Chapter 103: Fanning the Pigs at the Butcher's House

After sending the person away, Mrs. Qiao Chen was still very angry. Zhen Yue said on the side: "Next time, don't believe what my mother says." She understood Mrs. Zhen Yang. If she was really a good person, she would not introduce such a person to her unless she could get a huge benefit.

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "I thought since we are relatives, she would help a little. Third brother, it's okay, we can look at a few more."

Qiao San scratched his head and said, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry."

Mrs. Qiao Chen twisted him and said, "How can you not be anxious? Do you think it will be done right after you see each other? After that, we have to choose a date, go through the six ceremonies, and after the engagement, we have to choose a date to get married."

"Your sister-in-law and her family didn't get anything at the beginning, so I don't think I can get past them."

When Zhen Yue got married, she had nothing. Her family was extremely poor. All she had was a piece of cloth and fifty cents. In the end, the Zhen family was still not satisfied and gave her some more food. I don't know how long the Qiao family had saved up for the fifty cents.

"You don't have to compare with us. Your family is well off now. It's okay if you can marry a good wife and spend more. At most, you can make up for it privately." Zhen Yue said.

When Qian heard this, she agreed very much, "Mom, I think what my sister-in-law said makes sense. You just need to give us the supplies." Hehe, she can get some more things.

Qian also knew that the family was well off and the wife her third brother married would definitely be paid more than what she and her eldest sister-in-law had given. She blamed herself for not marrying into the Qiao family when they were richer. But when she heard Zhen Yue say that she could make up for it, she was more than satisfied.

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "That's good. Let's wait until the third brother's matchmaking is successful and then we'll decide how to give the betrothal gift."

"Ah."

While Qiao Sanxiang was watching, Xiang the butcher came to find Qiao Er. He was mainly concerned about fanning the pigs. Qiao Er was a little afraid that he would not do a good job. It would be fine for his own pigs, but what if he killed someone else's pigs? So he was a little worried.

"Brother, can you go with me?" Qiao Er wanted Qiao Da to accompany him.

Zhen Yue said at the side, "You go ahead, Qiao Er should be fine after you go once."

Qiao Chao: “Okay.” Qiao Chao was originally chopping wood, and he went to wash his hands before following them.

Xiang the butcher was not from Da Nan Village, but from Da Bei Village. Qiao Chao and Qiao Er followed him to Da Bei Village. On the way, Xiang the butcher kept saying that their pork was delicious. "Didn't I buy some back then? My father knew the taste of the meat was different as soon as he tasted it."

Xiang the Butcher's father is also a butcher, but he rarely slaughters pigs anymore. All the work is left to Xiang the Butcher. "I told him that the meat of your pigs is so delicious because they are fanned. I said that we should try fanning our pigs next year, and my father agreed."

"My family bought three pigs and plans to fan two of them for trial. We will compare the remaining one to see if there is any difference. If it is good, we will fan all the pigs in our family in the future."

Qiao Er: "You have to be conservative. My family also bought a few pigs, but they were all fanned."

To the butcher: "You are really brave."

Soon they arrived at Xiang the butcher's house in Dabei Village. Xiang the butcher's house had a large courtyard and a total of four rooms. The house looked much better than Qiao's.

However, it seems that Xiang the butcher’s family has been butchers for generations, so the family is relatively wealthy.

"Dad, we're back." Xiang the butcher shouted after he entered the house. Xiang An, the butcher's father, came out, and Xiang's mother, his wife and children also came out. Xiang the butcher's eldest child was thirteen or fourteen years old, about the same age as Qiao San.

The butcher introduced Qiao Chao and Qiao Er to them, "These are the sons of Qiao Dashan from Danan Village. They are here to help our family fan the pigs this time."

The butcher's mother immediately welcomed the person in and said, "Come in, come in, daughter-in-law, go and pour some tea."

"Hey."

Qiao Er waved his hand and said, "No need, let's start as soon as possible. By the way, do you have iodine wine at home? If not, I can bring it, but it will cost an extra penny." They set the price of fifteen pennies for fanning a pig.

If the pig dies accidentally, you don't have to pay any money, but you can't get compensation either. After all, accidents do happen, and this was agreed upon in advance.

To the butcher: "Yes, I'll get it out."

Qiao Chao and Qiao Er went to the pig pen to look at the pigs. The others also stood aside. Xiang An pointed at two of the pigs and said, "Let's fan those two today."

Qiao Er: "Okay, but you guys help hold the pig down for a while."

"no problem."

After a while, Xiang the butcher took out the iodine, and Qiao Er took the knife and sharpened it. The knife must be sharp for this job.

The butcher's wife, Wen, whispered to him, "Is it really possible?"

To the butcher: "This year, several of their pigs were fanned."

Wen: "Several? So many."

"Yeah. That's why I asked."

"To the butcher, please catch the pig we want to fan. We will go to the side. And make sure the other pig doesn't see us." Qiao Er sharpened the knife, prepared the needle and thread, and asked someone to catch the pig.

"No problem." Xiang the butcher quickly caught the pig. Qiao Chao and Xiang the butcher's father also helped. Qiao Chao also covered the pig's eyes to prevent it from seeing.

Wen didn't dare to look, and told the children not to look, and asked them to cover their eyes. The butcher's mother was braver and she actually walked over to look.

Qiao Er was already very skilled. He sewed the wound with one stroke of the knife. Although the pig screamed, it was soon healed.

In less than ten minutes, a pig was fanned.

Qiao Er asked them to put the pig back. "Take good care of it these few days. Check the wound occasionally to see if it is bleeding. If the pig is not in good condition, you can find a doctor. By the way, remember to apply iodine to the pig's wound three times a day. As long as the wound is healed, the pig will be fine too."

"No problem." He nodded to the butcher.

"Then let's move on to the second one."

"Ah."

Soon the second pig was also fanned, and in less than half an hour they had earned thirty cents, and the Xiang family was even planning to invite them to stay for dinner.

Qiao Chao refused, "No, we still have work to do at home, and we have to go back to work, let's wait until next time."

Qiao Er also said, "Let's wait until next time. If there are any problems with the pigs, come and find me."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xiang the butcher sent the two men out the door.

"it is good."

After Qiao Chao and Qiao Er left, Xiang the butcher's mother suddenly said, "Ah!" "Were those delicious radishes from last time also from their family? I should have asked them if they had any left. We could have paid for them. Those radishes were really delicious. I think they would also be delicious if made into dried radishes."

To the butcher: "I'll go over and ask next time. The vegetables they grow seem to be very delicious. I heard that they made a lot of money recently, and it seems that they made money by growing vegetables and selling them."

"No wonder they can make money, the radish is like ginseng."

Qiao Chao and Qiao Er returned home soon. Qiao Er originally wanted to give the money to Zhen Yue. Usually the money earned would be divided among Zhen Yue before being given to Qiao Chen for safekeeping.

Zhen Yue didn't take the money. "This is what you earned. You can keep it. You can give some to mom to show your filial piety to them."

Qiao Er was a little embarrassed, "Big brother helped me today."

Qiao Chao: "No need to give it to me, just take it. You should be able to go by yourself next time."
