After the pig was disemboweled and the internal organs were packed in buckets, Ye Yuran asked his sons to take them to the backyard and ask the Lins who were waiting there to clean them.

Butcher Li helped cut the pig into pieces and put them in the basket: "This size is about the same. When it is marinated, blow it and blow it into dried meat. You can save so much pork and eat it until next autumn's harvest."

Yes. Are you really not going to sell a little bit of your home?"

"I won't sell it anymore, the old woman said. Anyway, I have bought new clothes at home now, and I won't add any new year's goods this year. I will keep this pork for myself, and I will save money on buying pork in the future." Old man Zhu laughed so hard that his mouth split.

Up to the ears.

In previous years, when pigs were killed, only a few were kept for the New Year, and most of them were sold.

There is no way. Although the pigs are raised every year, the pigs are not fat. From the beginning to the end of the year, they have to rely on this pig to buy new year's goods for the family. Apart from the ones that need to be exchanged for money, how much is left?

"That's right, raising pigs at home is definitely cheaper than selling them outside." Butcher Li said with a smile, "You can also invite me to kill pigs next year. I promise to kill them beautifully for you and not waste any blood."

Butcher Li was also happy to be able to kill a few more fatter pigs, because it was also a gratifying thing.

When people know that he can easily kill fat pigs, others are willing to invite him - this is a kind of superstition, as if as long as he kills the pigs, the pigs in the family will become fatter.

"You killed the pig beautifully, so of course I have to look for you. Don't worry, I will look for you next year too." Old Man Zhu handed him the red envelope he had prepared.

This kind of red seal, in addition to being hard-earned money wrapped in "red paper", is also used to ward off evil spirits.

As a pig butcher, you have a strong murderous spirit. Wrap the copper plate in red paper and press it. It is good for the owner or the pig butcher.

As soon as Butcher Li squeezed it, he knew that the Zhu family was kind and packed two more coins than usual, and he was also happy in his heart.

No matter how much money you can make by killing pigs for others, it is only done once a year. If you want to make money, you can only make it for a while, and there is nothing good to make.

So, on the surface, it seems like butchers like them are making a lot of money, but it's actually not that easy.

Butcher Li also asked Old Man Zhu about how his family fed the pigs, and why they were fatter than others. Maybe Butcher Li didn't raise pigs himself, but he talked to the owner when he was killing pigs, and they found out

The host is not happy either.

Old man Zhu didn't think too much and said happily: "What's the secret? Just wash the pig pen frequently and feed the pigs more diligently. My old woman is very particular about cleaning the pig pen every few days and even feeding the pigs."

The food is all cooked..."

Old man Zhu didn't know that there were screws inside.

He is not responsible for feeding pigs. He comes into contact with pigs throughout the year, which is probably when buying piglets and killing pigs.

"The old woman said that pigs, like people, also like to be clean. If you give them a dirty place to live, they will not be happy," Old Man Zhu said with some showboating, "After cleaning them, they will feel better.

Eat more happily. Do you think this is true?"

Butcher Li didn't know if the other party was completely telling the truth, but he also smiled and said: "You are right to say that. You see the animals on the mountain also like to run to clean places. Maybe that's the reason."

"That's the reason. After it lives comfortably, and then the food is cooked and fed to it, it will eat happily. It will eat more and sleep well, and it will gradually gain weight."

…

The pork was cut into pieces, and there was no work left for Butcher Li. He just sat there chatting with Old Man Zhu, and served him good tea and snacks.

As for the yard, Zhu Da and Zhu Er helped clean it up.

Pig blood, pig fur, etc. can be sent to the "compost pit" and are all good materials for making compost.

When Butcher Li ate it for the first time, he was surprised: "What is this?!"

"Oh, the old lady asked her daughters-in-law to make the food at home." Old man Zhu didn't go into the kitchen, so he didn't know how it was made. He just ate it, like peanuts, and wrapped it with a layer of bean dregs.

class of things.

"What kind of beans are these so hard inside? Why do they taste so good when chewed?" Li Tu ate a few beans and felt reluctant to eat them.

I was embarrassed in front of the host family, but thinking about the children at home, I still shamelessly said that I would pretend to go home.

"There are all kinds of beans, and there are many flavors." Old Man Zhu also ate a few. "They are the seeds that we usually plant in the fields. When I wasn't paying attention, the old woman picked out some extra beans, wrapped them in bean dregs, and made them into snacks.

Yes. If you like it, just pretend a little more. Just wait, I'll get you a small basket."

"No, no, I'll just put it in my clothes."

"No, this bean dregs will fall off easily when touched. You'd better use a basket." Old man Zhu entered the room and took a small bag-like thing made of dried palm leaves, about the size of a palm, and handed it to Butcher Li.

, "There is this."

"This thing is quite practical." Butcher Li poured out half of it at once. After all, he was a guest at someone else's house. If everything was poured out, it would be "embarrassing" for them to just sit here.

He planned to throw away his portion and eat less.

"There is a belt here. Pull it and you can tie it up." Old Man Zhu reminded him.

"Is this still possible? Yes, yes, who came up with this?" Butcher Li thought the twine was for carrying it at first, but he was a little surprised that it could be tied around the mouth, making it look like a cloth bag.

Cloth is relatively expensive, and most people are reluctant to use it to make bags, so they can only buy expensive things like rice and noodles. They have no choice but to be determined to get one.

But this "little basket" from Zhu's family can basically be used as long as it doesn't contain anything as delicate as rice and noodles.

"It's not that girl from my family. She learned to knit bracelets from her mother. When she didn't have time to practice, she used thinner threads to knit some small bags like this." Old Man Zhu said, "I put in all the effort, and that's all.

, and it can’t hold anything, so it’s better to make a few more bracelets and sell them.”

Thinking of the girl from the Zhu family who was already able to make money, Butcher Li couldn't help but feel envious: "You're not talking about the eighth sister? Your eighth sister is really powerful. At such a young age, she can make money for the family.

Let me tell you, my mother-in-law often tells me that your eighth sister is very skillful and the things she makes are both beautiful and easy to sell. Every time I go to the market, I can see a lot of them being sold..."

Of course, what he didn't say was that when his mother-in-law said it, she also scolded a few words about the second girl in their family, who was about to get married and was still "harvesting" for the family foundation.

Bring back some dowry yourself.

People say that he kills pigs to make money, but who knows, he has four golden flowers in his house and the dowry alone is enough to make him worry to death.

I don't know if it was because he killed too many pigs and hurt Tianhe. He gave birth to four girls in a row before he got a son.

When the eldest girl got married, he paid a share of the dowry; next year it would be the second girl's turn, and there would be two more girls behind her, all of whom had to "stick to their old laurels", which really worried him to death.

Unlike the girl from the Zhu family, she has already started saving for herself a dowry three or four years before she gets married. She doesn't know how much money she will save for her family. Moreover, with her money-making skills, she will definitely be able to save a dowry.

Choose a good family.
