and the hairy deer is even less worth it.”
Then Mr. Huang counted six hundred The money will be refunded, and it will be calculated as two hundred yuan for a hairy deer.
Because when they were catching deer, people did follow them all over the mountains.
Chen Ze and Ding Yi are considered by Huang Erye to be their own people.
If you get the goods yourself, there must be an internal price.
This time Chen Ze and Ding Yi did not refuse. They had to accept some of the kindness given by others.
Everyone has finished saying what needs to be said. Mr. Huang went home and brought his royal pig-killing knife and skinning knife, ready to start.
Although the water in the pot is not boiling, you need to peel it this time, so there is no need to scald it with boiling water.
Boiling water is just for cleaning the internal organs and other places later.
The deer is not big in size. Huang Erye skillfully used the skinning knife and easily peeled off the skin of the deer completely.
The whole process took less than half an hour.
Then when he was disemboweling, the old man dazzled with the butcher knife in his hand, and the sachet and deer whip were completely removed.
In the end, the old man specially found a sealed bag, packed it and handed it to Zhang An to avoid losing the scent.
Originally, Zhang An planned to let Mr. Huang sell it and everyone would share the money.
But Mr. Huang said that the deer was a gift brought to Zhang An by the two leopards.
So this thing belongs to Zhang An himself and is not counted as their prey.
And this was not an ordinary thing. They would not accept anything they said, so Zhang An had no choice but to give up.
The next thing that took the most time was the deer at the back. After all, it was still alive.
It's different from the one last night. You can do it directly. This one still needs to be pressed down for bleeding.
And when slaughtering, because the heart of the deer needs to be preserved, it must be opened quickly, the heart of the deer must be tied into a tube and then taken out.
This is a grass deer, and the most valuable thing about it now is its heart.
There was nothing I could do about the one I ate in the mountains last night, but Mr. Huang couldn’t bear to eat this one.
It doesn’t matter how much you sell it for, I’m just worried that it won’t be easy to find when you need it, so it’s more convenient to keep it.
It took until dark at night to finally untie the deer.
Now there was another piece of skin, and Mr. Huang threw it to Zhang An without thinking.
Zhang An brought Zhou Yang over to cook dinner that night.
After all, there were a lot of people eating, and Zhang An didn’t want to overwork his old mother.
Although Wang Fang is good at cooking, she only cooks home-cooked dishes.
There are a lot of dishes to be made tonight. Except for the heart of the deer, you can eat the rest by yourself.
After all, Zhou Yang has gone through systematic study and further education in a large restaurant in the provincial capital. He has a lot of menus.
When Zhang An and the others had tidied up the yard, Zhou Yang also made dinner.
Before dinner, Chen Ze went to the car and brought several bottles of wine over.
"Hey, I felt so depressed after drinking that two taels of wine last night. I can drink freely today."
A few people next to me nodded in sympathy. They have never drank alcohol before. None of them were as frugal as last night.
Take small sips, for fear of losing it in one gulp.
"This liver is fried well. I regret it. If I had known I would have brought back that deer liver last night."
The deer liver was sliced by Zhou Yang, and after removing the fishy smell, he used Stir-fried ginger is simply too delicious.
After Ding Yi ate a piece, he felt a little sad for the piece of deer liver and intestines that they had thrown away.
"I think Zhou Yang's craftsmanship is really good. Have you ever thought about opening a restaurant in the city?"
When dealing with several people, they all have their own names, although Zhou Yang calls Zhang An Xiao every day. Uncle, but they can't treat Qiao as their uncle.
"I'm fine at home now. Let's see later."
If someone had said that when he first came back, Zhou Yang would have agreed immediately.
But now, he can also make money to support his family in the village, and it is very easy.
When they are busy every day, the family works happily. When they are not busy, they can cook some side dishes and drink some wine with Zhang An and the others.
After staying with Zhang An for a long time, his mentality also changed.
He thinks Zhang An is right, making money is to live a good life.
Now, he feels that life at home is pretty good.
So he doesn't think much about going to the city now.
After dinner, everyone went back after not sitting for long.
After all, I just came back from the mountains today, so I must have a good rest.
Zhang An looked at the remaining two-thirds of the deer meat and divided it into three parts.
Don’t worry about other people, the two grandfathers have to be sent there.
Especially the second grandfather, he had talked about this deer meat last time, and this time it was able to fulfill his wish.
With the remaining portion, Zhang An plans to keep it in the space to keep it fresh, and deliver it to his mother-in-law when he goes to the city.
When you go to bed at night, you must hand in your homework to Teacher Su.
As soon as Su Ying went on vacation, he went to the mountains. He still had to hand in the homework he owed.
After spending some time and answering several big questions, Su Ying huddled in Zhang An's arms and leaned against her.
Zhang An knew that his wife liked to hear him talk about things in the mountains.
So I told Su Ying about the process of entering the mountain.
When I first heard that the leader of the sheep knelt down for the difficult-to-delivery ewe, the eyes of the emotional Teacher Su started to glow with little pearls.
Fortunately, Zhang An let the sheep go, otherwise he would definitely be criticized by his wife now.
Finally, when Su Ying heard that two leopards came to the camp to deliver gifts, Su Ying was startled at first, and then surprised.
Of course, Zhang An retells the story he told once about the leopard.
Of course, Zhang An still didn’t tell Su Ying about space.
The things in space are too weird, so Zhang An has decided not to tell his family until the end.
Save them from having to bear the mental burden all day long after they find out.
