Chapter 183 Huazhai Folk Husband and Pork Sutra
Qingshui Dazhai, the dog and his party stayed here for two days, on the third day, the farthest Huazhai folk finally came, a total of fifty black cloth wrapped in the head of the man, the thin body carried a huge bamboo basket, the neck hung a bow and arrow made of bamboo, a long woodcutter in the belt, and a black cheek also wore an iron earring, and everyone was a smile.
It may be that he was happy to see the senior official, and fifty people "danced" at the gate of the village together, and then entered the village.
The leader is the contemporary owner of the village Hua Thirteen, with the team is just an adult "Sai Li Guang" Hua Fourteen, it is said that he has two brothers above the name Hua Fourteen, the dog does not understand how their names are taken, it is estimated that it is to save trouble!
It was very rare for a group of big men to "dance" with dogs, so they deliberately followed them to the yamen, and they didn't see these guys dancing again all the way, so they had to lift their pants and cover their buttocks with their hands back to the barracks.
"Master Dog, have you gone to the Yamen to receive the 'reward' again?"
Along the way, several men greeted the dogs enthusiastically.
The proud dog never cares about them.
Since he lightly lit up his minions to these mud-legged men, his status in the camp has risen in a straight line, and a large number of little brothers have followed, and when he is a little brother, he has to shoot two sycophants when he sees the eldest brother, and the loudest one is the guy called Black Bull in front of him.
This guy has a bigger fist than his two of them, but this backbone ......
"Master Dog, are you still recruiting people to work today? I have more work than anyone else does. ”
The dog coughed and said, "It tastes more than others!" ”
Hei Niu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I'm the same as others, I only need two cooking cakes." ”
The dog looked at him, then at the yellow-faced man behind him and thought, "Okay! In a moment, you two will go to the school grounds. ”
The two of them arched their hands excitedly, said goodbye to the dog and ran to the school barracks, seeing the two of them walk away, the dog shook his head, and continued to cover his butt and walked into the barracks, and the people in the house were driven to work by the dogs, so there was no one, and the dog had to crawl on the bunk by himself and twist his body with difficulty to take medicine.
Tomorrow, if there are ten more military sticks, the punishment of this dog day will be over, sighing, and gently saying to the ass: "Bear with me, it will be over soon!" ”
As soon as the medicine powder was sprinkled, his teeth grinned in pain, and the strength of his body was instantly drained, and he lay on the bed weakly, sighing: "Who will help me put a plaster!" ”
"Master dog, if you don't mind, I can help you post it."
The dog was stunned, there were still people in this barracks? Turning his head, he was unlucky, "Longyang Man", well, he is a beautiful man who has a chaotic relationship with the neighbor's family, I don't know who gave him this mixed name, and it is actually popular.
"Hey, Long Yang Nan, what are you doing standing at the door of my barracks?" The dog hurriedly covered his butt with the quilt and asked him guardedly.
"Master Dog, I, I also want to work with you, the recent meal is too thin, I can't eat enough."
Offended the owner of the village, the food treatment of the group was naturally reduced, and each meal only sent two millet buns that were only twice as big as the chickens, plus a bowl of soup mixed with rice grains, just two meals a day, anyway, in the two days in the village, the people didn't have to work, and the officials only cared about whether there was less wine and meat on their plates, and no one squeaked as for the people.
The root of this matter lies in the dog, although these people don't say it on the surface, but they secretly arrange themselves indefinitely, plus the stomach of the people in Tangjia Village is also hungry and growling, the dog feels that this matter is more serious, if it is not solved early, the heart that has just been condensed together will drift away in a blink of an eye, and the worried dog has not slept well all afternoon.
Things took a turn for the better yesterday morning, when the dog lying on the bed was trying to figure out a way, sniffing his nose, and found a strange smell in the barracks, so he followed the smell to look for it, and then found the donkey meat that had been thrown away for three days.
Three hundred catties of donkey meat, full of three sacks, these two days only care about fighting with Wang Xiaozhai master, actually forgot all about it, others did not remind it, seeing that the meat tasted, the dog hurriedly urged a group of people to go out to make jerky.
The pot and firewood are naturally ready-made, but the fat cook in the back kitchen does not agree, and the dog does not agree to give him money, so he has to tie it tightly in a fit of anger, stuff it with a burlap roll in his mouth and throw it into the firewood room.
The donkey meat was rinsed five or six times with clean well water to dilute the strange smell, and then the meat was boiled in a pot, and all the spices that could be found in the kitchen were thrown in.
As the saying goes, dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the ground, when the donkey meat exudes a strong fragrance and fills the whole town, the officials with noses sharper than dogs smell the fragrance and want to take away half of the meat.
Three hundred catties of raw donkey meat, cooked only one hundred and eighty catties, the officials have to go halfway, and pick a few large pieces to the drooling Tangjia village people to satisfy their hunger, the rest of the weighed only forty catties, if you want the jerky meat to taste, you have to expose it to the sun for a few days, or roast it in the oven for a few hours.
Only about 40 catties of meat, and the dried salted meat that is the size of a finger is only two baskets at most, which is not enough for ten people to eat at one time.
As soon as the scene was opened, a large crowd of villagers gathered around, struggling to buy them, but when a fat man dressed in silk and five or six domestic slaves squeezed in, the meat was not their turn.
The price of sixty Wen a catty, the eyes did not blink a full package, before leaving, he also handed over the famous post, saying that he would buy as much as he wanted such donkey jerky, even if the price doubled again, he wanted it, so that the dog was stunned, and thought that the people of Qingshuizhai were very rich, and then looked at the famous post turned out to be a businessman from Longqing Mansion.
Secretly slaughtering a cow is to be punished by the government, although the donkey will not, but the importance is no worse than the cow, if it is not for the bad life of the donkey was bitten to death by the beast, where did the dog get the good luck to eat donkey meat?
The two thousand four hundred copper coins on his back almost didn't paralyze the dog, so he had to give them to Tang Xiaoer and Tang Xiaoqi who followed behind.
As long as the team does not set off, the old man Zhou on the carriage will not give a grain of rice to the dogs, so he has no choice but to buy some rice for them to eat.
Six or seven hundred people, if it is dry rice, they must eat at least three or four stone rice in one meal, but when it is boiled into thin porridge, only one or two stone of rice is enough.
Today's market has a consistent price of five for one stone of rice, and the two thousand four hundred copper coins on the body are only enough for a gruel meal for these people.
They bought rice from the rice shop and asked them to carry a bag back to the camp, and as for the dogs who finally came out and were willing to go back, they took their hands around the streets.
Rice and noodle shops, coat shops, ironware shops, lacquer shops, all kinds of leather goods and all kinds of woodware, but turning around the dog found a problem, there are very few butcher shops in this market, not to mention mutton shops, even second-class pork, there are not few, even if there is, the price is about to catch up with the mutton in other places, the only popular meat in the whole village is fish.
This discovery made the dog ecstatic, and he walked around the streets and alleys for an afternoon, and inquired about more than a dozen old villagers, and finally knew the reason, the city is small, there are many people, and there are not enough people, where is there a place to raise stinky pigs?
The nearest village to the village, there is also half a day's journey, after killing the pig and then send it over, not to mention whether it is fresh or not, no one can eat the price alone, as for the mutton? One hundred and twenty pounds, it is more expensive, and the rich people eat it and the meat hurts, and these mud legs have that mouthful, so this cheap fish and meat is the main meat.
Some people say eat chicken?
The old hens in the people's homes are kept waiting to lay eggs, who is willing to eat, big roosters? If you don't lay eggs, it's enough to raise one, who is willing to raise more.
Before coming, the dog noticed when he was wandering around Longzhou City, the pork price of the year before was thirty wen a catty, and the price of meat after the year dropped a few yuan, and a pound of pork was sold for twenty-seven or eight yuan, but here it cost sixty wen, and a pound of meat is more than doubled, such a price is said that those businessmen will definitely not miss it? Later, when I inquired, I learned that there used to be caravans to sell, and a pound of meat was sold for 40 wen, but since this year, there has not been a caravan to sell pork, so the price has risen.
The dog didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, and the dog who had been thinking all night went to find the old man Zhou early in the morning, nominally to write back to urge the three stewards to hurry up, but secretly sent a message to tell him that he would bring a hundred pigs over, and the silver would first ask him to pay in advance or deduct the dividends from the previous business, just begging him to hurry up and drive the fat pigs, and if others don't come, the fat pigs should come quickly, and it is best to take the waterway.
The purchase price of live pigs is less than 20 pounds, if each pig weighs 200 pounds, buy one is only four pounds of silver, one hundred heads is 400 pounds, the butcher who killed the pig said, a hundred pounds of pigs can produce 70 pounds of meat, a pig is out of 140 pounds of meat, when the time comes, we will also sell forty pounds a pound, there is a difference of 20 pounds inside and out, well, that pig is there, the benefit of four pounds, a hundred heads is 400 pounds!!
There are more than 2,000 people in this city, and a hundred pigs are only more than 14,000 catties of meat in total, and each person is divided into seven catties of meat. Don't worry about not being able to sell it, if you really can't sell it, you can also distribute it to other villages and sell it.
The dog squatted on the ground to write and calculate the floor of the whole house, and the last pair of eyes were fixed on the three words "four hundred guan" and could not move away, and then recruited people in the people overnight, and opened the price of five cents for a meal, responsible for killing pigs and dividing meat! The people of Tangjia Village are responsible for selling meat.
So early this morning, those recruited men went to the school field to gather, and they were in full swing preparing to build a platform for killing pigs.
Looking up, Long Yangnan looked at himself with a pair of pitiful eyes, and sighed, this guy is usually very obedient, let him do whatever he wants, never complain, and after all, he came out of Youchuan, although he has some special hobbies, as long as it is not for himself, it is okay to take care of it.
With a cough, he covered his buttocks and shouted to him: "Dead Longyang, stay away from the master, if you want to go, hurry up, remember, just do the work of slaughtering pigs, and don't touch anything else!" ”
Long Yangnan bowed several times excitedly, then twisted his ass and ran away happily.
