Lazy people also have spring

Chapter 38 Pork

When Uncle Liu and his group returned to the village, the people in the village were all excited. After so many years, it was the first time that ten wild boars had been hunted out.

Because of guarding the mountain, the hunting team harvests one or two wild boars every year, and sometimes there are three or four wild boars, but it is the first time in history that there are ten wild boars like now, not to mention that this is just one of the hunting teams. Team.

More than [-] strong laborers, carrying ten wild boars on their shoulders, raised their heads and chests unconsciously under the envious eyes of everyone, looking particularly high-spirited.

After going through this dangerous situation and getting such a harvest, let alone impetuous emotions, everyone in the team wished to divide the wild boars on the spot and take them home.But Wang Meng, the hero who shot and killed six wild boars, was ignored by everyone.

Not to mention young men who have never seen the world, adults who often participate in hunting are also very excited. Even Uncle Liu, who has always been prudent, flushed with excitement at this time, and waved excitedly at everyone, "According to the usual practice, stay here!" A wild boar was sent to the village chief’s house, and the village chief presided over the distribution of the meat to each household, and the rest were carried to my house, and then we will calculate the total, whether to divide the meat directly, or buy the cents together!”

"Okay!" Hearing Uncle Liu's words, everyone became even more excited. Two or three couples carried wild boars weighing two to three hundred catties, but they didn't feel heavy anymore, and their foreheads were sweating profusely. After a few minutes, without any help, he ran into Uncle Liu's house in a flash.

Everyone else ran into Uncle Liu's house, and Wang Meng and others who were left behind could only go to the village chief's house once.In fact, according to Wang Meng's strength, one person can lift a whole wild boar of three or four hundred catties, but everyone is very grateful to him for saving everyone and bringing them such a rich return, so he left the caretaker. The smallest wild boar, weighing only more than 100 jin, is half-big. Even Anda has a good relationship with him, so he can easily carry him.

Wang Meng didn't really need this kind of care, but he was sincerely thanked by everyone for being able to take care of his uncle, so Wang Meng accepted everyone's kindness.

After sending the wild boar to the village chief Huang Boren's house, and explaining the matter clearly, Wang Meng went home. After all, his contribution was there, and he was not afraid of others' repudiation, and Anda, the representative, was still there.

"How could you have two or three heads of wild pork, will you exchange them for money? Or keep a few catties for yourself?" Anda asked him before leaving.Although domestic pigs are raised by almost every family, wild boars are rare, and the price in the market is more expensive than that of the owner. It is also a face to be used in weddings.

"Leave one end, you don't need the rest." Wang Meng thought for a while and said.

"One end?" Anda was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded, "This is too much, pork is not easy to put in this season."

"Not much." Wang Meng made up his mind and nodded affirmatively.Really not much at all!

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Anda couldn't persuade him, so he shook his head and left helplessly.

Everyone is very active in such a good thing as dividing the meat. Not only did Uncle Liu quickly get someone to help Anda bring back a whole 360-jin wild pork, but also the village head, An’s family and Wang Meng’s two households also got eight pounds of pork.

Speaking of this, when the meat was distributed in the village, the village chief originally wanted to take care of it and leave a back seat for their family. The fat meat there was always a place that everyone scrambled for, but Mrs. Zhou observed that her children liked to eat ribs, especially Wang Meng didn't like the greasy taste of fatty meat, so he reluctantly gave up the benefit.

The benefits of getting it are gone. At first, Mrs. Zhou was very distressed, but when people around her praised her for making a good marriage with her son, and some people asked around about Wang Meng's situation, she felt very happy. I don't feel bad anymore.

Especially, when she got home and saw Father An was leading Wang Meng and Anda to pack up the wild boars they got, she felt even better.It's just that the amount of pork...why doesn't seem right?

"Oh, here is Ayi's [-]-odd catties of pork, all brought back, and Mengzi's over there, he let him keep a whole head." Father An explained.

"A whole head? Mengzi, why do you keep so much? The meat has not been put out these days. It's just salted. I can't find so much salt at home." The pork looks at least 300 How many catties, if it is all salted, how much salt will be used?These days, salt is much harder to buy than pork.

"Auntie, don't worry, you don't need to marinate all of it, save half of it for Adda's wedding, and you and my uncle's family can finish the rest." Wang Meng smiled sincerely.Presumably he had already made up his mind when he was calculating.

"That can't be done, that can't be done!" Mrs. Zhou shook her head violently, "If you leave it to your uncle, it should be deserved. What's the matter if you leave it to our family? Not to mention you set aside half of Ada's head. No way. No, your uncle will pack it up for you later, and you can take it to the city and sell it." This is not married yet, how embarrassing it is to accept so many things from others.

"No, that's what I said just now." Father An smiled and shook his head, "But he screwed it up, he just didn't listen to persuasion."

"It's Mengzi. You should sell it for money. Our family has already ordered a pig for the wedding banquet. It's really useless." Anda also persuaded.He is warm in his heart to be missed by others, but he, the eldest brother, can't take things from his brother-in-law for granted. "Ayi, it just so happens that you come to persuade him too. I accept his kindness, but this pork is really unnecessary!"

An Yi was originally here to ask someone to carry hot water. To clean up wild boars and shave pigs requires a lot of hot water.Unexpectedly, just as he walked over, Anda caught a young man.

"Have you decided?"

Wang Meng thought that An Yi was also here to persuade him, but he didn't expect to hear him ask him that, he couldn't help laughing, his heart was very soft, "Yeah."

An Yi chuckled lightly, then turned to face her relatives, "Father, mother, eldest brother, since he left behind on purpose, you should stop pushing. Pushing back and forth, it seems too much. And at the wedding banquet Adding an extra dish of wild boar meat is also the face of the elder brother and our family."

The three members of the An family: "..." Ha ha.

Even if you say we are speechless.But where are you from?

Anda: Is it really the water thrown by the married brother?

"Then...if you don't mind, we'll take the ones for the family to eat, but Auntie will convert the half of the wild pork for the wedding banquet into money for you, or Auntie and your uncle will feel uneasy." Zhou After a moment of silence, Shi compromised.

"Auntie..." Wang Meng still wanted to decline, but was kicked on the calf by An Yi, swallowed the words again, and nodded silently.

Half a pig weighs more than 180 catties, and a catty can be sold for [-] yuan in Yuliu Town, and [-] yuan in the village.But now it is autumn, when there are many wild animals, the price is not so high, usually ten cents.The Zhou family didn't do the calculations with Wang Meng, and just put together a whole sum for him, two thousand Wen, which was equivalent to two taels of silver.

The matter of the wild boar was also satisfactorily resolved.After all the wild pork was cleaned up and it was getting dark, Wang Meng carried the pork up the mountain early the next morning.When he arrived at Yu's house, Yu Qingheng knew that his nephew had made such a big splash, so he was so happy that he couldn't help but not only took him to put incense sticks on his parents' graves, but also drank all night, so he insisted on leaving him at home. For two days, if Wang Meng hadn't pushed that his house hadn't been built yet, he wouldn't let it go.

…………

On the day they came back from hunting, every household smelled like meat, but after a full meal, only two days later, the autumn harvest began.Although the harvest is busy and tiring, everyone is happy in their hearts, especially this year when the weather is good and every household is full of grain, so there is no need to worry about going hungry this year.

Busy, the autumn harvest is over, Anda's wedding is finally long overdue on the third day of the slack season...

The day before the wedding, the neighbors who were invited to help gathered at Anjia.A large group of people, male and female, are divided into two groups, all busy in and out, and those who are not enough need to purchase, and then they are festooned with lights and decorations to settle in this old house that is at least 20 years old. Changing into new clothes, wanting to make it glow with a new spring light again, the busy one is called a torrent of heat.

Although he hasn't officially married yet, as the future son-in-law of An's family who is already engaged, Wang Meng is also obliged to help. No, a few days before the preparations for the wedding started, he left the house he was working on early , came to Anjia.

"Slaughtering pig~ slaughtering pig~ there is pork to eat~~!" The children in the same village saw the butcher in the village come out of the house with a knife in their hands, singing, shouting, running and jumping happily, running beside the butcher. In front, he led the butcher all the way to An's house.

The children in the village are often more informed than the adults, and they knew that there was going to be a happy event in An's family as early as when they started hiring helpers.

There is a wedding banquet when there is a wedding, and the wedding banquet has to kill pigs and chickens. Doesn’t this kill pigs have to have pig dishes?This group of children is the most spooky, and they took aim at this pig-killing dish early on. Once it was passed on, the children in the whole village knew about it, and they were all waiting for the feast on the day of the pig-killing.

"Today is just a pig-killing banquet. When tomorrow is the day, I heard that there will be wild boar meat!" The well-informed child showed off to his companions.When talking about wild pork, recalling the few mouthfuls of wild pork he ate a few days ago, he almost couldn't saliva.

"Really?" The friends were indeed attracted, and the sound of drooling could be heard vaguely.

"Of course!" The little boy raised his head high...
