Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 65

There are also many bird eggs and pheasant eggs.

Not to mention pheasants and rabbits - they are the real specialties of Wubei Mountain. Hunter Jiang only dug out five or six rabbit nests and pulled out more than fifty rabbits of all sizes.

The sheep caught three of them, which were very ferocious and almost hurt people. There were also two strong wild boars, one of which almost escaped.

When Hunter Jiang and his men heard the miserable pig cries and rushed over, the female wild boar weighing more than 300 pounds was stepping on her husband's back and trying to escape, completely ignoring the husband who was screaming and crying from being stabbed by the bamboo sticks below. She was kicking with all her might, but unfortunately, she was cruel enough but unlucky, and was stabbed in the neck by Butcher Jiang. After a fierce struggle, the husband who was doing the backing underneath was finally killed by her.

As for the butcher Jiang, he fulfilled his dream of killing wild boars and even killed two.

But the most gratifying thing was that we caught two deer!

Deer! You are full of treasures!

The man who went up the mountain was laughing so hard that he could hardly stop.

however,

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

Jiang Zhengwang, the eldest son of hunter Jiang, had a dark face since he saw the deer. He would not respond when someone spoke to him and just looked unhappy.

Some people came to their senses and looked at Jiang the Hunter. Seeing the latter's smiling face, they felt relieved.

Hunter Jiang and Jiang Yitao arranged for people to send all the prey to Old Jiang's house. The small ones were divided among the families and preserved according to their own methods. The valuable ones were sold and exchanged for more food for home.

Deer are valuable, one deer can be sold for fifteen taels!

If you meet a wealthy man who knows about goods, you can get even 18 taels!

Eighteen taels!

Just split it like that!

Jiang Zhengwang felt heartbroken just thinking about it. In his 16 years of life, this was the first time he found food so hard to swallow. Why should he even eat?

Just choke him to death!

"If you don't eat, you'll be hungry! Who taught you to stick your chopsticks straight into the rice?"

As for his own child, as soon as he sticks his butt out, Hunter Jiang knows what shit the bear is going to spray. His vision is as short-sighted as a mouse. If a blind bear takes out his heart one day, this family will definitely be broken up if he is left to it!

"A dozen taels of silver can buy your life?" Hunter Jiang was so disappointed that he poked Jiang Zhengwang's forehead with the tip of a chopstick: "Use your brain! What kind of person is your uncle Pei? How could he not think of this? He said that my family would take one tenth, which means he had expected something like this to happen today."

"One tenth is less than two taels of silver..." Jiang Zhengwang muttered, "Without us, how could they hunt deer!"

"You killed these two deer by yourself?! Without the help of the villagers, it would take at least ten days for you, me, your mother, your brothers and sisters, your grandparents, to dig so many traps! They also contributed their efforts, so what's wrong with sharing some of the money?!"

Jiang Zhengwang choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

But just...

Ugh!

"Life is cheap in a disaster year. Now is the time for the whole village to unite as one. For this thirty taels of silver, do you want to talk to the clan or negotiate?"

"It would be better to sell it well and let the clan be grateful to our family. Your uncle Pei will also look up to us. If there is anything in the future, he can give us some advice. Isn't it better than you running around aimlessly?"

"In other words, I am not distributing money to the villagers, I am giving face to your uncle Pei!"

Jiang the Hunter's words were meant for his son and also for his wife. He saw clearly the expression on his wife's face when she came in, and it was exactly the same as that of his eldest son.

"Your Uncle Pei is very capable. If I can spend a few dozen taels of silver to get him to give us some advice, I'm willing!"

"Do you really think that life is easy in this disaster year? If the whole village doesn't stick together, someone might break into the village and eat you all!"

"Eat?! Eat eat...people?" The two little ones were so scared that they stuttered.

Hunter Jiang said sternly, "What do you think? Just like a bear eating a person, even the bones are chewed up by you!"

The two little ones shuddered.

"Humph, if anyone dares to come, my bow is not vegetarian. I will make them come without return...Ah! Dad, you hit me so hard!" Jiang Zhengwang got a slap in the face before he could finish his words.

"You and I can't be killed!" Hunter Jiang picked up the chopsticks aggressively and said, "Eat!"

……

Old Jiang’s family.

Jiang Yipei helped Jiang Xiubai get the wild deer and wild boar from Jiang Yitao.

This was originally going to be given to Uncle Chen to sell in town in exchange for some cloth and cotton to make quilts for the cold winter.

The two wild boars weigh more than 700 kilograms in total. If they were sold in town, they could be sold for about 8 taels. The mall gave 15 taels, and the wild deer gave 50 taels!

Now that autumn has arrived, the price of cotton is not too expensive, but it still costs fifty cents per pound. If you buy the cotton and spin it yourself, you can spend more money on fabric and save some labor costs.

If you buy the finished product directly, the price will be one-third higher. Generally speaking, a finished quilt weighing 8 kilograms and measuring 1.5*2 meters will cost more than half an ounce.

可人家商城一床1.5*2m的八斤棉被才199，2.2*2.4m的十斤棉被才239！

It’s more cost-effective to buy from the mall!

"It's easy to buy, but how can I explain it?" Jiang Xiubai scratched his head.

Although they are all pure cotton quilts, the ones sold in the mall are finished products. As you can see in the pictures, the edges are sealed, so the quality is amazing!

How do you explain this?

"I have an immature suggestion." Jiang Xiaomi supported her chin with her small hand, her eyes sparkling.

……

Seven days later, the natural disaster mode was activated and entered a forty-eight-hour countdown.

The convoy heading to the provincial capital finally returned in a hurry and brought back a large amount of supplies.

These days, the village is racing against time to stock up on supplies, with three to four hundred people sweeping the mountains every day.

The small animals were so frightened that none of them dared to show their heads. The fish in the river were almost completely caught out, and the wild vegetables in the mountains and the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forests were almost all dug up.

This led to Jiangjia Village——

The jars are full of vegetables, the room is full of firewood, the warehouse is full of grain, and the beams are full of cured fish and meat.

This season is not cold enough, and there is a risk of maggots when making cured meat and fish. Therefore, Jiang Yipei also specially converted a huge drying room at home and used firewood to bake day and night.

They felled trees, cut bamboos, repaired houses, built kangs, and even dug cellars for every household.

Based on his own experience, Old Master Jiang knew that Jiangjia Village would definitely be flooded even though it was located on high ground, so he had already transported most of the grain to Yunling Mountain two days ago.

Originally, Old Master Jiang wanted to organize the villagers to go to the town to buy things with the money they earned from selling the prey, but he was stopped by Jiang Yipei.

Old Master Jiang understood him, but he didn't say anything. His child was a promising young man and would not do anything foolish.

Every household has prepared enough food. If they live a normal life, there will be no problem in getting through a year easily. However, how do they preserve it?

In ancient times when there was no vacuum packaging, the shelf life of food would be greatly shortened, especially during heavy rains when every inch of the air was wet.
