Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

"It was really Lin Heng who beat him. I saw it with my own eyes. The pheasant's blood wasn't even dry yet."

Chen Xiulan quickly proved for her husband.

"Watch it, I'll only show it once!"

After Lin Heng finished speaking, he picked up the slingshot and shot at a fist-sized dry gourd hanging on the wall five meters away.

With a bang, the gourd fell apart.

Everyone was horrified, and his father Lin Xuan's face was full of disbelief: "The sun really rises in the west?"

"Are you sure it's not evil?" Mother Lu Hongmei also looked shocked.

"Hmph, I just didn't bother making such small money before. When I was a kid, I practiced slingshots very hard." Lin Heng snorted and went to kill squirrels and pheasants.

Chen Xiulan's eyes were sparkling. She felt that her husband was so handsome and elegant today.

"Second father, wait for me, I will help you!" Lin Wei, the eldest nephew, ran over in a hurry. In his eyes, the second father is a god, and he must learn this slingshot skill.

Younger sister Lin Caiyun walked over to help her sister-in-law Xiulan with the baby.

"Second father, how do you practice so accurately? Please teach me." Lin Wei held Lin Heng's arm with a look of longing on his face.

He couldn't believe how prestigious he would be in the village if he could master this slingshot skill.

By then, won’t all the other boys have to kneel down and worship? The village chief's daughter has to take the initiative to come over and kiss her, right?

Lin Heng glanced at him and said, "I want to boil water, I don't have time."

"I'll come, Second Dad, I'll come!" Lin Wei took the kettle and went to light a fire to boil water.

Lin Wei, who is naughty and mischievous all day long, does not know that he has fallen into the trap of working and is still enjoying his fantasy.

Lin Heng hung the squirrel up, took a knife and slowly skinned it. This skin was worth three or four yuan. Can't help but be careless.

"Second Dad, the water is boiling." As long as there is motivation, the naughty kid also has amazing potential. Lin Wei boiled the water in ten minutes.

"Give it to me, I'll make soup chicken." Lin's father, Lin Xuan, took the kettle, poured it into a wooden bucket, mixed some cold water, and plucked the chicken's feathers.

Lin Wei did not dare to disturb Lin Heng and stood aside watching him work, waiting for Lin Heng to teach him.

"Dad, do you believe me now?" Lin Heng looked at his father and asked with a smile.

Father Lin glanced at him: "If you can persist like this for a month, I will pay for you to buy a shotgun."

Obviously, although Lin's father's attitude has changed, he still does not believe Lin Heng's lies about reforming his past.

Although he has no hunting skills, he also knows that this thing has returned empty-handed ten times and has to run all over the mountains. He feels that even if Lin Heng is good at slingshots, he will not be able to endure this hardship.

"I don't want a shotgun. Just buy me a bow when the time comes. Don't regret it." Lin Heng chuckled. He felt that shotguns were too dangerous, but bows and arrows were safer, and he used them better than guns.

"If you go back on your word, I am your son." Father Lin glared angrily.

After ending the topic, Father Lin asked again: "Is it reliable that your ginseng can be sold for six to seven hundred?"

"Of course, if that doesn't work, we'll go to the city and we can definitely sell it for 700 yuan." Lin Heng nodded and assured.

"That's good." Father Lin nodded and said while disemboweling the chicken: "Today, your brother and I will discuss where the new house should be.

What we mean is to dig up the vegetable garden of more than an acre outside and build a house. You two can come together, so you can be close and have someone to take care of you. "

"Okay, I have no objection." Lin Heng didn't care about this. If he doesn't have money now, he can just build a house to live in, and then plan carefully when he has money later.

"Brick houses are too expensive. Let's build a mud house. Then it will be good to paint the house with plaster." Lin's father added.

The red bricks shipped here from the town cost at least three cents per brick. Even if a house only cost ten thousand bricks, the total cost of two bricks would be six hundred.

But in fact, a house requires at least 15,000 to 20,000 red bricks, not including other materials, so the money is definitely not enough.

Earthen walls are cheap and only require labor. Loess is everywhere here. When built, you can also spend money to buy some furniture and decorate the interior.

"Okay, you're the one who pays for it anyway, you just make the decision." Lin Heng said with a smile.

At this time, the squirrel skin had been peeled off. He found a bamboo circle and made a circle to stretch the squirrel skin. Otherwise, it would shrink into a pile during the drying process.

"What do you mean I pay for it and it's all my decision? This is the place where you will live your whole life." Father Lin glared at him.

"What I mean is that the decision you made is a good one. Let's talk about the details after we start building it."

Lin Heng didn't say that he wanted to build it himself in the future, because he knew that at this stage, his father would only laugh at him and not believe him.

Hearing this, Father Lin felt better and nodded: "Then the ginseng will be sold the day after tomorrow, so I will go and tell Murakami."

To build a house these days, you only need to give a notification and you can build it at will. There is no approval process.

Lin Heng nodded and took out the squirrel's internal organs. These days, no matter the internal organs of pheasants or squirrels, they will not be thrown away. People will eat them once they are processed.

For this poor mountain village farmer, every bit of meat is hard-earned.

"Has all the meat been fried?" Mother Lin asked after getting the meat. After killing it, there was still more than two kilograms of meat, which made her feel a bit unreal.

"Of course, the weather will be bad tomorrow morning." Lin Heng said.

After Lin Heng said this, Mother Lin went back to cook, stir-frying pheasant meat with hot and sour seeds and red onions. Soon the spicy and sour taste accompanied by the aroma of oil came out. Everyone in the room was salivating and their stomachs were rumbling. Coo.

Everyone hadn't had meat for at least a month, and they were craving for it.

The meal was soon ready. The squirrel meat was fried with pickled radish, the pheasant meat was fried with sour and spicy sauce and red onion, and there was another dish of two animals' internal organs fried together, also with pickled radish.

Rural cooking is inseparable from sour pots.

"Lin Heng, do you want to send some to your mother-in-law?" Lin's father was still very filial. Whenever there was meat, he wanted to send some to the old lady, even if he was seriously biased towards his eldest brother.

But the meat was Lin Heng's, so he had to ask Lin Heng.

"If not, we don't have enough to eat ourselves." Lin Heng refused directly. Not all elderly people deserved filial piety, and his mother-in-law was one of them.

She had three sons, but she always favored her eldest son. Whenever there was something good in his family and his third father's family, she would come to ask for it and give it to her eldest son.

Sometimes she didn't give it, and the old lady would sneak over to get it herself.

But she never took anything from him and his third father's family.

"Second father is right, the wife is not good at all." The eldest nephew Lin Wei also echoed.

"Shut up." The eldest brother Lin Yue scolded his son.

"Then don't send it." Father Lin thought about it and nodded. The old lady was sure to disappoint people.

"Everyone, start eating!" Lin Heng first picked up a large piece for his wife Xiulan, and then said with a smile.

As soon as he moved his chopsticks, everyone couldn't help it and started to eat.

Three pots of meat were finished in less than ten minutes. Everyone hadn't eaten for too long and couldn't help it.

Lin Heng picked up half a bowl of meat for his wife. Even the eldest sister-in-law Liu Juan, who always liked to care about things, didn't dare to say a word, because this thing was made by Lin Heng.

"Too much, you eat some." Chen Xiulan picked up some for Lin Heng. She felt that today was the happiest day since she got married.

"You eat, you still have to feed the child and work, so you need to make up for it." Lin Heng picked it back and said without question.

Chen Xiulan offered some to her mother, but was rejected: "Eat it yourself, look how thin you are."

Mother Lin didn't scold Lin Heng tonight. She felt that Lin Heng finally behaved like a husband and knew how to love his wife.

"It's so delicious. It would be so great if I could eat it every day." Lin Caiyun licked her lips and savored the taste.

"Yes, aunt, it's so delicious."

After Lin Wei finished speaking, he looked at Lin Heng again: "Second father, please teach me how to shoot a slingshot. I also want to hunt for my family."

"When there is time." Lin stretched and took his daughter from his wife's arms.

Other people also had smiles on their faces. Seeing that Lin Heng's face looked much better, it felt like the New Year today.

Please recommend and read. Reading a new book is very important and determines whether a book can survive.

It's also good to turn it over every day for those who raise books, just like watering.
