Two days of traveling meant that there were only two days of real hunting.
But the harvest is quite reasonable.
About forty people hunted a total of six wild sheep, eight wild boars, and about twenty pheasants, hares and other small things.
Everyone planned to hand over the wild sheep and wild boars, and the twenty or so pheasants and hares were divided among the hunting parties.
Lin Mo, Hu Ling, Zhou Hansheng and others didn't want it, so they just gave one to the other participants and their families.
Everyone was very happy. They took the prey, said goodbye to Lin Mo and others, and went home happily.
As long as you pay a little attention, you can see that the villagers' attitude towards Zhou Hansheng is more respectful and respectful than that towards Lin Mo and Hu Ling. In addition, they are also much more polite to Hu Ling.
During the hunt, the skills displayed by Zhou Hansheng not only shocked the villagers, but also filled them with awe and admiration.
Zhou Hansheng was a friend of the Zhao family. He spoke highly of Zhao Xiang and was very close to Hu Ling. Naturally, the villagers looked at the Zhao family more highly.
The Zhao family has such a powerful friend, who can not be afraid of him? Besides, if you need help with anything in the future, you can still ask the Zhao family.
If you offend someone, don’t even think about it!
Hu led them back smoothly, and the Zhao family was very happy. It didn't matter that they didn't get any prey. They killed two ducks and stewed them that night, and everyone celebrated well.
Zhou Hansheng took a moment and said to Zhao Liya: "Actually, if you hunt seriously, you can get more than three times more prey than this, but I think your village can't turn in too many prey, otherwise it may be difficult to do business next time, so I won't
No matter how you use it, you can hunt so many casually."
So, don’t underestimate his ability! If he exerts his best, he will gain much more than this!
Zhao Liya originally had this idea, but Zhou Hansheng's words touched her heart. She nodded and smiled gratefully: "Brother Zhou is thoughtful, and that's exactly what it should be! We are all ordinary villagers in our village, and we can hunt so many prey this time.
It’s all good luck!”
Tomorrow, Lin Mo and the others will go to deliver prey to the county government. They will have to complain about their difficulties and emphasize their good luck this time.
Zhou Hansheng smiled and nodded, and said: "When I come back in the twelfth lunar month, let's go hunting in the mountains again."
This way you don’t have to hide your weakness and strive for a bumper harvest.
Zhao Liya nodded with joy: "Okay, okay, we are waiting for Brother Zhou!"
"Well," Zhou Hansheng also nodded and said, "I have to go to Zhong Jing's place tomorrow. It will take a while before I can get here."
Zhao Liya was stunned and blurted out: "So fast!"
When she came back to her senses, her words seemed a bit too ambiguous, and she quickly added: "Well, I mean, Brother Zhou helped us with this hunting. Our village has been such a big help, but we haven't thanked Brother Zhou properly yet."
Zhou Hansheng smiled: "Then next time."
"oh"
Feeling a little depressed for no reason, Zhao Liya didn't know what to say.
Zhou Hansheng was also a little reluctant to leave. He was silent for a moment and said, "What do you want? You can bring it when I come over. You want flour, right? What else?"
Zhao Liya couldn't help but laugh, Zhanyan nodded: "If it's convenient, Brother Zhou can bring us some flour. There's nothing else. By the way, if you have good dried seafood, bring some too, such as
Brother Zhou, please buy abalone, shrimp, scallops, etc. for us, and I will give Brother Zhou some money."
Zhou Hansheng said with a smile: "These things are very cheap to buy from the fisherman's house and are not worth much. I will just stay at your house for a few days and eat a few good meals. You don't have to pay any money. I will bring them for you."
"
Zhao Liya thought for a while and realized that she would have sugar at home, both white sugar and brown sugar, so she would just give him some more, so she stopped insisting and thanked him happily with a smile.
The next morning, after Zhou Hansheng and his entourage left the village, Lin Mo, Zhao Xiang, Uncle Lin and other five people gathered together to hold the first village principal meeting and discussed the matter of delivering prey to the county government.
Lin Mo led the team, bringing seven or eight people with him, and sent the game away in two ox carts.
Zhao Liya caught a chicken and put twenty eggs in a bamboo basket. In the small basket were fresh spinach, chrysanthemum, garlic sprouts, white radish, and chestnuts, and asked Lin Mo and the others to deliver them to Yu Gongcao's wife.
Yu Gongcao's wife loves these things, and she will be happy for a long time even if she is given a piece of garlic for free.
Since she never instigated Yu Gongcao and the people of Yancun to ask for this or that, Zhao Liya felt that it was very worthwhile to occasionally give her some local specialties from the fields and vegetable gardens.
Sure enough, Yu Gongcao's wife was very happy, smiling from ear to ear, and kept saying that they were so polite, why did they send so many dishes? They couldn't finish them for several days.
Yu Gongcao was also very happy and gave them a few nice words. The matter was finally settled smoothly. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, I can wait for a good year in peace and quiet.
Two days later it was an auspicious day to start work, and the sugar pressing workshop started work on this day.
Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, Zhao Xiang, Qu Yutao, Luo Shuyan, Lin Mo, Yu Xiaofang, etc. all passed by. Even Widow Qu and Aunt Li Shiyi took Deng and the two children and mingled among the villagers of Zaihu Village to follow them.
lively.
The whole village in Zaihu Village was really more lively than the Chinese New Year!
The excitement is mixed with nervousness, the nervousness is mixed with hope, and the hope is mixed with a bit of cautious anxiety.
All in all, everyone has been hoping for this moment, but they are afraid that it will not happen! No, no, it will definitely happen. Mr. Zhao is the number one scholar and has been a high official. How could he not be able to do what he does?
?Oh, if this can be done, then you won’t have to worry about not having any work to do, and you won’t have to worry about getting rich along the way. Besides, first come first, first come first, this candy is made, and everyone can always buy some cheaply to try it.
Taste it
Such a good thing! It must come true!
Bodhisattva bless, God bless, ancestors bless.
Everyone in Zaihu Village was so excited that they talked incoherently, worrying about gains and losses, laughing and sighing at times. Even the children who usually love to be lively and playful were affected by the atmosphere of the adults. In such a lively scene, there were not many people there.
Dare to laugh and make a fuss.
Bundles of sugar cane were chopped over and sent from the fields to the sugar pressing workshop. Next to the sugar press made of a simple combination of stone and wood, five sugar canes were sent into the middle of the stone roller in a bundle, and the buffaloes were driven around in circles.
The stone roller is driven to crush, and the turbid sugarcane juice seeps out like a trickle, gathers in the groove, and flows into the wooden barrel below.
