Chapter 576: Calling for Rice (7)
The man left, and the butler said, "This man doesn't buy meat, and says that my meat is dead by medicine." He said to the five or six guests in front of the carriage: "You don't believe it, this horse's meat is good meat, this horse ate tender grass and drank water before he was born, and he has never eaten arsenic rat poison, so don't listen to that man's nonsense." ”
"What is this, why is there a plaster?" One of the guests moved the horse's legs, which had been cut off and cast.
"It was a horse's leg, and the horse's foot was broken and he was put in a cast. The horse was killed because of a broken foot. The butler replied to him.
"Two copper coins a pound, why is it cheap?" The man in a black coat asked.
"The horse meat sold by the village government, the horse meat sold by the village government is sold to the villagers, can it be sold to the villagers at an expensive price?" The butler replied to the man. He said, "Don't worry, this horse is good meat." Two copper plates a pound, what to buy? ”
After listening to the butler's words, there was a bearded man who looked to be less than forty years old. He said: "That horse intestine is two copper plates a catty?" ”
"Two copper plates a pound." The butler replied.
"There are a lot of intestines, cut me in half, cut half into several sections, and I will boil it in water when I get home." Boil and fry the chili peppers to eat. "This bearded man wants half of his intestines.
"Okay" The butler took a knife and dragged his intestines, and estimated that he had cut half of it. There was still horse feces in the intestines, which were not completely digested, and some of them flowed out, and the smell came out to make people cover their noses.
The bearded man didn't like this, he said, "Cut it into several pieces, tie me up and take it home." ”
The butler complied with him and cut the horse's intestines in a few sections. There was horse feces in the horse's intestines, and the housekeeper pinched the feces for the guest, and he said, "There is feces in the intestines, wait for the scales, and wipe some money for you." ”
The bearded man smiled, and asked the butler to get it.
The housekeeper got it for him, tied the rope, and weighed it on the scale. How many catties were weighed, and the butler told him, and then he counted the money and told him the amount of money.
Two copper plates are a pound, which is not expensive, this man took out the money and counted it, and gave it to the housekeeper. The butler took the money and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. The steward took another rope and tied it to him, and carried it with the rope that had been tied earlier. The butler picked up the intestines and handed them to the guest, "Take it." ”
The bearded man took the intestines, motioned to the butler, took a few glances at the horse meat on the cart, and left.
"It's cheap, two copper plates a catty." After the bearded guests left, the butler said to the remaining guests. At this time, two or three more guests gathered. If one buys it, the second buys it, because the meat is cheap. The one in the black coat, think about it, and buy some horse meat and go back.
There are also those who come and don't buy, and lo and behold, they leave.
The housekeeper shouted and shouted to sell horse meat, horse head, horse meat, horse legs, ribs, and organs, all of which were two copper plates and a catty.
Guests gather and go, buy and don't buy. Some people buy it when it's cheap, but some people don't buy it.
The housekeeper had just opened, and the business was good, and soon there was a lot of money in his trouser pocket. The butler had oil in both hands and greeted the guests who gathered in front of the car.
Fei Teng sat in the chair of the shopkeeper in the courtyard, and three workers in the collapsed house, Qian Xiwu, He Bufan, and He Feng, were working. The three of them saw the butler selling meat, and the people in front of the car gathered more and more. The steward had no time to look at them, and they were hungry and did not work much more. Then He Bufan said: "Those two family members are not going to eat?" After speaking, his stomach rumbled a few times.
Qian Xiwu let out a few farts and said, "I guess it's true, I'll eat with us on my back." ”
Looking at the housekeeper, the housekeeper was greeting those people, why not Fan said: "Let's go and take a look to see if the two of them are eating?" ”
Qian Xiwu glanced at the road when the two family members and the shopkeeper went, then looked at the housekeeper, and said, "We're not here, the housekeeper has seen it, can it be done?" ”
Glancing at the housekeeper, why didn't he say anything: "He's busy now, let's take the opportunity to take a look and see if those two family members are eating?" ”
Qian Xiwu wanted to go, and went back and forth to see the road when the housekeeper and the two shopkeepers went, and he said, "Let's go?" As he spoke, he slammed his hammer to the ground.
He Bufan went to put Qianxi five hands, turned his head to look at the housekeeper, and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”
"Go" Qian Xiwu put the hammer on the ground.
"Let's take a look" He Bufan put down the tools in his hand, and put Hefeng on the shoulder when he left.
He Bufan and Qian Xiwu all left, He Feng saw it, and followed them carefully.
They walked past Feytenna, and Feetten said, "What are you doing, I have heard you speak?" ”
"Do you still ask?" He Bufan asked.
"No, I'm tired from sitting here, and I want to go with you to see it?" Fei Teng back.
Looking at the housekeeper on the side of the road, the housekeeper greeted the guests in front of the car, He Bufan said: "Let's go." ”
Fei Teng got up, carried his own medicine, and followed behind He Bufan and the others.
The four of them cautiously walked through the house to the backyard. Not a single person in the backyard. "Where have all the people gone?" Fei Teng asked in a whisper.
He Bufan called the three of them together and whispered, "Take a look at the door." ”
The three of them understood, and went to look at all the doors in the backyard. They chose each of their doors, and went to look at them, but they made no noise.
Qian Xiwu went first, followed by Fei Teng and He Feng. Why didn't he stand there and look around, and said in his heart: "If there is no one, where have you gone?" ”
He slowly turned to the door behind him and looked up. He walked through the door, and there seemed to be someone in the door? He went to listen quietly, and he heard people talking and eating.
He Bufan slowly retreated, he went to look at the other three, He Feng glanced back at him, he motioned to He Feng to ask him to come over, and also motioned for him to call Fei Teng over there.
He Feng understood, approached Fei Teng, and whispered to him to let him come.
Fei Teng was looking at a door, the door was open, and looking inside, it was a small chamber. He overheard someone calling lightly, and looked, it was Hefeng. He Feng called him over, and he looked back at He Bufan and Qianxi over there.
Qian Xiwu was lying on the door, the door was closed, and he said in his heart, "Where is it?" ”
He Bufan didn't call Qian Xiwu, walked to him softly, called him in a low voice, He Bufan said, "Come with me, there are people in that house." Let's all get over it. ”
Qian Xiwu didn't make a noise and followed He Bufan. The four of them got together, and He Bufan whispered: "In that room, listening to the sound of eating." ”
"Really eating?" He Feng asked himself in a low voice.
"Let's go, let's open the door and go in together." He Bufan was in front and led the three of them to the door. He motioned for Qian Xiwu to open the door. Qian Xiwu understood, touched the doorknob, tried it in his heart, and pulled the door open. As soon as the door opened, the four men rushed into the house.
The shopkeeper and his wife, the two housekeepers, and the two maids were drinking and eating behind closed doors, talking about their meals, and not letting the housekeeper and his workers outside know that it was basically the shopkeeper who was talking, and everyone else was silent, and the sound of talking was not very loud.
"Come and drink" The shopkeeper picked up a small wine glass and was about to drink with the two families, when suddenly the door opened, and several people rushed in. It's none other than the housekeepers!
