Chapter 75： big enough heart

Li Shi was distressed again, and muttered, "To kill a pig today, it would be great to use your own meat to make dumplings. Yesterday, it would be better if you didn't buy meat for a day, and you wasted money."

Zhulan couldn't help rolling her eyes. Why didn't she say it when she was buying meat yesterday, and why didn't she say it when she was eating dumplings, she said, "My meat is not money?"

Seeing that her mother was unhappy, Mrs. Li hurriedly snorted and changed the subject, "Mother, how much meat do you keep this year?"

Zhulan really never thought about it. In previous years, there were not many left at home. Who made the family have two holes to burn money, and the two fat pigs raised every year left more than ten kilograms of meat. When it comes to thawing, she is a person who doesn't like meat, and her meat is cheaper than buying, so saving more will save more money, "Keep a whole pork ribs, four elbows, a pair of pigs, and six Ten pounds of meat is enough."

After deducting the weight of the pig's blood, a pig of 250 catties can sell less than 100 catties of meat.

First, Mrs. Li was happy to save more meat to eat, but she couldn't help but make up her mind, "Mother, will the third brother not go to the private school next year?"

"Who told you? The third child couldn't tell by himself?"

Li Shi hurriedly waved his hand, "I guess, my mother was reluctant to keep meat in previous years. I thought that my mother felt that the third brother was a waste of money and would not let him go."

Zhulan exhaled, thinking that her third son was tired of studying, and explained: "Before, my mother wanted to be bad, and I will not be reluctant to eat in the future. After a serious illness, I would rather eat well than spend money. Money to buy medicine, if you have money to buy medicine, it is better to eat and drink well to keep your body healthy, do you think this is the truth?"

When Li thought about it, it was true. In previous years, children would get sick in the winter. This year, they ate well and dressed well. The child's body was strong and did not suffer from illness. It did save money for medicine. "Mother is right, mother, I want Don't leave more meat?"

Zhulan wanted to eat sausage and sausage, but unfortunately Wang Ru didn't come up with it. She didn't dare to do it. It seemed that fresh meat was the best thing to make sausages.

Butcher Li came with a guy. The male labor in the family is enough, and there is no need to invite outsiders. One pig will be slaughtered quickly, and the other pig will just go to Butcher Li's house. The pure meat butcher received seven cents a pound, and the two pigs of Zhulan's family received more than twenty taels of silver.

According to Zhulan, pigs grow very fast if they give up some coarse grains. A pig can earn some money after deducting the cost, but those who are reluctant to give up grain will not grow meat or fat. The price of a pig is not high, but it can also make some money. , Zhulan's two pigs earned a tael of pork, not counting the pork they kept.

It’s a pity that pigs in ancient times had a high mortality rate without vaccines. There was really no one in the village who specialized in raising pigs. Most families raised one so that they could earn less money without buying meat for the New Year. No one expected to raise pigs. To get rich, the risk is too high.

Of course, there are also people who can't get enough to eat, everyone is not rich, and they can't afford to raise pigs at all.

Zhoujia Village is a good village in Shili Baxiang, because Zhoujia Village has a large ethnic group with the Zhou surname of Shili Ba Village. The small 100 mu of land does not need tax, and can earn a lot of money every year, which is relatively richer than other villages.

Of course, the life of having a scholar in the family is still very tight. It will cost more money for a scholar to go to the exam, but the clansmen who put the land under the name of a scholar have spare money in the hands of no scholar in the family.

Boss Zhou sent Butcher Li away, and Mrs. Zheng came with Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Zheng took advantage of it and said, "Sister-in-law, the pigs are being slaughtered. I heard it very clearly at home. When I heard it, it was a big fat pig. My sister-in-law is really good at raising pigs. , look at the pig's blood in one pot, can't you give me so much pig blood for my sister-in-law?"

Zhulan snorted in her heart, her face was really big, "No."

Zheng's face couldn't hold back after being pouted, and he snorted, "Stingy."

Zhulan won't get angry when she doesn't need to, so don't hear it.

Wang Ru touched her hair, but after raising it for so long, she couldn't raise it well. Looking at pig blood, she remembered that pig blood is good for your health and cheap, but she knew that the Zhou family would not sell it to her. I will go to Butcher Li's house to buy some. She came here with a purpose. "Grandma Zhou, I remember that Aunt Li's house sells spicy cabbage. Why hasn't there been any news for more than half a month?"

The brush in Mrs. Li's hand fell off, "Oh, how could I forget about this!"

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

I have to admit that Mr. Li is really big!
