Mingxi took the broom with a bright smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law, sister-in-law is so kind to me!"
Tian Zhenzhen tried her best to put on a smile that wasn't ugly.
This difficult expression management almost made her face cramp, and at the same time she felt doubtful in her heart: How could my sister-in-law, a frail woman, catch a wild boar?
Could it be that her husband Mingsong caught him? It’s unlikely.
Knowing your husband is better than your wife. Tian Zhenzhen knows better than anyone that her husband is honest and honest and dare not cause trouble. If he encounters a wild boar, he will run faster than anyone else.
So what's going on?
Mingsong stopped here, wiped his sweat, and said to Tian Zhenzhen: "The wild boar that Axi caught is too big. You can ask the big and strong men to come over and help me carry it. I have to ask Butcher Zhang to inform him." One sound."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Tian Zhenzhen nodded, turned around and left, thinking that she could only wait until she finished killing the pig before asking her husband for more details.
Then I thought of the big wild boar, with its round belly, fat butt, and four strong pig trotters... Since the sister-in-law caught it, then, as the sister-in-law, a taste is not too much for her, right? (suck)
…………
The peaceful small mountain village exploded, and the boss of the Ming family dragged back a big wild boar!
The villagers rushed to tell each other, and within half an hour, the door of Butcher Zhang’s house was crowded with people.
Butcher Zhang was over fifty, but his sword was still young. He and Ming Song worked together to drag the wild boar to a large stone platform in the yard, then lit three sticks of incense, bled the pig, then boiled water and shaved it. The movements are orderly.
Everyone crowded outside the yard to watch. There were several children riding on the wall, all staring at this rare pig killing scene. It was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Mingxi was also very curious.
She had seen people being killed, but she had never seen pigs being killed.
Ming Xi took her children and stood in the corner of the yard with Tian Zhenzhen. The three daughters hid behind her, covering their eyes and not daring to look. Tian Zhenzhen also looked nervous, but Ming Xi watched with gusto.
Such a big wild boar was gradually decomposed under the knife of Butcher Zhang. The head was a head, the legs were a leg, a large pot of internal organs, the front shoulders, back buttocks and belly, and the meat was regular.
After reading a set of procedures, it is really refreshing.
"Master Zhang, please divide these two pieces of meat into one more piece." Ming Xi pointed to the two large pieces of hind butt meat and said, "Before, my family was short of food and clothing. Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, Fourth Aunt Liu, Sister Guihua, and Xiao Sister Qin has helped me, and now that our family has pork, we have to let them have a taste."
"Okay." Butcher Zhang responded and quickly divided the two thick pieces of pork butt into six even pieces. Each piece of meat weighed five or six kilograms.
Mingxi leaned close to Tian Zhenzhen's ear and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll keep the biggest and best piece of pork belly in the middle for you."
Tian Zhenzhen's face turned red, and she whispered: "...just stay, stay a little. You should stick to them first. After all, they have helped you."
Ming Xi chuckled, and with a glance from the corner of his eye, he happened to see Cao Guihua standing in the crowd of onlookers.
"That's great. Sister Guihua, it turns out you're here too, so I don't have to run to your house."
Mingxi immediately tied up the meat, picked up a bunch of meat, walked to Cao Guihua, and handed it to her.
"How can this be done? I, I just lent you four kilograms of brown rice. It's not worth anything..." Cao Guihua took the wild boar meat and felt sorry for it, but she really wanted to give the meat back but was reluctant to part with it. She felt very entangled.
Ming Xi still had a smile on her face, "Sister Guihua, you can't calculate it that way. Brown rice may not be as valuable as pork, but when you gave me brown rice, you saved my life and my daughter's life, so you must accept the meat!"
The onlookers praised him.
"This lady from the Ming family knows how to repay kindness."
"Before, some people said that Ming's wife has an emotional illness and is a little crazy. I see that Ming's wife is very efficient in speaking and doing things. Where is the madness?"
"Yes, those who have borrowed her food are in a good mood today. They can all eat meat."
"Mother He, I heard that the Ming family also asked you to borrow food, but you kicked it out with a big broom. Do you regret it today? There is no meat to eat~"
The old woman in the crowd was ridiculed and her face turned ugly.
"Who cares? A pound of pork only costs more than ten cents. Who can't afford pork!" Mrs. He said stiffly.
Several village women burst into laughter.
"Yesterday you were scolding your daughter-in-law for stealing eggs at the door of your home! You couldn't bear to pay two cents for eggs, but how could you be willing to pay for pork? Hahaha!"
Another young man said with a smile that was not too big a deal: "Ten dollars was last year's price. This year, the price of pork in the county has risen to twenty dollars per pound!"
After hearing this, Mrs. He became even more angry and scolded those people: "I can't afford it, how can you afford it?! Can't you just stand here and watch! Humph, you are all such worthless greedy people!"
After saying the cruel words, he left angrily.
However, these words reminded Ming Xi that the wild boar was so big that she, her three daughters, and her brother and sister-in-law's family could not finish the whole meal. It was better to sell it to the villagers cheaper.
Ming Xi looked at the villagers outside the yard and said in a loud voice: "Our family can't finish such a big wild boar, so why not do this? The pig's trotters and internal organs have been given to Butcher Zhang, and we keep the middle piece of pork belly for our own family. , if you want the remaining meat and pork blood and pork bones, I will sell them to you at a cheaper price."
She pointed to the divided wild boar and said, "Pork costs ten cents per catty, and blood and bones cost three cents per catty."
The young man who had just mocked Mrs. He jumped out and said happily: "Ten cents per catty? Isn't it like giving it away for free? I want two catties!"
Another village woman came out and said, "I also want to take advantage of the Ming family's wife and leave three catties of pork and two catties of bones for my family!"
"I want it too, I want it too! I want a pound of meat and a pound of pig blood!"
"I want two pounds of meat and two pounds of bones!"
The scene suddenly became heated, and everyone crowded into the courtyard.
Butcher Zhang raised his butcher knife, waved it mightily, and shouted loudly: "Everyone line up! Buy one by one, no trouble!"
The fifty-year-old butcher was quite prestigious in the village, and the villagers were immediately in order.
Ming Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect meat to be so attractive.
She lifted more than 20 kilograms of pig buttocks in her hands and gave the meat that couldn't be lifted to Ye'er and Manjing. Then she turned to Tian Zhenzhen and said: "Sister-in-law, I'm going to deliver meat to the Zhao family and the Liu family. You and the eldest brother Just stay here and collect the money.”
After saying that, he took his three daughters and left in a hurry. Tian Zhenzhen didn't even have time to respond.
"This Sangmenxing..." Tian Zhenzhen stamped her foot on the spot, "It's so heartless that she asked others to collect money for her, and she wasn't afraid that others would be greedy for her money!"
Mingsong shouted to her not far away: "Zhenniang! Zhenniang! Three pounds of meat and two pounds of pig blood, how much money is it? My mind is going crazy."
"Thirty-six cents!" Tian Zhenzhen walked over with a look of disgust and pushed her husband aside. "I'll settle the accounts. You go find a gourd and gourd to hold the pig's blood! Big Zhuang and Er Zhuang, go and see how many people are still waiting in line. people!"
Alas, this unlucky brother and sister in this stall, how could they do without her!
