The two of them called the horse's head together, but they both forgot that the money for the horse's meat had not been given. They forgot that the guy was pushed off the hook by the chef, and they forgot about it.

Fortunately, the fat chef remembered it, and he said, "How many catties of meat?" The housekeeper said, "It's thirty-five pounds of meat." ”

The housekeeper calculated and said, "One catty and two copper coins, thirty-five catties, and seventy copper coins." Seven silver coins, just right. ”

The housekeeper was right, it was thirty-five pounds of meat. The butler was right, seven silver coins. The fat chef took out the money, counted seven silver coins, and handed it to the butler.

The butler took the coin, smiled on his face, and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

"You're busy" The fat chef beckoned to the butler, put back the money given by the shopkeeper, and said to the man, "Let's go." ”

The housekeeper sent him with a smile.

The man carried the meat, and the fat chef followed, and the two parted.

patted the trouser pocket, two copper plates a pound, and sold for a lot of money.

The steward went back, sat there, took up the bowl of rice, and ate according to the meat on the carriage.

If the steward does not shout, few people come, or they do not come. The butler ate half a bowl of food and drank half a glass of wine. A man walked over. This man is none other than the shopkeeper of the Fortune Inn.

This Fu shopkeeper heard that the housekeeper sells horse meat, two copper plates a catty, and his own inn is also cooked. This meat is two copper plates a catty, it is cheap, and it can be sold to customers for a lot of money, but he just doesn't know whether the horse meat is good or bad.

"Housekeeper. Chamberlain. "When the shopkeeper approached, he called the butler, and as for the corner of the carriage.

Seeing the shopkeeper coming, the housekeeper was holding the dishes and chopsticks, I don't know what was going on with him? The butler chewed on the food in his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Shopkeeper Fu smiled on his face, but he didn't really want to laugh. It's not that he wants to laugh very much, it's because the housekeeper lives in the guest house, and only seven or eight people live in one room, and he can't laugh if he wants to.

He looked at the meat on the carriage and asked, "Butler, I heard that you sell horse meat, two copper plates and a catty, is it true or false?" ”

The butler held chopsticks in his hand, pointed to the meat of the carriage, and said, "Of course it is true, the horse meat on the carriage, no matter what it is, is two copper plates and a catty." This is a horse killed by the village owner, sold to the villagers, and not sold at a high price. ”

"The village lord killed him?" The shopkeeper looked at the horse meat and asked, "Why did the village master kill this and sell it?" ”

The steward pointed to the horse's leg wrapped in plaster and said, "The horse's foot is broken, and this horse is the horse of the village government." The village owner treated his injuries and put a plaster cast. After the plaster cast, the village owner killed it again. ”

The shopkeeper didn't care about this, he looked at the horse meat on the car, stretched out his hand to look at it, and asked, "This meat is good or bad, if it is good, I will buy more, and buy it to make horse meat for the guests to eat." ”

"Look at that meat, how fresh it is, it's just been killed. You can't tell the good meat and the bad meat? The steward was referring to the meat in the wagon.

Judging from the color of the meat, it is indeed good meat. The shopkeeper Fu moved and looked at it, and pointed, "That's a horse's neck, right?" ”

The butler stretched out his head to look at it and said, "It should be the horse's neck." ”

"I want the horse's neck." Shopkeeper Fu looked at it again and said, "That's Ma Thigh, right?" ”

The butler stretched out his head and said, "It should be the horse's thigh." ”

"I want the thighs of the horse." Fu shopkeeper said.

I feel that I can, the Fu shopkeeper no longer wants it, and it would be bad if I couldn't sell it again. He took a step behind his back, glanced at his feet, and asked, "The housekeeper will order food for the workers tonight, and will he order horse meat to eat?" ”

He suddenly saw the butler eating? 'Huh? 'Sighed. He looked at the collapsed house, and there were no workers. He had seen not far away that there were workers here.

"Where are the workers?" The shopkeeper looked for a worker to see the housekeeper eat.

"The workers were eating, and there were a few of them, and they went outside the south gate and took out the waste." The butler glanced back and replied.

The shopkeeper asked, "Butler, why didn't you let the workers come to me to eat?" ”

The workers all went on their own, and he didn't even know it. The housekeeper replied: "I was selling horse meat here, and when I looked back, all the workers were gone, and his family was gone, even the injured Fei Teng, who was sitting in the courtyard, was gone." Guess what they did? ”

"What are you doing?" Shopkeeper Fu asked.

The housekeeper took his meal and said, "They all went to the kitchen, they all ate in the kitchen." Fei Teng, whose mouth was injured, lost his upper and lower front teeth, his mouth was swollen, and he was boiling porridge in the cauldron. ”

The shopkeeper Fu asked, "Butler, didn't you say that the workers have all come back and come to me to ask for food?" Have you and your workers eaten? ”

"When the workers come back, they come back, and I tell them to come to you to eat. There were also two servants, two soldiers guarding the door. The butler replied to him.

This housekeeper, the shopkeeper Fu said, "Seven or eight people from this housekeeper live in one room with me, and they don't all go to my place to eat." He's still on credit. The shopkeeper looks at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper can't give him much benefit.

This worker didn't all go, and the shopkeeper didn't know what to do, and felt that he had bought too much meat. He said, "I don't want any other meat, just the horse's neck." ”

The butler was pulling the food into his mouth, and he chewed the food and asked, "Don't you want the horse's thighs?" ”

"Don't want it, why can't you eat more?" The shopkeeper waved his hand, as long as the horse's neck.

The housekeeper saw that the shopkeeper Fu was not very happy, and he said: "Horse meat is cheap, two copper plates for a catty." ”

The shopkeeper Fu asked, his tone a little anxious, "Do you want to ask those who go outside the south gate to eat at my place, and give them horse meat to eat?" ”

He knocked down his rice bowl with his chopsticks and said, "Those workers are not doing a very good job, so I only ordered a bowl of lo noodles for each of them." If you want them to eat horse meat, you can replace the bit of meat in the marinade with horse meat. ”

The shopkeeper did not want to speak any more, and he said, "Weigh me the horse's neck." ”

The steward cut off some of the horse's neck and sold it to other guests. The butler put the dishes and chopsticks down, took a sip of the wine glass, stood up with a sigh of relief, and went to weigh the horse meat for the shopkeeper Fu.

Although the horse's neck had been cut off by the steward, it was still heavy. He set the scales and pushed the horse's neck into the scales. The horse's neck was pushed into the scale by the butler, the same as the horse's head, and the housekeeper was not good at speaking, he said: "Do me a favor, you carry the scale, and I will make the scale." ”

Shopkeeper Fu was in a bit of a mood, and he didn't really want to help the housekeeper, so he stood there hesitantly.

The butler carried the scale rod in his hand: "Come and do me a favor." ”

Sighing, the shopkeeper went to help the housekeeper. I took the scales and carried them in one hand. The horse's neck was so heavy that the shopkeeper couldn't lift it with one hand. He lifted the scales with both hands, with all his strength.

The strength of the shopkeeper Fu is not as great as that of the fat chef who bought horse head and horse meat, carrying the scale, and his arms tremble. The butler was making the scales, and he said, "Hurry up." ”

The housekeeper said, "You hold it steady, don't shake." ”

The housekeeper moved the weighing rope, the weighing rope was impartial, the weighing rod was shaking with the shaking of the arms of the shopkeeper, the weighing rope had just been moved, but the weighing rod was raised at one end and lost its balance.

The housekeeper grabbed the weighing rod and the weighing rope: "Don't shake"

"Hurry up." The shopkeeper's face was flushed, and his arms trembled violently.

The housekeeper holds the scale rod in one hand and the weighing rope in the other. After getting it a few times, it was impartial, and the housekeeper immediately pinched the scale rope and held the scale rod, and said, "Okay." ”
