Chapter 234 New Year’s Eve Gathering
This morning.
Xu Dahai brought the dogs back from hunting in the mountains and handed two wild rabbits to Wang Xiuxiu.
"Look, these two rabbits are so fat! Let's stew them for lunch. We haven't eaten rabbit meat for more than ten days."
"Okay, there was too much salt last time. Let's put less salt this time."
Wang Xiuxiu took over the hare and was also very happy.
It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that I'm hunting wild rabbits. It's like picking up money for free, so I'm naturally happy.
But Xu Dahai knows that hunting is like doing business.
You need to invest money, buy raw pork to feed the dog, invest time and energy, and train the dog.
In this way, the dog can grow strong and become an excellent hunting dog, and can get twice the result with half the effort when hunting.
If you catch less prey, you may lose money.
If you are reluctant to feed your dog and neglect training, it will be very difficult for your dog to become an excellent hunting dog.
After having breakfast.
Xu Dahai went to his mother's yard and taught Xu Juan and Huang Ying a few arithmetic questions.
After holding the books and asking them to memorize ancient Chinese poems and classical Chinese essays, he gave them a blood injection... no, it was a compliment. After a few words of encouragement, they left.
I ate delicious stewed rabbit meat at noon, had a good sleep in the afternoon, and watched TV with Wang Xiuxiu and Xiao Tingzi in the evening. A wonderful day passed.
The night wind gusts.
It was very warm inside.
Wang Xiuxiu took the big orange cat lying on her lap aside and started to spread the mattress and quilt:
"My legs are warm when the big orange cat is lying on it... It's getting late. Tomorrow is the country fair. Shall we go to the market to play?"
"Okay, it's Chinese New Year. There will definitely be a lot of good stuff on the collection."
Early the next morning, the family of three had a leisurely breakfast, packed up quickly, and rode to the market on [-] big poles.
I met many villagers along the way.
Some villagers cannot ride bicycles, or do not have bicycles at home, so they can only choose to walk to the market.
It takes a long, long walk to get there with a basket on your arm or a basket on your back and pushing a wheelbarrow.
Saying hello, Xu Dahai and his family of three quickly drove away.
Looking at their leaving figures, many villagers said with envy:
"Having a car is convenient! No, no matter what, I have to save money to buy a car."
……
When Xu Dahai's family of three came to Jishang, there were already a lot of people on Jishang. They were crowded and very lively and festive.
Not only people from Daquan Township will come to the market.
From several nearby towns, many people with nothing to do will also come to Jishang to join in the fun. It is full of Chinese New Year flavor and is just for fun!
Go south first.
After reaching the southernmost point, they returned and walked north. Xu Dahai and Wang Xiuxiu had more and more things in their hands.
Frozen persimmons, round hard candies, melon seeds, sesame oil, apples, stupid chickens, eggs, goose, grates and forks, shovels, cloth, New Year pictures, matches, small stools, etc.
There are so many things, big and small, of all kinds.
There are some things that you can buy or not, such as a grate and a fork—the thing that is put into the pot to hold up the grate.
Just go to the mountains and saw a branch. Peel off the skin and peel it. A "V" shape can also be used.
However, the grate forks sold by others are much more beautiful. They are in the style of a small ladder, and the surface is rubbed with sandpaper. They cost 2 cents each, or two for 3 cents. Many people still buy them.
"Hey! Is there anyone selling ice cream in the cold weather? And Huang Gu's ice cream?"
Huanggu Ice Cream was just started to be produced this year, and it comes from Liao Province. Xu Dahai felt a little novel about seeing this kind of ice cream in Daquan Township.
He wanted to buy one and taste it, but Wang Xiuxiu quickly pulled him forward:
"What kind of ice cream should I eat in the winter? I'll feel sick after eating it!"
"I'll buy one for Xiao Tingzi to try."
"Xiao Tingzi gets upset after eating it, so I won't buy it!"
……
Putting the purchased items back to the place where the bicycles were parked, the three of them continued shopping on the market. Soon they bought a lot more things and returned to the place where the bicycles were stored.
"What else haven't you bought?"
"firecracker!"
"Then hurry up and buy it. Let's go home after buying it."
Wang Xiuxiu and Xiao Tingzi were both tired from walking, so they waited at the place where the car was stored. Xu Dahai squeezed through the crowd and walked outside the firecracker market.
The firecracker seller was in an independent open space, with many oxcarts, tractors, etc. parked. It was far away from the crowds on the market, probably because it was afraid that an accidental explosion would affect too many people.
Xu Dahai left Daji and walked down a steep slope.
The snow on the slope has been compacted by the children, and the surface has melted. It may be that it is often slippery here, but it can be slippery.
Xu Dahai slipped and walked downhill. When he was about to go down the steep slope, his foot slipped and he sat directly on the ground.
"Damn it! I'm about to finish walking and I fall down??"
Not far away, a dry old man was setting up a stall. When he saw this scene, he grinned.
Xu Dahai patted his butt and glanced at him. The dry old man didn't dare to laugh for a moment.
Looking at Xu Dahai's tall and thick appearance, the old man might be afraid of being beaten.
"Huh? Master, what are you selling? Beef? No, it's bear meat!"
"Young man, you know your stuff. This is Heixiazizi meat. It's delicious. Do you want to buy some? It's the Chinese New Year, so buy some."
The dry old man was shivering due to the cold wind, and his eyes looked at Xu Dahai with hope.
"How to sell it?"
"1 yuan per pound! Cheaper than pork."
Xu Dahai immediately understood why the old man's bear meat could not be sold.
Stupid pork is now [-] pounds per dollar. Although it is [-] cents more expensive, it is rich in fat and delicious. Bear meat is not dominant.
Moreover, most families will kill the New Year pig. As the New Year approaches, they will not buy meat. The pig at home is enough to eat.
"Old man, why are you setting up a stall here?"
"Every position in the street is owned by someone, but hey, they won't let me take it, and they almost beat me." The old man said pitifully.
"Um? Okay, how many kilograms of bear meat are there in total? I bought them all."
"real!?"
"Are you kidding me?" Xu Dahai laughed instantly.
People's perceptions are different. Maybe most villagers think stupid pork is better, fatter and more fragrant.
But Xu Dahai still felt that he had gotten a big deal, because even if he sold the bear meat to Park Xiucheng, he could still make a lot of money.
The end of the year is approaching.
In the city, the business of restaurants is also very booming, and the price of top-quality ingredients such as bear meat is rising even more.
"It's 45 and a half kilograms in total. Let's count it as 45 kilograms. It's 1 yuan a kilogram..."
The old man directly wiped out the zero, but when it came to the price, he had trouble again. His arithmetic skills were really pitiful.
许大海说道:“把一块五拆开，45的一半是22块5，再加上45，一共67块5呗。”
Maybe it had something to do with his rebirth. He found that his brain was very good and he could do calculations verbally.
"Yeah, yes, yes, that's the number." The old man was instantly happy, and Xu Dahai also laughed.
