Chapter 077: What the hell is the drawing?
Lin Xiaoman said: "Aunt Qi, I went to the countryside to buy this pig, I haven't fed a single bite of feed, and it was raised with pure wild vegetable bran." It's just that it's hard to raise, and the family has a total of two, one of which was bought by me, and the remaining one is to be kept for the New Year. ”
I heard that I couldn't buy it, Aunt Qi was a little regretful, "It's too little, this half of the pig should be kept at my own house to eat, if I still want to sell it in the villa." ”
Lin Xiaoman spread his hands helplessly, "I can't do it this year, if Aunt Qi wants it, I'll talk to that family next year and let them raise a few more." ”
Aunt Qi waved her hand, "You also said that it is difficult to raise wild vegetables and bran, we really order pigs with them, and they also have to use feed, and it will be troublesome to pull up the skin at that time, so forget it." ”
Lin Xiaoman didn't say anything, there was no feed available for the pigs they raised there, but since Aunt Qi was worried, she wouldn't tell her first, and it would be a big deal to raise them next year.
In addition to pigs, she also wants the people in the village to raise more sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, because their eggs and meat taste better than those here, and the price is more expensive than ordinary eggs.
Anyway, she is eating, even if the eggs here are called stupid eggs, although they are big, but the taste is a few grades worse.
Aunt Qi's farmhouse is famous, and there is an endless stream of guests who come every day, often worrying because she can't get good ingredients, if she gets all the breeding and planting over there, she can not only help the villagers earn more money, but also help Aunt Qi solve the problem of ingredients.
Before Lin Xiaoman's family pickled sauerkraut, Lin Daqiang's family also pickled a few jars, and some people in the village also learned the same after knowing it, and Lin Xiaoman went to teach it.
After the sauerkraut is pickled, the rich people kill a pig by themselves, and the people who don't have money will also buy some pork bones and pork back, and stew the sauerkraut at home every day to eat.
Some people who don't have pickled cabbage at home will also come to Lin Xiaoman to buy a few and stew them back.
Lin Xiaoman bought vegetables for two or three for a penny, and now the pickled ones are sold for a penny, only to make a hard money, mainly to let the people in the village know that the sauerkraut is delicious, and they can eat some fresh vegetables in the winter in the future.
Since entering the wax moon, the fragrance of stewed sauerkraut wafts over the east of the village every day, and several families of the Lin family in the west of the village often eat stewed sauerkraut with big bones, and the exiled Xu family and relatives of the Xu family are hungry and scold their mothers behind closed doors.
Xu Qiuliang and several of his younger brothers, who are also concubines, followed the villagers to make kang for more than a month, and at least 100 wen a day came in. In the new year, the work of the chassis kang stopped, and after being idle, several families bought half a pig.
Xu Qiuliang thought about the smell of stewed sauerkraut wafting in the village every day, so he took a bucket and went to Lin Xiaoman's house to buy a bucket of sauerkraut.
When he arrived at Lin Xiaoman's house and knocked on the door, Lin Xiaoman opened the door and was stunned when he saw Xu Qiuliang standing outside with a bucket.
Xu Qiuliang said: "Little Man girl, I want to buy a few sauerkraut." ”
"Oh, buy sauerkraut, uncle come into the house, I'll fish out a few and pick it for uncle."
After speaking, Lin Xiaoman let people into the courtyard.
Xu Qiuliang saw Lin Erhu squatting in the yard and taking a branch to scratch on the snow, and when he got closer to see the bend in the song, he couldn't understand anything, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "What kind of ghost is this drawing?" The young man looks strange and clever, and there is no shortage of a few bundles of cultivation in your family, why don't you send him to study? ”
Lin Erhu who was practicing English words......
Lin Xiaoman wiped the snow with the soles of his shoes, erased the English words, and smiled at Xu Qiuliang, "It's too late this year, I think I'll send him to study at the beginning of spring next year." ”
Seeing that Lin Xiaoman didn't want Lin Erhu to study, Xu Qiuliang showed a somewhat satisfied look and followed Lin Xiaoman into the house to fish for sauerkraut. After scooping the sauerkraut, I heard him say that he bought a pig at home, Lin Xiaoman taught him how to deal with the pig's offal, taught them several dishes, and gave him a bag of barbecue ingredients, although Xu Qiuliang didn't say anything, he was very grateful to Lin Xiaoman in his heart.
When I went out again, I saw Lin Erhu in a daze holding a branch in the yard and frowned again: "Don't wait for the beginning of spring, it's going to be the New Year, you let him go to my place every hour to read with me." ”
Lin Xiaoman was surprised when he heard this, "Erhu, don't kowtow to Mr. yet." ”
She heard Lin Daqiang mention that this person who had been a big official in the capital at the beginning, and could be such a big official, if it wasn't for the monstrous power in the family, then the worst would be a jinshi and first, and after contacting the Xu family, she was very sure that such a person would definitely not be from a family, and Xu Qiuliang's official position was completely obtained by his own efforts.
If such a person with real talent and real learning wants to teach Erhu to read, she will not be stupid.
Lin Erhu was still waiting for Xu Qiuliang to leave so that he could continue to practice English, and was suddenly accepted by Xu Qiuliang as a student and was stunned, and only reacted when he heard Lin Xiaoman ask him to kowtow to his husband, and respectfully knelt in the snow and kowtowed to Xu Qiuliang three times.
Xu Qiuliang was just not used to seeing Lin Erhu draw blindly with a stick, and wanted to teach him to recognize a few words, but suddenly someone kowtowed, Xu Qiuliang was embarrassed to say that he didn't want to accept students, so he just pretended to nod his head deeply, "Well, I will study hard in the future." ”
Lin Erhu responded happily, Lin Xiaoman went into the house and took two killed chickens and a pot of hot pot base, and filled a basket of cabbage and chrysanthemum, and after thinking about it, he filled a pot of mutton slices bought there, "Sir, this is the apprenticeship of the two tigers of our family, and the shabu-shabu is particularly delicious when I go back, and Shu Xiu will give it to Mr. when he sends the two tigers over to study tomorrow." ”
"I didn't teach him to read, it wasn't for the sake of cultivation, that's enough." Xu Qiuliang waved his hand, but his eyes lit up when he saw the extremely thin mutton roll, and praised: "Xiaoman girl is good at knife skills." ”
Lin Xiao was full of weakness, "It's not that the knife skills are good, but they are planed with a carpenter's planer." ”
"How can it be? The little girl is smart. Xu Qiuliang suddenly seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
Seeing that he was very satisfied with today's apprenticeship, Lin Xiaoman didn't say that he had to give Shu Xiu this matter. If he really taught Erhu to read, she would send him some delicious food in the future.
She found out that this Xu Qiuliang is a pure foodie, and she will send him a few jars of wine during the New Year.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Lin Daqiang grabbed two big fat pigs from other villages, one of which was six or seven hundred catties to be said to be less visual, and there were 13,400 catties at the two ends.
After removing the bones and internal organs, the whole village eats a meal, and then distributes it to each family, and each family can also get a few catties.
Lin Dawu took a few strong men in the village to tie the pigs to the bench, but he didn't expect the two benches to be crushed directly, but fortunately, the pig's blood was not shed everywhere.
Since Lin Xiaoman learned to fill blood sausages here, the blood and internal organs of the pig-killing family have not been fed to the dogs this year, and those dogs have eaten more bones than in previous years.
