Since giving Niti bow and arrow, this guy has gone up the mountain to hunt. It's not a pheasant or hare, or a roe deer. Qi Xuan also benefited, **** has fresh meat to eat.
The weather is hot now, and the meat will last two days at most. Qi Xuan **** exercises consume a lot of energy, so he just let go of it.
On this day, Nity and Nie went up the mountain to hunt a wild boar weighing more than two hundred catties. The two were divided into half, and the other half was divided between the village chief and the villagers.
Niti gave Qi Xuan a pig hind leg. Seeing his refusal, Niti said: "If it weren't for the bow and arrow you gave, I wouldn't go up the mountain with Nig to hunt." The fastest time to familiarize yourself with using this set of bows and arrows.
Qi Xuan said, "When the grain in the ground is harvested, I want to follow you up the mountain." Autumn is the peak season for hunting. It's hot now, and many men don't go up the mountain.
Niti nodded and agreed.
The crops in the field grow well because they are carefully served. Qixuan lifted his hoe to dig and looked at the many sweet potatoes on a vine, and was overjoyed.
It took three days to collect all the food in the field. Then, the second round of cultivation began.
After a tiring day, Qixuan washed and lay down on the bed to sleep. But Aunt Dou was very interested: "When we have a good harvest, they must ask us for seeds." The day after buying the seeds from the valley, Aunt Dou planted them on the slope behind the house. Almost half survived, and now the seedlings are growing well.
Qixuan heard this and said, "I want to eat dumplings and rice." There are also white rice and white noodles sold in the town, but the price is ridiculously expensive. The refined rice in Beijing also only needs more than ten wen per catty, and ordinary rice here needs more than twenty wen per catty.
The main reason is that this area is full of mountains and there is no fertile land. The people here used to eat corn, sorghum, millet and beans as their staple food. Later, yam and sweet potato came over, and these two types of food have become common people's food.
As for Baogu, there is no large-scale planting, so some people still wait and see.
Aunt Dou said softly: "After you go back, you can eat as much as you want." Now, don't think about it.
Fang Qixuan continued to think about this question. Aunt Dou said, “I used the golden Buddha last time, but now there are only gold necklaces left. There is no income. When the gold necklaces are used up, we will have no money to buy salt in the future. Up."
"It's fine to get through this year."
Aunt Dou heard the meaning of this sentence: "If the queen mother wants you to stay here for three to five years, what should we do? We are lucky this time, and Niti will give us meat. Otherwise, we will be hungry. Now, how can we survive now. But prince, we can't always rely on others to help."
She didn't think that the Queen Mother would spend a lot of time to send Qixuan here, and he would return to Beijing within a year. Therefore, some things are still planned.
Qi Xuan was silent, and said: "You are right, we are planning to get up early. This golden necklace must be used on the blade."
Aunt Dou had already thought about it a long time ago: "For things like mushrooms and fungus on the mountain, I will dry them and sell them at that time. How can I make up for household use."
Qi Xuan shook his head and said, "The people at the grocery store know that we are from Dashan, and they won't bring them back to the mountain, so they will keep the price low." Selling Shanzhen is hard and hard to sell. He felt that it was better to keep these things for yourself.
Aunt Dou felt that Qi Xuan made sense.
Qi Xuan said, "Don't worry, I will ask Niti tomorrow to see what the villagers rely on to make money?"
The villagers in Ajia Village are self-sufficient except for the few things they need to buy, such as salt and iron pots. The food you eat is grown by yourself or obtained from the mountains; for wearing, he grows hemp cloth, and then grows cotton to make cotton-padded clothes and trousers; and uses pots, pans, wardrobes and so on. There are very few places where money is needed.
Knowing the specific situation, Qixuan knew that it would be difficult to make money here.
After pondering for a long time, Qi Xuan and Aunt Dou said: "When I go to town next time, I will use your gold necklace as a substitute and buy brushes and paint. I will paint by then and sell it in the county."
Aunt Dou immediately poured cold water: "What if I can't sell it?" Qi Xuan's painting skills are good, but whether it can sell for money is unknown.
Qi Xuan said with confidence: "Don't worry, you can definitely sell it for money." When he was driven out of the capital that year, he saw Pang Jinglun's painting for hundreds of taels of silver on the road, which greatly shocked Qixuan.
In recent years, he has not only traveled and written, but also spent a lot of energy on painting. However, Qixuan has always regarded it as a skill to make money, so everyone who saw it felt that his paintings were too crafty. In layman's terms, it is too tacky.
It was the first time Aunt Dou saw Qi Xuan's self-confidence, she hesitated and said, "You allow me to think about it."
At night, after Qixuan was asleep, Aunt Dou went out. After arriving at the house, she meowed three times. Seeing nothing happened, I meowed twice again, three times each time.
This was agreed upon by the two of them. To meet something difficult to decide between, they would even meow three times three times each time.
Gu Jiu appeared: "What's the matter?"
Aunt Dou explained that Qixuan wanted to make a painting and sell it for money: "He told me that he used to sell a painting for sixty taels of silver." Qixuan's name is Ziling, named Qixiangjushi.
This number was obtained by Yuxi. Many people have never met anyone, and just look at this name and think they are a woman. Therefore, many people reject him. Qixuan was very resentful about this. It's a pity that there is no way, but Yuxi did not dare to use it.
Without signing his real name, he sold the painting for sixty taels of silver just under a name unknown to outsiders. This shows that his paintings are indeed very good.
Gu Jiu nodded and said, "Yes."
Aunt Dou hesitated and said: "In case this silver is sloppy, there will be no supplies for the winter by then." All their cotton-padded clothes and trousers were snatched away. In addition, two thick quilts must be purchased. These can all be money.
Gu Jiu never thought of giving money to the two of them, otherwise he would not take away the money and jewelry from them: "cotton clothes and trousers, you can go back. The quilt, you let him find a way. If this If you don’t have the money to buy it, you will chop up more firewood when it's cold."
Aunt Dou almost vomited a mouthful of blood, the earth embryo house was about to burn, and she didn't even burn the house: "The prince already knew it was wrong, why should you torture him like this?"
Gu Jiu looked at Aunt Dou, as if looking at a dead person. If Yuxi had not told him to bring Aunt Dou back to the police car to you intact, he would definitely end the dragging Aunt Dou.
"It's not your turn to teach me how to do it. You do your job well, and you don't care about the other things." So, women are soft-hearted. I disliked King Xuan before, and felt distressed after only a few months.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Jiu felt that the Queen Mother was a hard-hearted person. At least, he was willing to throw King Xuan to this kind of place for experience.
Aunt Dou was so frightened that she froze, she didn't even know when Gu Jiu left.
It's too hot in August. Even in this big mountain, it is just as hot and sweaty. But Qi Xuan didn't back down this time, getting up and tying sandbags to practice exercises every day before dawn. After practicing the exercises, people will be as if they were fished out of the water.
Carrying water and rushing from head to toe, don't mention how cool it is.
Change your clothes, just in time for dinner. Seeing breakfast served with sweet potatoes and cold wild vegetables, Qixuan said, "I'll go to the mountain to see it later." It consumes too much practice every day, and I quickly become hungry after eating this. You have to eat meat to keep you hungry.
He set up several traps on the mountain, hoping that prey would fall into the traps.
Aunt Dou said, "The weather will get colder in mid-September, and you can go hunting in the mountains at that time."
In the past, Qixuan only ate roasted sweet potatoes with the peeled skin. Now, in order not to waste the meat, he eats it.
After eating cold wild vegetables, Qi Xuan said suddenly: “I used to have braised pork at home. Dad and sister like to eat it.”
Aunt Dou said without thinking, "When we hunt for wild animals next time, we will cook it in braised sauce."
Qi Xuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm just..." I just missed home, especially homesick.
In the past, I could see Yun Qing and Yuxi if I wanted to see them in the capital, but he wouldn't see if he didn't. But now I want to see, but I can't see it anymore.
These words evoked Aunt Dou's melancholy: "I also want to, I want to miss Yikang." I often think about it, and I can't sleep at night.
While talking, Aunt Dou's tears fell.
Qi Xuan blamed himself, and blamed him for being owed. If you didn't say this, Aunt Dou wouldn't cry.
Aunt Dou wiped her tears and said, "If you change it, we will be able to return to the capital."
After having breakfast, Qixuan first went to Niti's house, and then went to the mountain with Niti to see the traps set up.
He was unconscious after taking the water last time, and went back to the village to tell the village chief about it. But that person refused to admit it and even said that Qi Xuan was slanderous. Because there is no evidence, this matter will not be resolved in the end. However, since then, Qixuan has not dared to leave the village alone.
Seeing a hare in the trap, Qixuan was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, which meant that he had eaten meat again today.
Niti glanced at Qixuan, he was there when the trap was arranged. The layout of Qixuan's trap is different from what he taught. He disagreed at the time, but Qixuan insisted, saying that his elder sister taught him. Unexpectedly, there was a wild animal on the hook.
Unable to hold back in the end, Ni asked: "What the hell does your elder sister do? Really not a hunter?"
Qi Xuan snorted: "What is a hunter? My eldest sister is a big..." I wanted to say that the first female marshal of the Ming Dynasty, but when I said this, my identity would be exposed.
When it came to his lips, Qi Xuan stiffly changed his words: "My eldest sister is very powerful, but my elder brother is the most powerful."
"Why?"
Qi Xuan smiled and said, "My elder brother has a great brain, and my elder sister has to listen to him in everything."
Gu Jiu pouted secretly. Who would dare not listen to the emperor in the world
ps: The second one is around 9:30.
