After disemboweling and stripping the pig, those internal organs were found in buckets, and Ye Yuran asked a few sons to bring them to the backyard and let the Lin family who were waiting there wash them.

Butcher Li helped cut the pig into pieces and put it in the basket: "This size is about the same, when the time comes, it will be marinated and blown, blown into jerky, so much pork can be eaten sparingly, and it will almost be eaten until next autumn." You guys, don't you really plan to sell a little?"

"It's not for sale, the old woman said, anyway, now the family has bought new clothes, and there will be no New Year's goods this year, this pork will be kept for yourself, and the money for buying pork will be saved in the future." Old man Zhu laughed so hard that his mouth cracked to his ears.

In previous years, when the pigs were killed, did they not only keep a little for the New Year, and most of them were sold?

No way, although it is raised every year, but the pigs are not fat, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, you have to rely on this pig to add New Year's goods to the family, in addition to the money to be exchanged, how much is left?

"That is, it is definitely cheaper to raise your own pigs than to sell them outside. Butcher Li said with a smile, "I will also be invited to kill pigs next year, I promise to kill you beautifully, and no blood will be wasted." ”

Being able to kill a few more fat heads, Butcher Li himself is happy, because this is also a kind of happy thing.

When people know that he is easy to kill fat pigs, others are willing to invite him - this is a superstition, as if as long as he kills, the pigs in the family can be fattened a little.

"You pig kill beautifully, of course I have to look for you. Don't worry, I'll look for you next year. Old man Zhu handed him the prepared red envelope.

This kind of red envelope, in addition to being a hard line, is wrapped in "red paper", which is also to drive away evil spirits.

As a pig killer, the murderous spirit is heavy, wrap the copper plate in the red paper, and you can press it, which is good for the main house or the pig killer.

As soon as Butcher Li pinched it, he knew that the Zhu family was kind, and he had packed two more pieces than usual, and he was also happy in his heart.

Don't look at the fact that killing pigs for others can make a few pennies, but which one doesn't only come once a year, he will earn it for a while, and there is nothing to earn.

So, on the surface, it seems that butchers like them are very profitable, but in fact, it is not so easy.

Butcher Li also inquired with Old Man Zhu about how his family feeds pigs, and how he is fatter than other people's families. Maybe Butcher Li doesn't raise pigs himself, but when he kills pigs, he talks to the master's family, and the owner's family is also happy.

Old man Zhu didn't think so much, and said happily: "What's the trick, it's to wash the pigsty frequently and feed it more diligently." My old woman is very particular, the pigsty is swept every few days, and even the pig food fed is cooked......"

The matter of putting screws inside, Old Man Zhu didn't know.

He is not responsible for feeding the pigs, and the time he will come into contact with the pigs throughout the year is probably the time to buy piglets and kill the pigs.

The old woman said that pigs, like people, also like cleanliness. If you give it a dirty place to live, it's not happy to live there," Old Man Zhu said a little playfully, "It's cleaned, it's in a better mood, and it's a little happier to eat." Do you think that's the reason?"

Butcher Li didn't know if the other party was completely telling the truth, but he also said with a smile: "You are right to say this, you look at the animals on the mountain, and they also like to run to clean places, maybe that's the reason." ”

"That's the reason, it lives comfortably, and then cooks the food and feeds it, and it eats happily, eats more and sleeps well, and slowly grows meat. ”

......

The pork was unloaded into pieces, and there was no work left for Butcher Li, so he sat there and chatted with Old Man Zhu, as well as good tea and snacks.

As for the yard, Zhu Da and Zhu Er helped clean it up.

What pig blood, pig fur and the like, these can be sent to the "compost pit", which is a good thing to make compost.

When Butcher Li ate it for the first time, he was surprised: "What is this?!"

"Oh, the food cooked at home, the old woman asked a few daughters-in-law to make it. "Old man Zhu didn't go into the kitchen, so he didn't know how to do it, he just ate it, like peanuts, and wrapped a layer of bean dregs and something like that.

"It's so hard in here, what kind of beans are they, why are they so fragrant when chewed?" Li Tu ate a few grains, and he was a little reluctant to eat them.

I was embarrassed in front of the main family, but when I thought of the baby at home, I still opened my mouth cheekily and said that I wanted to pretend to go home.

"You can have all kinds of beans, there are several flavors. Old man Zhu also ate a few grains, "It's the seeds that I usually plant, and the old woman took advantage of my lack of attention, picked out some excess, wrapped them in bean dregs, and made them into snacks." If you like it, just pack it more, you wait, I'll get you a little basket. ”

"No, no, I'll just put it in my clothes. ”

"Don't, this bean dregs is easy to fall off when touched, so let's use a basket. When Old Man Zhu entered the house, he took a small bag-like thing about the size of a palm from sun-dried palm leaves, and handed it to Butcher Li, "There is this." ”

"This thing is very practical. Butcher Li poured out half of it at once, after all, he was a guest at someone else's house, and if it was all gone, it would be "embarrassing" for them to do it here.

He was going to throw away his share and eat less.

"There's a strap here, pull it and you can tie it up. Old man Zhu reminded him.

"Can it be like this? Yes, yes, who came up with this?" At first, Butcher Li thought that the twine was for carrying, and he didn't want to be able to tie his mouth, making it look like a cloth bag, a little surprised.

Cloth is more expensive, and most people are reluctant to use it to make bags, so they can only buy such a precious thing as rice and noodles, and there is no way, so they will be ruthless to match one.

But this "small basket" of the Zhu family, as long as it does not contain something as fine as rice noodles, can basically be used.

"It's not my girl, she learned to weave bracelets with her mother, and when she usually has nothing to do, she uses a thinner thread to weave some of these small bags. Old man Zhu said, "Try your best, so you can't hold anything at this point, so it's better to make a few more bracelets and sell them." ”

Thinking of the girl in the Zhu family who was already able to make money, Butcher Li couldn't help but be envious: "You can't be talking about the eighth sister? Your eighth sister is really powerful, she can make money for the family at such a young age." Let me tell you, my mother-in-law often tells me that your eight sisters are skillful, and they make things that are both beautiful and easy to sell, and every time you go to the market, you can see that a lot of ...... are sold."

Of course, when he didn't say it, when his mother-in-law said it, she would scold the second girl of their family, who was about to get married, and was still "fishing" the family foundation, and he didn't know how hard he would grow up and get some dowry for himself.

People say that he kills pigs to make money, but who knows, there are four golden flowers in the family, and the dowry alone worries him to death.

I don't know if it's because he killed too many pigs, hurt Tianhe, and gave birth to four girls in a row before he got a son.

When the eldest girl got married, he gave a dowry, and next year it will be the second girl's turn, and there are two girls behind him, all of whom have to "stick to the old book", which is really sad for him.

Where is like the girl of the Zhu family, there are still three or four years before getting married, and she has already begun to save her own dowry, and she doesn't know how much money she wants to save for her mother's family. Moreover, if you rent her craft that will make money, you will definitely be able to pick a good family.

Butcher Li, envious.
