Chapter 237: White Meat
After breakfast, Zhou Jiguo packed up and rode his bicycle out.
When he first moved here, Zhou Sining said that he wanted to raise pigs.
If you want to raise pigs, you must buy piglets, there are no farmers around, and it is not easy to buy piglets, but there is a god's own son here, and it is not a matter to hand over the difficult things to him.
So Zhou Sining happily handed over this important task to Zhou Jiguo.
Zhou Jiguo also scratched his head after taking the task, there are family homes of various units within a radius of ten miles, and there is not a single village, this piglet is really not easy to get.
There was no hope around, so he set his sights ten miles away, and after inquiring, he finally found a village with piglets for sale after riding his bicycle for more than three hours.
It just so happened that a farmer's sow had just given birth to seven piglets, and the man was very happy when he heard that he was here to buy piglets, and warmly greeted Zhou Jiguo to go to the pigsty to see the piglets.
The general sows are bred in August and September, pregnant for nearly four months, after the year when the cubs are born, and then fed for about a month, basically there are piglets in the spring.
But the sow of this family doesn't know what's going on, I don't know how to get pregnant in the summer, seeing that it's going to be cold and it has a cub, the man of this family is still worried, this time is not good, the piglets can be sold when they are just frozen, the winter is so cold, the piglets are not easy to feed, so his piglets were born for five days, and this is the first to come to buy piglets.
One has to buy and the other has to sell, and this business is easy to negotiate. Zhou Jiguo gave some money, set down three little pigs, and said that he would come over to catch the little pigs in a month.
It's almost time this week, and Zhou Jiguo is going to go over and have a look while it's the weekend.
"Daughter-in-law, you wait at home for a while, I'll go to the unit to pick up a board car. Fu Lei saw that his brother-in-law rode away the only bicycle in the family, so he was going to borrow a board car, if he carried it by himself, he couldn't hold many reeds this day, so he went once, so he had to let his daughter-in-law see his strength.
"Okay, I'll go to the house and see how many sacks there are, I'll bring them with me later, let's go and come back on the hour." Zhou Sining turned around and went back to the house to find the sack.
The unit is close, Fu Lei went out for a while and pushed a two-wheeled cart back, there is no shortage of tools like them in a unit like them.
The two of them packed up and set off with the cart.
met a few workers on the way, Fu Lei greeted people familiarly, knowing that they were suddenly enlightened when they went out to pick up reeds and dry firewood.
It turned out that Fu Lei's daughter-in-law went to cut reeds a while ago for this purpose. They were still strange at the time, but now they are all envious of Fu Lei for marrying a capable daughter-in-law.
"I see that your daughter-in-law has cut a lot, isn't it enough to burn at home?" a worker asked strangely, he saw several times the little daughter-in-law of the Fu family carrying two bags of hemp to the house on a bicycle.
"Hehe, it's cold here, my daughter-in-law is still afraid of the cold, this is not for the sake of not suffering in winter, now I have to work harder. Fu Lei coped with the past with a smile.
It's really that the reed is not a precious thing, it is everywhere outside, and everyone has no doubts about his statement.
"Okay, I didn't expect Fu Lei, your kid is still a daughter-in-law. Some of the workers quipped.
Fu Lei smirked a few times and dealt with it.
Out of the family home, the speed became faster, Zhou Sining was familiar with this piece, picked a place with dense reeds, signaled Fu Lei to stop, two people held sickles, and one began to work hard.
It is not the same if there is a man who works, the reeds here are still dense, and it is much easier to cut the reeds than to cut the wheat, and in a short time, the two of them cut a sack.
"Daughter-in-law, you can rest for a while, you don't need to cut, I'll cut you and pretend. Fu Lei straightened up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Well, okay, you're in front, just put it on the edge after cutting, and I'll clean it up in a while." Zhou Sining didn't fight with him, what is the use of a man, in addition to working on the kang, he also has to work hard.
So the husband and wife cut one by one, cooperated, and soon filled six sacks.
"Hey, wild duck!" When Fu Lei bent over to cut the reeds, he suddenly saw something flying in front of his eyes, he was startled, looked up, and saw a shadow, but this was enough for him to find that the one that had just flown over was a wild duck.
"Oh, it's a mallard. Zhou Sining also looked up, but he didn't feel surprised.
She has been cutting the reeds for so many days, and has seen countless wild ducks flying in front of her, at first she was surprised a few times, fantasizing about grabbing the duck and stewing and eating the meat, but after a few times, she looked down, it was not the meat in her bowl, or cut the reeds with peace of mind, and raise her own pork to eat.
"Hehe, daughter-in-law, do you want to eat duck. Fu Lei thought about the stewed duck, his saliva was about to flow out, and he immediately lost the mind to work.
"Okay, let's raise a few by ourselves in the future, pick up the wings, and eat whatever you want, don't worry about this, you can't catch it." Zhou Sining had already put down the preparation of white meat.
"Hehe, who said, I'm out of the horse, there is no duck that can't be caught. Fu Lei is ready to do a big job.
"Don't brag, don't you remember the rabbit in the mountains, and said that you would catch rabbits for me to eat every week, but I ate less than five of you. Zhou Sining couldn't help but lift his old bottom.
"Hey, hey, it was an accident. At that time, I didn't have any tools, and Xiaoxia and Xiaohua were the two who were dragging their feet, and I couldn't use my mind to catch rabbits, how could I catch them. Fu Lei watched his daughter-in-law mention her black history, and couldn't help but smirk twice and prepared to get by, "It's different now, there's no delay, I will definitely be able to let my daughter-in-law eat stewed duck." Fu Lei was full of confidence, sharpening his knife Huo Huo against the wild duck who had not seen the shadow yet.
"Okay, I'll trust you again. Thinking about the oily duck, Zhou Sining, who hadn't eaten meat for many days, was also hungry, thinking that there were already a lot of reeds at home, and it wouldn't be in the way to cut less today, so let this young man sigh.
Fu Lei listened to his daughter-in-law's consent, threw the sickle in his hand to the ground, pushed up the cart and ran home, "Daughter-in-law, I'll send these reeds home first, you wait for me on the side of the road, I'll be back in a while." "He'll have to go home and get some tools, and catching ducks with his bare hands is too cheap.
"Well, okay, you go and come back quickly, don't forget to bring the sack back, by the way, bring the kettle again, there is not much water in it, you go home and fill it with boiled water and bring it over." Zhou Sining commanded.
"Hey, okay!"
