Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Chen Xiuyu was often scolded by Lu Lu.
You are not allowed to touch this way, not move that way, and even walk and eat, you are often lectured on all kinds of unaccustomed things.
Just like now, when she saw Lu Lu coming back, she happily greeted him, but what she got was a shameless blame, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips.
But in fact, Chen Xiuyu also knew in her heart that Lu Lu was purely concerned about her, and she felt a little sweet in her heart.
What really makes her feel strange is that this man knows a little too much and seems to be very experienced.
How did she know that Lu Lu was a person who had lived his whole life? Although he cared about the two children in his previous life and did not accompany them enough, he was still a person who had been with them since they were young.
Chen Xiuyu could only understand that it was Lu Lu's attentiveness.
She slowed down, covered her nose and squatted next to the deer that Lu Lu had dropped: "I got another deer, why don't you catch it and raise it?"
She had heard from Lu Lu that musk was quite valuable, even more valuable than gold. This was another big gain, and she felt happy.
"I met a leopard on the mountain. It killed this deer. I just picked it back. Do you think I don't want to capture it and keep it?"
Lu Lu took off the saddle and let Zhui Feng graze in the meadow. He also put down the hunting bag on his body. He then moved a wooden pillar and sat down. He took out the hunting knife and started to use the tip of the knife to open the belly of the deer.
, prepare to take out the sachet first.
The smell was so strong that even Lu Lu couldn't help but frown when he was cutting the fur. As he was cutting, he suddenly remembered something and looked up at Chen Xiuyu: "Hurry, go aside, this thing will happen in the future
, you must not touch it, and you must not smell it, do you hear me?"
Chen Xiuyu originally wanted to lend a hand to help, but was inexplicably warned again.
"What's going on?" She frowned, rolled her eyes and stared at Lu Lu: "I didn't provoke you, I just wanted to help, why are you so angry?"
Lu Lu dropped the knife in his hand and pulled Chen Xiuyu aside without any reason: "If you touch this thing, our child will be dead."
"Ah..." Chen Xiuyu was also shocked.
She didn't expect the matter to be so serious, so she quickly followed the instructions and walked away from a distance.
Although she had some doubts in her heart, looking at Lu Lu's serious look, she still did not dare to take it lightly.
"Musk is a precious medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effects of rejuvenating the mind, activating blood circulation and promoting menstruation. However, musk also contains slight poison, which may cause miscarriage or premature birth in pregnant women... Let me say it again, you are not allowed to touch this thing in the future!
"
In his previous life, Lu Lu had used this thing to collect mountain goods, so he naturally knew how powerful it was.
He didn't pay attention to this problem before, and when he reacted, he shocked himself severely.
Although he wasn't sure whether smelling the smell had such an effect, looking at it from a distance, it was definitely true.
After hearing Lu Lu's explanation, Chen Xiuyu's expression changed. She finally had a child, and she didn't want any problems to arise: "I know, I promise not to touch it in the future!"
Lu Lu nodded, took the deer deer and the hunting knife, left the yard, and ran to the grass in front of the cellar to play with them.
It didn't take long to cut off the deer's sachet.
He went into the house, took out the bottle that contained musk, and put the musk in the sachet cleanly into the bottle. To prevent the smell from leaking, he found beeswax and lit a fire.
Melt the beeswax, seal the bottle mouth, and then send it to the warehouse and place it in a cool and dark wooden cabinet.
The bottle had been kept in the drawer of the kangqin before, and he even began to wonder if the reason why he had not seen Chen Xiuyu move for so long was because he was affected by the smell of musk.
In the next time, Lu Lu skinned the deer and fed the meat directly to the dogs.
Although deer meat has a very good nourishing effect on men, Lu Lu doesn't want to touch it anymore, at least until the baby is born.
Later, Lu Lu took out the unpeeled greyhound eggs and peeled them. He then sent the meat back to the house to prepare for stir-frying at night.
Then only the sable was left.
He tied the fish to the wooden frame in front of the cellar. Starting from the position of the sable's mouth, Lu Lu carefully peeled off the fur bit by bit with a knife until the entire fur was completely removed, and then tied it to the wooden stake and shoveled it clean.
Oilskin, then stuffed the inside of the sable skin with straw to tighten it, and walked into the house with it.
"Look, what did I hit today?"
Lu Lu presented the sable skin to Chen Xiuyu who was cooking as if it were a treasure.
Chen Xiuyu took a look and suddenly became surprised: "Sable!"
"This is the first sable I've ever shot. Except for two small holes on its head that were bitten by dogs, the rest of the body is intact. It's just such a small sable skin, but it's something hundreds of dollars bigger." Lu Lu
He seemed a little excited.
Chen Xiuyu was also very happy. She took the sable skin and looked at it again and again: "Brother Lu, why do you think this sable skin is so expensive?"
"You see, in our place, it will get very, very cold in winter and snowy days. In order to resist the severe cold, sable fur is very sophisticated. For example, in the cold winter, we people will wear several layers of thick clothes. The sable fur
The fur is also divided into several layers: guard hair, lanceolate hair, down guard hair and villi.”
Lu Lu stretched out his hand and plucked the soft sable fur, revealing it as a treasure from his family.
"The guard hair is flexible and thick, and it mainly plays a protective role. The down is soft and fluffy, and can insulate and maintain heat. It is precisely because of these layers of hair that sable fur becomes warmer when it sees the wind, melts when falling snow, and can melt when encountering snow.
It has the reputation of not being wet by water and not hurting the eyes. Since ancient times, this has been the top and most precious fur."
As he spoke, he gently pushed aside the fur and plucked out a fine hair: "Open your eyes..."
Chen Xiuyu hesitated slightly and watched as Lu Lu held the fine hair close to her eyes and instinctively fluttered her eyelids.
Even if you know your eyes are going to be poked, how can you not avoid it so easily?
Lu Lu suddenly laughed: "You don't believe me, you are my wife, am I willing to poke your eyes out? If I am not sure, would I dare to do that?"
After hearing this, Chen Xiuyu nodded and tried her best to open her eyes wide.
Lu Lu pinched the fluff and gently poked her eyeball: "How is it?"
"It really doesn't hurt!" Chen Xiuyu was surprised.
"Now you know why it is so expensive?"
Chen Xiuyu nodded and then asked: "Then why is it called sable when it's clearly not purple?"
"You'll know when you see it under the sun!"
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he took the sable skin and walked towards the courtyard.
Chen Xiuyu also followed out and stood at the door, looking at Lu Lu holding the sable fur in the sun with his hands.
Under the refraction of the sun, she saw that the entire fur seemed to be covered with a faint purple glow, which was very magical and beautiful. She immediately understood why it was called sable.
Lu Lu smiled and sent the mink back to the warehouse to dry in the dark.
While Chen Xiuyu was cooking, he went to the Immortal Pillar to look at the water dog skins, green-rooted mink skins and wolf skins he had placed inside.
The small cactus pillar was filled with all kinds of furs, and the ones that had dried were picked out and sent to the warehouse for storage.
There are ventilation holes on the top of the fairy pillar. When the curtain is opened, the air circulates quickly, just like a chimney. It can also avoid the sun exposure and is an excellent place for drying fur in the shade. This is why the fairy pillar has never been demolished.
Now looking at the fur inside, Lu Lu felt that the immortal pillar was too small and not enough.
In the past few days, we have been getting a lot of greyhound skins one after another, but there is no place to put them.
Lu Lu thought for a while, then took out the more valuable water dog skins and framed wolf skins, and sent them to the barn in the yard to hang them, making room for the gray dog skins and jumping cat skins.
Come on location.
Look at this, it will take at least seven or eight days for these furs to dry completely when the weather is good.
Now that he has no shortage of money, Lu Lu plans to put the furs away temporarily and sell them to the buying station when he needs money or the price improves.
While Lu Lu was busy putting the greyhound skins and jumping cat skins shoveled into the fairy pillar, Yuanbao, who was enjoying the shade under the lime tree next to the cellar, suddenly stood up, ran to the grass, and rushed to the tree.
He started barking outside, and several paparazzi followed him.
Hearing the barking of the dog, Lu Lu got out of the immortal pillar, glanced at Yuanbao and the others, and then turned to look at the road in the forest.
Someone is coming, who can it be?
After waiting for a while, a person walked quickly on the forest road. Lu Lu took a closer look and found that it was Zuo Songling, a carpenter from Xiushantun.
He hurriedly greeted him and opened the door: "Brother Zuo, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"I squat at home every day to build your furniture, just because I'm afraid you'll be waiting to use it, so I don't have time to move around. I've been busy harvesting crops for the past two days... I'm finally done!" Zuo Songling said with a smile.
"Please come into the house quickly. You came just in time. Xiuyu is busy cooking in the house. She should be ready soon. Let's have a drink!" Lu Lu warmly greeted Zuo Songling to sit at home.
"I won't go in. I'm here to tell you that the furniture you asked me to make has been made. Take some time tomorrow to bring it over from my house!" Zuo Songling stood at the door and refused.
Go inside.
"I'll go over tomorrow and ask Qingzi to help pull...into the house!" Lu Lu couldn't help but said, pulling Zuo Songling into his house: "It's not like we've only known each other for a day or two, and we won't enter the house as soon as we hear about dinner.
, you have been working for me for such a long time, and when you arrive at my house, you want to leave without even eating, that is unjustifiable."
Zuo Songling couldn't defeat Lu Lu, so he could only follow him.
When they arrived at the room, not long after the two chatted, Chen Xiuyu had already put the food on the table.
Zuo Songling also completely let go and had a drink with Lu Lu. After eating, they agreed to pull furniture tomorrow morning. Lu Lu asked Chen Xiuyu to give Zuo Songling a hundred yuan as a reward.
"I've only been working for more than a month, how can I get so much money?" Zuo Songling was a little scared. Even for a master carpenter, according to the current salary of the master, the money Lu Lu gave was too much.
"Just keep it if I give it to you. Your craftsmanship is worth the money!"
Although I haven’t seen what the furniture looks like yet, judging from what Wang Dalong said, Zuo Songling’s craftsmanship is among the best in the surrounding areas. The furniture he makes is no worse than the ones in the district. Lu Lu believes that he
The furniture he wanted was definitely good. He insisted on putting the one hundred yuan wages into Zuo Songling's pocket.
Seeing this, Zuo Songling couldn't refuse anymore: "Then I'll wait at home tomorrow morning."
"What are your plans next?" Lu Lu asked casually.
"Winter is about to begin. The Xiangshui River Forest Farm is hiring people to cut trees. I'm going to follow them for a while."
"That's not bad...wait a minute, isn't Brother Zhao's house already built? I'll go help and ask if you need some furniture. There's also Qingzi's house, although the house hasn't been built yet.
, but you can do the furniture first. With these things, maybe you won’t have to go to the forest farm to work this winter, which will be enough to keep you busy.”
It is better to build furniture at home than to go to a forest farm to bask in the wind and snow.
Hearing what Lu Lu said, Zuo Songling couldn't help but become energetic, nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay... help me ask!"
The next morning, Lu Lu rode his horse to Xiushan Tun to find Chen Xiuqing early.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he rode Zhui Feng onto the road, he saw Jiang Xianchang and the man from the big car shop driving the carriage into the dirt road leading into the mountains.
"Why did he come to this village?" Lu Lu muttered in his heart.
Thanks to book friends Shili Peach Blossom and Du Que for the reward!
