Sleep until you wake up naturally. No emperor would change this kind of carefree life!
After walking out of the room, I stretched and watched Butler Lu instruct the servants to knock down the small icicles under the eaves one by one with bamboo poles. It was quite interesting.
"Old Lu, what are you doing? Is there a clanging sound in the morning?" Xiao Han walked up behind Butler Lu and asked aloud.
Butler Lu was gesticulating when he was almost startled by Xiao Han. When he turned around and took a look, he couldn't help but patted his chest and said: "Oh, my Lord Marquis, you are scary, scary to death! You are trying to scare this old slave to death!"
"Look at your courage! Are you scared by this? By the way, why did you think of hitting the ice skate today?"
"Master Hou, it's not that I remembered, but this morning the Liu family's boy was hit on the head by a falling ice skate! Fortunately, the ice skate was not big. I sent it to the Chinese miracle doctor to have a look, and he said it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. , should I let the people in Zhuangzi knock all these things off!"
"Oh~" Xiao Han suddenly realized and touched his head unconsciously. An ice skate bigger than a carrot hit his head. It hurt just thinking about it!
The master and servant clasped their hands and looked at each other for a while. Xiao Han suddenly remembered that Li Shentong was here, so he said to Butler Lu: "Where was that boy Li Shentong last night? Why didn't you see him come out this morning?"
Butler Lu smiled and said, "Master Marquis, please ask the young master of the Li family. He went home early this morning and said that they had distinguished guests coming to their house today and they did not dare to delay!"
"Oh, that's it!" Xiao Han nodded. He originally wanted to see him off, meet Li Jing on the way, and ask him about Ren Qing. However, he had a distinguished guest, so he couldn't visit him anymore. He could only Press temporarily.
After watching Icicle Knocking, Butler Lu took advantage of Xiao Han's free time today and asked him for his advice on the New Year. The morning passed quickly.
In the afternoon, small merchants and hawkers appeared on the main road of Xiaojia Zhuangzi from time to time, leading donkeys or driving ox carts to deliver the things Xiao Han ordered yesterday. For a while, the usually quiet Zhuangzi became lively.
When people who deliver things arrive at the village, their first impression is that it is clean! A long cement road, it seems that it has not been paved to the end, there is no debris at all!
On both sides of the road, there are neat large brick houses, and almost every house has a few pieces of meat hanging under the window. Is it possible that everyone here can eat meat?
Before the surprise was over, there was another commotion at the intersection. A group of half-year-old children rushed over shouting and shouting: "It's not good, it's not good! The big pig is attacking the city." !”
Once you hear this, you will know that you have become obsessed with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!
At Zhuangzikou, the butcher drove a dozen pigs and walked for a long time before arriving at Xiaojiazhuangzi. One of his legs was almost broken. When he came to Zhuangzi, his calves were trembling. He leaned against the wall for a long time. Take a break.
He had no choice but to collect these pigs one by one yesterday, and it was not easy to get the number Xiao Han asked for!
The number was enough, but when it was his turn to deliver the goods, the man suddenly remembered that if he killed them and then sent them over, not to mention that several cars would not be able to pull them! Even if it works, how much effort will it take? How much does it cost?
A man is a real person! Even if the employer doesn't care about money, if you can save a penny, it's just one penny. At worst, it's like chasing ducks. Isn't it just a matter of chasing ducks?
Just do it, pull out the whip that drives the donkey, eat enough food, drink enough water, and start driving the pigs!
Not to mention, it is quite easy to drive pigs in crowded places. Maybe the pigs are also afraid of people, so they just turn wherever they are told. There were no mistakes all the way to Chang'an, which surprised the generals guarding the gate!
The man was waving his whip, feeling extremely proud, but who would have thought that as soon as they left Chang'an Gate and came to the wilderness, these beasts would immediately change their temper, Gong Gong, Wen Wen, and they would not move forward!
The man was anxious and whipped him...
This time we were in trouble, the pigs scattered in all directions! Four short legs, one of them can run very fast, and they run in all directions! That scene! Tsk tsk...
When the man saw this scene, he almost fainted and fainted! Fortunately, there were other food delivery people accompanying us. Seeing this, they came up to help, and then the escaped pigs were reunited!
Along the way, with the help of everyone, the man finally came to Xiaojiazhuangzi. After resting for a while, he finally recovered. He walked over and bowed to the helpers one by one, thanking them for their help. Otherwise, today , he must be killed by these beasts!
The people in Xiaojiazhuangzi were very kind. Some people brought hot water from the house for them to drink and warm themselves up. Some even asked the young man who was turning blue from the cold to come in and warm himself up.
After the visitor thanked him again and again, he took the bowl and drank the steaming water in one gulp, but he refused to go to his home to rest.
I came to deliver the goods myself. I was wearing tattered clothes and a pair of shoes with many holes in them. I was embarrassed when I stepped on other people's concrete streets. How could I have the nerve to go to other people's homes and ruin it! Besides, if I don’t get the money, I feel unsure after all!
The food was weighed on a large scale. According to the instructions of the Marquis, why not take advantage of Kuhaha? Don’t worry about the weight of one pound! After passing the scale, the hawker went to the counting room table next to him to take out the money. The copper plates, all yellow and orange, were strung with rattan threads and put into the bag. It was so heavy that it made people happy!
The weighing process was very fast, until after the whole cart of sugar cane was finished, only the man selling pork was left.
Uncle Fool was just about to carry the big pig to the biggest scale with a few old guys, but the man who killed the pig quickly stopped him.
"Old brothers, old brothers! Don't be busy! That day the little brother went to my place and paid the price of pork. It was calculated as a whole pig, so that little brother lost money! The skin and bones , the internal organs are worthless!” The man was so anxious that his face turned red. You have to give people what they buy. Where can you do this deceptive business?
The stupid uncles were startled, put down the snarling big fat pig, and asked the man: "Then tell me, what do you call this?"
"Brothers, look, I'm not bringing a knife with me. I thought about it before I came. Anyway, I'm buying meat to prepare for Yuan Day. I'll kill the pig right here! Where's the pig's head? You can take it. To pay homage to the ancestors, the pig bones can be used to make soup. If you want these two things, I will sell them at a cheap price. As for the pig skin and pig internal organs, if you want them, you can keep them without any money. If you don’t want them, I will take them back, okay?"
Xiao Han was listening outside the crowd at this time. Hearing how sincere this man was, he couldn't help but nod his head. People in the Tang Dynasty were so particular about sincerity even for a trafficker and a lackey. If the Tang Dynasty did not prosper, it would be a big mistake!
Calling Xiaodong to whisper, Xiaodong nodded, separated everyone and went to Uncle Lengzi, whispered a few words to Uncle Lengzi, and then Uncle Lengzi smiled and said to the man: "Okay, that's fine! We can Although I can kill a pig, it is not very efficient. The meat always tastes like blood! Today you are here professionally, so that we can open our eyes. Let’s go to the field over there, where the pigs were killed before. !
After that, Uncle Lunzi and others helped drive the pigs towards the field, followed by a large group of people who were just watching the fun.
Ask a few people to lift the first pig to a stone platform and put the copper basin in place. The man wanted to tie the pig with a rope at first, but Uncle Fool said: It is too slow to tie up so many pigs. It's already dark, so we old guys can hold it down for you!
Watching several muscular old men catching pigs as if they were catching docile Mianyang, the man admired and explained to several people how to insert a knife to bleed cleanly. He raised the knife with his hand and put it down, and the sharp knife penetrated the pig's neck. This caused the surrounding children to scream in surprise!
When the knife went down, the fat pig was obviously struggling hard, but no blood spurted out from the edge of the knife. The man stirred the pig's neck with the knife, pulled out the knife like lightning, and bit it with his teeth! At the same time, he grabbed the pig's ears with both hands and dragged it to the edge of the stone platform, and began to bleed into the basin.
Bright red pig blood flowed down like a stream. The pig struggled desperately, but was crushed to death by a few old men next to it! I can only open my mouth and cry!
The crowd cheered loudly, stimulated by the blood. No one noticed that the pigs standing in the corner over there heard the wails of the same kind and obviously became commotion!
The biggest pig inside, a huge pig weighing three to four hundred kilograms, ran over looking for the noise. When it saw the pig-killer, it screamed and rushed over with a roar!
Xiao Han, who was watching the excitement with relish, never thought that a pig could be so powerful when charging!
The round little eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, the four hooves as big as bowls were flying up and down, and the big pig's mouth was drooling, looking crazy!
Uncle Lunzi and the others watched the big fat pig charging towards them. They did not dare to frustrate its edge, so they could only dodge in a hurry. But at this moment, the pig that had already lost its strength on the table also came back to life. Taking advantage of this gap, Get up, jump off the stone platform and run!
"Pig...the pig ran away again..." A little girl bit her finger and shouted blankly.
Ever since, Xiaojiazhuangzi’s pig-catching business has begun again...
