Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Early on the next morning, Liu Yu and Chang Sheng went out. There was no need to sell porcelain today, and the car was quite spacious. When they walked to the entrance of the village, they met the village chief's eldest son Wan Rui and second son Wan Ren, who were driving cattle. The car is coming.

After asking, it turned out that they were also going to Xujiaba to set up stalls at the market. Unlike the two of them, Wan Rui and Wan Ren were selling Spring Festival couplets instead of money.

The two parties exchanged a few pleasantries, and since Wan Rui and the other two had cattle, Liu Yu let them go first.

"Okay, you two stay behind and wait a little longer. Come to us when you get to Xujiaba, and then we will set up a stall next to me and your Uncle Ren!" Wan Rui smiled and waved to Liu Yu and Liu Yu, flicking the bullwhip lightly. , the old scalper carried the two people forward.

The old scalper's footsteps were not very fast, and Liu Yu never rested along the way. When the two of them arrived at Xujiaba, Wan Rui and the others were able to set up a simple stall.

Just like Shangzhang Town, a few people were not placed on the streets, but were only placed on a grass market at the entrance of the town. The sun had risen, and the sunshine was shining on the earth. The chill of the early morning soon dissipated. Come, there are more and more people carrying baskets on their backs.

Liu Yu laid out the money he brought one by one, and also took down a bench from the car so that Changsheng could sit down.

Wan Rui's calligraphy is good, and he is tactful. The Spring Festival couplets are sold very smoothly, and he is also very kind and knowledgeable. As long as he makes a deal, he will definitely recommend these customers to come and see the money Liu Yu sells.

"These are all new patterns that are popular in Fucheng this year. It's hard to carve them! Stick them on the door and window. They are festive and auspicious. Keep them and make a fortune in the coming year."

Listening to Wan Rui soliciting customers for them, Liu Yu smiled gratefully at Wan Rui while introducing Qian Zi.

Although he and Chang Sheng can sell seven or eight eight dollars per episode, they are not as fast as Wan Rui at his stall.

If there are guests later, Qianzi will be the first to watch the door, and in return, Liu Yu will also recommend people to take a look at the Spring Festival couplets written by Wan Rui.

Liu Yu sold out all the things he brought before Wan Rui. There were a lot of people at the moment. Liu Yu and Wan Rui said they wanted to buy some things for the banquet, so they pushed the cart ahead of them.

"The market town in Xujiaba is not as big as Shangzhang Town, and things are slightly cheaper than those in Shangzhang Town. There is no need to buy tofu yet. There are still a few days left. If you wait until then, you will either have frozen tofu or frozen tofu. Stinky tofu.

Leaving aside the tofu, they went to the grocery store and bought two kilograms of dried fungus for 100 yuan, two plates of firecrackers, and a few small firecrackers.

In the past, when his cousin got married, he had let this thing go.

Things were almost ready. Liu Yu pushed Changsheng to find a noodle shop and wanted to serve two bowls of plain noodles. He took out the chopsticks from the chopstick holder on the table, endured his stomach that was about to cramp with hunger, and as soon as the noodles were served on the table, he Start eating.

After three chopsticks, Changsheng looked around a few times, leaned into Liu Yu's ear, and whispered: "Without your strong rolling skills, the toppings would not be as delicious as the ones at home!"

Liu Yu was amused: "If I have some free time tomorrow, I'll roll out noodles for you to eat. I'll deal with two bites for now."

Changsheng felt a little resentful when he saw Liu Yu's misunderstanding. He didn't mind that the noodles were not delicious. They were made from white flour and had fried toppings. The soup was delicious, but it was still inferior to Liu Yu's craftsmanship!

For the next two days, the two of them went out to set up stalls as usual, occasionally buying some odds and ends, until the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Liu Yu got up early before dawn. Today, it was Li from the south of Henan. The day when the butcher comes to kill the pigs.

Killing pigs requires a lot of hot water. Liu Fusheng and Nian also got up. Changsheng couldn't sleep anymore, so he put on his clothes and went to the kitchen to light the fire. Liu Yu and Nian cleaned the big basin at home and kept it for later. I will collect the pig blood later.

After a while, Liu Maolin and Liu Maoye came to the door. After Changsheng had boiled two pots of water, Butcher Li came over with knives.

Under the command of Butcher Li, the benches at home were put in place, the old door panels that were not being used at home were laid on them, and Liu Yu also drove the pigs out of the pig pen.

With the help of the Liu Maolin brothers and Butcher Li, Liu Yu quickly tied up the pig's four hooves without anyone else lifting it. With such force with both hands, a pig weighing one hundred fifty sixty kilograms was thrown to the old door panel.

"Uncle Liu, this little grandson of yours has so much strength!" The two villages are only separated by a river, and they are not far apart. Farmers know that when a cow gives birth to a calf, it can be passed on to several nearby villages. .

Butcher Li had long heard about the fact that Old Han Liu's family had a young brother with extraordinary strength. In the past, he thought the person who spoke about it was ignorant and exaggerated. But when he saw it today, he realized that the person who spoke had reservations.

There was a lot of noise from the pig killing here, and men from nearby houses came to watch the fun. Seeing Butcher Li sharpening his knife and cutting the pig, they all hurriedly stepped forward to help butcher the pig.

Butcher Li showed his knife, but Liu Yu couldn't bear to look at it, and hurriedly stood up to avoid it. Before he could take two steps, he heard a shrill howl, which made Liu Yu's heart tremble with shock, and he hurriedly walked into the kitchen.

Nian, Xu Hong and Qi Chunhua were carrying the coarse porcelain basin out to collect the pig's blood. Changsheng was adding firewood to the stove. If he looked carefully, he could still see the lingering shock on Changsheng's face!

"I'm scared. You are still weak and don't have enough courage. Then you can take a pig's heart to replenish it and you won't be scared anymore!"

Changsheng looked at Liu Yu suspiciously. He might have lacked courage, but eating pig heart to replenish courage was unheard of. He suspected that Liu Yu was deliberately entertaining him.

After the pigs are slaughtered, the next step is to shed their hair. Liu Yu is not needed for this job. The two brothers Liu Maolin and Liu Yu's three brothers are all wrapped up.

After the pigs shed their hair, they disassembled the pork. When Butcher Li dismantled the pork, Nian asked him to add water to the pot and let Changsheng continue to cook. After a while, the pig blood coagulated and the pig blood could be boiled.

The cooked pork is called pork. Whether it is boiled in pig soup or stir-fried over high heat, it tastes very good. Pig is nutritious, and it is a delicacy in the eyes of those who love it.

Butcher Li took over the title of butcher from his father, Mr. Butcher Li, and has been working for many years. Not only does he kill pigs efficiently, but he also disassembles pork very quickly. A pig is quickly broken into several pieces. Except for the trotters, all other parts are intact. It can be said to be the separation of flesh and blood.

After the pigs were disassembled, there was nothing wrong with Butcher Li. Taking Nian's hard-earned money wrapped in red paper and a pair of pig liver and lungs, Butcher Li strode away.

The people who helped with the pig removal this morning were all members of the family, so there was no need to leave anyone to eat the pig-killing rice. Liu Maogen and the Zhang family members who were nearby knew that Liu Fusheng's family was killing the pig for a wedding banquet.

After seeing that the pigs were disassembled, in order to avoid embarrassment to the owner, they all excused themselves to go home for dinner, and one and two of them left cleanly.

After breakfast, Wan Changsong came to the door. After the pig was killed, the next step was to prepare the dishes for the banquet.

The chopping boards at home were moved outside, and the basins and buckets were cleaned and kept for later use. Xu Hong and Qi Chunhua also hurriedly went home to bring in the unused coarse porcelain basins and knives.

After Liu Yu was instructed to clean the pots and buckets, several people took a few benches, moved the pieces of meat to the chopping board, and began to process the meat.
