Chen Miao didn't know how much he would give. It would be fine if he could change it into money.
"Young man, I can also have the wolf skin."
Luo Bingyuan shook his head, "Keep it for yourself."
It was really tiring along the way, but it was fine for just five yuan.
"Doctor, are you still collecting the wolf bones?"
"receive."
"Can someone bring it to you tomorrow?"
"Okay, just come to me directly."
"It's also one yuan a pair, right?"
"Yes, as long as the bones are intact."
Chen Miao thought about asking them if they could all send them over and exchange them for money.
Because I had something to do, I didn't stop in the county town. After lunch, I bought sesame seed cakes and hurried home.
Chen Miao went from house to house and told him that he could exchange it for one dollar. Who wouldn't be tempted?
Yang Yuemei looked at her sister-in-law carefully: "Third girl, this money?"
Chen Miao immediately understood what she was going to ask, "Sister-in-law, this is yours."
Now Yang Yuemei was relieved, even though her ribs were broken, her spine was still intact.
The three brothers discussed going to the hospital tomorrow, and Liu Laifu also came over in the evening. Shen Jianchun was also there.
One dollar is really a huge sum of money to them.
The next day, Chen Miao mixed the wolf meat with homemade seasonings, which included pepper powder, salt and chili powder.
After applying it, put it in the yard and cover it with a cloth to dry. You need to apply seasoning twice more, and it can be steamed tomorrow.
Everyone who went to the county seat in the afternoon came back, and no one gave them a dollar, mainly because they were incomplete. But it was only a hundred copper coins less. Even so, they were very happy. They bought food for the two children. Although
Not much, that's what they want.
Chen Miao sighed inwardly that this was much better than when he first came here. In fact, there are no absolute evil people, they are just forced by the living environment.
Chen Shan went to give money to his mother. "It's already quite a lot. It's for free. If you don't know, you just throw it away."
Chen Shan nodded and took out a paper bag from his arms, "Mom, these are peach cakes. I don't have much money, so I bought these."
Liang Caixia sighed in her heart, they are all poor and troublesome.
The next day Chen Miao started steaming wolf meat. Both pots were used.
After an hour, the alluring aroma comes out, which is different from other meats.
Chen Miao thinks it should be the flavor of seasoning. There is no cumin here, and it would taste even better if it were added.
Two children ran out and said, "Mom, it smells so good."
"Does it smell good? It's not cooked yet. It will take a while to eat."
The wolf meat is made of wood, so it needs to be steamed for a longer period of time, two and a half hours before taking off the pot. The aroma becomes more intense and it looks very beautiful.
After soaking for a day, the wolf meat has turned white. However, the color is different when it has chili noodles.
Calling the three of them to come over to eat meat, she prepared to cook.
"It tastes very good." Luo Bingyuan said while eating.
The two brothers also nodded and said it was delicious.
Chen Miao smiled and nodded, "Is this a success? We will do this with wild boar in the future. I think it should taste good. You can only eat one piece each. My mother said you can't eat more."
Lunch is steamed steamed buns, but it’s too hot now.
Let it cool in the afternoon and tear the wolf meat into small strips to make it easier to air-dry. Cover it with a white cloth in the yard to avoid flies.
The next day when I flipped it, it was a bit hard. Luo Bingyuan ate a piece. "If it dries, it will be more chewy, right?"
"That's right. The dried meat must be chewy, maybe not easy to bite,"
Luo Bingyuan nodded, "This is the best. You can eat one piece in your pocket for a long time."
Chen Miao stopped talking. It was really too hard and not easy. Even eating was a luxury.
"After the house is tidied up, we will go up the mountain. There are a lot of wild boars. We have tidied up the wolves. Even if there are still some, they are not that lethal. Other actions can be taken out."
Luo Bingyuan nodded, "It would be nice to cook more. This is meat. It can also satisfy everyone's cravings."
The job of turning the dried meat was his. Three days later Chen Dongsheng came over with two hanging firecrackers.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Tomorrow when the beam is on, we must set off firecrackers."
Chen Miao smiled, it was good that the old man knew. He didn't know this, but it was good that someone reminded him.
"It's time to go to the beam. I've already asked someone to look at it and told Lao Liu."
"Dad, just make the arrangements."
"I'll deliver the flower stand I ordered later. It didn't rain today, so I didn't waste any time."
Chen Miao also followed to load the car. It had to be driven to the house. It was great to have a father who knew how to be a carpenter.
Installing beams is a major event in building a house. Chen Miao was waiting outside early. These are people who have been working for a long time, and it was very easy to see them doing it.
The folks who had finished their farm work all came over to help, even if it was just to pass the flower stand.
At the end of the day, the wooden frame structure of the house has been completed. Tomorrow we can lay out the reed curtains and put on the tiles the day after tomorrow.
Three days later, the prototype of the house was ready. What is missing now are window frames, door frames and some carpentry work. The only remaining work for the engineering team is some interior work.
There is also a house, mopping the floor, setting up a kang, and setting up a stove.
It was already ten days later.
The small tasks in the house were more cumbersome, but the cement walls looked really good. Lao Liu wanted to apply white ash on it, but Chen Miao refused. Just rub it and it will become white, which is completely unnecessary.
"Girl, it's better to apply white ash to make it strong."
She didn’t understand either, so she agreed in the end. However, she found her father and wanted to seal the roof with wooden boards.
It's easy to clean up now before you move in, but it will be really inconvenient to do it later.
"Okay, I'll go find the boards. All the houses should be boarded up? That's a lot."
"Dad, all the houses are sealed."
"There is no need for the water vapor in the main room to be cooked and lit all day long."
"Dad, we need to do more work in the main room. I'm afraid of losing things after a long time."
"Okay, you can if you want."
It got cold sooner or later in October. She wanted to put jackets on the children, but Luo Bingyuan stopped her. Now she put on jackets herself, but she was afraid of the cold.
Luo Bingyuan now takes his two children up the mountain every day, and will definitely come back carrying branches on his back.
That day Chen Miao drove to the county seat by herself to buy glass and iron pots.
To be honest, this cost money. She told the glass factory the size, and they were responsible for changing it to the size she wanted. The glass for four rooms cost 20 yuan. She also bought four large iron pots, knives, shovels, and spoons.
Supplies.
In the evening, Shen Wufu and his wife came over. The cotton-padded clothes had been made for several days.
"Uncle Wu, let Luo Bingyuan go out to find someone. It's time to wear cotton clothes."
"Hmm. Do you still make cotton shoes?" Xiuyue asked.
"Of course, I have told the aunties that you can put in the soles of your shoes if you have nothing to do. There should be as many as you want."
"There are quite a few. They don't have time to collect shoe soles every day."
"Fifth Aunt, you are responsible for making cotton shoes. I will go to the county town to collect cotton and cloth these days."
