Nongmen tranquility

Chapter 322

The only ones who can butcher pigs in the village, except Zhang Kangping, is Butcher Hu.

Butcher Hu is actually the apprentice of Zhang Kangping's own father, old Zhangtou.

Speaking of this family, there are three generations of butchers. The old Zhangtou was called Butcher Zhang in the past, that is, he hurt his hand when he was young, and he couldn't kill pigs. Therefore, he wanted to teach his son all his skills.

How could they know that Liu's sons were not at a disadvantage, and they were afraid of being dirty and tired, so they didn't learn it at all, but Zhang Kangping, who stood by and watched, and Butcher Hu, who helped him, learned it.

Butcher Hu has learned it, so he no longer works as a helper for Lao Zhangtou's family, but is a full-time pig collector and slaughterer in four miles and eight villages, and sells pork in the streets and villages.

Because Butcher Hu knows how to do business, and because Zhang Kangping has a bad reputation for being cheap by the Liu family, Butcher Hu is usually hired for pig slaughtering jobs. Only when Butcher Hu is too busy will he hire Butcher Hu.

It is impossible for the Liu family to promote Zhang Kangping to specialize in a craft, and instruct Zhang Kangping to do this and that to make money to support the family. The old Zhang is getting older and his hands are even more boring, so the Zhang family no longer makes a living as that butcher. .

Villagers pay attention to taboos, and generally kill pigs with knives at noon.

So, butcher Hu is still at home right now.

His mother-in-law just took the baby to wash clothes by the river and went out. When she left, she put a water jug ​​next to Butcher Hu, "Father, I'm going to Wanjia to kill pigs later. Don't forget to bring this jug with you." superior."

Butcher Hu nodded impatiently, and his wife left.

Before slaughtering a pig, a butcher would drink a bowl of hot realgar wine to refresh his nerves.

An'an knew what was in the pot without guessing.

She walked over and said that she wanted to buy meat, and then picked here and there.

Then he stood by the side of the pot, pointed to the pig's blood behind the stall and said he wanted to buy pig's blood.

When Butcher Hu turned around, she put a pack of medicinal powder into his hip flask.

It is said that this medicinal powder was originally intended for Cheng Sinazhu to enjoy.

Unexpectedly, it was used to harm the butcher Hu in the end.

An An felt uneasy, and after taking the pig's blood, she picked out the meat that she had seen before, and picked out the meat that didn't look too fresh, and bought a dozen catties, big and small, and the price was not returned, nor was the change. .

It can be regarded as a small compensation for the butcher.

However, Butcher Hu smiled happily after An An turned around and left.

The price of the not-so-fresh ones is not the same as that of fresh ones, and they cannot be sold after a while, and they can only be thrown away if they are spoiled and smelly.

Not only did he sell it, but he also sold it at the price of the freshest meat, not even a fraction.

As for whether the little girl will be beaten if she spends so much money on meat that is not very good, that's not something he should worry about.

Anyway, if the meat is sold, the Heavenly King and Laozi will not return or exchange it.

He smiled, touched the jug, opened it, and drank a big gulp.

Naturally, An An would not be so stupid as to take the stale meat to Zhang Kangping's house.

Instead, he turned around and went to the house of his second aunt Li, and gave all the meat to Li.Recently, she has been eating very well, all she eats is the game that Zhang Kangping hunted on the mountain, so she doesn't like these pork that are about to go bad.

Although these meats were not too fresh, for a family like Li's who ate bran and vegetables for three meals a day, it was no different from gluttonous delicacies, and the smile on his face seemed to be in full bloom.

It was almost noon when An An arrived at Zhang Kangping's house again.

An An's expectation was not bad. When she arrived, the old Wan's family had already arrived.

Old man Wan was standing in the yard, asking Zhang Kangping to help his family kill pigs.

An An's lip smile evoked a smile.
