Chapter 31

Back home, the whole family was busy!

Two boars, one sow, three yellow-haired ones, this harvest was quite large!

When the village organized autumn or winter hunting, even if it was counted on the hunters, there weren't this many!

But Wang An didn't have much happiness, this pig fighting was too exciting, this can't be called hunting, this is called exchanging lives!

But seeing the smiles on the family's faces, Wang An finally felt a little comfort in his heart!

After watching for a while, he found that the father was dealing with the internal organs, and now there weren't enough basins for the internal organs at home, they were all using baskets!

Seeing Mu Xueqing unloading meat, he suddenly thought of his father-in-law's family, with so many pigs, he must divide them!

Thinking of this, Wang An said to Liu Guilan: "Mother, leave one big yellow-haired one after taking out the internal organs, don't peel the skin, and that small big boar, after taking out the internal organs, put it there too!"

Liu Guilan stood up and asked suspiciously: "What are you doing? You clean it up, do you want to clean it up yourself?"

Wang An rolled his eyes and said: "Invite guests tomorrow, send it to my father-in-law and the others the day after tomorrow, I see my brother-in-law is idle every day, let him clean it up himself!"

Liu Guilan looked at Mu Xueqing when she heard this, her idea was to send some meat directly to the in-laws!

But Wang An's idea was indeed better, but in front of Mu Xueqing, she still scolded: "Sending things to your father-in-law, don't you have to clean it up before sending it, how can you let others clean it up?"

Wang An said indifferently: "It's okay, if you don't believe me, ask Xueqing, besides, sending a whole one shows my sincerity as a son-in-law! Hehehe..."

Mu Xueqing didn't speak, but nodded, obviously approving of what Wang An said!

A whole one, although it still needs to be cleaned, in terms of perception, it can give people more visual impact!

Liu Guilan looked at Mu Xueqing again, saw Mu Xueqing nod, and said along the way: "That's okay, listen to you two, it saves me the effort of peeling the skin!"

Several people worked together to put the big boar that hadn't been moved into the house on the big wooden rack used for drying wild vegetables outside.

Wang An hugged the big yellow-haired one that had already been moved into the house and put it out, and put it well!

He also covered it with a straw mat to prevent it from being eaten by rats! The rats in the countryside are quite rampant, if the pig is bitten into a mess, then sending it as a gift would be shameful!

Wang An went back to the room and thought for a while, then took out a jumping cat and a wild chicken, hung them in the shed outside, and planned to send them to his father-in-law together!

Then he worked with his family for a long time before cleaning up all four pigs and the jumping cat and wild chicken!

Dinner was eaten very late, and the food was quite simple, the staple food was cornmeal porridge and cornmeal pancakes, the dish was cabbage and potato stewed with meat, and radish strips pickles!

After this awkward day and the life-risking excitement of fighting the pigs, Wang An really didn't have the passion and thoughts to do that thing, so he hugged Mu Xueqing and fell into a deep sleep!

In the morning, the whole family got up quite early, because they were inviting guests today.

The two little girls were also scolded by Liu Guilan, and they put on their clothes with sleepy eyes, as if they would fall asleep again if they were not careful!

After eating breakfast early, Wang Dazhu went out to invite guests.

Wang An's original plan was to invite Li Biao, but after yesterday's incident, forget it, not compatible, redundant!

Thinking about the preparation of the banquet in a while, Wang An found that he had forgotten an important big thing!

Banquet, banquet, no banquet without wine! There is no wine at home!

In this era, wine is a scarce material, mainly because the wine at this time is all burned from grain!

Not enough grain to eat is the norm, if you want to burn wine, what are you going to burn without grain!

Pondering about the wine, Wang An greeted his mother and Mu Xueqing and went out.

In this era, there are many craftsmen in each village, carpenters, blacksmiths, barefoot doctors, etc., basically all in the village, and there are even more people who can burn wine!

What Wang An wants to go to is a family in Kaoshan Village that is quite famous for burning wine, Han Shuisheng's family, Han Shuisheng, about 60 years old, nicknamed Big Wine Vat!

Can burn wine, and can drink even more, heard that it was because he loved wine like his life, but had no money to buy wine, so he specially learned to burn wine, he is also a talent!

Arriving at Han Shuisheng's house, he saw Han Shuisheng in the shed, fiddling with a bunch of sweet potatoes.

In the countryside at this time, every household has its own land, generally half is planted with vegetables and the other half is planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Han Shuisheng is different, he only plants a small amount of vegetables, most of them are planted with sweet potatoes, and he also opened a piece of wasteland on the hillside, also planted with sweet potatoes!

The quality of sweet potatoes on the hillside is not very good, some are as thin as chopsticks, some are as big as fingers, the biggest are as big as corn cobs, it's just that there are too many hair whiskers, and they don't look like they taste good.

And these sweet potatoes that don't taste good are not used for eating, but for burning wine!

"Grandpa Han, are you busy?" Wang An entered the courtyard and greeted with a smile.

Han Shuisheng is not tall, only a little over 1.6 meters, at this age in the countryside in this era, he is already an old man.

People are accustomed to calling them "Old So-and-so" when chatting, there is no derogatory meaning, just a noun! But they definitely wouldn't say that to their face!

Han Shuisheng saw Wang An and knew that he was here for business, shook off the dirt and sweet potato skin whiskers on his body, and stood up with a smile.

Said: "The eldest son of the Old Wang family is here!"

"Yeah, isn't it because I'm thinking about Grandpa Han's wine!" Wang An continued to say with a smile.

"Hehehe, there are quite a few people thinking about Grandpa's wine!" The old man was very confident in his craftsmanship.

"That's right, in these ten miles and eight villages, who doesn't know Grandpa Han's wine, it's the real deal (the best)" Wang An gave a thumbs up while complimenting with a smile.

"Hahaha, Grandpa likes to hear you chat the most among the young people in this village!" The old man was very pleased with Wang An's words.

"Mainly because I speak honestly, I never talk nonsense!" Wang An smiled solemnly.

"Haha... stop talking nonsense with you, how much wine do you want to hit?" The old man asked.

In this era, grain is scarce, so grain coupons are needed, and loose white wine in the supply and marketing cooperative not only needs coupons, but the price is not cheap, 6.5 cents a catty!

And this kind of self-burned wine, because it doesn't need coupons, is even more expensive!

"Coming once, I have to get a lot, how much is it a catty? Grandpa?" Wang An asked.

"Corn wine is 8 cents, sorghum wine is 1 yuan, sweet potato burn is cheaper at 6 cents a catty," the old man replied.

Wang An thought of the deer whip and deer bone at home, it's a pity to sell them, who knows when he will be able to hit a deer next time! It's better to soak it in wine!

Thinking of his father at home, the way he craved wine that day, he said: "Give me 50 catties of sorghum wine, and 50 catties of sweet potato burn!"

"How much? What are you doing with so much wine?" The old man asked in shock.

In this era, hitting wine is when there are guests at home, hitting two or three catties, where is there such a way to buy wine!

Wang An didn't hide it either, told the story of hitting the sika deer, and also said he wanted to soak it in wine! But didn't mention the mountain leopard!

The value of the mountain leopard is too high, if it spreads out, there will definitely be a lot of people who want to visit the mountain leopard skin, which is both troublesome and targeted by people!

"Oh, I didn't expect that there is another gunner in Kaoshan Village!" The old man praised with a smile!

"What gunner! That deer was injured by large livestock, otherwise how could I hit that thing!" Wang An hurriedly said.

What he is like, he knows very well! A fart of a gunner, except for marksmanship, he is a second-rate person!

Wang An paid for the wine, and bought two big jars for 50 catties of wine, and two small jars for 20 catties from the old man!

They are all jars burned from pottery clay, the big ones are 1 yuan, the small ones are 5 cents.

Using the wooden wheel small cart used to push wine at the old man's house, he carefully pushed the wine home!

You have to be careful, these pottery jars are really not very strong!!

This result is really too bad!

I'm a little embarrassed!

Relatives who have tickets, throw some! Grateful!

Friends who haven't added to the bookshelf, add one, trouble you!!
