Chapter 93: The Dumpling Wants to Raise Piggy
Although it was a bit in a hurry, fortunately, there was a sister-in-law Hu to help. Both of them worked very neatly. After a while, the food was ready.
When he saw the braised fish on the table, Lao Hu couldn't help but exclaim.
"I have been greedy for a few days since I ate the braised fish made by my sister last time."
Hu's sister-in-law suddenly ridiculed: "Look at your glutton, I haven't seen how much work you do, so I think about coming here to eat and drink every day."
Lin Xiaoye smiled: "Brother Hu and Sister Hu have helped me so much. Even if I come to eat here every day, I still welcome them. It's just that the delicious food is not available every day, so don't dislike it."
Hearing the sound, Erdan hurriedly pulled at his father's clothes.
"Father, let's come to Auntie to eat here every day, um... big deal, when we come later, we will bring all the snake meat at home and give it to Auntie."
"Snake meat?" Lin Xiaoye was taken aback.
Could it be that there are still many snakes in their family?
At this time, Hu's sister-in-law said: "Yes, sister, you shouldn't forget that Erdan is a master at catching snakes. He usually makes money by raising snakes and selling snake meat."
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Xiaoye couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart.
Dealing with snakes every day is really amazing!
At this moment, Huo Li saw Lin Xiaoye's thoughts and curled his lips slightly.
"Just come."
This girl is afraid of snakes.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoye looked at Huo Li in a blink of an eye, and a flush of blush suddenly appeared on his face.
It seems that he remembered that he was afraid of snakes last time.
"It's okay, don't you think about taking advantage of the girl every day. Is it easy for someone to make some money to buy a la carte?" Hu sister-in-law came out and said.
Erdan's father was eating the rice in his mouth, and he casually said, "What are you shopping for? Isn't there a vegetable plot? For meat or something, don't you just have to raise your own pig?"
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Xiaoye was taken aback.
Yes, why not raise some pigs and chickens? Not only can you eat after you are fattened up, but when you arrive, chickens and ducks can lay eggs and duck eggs, so you don’t have to think about going to town to buy food every day.
Thinking about it, Lin Xiaoye said immediately, "Erdan's father has a good idea. I'll go to town and catch two piglets back tomorrow."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment. How could I think that Erdan's father just mentioned casually, Lin Xiaoye was really worried?
Although Little Piggy is not expensive, it still costs money.
They only remember that the former Huo Li and Lin Xiaoye were so poor that their lives are not at the same level as before, and they still feel strange in their hearts, how come they still have money to buy a little piglet. ?
Thinking about it, a few people looked at Huo Li in a blink of an eye. They thought that Huo Li should feel embarrassed or had a headache, but didn't think, Huo Li didn't have any expressions, and seemed to have tacitly agreed.
Suddenly everyone was even more puzzled.
In the dark, Lao Hu gently pushed Hu's sister-in-law, motioning her to ask.
Sister-in-law Hu was resisting at first, but everyone wanted to know at first glance, so she stepped forward and asked.
"Well, sister, it must be a good thing to hold Piggy, but this Piggy is not cheap either."
Lin Xiaoye was taken aback.
She forgot about it.
"Sister-in-law, how much is that Piggy?"
Lao Hu said: "That's hard to say, now it's all calculated by catty, usually 33 to 35 catties, depending on how big you want to buy."
Lin Xiaoye nodded.
In the modern era, I heard people say that the price of this little piggy is more expensive than the price of pork.
If you count this way, a piglet weighing ten catties will cost three to four hundred copper plates. If you hold two, it will basically be close to one or two silver. It is really not cheap.
But after thinking about it, waiting to fatten up the pigs and raise them, not only can they eat pork themselves, but they can also be sold in the town. They still make money when they wake up. Otherwise, what kind of money do those butchers make every day?
Just thinking about it, Sister Hu spoke again.
"Moreover, you raise piglets, but it's troublesome. Every day you have to get up early to mow the pig grass."
They couldn't be more familiar with these things. People in this village basically raise two pigs in every household, and they also raise chickens and ducks.
Lin Xiaoye nodded. She wanted to raise pigs before, but because she didn't have time to raise them, she let them go.
Just thinking about it, Tuanzi walked in front of Lin Xiaoye and gently pushed her hand.
Lin Xiaoye reacted and looked at the dumplings in a blink of an eye.
"What happened to the dumpling?"
Tuanzi glanced at Hu's sister-in-law, then looked at her again, and he grunted twice, staring at her with a pair of clear and innocent eyes.
Lin Xiaoye suddenly wrinkled her brows, she really didn't know what he was trying to say.
Then he looked at Huo Li in a blink of an eye, only to see that Huo Li's eyes darkened.
Lin Xiaoye suddenly seemed to understand something.
"Dumpling, do you want to say that you can buy two pigs at home and you can help mowing the pig grass?"
Hearing the sound, Tuanzi quickly widened his eyes, looked at Lin Xiaoye expectantly, and nodded heavily.
Lin Xiaoye suddenly felt her heart twisted, and she felt a little distressed.
This kid is always so sensible, the more sensible, the more distressed people feel.
Lin Xiaoye touched the small head of the dumpling: "Duanzi, you are still young now, where can you work? But since you want to raise piglets, let's raise them, but my mother doesn't need you to do things, my mother will be with you. Can you raise Piggy to fatten up?"
Upon hearing the sound, Tuanzi immediately laughed with joy.
Huo Li looked at Lin Xiaoye in a blink of an eye, and his affection for Lin Xiaoye grew stronger.
However, I don't know if Lin Xiaoye is talking about this, or really thinking like this, if he really wants to buy Piggy, he will definitely be busy by then.
Thinking about it, Huo Li was ready in his heart. He was strong enough to do anything, and he would definitely not tire Lin Xiaoye and Tuanzi.
At this time, Lin Xiaoye said: "That's it, I'll go to town to pick up piglets tomorrow. As for feeding, when I get back, I'm afraid that I won't be able to support it?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoye was so confident, several people were also very happy. They only hoped that Lin Xiaoye's life would pass the better.
At this time, Hu's sister-in-law suddenly thought of something.
He said in a blink of an eye, "Erdan'er father, didn't you say that there is a relative in your family who specializes in selling piglets in the village? Why do you want the girl to take a trip to the town and go directly to your relatives? Can you take it?"
Hearing the sound, Erdan's father was willing to put down his chopsticks and nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, yes, you don’t need to go to town, and it’s about to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Many people’s pigs have to be slaughtered. Most people will hug Piggy only when the spring starts next year. I’ll take you there tomorrow. I'll give you less money."
