Chapter 10 I grew up watching pig slaughter

The postman Zhang Jun came to the cave where Da Zao lived. He looked at the dirt fence, not sure that this was the yard that people were talking about.

I've never heard of this guy before, but I've been talking about him lately. There's nothing going on today, so I'll just come and have a look.

The door was closed, but it was not tethered, and it seemed that someone was there.

Oh, there really are. How is this sound? The sound inside was not high, it seemed to be humming, but this humming made people feel like they were climbing, climbing, climbing, until they reached the clouds, and they stayed there dangerously for a while, and then they came down layer by layer, and finally fell to the ground, and began to murmur again.

Could this be the woman with great ability?

Zhang Jun couldn't help but look forward to it.

Before entering, he coughed, the voice inside hesitated, then paused, and then the door opened.

A handsome face appeared in front of him, and the most amazing thing was not her handsomeness, but something that could not be said. The robe is a common gray robe, the pants are a slightly darker gray color, and the hair is tied with a very strange cloth, like a man's hair, but there is no bun, and a few broken hairs float in the ears, which looks refreshing, even a little heroic. She didn't have the shyness of seeing a strange man, but looked at him at the same time, a little inquiring. But it's friendly, with a kind of distancing smile. People can't help but pay attention to her.

This is an unusual woman, Zhang Jun thought to himself.

"This gentleman, I don't know who you areβ€”?"

The other party calls him "sir", which is also special. In his opinion, only those who are much higher in status and learning than him can be called by these two words, and he is a small official who is not called like this, let alone such a woman who looks gentle and generous. And he is wearing a military uniform on the post station, at first glance, he should be a "military master", how can he be called a gentleman? But since it's called that, it's still quite comfortable.

"Girl, I'm Zhang Jun at the post station." Here's how he introduced himself. The official position is too small to be mentioned.

"Oh, it's Mr. Zhang, I don't know what is going on with you?" The girl stood at the doorway, not letting people in, but she smiled and said gently, so that people did not feel that there was any rudeness.

"It's you who paint."

Actually, he just said that he came from the post station, and Hanzhou guessed it. Now that it has been implemented, it has to deal with it.

Since you have come to the door, you still have to let it in, and the size is a public official. Moreover, the post station is a relatively large official institution nearby, so it is still necessary to deal with it carefully. Otherwise, there could be some trouble.

Of course, the door is still open.

When I came in, Hanzhou didn't have tea, how could there be such a thing as tea in this house. You can't drink with a scoop, how can there be one more man sharing a drinking utensil?

The man was also at ease, and sat directly on the edge of the kang and opened his mouth.

"Recently, many people have approached the post station and asked me to help them hand over their baggage to the servants who are building the Great Wall. It's really hard for me. I heard that the girl came up with the idea, and the girl really caused me a lot of trouble! Zhang Jun complained as he looked at the young woman opposite.

This time he complained, which made Han Zhou feel quite unhappy. When things come, you can take it or not, am I forcing you to take it?

"Sir, are you talking about those letters? If the gentleman thinks that the trouble can be pushed away, I just look at the pity of those sisters and draw some pictures to comfort them. The post station only serves the official family, and everyone knows this, so what is there to be embarrassed about? ”

Then it seems that this is not easy to answer. Zhang Jun was a little speechless for a while.

Han Zhou smiled, and his tone softened, "Since Mr. feels embarrassed, the little woman is so speculating, and I don't know if what I said is right, Mr. might as well listen to it." ”

"Oh, you say." Zhang Jun answered.

The little woman thought that her husband was embarrassed because she had a kindness in her heart, and she couldn't bear to see the disappointed appearance of those sisters, and she also sympathized with the pain of their husband and wife separating their brother and sister. At the same time, Mr. still has a loyalty in his heart, and Mr. feels that he is loyal to his position, and what the court rules are is what it is, and there can be no slightest difference, otherwise he is afraid that he will not be able to explain. ”

Zhang Jun nodded, that's the reason. This girl is really good at talking.

"Therefore, the embarrassment of the gentleman makes the little woman feel respectable."

It's even more comforting.

"But, from another point of view, what is the business of the imperial court? The affairs of the imperial court are the affairs of the world, and the affairs of the world are the stability and security of the frontier, and Li Shu lives and works in peace and contentment. A person is thinking about home in the distance, a group of people are thinking about the distance at home, and if this goes on for a long time, the sound is blocked, just ask, what is the benefit of stability in the frontier, and what is the benefit of living in Lishu? ”

"However, I am a little post officer, and I can't violate the rules of the court!"

"The affairs of the world, how are the rules formulated, and for what, Mr. has been doing his duty for so many years, don't you have an understanding? It's just to have a proper discipline and a degree of advance and retreat. The existing rules are all made because of the past things, and the current situation needs to be constrained by the rules of the future. If the First Emperor had adhered to the rules, there would have been no unification, no reform of writing, coins, and weights and measures. All of this is because the world needs new rules, and when it is needed, it must appear, and if it is late, there will be trouble. And the little post official that Mr. said, in the eyes of the little woman, is not small, because the infinite cause of the world is exactly the need for every public official to implement the rules and find problems. ”

"Ah, what the girl said is true, but I'm really afraid, if I help them deliver the letter, the boss will punish them."

Zhang Jun said worriedly.

"It all depends on what you say at the end of the month or the end of the year. If there is an accident, it is only said that the accident is tragic and someone must be blamed, but if the document not only mentions the detailed investigation of the cause of the accident, but also the results of the accident handling, then the boss's perception is different. How many officials in the world are well versed in this, don't you say? What's more, helping someone deliver a letter delayed the delivery of the official document? Have the horses of the government been crushed? You're just a gesture of effort, and you're laboring to bring a little more stuff to the postmen who pass by here and go to the Great Wall in the Northland. To put it militarily, at your station, this thing, you have done it, you have received the favor, and the prestige of the government has been enhanced because of you, if the postman loses the mail on the road, then what damage will it do to you? People here will only remember you. And those who are far away from the border to build the Great Wall have never hoped to get a letter from home, so naturally they are not disappointed. What are your responsibilities? ”

"So, it seems, this thing can be done?" Zhang Jun was a little moved.

"Of course you can do it, not only can you do it, but you can do it quite beautifully." Hanzhou continued to flicker.

"How?"

"Now that the post station is only responsible for the delivery of official documents and the reception of officials, who has considered whether there is a need for letters and parcels from the people? Did the military top brass think about it, or did the municipal administration think about it? They don't think about it, I think there is a reason not to think about it, however, the first emperor has a grand plan, created a thousand years of great cause, built the Great Wall in the north, and built the Chi Road in the south, and I don't know how many conscripts will be recruited in the future, and at the same time, how many people are in the garrison of the border guard? How many more people will continue to expand the territory in the future? The large number of people who have left home must have a strong communication demand, at least the word 'peace' is what they want to see. How can the world be stable? When people's hearts are at peace, the world is at peace. Speaking of this, Han Zhou glanced at Zhang Jun meaningfully, and continued: "You, what a post station official can do is actually a big business. You can find out what others can't find, you can skillfully deal with what others can't handle, you can tell your boss about your work and your ideas, you won't offend anyone, but you may gain something from someone else's eyes. Because there are so many postmen in the world, they do the same thing, they just do it, and you do it well. Let's think about it, in the future, will there be one more function in the post stations around the country, and does this function have anything to do with you? Think for yourself, where will you be in the future? ”

Zhang Jun looked at the little lips of the girl in front of him and was a little dumbfounded, this girl is amazing, it seems that she really has to take those women who come to the door seriously. He felt that this work had suddenly become very important and very promising, and he was originally a person who could take on great responsibilities, but in recent years he has become lazy.

When the girl said this, the little official really had to think about what to do. Although the girl is a small woman, the words she says are not 'small' at all. Ah, after talking for a long time, I am not sensible, let the girl stand, and I sit. Come on, come on, sit together. As he spoke, he enthusiastically got up and took Han Zhou's hand.

With Hanzhou's decades of life experience, how could she not know the meaning of this man's eyes and hands, she leaned towards the stove in a flash, and picked up a knife in her hand.

"You, girl, what are you going to do?" Zhang Jun wanted to pose as a soldier, but at the same time pretended to look at Hanzhou innocently.

"Sir misunderstood." Han Zhou said with a smile, "Just now Mr. said that he was not sensible, but I am not sensible as a little woman." In our humble land, most people don't come to the door, and today people like Mr. came to visit, and I was really happy in my heart, but I forgot the etiquette of hospitality. There is no good tea, but I made some food yesterday, I think Mr. has not eaten, I might as well take it to Mr. to taste, it is also a little bit of my heart for the little woman. Brother Zao will come back in a while, and I think we are willing to do our best to entertain Mr. ”

"Oh? That's right! Zhang Jun put down his heart and smiled wryly.

"Sir waits." After saying that, he went out with a knife and went to the yard to cut a green onion. In the past, I used to pluck it by hand, but today I have to cut it. Knife in hand, necessary.

She picked up the green onion and white onion leaves and cut them into two sections, chopped them finely, took out a small piece of tofu from the bowl, cut it into neat slices, mixed the two together, sprinkled a little salt flowers, poured a few drops of oil, took chopsticks and mixed them, and put the bowl in front of Zhang Jun, but still held the knife in her hand.

"Sir, try it, this is the way I do it in my hometown, called shallots mixed with tofu, which is the most refreshing and appetizing. Mr. Shallot often eats it, and I'm afraid the tofu isβ€”"

"Oh? This thing is called tofu? Zhang Jun looked at the white and green thing, and couldn't help but pick it up, but he was curious about what this tofu tasted like. He opened his mouth and ate a chopstick, tasted it, and tasted it again.

"This is made from beans?"

"What the gentleman said is, sure enough, the product came out." Han Zhou smiled and agreed.

"It's an interesting thing. I don't know what kind of family the girl's family is, listening to what the girl just said, and this delicious tofu, I'm really a little curious? Zhang Jun couldn't help but eat another chopstick, he was really a little curious.

"My family is also an ordinary family, my father is a butcher, I have been following my father to watch the pig slaughter since I was three years old, and I have been helping since I was five years old. When I was twelve years old, I was able to get started on my own, but my father was old and gave me a hand. Han Zhou said seemingly casually.

"Oh?" Born in a butcher's family? That's a surprising message.

"Sir can't see it, can you? The life and death of the animals have been seen too much, and the life and death of the world have been taken lightly, but it is just a matter of breath. ”

"Oh." Zhang Jun didn't know how to answer, so he had to eat tofu.

"Mr. is a soldier, I don't know if he has killed anyone?"

"Well, I don't." Zhang Jun hurriedly shook his head. Speaking of which, it should be a pity that he never killed anyone as a soldier, but he really felt fortunate at this time.

"The little woman has never killed her, but she has killed more animals, and when you think about it, the organs of animals and people are similar." Saying these words, Han Zhou was still smiling and groaning, and it was really a gossip and homely appearance. She pointed to her throat and said, "When the trachea is broken, the qi is broken, and people are the same as pigs." Further down is the lungs, if you stab the lungs, you won't be able to die for a while, but it is estimated that it is very uncomfortable to not breathe. Further down is the stomach, if there is a knife, I am afraid that everything eaten today will have to be poured out, think about it, there is really no difference between people and pigs. The lower part of the stomach is the intestines, sometimes you can't kill with a knife, the intestines are so long when you pull them out, it looks very disgusting, but my dad likes to eat the smell of water the most, and the people in the family let him eat it. Of course, the heart has not been said yet, if you want to say what is the biggest difference between this person and a pig, the little woman thinks it is in the heart. If the heart is right, you will suffer less, and if the heart is not right, then you will be stabbed twice. As for boning or something, my dad doesn't do as well as I do......"

Han Zhou gestured with his hand while waving his knife. The more Zhang Jun listened, the more he felt chills on his body. What kind of woman is this, but I just want to take your hand, just compare and gesture, I can't stay, I can't stay in this place anymore.

He stood up, stood up a little hurriedly, almost knocked over the bowl, smiled wryly, and hurriedly took his leave and went out. Before leaving, he also said to stay, stay.

Han Zhou looked at his pretending to be calm background and sneered, girl, I traveled so far to come here, I came here to be bullied? Go for your dreams!

He walked on the front foot, and the jujube came back with the back foot, he looked at the tofu bowl placed on the kang suspiciously, and asked, "The one who went out just now was from the post station?" ”

"Hmm. It's because of Xiaoju's letter. ”

"It's his business whether the letter is delivered or not, what does it have to do with you? Spare him! Da Zao knew that that guy was not a good person when he looked at Xiao Han's girl's expression.

"That's right, it's just idle him!"

"He didn't do anything bad, did he?" Da Zao looked at the knife in Xiao Han's hand, and the knife hadn't been put down since he entered the door.

"How dare he? I told him that my father was a butcher, and I grew up watching pigs be killed, and how pigs grow in the water is how people grow in the water, so if you don't believe it, try it. When I was just talking, I kept gesturing. It is estimated that no one has ever given him such a detailed anatomy lesson since he was a child. Cheap him! ”

"Huh? Anatomy lessons? Did you give him a comparison? ”

"Hmm. Okay, the knife is for you, cook for me. Hanzhou returned to the obedient girl's appearance.

This is too much beyond the imagination of the jujube. She can protect herself, which of course makes Dazao very relieved, but thinking that she can protect herself, in fact, she is not very important, and she doesn't feel good in her heart, does this mean that she can leave when she wants?
