The housekeeper weighed the old man's horse lungs and told him how many catties and how much they were. I took a few ropes and tied the horse's lungs tightly to prevent them from falling off.

The butler took the horse's lungs to the old man and put them away. The old man slowly withdrew the money from him. After taking the money, the housekeeper said, "Be careful when carrying it, don't shake it too much." ”

The old man motioned to the butler, picked up the horse's lungs, and walked away with an unpleasant step.

The middle-aged man pointed to two horse ribs and said, "Get those two ribs off for me." ”

"Good" look at the two horse ribs, this guest doesn't want a lot. The butler took a knife and slashed it down for him. The housekeeper had cut his ribs before, so he had a bit of a trick.

The ribs should be carefully cut and cut into the gaps. The steward cut off two ribs for the man, weighed him, and counted the money.

Tie the rope, and the butler brought it to the man and said, "Take it, go home, chop it into sections, and eat it." ”

The middle-aged man gave the money with one hand and the ribs with the other. He said: "I haven't eaten horse meat, go home and get some, and buy it again." The man turned to go away and asked, "Do you often sell?" ”

"I don't sell it often, almost just this once. I am the housekeeper of the village government, and the village government kills horses. The butler replied to the man.

This man heard about it, and heard that the village master was killing a horse, and the housekeeper was selling. He listened almost to this time, a little disappointed. He said: "It would be nice if the village officials often killed and often sold it cheaply." ”

"I advise you to buy more and go back, these two copper plates and a pound of meat, after this village, there will be no such shop. It's a rare opportunity. The butler wanted the man to buy some more meat.

A cartload of meat cannot be sold in the blink of an eye. This man wanted to go home and do what he tasted. He said, "Go home and have a meal, I'll buy it again." The man looked at him and said, "Don't bother." ”

The man beckoned and walked away.

The butler nodded, but the man didn't look.

Raise your hands, and your hands are dirty again. The housekeeper shook his head, he was still eating. He went back and sat there, looking at the streets, at the knife seller, who had not yet given him money for his sword.

"I've eaten, I'll give you the money after I've eaten." The housekeeper picked up the rice bowl and ate. The knife seller glanced at the butler and waited for the butler's knife money. The housekeeper bought the rope and didn't say anything about giving him the money.

Wait, I guess you won't forget. The knife seller no longer looks at the butler.

A fat man, with the smell of green onion oil smoke on his body, passed in front of the knife stall. The fat man looked at the carriage in front of him and walked towards it. He was followed by a man who was neither fat nor thin, and the man was carrying a pair of baskets. The two of them went straight to the carriage, one after the other.

The housekeeper tasted the wine, served the bowl and ate the rice, the rice was well cooked, and the housekeeper ate with relish.

A fat man and a basket came to the carriage, and they came to the front of the carriage. The fat man looked carefully at the meat in the carriage and asked, "Is your meat two copper plates and a pound?" ”

"Yes," the butler replied to him, munching on his meal.

"It's all two copper plates a pound?" The fat man looked at the meat in the carriage, he was a cook, and he was looking at the quality of the meat. The meat is very fresh, and the dishes made from fresh meat are delicious.

"It's all two copper plates and a pound." The housekeeper chews the food, swallows the belly, and pulls the mouth to eat.

The cook blinked, looking at the horse's head. He looked at the cart of horse meat, and every time he saw it, he stayed on the horse's head. He saw that not only did he buy meat, but he also bought back the horse's head, which was like a pig's head, and tore it off for the guests to drink and eat.

He said: "The horse's head is also two copper plates a catty, right?" ”

The housekeeper bowed his head: "It's all, no matter what is on the car, it's two copper plates and a catty." ”

"Cut me thirty pounds of meat, and weigh the horse's head." The fat chef asked for what he wanted to buy.

This is called the horse-headed butler didn't say it, if you want to cut thirty catties of meat, the housekeeper is not easy to cut. He said: "The horse's head is good, I can't cut the thirty catties of meat, I can cut more or less." ”

"It's okay, you just cut thirty catties, cut more and cut less, almost enough." This fat chef is easier to talk to.

"Okay, cut it for you." The butler put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and tasted the wine. He walked to the car, picked up the knife, and cut the man's flesh first.

The meat was cut piece by piece, and the housekeeper estimated how many catties he felt.

cut six or seven pieces of size, and the housekeeper estimated that it was about the same, and weighed him.

The meat is stacked on the scales by the butler.

Weigh the scales, no more, no less, thirty-five pounds. He said, "Thirty-five pounds." ”

"I'll see" the fat chef wanted to look at the scales, took a step, stretched out his fat head and thick neck, and looked at the scale rod. "Look," the butler showed him.

This fat chef will look at the scales, "Okay, thirty-five pounds." ”

"All of them?" The housekeeper asked.

"Put it in the basket." The fat chef looked at the man.

The man picked two baskets and stretched one basket towards the butler, telling him to throw meat into it.

The butler gave him the meat piece by piece. After the meat was released, the steward went to carry the horse's head. The horse's head was not light, so the housekeeper moved it to the side of the car, put the scale away, and pushed the horse's head into the scale.

This weighs the scales with two hands, one hand to carry and the other hand to make the scale. The housekeeper carried it with one hand, and it was very difficult. He put the scale down and said, "Come and do me a favor." ”

The guy is carrying the basket and it's not good to help him. The fat chef went over and stretched out his hand to the scale, "Come, give me your carry, you can see how many catties." "The cook is a nice man, and the butler smiled at him and let him carry the scales.

The fat chef lifted the scales with both hands, and the housekeeper made the scales to see how many catties there were. The scales froze, a little biased, and the housekeeper said, "Look at it." ”

The fat chef looked down and looked at how many catties he had, and said, "Okay, so be it." ”

The butler pinched the scale rope, took the fat chef's hand, and put the scale down.

The housekeeper looked at how many catties again and calculated how much. The housekeeper counted twice, and a copper plate was not bad, and it was the same number. The cook did the math himself, and nodded to the butler's count.

The housekeeper said: "Give you a zero, and you won't need those copper plates." A lot, a few copper plates, that's called two or three catties? ”

"Hmm" The fat chef nodded to the butler and took out the money to count the butler.

"Give" the fat chef the money and hand it to the butler.

The butler took the money with his head in his head.

The cook took the basket that the man had picked and asked the man to turn the empty basket over. The guy immediately turned around and dropped the empty basket over.

The fat chef lifted the horse's head and put it in the basket, and he said, "Pick it up." ”

The guy snorted with all his strength. The butler put money in his trouser pocket, and when he had filled it, he went to help, and reached over his hands to help the guest put the horse's head in the basket.

"Go" the fat chef put the guy under the hook. The guy picked up the basket and walked, and the fat chef was behind, and after a few steps, the fat chef stopped.

After they had taken a few steps, the butler suddenly looked up and felt that something was missing?

"Didn't you give you the money for horse meat?" The fat chef asked.

"Yes, you haven't given me the horse meat money yet?" As soon as the guest said this, the housekeeper remembered.
