Husband and Wife Are of the Same Mind

"Okay, here it is."

Chen Tuhu stopped Tang Feng and jumped out of the donkey cart.

Tang Feng also got out of the car, pulled the donkey in his hand, and followed Chen Butcher into the village. Life in Dazhu Village was very good. When he entered the village, he saw rows of large brick houses. Is it because it is the peak season recently, Tang Feng heard a lot of pig calls, and a lot of shouts.

Chen Butcher saw that it was his first time here, so he explained as he walked, "Generally, we butchers buy pigs from grass pigs. Grass pig means live pigs. We will buy them back and kill them ourselves. In this case, there are more things left and not used to make such trouble. The pig cry you hear should be that someone has bought a pig and is about to pull it out right now."

Tang Feng nodded and found it interesting. Chen Tuhu was not very anxious, so he followed Tang Feng leisurely, and then stopped until he walked in front of a relatively large brick house, and said with a smile: "This is me. The Wang family that buys pigs most often has pigs of all sizes, and the difference is that they have two sows in their family and only one in other families."

Tang Feng tied the donkey cart to the door of the family's yard. In order to prevent the last incident from happening, Tang Feng specially marked the donkey, and then followed Chen Butcher into the family's yard.

The Wang family were all at home, and when Chen Tuhu came, he immediately came up with a smile. After scanning Tang Feng next to him, the Wang family’s smile deepened, "Chen Tuhu, the one you saw last time The piglet is almost grown now, it is a spirit, it is a fat head and big ears!"

"Chengcheng, I want the other end," Chen Tuhu enjoyed the feeling, and then introduced Tang Feng beside him, "This is my brother, who is also in business. Let's take a look."

"Look! Look what you want!"

The old man Wang said loudly, "Our pigs are all very energetic. They are fat and strong. They are absolutely satisfying to you."

"Then bother."

Tang Feng smiled.

Tang Feng speaks with a scholarly taste, which makes the third member of the Wang family very interested. He has also studied for a few years, but he didn’t have the ability to go to the exam, and went back home after going around and selling pigs. If you say that there are two sows in the Wang family, it is because of Wang Lao San, and in Dazhu Village, the Wang family’s business is better. This is also because of Wang Lao San.

"What year of pig do the big brother want?"

Wang Laosan approached Tang Feng with a smile.

Tang Feng glanced at Wang Lao San, tall and thin, with a smile on his face that couldn't make any difference. This kind of person is simply born to do business.

And the truth he said is also very interesting. Is this pig divided into years?

Wang Laosan saw Tang Feng’s doubts at a glance. He was not a pig breeder, and naturally did not know so many famous halls. He brought Tang Feng to the pigsty, and saw that the pigsty was very big, with eight knots in total. , There are two adult pigs in each section. They are really fat and big ears. The other two sections are separately repaired on one side. Only two black old sows are seen in there. Each old sow is under There are seven or eight little piglets.

"This pig must be divided into years, divided into six months, eight months, and ten months."

Tang Feng nodded. It turned out that this is the case. The pigs of ordinary farmers are almost ten months old. For example, the pigs raised by the Tang family are also slaughtered during the winter months for the New Year.

"It’s best for six months for tender meat, eight months for normal taste, ten months for chewy meat, I don’t know how many months do you want it, big brother?"

"I haven't thought about it carefully. I just heard that this pig is still divided into years."

Wang Lao San chuckled, "This is something we pig breeders often make by themselves. I'm not experts. I really don't understand it. This is for tavern use. Usually it's less than ten months old. What about people who drink. I like the chewy ones, if they are small restaurants, they are six months old, because the meat is tender and refreshing."

Wang Laosan’s words made Tang Feng have to admire this man, because the other party didn’t know what business he was going to do, so he planned out the overall plan. In this way, Tang Feng could judge himself from his words. What kind of pork should I choose? "

"Okay, it looks good, then let's weigh it now!"

There was a loud laugh from Chen Butcher nearby, which made Tang Feng turn his head and look at it. He saw that fist or a big pig with big fat ears in front of him. It was nearly two hundred catties in this era. Any feed can raise nearly two hundred catties, which is really very good.

"This pig is eight months old. Because Brother Chen saw this pig before, he decided on it, so we deliberately feed it well when we feed it, so it's bigger."

"It means that if I was interested in which two pigs when I was young, I decided, then I will buy them when the time is almost the same, and you will raise these pigs better than others during this period of time. Pigs that have not been set to be fat?"

Wang Lao San nodded, and it was good to talk to scholars, because their brains turned fast.

"Brother Chen just pull it back after weighing it?"

Butcher Chen touched the big pig in front of him, then smiled back, "It won't be this time. I'll come with you. Just take care of your affairs first. We will weigh this pig first, and then we will check the price. Calculate it first, and I'll come over tomorrow, pay for it and deliver it by one hand."

"That's really troublesome."

"Is it troublesome? I'm not a credible person."

After all, Chen Butcher received Tang Feng's silver, and his task was to bring Tang Feng to these two villages for a while, and he bought pigs only incidentally.

The pig is very big, weighing one hundred and eighty-nine jins, a total of eight hundred and thirty-nine bronze knives for a silver stone, which is ten copper knives per jin. This is the price of the grass pig .

"I'll give you a silver stone first, and I will make up the back when I come to pull the pig tomorrow." Chen Butcher said to Old Man Wang, who smiled and accepted the silver stone and nodded, "Okay, tonight We will feed you full, never starve it."

After Chen Butcher’s work was over, he took Tang Feng to other people’s house and went east and west, and then drove the donkey cart back. They still had to go to Xiaozhu Village, which is no better than Big Zhu Village. It's well, it fell at the foot of the mountain. Although the road is too big, it is not easy to walk. The donkey walked carefully, for fear of falling down accidentally.

After half an hour, Tang Feng and the others finally came to Xiaozhu Village. The houses in Xiaozhu Village looked better than those in Xiaoqingshan Village, but Tang Feng still saw several thatched houses. Chen Butcher's interest in Xiaozhu Village It's not very big, because in the eyes of their butchers, the big guys will come to Xiaozhu Village to buy pigs only when the business is not so good.

"I'd better take you to see the family I often go to. That family's name is Li, and the old man Li is the head of this little pig village."

Tang Feng nodded and followed Chen Butcher with the donkey cart. Chen Butcher had been to Xiaozhu Village many times, and the people in Xiaozhu Village knew him well, but Tang Feng who followed him was amazing.

While accepting others' eyes, Tang Feng looked at them, not to mention, he also saw a lot of "cooked" faces, all of them were in the town's pork stalls.

"Yo, Uncle Li, I am going to visit your house!"

Butcher Chen smiled at the little old man who was watching others buying pigs. The little old man was also very enthusiastic when he saw Butcher Chen. "It's Butcher Chen? But you want to look at pigs?"

Chen Tuhu nodded, and showed Tang Feng beside him, "My brother wants to see."

Now the old man Li stopped looking at other people selling pigs, and took Tang Feng and Chen Butcher to his home. On the way, Tang Feng saw someone selling pork directly. The pork was mostly lean, but He was fat and thin, and looked good, so Tang Feng stopped, pointed at the pork and smiled, "Is this?"

Old Man Li hurriedly said, "Because some butchers want to buy slaughtered pigs, some people in our village will slaughter the pigs they ordered according to the appearance they want."

Tang Feng nodded, and Chen Butcher whispered in his ear, "You see, pigs in Xiaozhu Village are all like this, and the ones with little oil and water are all like this."

Old man Li was a little helpless when he heard Chen Butcher’s words, and he didn’t know what was going on. They were the same piglets bought in Dazhu Village, but they raised pigs that were not as fatter than Dazhu Village. I have been raising pigs for all generations, and I can’t say that they don’t raise them. Although the price is lower, the big guys can still maintain their lives, especially when I received a notice of rising food taxes.....think about it. Then, Old Man Li couldn't help sighing.

Tang Feng and Chen Tuhu naturally heard each other’s sighs. Chen Tuhu thought that they had been heard by the other party. They were a little embarrassed. They looked around, and the three of them walked silently along the way, which surprised Tang Feng. Old man Li’s house is a wooden house, not a large tiled house.

"Now there are two pigs at six months old, three pigs at eight months old, three pigs at ten months old, an old sow, and now there are six piglets."

Old Man Li opened the pigpen door while talking. Tang Feng glanced at it. Although it was not as big as the Wang family, it was very clean and seemed to be cleaned frequently.

"We clean four times a day!"

Old Man Li was a little proud. Although the pigs in his village were not as fat as those in Dazhu Village, the pigsty was clean and it was finally better than others.

After Tang Feng finished watching the pig, he had a plan in mind. The pork in Xiaozhu Village is suitable for sausages, and the pork from Dazhu Village is suitable for bacon. Both villages have their own advantages. Tang Feng asked Old Man Li for the price.

"The grass pig is eight copper knives per catty."

Two copper knives are missing from those in Dazhu Village. Tang Feng didn’t say anything. He was thinking about it. But Old Man Li mistakenly thought that Tang Feng could not accept the price. Thinking about the food tax issue, Old Man Li gritted his teeth. One catty of these seven bronze knives is fine."

Tang Feng was just thinking about other things. The price was missing a copper knife. Naturally, he didn't bargain. Just when he wanted to speak, he heard ticking from the roof, raining, and also Not small.
