Kill pigs and sell chestnuts

When Chu Ying got up, Brother Wang was already hoeing, and there was a struggling hen on the ground at the door. "Brother Wang, what is this?"

"My mother asked me to send it, saying that you must stay, otherwise the chestnuts in the family will be moved over and returned to you."

"Oh well. Chu Ying took the hen to the kitchen and peeled a few chestnuts to see that it was not picky, and Chu Ying was relieved.

"Chu Ying, this hen has one or two eggs a day, and it's good to eat and save them and sell them by yourself." Chu Ying looked at Wang Yuyuan, who was wielding a hoe.

Wang Jiyuan is a real person, willing to work hard, and empathetic, no wonder it is the favorite of many girls in the village.

"Brother Wang, thank you so much." Chu Ying took the bamboo whip that she had buried in the soil and started planting it near the woods.

The vitality of bamboo is tenacious, and it depends on its own to plant the bamboo whip, Chu Ying wants to hoe the wheat field and water the vegetable field, and he doesn't have time to care about this, but he just planted it with a bamboo whip.

"Chu Ying, do you remember Han Da who went to Lu Meng's house for dinner last time?"

"Yes. Kill the pig man. ”

"He asked someone to come to me and ask if you would like to help him kill the pig. Remuneration is paid on a daily basis. Actually, I don't want to ask you about this, where is the killing of pigs done by girls, it is dirty and tired, and it is not possible to cut it like Han Da. ”

"I'll go, it's okay, anyway, I don't have any money now, and I have to pay taxes when the time comes, why don't you go if there is such a good thing?" Chu Ying stepped on the ground where the bamboo whip was planted, and it was best to plant bamboo and trees in spring, and Arbor Day was in spring.

"I didn't want to ask you, my family has a lot of income this year, so it's better not to go to this job when the time comes. You're a girl after all. Chu Ying could understand Wang Yuyuan's worries, but she was really short of money.

"Then I'll go and see it for a day, I won't go if I can't bear it. Anyway, you can find another way, and these chestnuts can be sold in the city, right? ”

Wang Qiyuan was relieved to see Chu Ying say this, killing pigs is not a trivial matter, Chu Ying is so small, she must not be able to bear it.

Chu Ying has planted all the bamboo whips, but it is only 1 acre, and there are still 3 acres of land to be put first, maybe in the next year, as the owner of the seed store said, plant some mulberry trees or hemp.

Although the economic value of mulberry trees is higher, and the amount of hemp is relatively small, it takes a lot of energy to raise silkworms, and they have no experience, and they see that these villagers have a large variety of hemp.

Hemp is a perennial plant, three seasons a year, it grows very quickly, it is effective in that year, the growth period is very long, generally more than 50 years, as long as the variety is not changed, hemp can grow year after year. Hemp can be planted first, and mulberry trees can be planted later if needed.

After finishing the work, Chu Ying can finally enjoy her bathroom, and the wooden planks below are specially cut to leave a gap to let the water flow to the bamboo chips below and then leave it out.

Chu Ying didn't make a door, but closed the curtain, but it was still very cold in early winter, Chu Ying burned a clay pot of hot water and poured it into a wooden basin, adding some cold water, although the water was hot, it was still very cold to wash. Chu Ying put on her autumn clothes and hurriedly came out, put on her winter clothes and hid under the covers.

Shivering and sighing, no wonder the ancients didn't take a bath in winter, first, boiling water is a problem, this side is boiled, that side is cool, and second, even if the family has money and a large barrel of water, but it is still quite cold without a bath bomb.

Wang Qiyuan hoeed for another two days and finally finished hoeing, and Chu Ying didn't know how to thank him, so he could only say that he would squeak if something happened, and he would definitely be there with the rumor.

Chu Ying knew that Wang Yuyuan felt sorry for herself and didn't want to go to Han Da to kill the pigs, but she was shy in her pocket, and Han Da gave the silver money that day, which was the most attractive.

Chu Ying didn't let Wang Yuyuan take it, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable, so he asked all the way, but fortunately, Han Da's reputation was outside, and everyone in the village knew about it.

"Is Han Da here?" Chu Ying was very skeptical that the eldest lady pointed out the right path just now, but hearing the tragic roar of the pig, Chu Ying thought that it should be right here.

"You're coming, coming, killing it." Chu Ying took the pig-killing knife handed by Han Da, thinking that the squad leader also gave himself a gun like this at that time, on the battlefield, either the enemy kills you, or you kill the enemy, everyone has killed pigs, and there is nothing to be afraid of pigs, but this is an innocent life.

"Han Da, don't make trouble, where can this little doll do this." Chu Ying walked towards the pig that was held down by several big men.

Chu Ying hugged the pig's head and stabbed it hard in the neck, splashing some blood on her face. took the big wooden basin handed by the eldest mother, put the pig's head that had not moved, and let the pig's blood slowly drain.

Chu Ying didn't know how to chant sutras, she could only do basic Amitabha Buddha, and chanted a few times next to the pig, thinking that it could enter reincarnation as soon as possible.

Han Da slapped Chu Ying's shoulder heavily, "I didn't misunderstand you, the blood flowed and the light flowed according to what I said." "Han Da has been killing pigs for more than ten years, and he is free to set his own process.

Although he has slaughtered many animals himself, Han Da's guidance is still very useful. Chu Ying carefully wrote down the steps and her own shortcomings.

After killing Han Da, he handed over a face towel, and Chu Ying wiped the blood on his face.

"This is 70 Wen, tomorrow Zheng Laoer's house, I will send you back in an ox cart, and I will pick you up tomorrow in the morning."

Han Da saw Chu Ying calmly cutting pork at that time, and knew that she was not afraid of these, unlike ordinary little dolls, who were afraid when they saw blood and knives.

"Okay. Uncle Han, just help me send it to the entrance of the village, I plan to go to the city. ”

"If you have money, you have to spend it to buy sugar?" Han Da and Grandpa Li have different driving styles, Han Da is speeding all the way, and Chu Ying's little ass is about to be broken.

"No, I want to go into the city and ask the price of the chestnuts, so that I can sell the chestnuts at home."

"Chestnuts? 4 wen a catty, chestnut flour is 10 wen a catty, and you don't have to go to the city, how many do you have there? Bring me 5 pounds first. ”

"Okay, then I'll understand." Han Da sent Chu Ying home and looked at the chestnuts piled up in Chu Ying's house.

"Did you post this? It is estimated that it can be sold for 5 wen a catty. ”

"No, it's late picking, and it's air-dried."

"It has to be cheaper, I'm afraid there's something bad in it. Sell it early, or grind it. You can get me 5 pounds. "Chu Ying doesn't know how much 5 catties are, so I'll take more.

"That's a lot, it's more than 6 pounds."

"I'm afraid that there will be something bad in it, Uncle Han, you can take it and eat it, I will honor you and don't charge money."

Han Da was a cheerful person and did not refuse, and he reconfirmed with Chu Ying that he would leave tomorrow.

After eating, Chu Ying carried a basket of chestnuts and went to the village entrance to wait for the ox cart.

"Chu Ying, where did you get these chestnuts? Are you going to the mountains? Grandpa Li helped Chu Ying take the handle and put the back basket on the ox cart.

"No, at home. Grandpa Li, you eat, this is cooked. ”

"That's good, it's still hot, hold it up." When the people were almost there, Grandpa Li walked slowly to the city.

Chu Ying carried a basket on his back and looked at the two cities, and wanted to sell them on the ground like them, but some of these chestnuts were bad, so I was afraid that when the time came, people would buy them once and not buy them a second time, and they might not come back every day, in case the reputation was bad and wanted to sell them again, it would be troublesome.

Considering the cost of time, Chu Ying also felt that it was not cost-effective to set up a stall like this, and asked a few of them for 4 yuan a catty, Chu Ying deliberately went to the grocery store that sold seeds last time, and Chu Ying saw chestnuts and chestnut powder for sale there.
