Su Yan raised her head and glanced at him, knowing that he was caring about her, her eyebrows slightly curved, "Then I'll wait for you to come back, and we'll go together."
She picked the mushrooms into the basket and put the pancakes and bamboo tubes inside. "There are so many that I can't finish them all. I dried them in the sun and kept them for winter."
Seeing him eating heavily again, I couldn't help but say, "Brother Qin, don't eat too fast. It's not good for your health. Don't rush it now."
Qin An's movements were unnaturally slow, probably because staying in the mountains was weirder than at home. He took the bowl and went to the other side to sit and eat.
Su Yan knew that he was avoiding suspicion, so she didn't follow him. She took the branches and looked around for any mushrooms. The black fungus grew on the rotten tree last time. Her eyes lit up and she picked them out.
Then I thought that the rotten wood could be pulled back and watered every now and then, and the fungus should come out.
Thinking of this, she dragged her over with all her strength. Qin An glanced over here, seeming to know her plan, and said loudly: "No, it's too hot down there, so I can't do it."
Su Yan: "..."
She had no choice but to let it go.
When Qin An saw her leaning on her waist to take a breath, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, took a bite of rice, and said in a low voice: "No one is here."
He paused for a moment and then said: "I will come over to see when I'm hunting in the future, and I'll bring it down if I have any."
In the past, he only went to the mountains to hunt and collect some herbs, but now he subconsciously picks them when he sees them.
Su Yan nodded. After Qin An finished eating, she took the bowls and chopsticks, put them in the basket and prepared to go down the mountain. "Brother Qin, be careful when hunting." After saying that, she went down the mountain.
Qin An looked at her back with his deep eyes. He didn't take it back until she was out of sight, bent down, picked up the backpack, and went into the mountains.
On the fourth day of hunting, Qin An came back with a wild deer on his shoulders. Many people in the village saw it and ran to the door of Qin's house to take a look.
Su Yan was cleaning the house and walked out when she heard the noise. As soon as she went out, she bumped into something, but luckily she caught her by the door.
She covered her forehead and looked up to see Qin An, her eyes lit up, "Brother Qin, you are back."
Qin An glanced at her forehead, which was already red. He pursed his lips and said, "Yeah."
He glanced at her forehead again, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Su Yan shook her head.
"There are deer seeds outside, please take a look and I'll wash them." After Qin An finished speaking, he took the clothes and went to the kitchen.
When Su Yan came out, she saw the wild donkey on the ground in the yard. It weighed at least seventy or eighty kilograms. It was estimated that it could be sold for a lot of money.
Hunting is really profitable, but she doesn't know how to hunt either.
The person at the door was jealous, but he didn't dare to come in. He didn't know who it was, so he boldly asked, "Widow Li, do you want to sell it? How much is a pound of silver?"
Su Yan didn't know the price, so she shook her head, "I don't know."
After a while, Qin An washed himself, changed into clean clothes, came out, and said coldly: "Sell it, twenty cents a pound, but the antlers are not for sale."
Even if you take the venison to the town, the food stores will still have to stock it.
Everyone thought it was expensive, but venison was good to eat and nourished the body. Old Man Fan of the Fan family hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I want two kilograms."
"Um."
Qin An turned around and took the butcher's knife, and then began to skin the deer with neat and crisp movements.
He cut off the softest piece of venison, which weighed five or six kilograms. He handed it to Su Yan, who took it and took it to the kitchen to put away.
Several people in the village wanted it, and the village chief's family also wanted it. They bought ten kilograms and sold about twenty kilograms at once.
After everyone dispersed, Qin An cleaned out the internal organs, put them in a backpack, and said to Su Yan: "I'll sell it in town. It won't be fresh if I sell it tomorrow."
It's not yet noon now, and it can still be sold, but tomorrow it won't be sold at a good price.
"Then I'll go with you. We don't have much food at home." Su Yan quickly went to change her shoes.
The two got off the bamboo raft, walked for a while, and arrived at the donkey cart in the next village.
Seeing them looking at the meat in the basket, Su Yan called out, "Fresh venison, twenty cents per pound, for children to nourish their brains and for old people to nourish their bodies."
A big man came over to take a look and fell in love with the deer whip. He coughed and said in a low voice: "How do you sell this thing?"
"Half a tael of silver."
Qin An saw Su Yan looking at it from the corner of his eye, thinking that she didn't know what it was, so he moved the backpack slightly to block her view.
Half a tael of silver was not expensive. The man thought that his mother-in-law was not pregnant yet, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Put it on for me." After saying this, he gave him half a tael of silver.
Five pounds of venison were sold on a donkey cart.
After getting off the car, the two went to the restaurant. When the shopkeeper heard that it was venison, he wanted all of it.
After all, venison is rarely available, so if you deliver it to wealthy families in the town, you can get a lot of money from it.
I guess he knew the goods well and calculated that they were twenty-five cents per catty, thirty-eight cents, a total of nine hundred and fifty cents.
A deer earned almost two taels of silver, but Su Yan knew that the most valuable items were the antlers, the deer's internal organs, and the deer's tail, which could be used as medicine.
drug store
The doctor looked at these things carefully and looked a little happy, "They are all interesting things, don't you have deer penis?"
"Sold." Qin An shook his head.
The doctor felt a little pity, and then directly told the price, "The internal organs are one hundred cents per catty, the deer tail is three hundred cents a piece, the antlers... well, what do you think of two taels of silver?"
"Antlers are cheap."
Qin An has been hunting all year round, so he naturally knows the quality of antlers, which have better medicinal properties than the antlers that fall off naturally.
The doctor hesitated for a moment, looked over and over again, and finally said a price, "Two and a half, if you think it's okay, sell it. If you don't think it's okay, I can't accept it."
"Okay." Qin An nodded.
The doctor asked the accountant to give him money. He thought of something and asked, "Have the deerskins been sold too?"
"Not for sale."
Qin An didn't explain anything, and the doctor didn't force him. The main reason was that Qin An looked hard to talk.
After giving them four, two, three hundred and fifty-six questions, Qin An put them in his arms, and then went out with Su Yan.
The waiter at the shop next to him shouted enthusiastically, "The hot osmanthus cake, don't miss it when you pass by."
Su Yan followed the voice and glanced subconsciously. Qin An noticed her gaze from the corner of his eye, stopped, and walked to the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "It costs ten yuan."
"Okay, sir, it's thirty coins in total." The waiter neatly wrapped it for him.
Qin An paid the money, then took the cake to Su Yan and said in a low voice: "Eat it."
Su Yan was stunned for a moment and glanced at the rough guy in front of her. She couldn't help but smile and chased after him and said, "Thank you, Brother Qin."
She opened it, took a piece and took a small bite. It was quite delicious, "Brother Qin, you can eat a piece too."
Qin An glanced at her and seemed to like the food. His eyes returned to the front, and there was a softness in the corner of his mouth that was not easy to detect.
He shook his head slightly, "I don't like eating these."
