Yunying, who was busy on the side, kept needles and threading in her hands, and she smiled without raising her head, "Yes, Miss, my mother has already planned to do it. Didn't Uncle Tan fight back two green goats last month? My father packed the sheepskin early in the morning. Last time he went to the county town, he bought a few pieces of materials. After I made the cloak for the lady, I will start making the sheepskin coat. For this matter, Miss, don't worry, and I won't freeze us."

After hearing this, Rong Yunhe stopped talking and slowly paced the smooth bluestone road in the house.

After leaving for a cup of tea, she felt a little tired and stopped leaving. Then she leaned on the kang under Yun Xing's advice. Yun Xing helped divide the lines next to Yun Ying, handing the scissors and hitting her. At this time, she heard a low shout from the downstairs of Xiu Tower: "Yun Xing, Yun Xing!"

After hearing this, Yun Xing quickly put down the thread in her hand, stood up and agreed, and then said to Rong Yunhe: "Miss, this is my second brother. He went to the field to see the food with my father, Uncle Tan and his elder brother early in the morning. I think he is back now. I will go down and take a look."

Rong Yun and nodded, and Yun Xing ran away.

After a while, she ran in with a heavy wicker basket, panting. I don’t know where this thin and small person got so much effort to carry such a heavy basket.

Yun Xing held the basket in front of Rong Yunhe and said excitedly: "Miss, what do you think this is?"

Rong Yunhe looked closely and found that she had been to the northwest in modern times, so she naturally recognized that this was a specialty in the mountains, including soft dates, soybean pears, walnuts, pine nuts, hazelnuts and other mountain products. A basket full of piles with water droplets hanging on it, which looked like they had just washed.

She smiled and said, "Isn't this a mountain product? It's winter now, where do you get so many?"

Yun Xing nodded excitedly, and while quickly taking a celadon high-plate tray, picking some of the cleaned mountain products into the high-plate tray, answering, "My father, Uncle Tan and my elder brother and second brother, got up and went to the field before dawn today, checked the growth of the vegetables, then picked a lot of radish and white squids back from the snow.

On the way, Uncle Tan saw that it was still early, so he said that while the snow was not very heavy, he would go to the mountains to take a look so that he would not turn back and it would be difficult to get into the mountains again.

After all, when the snow starts to rise, I am afraid that the snow in the mountains will accumulate thicker and thicker, and the sky will become colder. Before spring begins next year, don’t make the idea of ​​entering the mountains.

That's right, we are lucky today. Not long after we entered the mountain, they picked up this basket of mountain goods, as well as a large basket of mountain mushrooms, wild vegetables and mushrooms. Uncle Tan also beat a deer, two hares and two pheasants back, which was enough for us to eat for a while.

My mother and Aunt Luo have been muttering these days, and are looking for some wild animals to replenish their bodies.

However, the difficulty of entering the mountain increased a lot after the snow, and not only did there be fewer prey in the mountain, but many of the prey were still hibernating in the cave. The hunters entering the mountain in this village basically returned empty-handed. We were lucky, and we got so many things this time today.

Last time my father and Uncle Tan went to the county town, the shopkeeper of the fur shop said that the skin was not easy to collect recently, and his shop was particularly out of stock, so the price of fur rose a lot.

My father thought about it and said that we should keep the fur of the hare and use it ourselves; the skin of the deer and the feather of the pheasant can be kept. Next time I go to the county town, I can get more than ten taels of silver, which is several times more than in autumn!”

Rong Yunhe knew that Pingqiao Village was located in Yanbei, close to the mountains, and there were naturally many rich animals and plants in the mountains.

The villagers in this village often go to the mountains to find some mountain goods, dig some mushrooms and wild vegetables, and earn some scattered money to subsidize their family income. It can be considered as relying on the mountains to earn money.

Moreover, because they are located on the border and are adjacent to the Turks, many people still have the blood of Hu people, so the people are quite tough. Regardless of men, women, young and old, they basically have some skills in their own hands, and it is not a problem to get on horses and shoot archers.

So those middle-aged men who have good kung fu and are more accurate in archery will team up to hunt in the mountains during the slack season. When luck is good, it will take a few preys to catch a few preys, which will take a month for a whole family.

Even if you have a slightly less luck, it will be no problem to beat some hares and pheasants to go home, and you can add a dish to the dining table.

After all, life is difficult nowadays. It is rare to see meat and fish in daily life. It is a rare delicacy for everyone to eat hare meat and pheasant meat.

The fur of hares and pheasant fur can be sold to fur shops, which is also a rare income.

If there are those who are lucky enough to go against the sky, you might even find some precious medicinal herbs in the mountains, such as ginseng, snow lotus, Ganoderma lucidum and Tremella.

If these medicinal materials with vintage were sold to the county clinic, the silver they earned would be enough for this ordinary family to spend a year!

Luo Cailei's husband Tan Yingyuan has good kung fu and often takes Cai Ershun to the mountains to hunt.

Some of the prey caught here either directly ate the meat of the Rong family and used the fur to make a big coat to keep the cold in winter, or the whole prey was sold directly to the fur shop in the county town to exchange for some silver to subsidize the household.

Occasionally, they would come across some rare medicinal herbs, which usually took them back and put them in medicine for Rong Yunhe to nourish their bodies.

But this year, the winter in Yanbei seems to come particularly early, and the weather becomes extremely cold within a few days in September.

It has snowed again in the past two days, and the mountains are covered with snow in winter. It is difficult to find any useful mountain products and medicinal materials, and it is even more difficult to catch prey.

So at this time, almost no one in the village will run into the mountains. First, the harvest is small, and second, the danger is relatively high. If you encounter an avalanche, you will have to pay your life.

I didn’t expect that I would have such good luck today, which allowed Tan Yingyuan and the others to gain so much.

Yun Xing was tired after running for a long time. He picked up the teacup beside him and drank a cup of tea in one breath. He then continued: "On the way back, I passed by the river, and my second brother remembered to see the fish he raised in the river a few days ago."
