Chongxi husband and wife who are sick

what?

The villagers of Fengjia Village wondered for a moment whether they had heard it wrong.

Five taels a catty?Are you sure it's not Wuwen or Fifty Wen?

Seeing the stunned faces of the villagers, the village chief smiled. He understood their mentality very well, because he was like that at the time.

He said loudly again: "You heard me right, it is indeed five taels a catty. Now I have more than 300 taels of silver in my hand, which is the money we got from selling green plum wine and apricot wine. Shopkeeper Feng has already said that we He will charge as much as he pays, and there is no other place for fruit wine, so we don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it!”

After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which was the fruit wine contract, and three banknotes and a small bag of silver. The banknotes were in denomination of 100 taels, while the silver was dozens of taels of silver. It's all the money they sell.

The money was brought out, the contract was brought out, the villagers finally did not suspect that they had heard it wrong, and the villagers sitting in front did not doubt it even more, they clearly saw the five or two words written on the contract, they did not recognize it very well I don't know the characters, but I know the numbers, and the silver in the hands of the village chief.

Fruit wine really sold for five taels of silver a catty!

More than 300 taels of silver, their family can get more than five taels!The grain drying field was silent for a moment, and then there was an uproar.There were whispering voices below, and then someone asked excitedly if they could make more fruit wine and make more money, and the village chief answered one by one.

Si Yun and Feng Heng sat on the edge of the sun-drying field, Feng Heng held Si Yun's waist, looked at everything in front of him and whispered to him: "Ah Yun, you brought all of this, thank you for doing it These."

"You don't need to thank me." Si Yun grinned, "I'm thinking of both of us."

He found such a profitable business for the village. As long as the village is smart, they will not trouble them again. In this village, they can live a stable life.

"Old Chen, is your fat pig ready? The whole village will have a banquet tonight. From now on, the work in the field will be stopped. Let's celebrate!" the village chief said again.

A skinny man stood up from the crowd and shouted with a big smile, "Village Chief, the fat pig is ready! It will be slaughtered immediately!"

The fat pigs in the village are not actually fat pigs, because they don’t have much feed and they eat grass, so they don’t grow very strong. They are very thin, but no matter how thin they are, they are still a big lump of meat, which is enough for the villagers to eat happily.

A catty of pork costs about 60 Wen, and the pigs in Chen Butcher’s family can be over a hundred catties at most, which weighs about the same as a person and is very thin.Excluding visceral hair, etc., the meat can be more than [-] catties. If you sell it loose, you can earn more than one tael or nearly two taels of silver. It is cheaper to buy it whole, and you can buy it for a little more than one tael.

But even so, more than one or two is still a ghost, so the village chief's decision is really generous.

After talking about the rules for participating in the banquet, and when he would make fruit wine again, the village chief asked people to disperse, and then went to kill the pigs!

……

Butcher Chen is a butcher in Fengjia Village. His family raises a few big pigs every year. When the pigs grow up, he will find a good time to kill the pigs and sell them. Together with several surrounding villages, go to the county to discuss with the butchers before killing them.

Because pork is expensive, it cannot be sold in the village, and each household does not buy much meat, so it can only be sold in the county.

Moreover, although Butcher Chen sells pork, his family doesn't often eat meat. After killing pigs, they only eat the unsalable pigs for tooth sacrifices, and more of them sell them for money.

Usually, when it comes to slaughtering pigs, he is both happy and worried. He is happy because killing pigs means making money, and worried because he is afraid that they will not be sold and he will not be able to eat the meat.But today is different. Not only does he not have to worry about selling out the meat, but he can also eat meat!

Never was Butcher Chen as happy as he is today.

After getting the pig out of the pigsty, Butcher Chen's face was full of laughter, and he and his son grabbed the pig's ears and dragged the pig out, then tied it up on a stool in the yard, washed its neck, and took a The large wooden barrel is placed just under its neck.

The pig howled desperately, butcher Chen didn't feel annoyed when he heard it. Instead, he patted the pig's neck haha, took the knife from his son, and stabbed the pig's neck. Bright red and warm blood flowed from the neck. The pigs howled even more.

Surrounding audience: "..."

A little happy and feeling a little strange what is going on.

Ignite the fire to boil the water, scald the pig and shave it, and finally disembowel and clean the internal organs, and a pig will be tidied up gradually.On the other side, other dishes are also being prepared at the same time, and there is no need to choose a location. They spent half an hour building a few stoves in the sun-drying field. At this time, the fire has already been lit, and they are waiting for the cooking to start.

Those who didn't come also lit a fire at home, and the village head decided to distribute some meat to them. Don't worry about not being able to eat meat. Butcher Chen is steady, and the meat distributed by each household is very even, half a catty for each family, no more, no less , just enough.

The pigs were also dealt with. Luckily, Liu Guo and his family had a wedding yesterday, and Mr. Liu and his family also had a rest today, so they didn't go out to set up a stall.The few of them are now considered to be able to cook in the village. Whether it is vegetables or meat, they can handle it properly. Even if it is a pig, it can be very delicious.

To celebrate, all three families took out their own condiment packs, and the village head's family didn't give up much. They also donated three catties of seventy yuan per catty of jam for the villagers to taste.

The banquet officially started after eight o'clock in the evening. The dishes on the table were so rich that the villagers dared not recognize them. Jam, stewed meat, skewers, skewers in cold pot, braised pork, roasted pork ribs with radishes, were as rich as yesterday's wedding ceremony held by Liu's family. It's the same, but it's a pity that there is no wine, hahaha, if you don't drink wine, they sell it, which is better.

After the village chief gave an order, everyone began to eat.

One more thing, although there is only one person from each family, but there are two people from Feng Heng's family, the reason is not much to say, the villagers all understand.

The dishes are delicious, the soup is delicious, and the meat is delicious.Everyone was very happy, talking and discussing with the people around them while eating. This night, the entire Fengjia Village was beaming with joy.

"Liu Guo, are you all so rich in Fengjia Village?" Liu Guo's new wife also made an exception and asked while eating.

She came to the meeting this afternoon, and was shocked when she heard that fruit wine could sell for five taels of silver a catty.Later, under Liu Guo's explanation, she knew what fruit wine was, and she was even more surprised.If they could really sell for that much money, wouldn't they be able to earn tens of taels of silver every year?

Liu Guo's family has cold pot skewers, and they make a lot of money, a lot.Liu Guo's new daughter-in-law thought that Liu Guo's family should be very profitable, and even the most profitable, but she didn't expect that Fengjia Village shocked her cognition again.

Is this money so easy to earn now?

Hearing this, Liu Guo laughed, grabbed a small piece of pig's trotter for his wife, and said, "It's not that everyone in our Fengjia Village is rich, but there is someone in our Fengjia Village who can make money. You will know it later. But you Don't tell anyone, it's a secret."

Liu Guo's daughter-in-law listened and nodded ignorantly, so she wouldn't say it outside, she knew the rules.

This night, everyone had a great meal, but the next day everyone woke up late, obviously they didn't drink, and they were also drunk.After waking up, the second batch of fruit wine makers went to work, and the others continued to work on their own fields. Before the new year came, Fengjia Village already had a new look.

"What's going on here?" Matchmaker Zhao once again went to Zhou's house, standing at the door, she looked at the people from Fengjia Village who were coming and going with smiles on their faces, full of doubts.

Aunt Zhou opened the door and quickly welcomed the person in. She only casually said a few words that they were in a good mood and brought him into the house. She asked eagerly, "Matchmaker Zhao, do you have any news?"

Matchmaker Zhao took a sip of tea, and stopped thinking about why the people of Fengjia Village were so happy, and focused on the matter in front of her.

"Yes, there is news. It's just that you know about your son's situation. This man's conditions are not so good."

Aunt Zhou's heart tightened, but she said calmly, "Tell me, it's okay."

No matter how bad this condition is, how bad could it be?It can't be worse than Xiao Zhuang's condition.

Matchmaker Zhao put down the teacup in her hand, and took out the things she had prepared. It was the information of several girls, and put them all in front of Aunt Zhou.

"I did a search for you, and there are a total of three families that have that intention."

"Tell me." Aunt Zhou didn't know many words, she could only understand some.

"In the first family, the situation of the girl is a bit similar to that of Xiao Zhuang in your family, except that the girl is not stupid, but deaf and deaf. She has no problem communicating normally, and her hands and feet are also dexterous."

deaf……

"The girl in the second family is dumb. When she was young, she got a severe cold and couldn't speak later, but she looks upright, and she is a good hand at home and abroad. There are many young men in their village who want to marry her. "

dumb...

"The last girl is good, but their family heard about your family's situation and worried that Xiao Zhuang would not be able to take care of her in the future, so the gift money is more, 30 taels of silver."

30 taels, much more than girls in the city.With that money, they might as well buy a girl back... Not only that, but with so much money, who knows whether to take it back for their small family or for their natal family. After she goes with Lao Zhou, what will Xiao Zhuang do?That girl looks amazing.

After Zhao Matchmaker finished speaking, she sighed, "I helped you pay attention when I was talking to Liu Guo last time, and I found these three in the past few days. Take a look. If you think it's okay, I'll give it a try. Go back, if it doesn't work, give me an approval letter earlier, so as not to make it difficult for the girl to wait."

Aunt Zhou came back to her senses, reluctantly sent Matchmaker Zhao out with a smile, said to think about it, and then went back into the house with a dazed look on her face.

Everyone in the village can make money, and life is getting better, so why is it so difficult for their family.What's the use of making money? After they die, their sons will not be able to find anything.

"Mother Xiao Zhuang, why don't we ask Lao Ma again, didn't he get a medical book from Heng Zi's family, maybe if we work hard, we can figure out a way."

Why is Xiao Zhuang in their family so miserable?
