Chapter 7: Anning County

I rushed home before noon. Xue was not idle. First, he stuffed a pot of fragrant white rice. Before it was cooked, he had already surrounded the kitchen. With the fish made in the morning, it is really swept away.

In the afternoon, Zhou Jinsheng and Zhou Dahu were commanded to be responsible for bloody work such as peeling the roe deer rabbit and pheasant, and the internal organs could not be thrown away. They picked some for the leopard, and the rest were kept. The seasonings bought in today's collection came in handy.

Big bone sticks are used to make white soup every day, which is a new task taught by Xuejian to Du's mother. The soup is flavored, nutritious and fragrant.

Roe skin can make mattresses for children, and the child-free skin can make rabbit fur gloves for Zhou Bo. Even the pheasant's hair can be found a few suitable, ready to make shuttlecocks at the beginning of spring.

Xue Jian was busy asking Zhou Bo for credit. Er Niang Si Niang was busy sorting out the few things she bought. Anyway, everyone was busy and happy.

Before dinner, Xuejian asked Zhou's mother to help chop the rabbit bones into small pieces, then put water, ginger, salt and oil in the pot, and then add rabbit meat and pork to boil. Du Ma has consciously put a little oil in another pot, add red peppers and Sichuan peppers to fry until fragrant, add chopped green onions and ginger slices, then add a little noodle sauce and cooking wine, add rabbit meat and pork and stir-fry until they turn white.

It's a pity that there are no potatoes at this time.

Watching Du's mother put in water and boil it over high heat, and then stew it on low heat until the meat is rotten (the time is determined by the rabbit's tenderness). Xue Jian told her to add salt to collect the juice when it is almost ripe and take it out of the pot. The meat smelled, and the children's laughter came from outside the kitchen.

I haven't had enough food for a long time, and the dinner was so rich that the family was satisfied. Because there are few people, and the servants of the two families have been dependent on each other for the past six months, and they are not much different from their own families. Therefore, Zhou Bo and Sanlang Liulang have a table, and the others open a table for the first time. Xuejian and Zhou Mancang Duhai also opened a table on the side, which is also convenient for the young master to eat.

In the past two days, the snow has been getting bigger and bigger, and it has rarely stopped, but the family is very interested. Zhou Bo and Zhou Jinsheng and Zhou Dahu came out of the work on Tuesday to collect firewood by the way. Firewood is an indispensable thing in this cold season. Sometimes, they also take a few young masters and young ladies out to "leave the wind". Anyway, "six-seat luxury ice bed" There has never been a seat available.

Every day, I came back to freeze most of the fish in the snowdrift, and the rest were carefully cooked by the snow. Every day, the whole family changed different ways to do it. From top to bottom, from master to servant, finally finished the dishes, and a long-lost smile also showed on their faces.

During this period, Zhou Bo officially set the rules for his family. In the morning, Sanlang taught his younger brothers and sisters and Tuesday Tiger Wednesday Nidu Qianer's homework, and in the afternoon, Er Niang taught Si Niang, Wu Niang and Qianer Sanni needle and thread.

Of course, Wu Niang Liulang and Zhou Hu sometimes think of various excuses to go out to catch fish. Wu Niang Liulang is smart. Hearing Sanlang say that they learn things faster than others, Zhou Bo also opened one eye and closed his eyes. He only set the time to go out of the ice bed to go out in the morning. If there is the same Zhou Jin If you want to hunt together, just put them under Daqing Mountain, collect the net in the afternoon and bring them back.

Because of the lush green mountain forest, which is different from the hunting team of seven or eight people or more than a dozen people in the village, Zhou Bo strictly prohibits everyone from going deep into the dense forest.

The land of Pingshan Village is all in the west of the village, and the hunting teams in the village also go from the west of the village to Daqing Mountain. Now the Zhou family goes from the Daqing River in the north to the other side of Daqing Mountain, so they have never met villagers.

Anyway, Zhou Jinsheng still has the meaning of being a hunter. Others are just playing. Safety is the first, and the game is the second. As for the prey, it is not important because of the fixed and safe ice net fish.

Finally, it came to Jiri. Because there were many fish, Zhou Bo directly divided the fish into two parts, one of which was sold by the tiger in Mazhuang on Tuesday, and the other part was taken by Du Hai to Anning County to see if he could find a good business opportunity.

Xue saw that she also wanted to go to the town. She said that there were still a lot of seasonings and so on. What Ma Zhuang didn't have could be supplemented. As soon as Er Niang heard it, she also wanted to go with her.

Wuniang Liulang has always loved to join in the fun. The two of them followed Zhou Hu, which was really reassuring. Therefore, Si Niang replaced the pouting Wu Niang and promised to bring her a small gift.

The group finally got on the road.

First, put Si Niang and the three of them at the entrance of Mazhuang Village, and then discuss the time. Xue saw them and drove to Anning County.

The ice bed was temporarily stored at the gate of the city, and three people entered the county.

Anning County is not big, and its folk customs are simple and not very prosperous, but as the New Year is approaching, it is still a little lively. What's more, the large households in nearby villages are also buying New Year's goods here, so the market is bustling, with all kinds of shouts and bargaining.

Because Anning County is small, it does not have a large-scale fishing market. After thinking about it, Xue is not in a hurry to find a place to stall. He doesn't understand the system here at this time. Who knows if there will be an ancient version of the "City Management Department"?

There is no imaginary rule that women can't go out. After all, it is not a big place, and there is much less attention. Er Niang also went shopping without a gauze hat for the first time. She was shy and curious.

Du Hai silently followed the two little girls in bright colors, ignoring the surprised and amazing eyes of passers-by.

Walking around, the two little girls were tired and fell in like something, just waiting for the silver.

The three of them found a teahouse to sit down. Du Hai only modestly gave in and sat down.

Er Niang hugged the hot tea and said, "Xuejian, why didn't I see a fish seller?"

Xue Jian nodded: "Yes, it's so strange. Didn't you say that there is a fishing city in the county?"

Du Hai coughed softly and said, "Second lady, Anning County is small, and there is no fishing market. In fact, fish sellers are fishing, but there is no fresh fish now, so most fishing banks can only sell salted fish, which is a good opportunity for us!"

Xue's eyes lit up and never noticed that this silent Du Hai had such a business acumen. She couldn't help nodding: "Yes, let's deliver goods to the fishing industry. Although we may make less money, it saves a lot of trouble!"

Du Hai said, "That's exactly what the villain means. Just now, the villain has paid attention to several fishing companies. Now let's go for a walk."

Xue Jian finally said, "It's best to sell two."

Du Hai paused and thought for a moment before leaving with a smile.

The Zhou family was originally a big businessman, and Du Hai used to be alone. How could he not do such a small thing?
