Without mentioning how Zheng Shuiqing and Niu tried to take advantage of the Zheng family, without knowing that Zheng Lin and Sang Ye did whatever they should do, and after storing the purchased grain, they began to prepare for the next year's livelihood.

Now that it is not raining, no one knows whether the wheat and rapeseeds in the field can be harvested and whether the seedlings can be maintained smoothly. Zheng Lin took into account the pregnant mulberry leaves, and without any plans to travelers, so he decided to go to the mountains to try his luck to see if he could get some wild game and exchange it for money to supplement his family income.

Although there was some surplus last year, the money was not abundant, especially when he just bought a large amount of food, he became more and more difficult. Zheng Lin didn't want to live a waste of money and relied on his wife's dowry to support the family. Besides, he was confident that he could live a good life on that mountain.

After Sang Ye knew her husband's plan, he did not object. He only asked him to pay attention to safety and not to collide with those beasts. He was worried that the fat group would follow him. At least with this big guy, some large beasts would not dare to act rashly, such as tigers, wolves, etc.

Now the fat group is over one year old. In winter, when food is abundant and there is a way to keep warm, it does not enter a semi-hibernation like other bears. In order to maintain the body's calories, it even ate one-half of the food it eats than usual, allowing its volume to continue to expand. It suddenly crossed the threshold of 300 kilograms and went straight to 400 kilograms.

This guy is a male bear. The male bear often has a natural advantage over the female bear in terms of weight. If you continue to grow at this level, it will be a matter of time before your weight exceeds a thousand pounds.

"Your bear is well raised. If it is well trained, you don't need to buy meat all year round." Zhang Niuyi praised it for the first time when he saw the fat group. Now he wants to go to the mountains to hunt and he is even more eager to go to the fat group.

Zheng Lin glanced at Zhang Niuyi and said something plausible: "I hope you can say that too when you enter the mountain later."

Zhang Niuyi asked in confusion: "Why, is this guy going to make trouble? It doesn't look like it, I see it's like it's pretty good to chase chickens, but it doesn't look like it can't hunt!"

Although the chicken was caught and did not eat its mouth in the end, this also proves from the side that this guy is human and can chase prey under human instructions, right?

Zheng Lin smiled and said nothing, took the prepared dry food from his wife and said in a warm voice: "Just rest at home and rest early at night, don't wait for me."

Looking at the affectionate good brother, Zhang Niuyi and others who had seen him for a long time still felt goosebumps. They suppressed their smiles and turned their heads aside, for fear that they would not be able to hold back their jokes and destroy the atmosphere between the couple.

It was fine if I didn’t mention this. When I mentioned it, Sang Ye couldn’t help but say, “No matter whether you got something or not, you must come back early. You never sleep at home all night in the valley.”

Zheng Lin could not guarantee this. He wanted to hug his wife and not let her worry. He glanced at the annoying guys in front of him, and had to give up this idea and comforted him: "Don't worry, if you can come back early, we will definitely come back early, you don't have to worry about us."

Sang Ye was embarrassed to stick to the man in front of the person, so he nodded and turned to remind the fat group squatting beside him: "You must be obedient and don't run around. If you disappear, no one will look for you."

"Aoao" The fat group can't understand the words of the shoveler, so it doesn't prevent it from plucking its thick legs and responding twice to show that it knows. Only it itself understands how excited it is now, and this winter has caused it to be suffocated.

After explaining the matter, Zheng Lin and the other two took the fat group out to the mountains to the east. When passing by the Sang family, they happened to meet the mulberry tree that was going out to herd cattle.

Mang Shu looked at the four people wearing strong clothes and carrying bows and arrows with a gaze, and wanted to ask him if he could join. But he knew his ability, and catching two pheasants and hares was barely feasible. Those who went for big prey like his brother-in-law would only drag their legs, so he was embarrassed to ask for something to go.

Zheng Lin didn't like to talk empirically. He saw the enthusiasm in his brother-in-law's eyes, and did not ask for him to join. He only said that he would take him with him next time he had the chance and also took the black and gray balls to the mountains to practice, so as not to really regard themselves as ordinary local dogs.

The mulberry tree naturally agreed urgently

, watching the four people and one bear walk away.

Zheng Lin and the other four were already very eye-catching in their outfits, and they hit the fat group like a hill. After passing through the familiar Shangzheng Village and Lijia Village, they were fine. After passing through relatively unfamiliar villages, many people were directly scared and cried by the fat group who deliberately grinned.

The crying sounded from afar, attracting the villagers from the Fat Group to see them one by one, and they hid back in the house because they were afraid that they would be so beastly, so they used them to fill their stomachs. The brave ones also took shoulder poles, hoes and other items from home, and looked at the Fat Group tremblingly, beware of their breaking and biting people.

In response to this, Zheng Lin was quite helpless and stepped forward to take a photo of the fat group who was deliberately scary and said, "Be honest, if you scare people, you will never bring you out again."

"Ao?" The fat group looked at another poop shoveler in confusion, saying that he didn't understand, but under the sudden stern gaze of the poop shoveler, he closed his mouth and did not dare to show his white teeth to scare people.

Zhang Niuyi knew that his friend was going to release the fat group into the mountains and forests. Seeing the fat group, he couldn't help but say: "As long as the fat group does not hurt people, don't restrain it too much, otherwise one day when it encounters danger, it will remember your lessons and will not even resist."

The danger mentioned here refers to some hunters who make a living by hunting. The bold hunters dare to hunt anything. When they encounter beasts full of treasures like fat people, they are like thieves who see gold and cannot let go.

I am afraid that the fat group will lose its wildness if they stay with others for a long time. When they encounter such a hunter, they will not resist and be captured by the hunter.

"No." Zheng Lin pinched Fat Tuan's round ears and had strong confidence in Fat Tuan: "Except for family members, it is not close to outsiders. You have been here for so long, and it has never let you get close to you."

Zhang Niuyi thought about it and now, as his friend said, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "Let's see how it hunts later. If he can catch good prey alone, it may not take long to release the animals."

When talking about releasing animals, Zheng Lin was no longer confident. He looked at the fat group and showed some concerns: "I am not worried that it will starve to death, but I am afraid that it will not have any fighting experience. After releasing animals, it will not be their opponent."

When Zhang Niuyi heard this, he smiled: "It's easy to say. Take it to the mountains more often and ask it to fight with the same kind. Just being trapped in the house, even a grizzly bear is not much more powerful."

"Well, I will take it into the mountains from now on and find opportunities for fighting."

Zheng Lin also had this idea, but the fat group was too young before, and when he met an adult grizzly bear, he would only be abused. He never gave it this opportunity. Now he has no such concern, but he still has to start with hunting.

The group talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. Without stopping, the four of them directly followed the mountain path that Zheng Lin had usually walked into the abdomen of the mountain, looking for the large prey.

After Zheng Lin and others left, Sang Ye, who was idle, followed Meng and was busy. Seeing that Meng took out all the eggs he had stored in the past month, put them under the sun and looked at them carefully in the sun, he couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what are you doing?"

When Meng heard this, she knew that her daughter-in-law didn't understand this, so she pointed to a black spot on the egg and said, "There are two old hens in the house holding a nest. My mother picked out the hatchable eggs so that they could hatch. Such black spots can hatch chicks, but those without them cannot hatch. They can only sell or eat them. It is useless to make the hen hatch."

Meng put the egg that he had hoped for alone, picked up another egg and looked at the sunshine carefully. After reading it, he continued to say to his daughter-in-law: "It won't work like this one, you can see it yourself."

As she said that, she put the eggs in the hands of mulberry leaves. Hatching chickens happens every year. When she is old, her eyes will be blurred. Sooner or later, she will not see anything. But she has to teach her this ability and leave it to her in the future.

Sang Ye, who had never been exposed to such things, looked confused when she held the egg, but it sounded very interesting. So she imitated her mother-in-law, pinched the egg with two fingers, turned her head towards the light from the sun, and slowly turned and carefully looked at the surface of the egg.

After observing for a week, she didn't see the so-called black spots. She put down the egg and picked up what her mother-in-law said.

The egg with only black dots looked at the strong light carefully, and a dark spot that was not transparent appeared.

"I saw it, mom, I saw it, there are really dark spots!" Sang Ye shouted excitedly, feeling that this matter is not difficult, it depends on his eyesight.

Meng also laughed at her daughter-in-law who suddenly became childish, and picked up an egg that she had never seen before and put it in her hand: "Then look at this again to see if you can find the black spots."

"Yeah!" Mang Ye found a new fun. He took the eggs without saying a word and looked at the sunlight carefully.

This time, Mulberry leaves took a lot of effort to finally see a small black spot. After confirming it with Meng, I finally confirmed that it was an egg that could hatch a chick, so I put it aside.

After watching a few more times, Mangye quickly became familiar with this business. However, after looking at the strong light for a long time, his eyes couldn't stand it anymore. He had to rest for a while before he could continue to look, otherwise it would be easy to see and leak out the black spots.

It took about two minutes for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to finally finish reading the more than 60 eggs that had been stored for a winter. However, there were a lot of eggs, but only twenty of them could hatch chicks, which was far from meeting Meng's requirements.

"Mom, our eggs are not sold. Even if these twenty-three eggs can only be hatched ten hens, the eggs laid are enough for our family to eat. What should we do if we hatch so much?" Mangye stood up with his sore waist. When he heard that his mother-in-law said she had to go to someone else's house to change eggs, she was very confused.

Meng looked at her belly with a gentle look and smiled, "Your belly has been more than four months old. At the latest, it will be landed in early August. I won't raise more chickens at home. What should I do to nourish my body? Hatch more this year, and I can still exchange it for someone else's old hens. Whether this woman is in confinement or nourish her body, it's the best for the old hens."

Sang Ye has thought of countless reasons, but he didn't expect that his mother-in-law wanted to hatch more eggs, just to nourish her body, and suddenly she had the urge to cry.

Meng didn't know what ripples had caused in her daughter-in-law's heart. She put the twenty or so eggs away separately, then picked up the basket and said, "I'm afraid every household is preparing to hatch eggs these days. I have to go to your third aunt's house to check it out soon, so that others will take her eggs first."

Sang Ye blinked quickly, covered the wetness in his eyes, stepped forward and took his mother-in-law's arm and smiled, "Mom, I'll go with you, staying at home is very boring."

Meng, who originally wanted her to go back to her room to rest, changed her words and said, "Okay, then go out for a walk with my mother. In the past, your third aunt wanted to ask you for a trick, and planned to make a pair of tiger-toed shoes for your grandson to celebrate the first birthday. I'll go and have a look today."

Tiger-head shoes are not popular in this time and space. When Mangye made new shoes for Tiger-heads before the New Year, Tuqi wanted to make him a pair of tiger-head shoes. These tiger-head shoes are bright in color, and the tiger-heads are vivid and realistic. They are very cute when worn on children's feet, and are deeply loved by Tiger-heads.

When I was wearing it, I was seen by other children, and they also quarreled with my parents for shoes like tiger heads. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, I'd probably be many people coming to the door to ask Mangye for their appearance.

Even so, women have come to ask these days, but there are guests at home and they are all male guests. It is difficult for those women to ask in detail, and they have not learned how to make tiger-head shoes.

"Okay, I'll go and tell my third aunt now." My third aunt treated me well, and Sang Ye didn't agree to this small request, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law happily went to my third aunt's house.

There is no work in the field now. My aunt and her family are working in the vegetable garden in front of her, preparing to clean up the vegetable garden and sprinkle some vegetables to plant them. In this dry weather, it is best to grow vegetables after watering a few times. If they cannot grow, they will lose orders, and there is no big obstacle.

After hearing about Meng's intention, Aunt San put down her hand without saying a word, ran to the house and took out all the eggs at home.

"Here, I'll keep it for you. You can pick it slowly. How many you pick is? Change one of the eggs you can't hatch."

When Meng heard this, she was overjoyed: "Then my sister-in-law will thank you brother and sister. If you don't have one here, I really don't know where to look for it."

The third aunt waved her hand indifferently, pointed to Sang Ye and said, "Who in this village doesn't know that you treat Xiao Ye as your eyes."

The beads hurt? I expected that you would hatch more eggs this year, so I kept them and didn't give them anyone."

Sang Ye felt very warm when he listened, and said with a smile: "Aunt San loves me, I have to remember the goodness of Aunt San!"

Aunt San smiled and said, "What's the matter of just a few eggs? If you really miss Aunt Xie, help me make tiger-head shoes. Auntie likes these new shoes and looks festive."

Seeing that Aunt San really liked it, Sang Ye thought about it and said, "Aunt San, are these tiger-head shoes really so good? Do you think if they are ready to sell them at the market, will anyone buy them?"

Aunt San is a smart old lady. She understood what she meant when she heard Sang Ye's words. She thought for a while and shook her head uncertainly: "The shoes are beautiful, but they are not easy to make. Even if someone is willing to buy them, they will not make much money."

Whose wife can’t make shoes these days? If anyone goes to a shop to buy shoes, they will be criticized as a spoiler. It would be better to spend some time doing it yourself. But my third aunt never thought about why there would be a shoe store if every household really did wear shoes?

Sang Ye heard Aunt San’s concerns and smiled and said, “Aunt San, you will definitely not be able to sell tiger-head shoes as ordinary shoes, but what if these shoes can drive away ghosts and evil spirits?”

"Exorcist ghosts and evil spirits?" Aunt San widened her eyes and suspected that there was something wrong with her ears: "Just just a pair of shoes, how can she exorcist ghosts and evil spirits?"

Sang Ye shook his head and said confidently: "We all believe that hanging a black dog's tooth on the head of a child's bed can ward off evil spirits. Then some people will believe that a tiger's head, which is more powerful than a black dog, can ward off evil spirits. In this way, isn't it possible to make tiger's head shoes?"

In the previous life, tiger-head shoes were also called cat-head shoes. For children wearing them, they were originally a mascot and were said to have the function of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits. Although tiger-head shoes are very troublesome, since they can attract adults like San Auntie and a few years old, it means that there is a market for tiger-head shoes.

Perhaps the merchants would not spend money to buy a pair of tiger-head shoes, but there were more wealthy people in the town and county towns. As long as the function of tiger-head shoes to ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts is enlarged, some people would buy them with money, and it would be impossible to make a fortune from them.

The third aunt was not a fool. She was thrust by Sang Ye so hard that she slapped her thigh and said, "Sure, I think this is a good method!"

Every year during the River God Festival, every household has to make colorful lines for their children to ward off evil spirits. Let’s not talk about whether these colorful lines can ward off evil spirits. But even the poorest families will buy a few pieces on this day and tie them for their children. Isn’t this the same thing?

If you really want to tell me what it was, I would just say it was transmitted from a small place in the south. Who would go to the south to ask about a pair of shoes? What I asked was just auspicious and a peace of mind. Who would care about those who had it?

After figuring this out, Aunt San felt that using this method to make money was very feasible, and she couldn't wait to say, "Xiao Ye, tell me what the rules of this is? You can do whatever you say. If you really can earn money, you will take the big head and take the small head."

Sang Ye didn't expect that Aunt San would be so anxious, and for a moment he was quite helpless: "Aunt San, I have also made a temporary decision on this matter. What should I do? You have to allow me to think about it again. I will tell you when I have sorted out my clues. What do you think?"

Aunt San knew that this was too urgent, so she could only suppress her anxiety and nodded quickly: "Okay, when did you figure it out, tell Aunt San that Aunt San has no other skills, and Aunt San can get you some of them."

"Okay, then let's make up for it." Sang Ye valued Aunt San's pleasure and energy, and also knew that Aunt San was kind-hearted and reliable. If she could really do the tiger-head shoes business with Aunt San, she thought it would be very feasible.

The third aunt was extremely happy, and her thoughts were exactly the same as those in the mulberry leaves. Now no one in the village knew that mulberry leaves were capable and could support their parents' home in just over a year. If it doesn't make sense, it won't work if they get to their in-laws' home.

It was because I knew that mulberry leaves were reliable, and even though I was not sure that tiger-headed shoes could make money, my third aunt still agreed without hesitation, relying on her confidence in mulberry leaves.

Meng was completely confused, and she only knew that her daughter-in-law wanted to do business with her sister-in-law. She wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start, so she simply closed her mouth and focused on picking eggs, planning to go back again after she went back.

Ask your daughter-in-law carefully.

With the help of Sang Ye and Aunt San, the eggs were picked much faster. Soon, I finished picking up more than fifty eggs that Aunt San took out, and actually picked out twenty eggs that could be hatched.

Meng wanted to leave the eggs that her family could not hatched chicks. According to the convention, she changed two to one. However, the two families had a good relationship and now they could do business together. My third aunt refused to ask for it no matter what. She just asked Meng to take it back and make it for mulberry leaves, which was her wish as an aunt.

Forty eggs are not small, and they can be exchanged for dozens of cents when taken to the town! Sang Ye and Meng did not want to take advantage of this. The three of them pushed and pushed for a long time until the third aunt got angry. Meng had no choice but to take back the basket of eggs.
To be continued...
