Captain Sun assigned him first and gave him a piece of horse meat. He smiled and said, "Lingjun, this is your first time to eat horse meat since you came here. Take it back and try it. It tastes good."
"How embarrassing."
He could clearly see that the piece of horse meat that Captain Sun obtained was far away from the position where the wolf would bite him. This was obviously because he disliked being bitten by a wolf.
Captain Sun was very kind to him.
"It's nothing, it's just horse meat. We've all eaten it. Since you're a doctor, of course it's better to eat it."
"It's really not necessary."
Du Yun declined for a long time, thanked them with a smile, and then left to take the horse meat back to see how to handle it or how to eat it.
Li Xiuzhi was also very happy when she saw it. It was also her first time to eat horse meat.
Let’s not talk about how it tastes. I’ll just say that the first time I tasted it, I felt good.
"How to do it?"
"You can cut some off to taste first."
"As for the rest, you can't eat it directly. The New Year will be here in less than two months, so you have to save some for the New Year."
It sounds true, but how to save it is a problem.
There are no refrigerators now, so if you leave horse meat outside for two months, you won't even have a good time to get the horse meat to go rancid.
It has long been stolen by various predatory animals. If it cannot be stolen, it will turn into rotten food, giving off an unpleasant smell and making it impossible to eat anymore.
Li Xiuzhi thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a good way to preserve it. She gritted her teeth and said, "We have stinky pork over there. Once it's cooked, it can be eaten for decades. How about we give it a try?"
Du Yun's face changed slightly, what a joke, how could you do that, he was not interested.
What is stinky pork? This is a special way to preserve bacon.
These smelly pork are very old, some have even been hanging from the beams for 53 years.
Not only does it look "dirty" on the outside, it also smells very strong. You can smell it from a long distance away, which makes people frown and hold their breath.
For this reason, many people who have tasted the smell of stinky pork say that the smell is much better than stinky tofu, and it is like hitting Tianling Gai directly.
The pork is usually hung directly on the beam of the owner's kitchen, where it stays for decades without any cleaning work. The pig is left to be wrapped in thick smoke oil and becomes "black". I am not in the habit of eating pork.
He was so full that he ate smelly pork.
Besides, given the current situation, if you keep it for decades and eat it later, why should we do that?
When I saw the snowdrift outside, I rolled my eyes and got an idea. I could put the horse meat in the snowdrift to preserve it.
This is a natural refrigerator. Although this is not the northeast, it is the northwest. The northwest wind is blowing, and the cold people are shivering all over.
He immediately shook his head and said that there is no need to do this, you can’t do this.
Seeing that Li Xiuzhi didn't understand what he meant, Du Yun asked her to watch.
Then he stuffed the horse meat into the snowdrift. She was stunned when she saw it. She didn't expect to be able to play like this. She was really good at it.
In this regard, Du Yun said that it is normal to not do six basic things.
"Is this possible?"
"Don't worry, snowdrifts are natural refrigerators. As long as the snow doesn't melt, horse meat can be stored there for several months without any problem."
The premise is that no predators come to steal the food, but in this case, if the hare is left outside, it will freeze to death.
Nothing can go wrong here.
Li Xiuzhi nodded, she didn't expect that snow could be used in this way.
Du Yun said this was normal and nothing.
As for the next step, whatever you like, it’s still very good to work on it.
As she was talking, Li Xiuzhi suddenly bent down, looking disgusted, and then ran to the side and vomited wildly, wondering what was going on.
It took a long time before Li Xiuzhi finished vomiting and ran over and said, "Please see what's wrong with me."
Du Yun nodded and couldn't help but feel weird looking at her appearance. It didn't seem like there was something wrong with his wife, but...
He tried to feel his pulse, and a joyful look suddenly appeared on his face. Sure enough, as he thought, she was pregnant, with his child.
He couldn't help but smile when he thought that he was going to be a father again.
Hey, why do you say "you"?
Li Xiuzhi was so angry that she glared at him and scolded him, "I'm sick, and you're still so happy."
"Who told you that you are sick? You are pregnant."
"Really, great."
A smile suddenly appeared on Li Xiuzhi's face. As a very traditional woman, she attaches great importance to passing on the family line.
Pregnancy is better than anything else right now.
Du Yun said that it was indeed true. You were indeed pregnant and it would not take long for you to give birth to your child.
This makes Li Xiuzhi extremely happy.
Du Yun began to worry. The pregnancy was indeed good, which meant he had a child. What next?
Nutrition, this is the most important.
If you want to have a good child, you must have good nutrition. Not only do you have to take folic acid supplements like in the future, but you also have to go to the hospital for regular check-ups.
At least you have to eat well.
One of the main reasons why parents in the past were generally short was that they were hungry, lacked nutrition, and could not grow taller.
No matter there is no nutrition during the fetal or early childhood stage, this is a major reason.
How can you grow taller and stronger if you don't even have enough to eat and are hungry every day?
The only way is to supplement nutrition.
But it's impossible for him. Although he has a shopping platform and eats pretty well, he can't take out many things.
Besides, he has no money.
He just has no money. He is not a buyer now and has the means to exchange items on the shopping platform for money. He is now an ordinary herdsman, although he works part-time as a doctor and other things.
It can be considered a little money, but this is relative. With only consumption and no income, there is no much money now.
Li Xiuzhi saw his appearance and asked, "Aren't you happy to have a child?"
"I'm happy, I'm very happy. It's because I'm happy that I worry about how to supplement nutrition for you."
After telling her the situation, Li Xiuzhi was also worried and didn't know what to do.
She wants to have a good child, and who doesn’t hope that their children will become successful and their daughters will become successful?
It's just that she didn't know nutrition was so important before. When her man pointed it out, she frowned and didn't know how to deal with it. It really didn't happen.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Even if she wanted to, it would be impossible. Nowadays, most people are poor and don't have enough to eat.
He gritted his teeth and said, "At worst, if I work more, I can always make money."
No, let you work, what kind of work do you do? The family just lacks nutrition, and it’s not that they can’t even afford food. If you are asked to work, you will be the unlucky one in the end.
He quickly persuaded, "In the worst case, I'll go to the black market and look around. I can always get you something to supplement your nutrition."
"How can this be done? What if someone catches me?"
"You have to believe that nothing will happen to me."
As long as she doesn't have to worry about it, he will still take care of it.
Li Xiuzhi was worried, but Du Yun said it was okay. He had calculated the situation clearly and there would be no problem.
Seeing his persistence, Li Xiuzhi didn't say much, but she couldn't help but worry about him.
Du Yun didn't say much. His worries would dissipate when he came back. As for now, no matter what he said, he should still be worried.
He has already inquired about the location of the black market, or it may be said that it is not as strict in the northwest as in the mainland.
On the surface, it is said that the black market is prohibited, but secretly it is not prohibited, and it is still open and open.
If you want merit, go to the black market and earn some merit. Who cares about that? I don’t care what you like.
After the discussion was completed, Du Yun went to ask Captain Sun for a leave, saying that he would not be able to work tomorrow because he had something to do.
Then I rushed to the black market at night to try to make some money.
When he arrived at the black market, it was still dark.
Although I had known for a long time that there was a black market ahead, it was still dark with no light visible.
By the way, you are too thorough.
Du Yun really didn't expect that the black market was so dark. It was still a transaction after all. Are you doing this under the circumstances?
After a slight hesitation, he ignored him and sold the dark horse he was riding on to the shopping platform.
In an instant, the big black horse standing next to him disappeared.
It’s really easy to use this shopping platform as a space, no problem at all.
Cover your face with a piece of cloth and enter the black market.
He was wearing dark clothes and had a piece of cloth covering his face. No matter how you looked at him, he looked like a gangster.
Du Yun secretly laughed at how troublesome this incident was. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
But it’s just right, so no one will recognize it.
"What are you standing for?"
As he approached the black market, someone suddenly emerged from the darkness, staring at him and asking.
"Selling stuff."
The other party looked at him suspiciously, and Du Yun opened the bag and found flour inside.
Seeing this, the two of them had no doubts. One of them said, "I sell things on the black market for fifty cents a time."
Du Yun took out 50 cents and handed it to him, and the other party waved him in.
Du Yun entered to see if he could buy anything.
It's just that this charge, can we charge a little less, 50 cents a time, you are really ruthless.
Fifty cents for one person, five cents for ten people, fifty cents for one hundred people, don’t make it too easy.
That's right, who told this to be a black market? There are guaranteed to be people watching from above. Without them spending money to smooth things over, it would be strange if they didn't clamp down on it.
The most important thing is that he is safe and secure.
You can enter at will without paying any money, and no one will stop you. If you look back, you will be the unlucky one.
So for his own sake, he has to pay this money.
Du Yun took a few casual glances and saw that everyone buying things was very careful and left immediately after buying.
The sellers are equally cautious, afraid of being discovered, and even more nervous.
Put the things in the basket, as if you are ready to run away at any time.
This is much scarier than facing the black market.
This thing was done on the black market.
He found a place to take out his own things for sale. What he brought were all good things, snow-white flour.
When a hole was opened, snow-white flour was exposed, which immediately caused people to exclaim and come over to check it out and want to buy it.
Unlike the shortage of meat in the Mainland, there are still ways to find flour.
In this northwest pasture, on the contrary, there is still a way out for lack of meat, and there are plenty of prey that cannot be hunted anywhere.
If there are many prey, there will always be a capable person who can catch them.
But there is no farming here, or it is mostly pasture.
People are more accustomed to grazing.
There are far fewer people farming than in the mainland.
In this case, relatively less flour is needed.
I never thought that what he got was flour, so I immediately came over to ask about the price, hoping to get some and take them home to improve the food.
"Three cents per pound."
"Sanmao, you are too expensive."
"Please, if you don't look at what this is and where it is, you don't have to buy it if it's too expensive."
Du Yun looked so indifferent that he was speechless.
He just habitually wanted to negotiate a lower price, and then he was scolded, and he touched his nose in embarrassment and stopped talking.
Someone came over and waved the banknotes and said, "Give me two pounds."
"I also want two kilograms."
"I want three kilograms."
In a short time, all the dozens of kilograms of flour in my hand were sold.
Du Yun put away the bag and looked around with a smile.
I have already set my sights on one of them, and I can clearly see when he is selling it. Although it is shabby on the outside, it is good on the inside.
And he doesn’t have a watch on his hand.
This is a problem. People who have watches are used to wearing them.
And he wasn't wearing a watch, obviously he didn't have one, and he couldn't buy one even if he wanted to.
Quietly go over and ask "Brother, do you want something good?"
"What something."
"Watch."
As he said this, he took it out and looked at it. It was an authentic Shanghai watch, a big domestic brand. It would definitely be a face-saving gift to take it out.
Sure enough, the other person's eyes lit up, and he looked at the watch and obviously liked it very much.
"How much?"
"One hundred dollars."
"The watch is nice, but I can't afford it."
"Forget it, I'll ask someone else."
No, you shouldn't discuss with me and lower the price.
He quickly grabbed Du Yun and said, "Actually, I also want to buy it, but the price is too expensive."
"Please, I just came back from this. I bought it not long ago. If I didn't need the money urgently, I wouldn't sell it. But since you don't like it, I'll find someone else."
"No, who says I don't like it? I just think the price is high. Can it be cheaper? If the price is right, I will buy it."
"How much?"
"Eighty."
"At least ninety-five. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else."
Seeing that he wanted to talk, Du Yun turned around and left.
The other party tried to persuade him to stay, but Du Yun ignored him. He had no choice but to rush over and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but I don't have that much money now. Let's do business in the county tomorrow."
This is possible. Du Yun agreed to agree on a trading place with him. The transaction will be carried out in the county town at noon tomorrow, paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.
Du Yun continued to search and soon sold a few more.
We also agreed to trade tomorrow.
There are other things besides watches, but they are all good things.
At this moment, someone came over and asked, "What good stuff did my brother make? Can you show it to me?"
Du Yun glanced at him, opened his clothes and revealed a bottle of vodka inside.
"Vodka, do you want it?"
"I want it. I don't know if there are any more. I want to get two more bottles."
Du Yun pretended to frown and think, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "I still have a few bottles, are you sure you want them? This is vodka, which costs at least ten yuan a bottle."
"No problem, I have a boss who likes to drink this the most. Unfortunately, since the two parties have cut off contact, it has become difficult to find him.
If you can give it to him, he will be happy."
"Okay."
Du Yun nodded and agreed, agreeing on a trading location for the transaction.
