Super cute daughter-in-law

Chapter 258
Yang Liu listened to what Mrs. Zhao said, and smiled playfully: "Third Aunt, then I want to ask you, if you come to help the pigsty kill pigs, you will not only help us with work, but you will also help yourself with some work, but you have to work with me?" You take money like others, why don't you think about this affection, according to what you said, you are more disregarding affection than us."

These words completely blocked Zhao's excuse, and Zhao stopped arguing, she waved her hand: "Forget it, forget it, if you pay together, you can pay together, I will just pay."

But after a while, she proudly said: "You have the ability to call someone to kill the pig. I want to see this. It's almost afternoon. Who else can kill the pig for you except me."

As soon as Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, she found a small stool in Yangliu's yard and sat down, while crossing her legs triumphantly and looking at the people on Yangliu's side.

Seeing Zhao's arrogant appearance, Yang Liu was very angry.

She decided that if she really couldn't call the butcher, she would rather play herself than ask this Mr. Zhao, but she also wanted to see if this pig could be killed without Mrs. Zhao.

She asked Cao Shi and Liu Shi to go to the pot house to boil water first, Xiaoye went to call the butcher, and Yang Mancang waited for a few men to go to the mountain to catch pigs.

After everything was ready, I waited for Xiaoye to call the butcher.

Seeing that Xiaoye didn't come back, Yang Liu also guessed that what Zhao said just now that the butcher was not at home might be true, and was thinking about what to do, when Xiaoye came back with a butcher's knife struggling.

Yang Liu was overjoyed, stepped forward to help Xiaoye take the butcher's knife, and asked her impatiently, "Did the butcher say when he will come?"

Xiaoye cast a glance at Mrs. Zhao at the side, and whispered to Yang Liu, "Elder sister, Third Aunt is right, several people in the village slaughtered pigs today, and the butcher was not at home. The butcher's daughter just lent me this thing and said Her father probably won't come back until dark today."

Although Xiaoye spoke in a low voice, seeing that Xiaoye only brought the pig-killing tools and the butcher didn't show up for a long time, Mrs. Zhao guessed what was going on.

She stood up from her chair, walked to Yang Liu, and laughed: "Well, I told you a long time ago, but you didn't believe me. I also do this anyway. How can I not know the market here?"

Yang Liu looked at her and rolled his eyes, not bothering to pay attention to her.

Laxiang from the second uncle's family is also impatient. Seeing Mrs. Zhao laughing so wildly, she looked at Mrs. Zhao angrily and asked, "Then third aunt, why didn't you go to help others butcher pigs today? The other butcher's business is so good. Why are you out of business?"

Mrs. Zhao curled her lips, pointed at the pig that Qingfeng and the others had caught, squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Didn't your uncle call me here, otherwise why would no one call me to kill the pig?"

These women are bickering over here, while Qingfeng and the others over there are struggling to catch a fat pig weighing more than 200 jins.

Yang Mancang struggled to pick up the pig's tail, looked at Mrs. Cao and the others and asked, "Hey, what are you going to do now? Do you want to kill this pig today?"

Yang Liu looked at the basket of butcher's knives in his hand, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Kill, who says not to kill?"

Mrs. Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and then spread her hands and asked Yang Liu: "Who will kill, I can tell you, if you want to ask me to kill today, the price will be different from before. If I want to raise the price, I have to give me three dollars." Ten Wen, plus three catties of pork, and all of you are at my disposal."

Yang Liu smiled sarcastically: "Third Aunt, you just wait for someone who can afford the price to call you to kill a pig, I won't bother you here."

After saying that, Yang Liu took the slaughtering basket and walked to the place where the pigs were slaughtered, intending to do it himself.

Qingfeng didn't see Yang Liu's intentions, and when he saw him coming, he asked in a low voice: "Liu'er, what about this pig, do you want to kill it today?"

Yang Liu drew out a knife and pointed at the pig: "Kill, no one will come, I will do it myself."

Seeing Yang Liu's appearance, everyone in the yard asked in unison: "Are you coming?"

Yang Liu looked at the crowd and raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, I'll come. Third Aunt also learned how to butcher pigs not long ago. If she can learn it, I can do it anyway. If you don't believe me, just watch."

Although Yang Liu said it was easy, but when she really wanted to do it, she was still a little timid. She held a knife and compared it under the pig's neck for a long time. Where are pigs still killed?

In the end, Qingfeng, who was still catching pigs on the far side, couldn't stand it anymore, took the knife from Yang Liu, and said in a low voice: "You are a girl who can't do this job, why don't I try."

"You try?" Cao Shi just saw Yang Liu holding the butcher's knife in his hand, and his whole heart was in suspense. After finally seeing that the butcher's knife was not in Yang Liu's hand, Qingfeng took it again. She was also a person who had never encountered such a thing before, and she also looked nervous: "Qingfeng, will you know, don't hurt yourself then."

Qingfeng nodded towards Cao Shi: "No, mother and Liu'er go away, father, second uncle, hold on to the pig, I'm coming soon."

In the past, whenever the Zhao family slaughtered pigs, Qingfeng was always the first person to catch the pig's head. At least he learned something. After watching the people catch the pig tightly, Qingfeng closed his eyes with the butcher's knife. Recalling the usual scene of Zhao's slaughtering pigs, he easily grasped the trick, and when he stabbed down, the big fat pig screamed a few times and died immediately.

Seeing this, Yang Liu and the others finally let go of their hearts, and immediately everyone in the yard burst into laughter.

Mrs. Cao also praised Qingfeng with a thumbs up: "Our Qingfeng family is doing well, next year our family will be responsible for killing pigs, and our family will be able to get two catties of meat in the future."

Qingfeng smiled shyly: "No, they are all from my own family, and they are not short of the two catties of meat. Whoever can do this job can do it, and there is no need to charge money."

Mrs. Cao squinted her eyes and smiled, and said with a sarcastic expression: "Oh, our family Qingfeng is honest, not like some people who think that they have killed a few pigs and then set the price on the ground, thinking that without her, they will be successful. This pig is not killed. Yes, we will still share the money after selling the pork."

Mrs. Zhao lost her composure, but felt more and more aggrieved in her heart, and wanted to quarrel when she caught someone: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

Mrs. Cao was already busy with her work and didn't feel like arguing with her. She looked at her and smiled slightly: "It's not interesting, third daughter-in-law, don't stand still, go to the kitchen and bring hot water, my family Qingfeng is going to start scalding pig hair Otherwise, if you can’t sell the pork today, you won’t be able to share the money.”

"You have to remember that the money for selling the pork belongs to the three of us together. If the pork is not sold out by then, the loss will belong to the three of us."

Mrs. Zhao couldn't do it. The money from killing pigs was not earned, and the money from selling pork couldn't be lost, otherwise the loss would be really big.

Because Yangliu's family raises pigs, ordinary people are not willing to spend money. The pigs in Yangliu's pigsty are very fat. As soon as the villagers know that Yangliu's family has pork for sale, they all flock here to buy pork. In the end, the pork of the two pigs is less than It was sold out again in half an afternoon.

After selling the pork, Yang Liu called all three families to settle the accounts together.

There is a lot more pork today than last time. The two pigs slaughtered almost [-] catties of pork, and they cost twelve cents a catty. They bought a total of more than four taels of silver. It's the Yangliu's family's turn to go to the pig's water, so there's no need to pay for it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Liu calculated the money he got from selling pork this year, because when he bought the piglets, the weight of the piglets was relatively average, and the pork that was slaughtered was also about the same. It can kill 180 five catties of meat, thirty pigs, ten coins per catty, a total of 66 taels of silver. Calculated by unit, Yangliu’s family got about 40 taels of silver, and the second and third uncle’s families each got 13 taels of silver. More than two silver.

When Mrs. Liu heard that Yang Liu had calculated this amount, she immediately nodded and said: "It's so much, my family's money from selling pork is useless, plus today's total is just so much."

The second uncle Yang Manjiu was very happy when he heard the amount: "Hehe, it's quite a lot. We didn't spend too much thought on it. The pigs ate only worthless things. In less than half a year, we got three! It's more than two silver, and there are more than ten pigs in our pigsty, so we can pay back the capital in less than two years."

Yang Liu knew that the amount of money was not too much, but optimistically speaking, this was their first time raising pigs, and neither she nor the family members had any experience, so it would be considered good if they didn’t lose money. Besides, being able to earn so much in a rural family for half a year is really not bad.

She looked at Yang Manjiu with a smile, and calculated the account with him: "Second uncle, in fact, the number is not calculated in this way, because today is our first year, everything is done at the beginning, and everything costs money at the beginning." It will cost a lot of money to buy it, and we only raised the pigs for the second half of the year this year, if we can raise the pigs for the first half of the year, we can at least earn as much as two pigs.”

After a pause, Yang Liu continued: "And I have other plans for next year. I want to build everything on the top of the mountain. I just want to ask my second uncle, third uncle, what are your plans for next year? Do you still want to come with our family?" Do,"

When Yang Manjiu heard this, he nodded immediately and said, "Follow, you can earn so much, why not follow, our family didn't even have to eat meat during the Chinese New Year in the past, these children have had a fat year in a few years."

Yang Manfu nodded after hearing this, and opened his mouth to speak, but was held back by Mrs. Zhao behind him.

Yang Liu glanced at Mrs. Zhao, and asked her directly: "Third Aunt, what about you, I see you have not spoken, do you feel dissatisfied?"

Mrs. Zhao smiled slightly with sarcasm: "Compared to farming, the money is really good, but compared to your family, such a small amount of money really can't be regarded as money."

When Cao heard the words, she immediately lost face: "Third daughter-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

Mrs. Zhao ignored Mrs. Cao, but looked at Yang Liu and said, "Liu'er, do you still remember that when we first started building a pigsty, didn't you tell us that besides the money from selling pork, you would also take it with you?" We make a lot of money, how come when the settlement is made at the end of the year, only your family makes a lot of money, and we just make a small profit?
