Chapter 37 Apology at the door, Pan Yubao complains

Pan Yubao pouted and reluctantly went to open the door.

Li Zhuzhu led someone in, intending to talk to Su Yunnuan, but he was still a bit embarrassed about it. After all, Su Yunnuan was the daughter-in-law of the Pan family, and it was not like there were no men in the family. There was no way these men could find a little wife.

Talk about something.

At the moment of embarrassment, Su Yunnuan came out of the kitchen with medicine in her hand. She looked at Li Zhuzhu and the others and laughed: "Uncle Li is here. Yuhu is going to take medicine. Come in quickly."

Li Zhuzhu sighed in his heart, this Yun Niang is so smart!

Su Yunnuan entered Pan Yuhu's room with an awkward smile. Su Yunnuan handed the medicine bowl to Pan Yuhu and stood next to her.

"Jade Tiger, I felt sorry for you the first two times I went into the mountains. We agreed that we should take care of each other to survive, but when it came time to divide the prey, we didn't leave a separate portion. I blame me for thinking wrong. I thought about it and gave it to Qi.

Xuan will do the same to you." When Li Zhuzhu said this, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, but what could he do? He had to live no matter what, praying to Xuan if he didn't take everyone into the mountain, he would just watch helplessly

No one can bear to see so much meat in the mountains that there is not enough food to eat.

Pan Yuhu drank all the medicine in the bowl in one gulp, and placed the medicine bowl next to the kang: "Uncle Li, no one in our family goes into the mountains, so we should not go into the mountains, but there is a need to eat and drink, and we have to pray for it."

Brother, he gave it to us and we took it, but this is not what everyone thinks, what do you think?"

Su Yunnuan glanced at Pan Yuhu out of the corner of her eye, and said to her heart: OK, the young man is very good at speaking.

At this time, Li Zhuzi was even more embarrassed: "Yuhu, can you tell Qi Xuan that we will definitely give you a share when we go to the mountain again this time? We have more than a dozen families here, and we didn't bring Qi Xuan with us."

It’s not easy to live even if you’re blinded all over the place, so I’m going to apologize to you for coming here.”

Pan Yuhu tilted his head to look at Su Yunnuan.

Su Yunnuan pursed her lips.

Li Zhuzhu quickly said: "If Yun Niang hadn't mentioned this, everyone would have starved to death. I'm so brave. I will definitely not be so incompetent in the future. Look at everyone here."

Yes, everyone has the same thoughts as me."

"Yes, my mother beat and scolded me every day. I bow to Yun Niang for her kindness in treating my mother." Fan Lin said quickly.

Zhou Dabao also helped: "We were wrong at first. We were also afraid of being hungry. We just wanted to take back some more so that our family could eat a little fuller. We didn't have any bad intentions, really."

Everyone was apologizing, and Su Yunnuan cleared her throat: "Qi Xuan is busy these days. Let's go take a look tomorrow. If everything is safe, we can go into the mountain. What we passed before is gone. Go back to the mountain.

We don’t want everyone to share the prey with us, you can sell us what you can’t finish eating.”

When Li Zhuzhu heard this, he shook his head like a rattle: "That won't work, that absolutely won't work."

"Uncle Li, listen to me, we don't have much to eat. We have to do business. Besides, what I want is mainly wild boars. The prices of hares and pheasants are not high." Su Yunnan smiled: "I

To put things in perspective, I have said before that in addition to filling our bellies, we can also make some money."

Everyone was stunned.

Su Yunnuan still had a smile on her face and changed the topic: "However, in all these things, one learns from the experience and gains wisdom. You sell this prey to me, and I will sell it back and I will make a profit, but

This money is not earned from you. The prey collected from you is designated to be more expensive than the ones you sell out. We can also share it separately. No one needs to be embarrassed, and we don’t want the prey."

This is true.

Su Yunnuan initially thought that everyone would be together, that everyone would have enough to eat, and that everyone would make money, but in fact she knew that in the face of human nature, her thoughts were too naive. When people unite, the mountains will move.

But is it possible that people’s hearts are so unified?

This statement makes it very clear, everyone is trying to cut both sides of the problem, let alone take care of others.

Don’t agree? People like Li Zhuzhu know very well that if they don’t agree to Su Yunnuan’s conditions, it will be impossible for Qi Xuan to take them into the mountain. If they can’t enter the mountain, it will be in vain.

Fan Lin asked tentatively: "Then, if I want to go into the mountains, can my mother still come here?"

"Yes." Su Yunnuan looked at everyone: "After I collect the prey, I still need help. Those of your family who are quick at work can still earn some wages from me. As for the elderly and children,

If you live in a village, you should take care of it."

Just like that, Li Zhuzhu and others nodded in agreement.

After Su Yunnuan sent these people out, she asked Pan Yubao to ask Qi Xuan if he could take the villagers into the mountains for hunting again. In fact, he knew that Qi Xuan would agree, but it was polite to ask. After all, Qi Xuan was not his own person.

Where can I be left to my own devices?

It was just a small disturbance, Qi Xuan took the villagers into the mountains to hunt as before.

Su Yunnuan was not too polite. After all the men went hunting, they gathered the women and children at home. The older ones who were in poor health and the younger ones who couldn't be used jumped out. The rest of them, Su Yunnuan,

Yun Nuan has taken advantage of it.

Meals are provided at noon for ten copper coins a day, and there is no need to do anything else, including grinding medicinal materials.

Pan Yushuang classified the medicinal materials. Everyone had a wooden sign with the name of the medicinal material written on it. The ground medicinal powder was placed on the wooden sign and sent to Su Yunnuan's house. Su Yunnuan prepared the medicine according to the prescription.

Sitting in the room, she could hear them chatting, and Su Yunnuan was happy to understand the current environment in this way.

"I heard that young men are being arrested again." The middle-aged woman sighed: "If we have to arrest some more people, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive."

Su Yunnuan raised her head and glanced at the speaker. He was a man with gray hair and a sad look on his face. He was sighing and talking. The people next to him were all similar. Everyone was helpless and helpless.

Zhou Dabao's daughter-in-law smoothed the medicinal materials in her hands and put them in the rolling boat: "What should we do to catch young men in spring? If we don't cultivate the land, we will starve to death."

Another person picked up the conversation and said, "Farming? Where can we find grain seeds?"

There was another sigh.

At the end of the day, Su Yunnuan didn't hear a single piece of good news, but she heard a lot of bad news.

In the evening, Qi Xuan came back with the hunters. Four strong men carried a wild boar. They had to carry it down in shifts along the way. There were also many small prey. Li Zhuzhu had already discussed it with the big guys.

, the wild boar was sold to Su Yunnuan.

Su Yunnuan looked at the wild boar, which weighed almost three hundred kilograms, and thought about the price in her mind. After removing its head and hooves, it would still have two hundred kilograms of meat. Wild boar is cheap meat, so the price is not high. It can be sold for five taels of silver at most.

Up and down, if you get only 200 kilograms of meat into your hands, that's a lot of money, so you have to think carefully about how to price it for these people.

When the hunting people came back, they dispersed the anxious mood of the people in the yard, and everyone gathered around happily.

Su Yunnuan walked up to Qi Xuan and asked, "How much can this pig sell for in Yonggu County?"

"Pork costs ten cents a pound, and no one wants it even twenty cents. This is still the selling price of a piece of pork. It will be cheaper if you pay more." Qi Xuan did not lower his voice, and everyone listened at a normal volume.

get.

Su Yunnuan calculated in her mind, even if all three hundred kilograms cost ten cents, it would only be three taels of silver!

Just when Li Zhuzhu and others were about to speak, Su Yunnuan spoke first: "I'll pay five liang per head, and the price will be a little lower than this."

"Sister-in-law!" Pan Yubao stomped over and pointed at the wild boar: "Five taels of silver? Give it to me and I'll catch it!"
