"Hahahaha," Sun Butcher was amused by Xu Ling's reaction, and said proudly: "My father-in-law raises a lot of pigs at home, and he is afraid of being targeted by thieves, so he specially hired a good dog bought to come back to guard the door. Not only the black ones, but also Rhubarb, Four Eyes, and several dogs, all of them are capable of giving birth!”
Heizi seemed to know that Butcher Sun was talking about it, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail.
Butcher Sun walked two steps slowly and whispered to Xu Ling: "My father-in-law is capable of giving birth, and so are the domestic animals."
"Pfft..." Xu Ling couldn't help but laugh.
But when He Dajia came out after a while, he was followed by a large group of children, including children of almost all ages, all looking at Xu Ling with big and small eyes.
He was a little panicked, and suddenly understood why Butcher Sun said such things.
The pig farmer He has a large family. Although he raises seventy or eighty pigs, he cannot bear to have twenty or thirty people in his family.
There are so many children, as well as pigs, dogs, chickens, and ducks, and the amount of chewing they spend on eating in a day is enough to scare the average person.
Therefore, Butcher Sun introduced Xu Ling, a big customer, and was immediately warmly welcomed by He Dajia.
He Dajia was older than Gu Litian, and the two of them smiled and talked. When they talked about the purpose of this trip, He Dajia did not delay and directly asked Xu Ling how big a pig he wanted.
Xu Ling said: "The one with two hundred pounds is the best."
A 200-pound pig is just enough for the slaughter, but not too old.
Without thinking, He Dajia took them to pick pigs and scolded the children not to follow. They stopped, but Heizi's group of brats staggered after them.
While watching the pigs, one of the little black dogs bit the corner of Xu Ling's trousers lively and let out a snarling sound.
Xu Ling rolled it around with his feet. It thought Xu Ling was playing with it, and called several puppies to bite Xu Ling's pants.
He Dajia jumped into the pig pen, picked up the ears of a big fat pig and pulled it over to show Xu Ling: "Do you like a thin one or a fatter one? How about this one?"
The pig weighed a hundred or two hundred pounds and was quite big, but it was like a little chicken under He Dajia's hands. It roared heartbreakingly but could not break free at all.
Xu Ling didn't quite understand. He was very energetic when he heard the pig's meowing. He saw that it was white and rosy, and it was quite handsome. Gu Litian also nodded and praised He Dajia for raising good pigs.
"Hiss..." Xu Ling's cloth shoes were almost bitten through by the little puppy's teeth. He said quickly: "Okay, okay, I trust Brother Sun, I want this one. Please kill him and send him to my home."
He Dayou marked the pig, turned it over and said to Gu Litian with a smile: "Your son-in-law will be very happy after he improves. I like him, but it's a pity that my daughters are all married!"
After that, he picked up the two puppies that were entangled with Xu Ling and saved him from the fire and water.
"Do you want puppies? If so, I'll give you a few!"
"This dog is a good dog. I won't give it to the villagers if they want it! I can't raise it!"
As He Dajia spoke, he released one of the little black dogs and opened the mouth of the little black dog to let Xu Ling see its teeth. The canine teeth were sharp and the puppy's tongue was pure black.
This is an authentic pastoral dog.
Xu Ling also liked these furries in his previous life, but because raising dogs in the city was a kind of torture, he never dared to keep them with a responsible attitude.
When I was pestered and bitten just now, I always wanted to bend down and play with them, and I had no intention of choosing pigs at all.
At this moment, He Dajia took the initiative to mention it, and he quickly said: "I happen to need a few guard dogs at home. If Uncle He is willing to give me a few, that would be great!"
"Hahaha, I also think there are too many mouths in my family. These few like you, so give them all to you!"
He Dajia grabbed the three puppies with his big hand and pinched all the three puppies that were entangled with Xu Ling. The dogs meowed in a sweet voice, and Heizi gathered around the owner's legs and waggled his tail, as if he knew that the separation was imminent.
Three puppies were placed in bamboo baskets by their legs. Xu Ling and Gu Litian were waiting in the yard. He Dajia and Butcher Sun went to pull out the selected pigs and weighed them first. The total weight was 216 catty.
At the end of the year, the market price of a pound of pork was 28 Wen per pound. He Dajia gave Xu Ling the lowest price, which was 25 Wen per pound, which was more than five taels of silver per head.
Xu Ling paid the money on the spot, and He Dajia tied up the pig, and he and Butcher Sun carried it on bamboo poles to Butcher Sun's house for slaughter.
Xu Ling followed with Gu Litian, holding a basket of puppies.
When we arrived at Butcher Sun's house, his wife came back from selling pork. She heated hot water in a pot and tied the pig to a long bench. The meat-cutting knife was sharpened on the whetstone. While they were talking and laughing, the pigs squealed by the river. Gradually it died down.
"This pork is really good. Can I share it with you?"
Xu Ling stood aside without changing his expression and watched Butcher Sun butchering the pigs. After hearing this, he asked him to divide the pork, while his wife cleaned up the pigs.
Farmers are not particular about not eating water. If these things are washed clean, many people will like the dishes they make.
Before Xu Linglin went out, Fan Shiqing specially told him to have the pig tails wrapped so that he could eat the braised pig tails. They were rich in meat and chewy. He had been craving this for many years.
Butcher Sun cut up the pork, but Xu Ling and Gu Litian couldn't take it, so Butcher Sun called his son out and took him to Xu Ling's home with him.
A whole pig was cleaned up by Butcher Sun's family in less than half an hour. Xu Ling looked at his son again. He was only fourteen years old, with big muscles and a round waist, and he looked like a... Bah, a fierce man.
Butcher Sun and Gu Litian were carrying bamboo baskets. In the baskets were divided hoofs, elbows and ribs.
Butcher Sun's son was holding a small basket filled with pig offal and offal. Xu Ling was the most leisurely, holding a basket of puppies, and the others walked home laughing and chatting.
On the way, Xu Ling asked Butcher Sun to look for two fat sheep. Butcher Sun agreed with heartfelt approval. It happened that his parents had sheep at home, so he sent them to Xu Ling when he turned around.
Xu Ling naturally agreed.
Several people returned to the village and passed under the big banyan tree in the village. Many people in the village were sitting under the tree, working and chatting. There were various seeds in the dustpan, picking out the insect-bitten ones, half-broken ones, and various small ones. Stone.
Save the best ones as seeds for spring plowing.
You don’t need to think about this matter. Once you get familiar with it, you can do two things. It’s just tedious. You can only choose carefully. But your head and mouth are so lonely that you need to talk about something new and exciting to make this boring. Things aren't that boring.
What a coincidence, when Xu Ling came back, they were chatting about Xu Ling.
There were a lot of people in the village talking about this matter this morning. Just as Gu Litian was worried, some people were unhappy when they returned home.
Their things were good, how could Xu Ling take so much money from the sales?
"In my opinion, he just deliberately defrauded you of your money. We suffered the pain of working, and he took all the benefits! You are the only ones who are stupid to believe his nonsense!"
