Chapter 33 Pork and Grain (2)
On the way home, Li Yu said to Li Zhu: "Zhu, later, I will propose to let the second brother set up an IOU for us, and you will only agree." Li Zhu thought for a while and said, "Brother, I'll open this mouth."www.biquge.info The relationship between his family and my family has not been very good since the second sister-in-law started, and you and they can still walk around. Don't make a gap. Li Yu said disdainfully: "Just like him, hmph, walk around, he just walks around to our house to get food." It's good if he can change it after this time, but he can't change it, so we two brothers have to think of a way not to be tired by him. After Li Yu finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhu, was careful, and whispered: "I heard what the second sister said yesterday, Li Tian told me, Li Bo pounced on a rabbit, and he liked it." Second brother's rabbit meat? Li Zhu looked at Li Yu, nodded helplessly, and said, "Bo'er's rabbit is gone." When Li Yu heard this, his eyes widened angrily, his lips moved slightly, and he stood there angry. Li Zhu saw his brother's appearance and hurriedly comforted: "Big brother, it's not a big deal, it's just a rabbit, I'll catch another one for Bo'er when I catch Ming'er." ”
Li Yu shook his head and sighed, pulled Li Zhu to sit in the weeds on the side of the road, put down the basin and bucket, and said slowly: "In the past, our three brothers went to school hand in hand, climbed trees together, and collected firewood together, and we were really happy at that time. Later, I saw that my second brother gave our family's white-flour steamed buns to my husband, and more than once, I didn't care. Soon it was rumored that the second brother was talented and was the material of the middle lifter. Then the family sold you, I dropped out of school, helped with the field, and held on to the money for the second brother to take the exam. The second brother is a competitive person, he won the Xiucai in the first exam, the young Xiucai, the scenery is the same for a while, who doesn't say that Wenqu Xing is down to earth! Li Yu sighed while reminiscing about the scenery of his family in the past, and looked at Li Zhudao: "You have also seen the current second brother, I think your heart for your second brother has long been not warm, don't argue, you are brought up by me, and I know your character best." You, a man is honest and willing to suffer, but he admits to death and doesn't say anything, but he is separated from the unjust things. Uncle is right this time, let's let the second brother set up an IOU, and our two families are waiting for these taels of silver to live. Your sister-in-law wanted to hold two little pigs, asked the price, Wu Baiwen money, a pig to sell at the end of the year, how can there be six or seven taels of silver, two heads are not more than ten taels, our couple first clinged to themselves, sent Li Qiu Nu to go to school, and his age just reached the year after tomorrow. We just hope that the child in the family can read and write, and we don't expect him to do anything in college, we just want him to be reasonable. Li Zhu listened and nodded, thinking of his own children, Li Zhu was worried, thinking, Brother Li Hai is the time to learn things, the second brother is like this, can't be a good example, the children don't be led crooked, Li Hai and Li Bo's reaction to the rabbit yesterday was very intense, this family will move sooner or later, and Li Hai and Brother Li can't learn the habits of the second brother. Li Zhu thought that a little pig was only more than 100 taels, and it was a real loss to buy that sheep at the beginning, but fortunately, Binbin drank it.
Li Yu sighed with emotion, made up his mind, and suddenly got up and said: "Okay, I'll ask Li Dao to give us an IOU later, so don't infiltrate the harmony, there are many brothers who are not harmonious, and our family is not bad." Li Zhu was a little surprised by Li Yu, and was dumbfounded for a while before getting up, following Li Yu without saying anything, and going home.
When Li Yu and Li Zhu returned home, they saw two people standing in the courtyard. A man with a big waist and a thick waist, a round head and a round brain, a smile like a Maitreya Buddha when he sees a person, small eyes, a small nose, and a big mouth, this is the pork fan of the neighboring village. When Pork Fan saw Li Yu and Li Zhu, he shouted: "Yu, Zhu, you guys are home, quick, wash the bucket, let's start working, today is three pigs." Li Yu nodded in response, the kid standing next to Pork Fan looked like Fan Zhi, the son of Pork Fan, with small eyes, small nose, big mouth, and a well-proportioned figure, and said with a smile: "Uncle, uncle, you are back." My dad wants me to go to you. Li Zhu smiled: "Your father is just anxious." What's the hurry, I'm going to have a pig-killing banquet at our house tonight. Pork Fan touched his head and smiled: "Okay." After Pork Fan finished speaking, he took the wooden barrel from Li Yu's hand, and pulled out a sharp knife from behind his waist, an iron plate, of which the iron plate was made into a knife plate, which was used for shaving.
Pork Fan and Fan Zhi entered the pigsty and drove a pig out, Pork Fan and Fan Zhi held the scale brought from home, and with the help of Li Yu and Li Zhu, weighed it, a total of three hundred and fifty catties, Pork Fan said to the old man Li: "Brother Li, you pig is well raised!" The head is fat. Old Man Li touched his beard and said happily: "It's just that the women in the family toss in their spare time." ”
After a good name, Li Zhu drove the pig into the yard, and the old man Li, Li Yu, Li Zhu, Li Tian and Fan Zhi, who came out of the pigsty, knocked the pig down together, put it on a long stool, and suspended the pig's leg in the air, so that the pig could not make it hard. At this time, the pig howled in a hurry. Pork Fan took a rope, tied the pig's mouth, and let the five of Old Man Li press the pig. Pork Fan places a basin under the pig's neck so that it can contain the pig's blood. Pork Fan took out the sharp knife, aimed at the pig's neck, and inserted the sharp knife into it, until it was inserted to the end, Pork Fan is used to this job, inserted it deeper, deep is good, and then Pork Fan twisted the knife 90 degrees, when the knife was drawn, the pig's blood was sprayed out because of the pressure in the pig's body.
After a while, Pork Fan saw that the pig's tail naturally hung down, so he asked the five of Old Man Li to let go of the pig, and the pig was out of breath.
Li Zhu saw that the first head was in order, so he entered the pigsty and drove the second head out, the same is to weigh first and then kill, three hundred and sixty catties. The third head is three hundred and forty pounds. The three pigs were a total of 1,000 pounds. Old man Li advocated selling two heads for more than one hundred catties, and the rest of the meat would be used for a pig killing feast and distribution to his sons.
Pork Fan killed three pigs in the same way, which is called clean and neat. After killing three pigs, Pork Fan boldly split 340 catties of pigs, leaving half of them, and weighing the remaining half, a total of 100 and 60 catties. Of course, the pig's tail and pig's head do not need to be kept, and these are not recorded. Pork Fan carefully disposed of the remaining half, shaved the hair, separated the bones from the pork, separated the fat pork from the lean pork, cut off the pig's feet, and chopped the bones so that the Li family could divide the meat.
When Fan chopped pork meat, Fan Zhi counted the silver with Old Man Li, Li Yu, and Li Dao. A pound of pork costs 18 yuan, but a whole pig can not be sold for everything, it can only be counted as 12 yuan a pound, which is also a real price. In this way, two and a half pigs have a total of ten taels and ten Lu Wenyin. Fan Zhi counted the money, Old Man Li counted it, and Li Yu and Li Dao also counted it once.
