Chapter 23 Rising to Fame (for collection)
When the villagers arrived with sticks and machetes, the vicious tiger had already fallen to the ground and died.
Although there are relatively more wild beasts in this year, fierce beasts like tigers are still rarely seen.
And this kind of beast, when facing it alone, few people can retreat completely, let alone kill it alone.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Qi shot a round of quick arrows first, and then rushed over to shoot a hatchet. This beast is finished!
In the eyes of these villagers looking at Xiao Qi, there is nothing but respect now.
Xiao Qi saw that among the villagers, someone was actually holding a boning knife.
Asked: "Is this old man a butcher?"
The man hastily saluted: "Don't dare to take it, go back to the owner, the young Li Er is indeed a butcher."
"Then please help me peel off the tiger's skin, remove the tiger's bones, and share the tiger meat with everyone."
After a pause, Xiao Qi added: "Whose family this sheep belongs to? Give him more tiger meat as compensation."
Everyone even said they didn't dare, they originally thought that they could drive this vicious tiger away, and it would be good if they didn't harm the neighbors here.
Now that Xiao Qi shot this vicious tiger, he even gave them the tiger meat!
Although none of these people had eaten tiger meat in their ancestors, and they all wanted to try it, but they knew that they did not contribute much, and they didn't know if they were just being polite, so they all refused.
Chang Zhuang also didn't understand what this young Zhuang Zhu, who was not much older than his son, meant.
Come over to be polite to Xiao Qi, just say thank you to Xiao Zhuangzhu for helping the neighbors get rid of the harm, the neighbors are grateful, so the tiger meat should not be divided.
Xiao Qi waved his hand indifferently:
"Brother Chang must know that Xiao can also eat game on weekdays. This tiger meat Xiao is really for everyone to share. They each go back and cook a pot of tiger meat soup. The family will be shocked after drinking it."
After listening to Xiao Qi's words, Chang Zhuang also understood, what he said was very clear, meaning that there was no shortage of wild game at home.
This tiger is really for everyone to share, it's not a courtesy.
So Zhuang Zhuang clasped his fists together: "Brother Xiao Gaoyi!"
He turned his head and shouted: "Li Er, carefully peel off the tiger's skin and bones for Mr. Xiao, and be careful not to damage the tiger's skin!
Everyone who came today has a share, and everyone will share a piece of tiger meat back. "
After speaking, Master Chang asked Xiao Qi to come to the side, and waited for Li Er to finish skinning and share the tiger meat with everyone.
On the other hand, he pulled Xiao Qi into an enthusiastic friendship.
The two were not familiar before, that is, after they had the same name, they narrated how far apart the fields of their two families were, where there were adjacent fields, and so on.
Xiao Qi just checked his field with the former owner and Li Zheng when he was buying the Zhuangzi, and got to know the ten or so tenants who farmed the fields, but he seldom worried about other things.
During the chat between the two, Xiao Qi knew that the other party's name was Chang Yunfeng, whose name was Mingxiao.
Xiao Qi also reported his own name, but his handwriting was very grand, the name was Yunda specially asked by his father, and he only hoped that his son would be able to soar into the sky one day.
This Li's craftsmanship was really good. In a short time, a intact tiger skin was peeled off, and the tiger meat was distributed to the villagers.
Li Er held the tiger skin wrapped in the tiger bone and presented it to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi took it and said:
"I've always heard that the offal is for the butcher, so you can take the tiger's offal too."
Li Er thanked Xiao Qi again, and happily returned to the crowd holding his things.
Chang Yunfeng's tiger meat was kept by the people he brought, but Xiao Qi saw a bunch of objects among his pile of tiger bones.
Take a closer look, it's a tiger whip!
Turning to Chang Yunfeng, he said, "Brother Mingxiao, you should take this bunch of things away too, I don't like this stuff!"
Chang Yunfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't care less about politeness: "Big brother will take advantage of brother Yunda in this way!"
This guy took out the sweat towel he carried with him from his arms, carefully wrapped it up and held it tightly in his hands, for fear of running away.
Xiao Qi saw that everyone had packed up, so he took his horse, turned over and rode on it, said goodbye to everyone with his tiger skin and tiger bones, and rode home.
Zhang Xiu, who had been waiting for news behind the gate, heard the sound of horseshoes and hurriedly opened the door, only to see that it was indeed her man who had returned.
She also let out a long breath, now Xiao Qi is her only support, if something happens to Xiao Qi, she really doesn't know how to survive.
At the door of the house, Xiao Qi got off the horse and handed the tiger skin and bones to Zhang Xiu, asking her to deal with these things before going to fix the horse by herself.
After receiving the tiger skin and bones, Zhang Xiu wondered, "Didn't the officials just go there for a while? Was this tiger beaten to death by the villagers?"
While unloading the saddle, Xiao Qi told his little daughter-in-law how he killed the tiger.
Zhang Xiu heard that her man was not in danger, so he happily removed the tiger skin and processed the tiger bones.
On the second day, Xiao Qi was busy for most of the day.
As for why he was so busy, of course it was to steam out some high-quality wine, so that he could make tiger bone wine.
The skeleton of this whole tiger is not small.
Although this is only a small South China tiger, using these tiger bones to brew hundreds of large jars of tiger bone wine is considered extremely luxurious.
Zhang Xiu watched Xiao Qi take out the wine he had collected and tinker with it again. He saw that the wine became much less after steaming.
Although he was reluctant, Xiao Qi said that only high-quality wine that has been steamed is suitable for soaking those tiger bones, so he had no choice but to let Xiao Qi steam the wine again.
This time Xiao Qi also made a special trip to order a batch of hundreds of high-quality wine jars that can hold ten catties of wine.
In order to distinguish them in the future, these good wines soaked in tiger bones.
After buying hundreds of wine jars again, only a little over 1000 taels of the 80 taels given by the system gift package were left in his hands.
Xiao Qi sighed, it's really not good to sit and eat, you have to find a way to make money!
It's just that this wine can't be used to make money yet, because this kind of wine will definitely be regarded as a peerless wine, and I don't know how many dignitaries will care about it.
When I don't have enough deterrent power, it's better not to exchange this kind of thing for money!
But seeing that the money in his hand was about to be spent, the gold and silver in Zhang Xiu's hand were determined to be used for future crisis prevention, and they could not be moved at ordinary times.
After thinking about it, Xiao Qi felt that if he had to sell wine, he could only sell low-alcohol wine that had not been distilled, and he could not sell high-alcohol wine.
Although Xiao Qi was worried at home that he would have no money in the future.
But outside, the name of Xiao Qi and Xiao Yunda has gradually spread.
These days, being able to single-handedly and cleanly kill a fierce tiger is definitely a hero in the hearts of ordinary people.
The dozen or so tenants who were at a loss because of the change of owner at the beginning are no longer panicked, and they all feel that the owner will be a good one to rely on this time.
