After going home and practicing Zama walking and swordsmanship for a while, after having lunch, I went out to the market, and it was almost there from the appointed time.

When he came to Zhang Jin's butcher shop, Zhang Jin's father and daughter were squatting next to the stall, each holding a large earthen bowl, and the food was fragrant.

A middle-aged woman with a ruddy face stood in front of the stall, looking at the father and daughter with a loving face.

Middle-aged women over 30 years old, with a dull yellow complexion and deep wrinkles at the corners of their eyes, are a common occurrence in this era.

Zhang Jin's father and daughter ate very richly, including fragrant rice, green vegetables, oily fatty meat, and soft and delicious blood flowers.

The aroma can be smelled from afar, and he involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he saw it, these days, eating salted dried fish every day, he was about to vomit.

Seeing Zhang Guangyi, Zhang Jin stood up with the dishes and chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth, and pointed to the middle-aged woman in front of the butcher shop and said.

"Guangyi is here, this is my daughter-in-law Wang Cuilan, Cuilan, this is the little brother Zhang Guangyi I mentioned to you."

"Hello sister-in-law."

Zhang Guangyi hurriedly bowed to Wang Cuilan, he can't be careless about this person in charge of the chef, this is related to his future food problems.

"Xiao Zhang, okay."

Wang Cuilan smiled and nodded, and then remained silent.

"That's right."

As if remembering something, Zhang Jin pointed to a basket on the butcher's shop and said to Zhang Guangyi: "Guangyi, if you haven't eaten, come together if you haven't eaten, there are many more, they are all dishes cooked by your sister-in-law, and they taste good." ”

Grunt!

Looking at the small basket, Zhang Guangyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva again without face, and really wanted to taste it, but unfortunately he had already eaten, and his skin was thin, so he was embarrassed to speak. I had to shake my head and deliberately pat my stomach.

"Brother Zhang, no need, I just finished eating."

"Okay then."

Zhang Jin is a real person, and when he saw that Zhang Guangyi said that he had eaten, he didn't say more, so he asked Zhang Guangyi to wait for him for the time being, pick up the big bowl again, and continue to eat.

Whoop, whoa, whoa!

A storm broke down, and the amount of food that Zhang Jin's two fathers and daughters ate was not small, a basket of meals, almost more than three people's meals, all went into their stomachs.

Especially Zhang Manman, who is so thin and small, actually ate three bowls of rice. This made Zhang Guangyi on the side a little stunned, and he also looked at Zhang Manman shyly, after all, she was a girl, and she was still very shy to be known to have such a large amount of food.

This bowl is not a small bowl for eating in restaurants, but an earthen bowl that can hold a lot of rice.

I don't know why Zhang Manman eats so much, he is still so thin, like a bamboo pole.

After eating the last grain of rice in the bowl, putting the dishes and chopsticks next to the basket, Zhang Jin wiped his mouth directly with his hands, put the remaining bit of meat that had not been sold out on a cart, and pushed the cart to Zhang Guangyi.

"Let's go, I'll show you where you will work in the future."

After that, Zhang entered the cart and took Zhang Guangyi in the direction of the north of the city, followed by Zhang Manman's mother and daughter.

Zhang Jin's home is a small village not far from the northern suburbs of the city, and it only takes a quarter of an hour (half an hour) to walk to Hongyang County, which can be said to be the closest village to Hongyang County.

All the way to the north, the four of them soon arrived at their destination, Zhang Jin's doorstep.

Zhang Jin's house is about the same size as the rest of the village's houses, with three small rooms, a room, a latrine, and a yard.

The only difference is that there is a small stone platform in the courtyard with a wooden stake next to it.

This stone platform is only half a zhang long, three feet wide, and about three feet high. It is the place where Zhang Jin slaughtered pigs and sheep.

The pigs and sheep slaughtered by Zhang Jin were not raised by him, but bought from various villages.

After selling meat every day, I would go home to rest for a while, and I would take the money to various villages to look for pigs and sheep.

One is to leave the pigs and sheep at the seller and slaughter them the next morning, and the other is to take the pigs and sheep home and put them in the latrine, which is also slaughtered the next morning.

However, most of them will choose the second case, because slaughtering pigs and sheep is not only very laborious, but also requires boiling water, and the seller of this firewood money pays for it himself.

There is no benefit, and you have to work hard, naturally no one wants to put the things sold in their own homes, and they are all brought back by Zhang Jin on the same day.

"This is where you will work in the future, and you must come here every morning at three o'clock (seven forty-five)."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhang Jin set the first rule for Zhang Guangyi.

There is no way, the slaughter of pigs and sheep must be done as soon as possible, because there is still a lot of stuff to deal with later.

Cleaning the fur and entrails of the pigs and sheep, cutting up the pieces of meat, and transporting them into the city all take time, so it is necessary to get the meat to be sold in the city before 9 o'clock in the morning.

"Okay."

Zhang Guangyi nodded, indicating that he understood that if there was no accident, the city gate of Hongyang County would be opened at seven o'clock in the morning and closed at six o'clock in the afternoon.

It only takes about two quarters of an hour to get to this Zhangjia Village from Hongyang County, that is to say, as long as he arrives at the north gate of the city before opening the city gate, he can reach Zhangjia Village within the time specified by Zhang Jin.

The four of them came to the middle of the courtyard, and Zhang Jin pointed to the stone platform with a fishy smell.

"This is where the pigs and sheep are slaughtered, and your main task is to help me hold it down and keep it from moving."

"Yes."

Zhang Guangyi nodded and understood.

"I'll tell you a few things you'll want to pay attention to."

Butchering is not a very safe profession, and when slaughtering prey, you can be injured by the beast's dying counterattack at any time, and Zhang Jin was injured in this way.

Before Zhang Guangyi had to work, he had to explain some things to Zhang Guangyi, especially safety issues, so as to minimize the possibility of injury.

"When catching the prey, you must give priority to holding down its hind leg joints, it is best to use your knees to resist it, use your body strength, and then grab its front feet with both hands and bend it, so that even if it wants to break free, it will not use its strength, and can only obediently let us slaughter."

Zhang Jin said while still gesturing on the stone platform, talking to Zhang Guangyi about the position when he fell.

During the whole process, Zhang Guangyi listened carefully, this profession may accompany him for a long time, and the knowledge taught by Zhang Jin will be a very effective means for him during this time period.

In fact, he chose to agree to become the butcher Zhang Jin's helper, in addition to solving the needs and tasks of life, it was not for no other reason.

When cleaning the weeds in the manor, Zhang Guangyi once killed three poisonous snakes and gained thirty points of experience. This let him know that in addition to killing people and doing tasks, slaughtering animals also gains experience.

As a butcher's assistant, there must be a chance to slaughter livestock, and if people want to be more relaxed, he must have the opportunity to slaughter pigs and sheep. When you are reversible, you can easily earn experience to level up.
