farming in ancient times
Work related
Gold is enough for you to buy a family business. "Ren Yuan snapped his fingers and said, "Just talk about this pork stall, we sell [-] catties of pork a day, and Fangzheng has to give away at least [-] catties, so people can only come to buy our pork next time. I really don't know what you're trying to do!" "
Hearing the words of the two subordinates, Butcher Gao choked, and said instead, "Rong and Di are still alive, I feel uneasy!"
The "Rong Di" he was talking about was a nomadic people who were active in the northwest of the Jinyu Dynasty. They often harassed the people on the border, burning, killing, and looting.
In the early years, the imperial court conscripted troops because the emperor wanted to start a war with the Rongdi people to completely eliminate the cholera on the border.
"The Rongdi people have signed a non-aggression treaty with Jinyu, so I don't know why you are uneasy." Ren Yuan said.
"The Rongdi family has no credibility and is capricious. Do you really think they are in peace?" Gao Butcher's face turned cold, "They were frightened by our gold and jade soldiers, and when they come to their senses, they will go around everywhere." Make a mess!"
"When they come to their senses, they still don't know about the year of the monkey." Ren Yuan didn't allow the general to argue any longer, "If you want me to say, we'll go buy land tomorrow, just in time for the spring planting."
"No, the general is going to Wang's Village tomorrow." Fang Zheng said.
"I told you I'm not going, so shut up!" Butcher Gao couldn't speak to his two subordinates, so he could only pretend to be serious with a sullen face.
"Don't. General, don't you want to know how that arrow-like thing is used?" Ren Yuan asked seductively.
"Hey, let me say Ren Yuan, didn't you still dislike Wang Xiaoer before, why did your face change so quickly?" Butcher Gao asked with his head tilted.
"I... When did I dislike Wang Xiaoer, don't think you can talk nonsense just because you are a general," Ren Yuan said.
"Wang Xiaoer touches our pork and you say why he turned it over, and laughed that he can only buy a catty of pork, Ren Yuan, when did your eyes grow to the top of your head, why don't I know?" Gao asked the butcher.
"Then...I...I thought that Wang Xiaoer didn't want to buy pork, but he didn't know that his family was too poor to buy it. Besides, I was scared by the people of Gao Laozhuang when I said that!" Ren Yuan stuck his neck He said that he refused to admit the general's "slander".
"Anyway, I'm not going." Butcher Gao turned around and walked into the courtyard.
"General, if you don't go, Ren Yuanminger and I will stop selling pork." Fang Zheng said he was even more bachelor than him.
"You guys!" Butcher Gao stopped in his tracks, turned his head and glared at the two of them fiercely, "You have the guts!"
"General, we don't have any. We are still waiting for you to find a general's wife to give us a baby." Ren Yuan saw that General was speechless when he and Fang Zheng squeezed him out, and laughed.
Speaking of the wife, Butcher Gao's face changed slightly, "There will be no girl who is willing to marry me."
Fangzheng and Ren Yuan glanced at each other, and they walked up to Butcher Gao awkwardly, and said eagerly, "General, if you don't have one here, let's go to the capital to look for it! You are General Pingdi personally appointed by the emperor. If you want to go back to Guanjiang Town, how can the emperor let you back?"
"Ren Yuan, you're wrong. If the emperor let the general come back, why did he still ask the general to hold the military talisman? The emperor just asked the general to come home to rest, and even perform his filial piety by the old man's side." Fangzheng said after a while, "General, you Grandpa and grandma have also gone, if you don’t go out to get some fresh air, let’s go to Kyoto early. When we arrive in Kyoto, we will visit the Marshal’s wife and let the old lady help you to see the girl.”
"I don't want to marry an official lady. It's so annoying to look at each other awkwardly!" Butcher Gao frowned. General, they know shit!"
Fangzheng and Ren Yuan's faces turned black from his left and right words, "Why didn't you reason with your aunt when she ruined your reputation, you will mess with us!"
"That shrew, I have nothing to say to her!" Butcher Gao snorted coldly.
"Yes, you are an adult and have a lot of money, so you don't care about women. But we have all been in town for more than a month, and you don't even have a friend, so what do you say?" Fang Zheng asked.
"It's not that shrew's broken mouth talking nonsense."
"You know that everyone fears you like a tiger. Even the magistrate dare not come to you when he comes to see you. Now that Wang Xiaoer invites you to his house, what are you talking about!" Ren Yuan continued.
"You still dare to mention the magistrate to me. If you hadn't gone to the county government to look for me, would the magistrate know that I'm back?"
"Who told you to run away on horseback without waiting for us to arrange things in the general's mansion? If we couldn't find you, would we go to the county magistrate and ask him to find out where your hometown is?" Fang Zheng asked back, " Who is to blame for this?"
"I can't say no to you!" Butcher Gao simply shut up.
"If you can't tell us, then you can go to Wang's Village tomorrow. It's fine to live in Wang's Village at night. We're here," Fangzheng said.
"This is my home!" Butcher Gao reminded.
"This is the house I bought with Ren Yuan, and my name is also on the deed," Fang Zheng said.
"You guys, you're going against it!" Butcher Gao was about to lift his legs angrily, and lowered his pair of eyes that were upright, "Why don't I go?"
Ren Yuan sighed, "General, don't think Fangzheng and I are meddling in my business, just say that in this month, you have talked to pigs except talking to us, and when the emperor asks you when you return to the capital, you will only Aww, if the emperor doesn't kill us, the marshal will push us out and kill us."
"You're the only one who can only scream!" Are you speaking human words?
"General, Ren Yuan can't talk, so don't bother with him. We just want you to make more friends, go around and have fun, and don't stay at home all day long." Fangzheng didn't say anything else until the general got to know him. There are more people here, and if someone knows about the general, the general's wife will not be far away.
"Then what do I do if I leave?" Butcher Gao ran around every day when he was fighting at the border, and suddenly he was put in a yard for a month. In fact, he had had enough.
"When Ren Yuan and I didn't find you, we weren't hungry." Fangzheng said and saw him stare, "Okay, I don't mention this, Ren Yuan and I can go to the countryside to collect pigs, and we can slaughter pigs, otherwise Shall we try it on you now?"
"No, butcher the pig now, and the pork won't be fresh until tomorrow. By the way, I'll get up early tomorrow and kill the pig before going to Wangjiacun." Butcher Gao clapped his hands, "That's it!"
Little Er didn't know that his momentary remark was about to invite Butcher Gao, so he pushed open the door and saw that the beams had been installed, so he said, "Grandpa, have you cooked yet?"
"Waiting for your meat." Old man Duan said.
"Hey, grandpa, don't worry, I'm buying meat." Xiaoer went to the backyard as he said that, and was about to take out the pork when his sister-in-law called him, "What's wrong?" Xiaoer asked.
"Xiao Er, look who this is?" Wang Hanshi said with a smile on his face.
Xiao Er followed her fingers to see an old woman wearing a headscarf, "I don't know her."
"This is the most famous matchmaker in our ten miles and eight towns." Wang Hanshi said while leading the matchmaker to drink tea in the room.
The matchmaker repeatedly waved her hands to say you're welcome, took a look at the Wang family's kitchen, smashed her mouth at the neat adobe bricks, and then looked at Xiao Er as if she was buying goods, "Second boy of the Wang family, I'm so happy!" Pat yourself on the thigh.
Xiao Er was startled when she saw her action, thinking that she was possessed by Wang Zhaoshi.
☆, the matchmaker ran away
Xiao Er stroked the numb scalp stared at by the matchmaker, and asked suspiciously, "Ma'am, what is the happy event?"
"Second boy of the Wang family, I heard about your conditions for getting married. Let me tell you, I have a girl here who eats less but works a lot. She has a big butt and can bear children. Do you like it?" The matchmaker spoke quickly. said.
"Ah?" Xiaoer was dumbfounded, what is the situation, "How do you know the conditions for my kiss?"
As soon as Xiaoer finished speaking, Zheng Feng pushed the door open and came in, "Xiaoer, I told the matchmaker, you don't blame Auntie, do you?"
"How can it be?" Xiaoer said with a smile.
The aunt of the Zheng family clearly told the sister-in-law that she would not help him make love, so why did she find a matchmaker again.
Because Zheng Daniu told his mother-in-law that Xiaoer had told him about the adobe when he came back to his home at noon yesterday. I feel a little bit in the mood.
When she went to the field to look for wild vegetables in the afternoon, she happened to meet the matchmaker who had been helping her girl get married. They both knew each other, so they stopped to say a few words, and Zheng Feng talked about Xiao Er's matter.
This matchmaker relies on talking about her relatives to eat, and there is no one in the ten miles and eight villages that she doesn't know.
When I got home and thought about it carefully, I really remembered a girl with a face like black charcoal, big arms and round waist, bald head and bandy legs, who was still unmarried, and then, and then became like this.
"Auntie, you see that my family doesn't even have a house, so come and say hello to me, where will I let the girl live later?" Xiao Er said with a troubled expression.
Hearing Xiao Er's words, the two brothers of the Duan family were about to speak, but Old Man Duan glanced across at them, and Wang Zhaoshi wanted to speak when he saw Xiao Er's eyelids blink.
Then let the matchmaker say, "Hey, I said the second boy of the Wang family. I asked about it when I came here. You are a good hand at living. Look at how well the stove is built in your house. How can there be less?" house."
"If my family had a better life, my elder brother would not go to other places to work. He is still poor." This is very true. If it is not poor, he will go to the town to buy a few catties of meat without his sister-in-law reminding him. Come back and let grandpa and uncle have a big meal.
If it weren't for being poor, he would go to the pork stall and carry a pig home, why bother to attract people's disgust for selling pork.
When the matchmaker heard this, she patted her thigh again, "Boy Wang, let me tell you the truth, if you are willing to get married, this girl doesn't want a bride price!"
How can there be such a good thing, Xiaoer was suspicious, but pretended to be surprised on the face, "Really?"
"Really!" The matchmaker slapped her hands on her thighs, "Is it done?"
"Is that girl neither fat nor thin, tall nor short, neither black nor white, handsome nor ugly?" Xiaoer asked anxiously.
"What?" The matchmaker was dumbfounded when she heard this, and walked around Xiao Er twice like watching a monster, unable to believe what she heard, "Do you think you are a fairy?"
"What does this have to do with Tianxian? Look at my sister-in-law, look at my aunt, aren't they both fat and thin?" Xiao Er said, staring at her eyes, "Aunt matchmaker, you, the girl you're talking about can't Is it a person with crooked mouth and eyes, walking straight and kicking his legs?"
Wang Hanshi was also surprised that there was no good thing in the world, and when she heard Xiaoer's words, she hurriedly said, "Auntie, yes, if this is the case, her family doesn't want a bride price, and neither does ours!"
The old man Duan is old and has experienced the most things. He knows that matchmakers like to exaggerate when they tell people about matchmaking, "I said you woman, how can you do this? No matter how poor our family is, we can't marry a girl with problems... ..."
"Who said there was something wrong! Who said there was something wrong! I think the problem is your family!" He pointed at Xiao Er, "Just like you, your legs are as thin as a bamboo pole, your hands are not as big as chicken feet, and your face is thin Like a ghost, what kind of person do you want to marry if you have no father or mother! Pooh! Your family is just using stingy money as ingots! Let me tell you, just like you, don’t even think about marrying a daughter-in-law for the rest of your life!"
"Get out, get out, get out! It's not uncommon for you to be a matchmaker in our family!" Hearing this, Duan Dazhi, who was sweeping the floor in the kitchen, took a broom and yelled at the matchmaker, "Get out! How dare you curse Xiao Er, you old godmother! Roll as far as you can, don't let me see you in the future!"
As soon as Xiao Er saw that people from all directions were looking towards her house, she hurriedly dragged her second uncle in, "Why are you yelling at her? How can you listen to what she said?" Seeing Zheng Feng standing aside in embarrassment, "Auntie , look, it's the matchmaker who caused the trouble, alas!"
"Xiao Er, it's also my aunt's fault, I came to you without asking her clearly, tell me..."
"Auntie, don't talk about it, I know you are in a hurry for our little brother." Wang Hanshi took her arm, "I saw this matchmaker once when your girl made an order last time. Hit her twice with the broom, what about your girl?"
"It's okay, the date of my daughter's marriage has been fixed, it's okay!" Zheng Fengshi was also embarrassed to stay any longer, "My family is still cooking, it's time to go back."
"Then I'll see you off." Wang Hanshi kept sending Zheng Fengshi to the door of Zheng's house before returning. Seeing no one in the yard when he got home, he sighed and walked towards the backyard.
As soon as I walked to the backyard, I heard my grandfather's roar, "Wang Xiaoer, you are rich! I asked you to weigh some pork, not to let you buy a big piece!" Then he took off his shoes.
The two brothers of the Duan family did not miss the soles of his father's shoes. Duan Dazhi grabbed his father's arm, and Duan Dayong snatched the shoe from his father's hand, "Father, don't you know the virtues of Xiao Er? You can also let the child say something." talk!"
"Say it!" Old man Duan pointed at Xiao Er with trembling fingers angrily, "Say it, I'll beat you again after I finish talking!"
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Er put the fat into the pot, and poured two scoops of water into it, "I just bought a catty of pork, these are all given to me by Butcher Gao!"
"Fuck your mother! I bought two catties of pork from your grandfather and the butcher gave me two taels. Your face is longer than your grandfather's, so what?" Old man Duan didn't believe it!
"If you don't believe me, ask Butcher Gao tomorrow!"
"Why should I ask, people know who I am!" Old man Duan panted heavily, staring at Xiao Er with fiery eyes.
"Of course Butcher Gao doesn't know what you do, but Butcher Gao knows me." As he spoke, Xiao Er added two handfuls of firewood to the bottom of the pot. dust.
"What? Butcher Gao knows you? How did you know?"
"Xiao Er, have you talked to Butcher Gao?" Wang Han asked hurriedly.
"I asked him if the fat was for sale, and he gave it to me." As he said, Xiaoer looked at his grandfather, "I don't know why he treats me so well, maybe he just thinks that I His face is so long!"
"Nonsense again!" When the old man heard that his grandson asked him to ask Butcher Gao, he already believed in his heart that Xiao Er only bought a catty of pork. When he saw a piece of meat on the chopping board, "Xiao Er, I should make it for your grandfather today. Have you eaten the meat?"
"That's it!" Xiao Er grinned, "Go ahead and do your work, I'll call you when I'm ready!"
With so much pork in the house, the old man Duan was not afraid that Xiao Er would be stingy and give him oily residue, so he said, "Da Zhi, Da Yong, let's go and fix the roof of the stove, and build the stove in the afternoon."
The two brothers of the Duan family nodded and followed the old man out. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, Wang Hanshi simply left too.
Xiao Er was the only one left in the backyard. When Xiao Er boiled the oil, he grabbed a handful of dried bamboo shoots and soaked them in it. shepherd's purse.
After the two dishes are out of the pan, Xiao Er will pancake.
The old man Duan smelled the scent that kept coming out of the backyard, and said to his son, "Go and see what delicious food Xiao Er cooks?"
"Father, I want to go to you!" Duan Dazhi glanced at his father, "You underestimate your grandson too much, if you don't cook so much pork for you, what kind of person is Xiao Er?"
"Stingy ghost." Xiao Er received it with a smile, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, let's eat."
"Look." Duan Dazhi muttered, "Did you see it?"
"Let's talk again! Tell me more, believe it or not, I'll beat you!" The old man Duan looked at a large bowl of pork, bamboo shoots, and oil residue in wild vegetables in the middle of the square table, "Xiao Er, how did you cook this dish? It smells It's so fragrant."
"It's the same as when we made bamboo sprouts earlier, grandpa, this pork is delicious." As he spoke, Xiaoer picked a large piece of pork belly for his grandpa.
"I don't need you!" The old man Duan glared at him, "You give me a good meal, eat fat, I don't see any woman dare to say that you are skinny like a ghost!"
"Grandpa, I'm not thin, but strong!" He stretched out his arms, "If you don't believe me, touch it, the flesh is hard!"
"It's as hard as it is, eat it well!" The old man Duan said that he only picked bamboo shoots to eat, and finally saw that Xiao Er finished eating two big cakes, and his complexion improved a little.
Xiaoer rubbed her swollen stomach and said to Wang Hanshi, "Sister-in-law, there are two catties of meat left, you cut it in half, and give it to the second uncle and third uncle later."
"Okay!" Wang Hanshi nodded, "Xiaoer, this is how we should do things in the future, we can't be stingy anymore."
"I don't have it." Xiaoer rubbed his nose awkwardly, "You can send the other half to my uncle."
"What?" Wang Han didn't hear clearly.
"The last time Uncle Han and my mother came to our house, they carried a lot of rice. When you go, take a catty of meat. The two sisters-in-law will not say anything nasty." Xiaoer said.
When Wang Hanshi thought of the two uneasy sister-in-laws of her natal family, she felt sore, "Xiaoer, sister-in-law has made a note."
Xiao Er didn't ask her what she had written down, and when she heard that her little niece wanted to rub her, Xiao Er knew that the little girl had eaten too much.
Brushing his niece's withered and yellow hair, Xiao Er vaguely heard his grandfather telling his two uncles in the front yard that he would go with them in the evening, so he said, "Sister-in-law, you can go tomorrow, don't let the meat taste bad." gone."
Wang Hanshi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, lowered his head and let out a "huh".Xiao Er saw his little niece looking at him in a daze, as if asking what happened to her mother.
Xiao Er pretended not to see anything, and carried her niece out of the backyard.He secretly vowed in his heart that as soon as sister-in-law Ming'er left and there was no one else in the house, he would start making plows, and then go to the county magistrate to exchange rewards. In exchange for the rewards, he would go buy cattle. He must live a prosperous life!
☆, foodie high butcher
While Xiao Er was knocking in the grain room, Ren Yuan and Fang Zheng were chasing the butcher at the pork stall in Guanjiang Town.
"General, it's almost noon, why don't you go to Wang's Village?" Fang Zheng asked.
"What did I say when I got there?" Butcher Gao really couldn't do anything with his two subordinates.
"When Wang Xiaoer left, he told you to go to his house to look at the plow. The reason is ready." Ren Yuan said, cut a piece of pork and put it in the bamboo basket, and then handed the bamboo basket to Butcher Gao, "Okay, hurry up." Go, if it's later, it's time for dinner."
"Are you really going?" Butcher Gao asked uncertainly.
"Go!" Fangzheng pointed at the person who was walking this way, "If you don't go, Ren Yuan and I will put away the pork stall, and we won't set up a stall to sell meat from now on!" If you put on a gesture, you will close the stall.
When Butcher Gao saw him like this, he hurriedly said, "I'll go right away, can't I go?"
"By the way, general, it's fun, don't come back too early, our house won't cook dinner early!" Fang Zheng was afraid that he would come back after meeting Wang Xiaoer when he arrived at Wang's house, so he hurriedly added.
Perhaps Fangzheng had caught Butcher Gao's mind, he staggered, and then hurried away with hands and feet.
Neither of them could see Butcher Gao anymore, Ren Yuan was still a little worried, "Do you think the members of the Wang family will drive the general out when they turn around?"
"Don't worry, I've already asked someone about it, and Wang Xiaoer's family is pretty good." Fangzheng said with great presence.
"What? When did you inquire?"
"I went out yesterday afternoon." Then he lay down in front of Ren Yuan's ear, and murmured what he had inquired about, "Don't look down on Wang Xiaoer from now on, it's really not easy for him."
"I didn't expect that there are people in this world whose family affairs are worse than the general's." Ren Yuan shuddered when he thought of the grandparents of the Wang family that Fangzheng was talking about, "When Wang Xiaoer comes to buy pork tomorrow, I will definitely cut more pork for him." A catty."
"Forget it, you can come to buy pork every day as a commoner."
"That's right, who would be willing to buy meat when it's not a festival?" Ren Yuan muttered, and began to greet people who came to buy meat.
The two sold out the pork they killed today, and Butcher Gao also walked to Xiaoer's house.
Butcher Gao dawdled in front of Xiaoer's house for a while, and the more he dawdled, the more he felt that his two subordinates were messing around.What Wang Xiaoer said yesterday was obviously a polite word, but they took it seriously.
Holding the bamboo basket, Butcher Gao thought about it, how about he throw the pork in the bamboo basket into the courtyard of the Wang family, and then go back to town?When Ren Yuan and Fang Zheng see that the pork is gone, they should think that he has seen Wang Xiaoer.
Butcher Gao thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea.
As soon as the heart moved, Butcher Gao took out the meat, and when he raised his hand, there was a problem.
The ground is full of dirt, so if the meat is thrown out, it will be inedible.
"Hey, why are you here?" Just as Butcher Gao turned to look for something to wrap meat, the door of Wang's house opened suddenly, and Xiao Eryi was shocked when he saw Butcher Gao.
As soon as Butcher Gao heard the familiar voice, his scalp went numb, he turned around slowly, and said, "I, um, I want to see if your thing is safe yesterday?"
"Not yet. If you want to see it, just come here directly, why don't you get meat." Said Xiaoer sideways and let him in, "Go and sit in the yard for a while, I'll get some firewood to start the fire, and I'll be back in a while!"
"Hey, that, I'll go with you." Butcher Gao hurriedly followed Xiaoer.
"No, it's right here." The little second-hand pointed out that it was the straw stack of the Wang family, just a few steps away from the gate.Otherwise, Xiao Er wouldn't worry about keeping a man he had only met once in his home.
When Butcher Gao saw this, he backed away and turned around to look at the Wang family's house. It was nothing compared to Gao Laozhuang's father's house, but the yard was cleaner than his father's house, which showed that the Wang family was very hardworking.
Turning his face to see the stove room beside him, Butcher Gao wondered, this room looks a bit strange.
Butcher Gao didn't know Xiao Er well, so he didn't dare to ask him about the kitchen. Seeing Xiao Er walking in with straw in his arms, he quickly helped Xiao Er close the door, "Is there anyone else in your family?"
"My parents have gone." After a pause, "Big brother and younger brother are working outside, and sister-in-law is back at her mother's house." Xiao Er put down the straw to wash his hands, and took the meat from Butcher Gao, "Have you eaten yet?"
Butcher Gao shook his head. He didn't eat An Sheng for breakfast, and he was full of listening to Ren Yuan and Fang Zheng.
"Then what do you want to eat?" The visitor was a guest, and this guest also brought a piece of pork. Xiaoer didn't mind entertaining Butcher Gao with his stuff.
"Anything is fine." Butcher Gao saw that Xiaoer had lifted the lid of the pot, so he sat down in front of the pot and waited for the fire to start.
Xiao Er saw his movements, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said intentionally, "I'm not very good at cooking, are you sure you can eat anything?"
"As long as it's cooked food, you can do whatever you want!" In order to capture the generals of the Rongdi tribe when he was fighting earlier, he didn't eat a bite of food for two days, so he lived well.
Xiaoer only thinks that he is easy to talk to, but he can't eat whatever he wants.
Seeing the shepherd's purse on the stove, Xiao Er suddenly thought of the shepherd's purse pork stuffed dumplings, and then shook her head violently, the dumplings were too ostentatious and troublesome.He had to continue making plows after eating, and he had to finish the plow before his sister-in-law came back. Otherwise, he couldn't tell her why the plows he made were different from other people's plows.
Seeing that the meat that Butcher Gao took was pork belly, Xiaoer thought about it, and made braised pork belly with bamboo shoots.
However, Xiao Er didn't have any pancakes this time, so he reconciled the noodles, rolled the noodles half a finger thick, cut them into palm-sized pieces, and started frying the meat.
Pour the bamboo shoots and water into the meat one by one, stir-fry a few times, and stick the cake on the pan. In the end, there is no place to stick the cake. Xiao Er directly puts the cake on the bamboo shoots and meat.
Butcher Gao saw that Xiao Er's cooking was different from Fang Zheng's, so he stretched his neck to look into the pot, and there was only a circle of dough cakes on the pot, "What are you doing?"
"Pot cake, have you eaten it?" Xiaoer asked.
"I've never eaten it!" He had never seen vegetables and cakes "stewed" together.
Xiaoer said, "Don't overheat the fire under the pot. When the water in the meat dries up, the cake on top of the vegetables will be ready."
Butcher Gao smelled the aroma constantly overflowing from the pot, and looked at Xiao Er's eyes, "Didn't you say you can't cook?"
While washing the face sticking to the hand wash, Xiao Er said, "I don't know how to do it."
"Then what's in this pot?" Actually, Butcher Gao wanted to ask Xiao Er most, what was that yellow grass-like thing he threw into the pot just now.
"It's cooking meat and vegetables together, isn't that how your family does it?" Xiao Er asked pretendingly puzzled.
"No." Butcher Gao said simply, "My food is not as delicious as yours."
Xiao Er's eyes darkened, why is this person so real.Afraid he would ask further questions, I said, "I fry the surface of the meat until it turns yellow before pouring in the water. If the water and the meat are boiled together, it won't be so fragrant."
When he came here, Xiaoer realized that the hot dishes in the mouth of the sister-in-law are to spread some oil on the boiled vegetables, and the stewed meat is the legendary "boiled meat". Although Xiaoer has never eaten it, he would rather eat it in his life. There is no such opportunity.
When Xiaoer asked Butcher Gao how he was cooking at home, there was a gurgling sound in the pot, and Xiaoer lifted the lid of the pot to take a look, "If the fire is turned down, we can eat later."
Then they moved the square tables in the yard to the kitchen room, which was so spacious that the family no longer needed to eat in the yard.He took two straw mats and put them on the ground, Xiao Er, who had been in Wang's house for a long time, also knew that the chairs and stools had not appeared at this time.
Xiao Er put the dead dough cakes into the steamed bun basket and put out the vegetables. Seeing Butcher Gao wash his hands automatically, Xiao Er nodded in satisfaction.
When he first came, he saw his sister-in-law mixed the pig food and went to get the cakes. Xiaoer didn't say that sister-in-law should be clean. When the dust on her hands got on the cakes, Xiaoer said with a distressed face, A good big cake was blackened by the sister-in-law.
Wang Hanshi wanted to say that she would save the blackened pancakes for her to eat, but when she saw that her brother-in-law's eyes were about to hurt and bleed, she didn't say anything, and went straight to scoop up water and wash her hands.
Xiao Er felt distressed several times in a row, and now even Xiao Niuniu knows to wash her hands before eating.
Xiao Er handed Butcher Gao the pancakes that had been placed on top of the vegetables, then pointed to the vegetables and said, "You can say whatever you want, if it doesn't taste good, don't blame me."
"It smells delicious to me." Butcher Gao grinned, seeing that the pancake in his hand was thin and translucent, and still soft when holding it, he took a big bite without thinking, and then his eyes widened.
"Hey, don't worry, there are still a lot of cakes here." Xiao Er saw that the other party had bitten off a third, thought he was choking, and went to find a bowl, "Wait a minute, I'll give it to you right away." You pour water.
When Butcher Gao saw Xiao Er turning around in a hurry, he chewed the cake and swallowed it, "No, I'm fine!"
"Huh?" Xiao Er paused, turned around and saw Venus staring in Butcher Gao's eyes, for some reason, his back turned cold, "Then you, what happened to you just now?"
"Your cake is delicious! It's delicious!" It's not crunchy at all, it's soft, fragrant and chewy.Then he took another big bite, as if telling Xiao Er that he liked it very much.
Xiao Er felt dumbfounded, "Don't just eat cakes, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"
When Butcher Gao saw that Xiao Er was so enthusiastic, he lost the politeness of visiting for the first time.
When Xiao Er hadn't finished eating one of the cakes, butcher Gao had already killed three, and he might kill another six, Xiao Er really cried.
"Is it delicious?" If it's not delicious, eat less.
"Delicious!" Butcher Gao took a bite of the pie with his chopsticks, and his mouth slammed loudly, "You still said you can't cook, if you say you can't, those two in my family cook pig food!" He burped as he spoke, and seeing Xiao Er looking at him, Butcher Gao laughed a few times in embarrassment, "Well, you still eat too much of the rice you cooked."
It's because you ancients haven't learned how to use natural materials and earth treasures. When you learn how to cook the "Ten Forbidden Dishes", his home-cooked dishes will be nothing.Thinking that he is also an ancient person, Xiao Er shook his head, "You are finally full. If you are not full, I have nothing to eat for you."
"Why?" While speaking, Butcher Gao subconsciously looked at the steamed bun basket, and when he saw that it was clean, he asked belatedly, "Me, what did I eat?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Er glared at him, "I've never seen someone who can eat like you." After saying that, he put away the dishes and chopsticks and washed the pots and dishes.
Butcher Gao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he really ate it, "Well, Xiaoer, you, are you full?"
"Watching you eat makes me full."
"I'm so sorry." Butcher Gao's old face blushed, and when he saw that Xiao Er was brushing the pot with his head down, he ignored him, and when he saw the patch on Xiao Er's clothes, he said, "Tomorrow, I'll bring you a bag of noodles." .”
"Don't! If you leave my house to eat tomorrow, my firewood will be gone."
"Why?"
"Why not! You can eat like that, how much more food will be cooked in my family, and how much more firewood will be burned!" Xiao Er glared at him, and went out with water for washing the pot.
☆, general, you walk slowly
Butcher Gao hurriedly followed Xiao Er out, and saw that Xiao Er had mixed the pig food, so he went to help Xiao Er feed the pigs like a dog.Seeing Xiao Er go to get the shovel, he hurriedly snatched it off again, "Go do something else, I'll clean the pigsty for you."
Xiao Er looked at him helplessly, "By the way, feed the chickens and ducks too." After speaking, he went to the grain room and continued to work on his plow.
Butcher Gao cleaned up the inside and outside of Wang's pigsty, and then happily went to find Xiao Er.
As soon as Xiaoer saw him, he remembered that the other party had eaten a basket of ten or so pancakes that he had made. His heart ached, and he said in a bad tone, "Come here!"
"What are you doing?" Butcher Gao obediently walked up to Xiao Er.
"Take the plow to the backyard." Xiao Er stood up and went to find the rope.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Butcher Gao standing still, "Why don't you go?"
"Xiao Er, you said this is a plow for farming?" Butcher Gao asked suspiciously, pointing to the crooked thing at his feet.
Xiaoer knew why he was asking this question. Zhiyuanli was very different from Quyuanli, and his Quyuanli had been remodeled.Xiaoer is still not sure whether the plow he installed by hand can be used, and adding the "basket of cakes", "If you tell you to go, go, what a waste of time!"
"Why don't I just ask?" Butcher Gao whispered.Seeing Xiao Er staring, he picked up the plow on the ground and ran away.
Seeing him moving so fast, Xiao Er smacked his tongue and said, "If you want to be strong, you have to eat a lot." Looking at his thin arms and legs, he comforted himself, don't be in a hurry, he is still young, he is only an adult, and he still has a chance to rise Space.
He took the rope and went to the backyard to see Butcher Gao staring at his plow stupidly, Xiao Er tied the rope to the plow without saying anything, "Help the plow up, let's see if the plow works."
When Butcher Gao saw that Xiaoer was holding the rope to pull the plow, he hurriedly said, "You help the plow, and I will pull it!"
"You are a customer, how can I let you pull me." It is true that Xiaoer who has no money is a bit stingy, but his soul has been educated for 20 years, which is also true, and he dare not let customers help him like an animal Pull the plow.
"You're not welcome, I'll be angry if you share with me again." As he spoke, Butcher Gao pretended to be angry and glanced at Xiao Er.
Xiaoer wants to say, I don't know you very well.Seeing him coming up, he grabbed the rope, "Okay, you pull, and I will hold the plow."
Xiao Er held the plow and walked about ten meters, then shouted, "Butcher Gao, stop."
"What's wrong?" Butcher Gao turned around, looked at the dirt turned up behind him, and asked in surprise, "This weird thing really works?"
"Of course, this is my plow." Xiaoer proudly threw the plow on the ground, squatted down to check the turned up soil, picked up a large piece of soil and smashed it with his hands, "Butcher Gao, you Let's see how the plow is doing."
Butcher Gao took a look, "The plow is really deep!"
"The plow shovel you saw yesterday is called a plow shovel. This plow shovel can break up the upturned mud. Didn't you notice it?" Xiaoer smiled when he saw that the plow was ready for use.
If Butcher Gao hadn’t listened to Xiao Er’s words, he wouldn’t have paid attention, “When will your family plow the land, I’ll help you!”
"Ah?" Xiaoer was dumbfounded. Seeing Butcher Gao staring at the plow on the ground with a strange expression, he raised his forehead and said, "My land is finished."
"What?" Butcher Gao didn't hear clearly, so he asked, "Your land has been cleared? Then what kind of plow do you make?"
"Sell it to the magistrate!" Xiaoer blurted out.As soon as the words came out, Xiao Er raised his hand and scratched himself.
"Why hit yourself?" Butcher Gao stared, "You are stupid!"
Isn't he stupid, or else he told the truth to a stranger.
When Butcher Gao saw that Xiao Er's expression was wrong, he thought about Xiao Er's words again, "Well, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll go to your pork stall and tell you that you sell sick pork!" Xiaoer raised his eyelids and said, seemingly true.
"I won't mess
Hearing the words of the two subordinates, Butcher Gao choked, and said instead, "Rong and Di are still alive, I feel uneasy!"
The "Rong Di" he was talking about was a nomadic people who were active in the northwest of the Jinyu Dynasty. They often harassed the people on the border, burning, killing, and looting.
In the early years, the imperial court conscripted troops because the emperor wanted to start a war with the Rongdi people to completely eliminate the cholera on the border.
"The Rongdi people have signed a non-aggression treaty with Jinyu, so I don't know why you are uneasy." Ren Yuan said.
"The Rongdi family has no credibility and is capricious. Do you really think they are in peace?" Gao Butcher's face turned cold, "They were frightened by our gold and jade soldiers, and when they come to their senses, they will go around everywhere." Make a mess!"
"When they come to their senses, they still don't know about the year of the monkey." Ren Yuan didn't allow the general to argue any longer, "If you want me to say, we'll go buy land tomorrow, just in time for the spring planting."
"No, the general is going to Wang's Village tomorrow." Fang Zheng said.
"I told you I'm not going, so shut up!" Butcher Gao couldn't speak to his two subordinates, so he could only pretend to be serious with a sullen face.
"Don't. General, don't you want to know how that arrow-like thing is used?" Ren Yuan asked seductively.
"Hey, let me say Ren Yuan, didn't you still dislike Wang Xiaoer before, why did your face change so quickly?" Butcher Gao asked with his head tilted.
"I... When did I dislike Wang Xiaoer, don't think you can talk nonsense just because you are a general," Ren Yuan said.
"Wang Xiaoer touches our pork and you say why he turned it over, and laughed that he can only buy a catty of pork, Ren Yuan, when did your eyes grow to the top of your head, why don't I know?" Gao asked the butcher.
"Then...I...I thought that Wang Xiaoer didn't want to buy pork, but he didn't know that his family was too poor to buy it. Besides, I was scared by the people of Gao Laozhuang when I said that!" Ren Yuan stuck his neck He said that he refused to admit the general's "slander".
"Anyway, I'm not going." Butcher Gao turned around and walked into the courtyard.
"General, if you don't go, Ren Yuanminger and I will stop selling pork." Fang Zheng said he was even more bachelor than him.
"You guys!" Butcher Gao stopped in his tracks, turned his head and glared at the two of them fiercely, "You have the guts!"
"General, we don't have any. We are still waiting for you to find a general's wife to give us a baby." Ren Yuan saw that General was speechless when he and Fang Zheng squeezed him out, and laughed.
Speaking of the wife, Butcher Gao's face changed slightly, "There will be no girl who is willing to marry me."
Fangzheng and Ren Yuan glanced at each other, and they walked up to Butcher Gao awkwardly, and said eagerly, "General, if you don't have one here, let's go to the capital to look for it! You are General Pingdi personally appointed by the emperor. If you want to go back to Guanjiang Town, how can the emperor let you back?"
"Ren Yuan, you're wrong. If the emperor let the general come back, why did he still ask the general to hold the military talisman? The emperor just asked the general to come home to rest, and even perform his filial piety by the old man's side." Fangzheng said after a while, "General, you Grandpa and grandma have also gone, if you don’t go out to get some fresh air, let’s go to Kyoto early. When we arrive in Kyoto, we will visit the Marshal’s wife and let the old lady help you to see the girl.”
"I don't want to marry an official lady. It's so annoying to look at each other awkwardly!" Butcher Gao frowned. General, they know shit!"
Fangzheng and Ren Yuan's faces turned black from his left and right words, "Why didn't you reason with your aunt when she ruined your reputation, you will mess with us!"
"That shrew, I have nothing to say to her!" Butcher Gao snorted coldly.
"Yes, you are an adult and have a lot of money, so you don't care about women. But we have all been in town for more than a month, and you don't even have a friend, so what do you say?" Fang Zheng asked.
"It's not that shrew's broken mouth talking nonsense."
"You know that everyone fears you like a tiger. Even the magistrate dare not come to you when he comes to see you. Now that Wang Xiaoer invites you to his house, what are you talking about!" Ren Yuan continued.
"You still dare to mention the magistrate to me. If you hadn't gone to the county government to look for me, would the magistrate know that I'm back?"
"Who told you to run away on horseback without waiting for us to arrange things in the general's mansion? If we couldn't find you, would we go to the county magistrate and ask him to find out where your hometown is?" Fang Zheng asked back, " Who is to blame for this?"
"I can't say no to you!" Butcher Gao simply shut up.
"If you can't tell us, then you can go to Wang's Village tomorrow. It's fine to live in Wang's Village at night. We're here," Fangzheng said.
"This is my home!" Butcher Gao reminded.
"This is the house I bought with Ren Yuan, and my name is also on the deed," Fang Zheng said.
"You guys, you're going against it!" Butcher Gao was about to lift his legs angrily, and lowered his pair of eyes that were upright, "Why don't I go?"
Ren Yuan sighed, "General, don't think Fangzheng and I are meddling in my business, just say that in this month, you have talked to pigs except talking to us, and when the emperor asks you when you return to the capital, you will only Aww, if the emperor doesn't kill us, the marshal will push us out and kill us."
"You're the only one who can only scream!" Are you speaking human words?
"General, Ren Yuan can't talk, so don't bother with him. We just want you to make more friends, go around and have fun, and don't stay at home all day long." Fangzheng didn't say anything else until the general got to know him. There are more people here, and if someone knows about the general, the general's wife will not be far away.
"Then what do I do if I leave?" Butcher Gao ran around every day when he was fighting at the border, and suddenly he was put in a yard for a month. In fact, he had had enough.
"When Ren Yuan and I didn't find you, we weren't hungry." Fangzheng said and saw him stare, "Okay, I don't mention this, Ren Yuan and I can go to the countryside to collect pigs, and we can slaughter pigs, otherwise Shall we try it on you now?"
"No, butcher the pig now, and the pork won't be fresh until tomorrow. By the way, I'll get up early tomorrow and kill the pig before going to Wangjiacun." Butcher Gao clapped his hands, "That's it!"
Little Er didn't know that his momentary remark was about to invite Butcher Gao, so he pushed open the door and saw that the beams had been installed, so he said, "Grandpa, have you cooked yet?"
"Waiting for your meat." Old man Duan said.
"Hey, grandpa, don't worry, I'm buying meat." Xiaoer went to the backyard as he said that, and was about to take out the pork when his sister-in-law called him, "What's wrong?" Xiaoer asked.
"Xiao Er, look who this is?" Wang Hanshi said with a smile on his face.
Xiao Er followed her fingers to see an old woman wearing a headscarf, "I don't know her."
"This is the most famous matchmaker in our ten miles and eight towns." Wang Hanshi said while leading the matchmaker to drink tea in the room.
The matchmaker repeatedly waved her hands to say you're welcome, took a look at the Wang family's kitchen, smashed her mouth at the neat adobe bricks, and then looked at Xiao Er as if she was buying goods, "Second boy of the Wang family, I'm so happy!" Pat yourself on the thigh.
Xiao Er was startled when she saw her action, thinking that she was possessed by Wang Zhaoshi.
☆, the matchmaker ran away
Xiao Er stroked the numb scalp stared at by the matchmaker, and asked suspiciously, "Ma'am, what is the happy event?"
"Second boy of the Wang family, I heard about your conditions for getting married. Let me tell you, I have a girl here who eats less but works a lot. She has a big butt and can bear children. Do you like it?" The matchmaker spoke quickly. said.
"Ah?" Xiaoer was dumbfounded, what is the situation, "How do you know the conditions for my kiss?"
As soon as Xiaoer finished speaking, Zheng Feng pushed the door open and came in, "Xiaoer, I told the matchmaker, you don't blame Auntie, do you?"
"How can it be?" Xiaoer said with a smile.
The aunt of the Zheng family clearly told the sister-in-law that she would not help him make love, so why did she find a matchmaker again.
Because Zheng Daniu told his mother-in-law that Xiaoer had told him about the adobe when he came back to his home at noon yesterday. I feel a little bit in the mood.
When she went to the field to look for wild vegetables in the afternoon, she happened to meet the matchmaker who had been helping her girl get married. They both knew each other, so they stopped to say a few words, and Zheng Feng talked about Xiao Er's matter.
This matchmaker relies on talking about her relatives to eat, and there is no one in the ten miles and eight villages that she doesn't know.
When I got home and thought about it carefully, I really remembered a girl with a face like black charcoal, big arms and round waist, bald head and bandy legs, who was still unmarried, and then, and then became like this.
"Auntie, you see that my family doesn't even have a house, so come and say hello to me, where will I let the girl live later?" Xiao Er said with a troubled expression.
Hearing Xiao Er's words, the two brothers of the Duan family were about to speak, but Old Man Duan glanced across at them, and Wang Zhaoshi wanted to speak when he saw Xiao Er's eyelids blink.
Then let the matchmaker say, "Hey, I said the second boy of the Wang family. I asked about it when I came here. You are a good hand at living. Look at how well the stove is built in your house. How can there be less?" house."
"If my family had a better life, my elder brother would not go to other places to work. He is still poor." This is very true. If it is not poor, he will go to the town to buy a few catties of meat without his sister-in-law reminding him. Come back and let grandpa and uncle have a big meal.
If it weren't for being poor, he would go to the pork stall and carry a pig home, why bother to attract people's disgust for selling pork.
When the matchmaker heard this, she patted her thigh again, "Boy Wang, let me tell you the truth, if you are willing to get married, this girl doesn't want a bride price!"
How can there be such a good thing, Xiaoer was suspicious, but pretended to be surprised on the face, "Really?"
"Really!" The matchmaker slapped her hands on her thighs, "Is it done?"
"Is that girl neither fat nor thin, tall nor short, neither black nor white, handsome nor ugly?" Xiaoer asked anxiously.
"What?" The matchmaker was dumbfounded when she heard this, and walked around Xiao Er twice like watching a monster, unable to believe what she heard, "Do you think you are a fairy?"
"What does this have to do with Tianxian? Look at my sister-in-law, look at my aunt, aren't they both fat and thin?" Xiao Er said, staring at her eyes, "Aunt matchmaker, you, the girl you're talking about can't Is it a person with crooked mouth and eyes, walking straight and kicking his legs?"
Wang Hanshi was also surprised that there was no good thing in the world, and when she heard Xiaoer's words, she hurriedly said, "Auntie, yes, if this is the case, her family doesn't want a bride price, and neither does ours!"
The old man Duan is old and has experienced the most things. He knows that matchmakers like to exaggerate when they tell people about matchmaking, "I said you woman, how can you do this? No matter how poor our family is, we can't marry a girl with problems... ..."
"Who said there was something wrong! Who said there was something wrong! I think the problem is your family!" He pointed at Xiao Er, "Just like you, your legs are as thin as a bamboo pole, your hands are not as big as chicken feet, and your face is thin Like a ghost, what kind of person do you want to marry if you have no father or mother! Pooh! Your family is just using stingy money as ingots! Let me tell you, just like you, don’t even think about marrying a daughter-in-law for the rest of your life!"
"Get out, get out, get out! It's not uncommon for you to be a matchmaker in our family!" Hearing this, Duan Dazhi, who was sweeping the floor in the kitchen, took a broom and yelled at the matchmaker, "Get out! How dare you curse Xiao Er, you old godmother! Roll as far as you can, don't let me see you in the future!"
As soon as Xiao Er saw that people from all directions were looking towards her house, she hurriedly dragged her second uncle in, "Why are you yelling at her? How can you listen to what she said?" Seeing Zheng Feng standing aside in embarrassment, "Auntie , look, it's the matchmaker who caused the trouble, alas!"
"Xiao Er, it's also my aunt's fault, I came to you without asking her clearly, tell me..."
"Auntie, don't talk about it, I know you are in a hurry for our little brother." Wang Hanshi took her arm, "I saw this matchmaker once when your girl made an order last time. Hit her twice with the broom, what about your girl?"
"It's okay, the date of my daughter's marriage has been fixed, it's okay!" Zheng Fengshi was also embarrassed to stay any longer, "My family is still cooking, it's time to go back."
"Then I'll see you off." Wang Hanshi kept sending Zheng Fengshi to the door of Zheng's house before returning. Seeing no one in the yard when he got home, he sighed and walked towards the backyard.
As soon as I walked to the backyard, I heard my grandfather's roar, "Wang Xiaoer, you are rich! I asked you to weigh some pork, not to let you buy a big piece!" Then he took off his shoes.
The two brothers of the Duan family did not miss the soles of his father's shoes. Duan Dazhi grabbed his father's arm, and Duan Dayong snatched the shoe from his father's hand, "Father, don't you know the virtues of Xiao Er? You can also let the child say something." talk!"
"Say it!" Old man Duan pointed at Xiao Er with trembling fingers angrily, "Say it, I'll beat you again after I finish talking!"
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Er put the fat into the pot, and poured two scoops of water into it, "I just bought a catty of pork, these are all given to me by Butcher Gao!"
"Fuck your mother! I bought two catties of pork from your grandfather and the butcher gave me two taels. Your face is longer than your grandfather's, so what?" Old man Duan didn't believe it!
"If you don't believe me, ask Butcher Gao tomorrow!"
"Why should I ask, people know who I am!" Old man Duan panted heavily, staring at Xiao Er with fiery eyes.
"Of course Butcher Gao doesn't know what you do, but Butcher Gao knows me." As he spoke, Xiao Er added two handfuls of firewood to the bottom of the pot. dust.
"What? Butcher Gao knows you? How did you know?"
"Xiao Er, have you talked to Butcher Gao?" Wang Han asked hurriedly.
"I asked him if the fat was for sale, and he gave it to me." As he said, Xiaoer looked at his grandfather, "I don't know why he treats me so well, maybe he just thinks that I His face is so long!"
"Nonsense again!" When the old man heard that his grandson asked him to ask Butcher Gao, he already believed in his heart that Xiao Er only bought a catty of pork. When he saw a piece of meat on the chopping board, "Xiao Er, I should make it for your grandfather today. Have you eaten the meat?"
"That's it!" Xiao Er grinned, "Go ahead and do your work, I'll call you when I'm ready!"
With so much pork in the house, the old man Duan was not afraid that Xiao Er would be stingy and give him oily residue, so he said, "Da Zhi, Da Yong, let's go and fix the roof of the stove, and build the stove in the afternoon."
The two brothers of the Duan family nodded and followed the old man out. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, Wang Hanshi simply left too.
Xiao Er was the only one left in the backyard. When Xiao Er boiled the oil, he grabbed a handful of dried bamboo shoots and soaked them in it. shepherd's purse.
After the two dishes are out of the pan, Xiao Er will pancake.
The old man Duan smelled the scent that kept coming out of the backyard, and said to his son, "Go and see what delicious food Xiao Er cooks?"
"Father, I want to go to you!" Duan Dazhi glanced at his father, "You underestimate your grandson too much, if you don't cook so much pork for you, what kind of person is Xiao Er?"
"Stingy ghost." Xiao Er received it with a smile, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, let's eat."
"Look." Duan Dazhi muttered, "Did you see it?"
"Let's talk again! Tell me more, believe it or not, I'll beat you!" The old man Duan looked at a large bowl of pork, bamboo shoots, and oil residue in wild vegetables in the middle of the square table, "Xiao Er, how did you cook this dish? It smells It's so fragrant."
"It's the same as when we made bamboo sprouts earlier, grandpa, this pork is delicious." As he spoke, Xiaoer picked a large piece of pork belly for his grandpa.
"I don't need you!" The old man Duan glared at him, "You give me a good meal, eat fat, I don't see any woman dare to say that you are skinny like a ghost!"
"Grandpa, I'm not thin, but strong!" He stretched out his arms, "If you don't believe me, touch it, the flesh is hard!"
"It's as hard as it is, eat it well!" The old man Duan said that he only picked bamboo shoots to eat, and finally saw that Xiao Er finished eating two big cakes, and his complexion improved a little.
Xiaoer rubbed her swollen stomach and said to Wang Hanshi, "Sister-in-law, there are two catties of meat left, you cut it in half, and give it to the second uncle and third uncle later."
"Okay!" Wang Hanshi nodded, "Xiaoer, this is how we should do things in the future, we can't be stingy anymore."
"I don't have it." Xiaoer rubbed his nose awkwardly, "You can send the other half to my uncle."
"What?" Wang Han didn't hear clearly.
"The last time Uncle Han and my mother came to our house, they carried a lot of rice. When you go, take a catty of meat. The two sisters-in-law will not say anything nasty." Xiaoer said.
When Wang Hanshi thought of the two uneasy sister-in-laws of her natal family, she felt sore, "Xiaoer, sister-in-law has made a note."
Xiao Er didn't ask her what she had written down, and when she heard that her little niece wanted to rub her, Xiao Er knew that the little girl had eaten too much.
Brushing his niece's withered and yellow hair, Xiao Er vaguely heard his grandfather telling his two uncles in the front yard that he would go with them in the evening, so he said, "Sister-in-law, you can go tomorrow, don't let the meat taste bad." gone."
Wang Hanshi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, lowered his head and let out a "huh".Xiao Er saw his little niece looking at him in a daze, as if asking what happened to her mother.
Xiao Er pretended not to see anything, and carried her niece out of the backyard.He secretly vowed in his heart that as soon as sister-in-law Ming'er left and there was no one else in the house, he would start making plows, and then go to the county magistrate to exchange rewards. In exchange for the rewards, he would go buy cattle. He must live a prosperous life!
☆, foodie high butcher
While Xiao Er was knocking in the grain room, Ren Yuan and Fang Zheng were chasing the butcher at the pork stall in Guanjiang Town.
"General, it's almost noon, why don't you go to Wang's Village?" Fang Zheng asked.
"What did I say when I got there?" Butcher Gao really couldn't do anything with his two subordinates.
"When Wang Xiaoer left, he told you to go to his house to look at the plow. The reason is ready." Ren Yuan said, cut a piece of pork and put it in the bamboo basket, and then handed the bamboo basket to Butcher Gao, "Okay, hurry up." Go, if it's later, it's time for dinner."
"Are you really going?" Butcher Gao asked uncertainly.
"Go!" Fangzheng pointed at the person who was walking this way, "If you don't go, Ren Yuan and I will put away the pork stall, and we won't set up a stall to sell meat from now on!" If you put on a gesture, you will close the stall.
When Butcher Gao saw him like this, he hurriedly said, "I'll go right away, can't I go?"
"By the way, general, it's fun, don't come back too early, our house won't cook dinner early!" Fang Zheng was afraid that he would come back after meeting Wang Xiaoer when he arrived at Wang's house, so he hurriedly added.
Perhaps Fangzheng had caught Butcher Gao's mind, he staggered, and then hurried away with hands and feet.
Neither of them could see Butcher Gao anymore, Ren Yuan was still a little worried, "Do you think the members of the Wang family will drive the general out when they turn around?"
"Don't worry, I've already asked someone about it, and Wang Xiaoer's family is pretty good." Fangzheng said with great presence.
"What? When did you inquire?"
"I went out yesterday afternoon." Then he lay down in front of Ren Yuan's ear, and murmured what he had inquired about, "Don't look down on Wang Xiaoer from now on, it's really not easy for him."
"I didn't expect that there are people in this world whose family affairs are worse than the general's." Ren Yuan shuddered when he thought of the grandparents of the Wang family that Fangzheng was talking about, "When Wang Xiaoer comes to buy pork tomorrow, I will definitely cut more pork for him." A catty."
"Forget it, you can come to buy pork every day as a commoner."
"That's right, who would be willing to buy meat when it's not a festival?" Ren Yuan muttered, and began to greet people who came to buy meat.
The two sold out the pork they killed today, and Butcher Gao also walked to Xiaoer's house.
Butcher Gao dawdled in front of Xiaoer's house for a while, and the more he dawdled, the more he felt that his two subordinates were messing around.What Wang Xiaoer said yesterday was obviously a polite word, but they took it seriously.
Holding the bamboo basket, Butcher Gao thought about it, how about he throw the pork in the bamboo basket into the courtyard of the Wang family, and then go back to town?When Ren Yuan and Fang Zheng see that the pork is gone, they should think that he has seen Wang Xiaoer.
Butcher Gao thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea.
As soon as the heart moved, Butcher Gao took out the meat, and when he raised his hand, there was a problem.
The ground is full of dirt, so if the meat is thrown out, it will be inedible.
"Hey, why are you here?" Just as Butcher Gao turned to look for something to wrap meat, the door of Wang's house opened suddenly, and Xiao Eryi was shocked when he saw Butcher Gao.
As soon as Butcher Gao heard the familiar voice, his scalp went numb, he turned around slowly, and said, "I, um, I want to see if your thing is safe yesterday?"
"Not yet. If you want to see it, just come here directly, why don't you get meat." Said Xiaoer sideways and let him in, "Go and sit in the yard for a while, I'll get some firewood to start the fire, and I'll be back in a while!"
"Hey, that, I'll go with you." Butcher Gao hurriedly followed Xiaoer.
"No, it's right here." The little second-hand pointed out that it was the straw stack of the Wang family, just a few steps away from the gate.Otherwise, Xiao Er wouldn't worry about keeping a man he had only met once in his home.
When Butcher Gao saw this, he backed away and turned around to look at the Wang family's house. It was nothing compared to Gao Laozhuang's father's house, but the yard was cleaner than his father's house, which showed that the Wang family was very hardworking.
Turning his face to see the stove room beside him, Butcher Gao wondered, this room looks a bit strange.
Butcher Gao didn't know Xiao Er well, so he didn't dare to ask him about the kitchen. Seeing Xiao Er walking in with straw in his arms, he quickly helped Xiao Er close the door, "Is there anyone else in your family?"
"My parents have gone." After a pause, "Big brother and younger brother are working outside, and sister-in-law is back at her mother's house." Xiao Er put down the straw to wash his hands, and took the meat from Butcher Gao, "Have you eaten yet?"
Butcher Gao shook his head. He didn't eat An Sheng for breakfast, and he was full of listening to Ren Yuan and Fang Zheng.
"Then what do you want to eat?" The visitor was a guest, and this guest also brought a piece of pork. Xiaoer didn't mind entertaining Butcher Gao with his stuff.
"Anything is fine." Butcher Gao saw that Xiaoer had lifted the lid of the pot, so he sat down in front of the pot and waited for the fire to start.
Xiao Er saw his movements, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said intentionally, "I'm not very good at cooking, are you sure you can eat anything?"
"As long as it's cooked food, you can do whatever you want!" In order to capture the generals of the Rongdi tribe when he was fighting earlier, he didn't eat a bite of food for two days, so he lived well.
Xiaoer only thinks that he is easy to talk to, but he can't eat whatever he wants.
Seeing the shepherd's purse on the stove, Xiao Er suddenly thought of the shepherd's purse pork stuffed dumplings, and then shook her head violently, the dumplings were too ostentatious and troublesome.He had to continue making plows after eating, and he had to finish the plow before his sister-in-law came back. Otherwise, he couldn't tell her why the plows he made were different from other people's plows.
Seeing that the meat that Butcher Gao took was pork belly, Xiaoer thought about it, and made braised pork belly with bamboo shoots.
However, Xiao Er didn't have any pancakes this time, so he reconciled the noodles, rolled the noodles half a finger thick, cut them into palm-sized pieces, and started frying the meat.
Pour the bamboo shoots and water into the meat one by one, stir-fry a few times, and stick the cake on the pan. In the end, there is no place to stick the cake. Xiao Er directly puts the cake on the bamboo shoots and meat.
Butcher Gao saw that Xiao Er's cooking was different from Fang Zheng's, so he stretched his neck to look into the pot, and there was only a circle of dough cakes on the pot, "What are you doing?"
"Pot cake, have you eaten it?" Xiaoer asked.
"I've never eaten it!" He had never seen vegetables and cakes "stewed" together.
Xiaoer said, "Don't overheat the fire under the pot. When the water in the meat dries up, the cake on top of the vegetables will be ready."
Butcher Gao smelled the aroma constantly overflowing from the pot, and looked at Xiao Er's eyes, "Didn't you say you can't cook?"
While washing the face sticking to the hand wash, Xiao Er said, "I don't know how to do it."
"Then what's in this pot?" Actually, Butcher Gao wanted to ask Xiao Er most, what was that yellow grass-like thing he threw into the pot just now.
"It's cooking meat and vegetables together, isn't that how your family does it?" Xiao Er asked pretendingly puzzled.
"No." Butcher Gao said simply, "My food is not as delicious as yours."
Xiao Er's eyes darkened, why is this person so real.Afraid he would ask further questions, I said, "I fry the surface of the meat until it turns yellow before pouring in the water. If the water and the meat are boiled together, it won't be so fragrant."
When he came here, Xiaoer realized that the hot dishes in the mouth of the sister-in-law are to spread some oil on the boiled vegetables, and the stewed meat is the legendary "boiled meat". Although Xiaoer has never eaten it, he would rather eat it in his life. There is no such opportunity.
When Xiaoer asked Butcher Gao how he was cooking at home, there was a gurgling sound in the pot, and Xiaoer lifted the lid of the pot to take a look, "If the fire is turned down, we can eat later."
Then they moved the square tables in the yard to the kitchen room, which was so spacious that the family no longer needed to eat in the yard.He took two straw mats and put them on the ground, Xiao Er, who had been in Wang's house for a long time, also knew that the chairs and stools had not appeared at this time.
Xiao Er put the dead dough cakes into the steamed bun basket and put out the vegetables. Seeing Butcher Gao wash his hands automatically, Xiao Er nodded in satisfaction.
When he first came, he saw his sister-in-law mixed the pig food and went to get the cakes. Xiaoer didn't say that sister-in-law should be clean. When the dust on her hands got on the cakes, Xiaoer said with a distressed face, A good big cake was blackened by the sister-in-law.
Wang Hanshi wanted to say that she would save the blackened pancakes for her to eat, but when she saw that her brother-in-law's eyes were about to hurt and bleed, she didn't say anything, and went straight to scoop up water and wash her hands.
Xiao Er felt distressed several times in a row, and now even Xiao Niuniu knows to wash her hands before eating.
Xiao Er handed Butcher Gao the pancakes that had been placed on top of the vegetables, then pointed to the vegetables and said, "You can say whatever you want, if it doesn't taste good, don't blame me."
"It smells delicious to me." Butcher Gao grinned, seeing that the pancake in his hand was thin and translucent, and still soft when holding it, he took a big bite without thinking, and then his eyes widened.
"Hey, don't worry, there are still a lot of cakes here." Xiao Er saw that the other party had bitten off a third, thought he was choking, and went to find a bowl, "Wait a minute, I'll give it to you right away." You pour water.
When Butcher Gao saw Xiao Er turning around in a hurry, he chewed the cake and swallowed it, "No, I'm fine!"
"Huh?" Xiao Er paused, turned around and saw Venus staring in Butcher Gao's eyes, for some reason, his back turned cold, "Then you, what happened to you just now?"
"Your cake is delicious! It's delicious!" It's not crunchy at all, it's soft, fragrant and chewy.Then he took another big bite, as if telling Xiao Er that he liked it very much.
Xiao Er felt dumbfounded, "Don't just eat cakes, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"
When Butcher Gao saw that Xiao Er was so enthusiastic, he lost the politeness of visiting for the first time.
When Xiao Er hadn't finished eating one of the cakes, butcher Gao had already killed three, and he might kill another six, Xiao Er really cried.
"Is it delicious?" If it's not delicious, eat less.
"Delicious!" Butcher Gao took a bite of the pie with his chopsticks, and his mouth slammed loudly, "You still said you can't cook, if you say you can't, those two in my family cook pig food!" He burped as he spoke, and seeing Xiao Er looking at him, Butcher Gao laughed a few times in embarrassment, "Well, you still eat too much of the rice you cooked."
It's because you ancients haven't learned how to use natural materials and earth treasures. When you learn how to cook the "Ten Forbidden Dishes", his home-cooked dishes will be nothing.Thinking that he is also an ancient person, Xiao Er shook his head, "You are finally full. If you are not full, I have nothing to eat for you."
"Why?" While speaking, Butcher Gao subconsciously looked at the steamed bun basket, and when he saw that it was clean, he asked belatedly, "Me, what did I eat?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Er glared at him, "I've never seen someone who can eat like you." After saying that, he put away the dishes and chopsticks and washed the pots and dishes.
Butcher Gao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he really ate it, "Well, Xiaoer, you, are you full?"
"Watching you eat makes me full."
"I'm so sorry." Butcher Gao's old face blushed, and when he saw that Xiao Er was brushing the pot with his head down, he ignored him, and when he saw the patch on Xiao Er's clothes, he said, "Tomorrow, I'll bring you a bag of noodles." .”
"Don't! If you leave my house to eat tomorrow, my firewood will be gone."
"Why?"
"Why not! You can eat like that, how much more food will be cooked in my family, and how much more firewood will be burned!" Xiao Er glared at him, and went out with water for washing the pot.
☆, general, you walk slowly
Butcher Gao hurriedly followed Xiao Er out, and saw that Xiao Er had mixed the pig food, so he went to help Xiao Er feed the pigs like a dog.Seeing Xiao Er go to get the shovel, he hurriedly snatched it off again, "Go do something else, I'll clean the pigsty for you."
Xiao Er looked at him helplessly, "By the way, feed the chickens and ducks too." After speaking, he went to the grain room and continued to work on his plow.
Butcher Gao cleaned up the inside and outside of Wang's pigsty, and then happily went to find Xiao Er.
As soon as Xiaoer saw him, he remembered that the other party had eaten a basket of ten or so pancakes that he had made. His heart ached, and he said in a bad tone, "Come here!"
"What are you doing?" Butcher Gao obediently walked up to Xiao Er.
"Take the plow to the backyard." Xiao Er stood up and went to find the rope.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Butcher Gao standing still, "Why don't you go?"
"Xiao Er, you said this is a plow for farming?" Butcher Gao asked suspiciously, pointing to the crooked thing at his feet.
Xiaoer knew why he was asking this question. Zhiyuanli was very different from Quyuanli, and his Quyuanli had been remodeled.Xiaoer is still not sure whether the plow he installed by hand can be used, and adding the "basket of cakes", "If you tell you to go, go, what a waste of time!"
"Why don't I just ask?" Butcher Gao whispered.Seeing Xiao Er staring, he picked up the plow on the ground and ran away.
Seeing him moving so fast, Xiao Er smacked his tongue and said, "If you want to be strong, you have to eat a lot." Looking at his thin arms and legs, he comforted himself, don't be in a hurry, he is still young, he is only an adult, and he still has a chance to rise Space.
He took the rope and went to the backyard to see Butcher Gao staring at his plow stupidly, Xiao Er tied the rope to the plow without saying anything, "Help the plow up, let's see if the plow works."
When Butcher Gao saw that Xiaoer was holding the rope to pull the plow, he hurriedly said, "You help the plow, and I will pull it!"
"You are a customer, how can I let you pull me." It is true that Xiaoer who has no money is a bit stingy, but his soul has been educated for 20 years, which is also true, and he dare not let customers help him like an animal Pull the plow.
"You're not welcome, I'll be angry if you share with me again." As he spoke, Butcher Gao pretended to be angry and glanced at Xiao Er.
Xiaoer wants to say, I don't know you very well.Seeing him coming up, he grabbed the rope, "Okay, you pull, and I will hold the plow."
Xiao Er held the plow and walked about ten meters, then shouted, "Butcher Gao, stop."
"What's wrong?" Butcher Gao turned around, looked at the dirt turned up behind him, and asked in surprise, "This weird thing really works?"
"Of course, this is my plow." Xiaoer proudly threw the plow on the ground, squatted down to check the turned up soil, picked up a large piece of soil and smashed it with his hands, "Butcher Gao, you Let's see how the plow is doing."
Butcher Gao took a look, "The plow is really deep!"
"The plow shovel you saw yesterday is called a plow shovel. This plow shovel can break up the upturned mud. Didn't you notice it?" Xiaoer smiled when he saw that the plow was ready for use.
If Butcher Gao hadn’t listened to Xiao Er’s words, he wouldn’t have paid attention, “When will your family plow the land, I’ll help you!”
"Ah?" Xiaoer was dumbfounded. Seeing Butcher Gao staring at the plow on the ground with a strange expression, he raised his forehead and said, "My land is finished."
"What?" Butcher Gao didn't hear clearly, so he asked, "Your land has been cleared? Then what kind of plow do you make?"
"Sell it to the magistrate!" Xiaoer blurted out.As soon as the words came out, Xiao Er raised his hand and scratched himself.
"Why hit yourself?" Butcher Gao stared, "You are stupid!"
Isn't he stupid, or else he told the truth to a stranger.
When Butcher Gao saw that Xiao Er's expression was wrong, he thought about Xiao Er's words again, "Well, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll go to your pork stall and tell you that you sell sick pork!" Xiaoer raised his eyelids and said, seemingly true.
"I won't mess
