After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs
Chapter 50 Kill the pig!
Zhao Huanxi felt like he had had a very long dream. Everything in the dream was so real. He was still working overtime at the company, and his boss was still calling to urge him to come up with a plan. Suddenly, he became a child again, following his grandmother like a follower.
When she woke up, she found that the sun was setting and Tai Ge's big eyes were looking at her.
I stretched myself and looked down. I saw that Taige's hair had become half human-shaped due to my sleeping. No wonder Taige looked at me like that. It made me feel embarrassed.
But to be honest, I slept so comfortably, as if all my tiredness had been swept away and I felt refreshed. I had traveled back to ancient times and was just a slave in a different place. It seemed that only by staying next to Tai Ge could I find a moment of peace.
Zhao Huanxi asked Brother Tai about some of the happenings in the forest. Brother Tai told her interesting stories about the forest one by one. Xiaoqing next to him would occasionally add a sentence, which made Zhao Huanxi laugh.
In this way, Zhao Huanxi spent the happiest day since he traveled through time, without busyness or worries.
When they got home, the three little girls had already started cooking dinner. Zhao Huanxi hung the mushrooms he had picked up to dry and washed the wild vegetables to make some cold dishes.
At night, Zhao Huanxi lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep. He slept so soundly during the day that he lost all his sleep at night.
I remembered the chat with Pang Hongying that day. Li Dabiao said that he had been imprisoned and the county magistrate had sentenced him to immediate execution. I guess the grass has grown on his grave now. This was a good deed that came to him, so the county magistrate generously rewarded Pang Hongying with twenty taels.
It was just that Pang Hongying was in a hurry when she went out that day and didn't bring any money with her, so she asked Zhao Huanxi to find her next time she went to the town. Zhao Huanxi agreed on the surface, but in fact she had no intention of taking the reward this time.
They were the ones who arrested Li Dabiaozi, and Pang Hongying called the constable. He didn't do anything, so of course he couldn't take the silver that didn't belong to him.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the 21st. Early in the morning, Old Mrs. Tian, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Sun, Aunt Jiang from next door, and Sister-in-law Xiang all came to help.
There was no place to stand in the kitchen, and there were some old men chatting outside.
"Uncle Gao Shun, I heard the Zhao family's daughter hired someone to repair her house. Men are paid thirty-five cents a day. The village chief was at a meeting at the big rock that day and I wasn't home. Can he still come now?"
The person who spoke was Lu Daniu, Xiang's sister-in-law's husband.
Old Master Lu looked at Lu Daniu. This young man was strong and sturdy, and he was a good worker. He also heard that the couple were honest people. Old Master Lu took a puff of his pipe and said to him:
"Okay, I'll talk to Huanxi later."
"Excuse me, is this Zhao Huanxi's home?" A pleasant male voice came from outside the door.
Everyone rushed out to check and saw a burly man who looked like a butcher driving an ox cart with a pig weighing several hundred pounds tied to the back.
Seeing that it was the butcher delivering the pig, Old Master Lu quickly invited him in, carried the pig into the yard, asked the kitchen to prepare hot water, and immediately prepared to slaughter the pig and singe its hair.
A borrowed long bench was brought over, and the butcher also took a thick wooden board from the cart and laid it on the bench. The men then worked together to put the pig onto the board, ignoring the pig's screams.
A lot of children came today, including the three children from the second son's family, Qianqian from my sister-in-law's family, and the three little grandchildren from Uncle Li Hai's family next door. Together with my own three little girls, I can really open a kindergarten.
Now a bunch of little heads were looking outside curiously, wanting to see how the adults killed the pigs. As a result, they were driven into the backyard by Zhao Huanxi, who stuffed a handful of snacks into each of their hands and told them to eat them before they could go back.
The main reason is that I am afraid that the bloody scenes will scare children. I was scared when I was a child.
Meixiang and Qianqian played well with the three girls. Zhao Huanxi took out the new silk flowers he had bought and let them choose for themselves. At first, the two were a little embarrassed, but after Zhao Huanxi persuaded them, the children each picked one, even the little boys got one.
Seeing that the few people had no intention of looking ahead for the time being, Zhao Huanxi also came out to join in the fun.
I don’t know where Old Master Lu got the large wooden bathtub that is half a person’s height from, but it is now placed next to him.
The butcher held the butcher knife, and several men held the pig tightly, not letting it move. The butcher took his time and cut down. The white knife went in, the red knife came out, and the pig screamed a few times and stopped moving.
Zhao Huanxi took out the small wooden basin that he had prepared long ago and held it to the pig's neck to collect the pig's blood. When the blood stopped flowing, Zhao Huanxi took it into the kitchen and gave it to Old Mrs. Tian.
The men outside put the pig into the prepared large wooden basin, and the women brought out basins of boiled hot water and poured them in.
The butcher took a file, shaved the pig's hair, and then moved the pig to the bench. He took out a boning knife and began to cut the meat.
The steamed buns had already been prepared in the kitchen. In the past, other families would make black flour buns, but when they saw the white flour buns prepared by Zhao Huanxi, they were a little shocked.
The pigs outside had almost been divided. Zhao Huanxi took out two strips of pork belly and fried them with potatoes to make a full pot of soup, and then added eggs to make a large pot of soup.
Zhao Huanxi had repaired the chicken coop two days ago, and the four hens moved into their new home. Every day, the three little girls would go to the wasteland they bought to pick grass and feed the hens. The old hens could lay three or four eggs every day. In just a few days, they had accumulated almost a whole drawer of eggs.
Yesterday, Zhao Huanxi took Old Lady Tian to the town again to buy a lot of vegetables and seasonings. This time, when she saw Zhao Huanxi spending money, the old lady did not stop her. Knowing that the girl had her own ideas, she just helped to bargain.
So I bought a whole cart of stuff, came back with some brown sugar, and went to the homes of a few good women, asking them to come to my house to help the next day or the day after tomorrow, otherwise I couldn't do it alone this morning.
At this time, the pork outside had been divided. Zhao Huanxi took two pounds of pork belly and gave it to the butcher, and also put a red envelope with two hundred yuan in it and stuffed it into his hand. The butcher was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
In the end, the butcher did not stay for dinner. He had to rush back to the town to look after the shop. After saying goodbye to everyone in the yard, he caught the ox cart and prepared to leave.
At this time, Old Mrs. Tian called him from the kitchen, took a few steamed buns from the steamer and stuffed them into his hands, asking him to eat them on the way. After the old lady asked him to do so, the butcher accepted them with a smile and drove away in the ox cart.
The yard was bustling with people at this moment. The tables, chairs and benches borrowed from the neighbors were filled with people sitting in the yard. Pots of hot pot and steamed buns were brought out, and everyone was drooling at the aroma.
Although life has been good in the past two years, with the court not exploiting them and the weather being good with no floods and a good harvest, no family has the luxury of eating whole white flour buns. Now that they see the Zhao family being so generous, those who helped feel that it is quite a good deal.
I don't know which man shouted;
"Happy girl! If you eat like this, you might as well empty your house!"
"Eat~ Everyone, eat more. There are plenty of white flour buns today!" Zhao Huanxi also responded with a smile.
Everyone laughed and joked. Zhao Huanxi put down the steamer and went back to the kitchen to have lunch with the women.
Finally, each man gave each of them a pound of meat before leaving, and they were all grinning from ear to ear. He told them to come early the next morning for the feast and bring along all the adults and children. Then they said goodbye and left.
The women in the kitchen still have to prepare tomorrow's dishes, steaming buns and so on, and they are very busy.
At this time, Da Sun quietly pulled Zhao Huanxi over, found a place where no one was around and took out something for her.
Zhao Huanxi took it and opened it with a confused look on his face, and found that it was a small silver hairpin.
"Auntie, what is this for? Why are you giving me this?"
"This is not given by me. Zhao'er asked me to bring it to you."
Zhao Huanxi frowned: "This is against the rules..."
"Don't think too much about it. This is what I picked out for you the other day. Zhao'er said one hide wasn't enough, so he asked me to help choose."
