Chapter 40: The Technical Work of the Big Cow
When Zhang Daniu came back, she had already washed the dishes, chopsticks and pot, and mixed water in the pot.
Zhang Daniu came in, put down the bucket and came over to light the fire.
"I'll burn it, you go and do your business, I'll call you when it's done."
Zhang Daniu nodded, said the word 'good' and left the kitchen.
Zhang Daniu, who came out, was not idle, and began to weave the back basket, and as soon as the bottom was made, Zhou Yiran came out of the kitchen.
"The water is boiling."
As soon as he heard that the water was boiling, Zhang Da Niu immediately put down the work in his hand, got up and went to the kitchen, and after a while came out with a basin of steaming water, and there were two turtledoves soaked in the basin.
She watched Zhang Da Niu pinch the turtledove's feet, let it soak in hot water, and then lifted it up and pulled the hair.
I saw that when he pulled it gently, the hair fell off, and then he lifted it up and plucked it, and a turtledove became smooth in three or two times, and she immediately turned around and took out the little dustpan and put it next to him.
Zhang Daniu looked at the small dustpan she brought, smiled, didn't speak, continued to make another one, and carefully twisted the fine fluff after finishing it.
She watched from the sidelines and stretched out her hand: "I'll come, you go and weave the back basket." ”
Zhang Daniu thought that this turtledove didn't have much fluff, so he nodded and gave her the turtledove: "The lady will put it aside after finishing it, and I'll fix it later." ”
"Okay." Zhou Yiran nodded, and then lowered her head and twisted her hair.
The village chief came over, and saw that the two of them were busy, and they couldn't bear to disturb them, but the two of them heard the sound of footsteps, and at the same time raised their heads to look at the gate.
Seeing that it was the village chief, Zhang Daniu got up and said, "The village chief has something to do when he comes to my house?" ”
"I heard that you hunted wild animals again today, and tomorrow is your aunt's birthday, thinking that she has suffered with me for half her life over the years, buy something for her." When the village chief said this, he was a little embarrassed.
After listening to the village chief's words, Zhou Yiran concluded that the village chief was a good man.
"I don't know if the village chief wants a rabbit or a pheasant." Zhang Daniu asked.
"Here's a rabbit!" After speaking, he glanced at the turtledove in Zhou Yiran's hand, turned his head and asked Da Niu, "Is there any such thing?" ”
"Yes, village chief, wait a minute, I'll get it for you."
The village chief nodded, watched Zhang Da Niu go in, and after a while, he came out with a rabbit and a turtle dove in his hand, the rabbit was still kicking, and the turtle dove was also alive, and the things that Zhang Da Niu hunted in this village were alive, even if he asked him how to do it, he still couldn't learn it, and when Zhang Da Niu came over, he reached out and took the rabbit over, weighed it, and then paid for it.
Zhang Daniu watched the village chief count, until the village chief counted seventy dollars and was still counting, he immediately stopped the village chief.
"That's enough, not so much."
"What is enough, this rabbit weighs at least five catties, fifteen yuan a catty, that is, seventy-five yuan, although the turtledove is not valuable, but it has to be counted as ten yuan." After speaking, he ignored the big cow, counted eighty-five dollars directly, stuffed it into his hand, turned around and left.
Zhang Daniu took the money and scratched his head.
Zhou Yiran, who was on the side, laughed when she saw him like this, and there were people who hated a lot of money.
Zhang Daniu walked up to her and handed her the money in his hand.
"You take it."
Zhou Yiran, who looked at the money, was not polite, reached out and took it, got up and went to the house, put the money in the box, and counted it carefully, there were a total of one hundred and thirty-one yuan.
Zhang Daniu didn't know that she had this plan, if she knew, she would definitely be more diligent in making money.
