A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 685 It's just selling pork, almost got shot!
Former West County Middle School

"Shaoping, Shaoping, someone is looking for you at the gate."

"Liu Hong, thank you," Sun Shaoping thanked the classmate who reported the letter, put down the book in his hand, and walked out of the dormitory, thinking that it should be Sister Runye, and he also knew Sister Runye in the county.

Run Ye stood at the gate of the middle school, kept looking around the school, saw Sun Shaoping, waved happily, "Shaoping!"

Sun Shaoping took two quick steps and said happily, "Sister Runye."

Run Ye took out two apples from the bag and stuffed them into Shaoping's hands, "Take it."

"Thank you, Miss Runye." Sun Shaoping took the apple and asked, "Sister Runye, who are you looking for?"

"Are you going back today?"

"Go back, what's wrong?"

Run Ye said, "Go back and tell your brother that I have to make up lessons for the students tomorrow, so I can't go back to Shuangshui Village. I will definitely go back next week."

"Oh, I see."

"That's all, I'm leaving."

"Sister Runye, goodbye." Shaoping waved goodbye to Sister Runye, turned and went back to the dormitory, looking at the two apples in his hand. Hao Hongmei's figure suddenly appeared in his mind. "Shaoping, where did you get the apples?" Tian Runsheng left Entering the dormitory, seeing the two apples in Shaoping's hand, he asked curiously.

Sun Shaoping gave Runsheng an apple, and said, "Sister Runye just came to see me and gave it to me, and it happened to be one for each of us."

Tian Runsheng wiped the apple with his cuff, put it to his mouth and took a bite, "My sister treats you much better than me. It's almost half of the semester, and I just came to see me once at the beginning of school." .”

Sun Shaoping picked up the apple and took a bite, "You go to Sister Runye's for a toothbrush every now and then. By the way, are you going back today?"

Runsheng nodded. Last Sunday, the school organized a labor battle. He hadn't been back for two weeks. "What about you? Are you going back?"

"Go back."

"Then how about we go catch loach together tomorrow?"

While talking, the bell rang for the first class in the afternoon, and the two looked at each other, and it was time to do hard work.The two left the dormitory together, went to the playground to get the labor tools, and then followed the large army to the back mountain, brandishing shovels and hoes
At 04:30 in the afternoon, Sun Shaoping and Tian Runsheng, who were half dead from exhaustion, rode out of the school on the [-]th pole. Along the way, they alternated riding and it took nearly two hours to return to Shuangshui Village.

"I'll call you tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

When Sun Shaoping bid farewell to Runsheng and returned home, he saw his family sitting neatly on the kang, with two plates of black-faced steamed buns and several bowls of black bean porridge waiting for him to serve on the dining table.

"Grandma, Dad, Brother, Lan Xiang"

Little sister Lan Xiang'Teng Teng Teng' ran to the door, looked outside the door, and then tied the door.

"Lan Xiang, why close the door?" Sun Shaoping looked puzzled, it was almost April, and it wasn't winter.

Lan Xiangshen said mysteriously, "Second brother, you'll find out later." As he spoke, he walked to the cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and brought out a pot of barbecue. Sun Shaoping's eyes widened in shock, looking at the A large plate of unknown barbecue, could not help swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva. "What kind of meat is this? Where did it come from?"

Wang Lidong said, "Roasted rabbit meat, from the back of the mountain. Eat more."

Sun Shaoping didn't even think about it. Now his mind is full of roasted rabbit meat. After his father Sun Yuhou started, he hurriedly put a piece of roasted meat into his mouth. It was so delicious.

Wang Lidong picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in the old lady's bowl. In order to take care of the two elderly people in the family, he specially used the method of "beggar's chicken" to make the rabbit meat crispy.

The old lady took a bite of the meat and said happily, "An'an, I got a rabbit again."

Wang Lidong smiled, "Well, I got another big fat rabbit today."

Shaoping swallowed the meat in his mouth, and said in surprise, "Brother, how many rabbits have you trapped these days?"

Wang Lidong said, "Well, I don't know what's going on this year. After the beginning of spring, there are rabbits everywhere in our back mountain."

Sun Shaoping's heart moved, dried loach is delicious, but rabbit meat is even better, so let's forget about catching rabbits with Runsheng tomorrow, "Brother, what kind of rabbit do you use?"

Wang Lidong glanced at his younger brother and said, "Why, you also want to trap a rabbit?"

Sun Shaoping nodded.

Wang Lidong casually said a method of trapping rabbits would definitely be useful, but whether he can trap rabbits is not up to him to decide.

After listening to it, Sun Shaoping found it a bit complicated, so he took out a pen and paper from his schoolbag and recorded all the steps.

The younger sister Lan Xiang rolled her eyes. My second brother was probably stupid in reading, and he would believe his elder brother's nonsense. For so many years, there have not been a few rabbits in the back mountain of his house. Since the beginning of spring this year, she often goes to the back Mountain mowing hogweed, let alone a rabbit, I have never even seen a single rabbit fur.

After Sun Shaoping finished recording, he checked with his eldest brother that there were no mistakes or omissions before he put the notebook back into his schoolbag, and then told Wang Lidong what Sister Runye asked him to bring.

Wang Lidong said, "Sister Runye, why didn't you let me go to the county to find her?"

Sun Shaoping shook his head.

Wang Lidong thought to himself, maybe he was afraid that he could not afford the ticket.He took out his pocket, two dimes, two pennies
Shuangshui Village - the original Xixian ticket costs 0.63 yuan.

(°-°〃)
While eating, the family listened to Shaoping talking about all kinds of interesting things that happened in the school, and the dinner was enjoyable.After dinner, just as the dining table was cleared, the second father, Sun Yuting, shouted outside the door, "Brother." Sun Shaoping got off the kang and opened the door, "Second father."

"Shaoping, you're back."

Sun Yuting entered the room with dry tobacco, and smelled a faint smell of meat. He sat on the edge of the kang, took the elder brother's cigarette pouch, and grabbed a handful of tobacco leaves from it, but his eyes were like radar, scanning the corners of the room. I scanned the corners and found no trace of meat.

Sun Yuhou smoked a dry pipe, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's been a few days since I came to see Mom." Sun Yuting lit a dry cigarette, took two puffs and said to Wang Lidong, "Shao'an, the pig feed land has been allocated. You can continue to be the captain without worry."

Wang Lidong asked with a puzzled expression, "Second Dad, when did I say I'm going to be the captain of the first team again?"

Seeing that his nephew didn't look like a joke, Sun Yuting panicked.The new team leader, Tian Fugao, couldn't hold back the players at all. After a few days, the first team had lost their minds, and after leaving the field, they all started to work abroad. If this continues, by the end of the year, their first team's harvest will definitely drop a lot compared to last year. .

This is related to everyone's dividends, and if the second team overtakes, then Tian Futang's position will be shaken, and he, Sun Yuting, as Tian Futang's right-hand man, will definitely be affected as well.

Sun Shaoping said in surprise, "Brother, are you not the captain of the first team?"

"Yeah." Wang Lidong excused being tired, got up and went back to his small soil cave, took off his shoes and got on the kang, he had to go hunting in the middle of the night, so he had to hurry up and rest.

Sun Yuting looked at his eldest brother and said, "What is Shaoan thinking! Brother, why don't you persuade Shaoan. It will cost hundreds of work points a year. There will be famine at home next year. What about Shaoping and Lanxiang's tuition fees?"

Sun Yuhou took two puffs of dry smoke, and said in a muffled voice, "Shaoping and Lanxiang's tuition fees, and the money from selling live pigs are enough. Now the family has meat to eat every day, so don't worry about it."

Heartbroken!
Sun Yuting looked at the dried loach under the eaves of the corridor, and before he knew it, the eldest brother's family could eat meat every meal.He thought that his family was still hungry and full, and there was a little bitterness in his mouth, and he had no intention of continuing to lobby. After filling his pipe with shredded tobacco, he said hello and left the elder brother's house.

Sitting on the stone mill in the yard of Sun Yuting's house, Tian Futang saw the dejected look on the deputy's face, and felt a bad premonition in his heart. He hurriedly asked about Sun Shaoan, and learned that Sun Shaoan really didn't want to be the captain, and he was a little numb.

"If it's not right, it's right. I don't believe it anymore. Without him, Sun Shao'an, our large team wouldn't be able to farm well."

In the middle of the night, the whole Shuangshui Village was immersed in sleep, Wang Lidong gently opened the door, the creaking sound was particularly ear-piercing in this quiet night.

He pricked up his ears and listened to the movement at home. Both the old man and grandma were sound asleep.

He checked the equipment, two kettles, butcher's knife, two big sacks, some spices for barbecue, a big straw hat, and a towel.

Everything is ready.

Wang Lidong circulated his internal energy, tapped his toes, and instantly disappeared in place, appearing on the top of the cave, confirming the direction of the Shigejie Commune, his whole body flew towards the southwest like a black light and shadow.

A while ago, he spent a day exploring all the ten miles around Shuangshui Village, but he was a little disappointed. There were only two places with wild animals. One was the Immortal Mountain in Jinjiawan, and most of them were small animals.There is also a group of wild boars on a few barren hills next to the Shigejie Commune. It is estimated that there are as many as forty or fifty wild boars.Today he was going to kill a wild boar and then sell it at the market for some money.

Four or five minutes later, Wang Lidong stood on the top of an unnamed barren mountain near the Shigejie Commune. He found a big tree, jumped onto the top of the tree, looked around, and quickly found his target. There was a herd of wild boars half a mile away. Hum Chi Hum Chi arched the ground.

After a few breaths, he stood beside the herd of wild boars and counted them. There were 13 wild boars in total, 5 big ones, and 8 half-sized piglets. Liang, with two big fangs on his forehead, faintly told the assailant, 'I'm not easy to mess with'.

When more than a dozen wild boars were enjoying their meal, they suddenly found a two-legged beast beside them. The elder brother who took the lead gave two 'humming' sounds, pawed the ground twice, and prepared to charge, and overturned the intruder.Suddenly felt a pain in the neck, "Plop" the big black pig fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then fell silent.

"Plop, plop." After a while, more than a dozen wild boars lay on the ground. The scene looked quite spectacular.

Wang Lidong casually grabbed a half-big wild boar beside him, opened its hind legs, and found that it was a small boar. He drew out the butcher's knife, and "shua", two 'balls' fell to the ground. From then on, there was no root of trouble. .

The little boar in a coma woke up in pain, turned up and wanted to run
It hasn't been sterilized yet, so why worry!
"Crack!" Wang Lidong stretched out his hand and patted the boar's neck lightly, the little boar rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground again with a "boom".

The simplest and most practical method of disinfection and sterilization in rural areas is to use plant ash. He cut two large bales of hay, chopped a pile of firewood, and made a fire.
Ten minutes later, the entire pig herd, except for the 6 sows, and the other 7 boars became eunuchs.A young boar and the largest wild boar were left behind, and the other wild boars were released.

Wang Lidong brought up the big boar, weighed it, and estimated it weighed three hundred thirty-forty catties. Even though it was so heavy, after slaughtering, there was only one hundred sixty-seventy catties of meat left.

The meat production rate of wild boars is not high in the first place, and now it is spring again. After a winter of hunger, a 50% meat production rate is very good.

Hang a big wild boar on a big tree, shave off the pig hair with a knife, put it on the fire, and roast it for two rounds, the body becomes clean and smooth, and there is no prickly hand. a feeling of.

Then disemboweled the belly, put the pig's head and pig's offal into a sack, and stuffed the rest of the pork, which was estimated to be 150 catties.

When another boar was about to be slaughtered, Wang Lidong suddenly turned his head and looked to the rear right, only to see seven or eight wild wolves appearing four or fifty meters away, staring at his side.

These beasts have sharp noses, and it seems that the smell of wild boar's blood attracted them.

After looking at it twice, he stopped paying attention. The meat of wild wolves is too unpalatable to sell for any price.

After he slaughtered the boar, he skewered it with wooden sticks, took the kettle, poured out onion, ginger and garlic water and wiped it, and after doing a simple deodorization, he set it on the fire and turned it over and over again.

After a while, the roasted pig sizzled, drop by drop of lard fell into the fire, and the flames 'suddenly' strung up a few centimeters.

I glanced at the direction where the wild wolves appeared. It was empty, and I don't know when they left. Count them as sensible.

Half an hour later, Wang Lidong cut off one of his front legs and took a bite. His mouth was filled with the smell of pork, and the meat was not too sticky or fishy. Praise!
Within a few minutes, a pig thigh went into his stomach. "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" A big cat suddenly appeared ten meters away, staring at the roasted wild boar in front of Wang Lidong, and barking a few times.

What the hell sound.

Wang Lidong sized up the visitor, there were two tufts of black hair on his ears, it turned out to be a lynx.The slightly bulging abdomen is still a pregnant lynx cat. You can see the ribs even if you look thin, and you don’t know how long you haven’t eaten.

"Crack", he cut off the head of the roast pig and threw it in front of the lynx.The big guy looked at him and then at the pig's head. He didn't move for a long time, but he didn't walk away.

Looking at the tangled face of the lynx, Wang Lidong cut off a front leg and began to chew it happily.After he finished gnawing on the pig's leg and burped in satisfaction, the lynx still squatted on the spot, yelling 'owwow' from time to time.

A cigarette after a meal, Sai Guo is a god.

Wang Lidong took out the big front door, lit one, took two sips and a burst of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

Half an hour later, he carried 150 catties of wild pork, carried the pig into the water, and carried more than half of the roast pig to the market in Shigejie Commune.

Originally, he was wondering if he would come earlier, afraid that there would be no one there, but he didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people in the ghost city, at least a hundred people, and most of them wore hats to cover their faces to prevent being recognized by acquaintances. .

Wang Lidong didn't set up a stall first, but walked around the market with pork on his shoulders.I often come here during the day, but this is the first time I visit the black market.

The stalls sell everything, white flour, cornmeal, vegetable oil, chicken and duck.

The price is several times higher than that sold to the relevant departments of the imperial court, and some are even five or six times higher. No wonder they risk being "captured" and come here to sell.

After shopping around, I found that there was only one pork seller in the entire black market, and the price was not cheap. A catty of pork was 1.3 yuan, almost double the official price.

With his mind finally settled, Wang Lidong found an open space, took out a sack and spread it out on the ground, and as soon as he took the wild pork out of the sack, several people surrounded him,

"Young man, how do you sell the meat?"

"How much is this wild pork?"

Wang Lidong quoted, "8 cents a catty."

A short old man squatted down and looked at the pig's head. It must have been killed not long ago. The fat is a bit thin, only half the thickness of the little finger. It sells for 6 cents a catty. I want to sell it for 5 cents and 6 cents a catty, and I’ll give you 5 catties.”

His son is going to have a wedding soon, but he doesn’t have a meat ticket in hand, so he can only buy black market meat, but just now, after shopping around, there is only one stall selling pork. Although 1.3 yuan per catty is a bit expensive, it is still acceptable. But the meat was not very fresh, and had a faint smell, so how could he dare to buy it.

Wang Lidong said, "This is the price, no bargaining!"

He had inquired a long time ago that the market for wild boar meat was around eighty-nine cents.

The old man hesitated for a while, then whispered, "You don't want meat tickets, do you?"

Wang Lidong waved his hand, "No need."

"20 catties." The old man pointed to the belly of the pig and told Wang Lidong to cut this side, which is the fattest part of the pig.

Wang Lidong raised the knife, picked up a large piece of meat, looked at the old man and said, "16 yuan."

The old man was puzzled, "Why don't you weigh yourself?"

Wang Lidong said, "Twenty catties is not much more, one or two less will pay you one catty."

A steelyard is not cheap, the poor Sun family is almost eating dirt, usually they only sell some vegetables from their private plots, how can there be such a thing.

The old man took the meat and weighed it. He felt that the weight should be quite large. After paying for it, he went to an acquaintance's stall not far away and asked someone to help him weigh it, 20.3 catties.

"I want 5 catties."

"I want 3 catties, the one near the back thigh."

"How do you sell the pig's head?"

After more than an hour, Wang Lidong felt that something was wrong. Many vendors in the market were closing their stalls, so they listened carefully.
"Hurry up, the Shige Festival militiamen are coming soon."

"It's not five o'clock yet, isn't it usually at 05:30, why are you here so early today?"

"Someone is going to report."

"Which bastard is it?"

"I heard it's the melon rind of pork belly"

"It's him again!"

He could tell by his nickname that he sold pork. Wang Lidong glanced at another pork stall, it was empty, and he didn't know when it was closed!

He hurriedly closed the stall, if he was caught, he would be ashamed.

And Tian Futang was worried about what to do with him.

Today's business is good. I brought a whole wild boar, but only a dozen catties and two pig's trotters were left.
Just as he was about to stuff the meat into the sack, suddenly two strong men appeared in front of the stall, one of them with a bald head pointed at the pig's head and said, "How do you sell this piece of meat?"

"8 cents a catty, and the remaining 11 catties, you can take it for 8 yuan and 5."

"It's all bones, you still sell it for 8 cents, it's cheaper...?"

The two strong men sometimes said that the meat was too thin, and sometimes said that the meat was not fresh. They were simply making trouble out of no reason. Wang Lidong noticed something strange, stuffed the meat into a sack, and carried it away.

2 Seeing that he was about to leave, the strong man immediately surrounded him one by one and said, "Hey! Why do you do business?"

At this time, five or six militiamen with long guns appeared at the entrance of the market, "Get out!" Wang Lidong punched the man in front of him in the waist, and then pushed his elbow back, "Puff!" The two spurted blood
This time he used [-]% of his strength, two bastards dare to bully him, so he can spend the rest of his life in bed!

Seeing several militiamen take off the guns on their shoulders, Wang Lidong's hair stood on end, and he used his internal energy to rush into an alley in the upper right corner of the market.

Running left and right, after a dozen breaths, he looked at the Shigejie Commune a few hundred meters behind him, no one was chasing him, and he exhaled.

Safe.

MMP!
I just sold pork myself, almost got shot!
Is this TM still the country of the world?
Ten minutes later, Wang Lidong returned home, entered his small cave dwelling, took out today's harvest from his pocket, looked at a large pile of ten-cent bills, and his somewhat depressed mood immediately improved a lot.

"Crack," I lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and when I was about to count some money, I heard footsteps in the courtyard. It belonged to my little sister Lan Xiang, walking towards my house.

With a 'creak' sound, the door was pushed open, and Lan Xiang saw that her elder brother was at home. She had come here 10 minutes ago, and seeing that the kang was covered with banknotes, she said in surprise, "Elder brother, what did you do?" So much money?"

After Wang Lidong asked the little girl to close the door, he ordered, "Count some coins."

"En." Lan Xiang didn't ask any more questions, and counted the coins seriously. After Wang Lidong counted the banknotes, the little girl reported the amount of the coins after a while, "Brother, the total is 10.56 yuan."

He has a total of 106.97 yuan in his hand, including coins, a total of 117.53 yuan.

Wang Lidong took out five pieces and handed them to Lan Xiang, "For your pocket money, you can buy whatever you want. From now on, I will give you five pocket money every month."

Seeing that Lan Xiang didn't take the five yuan, he rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Don't worry, the money came cleanly. Your eldest brother and I will not be short of money in the future."

I can't go to the black market in Shigejie Commune for the time being, but there are many towns nearby, such as Mijia Town and Yuanxi County. As long as I have good things on hand these days, I am not afraid that they will not be sold.

Seeing that her elder brother was determined, Lan Xiang didn't refuse any more. She happily stuffed the huge sum of five yuan into her coat pocket, and patted it with reassurance.

"looking for me?"

Lan Xiang said, "It's a good day, I just want to wash some of my brother's dirty clothes."

Such a good boy.

After Wang Lidong let Lan Xiang go out, he changed the two dirty clothes on his body, and handed the piled up trousers and clothes to the younger sister.

"By the way, Lan Xiang, did you bring your lunch box back?"

"Bring it back, what's the matter?"

Wang Lidong said, "Go and get the lunch box now. I want to use it."

"Oh," Lan Xiang came out of the small cave with a lot of stinky clothes, put them into the big wooden basin, ran into the cave, and ran back to the big brother's small cave with the lunch box.

"Wow, big brother, where did it come from?" Lan Xiang asked in surprise when her big brother pulled out half of the roast pig from the cotton bag.

"Didn't you just ask where the money came from? The elder brother caught two wild boars, one big and one small, in the back mountain. The big one was sold. Let's make a tooth sacrifice for the small one. By the way, keep the big pigs secret." Wang Lidong cut off a piece of pork belly and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth.

Although the pork was already cold, Lan Xiang ate it with relish, nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Wang Lidong cut a lunch box full of roast pork, stuffed the remaining pork into a cotton bag, and handed it to the little girl, "I'll take it out and cut it at lunchtime."

Lan Xiang took the bag, "Brother, aren't you home for lunch?"

"Well," Wang Lidong said, "I'm going to the county."
