The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 916 Selling Wild Boars

I was lucky today. I shot a total of 5 wild boars in the wild boar forest and came back. The raised corners of Li Orion's mouth never dropped.

Although two wild boars are smaller, weighing only about 100 kilograms, the five wild boars added together weigh more than 5 kilograms.

In recent years, things have been going well, and the court has encouraged land reclamation, causing prices to rise a bit.

The price of wild boar has also increased from 11 Wen per catty to 12 Wen per catty now.

Li Orion silently calculated that these five wild boars together could be sold for about ten taels of silver.

Thinking of this, I felt even happier.

The Li family seems to have many people who can make money, but there are also many places to spend money.

The younger son Li He will also get married in two years.

Dashan Village belongs to the mountains and has very few fields. Most people are not willing to marry into them.

And more girls in the village marry outside.

Boys in the village have to spend a lot of money to get a wife. In the future, Li He will also spend a lot of money to get married.

After getting married, you still have to raise children, which requires money both inside and outside.

Li Orion thought that his two sons were not as good at hunting as him, so he wanted to save more money while he was young so that he could help out in the future.

In fact, he also knows that hunting is not a long-term livelihood.

Guo'er will marry into the Ye family at the end of the year. When he gets older, it will be quite dangerous for his two sons to go hunting in the mountains.

Orion Li wanted to save more money and help his two sons find a stable career in the future.

Orion Li sighed, "Children are debts."

It takes more than two hours to get to the county from Dashan Village. When we arrived at the gate of the county, the sun had already set on the top of the mountain.

After paying two cents for the city fee, Li Orion hurriedly drove the donkey cart to the Liang Family Restaurant.

Shopkeeper Liang was shocked when he saw so many wild boars and gave him a thumbs up.

"Orion is really good at it."

Li Orion was very modest, "No, no, this is what I and my three children did together. It's not my fault alone."

Although the business of Liang's restaurant was good, they couldn't eat these five big wild boars, so shopkeeper Liang only ordered two big ones.

This was because the chef in the restaurant wanted to marinate some bacon, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat these two big fat pigs.

The two wild boars total 431 kilograms, 12 taels per kilogram, a total of 5 taels and 172 kilograms.

Li Orion sent the remaining three wild boars to other restaurants, but most other restaurants only had half of them.

After visiting several restaurants in a row, Orion Li sold all the wild boars.

The remaining three wild boars were smaller, weighing 452 kilograms in total, and sold for a total of 5 taels and 424 Wen.

Added together, the five wild boars were sold for a total of 5 taels, 10 Wen.

Li Orion only ate two dry pancakes on the way, and when he came out of the restaurant, his stomach growled.

The food in the restaurant was expensive, and he was not willing to spend money to eat in the restaurant. He bought a few meat buns on the roadside and rushed home.

Seeing that it was getting late, Orion Li drove the donkey cart so fast that the donkey's hooves were almost going to smoke.

Halfway through, it became completely dark.

The moon in the sky is as curved as a sickle, and the light is very dim, making it almost impossible to see the road.

Fortunately, Li Orion was prepared and took out a torch from the donkey cart.

The light of the torch barely illuminated the road ahead, and the donkey walked slowly on the road.

There was no one on the road at this time, and the trees and grass in the distance were shaking and making whirring sounds from time to time.

Looking at the swaying trees not far away, Orion Li felt a gust of wind and felt a little nervous.

Suddenly he heard some crows cawing, and Li Orion unconsciously swiped the whip on the donkey's back, wanting to go home quickly.

The donkey was in pain and immediately sped up a lot. After a while, it returned to the entrance of the village.

When Li Orion returned home with a torch, Li Guoer and the others had already had dinner and were all waiting eagerly for his return.

The first people to notice his return were the three dogs at home. They were waiting at the door with their heads and tails wagging before anyone came in.

As soon as Orion Li entered the door, he was a little flattered to see the whole family waiting for him at the door.

Seeing everyone at home waiting for him to come back, Li Orion felt very warm.

As soon as he entered the door, before he could stand still, Li Guoer pulled him over.

"Dad, how much did those five wild boars cost?"

Orion Li: "..."

This little cotton-padded jacket has some air leakage.

"Yes, yes, how much did it cost?" Li Feng also looked at him expectantly.

"Let's talk when we get back, why are you in a hurry." Yang closed the door and hurriedly urged a few people into the house.

Back in the hall, with everyone's expectations, Orion Li took out the money from the wild boar.

"The five wild boars were sold for a total of 5 taels, 10 Wen."

"so much!!"

Li Guoer was very happy when he heard that these wild boars were sold for ten taels of silver.

Li Feng and Li Guoer were silently calculating how much money they could get.

This wild boar was caught by 4 people, with an average of 2 taels and 649 wen per person.

From this money, Li Feng and Li Guoer can get 40% as their own private money.

After total calculation, each brother and sister can get 1059 Wen.

As soon as Li Guoer finished the calculation, Yang on the side handed over the money, and it was the same as she calculated.

The brother and sister who got their private money were very happy. This 1059 articles is equivalent to 35 months of pocket money.

One tael of silver is already more than many people earn in a month. Although hunting is a bit more dangerous, it is indeed a profitable business.

As for Li He and Lin Orion on the side, they were very envious.

God is so unfair. There are so many rich people, why can't there be one more like me?

The father and son turned around and said all sorts of nice things to Li Feng and Li Guoer.

The two people who got the money were very happy and secretly gave Li Orion and Li He some pocket money behind Yang's back.

Li Guoer treated everyone equally, and the father and son gave each of them 15 cents.

Li Feng, on the other hand, had to support his own small family, so he had to be stingy and paid 10 Wen per person.

The two people who got the extra pocket money were so happy that they almost grinned to the back of their ears.

The brother and sister have been secretly giving them pocket money since they got their personal money last year.

The four of them had agreed in private that no one would tell anyone about it, as they all thought Yang didn't know.

However, the fact that the father and son took the money to Li Xiang'er's grocery store to buy snacks and drinks has long been exposed.

Li Xiang'er knew exactly how much pocket money the two had, and the extra money had already been discussed with Yang in private.

Yang actually knew that the two of them had extra pocket money.

However, Yang did not say anything, but deliberately found fault. For several months, he deliberately deducted half of the pocket money of the father and son.

Only the father and son were foolish enough to think that they were hiding it well.

In fact, Li Xianger and Yang already knew how much money they had.
