Domineering Peasant Girl is Not Easy To Mess With

Chapter 10 Jiang's Abacus Failed

The old village chief Zhao said with a smile: "If you have any requirements, just say it. You can also say that you hunted this tiger. Of course, you have the final say."

Mo Yunshen smiled and said: "Old village chief, you know the situation of our family. Now we are planning to fence the yard and rebuild the house. Isn't it the rainy season soon? It’s easy. So this tiger is actually used as wages by us. We want to pick 60 strong young men, with 70 catties of tiger meat each, to help us build a house when the time comes. We want that tiger skin, If there is any leftover meat, internal organs, etc., please share with the old village chief."

The old village chief stroked his gray beard, nodded slowly after thinking for a moment, and gave Mo Yunshen a very approving look: "Well, I think this is very good. It's hard for you to think thoroughly! Well, let's do it like this The house and yard have been tidied up, let’s live a good life in the future, alas!”

"Thank you, old village chief! Don't worry, old village chief!" Mo Yunshen cupped his hands in thanks.

The old village chief sighed again, unwilling to reconcile, he couldn't help but said, "Well, Yun Shen, you really can't remember at all how you got here?"

Mo Yun rubbed his head deeply, with a bitter expression on his face, he smiled wryly and shook his head: "I really can't remember at all, and I look forward to remembering too!"

The old village chief nodded disappointed again, but he thought that his words were right, and he was naturally unwilling to forget everything like this.

"Success, wait, I'll find someone right away!"

He called his sons, grandsons, daughters-in-law, and once the old village head ordered them to go down, everyone hurriedly agreed to go out and call for them.

The old village chief has his own particulars in the selection of people. The first requirement is to be physically fit and able to work. Building a house here requires stone and wood, which is physical work.

Then try to take care of those families with a large population and food shortages.

They only invited sixty people. According to his description, the tiger weighed four to five thousand catties, and if they asked other people who didn't have any strong labor force, they would send two people to carry it, and they could share ten catties and eight catties in the end.

Soon, hundreds of people were called together, and they happily followed Mo Yunshen to transport the tiger.

Ms. Mu Qingya and her brother stayed at the village head's house to wait.

It seems that the tiger was hunted in the village three years ago. Everyone was naturally excited.

After all, that guy is too big and too ferocious, even a dozen or so adult tigers will have no chance of winning against it.

The reason why it was able to hunt three years ago was mainly because it was a young tiger, weighing only a few hundred catties.

This time, it's a big guy!

When everyone pulled the tiger back to the square in the center of the village, there was still the last glow of sunset in the sky.

Countless spectators gathered in the square.

One by one, everyone was very envious, and they all said that Mu Qingli and the others were so lucky, this is simply a bargain.

There is a canal flowing by the side of the square, and there is a pool of about six or seven square meters built with bluestone slabs. The tigers that everyone hauled back were disemboweled by the pool.

The stone knives were sharp, and several people started at the same time, intending to peel the skin first, then cut open and divide the meat.

The villagers are all hunters, and they often hunt in groups on the outskirts of the big forest, and occasionally venture a little further inside, so it is very easy to do this kind of work.

Jiang Shi and Mu Zhihong stood at the front, and the two of them were smiling, especially Jiang Shi, who smiled so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, and he completely regarded the fierce tiger as his own prey.

Seeing several young and middle-aged men holding sharp stone knives and preparing to peel their skins, Jiang said "Hey" and waved at them, and said loudly: "Be careful when you do it, don't damage the skins, if you break them, turn around." I'm not very good at making clothes!"

Several young and middle-aged men agreed in haste.

Some people also subconsciously glanced at Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen, seeing that they didn't seem to hear or say anything.

Mrs. Jiang is Mu Qingli's stepmother. Filial piety is the first thing to do. This is a sentence that all the villagers learned at a very young age and have been instilled all the time. No one thinks that Mrs. Jiang's words are wrong.

What's more, Mu Fangping glared triumphantly at the three siblings, Mu Qingli, and raised her chin with a soft hum.

On the other hand, Mu Qingya couldn't hold back her breath, her thin and thick eyebrows were about to explode when she raised her thin and thick eyebrows, Mo Yunshen patted her on the shoulder with a smile and shook her head at her, so she endured it.

As for Mu Qingli, she just sneered in her heart.

When the tiger skin was almost peeled, Jiang greeted Mu Zhihong happily, and when he was about to reach out to pull the tiger skin over and send him home, the old village chief finally came walking with his hands behind his back.

"Put this tiger skin aside first." The old village head pointed to the open space beside him.

Both Jiang Shi and Mu Zhihong were startled.

"Oh, old village chief, this is our family's stuff, why put it here, we'll send it home right away, so as not to take up space!" Jiang said with a smile.

Mu Zhihong's younger brother, Mu Zhizhong, and Mu Zhizhong's daughter-in-law Cui Shi also squeezed forward, echoing Jiang Shi with a smile, and expressing their willingness to help Mu Zhihong and Jiang Shi.

This piece of tiger skin is not small, and the tiger fur is thick and long, how can I get a piece of it for myself? Make two vests in winter, and the corners can also be made into insoles. Thinking about it, I feel warm.

The old village chief put on a paralyzed face and was expressionless, pointing to the side and repeating: "Leave it there."

Jiang Shi and Mu Zhihong were all stunned.

But no one dared to disobey the words of the old village chief, so they had to retreat with a smile.

In the village, the old village head is equivalent to the emperor of the soil, and he must do what he says - what he says, others must do.

Thinking of something, Jiang turned her head to look at Mu Qingli, and gave her a hard look. Mu Qingli put on a blank face, and didn't even bother to return her eyes.

Mu Qingli would never do such a boring thing.

"Okay, let's divide the tiger meat now. The sixty people I asked someone to find before, each weighs seventy catties. Let's go home after receiving it."

The old village chief sat down on a long stone bench beside him, and said in a leisurely manner.

Jiang Shi and Mu Zhihong looked at each other and were stunned again: What sixty people? What seventy catties?

When the couple heard that Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen picked up a big tiger through shit luck, they took it as their own, and they had already figured out how to eat the tiger meat.

The family must leave a few hundred catties, marinate it and eat it slowly, and give some of the rest as a favor - as for that dead girl Mu Qingli, I have to give some, lest people say that they are mean parents.

There is still most of the rest, which is used for exchange, which is enough for daily life for more than a year.

There is no such thing as silver or copper coins in this village, only barter for things.

It can be exchanged now or by appointment.

Exchanging now means exchanging at the moment, and exchanging by appointment means—for example, I will give you 50 catties of meat right now, and later your family will give me 100 catties of various vegetables, and it will be settled when it is finished.

They planned very well, they didn't want to be beaten back by the old village head when they made the first move, how could they bear it?

"Old village chief, what, what's going on here? This - it's obviously us -"
