My village can't be like this

Chapter 224 Lost the wife and lost the army

"This is bezoar, why does it feel similar to the stones dug out of our yellow mud, and it's still so black."

Zhou Yang saw bezoar for the first time, and thought that there was nothing special about this magical thing that everyone said.

It looks like the loess dug out of the yellow mud.

Don't talk about Zhou Yang, whoever has never seen bezoar, if you show him bezoar, he can still say it is loess stone.

"Hey, this bezoar is originally a stone, so it's almost like a stone."

Zheng Xueli pointed to the bezoar that was the size of a duck egg on the plate, and explained to Zhou Yang.

"Now you can see that the black layer on the outside is called 'Wu Jinyi'. If you dig this layer off, the inside is almost like loess, and that's why it's called bezoar."

In fact, the black shell on the outside is not difficult to understand, because the bezoar has been stored in the gallbladder of the cow since it was produced.

Needless to say, everyone knows that in the gallbladder, the greenish brown or dark brown bile must be the most abundant.

Therefore, it is understandable that the outer layer of the cow stone can turn black after being soaked in bile for a long time.

The soaking of bile not only blackens the bezoar, but also soaks the bitter taste of bile into the bezoar.

So bezoar tastes bitter and is also a masterpiece of bile.

"Uncle, you have killed cows for so many years, how many times have you seen bezoars?"

The people around have never seen what a bezoar looks like before, this is the first time.

But Zheng Xueli is a butcher who specializes in slaughtering cattle, Zhou Yang thinks he should have seen a lot.

"Boy, this bezoar is rare. I, Old Zheng, have killed cattle for more than ten years, and this is the second time I've seen them."

As Zheng Xueli spoke, he began to fall into the memories of his youth.

"In the [-]s, I got a bezoar from a heifer, but that one was only the size of a pigeon's egg and weighed less than one-tenth of this one."

Back then, Zheng Xueli also sold a bezoar for a few hundred yuan and built a big house in the town.

"Old Zhang, do you have any plans to sell this bezoar in your family?"

"If there is, I can help you find someone, and the price will definitely be high."

As a cattle dealer, people would ask him from time to time if he had any bezoar in his hand, so Zheng Xueli must have connections.

Of course, if his introduction is successful, he will definitely get a benefit fee.

According to the current price, Zhang An's lump today can be sold for at least five or six thousand.

"This kind of life-saving thing is really rare. We plan to keep it, and we may not know when it will be used."

If it was before, Zhang Jianguo might have agreed to make the move.

But now the family is not in a hurry to use the thousands of dollars, so Zhang Jianguo didn't think about selling it.

Rare treasures like bezoar and musk are sometimes very easy to sell.

But when you want to spend money to buy it back, it's not so easy.

Especially since there are so many musks in Zhang An's house, Zhang Jianguo will not choose to sell them.

Zhang Jianguo didn't want to sell it, which was also expected by Zheng Xueli.

At noon, Wang Fang took Zhang An's two aunts to work in the kitchen.

Today's cattle slaughter, of course, must be beef as the main course.

So Wang Fang also made two full bowls of stewed beef brisket with potatoes and stir-fried yellow beef.

After a meal of food and wine, everyone was satisfied.

When several families left, they bought several catties to take home.

Just like that, Zhang An's family didn't have the last half of the beef less than a hundred catties left.

Especially Zhou Yang, who bought more than ten catties at once.

Although Zhang An did not sell it for five yuan a catty as in the town, it was cheaper, only four yuan.

But it cost dozens of yuan to lose more than ten catties at once.

But they have a small restaurant at home, so they don't worry about keeping it for too long.

Originally, he wanted to ask for more, but Zhang An saw that there was not much left, so he didn't want to sell it at all.

Because Zhang An not only wants to keep some for himself to eat, but he must take some with him when he goes to Su Ying's house these two days.

After dinner, Zhang An and his father accompanied Zheng Xueli to drink tea in the yard, chatting about the daily routine.

Wang Fang started to prepare meals for the dogs in the family. Of course, Zheng Xueli's big wolf dog was also indispensable.

But when the last few dogs were eating in the yard, Zheng Xueli's jaw dropped in shock.

Because their big black dog followed behind Erhu very docilely.

That small appearance makes people look like a weak little wife by her man's side.

You should know that when you come over in the morning, it's not like this.

At that time, Dahu and the others were not polite to this uninvited guest.

Without Zhang An's face-to-face persuasion, they would bite each other at most after a couple of glances.

Unexpectedly, I didn't see them for a long time, so I beat them from the ground to the nest.
"Old Zheng, is your dog a straw dog or a male dog?"

The three tigers in the family have always been the same as the ones from Shaolin Temple, and the bitch is not allowed to approach.

Except for Xiaohu, who had already eloped with Qinglang outside and had sex with him, and later even made a baby.

And the other two brothers, the big tiger and the two tigers, were still playing around carelessly all day long as before, and they didn't draft any drafts, and they always acted like puppies.

But today when Zhang Jianguo saw that Erhu was so close to Zheng Xueli's big black dog, it seemed like he was right.

And looking at the appearance of these two dogs, they must have hooked up together.

Just in case, Zhang Jianguo asked whether the dog was male or female.

Don't let the big wolf dog of Zheng Xueli's family belong to a male in the end, so it would be unreasonable for him to be forcibly pouted by Erhu.

"Don't worry, my Dahei is a bitch."

As soon as Zheng Xueli heard Zhang Jianguo ask this question, he knew what it meant.

"I've always wanted to find a male dog to breed it, but it didn't come to fruition that I didn't let those male dogs get on it. Today, I can see your male dog right."

When Zheng Xueli just drank, he was already enjoying himself.

Now that I see that my dog ​​feels good enough, I feel even more beautiful in my heart.

The big wolfhound of their family has also been kept at home for more than a year, and it barks to death when it is drafted.

But when he took him out to find another breed of dog to breed, this dog refused to let his male dog approach, so he never got a match.

When he saw a few big dogs in Zhang An's house today, he was very satisfied.

I thought I would mention the breeding to Zhang Jianguo after the slaughtering of the cattle was finished.

But I didn't expect that just after eating, the two dogs were matched by themselves without saying anything.

"Hey, the three of our family are also like this. It's been like this for two years, and I don't see them screaming."

When taking advantage of the wine, Zhang Jianguo and Zheng Xueli blew about the family dog.

Men are like this. After drinking, they can brag about anything as long as there is a topic.

Especially Zheng Xueli, when Zhang Jianguo mentioned it, the other five dogs were smaller.

It was the tiger cub that looked like a small hill next to it and the green wolf in the mountain, so I couldn't help but look at it carefully.

Since he came to Zhang An's house, although these dogs looked like good dogs, he thought the three big dogs were the best.

Unexpectedly, the other five little ones were not bad at all.

"By the way, Uncle Zheng, when your dog cubs, leave me one."

Zhang An thought that Huang Erye had always wanted a mountain dog, so he asked for one.

"No problem, anyway, they are all from your big dog, and I will keep them for you when the time comes."

"But Xiaoan, you have so many dogs in your family. If you continue to raise them, you may become a dog brigade."

Zheng Xueli looked at the eight dogs of Zhang An's family, each of which was quite large.

You have to eat a lot of food for this meal, which ordinary people can't afford.

"Uncle, I didn't ask for it for my family, but for an old man in the village."

After speaking, Zhang An told Zheng Xueli about the matter of Huang Erye holding the dog before.

At that time, he had already hugged it, but Xiaohu unexpectedly brought it back.

So Zhang An kept thinking that he still owed Huang Erye a puppy.

Today I was looking at Zheng Xueli's big black wolfhound, which is not bad, and it is a breed of two tigers.

So Zhang An thought about ordering one for Huang Erye to fulfill his old man's wish.

"That's no problem. I'll leave you the best one then."

A few people rested in the courtyard until the afternoon, and Zheng Xueli was about to get up and go home.

"Old Zheng, this can be regarded as the selling price for your master, don't think it's too little."

Before Zheng Xueli left, Zhang Jianguo took out 100 yuan, which was considered as the cost of killing cattle.

"Old Zhang, if you do this, you will be offended. You shouldn't give this money to us because of our life-threatening friendship on the forest farm."

Zheng Xueli glared at Zhang Jianguo, and refused the money in his hand.

"Don't, it's more or less, we can't break this rule."

In the local area, when a butcher makes a move, he must give him a red envelope no matter what. This is a rule that has been passed down for many years.

"If you don't follow the rules, just treat it as a big black who came to your house for breeding. Even if it's even, you have to pay a lot of money for such a good dog. Hurry up and take it back."

Zheng Xueli didn't want anything, and Zhang Jianguo didn't continue to give money.

Instead, hang the pair of cut beef kidneys on the cart for him.

It's not for him to take it back to sell, it means to take it back for him to make up for it.

Seeing this pair of waists, Zheng Xueli smiled maliciously.

In the end, when Zheng Xueli left, something unexpected happened.

Because their big black dog is unwilling to get in the car, it seems that they don't want to go home.

Let Zheng Xueli call it, but it just doesn't want to take a step away from Erhu.

Seeing this, Zhang An wondered if the black dog would be conquered by Erhu.

Now it seems that he doesn't even want to go home, he looks like marrying a dog and following the dog.

"Come to your family today to lose your wife and lose your army. This business is a big loss."

Zheng Xueli yelled for a long time, but the big black dog just refused to move.

I just came to help Zhang An's family slaughter a cow, but I didn't expect that my dog ​​would not want to go back.

In the end, he followed Erhu to the kennel in the enclosure, ignoring Zheng Xueli at all.

"Hahaha, why don't you just let it stay here, and I'll ask Xiao An to send it to you in a few days."

Anyway, there are so many dogs in the family, it's not a big deal to have one more dog.

It's rare that these dogs in his family have a little bitch who can see each other, Zhang Jianguo is quite happy.

"That's the only way to go, so I'll trouble you, Old Zhang."

"It's not troublesome, it's close, so come and play more in the future."

The news that Zhang An's family slaughtered cattle and killed bezoars spread quickly in the village.

Many people thought that Zhang An was lucky, and such a lump of bezoar was said to cost several thousand yuan.

There are also many people who think that Wu Dapao's family is too miserable. Originally, this lump of bezoar should belong to their family.

Unexpectedly, Zhang An bought it for 500 yuan, which is really not worthwhile.

They didn't even think about it. At that time, Wu Dapao wanted to let them buy it for three or four hundred yuan, but none of them said anything.

Saying this at this time seemed like it was not worthwhile for Wu Dapao's family.

There are also a few people who feel that since Zhang An has prescribed bezoar, he should compensate Wu Dapao's family with some money.

Anyway, for a while, there were all kinds of opinions in the village.

That's why Zhang An didn't want to make a noise in the village when he dug up the old ginseng.

If people know that you have dug up old ginseng on the mountain, you may not be allowed to share how much with them.

In the evening, Zhang An saw Wu Dapao coming to the door.

"Uncle Wu is here, come and sit down."

Zhang An was somewhat surprised that Mr. Wu came here at this time.

Could it be that the old man also told the village that he thought it was not worthwhile and made trouble with himself.

"Zhang An, old man, I'm here for the sake of cattle."

After taking a sip of tea, the old man spoke slowly, and Zhang An also listened quietly.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Today our family bought a half-sized cow, which cost 480 yuan."

Speaking of this, old man Wu burst into a smile.

"I heard some gossip in the village, so I came here to say it, so as not to misunderstand everyone."

"Don't say that the cow has bezoar, even if it has gold, it has nothing to do with our family's money. They can say what they like."

The old man understood very clearly that Zhang An was willing to pay more for this step when he bought the cattle earlier.

The old man is not stupid, and it is not difficult to see that many people regret not having 300 yuan to buy this cow.

Even the bezoar is a pity to him, but this is life.

I didn't dare to gamble at the beginning, so I could only blame myself and not others.

After buying cattle today, Wu Dapao saw a pair of relatives coming to his door to persuade them to ask Zhang An for money.

But Wu Dapao just smiled, secretly thinking that these people are really embarrassed.

Zhang An made this clear when he bought the cow.

How dare I ask for money with an old face.

Seeing that the son and the old woman were a little moved by what was said, Wu Dapao yelled at home.

Coming here now is to make it clear to Zhang An that this matter has nothing to do with him, and his old man didn't even think about coming here to make trouble.

"Uncle Wu, I don't care what they say, I believe you."

The bridal sedan chair was carried by everyone, and everyone said it so clearly, Zhang An must have followed the old man's words.

"That's fine. My old man is afraid that some villain will do bad things behind, and it will ruin everyone's harmony."

Seeing what Zhang An said, Wu Dapao smiled and stood up to leave.

"Uncle Wu, please wait."

Seeing Wu Dapao leaving, Zhang An called him to stop.

He took a five-jin piece of beef from the house and handed it over, which was prepared for their family when the cow was slaughtered.

But Zhang An never came to the door. There were so many people talking small things outside behind, so Zhang An simply didn't go there.

At this moment, Mr. Wu specially came over to explain, and Zhang An brought him back by the way.

"Oh, Zhang An, what is this, the old man can't take this thing."

Seeing that Zhang An gave him a piece of meat, although he really wanted it, Wu Dapao still shook his head resolutely.

"Take it, Mr. Wu, this is your own cattle, it's not justified if you don't taste some."

"Thank you then. If anyone talks to you in the future, you tell my old man that I don't appreciate anyone's favor."

Zhang An was really enthusiastic about it, and Wu Dapao didn't shirk it in the end.

After all, five catties is a big piece of meat, which is enough to eat for a long time when you take it home.

Don't look at the decisiveness of old man Wu's rejection at the beginning, but in the end he began to hesitate.

So after thinking about it, I accepted it embarrassingly.

Of course, this meat is not so easy to harvest.

As the saying goes, collect money from others and eliminate disasters with others.

After taking this meat, if anyone dares to speak small words in the future, Wu Dapao will have to come out and rectify Zhang An's name.

The last sentence was his guarantee to Zhang An.

Time flies, and soon it will be Saturday.

Wang Fang woke up early in the morning, although she didn't wake Zhang An up from the bed.

But she and Zhang Jianguo started cleaning up early in the morning.

They knew that Su Ying's family did not lack those boxed bottles and cans.

So this time I plan to bring some agricultural products from home.

For example, the local honey that was just cut a few days ago, and the preserved eggs that Wang Fang pickled herself.

Anyway, Wang Fang brought some of the things at home, and finally Zhang An's small cargo compartment was full.

People who didn't know thought they brought so many things, and they were going to marry Zhang An today.

After breakfast, Wang Fang asked Zhang An's third aunt to help.

They were not at home at noon, and the animals at home were not let out, so they needed someone to come and help feed them.

And the silkworms in the silkworm house at home also need to be taken care of, in case it rains and the temperature cools down, someone needs to take care of them.

After everything was entrusted, Zhang An set off with his parents.

All the way to the community of Su Ying's family, this is the first time for Wang Fang to come to the residential building of the community.

Before going out in the morning, he had already called Su Ying's house.

So Su Ying has been keeping an eye on the time at home, guessing that the time is almost up, so she keeps looking downstairs.

Every time Zhang An came over, the car would stop at that spot.

"Hey, you can't stay in a female college. How many times have you watched it this morning?"

Seeing her daughter staring downstairs from time to time, Wu Qiuping joked about her daughter.

"Mom, what did you say?"

Su Ying was very shy when she was teased by her mother in just a few words.

"Hey, here we come."

At this moment, Su Ying glanced downstairs and found that Zhang An's car had stopped.

Seeing Su Ying get off the sofa and run downstairs without changing her shoes, Wu Qiuping also shook her head.

"Uncle and aunt, you are here."

When they got downstairs and saw Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo getting off the car, Su Ying called out sweetly.

"Yeah, you too, Xiaoying, you haven't visited your aunt after so long."

For the future daughter-in-law, Wang Fang can be said to be very satisfied.

And she will only have such a daughter-in-law in this life, and she likes it from the bottom of her heart.

Especially looking at the bracelet on Su Ying's hand, Wang Fang was even happier.

At that moment, she pulled Su Ying to her side and talked intimately.

Usually, Su Ying was reluctant to wear this bracelet, because she was worried that it would be damaged by bumps.

But today, thinking about Zhang An's parents coming to the house for the first time, she dressed up carefully.

Because this time the two families met, it was considered a more formal occasion.

So she wanted to use her best appearance to face Zhang An's parents.

Then Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen also went downstairs to meet Zhang An's family.

"Oh, big sisters, you too, you just came here, and you brought so many things."

Looking at the car full of things, Wu Qiuping blamed it a little.

"What's the matter with this? It's all my own stuff, and it doesn't cost much. It's convenient for Xiao An to have a car with her."

In Wang Fang's mind, this is considered too little.

If it wasn't that the car couldn't fit, she would like to bring more.

Afterwards, the movement of the two families moving things was discovered by many people.

Some old acquaintances of Su Shaowen and Wu Qiuping came here to join in the fun.

"Old Su, there is a guest at home."

People in this community are no strangers to Zhang An's car.

The main reason is that Zhang An usually comes here frequently. After a long time, they also know that Zhang An is the object of the youngest daughter of the Su family.

Moreover, every time Zhang An came here, he brought a lot of things, and their neighbors had long been used to it.

But this time he found that Zhang An was not the only one who came, especially Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo who were around their age.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that something good is about to happen for the youngest daughter of the Su family.

"I'm afraid these two are not Xiaoying's future in-laws. It seems that they are about to invite us to drink, hahaha."

Hearing the jokes of the uncles next to her, Su Ying blushed with embarrassment.

"Hahaha, Lao Li and you guys are definitely indispensable if anyone is missing. Don't come if you come to invite me when the time comes."

"That's not true. How can we say that our uncles also watched Xiaoying and the others grow up. We have been waiting for this meal for so many years."

When moving things upstairs, these neighbors also extended their hands to help.

At this time, the neighbors in the community were pretty good. They were all old acquaintances who went to work together and had known each other for decades.

After moving the things, Su Shaowen left them all to sit for a while.

Wu Qiuping and Wang Fang cut some watermelons in the kitchen and washed some peaches and plums for them.

"Hey, this melon tastes the same as the one sold in the supermarket. The same goes for the peaches and plums. Could it be that they were all bought in the supermarket?"

A few of Su Shaowen's old colleagues ate a few mouthfuls immediately.

They usually go to the supermarket to buy, but now anyone in the county who has not been to the supermarket will be laughed at.

But these fruits are not cheap in supermarkets.

Even they are not willing to buy it often.

But there is a reason why you are expensive. These fruits are indeed delicious.
