The mason and his son calculated that they could save more than a dozen dollars, as if they had picked up a bargain, and they were going to the butcher's house to see how the pigs were doing.

As soon as the mason buys it, he wants to buy the whole pig, and he can be called a big customer in the market, so how can he still have the heart to set up a stall, and close the stall early and take the customer home to see the pig.

The butcher's house is located in a small village near the town, located on a slope, an old house that can block the wind and rain sits in the north and faces south, the east side of the yard is fenced with straw, and some melons, fruits and vegetables are planted in spring every year, and the west side is a low wall made of loess, and a small shed is built simply, which is the pigsty at home.

In addition to the six big pigs in the pen, there is also a litter of small piglets, and the meat is gathered together. Although the pig shed is leaky, the pigs in the pen are fat and fat, and they cannot be adulterated.

"My pigs are all here, and when they are fine, they will run two laps on the mountain, and the meat is absolutely firm, except for the sow with the calves, you can pick whatever you want. The butcher said cheerfully.

The mason and his son searched at the door of the pigsty, and this one was better than that, and that one was better than this, and it seemed that it was of good quality.

The two hesitated and disagreed, so the butcher's mother-in-law sent two benches and two bowls of sugar water to the two of them to choose slowly.

The butcher is quite confident in his own pigs, and Wu Daguang has explained in advance, he has bathed the pigs in advance to make them look whiter than other pigs.

The meat used on key occasions should be carefully searched.

After a while, the most lively flower pig was finally decided.

The trip, not a reservation, was a direct purchase, the masons paid the money, reached an agreement, and took the pigs to the mason's house to be killed. The reason is that the whole body of the pig is a treasure, and the mason is reluctant to waste a penny.

The butcher drove his ox cart and pulled the pigs to the mason's house in the town.

Wu Daguang's last wave of guests sent away, just in time to catch Er Laizi to send food back to the factory, the two cleaned up the stall, pulled the cart and went to the mason's house, cooking needs a stall, and the place for cooking should be set early, so as not to be busy that day.

The mason's house is in the town, and the standard big tile house in the town is a must, and the girls in the town don't have big tile houses and tractors, so people don't even look at you. If a girl from the village marries into the town, the people in the village agree that the girl has a good life.

Wu Daguang set up the stove, boiled a large pot of boiling water for the pig killer, and then went to see the scene of the pig killing with Er Laizi.

The pig seemed to know his fate, and from the moment he got out of the car, he desperately resisted, and the whole town echoed with the wail of a pig. The voice made people's hearts tremble.

The mason asked seven or eight strong men to control a pig, and the butcher tied the pig's dead hooves with hemp rope, and seven or eight men worked together to carry the pig to the prepared table and suppress it.

At this time, the butcher showed a pig-killing knife, without the slightest hesitation, stabbed hard, and the pig-killing knife stabbed into the pig's neck, and the skillful butcher cut it at the place where the artery was aim.

The moment the knife was drawn, thick blood gushed out, and the butcher took the bucket and took the pig's blood that flowed out.

The pig did not stop resisting, and the last of its life, coupled with the stimulation of pain, caused it to burst out with all its strength and struggle, break free from the suppression, and tumble to the ground.

However, the major artery was severed, and he stood up strongly, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"It's okay, lift the table and let the blood bleed. The butcher didn't have any pity, maybe he had been.

Then a pot of boiling water boiled by Wu Daguang was used, shaved, disemboweled, took out the internal organs, and divided. The pig's head and pig's tail and four hooves worship ancestors according to local customs.

Throughout the afternoon, Wu Daguang's mobile stove did not break the fire, and it took a long time to cook the meat, so he made the meat a day in advance, and then used the natural refrigerator in winter to keep it fresh, so as not to be in a hurry tomorrow and save the main family trouble.

The stew is made of firewood, so there is no need to guard it all the time, and in his spare time, the mason beckons everyone into the house to warm up.

"My son married a daughter-in-law, and specially bought a black box from the county town that can make a child, and went into the house to have a look. "Speaking of the black box that can stand out, the mason is proud.

When everyone entered the house, there was a black box on the cabinet in the middle of the room, and there was an incomprehensible twist on the black box.

"What the hell is this? "Someone looked at the black box freshly.

Wu Daguang walked at the end, as soon as he saw the black box, he knew that this was the old generation of black and white TV, this kind of black and white TV needs an antenna to receive signals, and the most impressive thing is that when the signal is not good, you can hang a piece of meat on the TV.

Such a TV set, in the town is a rare object, the town is just a more populous and mobile village, the mountain people only had electricity the year before last, and they were reluctant to use electricity, not to mention that there was no TV, all the things that used electricity, were reluctant to use, the TV was a new thing in the mountains, the older generation had never even heard of it, and the knowledge was still in the radio.

The mason's son proudly turned on his TV, which was playing Journey to the West, a scene of three dozen white bone spirits.

Erlaizi's big head dangled in front of the TV, strange This black box that can put people in, fresh, really fresh.

"What's this black box called, there are still people in it, it's weird and beautiful. Er Laizi praised.

"This is...... It's ......" Mason doesn't seem to remember the name of the television.

"Dad, it's the TV. The mason's son reminded.

"Yes, yes, it's a TV, you can watch this thing when you turn it on, I heard the people in the county say that every year during the New Year, there is also a Spring Festival Gala. "The vanity of the mason was satisfied.

That's right, TV sets have existed in the early years, but this place is in a remote mountainous area, and it has not been popularized, and even if it is popularized, it is reluctant to spend money to buy an entertainment object.

Thorn~

The signal is unstable, causing the picture to appear like a rice flower.

"What's going on, did the TV make us watch bad? Er Laizi was frightened, he didn't expect the TV to be so unwatched.

The mason's son was also frightened, and hurriedly checked the TV, but it was a white appliance. I watched my own TV twice.,Last time I only watched it for five minutes without an accident.,How can it break this time.。

Wu Daguang saw at a glance that there was a problem with the signal of the TV, walked to the TV, patted the box of the TV, and everyone present was shocked.

Just as the mason's son was about to express his displeasure, the picture slowly resumed on television.

"Our place is biased, the signal reception is unstable, the higher the antenna outside, the better, the TV is an object, and I lose my temper if I have nothing to do. Wu Daguang said with a smile.

"You know a lot. Someone complimented.

Er Laizi interjected as if he had been praised: "That's, don't talk about a small TV, the big world outside, my brother Guang also knows a thing or two." ”

"I know, I just watched them do this when I went to the market in a neighboring town. Wu Daguang said.

Several people watched TV for about an hour, and the sky darkened and dispersed.
