Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

Seeing Xiaowu's puzzled look, Su Yu said: "Forget it, I'll go with you, so that you won't have trouble explaining it to the carpenter."

"Yes".

"Where is the silver? How much did you bring?" Su Yu asked. He was different from his original self. He liked to check his pockets when he went out.

"Master, I only have five taels of silver in total. How about asking Madam for some silver?" Xiao Wu said timidly.

Just when he was about to say how it was possible, he remembered the original owner's life of debauchery and extravagance. Su Yu really wanted to faint in the toilet. Why did he wear such a thing? Fat would have been fine, but he was also poor, with so little property. Poor Su Yu, he had been a slave for more than ten years in modern times, and he couldn't even enjoy the money, house, and car he saved... If he had known earlier, he would have just given up and not been a slave.

Su Yu finally asked his mother for fifty taels of silver. What Su Yu didn't know was the conversation between him and Xiao Wu after they left.

Nanny Wang said with a worried look in her eyes: "Madam, the silver we brought with us over the years has been almost used up. We only have one hundred taels left in total. You gave the young master fifty taels today, and the remaining fifty taels are only enough for two months' expenses. The young lady is still sick and needs some money to see a doctor."

"When the time comes, you can pawn some of the jewelry in my makeup box. It will last for a while," Su's mother said nonchalantly.

Nanny Wang was helpless as she looked at the lady who didn't care about money and didn't know anything about household affairs even though she was a married woman. When the time came, she was really out of options and had no hope from her own master. She could only go to her mother's family, the Taifu Mansion, for help. She just didn't know whether the Taifu Mansion would pay attention to her own wife at that time.

Shopping is every girl's nature. As long as she goes out, she will fly like a bird out of a cage. Although Su Yu didn't do that much exaggeration, it was obvious that he was in a very happy mood.

He looked left and right, and everything he saw was new and interesting. Seeing that the young master looked like he had never seen the world, Xiao Wu couldn't help but have a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"What's wrong, young master? Why is it the same as the first time he came here?"

Without giving it time to think, he had already arrived at the carpenter's shop in the west of the city. As soon as he saw the customer coming, the old craftsman who was originally dressed in gray linen clothes and was polishing wood hurriedly stood up to greet the guest. One could vaguely see wood chips between the old man's black or white hair. The old man was a famous craftsman in this area with superb skills, especially good at carving. Everyone called him Carpenter Chen.

So when Su Yu took out the design drawings and explained the item he wanted to order, Carpenter Chen didn't think much of it, thinking it was just a more elaborate carved design from a wealthy family.

Until I saw the design of the dressing table, which was different from the traditional dressing mirror. The dressing copper mirror was in the middle, and the middle drawer was designed with several small grids. A small wooden box was inlaid on the left and right of the table top, and there were four drawers designed on the left and right below the table top. The style was novel and the carvings were intricate.

The important thing is that the drawer designed by Su Yu has pulleys. Carpenter Chen didn’t quite understand this design, so he respectfully asked Su Yu to explain the principle behind it.

After Su Yu's explanation, Carpenter Chen was even more astonished by Su Yu's design. If Su Yu was not still young, the look in Carpenter Chen's eyes would really make him want to kneel down and worship Su Yu as his master.

Then there is the rocking chair, which is not as complicated to make as a dressing table.

After Su Yu communicated with Carpenter Chen, he quickly grasped the essence of it, and his eyes towards Su Yu became more and more passionate.

Looking at Carpenter Chen's fiery gaze, if Su Yu was not still a fat man, Su Yu would have suspected that this old man had some special hobby.

Two swings, a dressing table, and a rocking chair, the materials and labor cost twenty taels, and Carpenter Chen had given him a discount. Su Yu asked Xiaowu to pay a deposit of ten taels and agreed to pick up the goods five days later.

After Su Yu and the other person left the carpenter's shop, he took Xiao Wu and walked towards the butcher's shop where they had been yesterday.

Originally, Su Yu wanted to go directly to the local government to tell them the method of castrating pigs, but he had no evidence and no facts to prove it, so people probably wouldn't believe him. Moreover, his original body's reputation was so bad that people might just treat him as empty talk and a joke.

So Su Yu changed his previous idea and went directly to the butcher shop. From a distance, he saw Butcher Zhang, who was shirtless with a body full of tendons showing, chopping bones with a big knife.

Not many people around me buy meat. After all, it is fishy and smelly. Rich people don’t want to eat it, and people who are really poor can’t afford it. Only a few people with a little money occasionally buy it to satisfy their cravings and taste the fat.

When Su Yu walked to the front of the stall, butcher Zhang recognized Su Yu's fat body at a glance. He was the benefactor who helped him catch the thief yesterday.

Come to think of it, this was an era where famine was common, and there weren't many people who could eat as much as Su Yu.

Butcher Zhang grinned broadly when he saw Su Yu, and said with a simple smile: "Little brother, come and buy some meat. I haven't thanked you properly for helping me catch the thief yesterday. I'll give you a discount if you buy the meat."

His passionate look gave no hint of how he had spitted at the weak scholar before.

Su Yu really couldn't get used to such an enthusiastic elder brother. After all, he had been in the workplace for many years, and the people he usually came into contact with were all social elites. Everyone was toasting each other at the table, and every word he said had to be thought about eight hundred times, and he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

However, Su Yu could still feel the simplicity and kindness of the rough man in front of him.

Su Yu couldn't help but be infected by his simple smile, and smiled and said, "I'm not buying meat. I came here today to find Brother Zhang for something else."

"What do you want from me? Just tell me, brother. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you," the man said with a hearty laugh.

As he said this, he patted Su Yu's shoulder. Su Yu felt that his whole shoulder was about to be broken. He gritted his teeth and took a step back, sighing in his heart, this guy is really strong.

So Su Yu told Butcher Zhang about her idea of castrating the pigs and explained the effects of castration. Butcher Zhang was obviously tempted.

But his expression was still a little hesitant. Seeing the hesitation in Zhang the Butcher's eyes, Su Yu continued to persuade him and said that he wanted to go to their village and talk to the village chief again.

Butcher Zhang was also moved by what Su Yu said, but the matter was of great importance, so he was a little hesitant. But when he heard Su Yu asked to see the village chief, he agreed. After all, the village chief was the most educated person in the whole village.

So Butcher Zhang packed up his stall early and took Su Yu and Xiao Wu on a bullock cart to Zhangjia Village, three kilometers away from the west city market.

Along the way, both sides of the ridges were full of green rice. Looking at the green, sitting in the slowly moving ox cart, and feeling the breeze mixed with the fragrance of grass and rice seedlings, Su Yu felt extremely comfortable.

Xiao Wu looked at the young master who looked so happy and was puzzled. The young master used to look down on ox carts and always used a horse carriage for travel.

If it weren't for the fact that he had pawned his carriage a while ago in order to go to Baihua Tower for fun... He concealed the look in his eyes, as if nothing had happened.

Zhangjia Zhang, in front of the headman’s house in Zhang Village.

Butcher Zhang parked the ox cart.

"Knock, knock, knock," "Is the village chief here?" He shouted while banging on the door with his palms as big as a palm-leaf fan. The wooden door made a "creak, creak" sound. The force was so great that Su Yu was afraid that the door would be broken apart by him.

Fortunately, a fat lady wearing a turban and coarse cloth came to open the door after a while.

Seeing that the person coming was the village chief's wife, Butcher Zhang asked: "Aunt Chen, is the village chief here?"

"Yes, I'm feeding the pigs in the pigpen at the back," the aunt responded in a loud voice.

She asked doubtfully, "Who are these two?"

As soon as she walked out, she saw Su Yu in a black satin dress and Xiao Wu in cotton gauze behind Zhang Yong.

"They are my guests. If you have any important matters, please discuss them with the village chief," Zhang Yong replied.

"What kind of bad thing could happen? It's just a small village..." Before Aunt Chen could continue muttering.

Zhang Yong interrupted her chatter and said, "Let's go find the village chief first."

As Butcher Zhang said this, he hurriedly pulled Su Yu to the back of the house to find the village chief.

He whispered quietly in Su Yu's ear, in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Aunt Chen, you don't mean any harm, you just like to nag too much. Let's go quickly."

In fact, on the way here, Su Yu had already learned from Zhang the butcher that their Zhangjia Village had a centralized pig farming system, and all the pigs in the village were raised behind the village chief's house.

There are about fifty big pigs and thirty small pigs. The village is not big, with only about a dozen households, each with five or six people. Each household provides one or two people to be responsible for the daily work of mowing and feeding the pigs.

Butcher Zhang is responsible for sales, and he will distribute the money at the end of the year. This can be considered an income for each household. Although the price of the pigs is not high, everyone still attaches great importance to it.

The labor force for pig farming is basically the women and children in the village, and the remaining strong men need to plow the fields and farm. After all, in this agricultural era, farming is the main occupation. Poor families rely on the output of the fields to make a living all year round, and the harvest time is their happiest time.

When Su Yu and others arrived at the pigpen, they saw this scene: a short, skinny old man and several thin women with their equally thin children were feeding the pigs.

The pig was very irritable and kept hitting the fence with its head. The fear and terror in the eyes of the children and women were obvious, but they did not move an inch and continued to add grass to the stone trough for the pig.

Zhang Yong seemed to be accustomed to this. He said to the skinny and short old man: "Village chief, this is a new brother I met. I have something important to discuss with you."

The skinny and short old man turned around after hearing this and looked at Su Yu and the other person behind Zhang Yong, who were wearing silk and cotton yarn respectively. He could tell that they were noble people just by looking at the fabric of their clothes.

Su Yu folded his hands and bowed slightly towards the village chief.

He said: "Greetings, Village Chief Zhang. My name is Su Yu and I live in Taohua Lane. I'm sorry to bother you. I've come here to discuss something important with you."

Village Chief Zhang asked: "What's the matter? Just tell me."

Before Su Yu could repeat himself, Zhang Yong couldn't wait to tell the village chief about the pig castration with a happy face.

Village chief Zhang was already fond of Su Yu because he saw that she behaved in a measured manner and was dressed in fancy clothes. He also heard that Zhang Yong had been praising Su Yu's good method and benefits of castrating pigs.

Village Chief Zhang's thin face relaxed a little, but he still raised his questions cautiously.

He asked, "Master Su, will this pig die after being castrated?"

Su Yu said calmly: "No, if we apply medicine to the pigs to treat their wounds and keep the pigpen clean and hygienic, the mortality rate will be very low."

Su Yu couldn't guarantee 100% that none of the pigs would die. After all, the medical conditions in ancient times were so poor. He could only use the spiritual spring water in the space and wood ash to apply to the wounds to reduce the possibility of infection.

Village chief Zhang raised another more realistic question: "What if your method leads to the death of the pig? The pig does not belong to my family alone. Every villager has a share."

Su Yu smiled faintly and asked, "How much do you want for this pig now?"

"A 200-jin pig costs about two taels of silver, and a piglet costs fifty cents," the old man said embarrassedly.

"Then I will buy twenty big pigs and thirty piglets, and castrate all of them. This way, the village chief won't feel embarrassed. If my method proves to be effective, I will do castration this way in the future."

If money was not limited, Su Yu would like to buy them all.

Su Yu ordered: "Xiaowu, pay."

Xiao Wu was very hesitant. He slowly took out two twenty-liang silver ingots and a small one-liang silver ingot from his purse and handed them to Village Chief Zhang.

Zhang Yong, who was standing by, touched his head and thought to himself, how can I get Brother Su to pay me for this? After the pig is castrated, the pork will no longer have a fishy smell, which is a great thing.

But the pigs belong to everyone, not just Zhang Yong, so he can't make the decision.

Village chief Zhang had no objections or doubts about this, so he went back to the house to find his wife, Mrs. Chen, and took out five hundred copper coins and gave them to Xiaowu.

So Su Yu described the method of castration of boars without any hesitation, and also suggested that it is best to castrate piglets and they will recover the best. In the future, castration must be done when pigs are young.

Su Yu then left two bottles of spiritual spring water for Village Chief Zhang, saying it was a superior medicine and asking them to add it to the wood ash and apply it to the pig's wound. He then explained some subsequent hygiene precautions.

Finally, Su Yu agreed with the village chief to come back to pick up the pigs after March.

Zhang Yong enthusiastically sent Su Yu and his servant to West Street in an ox cart. Su Yu then said goodbye, saying that he still had some things to buy.

Zhang Yong didn't say much. After saying goodbye, he drove back to the village.

Su Yu walked on the street, looking around, thinking about how to make money. He went out with 55 taels, and in the blink of an eye, he was only left with 4 taels and 500 wen. The money was not enough! ! ! !

I've been busy for so long, it should be noon now, I'm so hungry!!!

So Su Yu took Xiao Wu to eat two bowls of wontons on the street. The wontons had vegetarian fillings, but you couldn't tell what kind of wild vegetables they were, and they were crispy.

After eating, I filled my stomach.

Su Yu continued to walk around and saw someone selling candied haws on the roadside. Su Yu bought two strings. He saw beautiful pearl flowers on the stalls on both sides of the road. Su Yu bought two. He thought to himself, these pink ones are so cute, my sister should like them.

"Boy, behave yourself. If you run again, I'll break your legs," a vicious voice came from not far away.

There were people surrounding them, and Su Yu didn't want to get too close. After all, Su Yu had no interest in this. But then he heard a shrill female voice, which was so heartbreaking.

Su Yu admitted that she felt a little soft-hearted. She sighed helplessly, shook her head, and walked towards the direction of the voice.
