Chapter 32: Insufficient Greed

The loud noise was the first to wake up Mrs. Miao, who was in Jueqian. She got out of bed in a panic, turned on the light and went out to take a look. She saw a fat and strong sika deer lying at the door of her yard.

The sika deer used so much force that it not only knocked down the wooden door, but also broke a pair of large horns on its head into two sections, knocking itself to death, which shows how powerful it was.

Mrs. Miao was so surprised and happy that she circled around the sika deer several times and forgot what she was supposed to do.

When she came to her senses, she didn't want to call her sons who had to go to work during the day. She quickly rushed into the room and woke up Mr. Qin, who was sleeping deeply.

A sika deer suddenly ran into the house. Even though there were argali examples, Mr. Qin was still shocked. He had no doubt that his granddaughter had brought the deer.

"Wake up the old man, this deer will have to be taken care of tonight." Mr. Qin said to Mrs. Miao, and went back to the house to get the knife and bench.

If this deer was alive, Mr. Qin would be reluctant to kill it and eat it. But this deer is already dead. It will smell bad if it is not dealt with quickly in such a hot weather.

If the mountain road had not been blocked, Mr. Qin would have thought of a way to bring him to the city to exchange money. Now that the road has not been cleared, it is naturally impossible to go there, so he can only clean it up at home and sell it to the neighbors.

Mrs. Miao understood Mr. Qin's plan and hurriedly called for someone.

After a day of work during the day, his tired bones were almost falling apart. Qin Chuan was sleeping soundly at this moment. He was woken up unexpectedly, and he got angry all of a sudden. He shouted to Mrs. Miao: "Mom, it's so late at night."

What are you doing, why don't you let me sleep?"

Mrs. Miao was always tolerant to her children and said in a good-natured manner: "A deer ran into the house. Your father asked you to get up and clean it up with him. You will have deer meat to eat tomorrow."

"Deer? Mother, this is such luck... I'll get up right now."

A deer bumped into the door. It was a windfall! When he heard that his father was going to kill the deer for meat, Qin Chuan was so excited that he fell asleep and jumped out of bed in such a hurry that he didn't even bother to put on his shoes.

Mrs. Miao shook her head helplessly, picked up her son's shoes and chased him out.

"Mom, wait, I'll go take a look too."

Zhao Cao'er had a big belly and had been sleeping lightly for the past two months. The loud noise just now also woke her up. But she was too heavy to move, so she didn't go out.

When Mrs. Miao heard that the deer that had crashed into her house was a deer, she was as excited as Qin Chuan and clamored to go and see it.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the yard, Mr. Qin and Qin Chuan had already carried the sika deer to the bench and were removing the two big horns of the sika deer.

The antlers of sika deer are precious medicinal materials. Mr. Qin cut them very carefully. It's a pity that the horns were broken off, otherwise the size would have sold for a good price.

But when I thought that the whole deer was obtained for free, I quickly became happy again.

"Ah, this deer is really big." Zhao Cao'er stepped forward cautiously, using the not-so-bright oil lamp, he took a clear look at the sika deer on the bench, silently calculating how much money it could be sold for.

"It's really not small. I estimated it when my father and I carried it. I'm afraid it weighs two hundred kilograms!" Qin Chuan rubbed his hands excitedly. It's two hundred kilograms. Even if the fur and internal organs are removed, the meat with bones will not weigh less than

One hundred and three.

You know, such a big deer is much more expensive to sell as a whole than a sheep of the same weight. If it were sold in the city, it could be sold for at least eight taels of silver. Unfortunately, the road is blocked, so it can only be sold to the neighbors, and I'm afraid it won't sell.

The price has been raised.

This year, it is not a festival, and the villagers are reluctant to buy pork to eat, let alone such expensive venison.

After cutting off the deer's antlers, Mr. Qin sent Mrs. Miao to the stove to boil hot water, and he began to skin the deer again.

This deer was killed by hitting a door by itself, and its fur was intact without any damage. As long as it can be completely peeled off and sold in the city when the road is cleared, it will be worth a lot of money.

Although Mr. Qin and others deliberately lowered their voices, Qin Shan, Lin Qiuniang and Qin He were still woken up. The three of them were also surprised when they saw the sika deer.

Especially Lin Qiuniang, when she thought about what she said to her daughter before going to bed, she was confused for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Qin Shan also thought of this, and was immediately moved to tears. He concluded that the deer was brought by his daughter to help him as a father. He just wanted to run back to the house, pick up his daughter, hold her up high, and then run three times around the back mountain.

With the help of Qinshan, it was much faster to take care of the sika deer. In less than an hour, the entire sika deer and the water were taken care of.

Qin Chuan brought a steel scale and weighed the venison with bones to Qin Shan. It actually weighed 136 kilograms, which made everyone extremely happy.

It was impossible to sell all the meat. Mr. Qin selected the best parts and kept five or six kilograms of meat, and put them in a separate place with the sewer. The remaining one hundred and thirty kilograms were sold.

"Dad, how do you sell this venison? If it's cheap, we'll suffer a loss. If it's too expensive, no one will buy it." Seeing how much meat he had left at home, Qin Chuan swallowed and thought about the pricing issue, which made him quite worried for a moment.

Tangled.

Mr. Qin pondered for a moment and then decided: "It's ten cents more expensive than mutton per catty. Let's sell it in one or two pieces."

A few days ago, mutton in the city cost thirty-five cents a pound, and his own venison sold for forty-five cents, which was not high at all. If no one was willing to pay the money, he would borrow the village chief's boat and bring the deer to the village.

The meat was sent to Huaqingyuan across the lake, and Steward Sun should be able to eat most of it.

Everyone had no objection to the price, but Zhao Caoer felt that the price was too cheap, and said depressedly: "Oh, this deer came at the wrong time. If it comes before Crouching Kaner collapses, our family can

That’s a lot of extra money.”

This is said as if you can control the deer, as if it can come whenever you want.

The others were speechless and didn't even bother to say she was greedy.

But Zhao Cao'er didn't know what to do, so he pulled Lin Qiuniang's hand and said eagerly: "Sister-in-law, when you have nothing to do, just nag Xiaoxiao more. When the road is clear, let her recruit some valuable wild animals to the house. With this,

With these wild animals, we can live a good life without doing anything."

These words made people even more speechless. Not to mention Lin Qiuniang, even Qin Chuan was so embarrassed that he directly stepped forward and dragged her into the house: "Go back to your room and sleep quickly, don't tire my son."

Zhao Cao'er was making calculations in her heart, how could she feel tired? She shouted at Qin Chuan: "Don't hold me back, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"Humph, wait until you finish speaking? I will be embarrassed by you by the time you finish speaking." Qin Chuan ignored Zhao Cao'er's struggle, dragged her into the room in one breath, and bolted the door.
