The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 735 720 Four: Tieniuhou's family visits relatives (Part [-])
Hou Hongsheng's mother walked out of the yard and took a look, startled.

"My mother! There are really two pigs! Now I have meat again today.

Old man, come out quickly!Look, there are really two pigs in our yard!

Yo!These two pigs are not small!

His third brother-in-law, where did you get these two pigs? "

Hou Guantang also ran out of the house when he heard his wife's exclamation.

Seeing that there were indeed two pigs in the yard, after watching for a long time, Hou Guantang laughed and said, "Old lady!

You really don't understand eyes!

These are not domestic pigs, these are two wild boars!

You can see that the fangs in their mouths are about to grow out. "

Hou Guantang's wife laughed and said, "Let's take care of the pigs and wild boars, as long as they are pigs, there is meat to eat anyway."

"Well! What you said is really true!

I think there is no problem with eating pork this year.

Hongsheng, what are you waiting for if you don't hurry up and peel the skin with a knife!

Could it be that you let your brother-in-law and the others leave if they can't even eat pork? "

Hou Hongsheng promised and went to work immediately.

"Old woman, hurry up and set up a pot to boil water in the yard, and we will stew pork later!"

Hou Hongsheng's mother agreed and went to work.

At this moment, Hou Hongsheng's eldest brother-in-law and eldest sister brought over twenty eggs and a handful of leeks with their two children.

"Father-in-law, don't you have any good things to entertain guests at home?
I brought you twenty eggs and a handful of leeks, so you can scramble them an egg with leeks. "

When Hou Guantang saw that the eldest son-in-law and his family had come, he was really happy.

"You guys came just in time, you see Niu'er and the others have brought in two wild boars, isn't Hong Sheng skinning and slaughtering the meat there!

After a while, your family will also eat meat here!
well!To be honest, your family is suffering too!

I can't eat anything good this year! "

Hou Hongsheng's eldest brother-in-law took a look, ho!Sure enough, there were two pigs lying in the yard!

Then Hou Hongsheng was peeling the skin and picking the flesh!
Hou Hongsheng's eldest brother-in-law saw it and said with a smile: "These two pigs weigh more than 300 catties!

Now your family has meat again this year.

Dani!Ergou, your grandpa and his family now have delicious food again, you should remember to come and eat often! "

"Daddy, do you need to talk about it! Grandma's, isn't it ours!
You said that we don't help them eat, what a pity if it goes bad! "

Hou Guantang grinned when he heard this.

"With all of you here, my lord, I don't have any broken things!

Isn't it all cheap in the end, you little mouths!
Sometimes, my lord, I just can't figure it out! "

"Master, you don't grow any longer, what good food are you eating!

Why not keep it for us to eat!We are so filial to you when we grow up! "

Hou Hongsheng's eldest brother-in-law said to his wife: "The head of the house, hurry up and help our mother cook.

Our third brother-in-law finally came here, so we must cook them something delicious!After a while, our second sister and her family also came over.

Let's have a good reunion as a family!
Why!I said brother Niu'er, among our brothers, you are the only one who is promising.

Now that you're here, let's stay for a few more days!To be honest, our buddies can't get together once or twice a year!

Aren't there two pigs here!What's the problem if we cook a few dishes!

Brother, you wait, I have that jujube wine at home, I will bring two jars of wine right away! "

Tie Niu grinned.

"Brother-in-law, since you want to keep us here for one more day, that's fine, I have ten taels of silver here, you can go to town to buy some food and come back!
With so many of us, how can we get enough if we don’t get enough!

I'll go out and hunt some wild animals in a while, so let's have a good get together again buddies! "

With that said, Tie Niu took out ten taels of silver and handed it over.

"Brother, you are really generous! You are worthy of being an official!

Do you know how many things these ten taels of silver can buy!

The delicious food alone can buy a big car! "

"I don't care if you buy more or less, just watch and buy!
It's best to buy some refined rice and fine noodles. We're leaving, so we can leave them for our parents to eat!

To be honest, I'm afraid they can't eat anything at ordinary times!

well!I'm far away from guarding them here, and I can't take care of them much at ordinary times! "

The elder brother-in-law took the money and turned around and went out.

Tieniu looked at Hou Hongsheng skinning the wild boar, and said to Duan Wuji with a smile: "Brother, it looks like we won't be able to leave today, why don't we leave a day later!

Anyway, we are traveling, so what happens sooner or later!

I don't think this meat will be cooked in a short time!

There's nothing wrong here, so let's go out and hunt for a while!If you hit it, it counts, but if you can't hit it, you will fall down.

Both of us brothers go out on horseback, let's see who kills more prey! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "When we two brothers go out, there will be less prey? I'm afraid we two won't be able to get it back!"

Hou Hongsheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, you two, I'll finish this job in a while, I'll go with you, and then call my second brother-in-law, let's go four people, let's see how many we can get today wild animal!"

Just as I was talking, the second brother-in-law's family also arrived.

The second sister also took care of the two children, and the second sister's husband kept more than [-] salted duck eggs.

"Hey! Third brother-in-law, why are you here when you have time?

Come and stay for a few more days! "

The second sister greeted Tieniu as soon as she entered the yard.

Tieniu looked at the second sister's family and said with a smile: "Second sister, how are you doing this year?"

"Oh! What's the matter! It's fine if you don't go hungry. If you say a farmer's family, how good can it be!

The second sister's family can't compare with yours!

Your family is a wealthy family, while the second sister's family is a poor family! "

"Second sister, don't laugh at me, what kind of rich family is my family!

It's just a little bit better than your family.

If you regard our family as a wealthy family, then you are wrong. "

Hou Hongsheng put the wild boar meat piece by piece into the cauldron, put half of the raw meat into a vat, buried it with salt, and submerged it as bacon.

After finishing these, Hou Hongsheng said to his second sister: "You should set the fire to stew the meat, and after the meat is stewed, help the mother and the others bake pancakes and stir-fry vegetables!

Second brother-in-law, let's go!Let's follow them to fight pigs!

Let's bring the big pole and the rope, I will follow my third brother-in-law, you will follow my Brother Wuji, let's see what we get back today! "

Hou Guantang laughed and said, "You guys should go back early!

It won't take long for the meat to be cooked, so don't delay your meal. "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Don't worry! We won't forget about this matter. If we can catch the prey, it counts. If we can't catch the prey, we'll be back in a while."

Hou Hongsheng took out two ropes and two sticks from the house, and handed one of them to his second brother-in-law.

The four of them left immediately, and after leaving the door, the two groups separated, Tie Niu and Hou Hongsheng ran to the north, Duan Wuji and Hou Hongsheng's second brother-in-law ran to the northeast.

Holding the sword in his hand, Duan Wuji observed as he walked, carefully patrolling the prey in the mountains.

When I just walked into a small ravine, I ran into a group of wild goats head-on.

Duan Wuji caught up after seeing a leap, Hou Hongsheng's second brother-in-law saw it and said with a smile: "The wild goats are extremely fast, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up to them!
Tell me, don't you stop chasing them. "

Duan Wuji believes in that evil!As fast as lightning, they chased after them. The wild goats ran fast, but Duan Wuji's running speed was even faster. In just a moment, Duan Wuji caught up with them.

While Duan Wuji was running fast, he raised his sword and dropped it, with just one blow of the sword, the wild goat fell to the ground without moving!

Duan Wuji used his sword repeatedly!

Duan Changji stabbed a total of nine swords, and nine wild goats fell to the ground in response!
The other wild goats ran away in fright when they saw it!After a while, he ran away and disappeared.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "You can carry four young goats with a pole!

The remaining five-headed ones should be tied up with a rope and put on my horse!
Killing so many wild goats at once, this is enough for your family to eat for a while! "

"Brother, your running speed is too fast! I didn't expect it!

You actually caught up with them and killed so many of them all at once!

It seems that it is wrong to disobey an expert, and it is a crime to disobey an expert! "

The second brother-in-law was muttering while tying up the dead goats with ropes. After the goats were tied up, Hou Hongsheng's second brother-in-law threw the tied five big wild goats on the ground. The horse got on, and then he picked up the four young ibex with the pole.

"Oh! These four lambs are heavy enough, um, how come these four lambs weigh more than 100 catties!

When I pick it back, I have to get two and go home!

With so many sheep, how can their family eat it!

If you don't get two of them back, it would be too bad. "

The two of them didn't stay long, turned around and went straight to Hou Guantang's house.

When they arrived at Hou Guantang's house, Duan Wuji and Hou Hongsheng's second brother-in-law unloaded the wild goat corpses, then Duan Wuji tied up the horses, and immediately went back to the house to rest!
Duan Wuji lay on the kang, and soon fell asleep.

After Duan Wuji woke up, there were chattering chatter in the yard!
A scent of fragrance floated in from the yard, and it went straight to hook the greedy worms in people's stomachs!

Duan Wuji stood up and walked out!

I saw people everywhere in the yard, including the whole family of Laohou's family!
Tie Niu was sitting next to a table bragging. When Tie Niu saw Duan Wuji come out, he stopped bragging immediately.

"Brother, hurry up and sit down!"

Duan Wuji sat next to him, looked at Tieniu and said, "Brother Tieniu, did you two catch prey?"

Tie Niu laughed and said: "When we brothers go out, is there any reason to hunt prey! This time when we two brothers went out, we both hunted a big wild boar. It was a male wild boar, not more than four hundred catties Not much difference!

We both had a hard time getting it back, eh!Now they have meat to eat for the past two years.

well!Our two brothers are here, and their food problem has been solved at once.

In this small mountain village, meat is often eaten this year, which is also a good day.

Just now I divided the pig among the three of them, and each family divided more than 100 catties of meat!

Now I am completely relieved. "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"That's all right. The relative's family's life difficulties have been solved, so that's fine."

Hou Guantang walked over with a smile.

"Tie'er! Wuji! Let's eat dumplings tonight, and they are all meatball dumplings!

Tonight we will eat mutton balls, and tomorrow morning we will eat pork ball dumplings. To put it bluntly, we will not be able to eat such good things during Chinese New Year! "

The time is not too long, the food is ready, Duan Wuji saw it, ho!Today's meal is too rich, it is a big bowl of fried meat, salted duck eggs, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried day lily, mutton stewed mushrooms!

A large stack of cakes was also brought, and a large bowl of consommé with dried cabbage.

Hou Hongsheng hurriedly poured a large bowl full of wine for the people, and then said with a smile: "Everyone sit down!

During the Chinese New Year, we didn't eat anything!

Let's all have a good meal today! "

The children stared eagerly at the food on the table. To be honest, the children were greedy for a long time. The children looked at the food on the table, their eyes were shining, they just wanted to eat!

Tieniu looked at his nephews and said, "You look so greedy, why don't you sit down and eat quickly."

As soon as the children heard that their third uncle had spoken, they all sat down immediately.

These children don't know what it means to be polite. They just picked up the pancake and ate the meat like a binge!

Seeing this, their parents smiled wryly and said, "Oh! Your eating habits are too embarrassing for our family!"

How can the children have the time to listen to these now!That's just stuffing it into your mouth!

Hou Guantang saw it and said with a smile: "Let's not worry about them, let's eat too!

This breakfast has turned into lunch, everyone must be starving.

You don't have to be polite, let's all eat! "

Everyone picked up their chopsticks, and they ate desperately!

The time was not too long, and everyone was full. Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, and immediately went back to the house to rest.

Hou Guantang's wife led the two daughters to clean up the dishes and clean up the mess!

After tidying up, the three of them started to make bread and dumplings. After all, this big family, if you don't act in advance, you may not be able to make them!

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu returned to the house and drank tea again.

The elder brother-in-law looked at Tieniu and the two of them and asked, "I said, where are you two going?"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "We two brothers are so annoyed at home that we come out for a walk, but we don't have any real destination.

There are two young apprentices of the two of us in Tongtian Temple at the foot of Huashan Mountain. We went to see them. "

"Oh! That's how it is!"
