Evil Dao Xiuxian: I can giantize elixirs and exotic beasts
Chapter 211 Snow Sculpture
"Why are you selling wolf meat to us?" Aunt Ma turned to look at Fang Ziyu.
"Yes, I'll sell them all." Fang Ziyu.
"Okay!" Aunt Ma pulled the raft and walked quickly towards the slaughtering area in the yard. She pulled the raft with one hand and her movements did not show any effort at all.
Fang Ziyu's eyes widened slightly, it looked like Aunt Ma was the one who was going to kill.
"Haha, boy Fang, your aunt's skills are better than mine. Relax and I guarantee that the six wolf skins can be peeled off intact." Butcher Ma saw Fang Ziyu's confusion and explained with a low laugh.
After Ma the butcher finished speaking, he stepped forward and took out a knife to help his wife.
The two men cooperated very well and peeled off a wolf skin in just seven or eight minutes.
"Wolfskin, you can go ask Mr. Zhang in the east of the village."
The butcher Ma placed the wolf skin on the table next to him and gave a hint to Fang Ziyu who was watching.
"Okay, Uncle Ma." Fang Ziyu watched the two men's movements. The silky, flowing movements actually brought a special "beauty" to the slaughter.
How can mending a donkey's kick be as interesting as skinning a wolf?
There are three 'masters' in Jishui Village.
Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ma, and Mr. Kuang.
Mr. Ma runs a medicinal herb business. His house is dozens of times larger than that of the Meng family. He has seventy or eighty servants in his family. He is the richest man in Jishui Village. Butcher Ma is a branch of Mr. Ma's family.
Mr. Zhang runs a fur business and has inherited the leather tanning techniques from his family. He opened a small shop in Ziyang County. Although the shop is not big, the income is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Finally, there is no need to say much about Mr. Kuang, Kuang Ping, the head of the village.
In about an hour, Butcher Ma and Aunt Ma had peeled off all six wolf skins.
"Excluding the internal organs, the total weight of the bones and meat is 215 kilograms."
"I'll charge you twelve cents per pound of blue-bellied, gray-backed wolf meat, a total of two thousand five hundred and eighty cents. How about that?" Aunt Ma looked away from the scale and towards Fang Ziyu.
"Okay." Fang Ziyu nodded in response. After Ma the butcher and the other man purchased the goods, they could sell them for no more than fourteen or fifteen cents, so twelve cents was an absolutely conscience price.
"Uncle Ma, don't be busy."
Fang Ziyu noticed that the butcher Ma had gone back to the house to get the money, so he quickly called him over and said, "Uncle Ma, I want to buy a pig, 200 kilograms."
"How much?" Ma the butcher turned around and glared.
"Huh?" Aunt Ma also looked a little surprised. After all, it was a festival every year, and there were only three people left in the old Meng family: Fang Ziyu, Fang Yue, and Liu Yunshu.
"A fan of pork, two hundred kilograms will do." Fang Ziyu repeated it after looking at the two men's surprised expressions.
Ordinary meat provides the same attribute points per pound, so it is more cost-effective to buy cheap pork, not to mention that he is also disgusted by wolf meat.
"Okay then, I'll give you eight pounds of pork..."
"Seven cents a pound." Butcher Ma stepped forward and stopped his wife from speaking. Then he walked straight into the shop and dragged out a slab of plucked pork from under the cabinet.
Aunt Ma glared at the back of Ma the Butcher, but she muttered a few times and didn't say anything else.
"One hundred and ninety-seven jin, eight liang and three qian, it's yours..." Butcher Ma was about to settle the bill when he found that Fang Ziyu took another pig's head from the table.
"Then you'll get two hundred pounds, a total of one thousand four hundred coins."
"Two thousand five hundred and eighty coins for wolf meat minus one thousand four hundred coins, there is still one thousand one hundred and eighty coins left."
Butcher Ma took out a string of coins and counted out 180 coins and handed them to Fang Ziyu.
"Ok."
Fang Ziyu smiled and put the money away, then placed the wolf skin, a fan of pork and the pig's head on the raft, said goodbye to Ma the butcher and the other man, and turned to walk home.
The two houses were not far apart, and it was only about a hundred meters away after walking around someone else's small courtyard.
However, Fang Ziyu was slightly stunned when he got home, because his sister-in-law Liu Yunshu was not at home, and only Fang Yue was playing with snowballs in the yard.
"Xiaoyue, where is your sister-in-law?" Fang Ziyu put the wolf skin and pork head away separately, then walked to his younger sister and squatted down.
"My sister-in-law went to collect the clothes. She said she could earn more than ten coins a day by mending them." Fang Yue stood up, leaning on her waist, and whined, "I want to go too, but she won't let me go. I also want to help."
"Puhehe." Fang Ziyu raised his hand and pinched Fang Yue's little face.
"You are still young now, you can help me when you grow up. Now you just need to be obedient, dear." Fang Ziyu looked at Fang Yue's cute expression and hugged her lovingly.
Six-year-old Fang Yue was very small, just one meter tall, with two tresses of hair covered with snowflakes, swaying back and forth, her little face flushed, her eyebrows and eyes pretty.
The two of them started playing on the snow in the courtyard. Fang Yue's happy laughter could be heard everywhere, and soon three proportionally sized snowmen were piled up.
Fang Ziyu meticulously carved the three snowmen with a wooden knife, and soon their outlines became clear. Even Fang Yue noticed.
"Brother, this is you, this is sister-in-law, and this is me?"
Fang Yue widened her eyes and watched Fang Ziyu scratching the bloated snowman. As the excess snow was removed, she found herself and the snowman turned into her.
“Without sophisticated tools, you can only do this much.”
Fang Ziyu took two steps back and looked at the snow sculpture that was over 40 centimeters tall. "Do you like it, Xiaoyue?"
"I like it, I like it very much." Fang Yue walked cautiously to the front of herself who had turned into a snowman, squatted down and looked her up and down carefully, her eyes bright and happy.
Fang Yue looked at the two snowmen next to her and whispered, "The three of us must be together forever. Xiaoyue doesn't want to be alone."
"Yeah, not only these snowmen, we will always be together and never separate."
Fang Ziyu squatted down and made a solemn promise.
Fang Yue nodded sensibly, but did not speak. Instead, she squatted on the ground and made snowballs, then piled the snowballs around the three snowmen, as if she was building a protective yard for the snowmen.
Fang Ziyu burst out laughing when he saw this, and turned to look at the snowman of his sister-in-law Liu Yunshu in the middle. She was sitting in a simple and quiet posture, with her legs together, her back leaning against the seat behind her, her hands clasped in front of her chest, her pretty face blurred, and her long hair hanging down to her knees.
It looks a bit rough when viewed from close up, but from a distance it has some of his sister-in-law's charm. Fang Ziyu walked to the door of the main hall to comment on his own work.
time flies.
Liu Yunshu returned in a hurry near dusk, her expression filled with exhaustion and worry. However, upon seeing Fang Ziyu at home, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked delighted.
"Erlang, I'm so glad you're okay. When I came back from mending clothes in the women's workshop, I heard two pieces of bad news."
Liu Yunshu closed the door tightly and bolted it, then walked into the main room with a worried look on his face, without even taking a close look at the three exquisite snowmen placed in the yard.
She had heard not long ago that a big demon appeared near the village, and immediately became worried about Fang Ziyu. Now that she found out that Fang Ziyu was fine, the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Fang Ziyu had been waiting for Liu Yunshu to praise the snowman he had made, but upon hearing this, he became serious. "Don't worry, sister-in-law. What happened? Is it about that giant black tiger?"
Fang Ziyu brought over the tea that he had brewed not long ago, and asked questions while pouring the water.
"Yeah, Erlang, don't go out recently." Liu Yunshu pulled Fang Ziyu to sit down, then picked up some hot tea to warm his hands.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I also want to live a few more years and will not seek death." Fang Ziyu naturally would not go out hunting again. After seeing the giant black tiger today, he finally became awed by the power of demons.
