Replace in the morning

This big wild boar was still alive when Murong Shuangshuang brought it back, and there was no need to find a butcher. Murong Shuangshuang could kill the pig himself, put a large pot of pig blood in, add salt and stir it into pig blood tofu. Don't waste it.

Then they lit a fire to remove the hair, disembowelled the pig and took out the water. Since the family was not short of money, Murong Shuangshuang decided to keep all the big wild boar for himself. They made dumplings first and made bacon out of whatever he could not eat.

Murong Shuangshuang, Murong Ting, and She started making bacon together. After the whole pig's meat was dried and dried, the whole yard became a forest of meat.

In fact, eating too much meat such as bacon and bacon is not very good for the body, but if you can't eat meat, these things are still good for the body. At least they can provide enough nutrients to make people grow fat.

Looking at the bacon strips all over the yard, Murong Shuangshuang decided to hunt a wild boar next time, cut the meat into pieces, fry it, and store it in lard. It is said that such meat tastes good and lasts a long time.

After cooking the pork, Murong Shuangshuang entered his room. There were three half-carved semi-finished jade ornaments in the room. These jade stones also had impurities, but there were not many, far less than what Murong Shuangshuang found before.

That piece of jade has many impurities.

Among these three pieces of jade, the best-quality one, half a man's height, was sent by the county magistrate, along with two hundred taels of silver and a large cart of japonica rice noodles, cloth and other items. It is said that before

Which jade ornament with Jiangnan scenery was given as a gift by the county magistrate to Shangguan, who was born in Jiangnan, and it was appreciated by Shangguan.

For this reason, the county magistrate decided to let Murong Ting make another jade ornament. This time, the county magistrate produced the stone himself and directly gave Murong Ting 200 taels for the craftsmanship fee. The county magistrate was obviously a good character, although the gift he gave was not

The market price, but with the protection of the county magistrate, the Murong family made money even if they worked for nothing, not to mention the income of two hundred taels.

Because they had seen the jade ornaments before, in addition to the county magistrate, two wealthy businessmen came to ask Murong Ting to help carve a jade ornament. They were given the market price, and the carving of half a person's height cost five hundred taels of silver.

cost.

This is the reason why Murong Ting is not famous. Otherwise, it would be impossible to carve a jade ornament half the height of a man without more than a thousand taels of silver. It is ironic to say that the people live a life where there is no idle land in the world and the farmers starve to death.

But those so-called upper-class adults live a more luxurious life than in the past peaceful and prosperous times.

When the founding of the People's Republic of China, jade ornaments were only worth one or two hundred taels of craftsmanship, even if they were as tall as a person. Nowadays, all kinds of luxury and pleasure playthings have become so expensive that ordinary people cannot imagine it.

With the money given by the county magistrate and two wealthy businessmen, the Murong family's life is now completely better. They don't have to worry about taxes or lack of money. They eat polished rice and white noodles, and every meal of meat and vegetables is paired with two dishes and one soup. Life is completely smooth.

Better.

Now Murong Shuangshuang has deep inner strength. If she just lets go and works hard, she can carve a jade ornament in three days, but normal craftsmen don't have this ability.

There are no machines or equipment these days, and a jade carving is all done manually. To make a jade carving that is half a person tall, it would take a fast master three months, and a slow master half a year.

So the time Murong Ting gave was that it would take him at least four months to complete a jade sculpture. Fortunately, the county magistrate and the two wealthy businessmen had seen the world and knew how long it would take to complete a jade sculpture, so they both said they could wait.

.

Fang Kexin, who lives next door, found another business. Murong Shuangshuang didn't know what it was exactly, but she only knew that it was a food business. Her father was carrying two wooden barrels on a pole, and the smell of food was inside.

Early in the morning, Fang Kexin followed Fang Laoer out. She is still malnourished, but it is not as serious as a small neck and a big head. However, her complexion is still yellow and her hair is as sparse as unkempt grass. Fang Kexin every day

When I comb my hair, I worry that my hair will go bald before it grows.

Fang Kexin's and Murong Shuangshuang's homes were right next to each other, and the two families looked up and met each other. However, Murong Shuangshuang's temperament was a bit cold, and he was not pretentious with the girls in the Fang family, and he was not familiar with Fang Kexin.

Murong Shuangshuang had always had no feelings for Fang Kexin, but Fang Kexin was envious and jealous of Murong Shuangshuang, and had some inexplicable hostility that even she didn't understand.

Regardless of whether they are hunting or not, Murong Shuangshuang and his family are accustomed to getting up early in the morning and going for a walk in the mountains. Fang Kexin also has to start business early. The chance of Murong Shuangshuang and Fang Kexin meeting each other increases sharply.

It's just that Murong Shuangshuang only said hello every time, and left directly without anyone criticizing her for being rude, without saying a word to the Fang family at all.

It was Murong Shuangshuang's luck today. When she was in the mountains, she encountered the wild boar group from before, and she killed another wild boar. It was rare luck to get such a big prey two days in a row. Although

Previously, she had thought of killing more wild boars and soaking them in lard, but Murong Shuangshuang did not expect to get another wild boar so quickly.

There was no shortage of meat at home, so Murong Shuangshuang decided to take the wild boar alive to a restaurant in town that he had been cooperating with, and buy some candies and pastries to eat.

The town was as lively as ever, but when entering the town, Murong Shuangshuang saw many people wearing rags and dragging their families with them as if they were victims of a disaster, gathered near the door.

Murong Shuangshuang was a little confused. The past two years had been going smoothly, and she hadn't heard of any refugees nearby. Moreover, these people looked like refugees, but their spirits were more frightened than the numbness of refugees who had been fleeing for a long time.

When delivering prey to the restaurant, Murong Shuangshuang casually inquired with the shopkeeper who came to weigh and give money. Murong Shuangshuang had always come to deliver wild animals to the restaurant in recent years. It was not without the gangsters in the town to pay Murong Shuangshuang's attention.

Without exception, these people were all beaten to death by Murong Shuangshuang in the end. As time went by, everyone became aware of Murong Shuangshuang's ferocity. As a result, no one dared to cause trouble with Murong Shuangshuang. Instead, they avoided Murong Shuangshuang.

.

Because the shopkeeper knew that Murong Shuangshuang was capable, he had always been very enthusiastic towards her. Now when he heard Murong Shuangshuang asked, he sighed and said with some pity: "They are also a bunch of pitiful people."

After sighing this sentence, the shopkeeper lowered his voice and approached Murong Shuangshuang, "There have been bandits in the mountains recently. It is said that they are very violent. They robbed several villages and killed many people. This time I watched

The people who seemed to be fleeing were actually survivors who had been harmed by bandits in the village, and they came here to seek a way out.
