Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"You tell your second uncle." The second aunt said while cooking: "It's best to do it in these two days while there is still time."

Now is the time to dig the ground. In two more days, when the weather is hot, it is time to plant the seeds.

Don't plant seeds too early in the Northeast. If it is too early, the temperature will not rise, and the seeds will freeze to death in the ground.

Commonly known as "Fenzier", it means that the seeds are buried in the ground due to the low temperature and humidity, and cannot germinate. After a long time, they should rot and freeze to pieces.

When the second uncle came back at noon, Ding Tian told him about the slaughter of pigs.

Sure enough, the second uncle also agreed: "Okay, kill two pigs first, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, I will catch two pigs and raise them for you." Tiring you." Ding Tian immediately refused.

To be honest, the two pigs were not raised by him, but by his predecessor, and he didn't care much about them. Pig grass can be beaten if he wants to, and he can be fed rice bran if he doesn't want to be beaten. The two pigs can grow so fat, thanks to the cousin Tang When the brothers mow the grass from time to time, they throw two handfuls into it.

"Alright then." Knowing that his nephew didn't want to take advantage of his family, the second uncle of the Ding family didn't force it.

After agreeing on the matter, Ding Tian went to find Butcher Ding that night. Originally, this kind of asking for help was supposed to be paid for the hard work of Butcher Ding.

But Ding Tian still wanted the pig to go into the water, so he gave Butcher Ding ten copper coins and two catties of fat meat, and the matter was settled.

The reason for giving such a high price is that it is the busy farming season, and Butcher Ding's family has more than [-] mu of land to work on.

Butcher Ding came the next day, and the second uncle and third uncle also got up early and greeted everyone in the village. Ding Tian's family slaughtered pigs.

Please eat a pig-killing meal, and give everyone some oil and water, so that you can have the strength to plow in the spring.

In fact, the arrangement is relatively compact, and there is only one meal at noon, so that no one's farming land will be delayed.

The big guy has no objection, anyway, I go to eat meat, and some people want to buy meat, but Ding Tian doesn't sell it, he doesn't lack that little money, he thinks it over, a pig for all the old and young in the village to eat together, one pig, one pig Divided into two, two uncles' homes, half of the family.

"How did this happen?" The second uncle didn't quite agree after hearing his distribution: "What are you keeping?" Agreed: "Even if each person has a piece of meat."

"And your uncle's house..."

"The village chief's family should also be filial..."

Having said that, Ding Tian felt that two pigs were not enough.

"You kid is too honest, half a pig is enough for the whole village." When the third aunt heard that he was going to entertain the whole village with a pig, she was stingy right away: "Whoever kills a pig will divide it into four parts. One for dinner, one for a gift, one for the family, and one for the family, it’s not bad.”

"I'm not thinking, everyone has taken care of me, and I don't have anything to repay everyone, so I just treat you to a meal....

Ding Tian said embarrassedly: "If there is less meat, what's the point?" "

"Tian'er, it's different. Everyone's family eats a quarter of the pork, and you can't justify eating the whole pig." The third aunt persuaded: "You are twice as rich as others, and half a pig is enough. It's gone." The second aunt was more open-minded: "Half a pig, everyone will say that you are sensible and benevolent."

"That's half a pig." Ding Tian is the type of person who listens to people's advice to eat enough, and besides, he doesn't know much about the ways of the world here, so he was right to listen to the old man, so he decided happily.

For half a pig, he would invite the whole village to eat a pig-killing meal. As for the half pig, he would save a hind leg and send it to his uncle's house, and take the rest back to the yamen to make connections and give gifts.

For the other pig, he still gave half of the family of the second and third uncles.

This matter is not negotiable, he insisted on such a division.

"Spring plowing requires effort, and there is not enough oil and water, how can it be done!" Ding Tian gritted his teeth: "I have eaten the bacon at home for so many years, no matter what, I have to give the two uncles some spring fat at this time. "

"It's always autumn fat, where is spring fat." As a result, he was laughed at by the whole family.
