LIGHTNOVELWORLD The happy little days of the Ye family
Chapter 90 Autumn Hunting
Ever since Ye's father came to Dashan Village to collect mountain products, the villagers who had made money were out of control. They went to the mountains to pick mushrooms, dig bamboo shoots and pick honeysuckle before dawn.
Collecting mountain goods is not as dangerous as hunting. Old people and children in the village can pick it. Every household in the village goes to the mountain to collect goods.
You can't make bacon in the summer, and the prey hunted in the mountains cannot be kept for a long time in hot weather, and it is too far to send it to the town or county. The hunters in the village have to rest for a while and join the team of collecting mountain products.
One summer, the villagers in Dashan Village made their wallets bulge by picking mountain products. Yang Dawa, who collected honeysuckle in the village, even made a lot of money.
There are not as many mushrooms and bamboo shoots in summer as there are in spring, but Ye’s father also collected a lot of dried bamboo shoots and dried mushrooms during this period, planning to sell them to merchants in the north before winter and make a lot of money.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gets cooler, and the mushrooms and honeysuckle on the mountains are gone. Hunters who have rested for a long time are thinking about going into the mountains to hunt.
As for the autumn harvest, Dashan Village is surrounded by mountains, and there is not much arable land in the mountains. The autumn harvest in Dashan Village is over in a few days.
The autumn harvest is still in full swing in Peach Blossom Village, and the food in Dashan Village has been put into the cellar and plans for autumn hunting have begun.
Autumn is the time when wild animals are at their most plentiful, and throughout the summer and early autumn, hunters in mountain villages are resting, and there are a lot of wild animals in the surrounding mountains.
This autumn hunting was spontaneously organized by the villagers, which was different from the last one organized by the village.
Orion Li took a dozen skilled and experienced hunters into the mountains to hunt.
Yang Guo, the son of the village chief, led a group of young men with average skills to hunt pheasants and rabbits in the nearby mountains.
The first place the hunting team headed by Li Lihu went to was Yeboar Ridge.
The group of people are all experienced hunters, and they have a good understanding of each other. On that day, 13 large wild boars were shot, one for each person, and they were carried back to the village with great pride.
Compared with Li Orion's fruitful return, Yang Guo's group's harvest was far from satisfactory.
Yang Guo and his party wandered around the nearby mountains for a day and only shot a few pheasants and a dozen wild rabbits, but not even a large wild boar owned by the enemy.
A group of young boys who knew nothing about the world were laughed at by the villagers for a long time.
That night, 13 large wild boars were divided into pieces of about a pound of meat, and then marinated. After marinating for a few days, the meat can be dried and cured.
The hunters who returned home with a full load only rested for one day, and then went hunting deep in another mountain.
The group went into the mountains for several days before returning to the village in embarrassment with the prey.
The harvest this time was also good. We shot 5 wild boars and two wild goats. We also found a few good-year Polygonum multiflorum trees and a ten-year-old ginseng tree.
The wild boars were all made into bacon. After brewing Polygonum multiflorum and small ginseng, Li Orion planned to take it to the county pharmacy and sell it. After the bacon and medicinal materials were sold, the money would be divided equally.
Orion Li was very skilled and he was the main force in both hunts. The other hunters decided to give the two wild goats to Orion Li.
Orion Li did not refuse hypocritically. This was what he deserved. After all, if he went hunting by himself, he would not only save worry, but also gain more.
The two wild goats were still alive. Orion Li kept the two goats at home and planned to sell them together when he went to the county to sell medicinal materials.
After brewing the ginseng and polygonum multiflorum, Li Orion immediately took it to a drug store in the county and sold it.
The ginseng was of a young age and the brewing technique was not good, so it only sold for 18 taels of silver.
There were a total of 6 Polygonum multiflorum trees found in the mountains this time, and they were more than 20 years old. The six Polygonum multiflorum trees were sold for a total of 1 tael and 8 yuan of silver.
Orion Li carefully hid the money on his body, and then walked out of the pharmacy pretending to be nonchalant.
The two wild goats assigned to Orion Li were sold to a restaurant he knew.
He had a lot of money with him, and Orion Li didn't dare to keep any more, so he immediately went back with his brothers' money.
After the more than 20-day autumn harvest in Taohua Village ended, the first batch of bacon in Dashan Village was finally ready.
The hunters had 1300 kilograms of cured pork in their hands, and the villagers also shot a lot of pheasants and rabbits in the nearby mountains. The combined total of cured chickens and rabbits was estimated to weigh several hundred kilograms.
Father Ye would come to Dashan Village to sell goods every few days. For the bacon in Dashan Village, Father Ye had prepared money early.
When Father Ye and Mr. Ye came to Dashan Village to collect bacon, Orion Li just came back from cutting two beehives from the mountain.
The father and son collected 500 kilograms of cured pork, 100 kilograms of cured chickens and [-] kilograms of cured rabbits each from Dashan Village. They also collected the two honeycombs that Orion Li had cut from the mountain.
The Ye family and his son took away 700 kilograms of bacon from Dashan Village. It won't take long for all the remaining bacon to be sold. The hunters in the village have already discussed going into the mountains to hunt for the second time.
Spring is the breeding season for animals, and hunters tacitly avoid hunting in spring. In summer, the weather is too hot and it is difficult to preserve prey. The best hunting time is in autumn and winter.
The weather is cold in winter, not to mention suffering, and the prey is relatively thin. Hunters in mountain villages like to hunt as many prey as possible in autumn. After the winter solstice, they can stay at home to catch the winter.
It took Ye's father two days to sell all the 700 kilograms of bacon on the dock, and he earned a total of 700 taels of silver from the 4 kilograms of bacon.
While selling bacon, Ye's father also found a businessman from the north and ordered all the bamboo shoots and dried mushrooms at home at a high price.
Winter is about to begin in the north. After winter in the north, heavy snow falls and vegetables become a rare commodity.
Ye Fuding took out 500 kilograms of dried mushrooms, 1000 kilograms of dried bamboo shoots and 400 kilograms of dried vegetables.
Most of the dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots are collected in Dashan Village, a small part is picked in Xiaohoushan, and the dried vegetables are collected in the village.
Every household in the village has a vegetable garden. Various vegetables are grown in the vegetable garden, and the endless vegetables are used to dry them.
Ye's father had already spread the word that he wanted to collect dried vegetables. The women in the village were very happy. It was really difficult to make money in the village. They used the vegetables that the family could not eat to make dried vegetables in exchange for money. Such a shrewd woman Of course people will not let it go.
One kilogram of dried vegetables requires five kilograms of fresh vegetables, and fresh vegetables cost one penny per kilogram in the town. When Ye's father collected dried vegetables in the village, he paid six kilograms per kilogram.
Ye's father borrowed a donkey cart from his in-law's family. Ye's father and Mr. Ye each drove a donkey cart to deliver the family's dry goods to the county dock.
There is less dry goods at this time, and the price is higher than in spring. Dried mushrooms cost 24 cents per catty, dried bamboo shoots cost 13 cents per catty, and dried vegetables cost 8 cents per catty.
This time, Father Ye and Mr. Ye made a total of 13 taels of silver.
