"You'll have to wait a while. In that courtyard, there are two family members in that courtyard. And this, my worker, drinks wine and eats barbecue. "The housekeeper pointed to the courtyard, and pointed to the five of Qianxi, and said to the kiln owner.

The housekeeper added, "I have a few more workers going home, and when they come back, they can help." ”

The kiln owner who went home didn't say, the kiln owner said that there were two housekeepers in the courtyard, and the housekeeper worker who sat there drinking wine and eating meat, he said: "Steward, this person who goes home has to wait for the people to come back." The two families in the courtyard, and this worker, are they eating? ”

"Gotta wait until I eat the barbecue." The housekeeper looked at the two families in the courtyard, and said to Qian Xiwu and the kiln owner.

The kiln owner didn't know that the two Jiading and Qian Xiwu had eaten, ate barbecue, and just ate delicious food. The kiln owner said: "If you have to wait for someone to eat, how can you let people help if you don't eat?" ”

Looking at the two family members and Qian Xiwu, the housekeeper didn't say anything, they had already eaten, and the housekeeper knew. The butler himself drank wine and ate meat. He said, "When you're done eating and drinking, you'll help." ”

"I'm going to drink with the workers." The housekeeper said.

The housekeeper said, turned around and sat down, picked up the wine glass, and said to Qian Xiwu, "Come, drink." ”

Qian Xiwu put the barbecue, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Butler, drink" The two touched the glass, both took a sip, and after drinking, they both picked up the meat and ate it.

The steward sat down to drink with the workers, and the kiln master looked around, and he looked at what the steward and the workers were eating, and then at the meat in the cart, and said, "What kind of meat is this?" As he spoke, he went back to the courtyard, where meat was also being eaten.

"Horse meat." The housekeeper said.

"Horse meat?" The kiln owner went to see the meat in the carriage, and he asked, "In this carriage?" ”

"This roast is in the wagon." The housekeeper said.

"Oh, this is horse meat, huh? It's all horse meat? The kiln master asked.

"Both." The housekeeper said. The butler said that, remembering to sell horse meat, he said, "Do you buy horse meat?" The cart was sold for horse meat. ”

"Horse meat is sold in this car?" The kiln owner asked.

"Sell, the horse meat in the cart is sold." The housekeeper said.

Speaking of selling horse meat, the kiln owner remembered that he had to give the workers something good to eat tonight, and the housekeeper said to sell, and the kiln owner looked at the cart and horse meat, and this horse meat stewed in a big pot for him. The kiln owner asked, "How much is this horse meat?" ”

The housekeeper stretched out his index finger and middle finger towards the kiln owner, and two fingers pointed at the kiln owner, saying, "Two, two copper plates a catty." On the carriage, no matter what it was, it was two copper plates and a catty. ”

The kiln master looked at the horse meat on the car, listened to two copper plates and a catty, turned back to see the butler, this meat was so cheap, he saw the butler stretching out his arm, two fingers pointing at himself. The kiln master looked at the butler and looked at his fingers.

The housekeeper stretched out his finger and withdrew his hand, and said, "Does the kiln master buy it?" ”

The butler withdrew his hand, and the kiln owner looked at him, and he thought that the butler had drunk. He said: "Two copper plates and a catty, is it true or false?" ”

The housekeeper nibbles on the barbecue. He said: "Of course it's true, no matter what you buy or how much you buy, it's two copper plates a pound." ”

"Are they all two copper plates?" The kiln master asked, gesturing to the carriage with his hand.

The housekeeper replied: "It's all two copper plates." ”

The kiln owner looked at the housekeeper and said, "Tonight I will give the workers good food and pull bricks four times." ”

"Okay, make some horse meat for the workers." The housekeeper looked at the kiln master and said.

The kiln master said, "Stew him a pot of horse meat, and bring him two vegetarian dishes, and drink him a jar of good wine." Well, okay, that's all. The butler listened, but did not speak. He came back and ate the meat. The housekeeper ate two bites of meat and asked, "Buy it, sell it now?" Sell it now, I'll give you a chop meat scale now? ”

The butler said that he wanted to get up.

Looking at the horse meat cart, the kiln owner said, "Now weighed?" He said: "When the workers unload the bricks, unload the bricks, load the meat onto the cart and pull it away." ”

The brick cart has ash and slag, and when it comes to loading the car, the kiln owner looks at the horse meat on the car, and the horse meat is all bright red meat, as well as bones, and one is plaster like half a leg. He said: "When the horse meat is thrown on the cart, it will be stained with dust." This meat is not very easy to wash when it is stained with ash. What's the plaster, horseshoe, half a leg? The kiln master asked.

The steward listened and replied, "The plaster is half of the horse's leg, and the horse's foot is broken." ”

"The horse's foot is broken?" The kiln owner muttered. He said: "The horse meat is not easy to wash on the cart, and there are bricks and ashes on the carriage, and the workers who can't wash it clean eat their teeth." Do you have any paving, pads on the brick cart? ”

"Paving?" When the butler heard this, he remembered the horseskin under the car, so he pointed to the car and said, "If you want the horseskin, it will also cost two copper plates and a catty." If you want, you bought it, and you just put the horse's skin on the carriage, with the fur facing down and the inside facing up? ”

"Horseskin?" The kiln owner looked under the car, and the housekeeper was right, and the horse skin was indeed rolled under the car. What's the use of him asking for horse skins? The kiln owner looked at it and said, "What's the use of me buying this horse skin?" Still with hair? The kiln owner pointed to the car.

"Then you dry the horse skin, put it on the kang, sleep and enjoy it, it won't cool you at all." The housekeeper said.

"Horse skin, can horse skin keep out the cold?" The kiln owner asked.

"Why can't the horse skin, then play, in the horse shed in the winter, it is the layer of skin, the horse shed is open everywhere, the wind and snow are blowing, nothing happens." The housekeeper said.

The owner of the kiln raised horses, and he knew that the horses would change their moults before the winter came, and they would change to fluff, which was very warm and could keep them warm. The current horse has not yet been moulted, and it is a summer horse. He said: "In the winter, the horses have changed their moults, and the wool is specially designed to protect them from the cold. Not to mention that the stables are open everywhere, even if they are all open, it is fine. Animals are not like people, no matter how warm you are, they are not frost-resistant. No matter how warm you are in winter, you stand outside and try it in winter. The animals were fine, and in that winter, they used their hooves to plow the snow and eat the dead grass under the snow. ”

"Aren't horses hairy in the summer? It's still warm when it's covered, but it's also skin, furry skin. You put a horse's skin on the kang than a mattress. The butler said.

"That's, where is that mattress?" The kiln owner said. He said: "My fire pit is so hot that I don't put a mattress on my mattress in winter, and I just sleep with a quilt." I asked for that horse skin and it was useless. ”

"You don't need it in winter, can't you sit on a cushion in summer, and when it rains in the summer, isn't it cold for him? And he shall make a cushion of the horse's skin, and he shall not burn when he sits. If you sit on that chair and stool and pull out the cold ground on the roof, isn't that burning? The butler said.

When the kiln owner heard what the housekeeper said, he didn't pad it in winter and pad it in summer. The kiln master took out his box of dry cigarettes, took two cigarettes, stretched them out to the butler, and said, "The butler smokes?" ”

"No." The housekeeper looked at it, he turned around and picked up the wine glass, faced Qian Xiwu, and said, "Come and drink." ”

Qian Xiwu was gnawing meat there, he picked up the wine glass and said, "Come and drink." He touched the cup with the butler and took a sip. Qian Xiwu took a sip, the housekeeper also took a sip, and after the housekeeper Siha, he said: "Not only summer" said and chewed two mouthfuls of meat, and he continued: "What about spring and autumn?" The rain in the spring and autumn is cooler, and the horse skin is good for you to cushion when you sit. ”
