80s Peasant Girl

Near noon, Qin Xian returned home with a hare and most of the wild vegetables in the basket.

As soon as she entered the door, she yelled at Qin Wenjun and opened it.

"Brother, the trap we dug caught the prey."

When Qin Wenjun and others who were busy hearing this, they all turned to look at her.

At this moment, Qin Xian's face was blushing, and there was still sweat on his forehead.

"What did you catch?"

"Wild boar, it's so big."

She gestured with her hand, everyone was stunned, and then they all became happy.

These days, catching pheasants and hares is enough to make people envious, but catching wild boars is definitely a great joy.

A wild boar, at worst, is dozens of catties of meat. In this age when food is scarce and meat is extremely precious.

Dozens of catties of meat are more satisfying than hundreds of catties of grain.

"real?"

"Go, go, hurry up and get it back. If it runs away, it will be a big loss."

"Yes, we haven't seen anyone catch a wild boar in our village for many years."

Everyone was excited, and they didn't feel tired after a long morning's work at all.

"Uncles, if you don't go after dinner, you've all been busy all morning."

"Don't be in a hurry to eat, girl, take us there quickly, don't let the wild boar run away."

Seeing their eagerness, Qin Xian didn't say any more, and handed over the basket and hare to Wei Lan and Lin Xiaomei, and asked the eldest brother to prepare a rope.

Then he took a group of people up the mountain mightily.

As she led the people into the deep forest, the people who were still very excited did not become cautious.

"Xianxian, didn't I tell you not to go into the mountains? What are you doing?"

"Father, I didn't go too deep. Brother knows that he dug the trap with me yesterday."

Qin Guoyong immediately turned his head and glared at Qin Wenjun.

"Is it your idea?"

Qin Wenjun, who was dreaming of braised pork and hoof flower soup, was yelled at by his father, and subconsciously looked at Qin Xian.

Seeing Qin Xian's guilty look, he really couldn't bear to say that it was Qin Xian who insisted on going in.

He had no choice but to remain silent, which was regarded as acquiescing to Qin Guoyong's questioning.

"Go back and clean you up."

Qin Guoyong gave him a hard look.

Suddenly, the neighing of a wild boar was heard.

"Father, here we are, right there."

A group of people quickly came to the edge of the trap, and they all laughed when they saw the wild boar at the bottom of the trap digging the wall and trying to get out.

"Good guy, this must weigh seventy or eighty catties."

"It's quite energetic."

Everyone stood by the trap, commenting on the wild boar inside.

"Uncles, let's get it back and slaughter it quickly, and eat pig dishes in the afternoon."

"Yes, yes, hurry up."

There are so few middle-aged men, although this wild boar is brave, it can only drink hatred.

In just over ten minutes, the wild boar was tied up firmly.

It was carried down the mountain by Qin Wenjun and another man in his thirties.

This afternoon, Qin Xian's house was full of excitement. People in the village heard that Qin Xian's brothers and sisters had caught a wild boar in a trap, and they all ran over to watch the excitement.

Of course, more people still want to rub a little meat, and it’s okay to eat a few bites of butchered vegetables.

"Why don't you go and call Butcher Wang?"

Butchering pigs is a technical job, basically every village has such a butcher.

Usually, it is to kill pigs for the production team in the village, and occasionally someone who catches a larger prey will invite them over.

"No, I can kill this thing."

Lin Guozhang rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.

This wild boar is not big, it only weighs seventy or eighty catties. If the pig's water and bones are excluded, the pure meat is probably only fifty catties.

Qin Xian's family is building a house now, and they need such hard vegetables, so they ask the butcher to kill them. Most of the offal pigs belong to the butcher, at least they have to share a few catties of meat.

He can kill left and right, but it doesn't need to be troublesome, it can save a little for Qin Xian's family.

"Success, then Uncle Guozhang, you come and kill me."

It was another busy day, and Wei Lan and Lin Xiaomei knew from the sight of the battle that they might not be able to eat at noon with peace of mind.

He simply made a large bowl of noodles and two poached eggs for the person who helped build the house.

"Everyone will deal with it at noon, and I will make some hard dishes for everyone for dinner."

These people who came to help didn't care, and knew that the current situation was understandable.

After eating, they went to work on building the house. Only Lin Guozhang and his daughter, Qin Xian, and the villagers watching the excitement were left in the yard.

When it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, the wild boar had been divided, although a little slowly.

However, it is also slow work and meticulous work, and the various positions of a pig are well divided.

"Second sister-in-law, do you sell this meat at your house?"

Wei Lan, who was called over to clean up the pork, hadn't even had time to start when someone in the crowd yelled.

Wei Lan looked at the cut pork and silently made up his mind.

"The big guys have also seen it. There is not a lot of meat. My family is building a house now and needs meat and vegetables."

"How about this, I will take out twenty catties and sell it to the big guy, how about your family sharing it?"

"Success, now the pork in the town is one and two catties, how much does your house sell?"

someone asked again.

"How about this, one yuan is one catty, and the family is limited to half a catty, and the big guys will fight the tooth festival."

When they heard that it was 20 cents cheaper than in the town, everyone was very happy, and they didn't mind that it was only half a catty.

After all, half a catty of meat is also meat, isn't it?

Twenty catties of meat were quickly bought by the villagers, and Wei Lan weighed the rest, and there were still more than thirty-eight catties.

It's all pure meat, big bones and pig offal are not counted.

"Second sister-in-law, can you sell me one of this big bone? My wife is pregnant, and I want to give her a supplement."

"become."

Wei Lan picked two of them himself, and let the villagers share the rest. This time, instead of taking money, they replaced it with vegetables.

The villagers left one after another, and the pork was carried to the kitchen.

Looking at the pork, Wei Lan pondered for a moment, then looked at Qin Xian beside him.

"Girl, do you think we should send some over there?"

Hearing this, Qin Xian frowned. To be honest, she really didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the old courtyard.

But as far as the virtues of those guys in the old yard are concerned, if they don't give it away, I'm afraid they will come and make trouble again.

"No need to send it."

Just when she was hesitating, Qin Guoyong's voice came from outside.

"Since the relationship is broken, don't let them have any more fantasies, so as to save the trouble of dragging and pulling in the future."

Qin Guoyong still knows the people in the old courtyard very well. If they continue to be entangled, there will be more troubles in the future.

He doesn't care about these reputations now, he just wants to have a peaceful life.

When he spoke, the two of them were not struggling.

Wei Lan, Qin Xian, and Lin Xiaomei were busy in the kitchen, taking out all the food for the afternoon, and salting the rest.

"Old man, do you think the second child will bring us meat?"

In the old courtyard, the old lady stood at the door eagerly watching. The story of Qin Xian catching a wild boar with a trap in the mountains has almost spread throughout the village.

She wanted to go there at first, and planned to get a few catties back, but was stopped by the old man.

After all, she is still a glutton, even if she is stopped, she still has illusions in her heart.
