Chapter 68

The next morning, Li Qieyou led the whole family to prepare pig killing rice.

The old village is leading a yellow haired girl in the village to drive two fat pigs and come to sell pigs to Li Qieyou.

The girl was obviously malnourished, her hair was dry and yellow, and she was pitifully thin. But the two pigs she came to were very fat and obviously well fed and taken care of.

"Xiao Lang, this is Zhao's little mother. She raised both pigs. You see, if it's suitable, buy her pig."

Old village Zheng took Li forgetful aside and whispered, "Zhao xiaoniang's father was also a government soldier in her early years. She was unlucky and didn't come back alive. She was left to depend on her widowed mother. Hey, Xiaolang, if it's convenient, take care of one or two. Buying her two pigs can also add some income to her family."

Li forgot to worry and felt sad when he heard the speech.

The orphan and widowed mother did not know how much injustice she had suffered. Moreover, if Zhao xiaoniang's father was also a former government soldier, he would have died for at least ten years.

In this way, Zhao xiaoniang should be a teenager, but he thought Zhao xiaoniang was not ten years old. She was too thin. Obviously malnourished, it can be seen how hard the mother and daughter are living

Regardless of avoiding suspicion, he reached out and touched the little girl's hair. His voice was very gentle: "Mom, I bought all your pigs. Do you want copper money or food?"

Zhao xiaoniang was very restrained and gave Li forgetful a blessing: "go back to your husband. If it's convenient, half the copper money and half the grain. I don't know if it's possible."

"Yes, of course." Li forgot to worry, nodded repeatedly and asked Li Heng to come out and weigh the two pigs.

The two pigs are up and down 200 Jin. Zhao xiaoniang looks at the high scale and smiles red. She cuts pig grass and feeds them carefully every day, so that she can sell a good price to supplement her family.

There are only mother and daughter in her family, who can't do heavy labor. Although everyone in the village takes good care of them and the Niu brothers often send them food, Zhao xiaoniang doesn't want to rely on others to live.

Li forgot to worry and said with a smile, "four hundred jin is really fat. Forty Wen and one jin, a total of 16000 Wen. Zhao xiaoniang, I'll give you eight Guan copper coins and two stones of grain. Do you think so?"

Who knows, Zhao xiaoniang shook her head: "Lang Jun, you're wrong. This is a hairy pig. It can't be calculated according to the price of pork slaughtered in the county and city. The price of hairy pig is less than 20 Wen at most. I can't accept Lang Jun so much."

Her words made Li forget to worry. He did deliberately calculate Zhao xiaoniang according to the price of the meat stall in the county, but he didn't expect that the little girl didn't accept it at all.

"Zhao xiaoniang, isn't it good to make more money?" Li forgets worry and asks.

Zhao xiaoniang's head shook like a rattle: "my mother has always taught me that people should be honest and don't take any money they shouldn't take. Besides, Lang Jun is willing to buy my pig. I'm taking care of it. I thank Lang Jun very much."

Li forget worry can only respect this.

Although poor, it is rare to adhere to the original intention without greed or inferiority. Is the quality of the people of the Tang Dynasty so high?

Li forgets worry and can only rely on Zhao xiaoniang: "then calculate according to 20 Wen. I'll give you four copper coins and five buckets of grain with one stone."

What else does Zhao xiaoniang want to say and write? She thinks she gives too much food, and the pig can't sell for 20 Wen.

But Li forgot to worry. Before she could speak, she stared: "just do as I say, otherwise I won't buy this pig!"

Zhao xiaoniang bit her lips with gratitude in her eyes, gave Li forgetful a blessing and promised to come down.

Find someone to help Zhao xiaoniang carry the copper money and grain home. The pig killer came, but it was no one else. It was the brother of the cow family.

"Niu Dalang, Erlang, are you still a guest butcher?" Li forgot to worry.

"What's a guest? Our brothers do all the slaughtering in this village, ha ha. Xiao Lang, I heard you're going to invite the whole village to eat pig killing rice today?"

"Yes, thank you for your help." Li Qieyou pointed to the yard, where a large pot has been built and the stove is boiling water.

Li forgets worry yesterday to want to invite the whole village people to eat after killing pigs, and began to prepare early.

The village was as lively as the new year when Li forgot to worry about killing pigs for a treat.

The old village is directing the people in the village to move out the straw mats and low tables from their own house and put them all the way directly on the village road. The dishes and chopsticks are also prepared by each family. Now we are waiting for the cattle brothers to kill the pigs.

Those bear children in the village came to see the excitement early.

The fat pig was dragged to the pig killing platform and screamed, but it made adults and children smile. These farm men rarely stick meat all year round.

Four or five strong men hold down the pig. Niu Wu holds a short knife and drops it, directly bleeding the fat pig.

Immediately, a mother-in-law and aunt brought a big basin and received the pig's blood. This is specially ordered by Li forgetful worry. Later, pig blood will be used to make blood tofu.

After the two fat pigs were silent, Li forgot to worry and ordered the people to carry the pigs aside, remove their hair with boiled water and wash them.

After opening his belly, Li forgot to worry and began to direct the division of labor among the women and aunts in the village, cleaning their intestines and pigs' heads and feet.

Niu Yong and Niu Wu cleaned up the two fat pigs and divided the pork and ribs.

"Xiao Lang, how do you make these pork? Do you want the village aunts to take the spoon?" Niu Wu wiped his sweat and asked.

"Please don't, I'll come to the pig killing meal today!" Li forgot to worry and quickly stopped. I'm afraid these aunts of the Tang Dynasty can't do anything except cook meat for nothing. That's really spoiling these two fat pigs.

Su Changqing had planned for her to take the spoon, but Li forget worry drove her away: "ha ha, you can't do this pig killing rice today. Look at me."

"Can you really?" Su Changqing was a little unsure.

"Hey, look, I used to spend the new year in the village. My family had to cook pig killing rice every year." Li forgot to worry, rolled up his sleeve and walked to the stove.

His move startled everyone. Neither Li Heng nor Peilan nor Qiu Kun expected that Li forget you was going to take charge of it himself.

"Xiao Lang, the gentleman is far away from cooking..." Qiu Kun didn't expect Li forgetful to cook for a group of Tian Shirang himself. Some were frightened.

Li forgot to worry, glanced at him obliquely and spat: "bah, that sentence clearly means that a gentleman is good at animals. Seeing their life, he can't bear to see their death; hearing their voice, he can't bear to eat their meat. It's because a gentleman can cook far away. You eat meat all at once. What's the good meaning to say that a gentleman can cook far away? Don't eat it later if you have the ability!"

Qiu Kun was embarrassed and hid with a smile. He planned to see what tricks Li forgetful could make and whether it was as delicious as the marinated meat noodles last night.

Li Qieyou began to command a group of people to start a fire for him, making a fire and doing chores. He operated several large stoves at the same time.

Fat intestines and blood, braised meat, Dongpo elbow, small fried meat, double cooked meat, white meat with mashed garlic, braised ribs, fried liver and waist

Li forgot to worry and used his whole body skills. He was so busy that he was sweating.

Delicious dishes that the people of the Tang Dynasty had never seen before were constantly brought out and filled with seats in the village.

The smell of pork was so exciting that the adults and children in the village were drooling. They all looked at Li forgetful, who was busy on the stove, and waited for the dinner.

When Li forgot to worry about the last dish and ordered his aunts to bring it to the table, the pig killing rice can finally open!

Just as everyone was ready to eat, there was the sound of horses' hoofs outside the village
