Flickering through a timid caravan, the dog continued to squat by the river and look at the river like a stone.

The hard work paid off, and when Tang Xiaoer was lying on the carriage and was just asleep and ready to snore, a trough boat that seemed to have been attacked swam over alone.

Before the boat docked, they heard a pig cry on the boat, and the dog was so excited, and every roar of the pig was like the pleasant sound of a copper coin falling into his pocket.

"Hey, come here! Dock! The dog barked impatiently at the riverbank.

The sun is already in the west, and in a while those who have traveled far will have to carry their goods and prepare to go home.

While shouting and jumping, a pot-bellied merchant on the boat also shook a small handkerchief and jumped happily on the boat.

Can you not be happy? I smelled the smell of pigs all the way, and the whole body was full of stink, so I couldn't help but plug my nostrils with a burlap roll, but for a day, the pigs didn't eat a mouthful, and the big mouth almost ate people, and the scared boat boss didn't dare to row well.

The pigs were about to die when they reached the ground, so there was no food on the ship, and seeing that these animals began to arch the cabin, they had to spare half of their hands to watch them, and hurried to the ground at last, and the fat merchant and the little stewards seemed to see a fairyland.

They ran out of the cabin like a desperate escape, but the dog ran into the cabin like the wind, and the two of them took a look in the middle, waved their hands and ran separately.

The pigs are very good, each of them is energetic and "singing" there, looking at the size seems to be around 200 pounds, the pigs are running around with long legs, and they can't count for a while, so the dog asks the boat boss who is rushing to the boat.

The boss of the boat, six feet tall, in his fifties, running the boat all day long was covered in pitch black by the wind and sun, wearing a melon skin hat on his head, a collar jacket with a gray jacket, a red cloth rope tied around his waist, and a pair of bast shoes underneath, squatting on the bow of the boat and smiling at the pigs in the cabin.

"Captain, how many pigs are there in this cabin?"

Boat Old Avenue: "What? What do you say? The pig barked so loudly that I couldn't hear it clearly! ”

The dog pointed to his ear.

The captain of the boat hurriedly took off the linen roll from his ear, and laughed: "I forgot!" ”

The dog arched his hand and smiled: "The boy asked you how many pigs are in this cabin?" ”

Chuanlao Avenue: "Ninety-nine head miles!" ”

The dog was stunned and said, "Didn't you say a hundred?" ”

The boat boss sighed and said: "When I loaded the pigs, it was a hundred, who knew that there was a pig halfway that couldn't jump into the river and committed suicide, and I couldn't help it!" ”

As he spoke, the captain took a leather pocket from the boatman's hand and took out two pieces of paper from it, one with dense writing and the other with a portrait of a dog.

The boat boss handed the two pieces of paper to the dog and said, "The little official is called Zhao Gou'er, right?" ”

The dog nodded, stretched out his hand to take the paper, flipped through it, saw that it was a deed, and knew that it was the three managers and the ship's boss signed the delivery documents, the bottom line said that the freight was fifty times, half before loading, and half of the goods were given to the ground, this freight scared the dog, no wonder no one transported pigs to sell here.

The boss of the boat saw the dog nodding, and said: "The little official is literate, and the old man is illiterate, but the old man remembers the rules, and the employer gave twenty-five taels when he set off, and at the end of the day, you can see if you want to settle the remaining twenty-five taels, well, no, we lost one on the road, we lost, and we asked the employer, and he said that he wanted four times of money, well, then subtract these four times, yes?" Sun Doll, come out to help grandpa calculate how much money. ”

As he spoke, the old man turned his head and shouted to the boatman in the houseboat behind him.

It may be that the third steward felt that he had the twenty-five taels of silver, so he didn't settle the bill for him, but he didn't have it! This is a stump for the dog, not to mention borrowing money, but it will be a waste of time to run this trip.

The dog didn't have time to grind with him, and besides, he didn't have any money to pay, so he said to him, "Boss, is it good to discuss something?" ”

The boat boss frowned and said, "What's the matter, little official? ”

Time was pressing, and the dog didn't have time to go around in circles with him, so he pointed to the pig and said: "This is the first time the kid has done this, and he doesn't know the rules of running the boat, and he didn't bring any money when he went out." ”

As soon as he said that he didn't bring any money, the boat boss began to stare at the dog.

The dog hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the boss of the boat, how could I run away with so many pigs, it's the boy's fault that I didn't bring the money, well, let's do it, the pigs you lost on the road, the boy doesn't want you to pay for it, the twenty-five yuan you owe, you detain six pigs, and I will pull the rest away, at most an hour, how about returning the money to you?" ”

Siguan money is not a small amount, the boat boss hurriedly said: "The little doll is happy, the old man is also happy, you can't run away with the paperwork, the old man and I don't bet on your pig, you just pull it to sell, this hour I happened to be at the dock to scrub and scrub this stinky cabin!" ”

The dog thanked him, not much nonsense, did not pay the deed to continue to return to the family, and walked down the cabin to the riverbank, the fat merchant and a few little stewards have been simply washed by the river, but the smell on the clothes can not be washed, and it can still be smelled from afar, the dog hugged his fists and said to a few people: "A few uncles are fortunate, you will rest first when you enter the village, and when the boy arrives at night, he will buy a table of wine and food to thank you." ”

A few people hurriedly waved their hands and said that it was okay, and after the two sides finished greetings, the dog was in a hurry and apologized: "Those brothers are self-sufficient, the kid is going to be busy first!" ”

A few people knew that he was going to be busy with the pigs, so they went back to the village to find a place to wash, and then came to talk to the dog at night.

The dog nodded, and the group followed the fat merchant away.

The rest is the dog's battlefield.

"Tang Xiaoer, hurry up, hurry up, the pig runs and chase it!"

"Jumping into the river, jumping into the river, jumping into the river! Tang Xiaoqi quickly fished him up! ”

The poor generation of assassins broke their legs in order to catch a pig, and this pig was also a ghost, and after a day of boating, he was starved for another day, and began to run as soon as his limbs were scattered on the ground.

The dog finally understood why a pig couldn't think of jumping into the river to commit suicide on the way, and he was hungry.

After a lot of effort, the three of them finally caught the pig that ran away, the two hundred pounds of the pig screamed and was annoying, and it was a big deal to plug the ears with a burlap roll, but this animal would actually make a trick, if the dog didn't hide quickly, the ass and eggs would have to be bitten off by it.

Seeing that its four hooves and mouth were trapped tightly, the dog dared to relax, and looked back at the boat and frowned, one is so troublesome, there are ninety-eight on the boat, patted his head, and thought that this pig was as good-tempered as the sheep!

There is no way for three people to transport this one back, to the halfway the pig suddenly started to fight, actually the rope of the leggings to break free and abandon the car and run, the three people chased for a while before they were caught, so that the dog did not have a temper at all, it took a lot of effort, and finally arrived at the school field, the men who had been waiting for all to doze off saw that the pig was finally coming, and dozens of people struggled to rush to surround it.

Kill pigs, kill every year during the New Year, can be caught as a husband are nine out of ten "poor men", usually at home really only squatting on the side of the pig killing farm, envy to see people kill pigs, this time it's his turn to kill pigs, can he not be excited!

In the blink of an eye, a pig becomes a large piece of meat, which is then carried by a man pushing a wheelbarrow and transported out of the cart, and the pork is sent to a pork stall on the edge of the market, where it is sold and turned into copper plates.

The business opened, but the pigs could not be transported on the boat, so the dogs had no choice but to let the group directly move the family to the river, unload and kill them from the boat.

In the Qingshuizhai Market, thousands of people poured in on the small road, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word "rubbing shoulders".

"Pork, pork, freshly killed pork!"

"Fresh pork, sell it cheaply!"

Twenty stalls spread out on the streets, creating a situation where every thirty or so steps, there is a pork stall.

There are two people in a stall, one hands meat, and the other collects money.

Is a pound of pork expensive for 40 wen? Expensive!

But Chinese people always have a habit of buying things, that is, taking advantage of small advantages and loving to compare.

Pork is sold for about 80 wen per pound before noon, and it is not open for sale, and it is required to be limited per person.

It's annoying to eat fish every day, and there are so many fish bones, and it still can't taste as good as mutton and pork, so I finally came to the market to catch the market, who doesn't buy a pound or two of meat? Compared with the price of mutton 120 yuan, pork 80 yuan, you can still grit your teeth and buy two catties to taste it.

What does it mean that the eighty wen I bought in the morning suddenly became forty wen in the afternoon? It means that it is stupid to have a cheap and not take advantage.

So all the pork stalls lined up in front of them, and they were all snatched up in an instant, but fortunately there were many meat stalls on the street, otherwise they would have been able to block the market.

"Did you hear that? This pork is a pig that the owner of the village heard that our Xialiba people can't afford to eat meat, and he specially bought it from Longqing Mansion, and there are hundreds of them! It is open for us to eat. An old man, with his toothless mouth, turned to a woman with her hair wrapped.

"Yes," the woman nodded affirmatively, "I heard them say that the boat of the Nala pig is parked at the dock, and it is killed directly by the river!" I also heard that there is only such a boat, and it will be gone when it is sold out, and my eldest grandson has been clamoring to eat meat for a long time, and today I can buy a few more catties with good luck. ”

The dog cloaked his hands, smiling and wandering around in front of the stalls, everything was difficult at the beginning, and when things were on the right track, the dog took himself out.

The river is like that, hold down a pig white knife to go in and the red knife to come out, the pig's blood is caught in a clean basin or wooden barrel, and you can make blood tofu to eat when you turn around, and you don't have to worry about the orderly steps, what you worry about is collecting money here.

Some people will be envious and jealous when the business is booming, it is inevitable to make trouble in front of the stall, the dog's scale is high, there is no problem of missing catties and two, and one hand to pay money and one hand to give meat will not provoke the villagers.

It is those scoundrels who cause trouble, who buy meat without giving money, or making trouble and not letting others buy it, in a word, don't want to do business in the field under the care of others without giving money to the venue.

Are dogs afraid? Jokes, even their young village owners are not afraid, only a few scoundrels and ruffians are broken, they don't have to think about taking them down directly, and it is not easy to lynch them as outsiders, and they are trapped and sent two people to the yamen, it doesn't matter how to deal with it, as long as they don't let them come out today to make trouble.

The trouble was transferred to the yamen, and Wang Zhizhai, who was sitting behind the public case, hated the root of his teeth.

"Wang Zhi, don't you know that this kid has made such a big move?"

Wang Zhi, who was standing on the side of the public case, walked out with his hands arched and said with a wry smile: "Back to the village master, my subordinates thought that this kid only had one or two pigs, but I didn't expect him to bring a hundred pigs to sell!" ”

"A hundred pigs, that's a lot of money" Wang Zhizhai sighed and said: "The tax rate of thirty taxes and one is cheap for him!" ”

Wang Zhi said: "Or, I'll go around and give him a separate tax?" ”

"Forget it, there is Zhou Jianjun here, let's regret it again, and the face is not good-looking" Wang Zhizhai waved his hand and said: "But he has brought us so much trouble and can't let him go, you go and say that Hou'er wants to eat pork and ask him how much is a catty, and if it exceeds 30 Wen, he will say that he is raising prices and arresting him to come to the yamen to play the board!" ”
