Chapter 130 Zhang An, do you want the treasure?
This second senior brother is not only very big, but also very strong.
Even though everyone was holding it down, it was still struggling and shaking its head crazily.
The butcher held the butcher's knife and tried several times but failed to penetrate it.
Because the pig kept moving, he couldn't find the right place to cut.
“A few more people are here, Zhang An’s pig is too strong, these people will definitely not be able to hold it down.”
At first, when five or six people came up to hold it down, Zhang An I didn't plan to squeeze in there.
Because there is not much room on the edge of the stone table.
At this moment, the pig butcher saw that these five or six people couldn't hold them down at all, and he couldn't kill them.
So I can only call people to the side. Fortunately, there are many people watching the excitement today.
As soon as the pig butcher shouted, several people came up to help him.
"Zhang An, why are you still standing? Come here quickly."
Zhang An originally wanted to go, but saw a few more people going there, so he didn't go there either. .
But the butcher couldn't stand it. They all knew Zhang An's strength.
This one person can hold up to two people. Standing there and watching blindly, instead of trying to push the pig, is a waste of talent.
“I thought so many people were enough. There’s not many people standing in this big butt-sized place next to the desk.”
Zhang An was not embarrassed after being named, hehe. A smile.
Take the sleeves and apron handed over by the second aunt next to you and put them on.
Go over and hold the pig's front body, and hold the two pig ears with both hands.
With the participation of these latter people, the second senior brother on the case is really unable to move.
The pig butcher was very skilled. He used a white knife to move in and a red knife to kill the big guy with one blow.
“It seems that this year your pig is the biggest again. How many pigs do you plan to kill this year?”
Having just finished blowing the pigs, the pig butcher is now blowing his face until it turns red. , gasping for air.
While the old men in the village were shaving pig hair, the pig butcher also found a place to squat and rest.
Immediately started chatting with Zhang An.
“We can’t say for sure now. We’ll have to wait and see how many we kill.”
Anyway, it’s still early for this matter, so there’s no rush to decide now.
If I just kill it for myself and eat it for my two uncles, one head is basically enough.
Last year, Li Hongbin wanted more, so he killed two of them.
“I feel like there will be more people buying meat from your family this year than last year. I just saw your pig, and the meat is no worse than last year.”
Pig butchers often work with pigs, and they can tell the quality of the meat just by looking at the pork.
Of course they are not bad. Last year they were white pigs, but this year they are native pigs.
In terms of meat alone, this local pork is more flavorful than white pork.
After all, in terms of price, local pork is about 50 cents more expensive than white pork.
But locally, since the introduction of hybrid white pig breeds, there have been fewer people raising native pigs.
Because the introduced white pigs give birth to pigs quickly, the meat yield rate is much higher than that of native pigs.
For everyone nowadays, more than 90% of people don’t care which pork is delicious.
After all, in everyone’s lives, pork freedom has not yet been achieved.
The meat is the best if you can eat two bites of it, so there are more people raising white pigs naturally.
Local pigs, which grow slowly and have a low meat yield, are gradually abandoned by many people.
But it’s not that no one raises them, there are also some specialized families who raise their own New Year pigs.
That is to say, Zhang An's family can raise such a big pig. If it were another family, the pig would probably be only one hundred and seventy-eight.
Maybe after the meat is produced, everyone in the village will see the meat of this pig and plan to buy meat from Zhang An's house during the New Year.
Anyway, let’s see when the time comes. The meat from this local pig will definitely be more expensive than the meat at the butcher stall.
Most people in the village probably won’t consider it. At most, they just buy two kilograms and eat it home.
If someone really says hello, I will wait until there are more people to ask for it. Zhang An’s family does not specialize in selling pork.
Li Hongbin’s family hasn’t moved here yet, so everyone didn’t make noises about eating pig-killing rice at noon.
After all, the pig is being killed today for the banquet tomorrow, and everyone has been invited by Li Hongbin.
After killing the pig, I put the pork away. It will be moved early tomorrow morning, and there is not much preservation.
Li Hongbin took out 30 yuan and handed it to the butcher, treating it as the cost of killing the pig.
But the pig butcher confiscated it and said he was here to help and would not charge any money.
Their family will also come to have a dinner tomorrow, so I pushed the money back.
The next day, Li Hongbin’s family really moved here.
In the early morning, Li Hongbin drove the whole family from the town.
Their belongings have been brought over a long time ago, but no one has moved in yet.
As soon as the morning came, his relatives hung the red cloth they had sent on the door of Li Hongbin's house.
This is a local custom, which means it is auspicious.
"The day is auspicious and the heaven and earth are open. One is not early and the other is not late. It is the time for the master's family to make money..."
As soon as the auspicious time arrives, Zhang An and Li Hongbin are there Firecrackers were lit at the gate.
The elderly in their family began to sing housewarming words in the main room, which is called opening the door to wealth in the local area.
When the old man is making a fortune, the people around him should be quiet and not noisy.
Generally, the people who are invited to sing the housewarming lyrics are relatively important in the family.
Either he is senior and older, or he has made great contributions to the family.
Li Hongbin’s family invited his second uncle, who is now over eighty years old and the oldest in his family.
Under the shrine in the main room, a pair of thick candles were lit, illuminating the main room brightly.
There were many people in the village who came to join in the fun. By the time they finished singing the housewarming words in the main room, they sang for several minutes.
Everyone went in to help "burn the bottom of the pot", so that it would be considered a real move.
Li Hongbin’s family moved from one place to another, and they paid more attention to it.
When Zhang An’s family moved before, it was not so grand.
That is, it is enough for the old man to help open a fortune, and for the big guys to help cook the bottom of the pot.
Because Zhang An's family has always been in the village, they just moved from one house to another.
And Zhang An doesn’t want to cause too much trouble. Hosting a banquet is a very troublesome thing.
Zhang An people are inherently lazy, so they can save money if they can.
Today, Li Hongbin invited the only two chefs in the village, Zhang Jianzhong and Zhou Yang, to take charge of cooking.
In Changqing Village, this is the first time that people in Changqing Village have moved to invite people to have a meal.
Everyone was hesitant to give a gift. After all, they had not known Li Hongbin before.
Even though we know each other now, we are not that familiar.
And how much you should give as a gift is also something everyone considers.
But Li Hongbin also took this into consideration and simply refused to accept any gift.
Their family is not from Changqing Village, and those who joined halfway have no deep relationship with the villagers.
So I just wanted to take this opportunity to let my parents get acquainted with everyone.
This way, if his parents are in the village, he will get along with everyone in the future. After all, he is a soft-spoken person.
This can make everyone feel proud. This banquet will bring a lot of money.
At noon, when the dishes in the kitchen were ready, the village began to notify people to come for dinner. Li Hongbin did not arrange particularly sumptuous dishes, but served them according to local recipes.
However, there are more meat dishes on the table, so that everyone can eat comfortably.
No one else was invited this time, only people from the village were invited to eat.
There are only a dozen tables in total, and more than a hundred people eat.
Most people go to one or two places per family and are too embarrassed to go more.
The main reason is that Li Hongbin’s family didn’t receive any gifts. If he brought his family along with him, it would look too ugly and make people laugh.
Anyone who has had a banquet in the countryside knows that many families give a gift, and there are often seven or eight people in the family eating together.
After Li Hongbin’s family moved, the small mountain village returned to its former peace.
"Zhang An, if you want a baby or not, I will send one to you right away."
Zhang An just got up and was brushing his teeth in the yard when he saw Huang who had returned from the mountain. The second master.
Hearing what Mr. Huang said, Zhang An also wanted to laugh.
"Second Master, why don't you ask me if I want a wife?"
Have you ever seen that TV series before, Second Master Huang was quite stunned when he heard Zhang An speak like this.
"You want a daughter-in-law. I have a niece. Her girl is eighteen or nineteen years old this year. She is very suitable for you. If you have any ideas, I can come to your home and help you."
Pfft~
Zhang An was just talking nonsense, but Mr. Huang took it seriously.
A mouthful of white foam spurted directly from Zhang An's mouth.
"Second Master, I'm just kidding, what kind of treasure did you just say?"
Zhang An quickly stopped the topic. The daughter of his cousin's niece, Zhang An I really remember.
In later generations, the old man said that he gave it to a young man in the village.
Zhang An seemed to remember that the man in the village was named Wang Dequan.
That girl is actually pretty good-looking, not pretty but not ugly either. Anyway, she is average in all aspects and she is hard-working.
However, this alone cannot make Zhang An remember it so clearly.
Mainly because this girl and Wang Dequan from the village gave birth to three eldest children. This was the first set of triplets in Changqing Village in many years, and they were all sons.
So their family became the first in the village to give birth to three sons without being fined.
Needless to say Zhang An, everyone knows how things will develop next.
The three eldest children will grow up, get married and start a family, which will directly make these two families miserable.
And this girl is a typical hot girl from Hedong Lion. She has a very fierce temper and can hit people very hard.
When he first got married, Wang Dequan would occasionally drink and play cards with everyone.
But later the villagers discovered that Wang Dequan rarely came out to drink and play cards.
It turns out that I was trained by my mother-in-law to be obedient. How dare I go out to fool around? I can only be obedient at home.
Although Zhang An was not worried about not being able to beat her, he still had to forget about such a temper.
So when Zhang An heard Huang Er mentioned this matter, he decisively skipped the topic and let Wang Dequan continue to suffer.
After listening to Zhang An's question, Mr. Huang took something out from behind.
"Here, this is it. I know you like to keep these messy things, so I brought one for you today."
Zhang An didn't see it clearly at first, thinking it was a pheasant on the mountain. Something like that.
Taking a closer look, my dear, this is not a pheasant. This is the night war god.
"Second Master, why do you always bring a night owl back?"
Zhang An had a bit of a dumbfounding look on his face. The night owl's nickname is Owl.
This thing's combat power is very strong at night, even if it is blind during the day (it is indeed blind).
But during the day, the defense is fully stretched, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and it explodes violently at night.
Even the flower head at home is no match for it at night.
And this thing holds a grudge. If you bullied it during the day, it will definitely come to you at night.
Zhang An has seen it in later generations. During the day, this thing was only bullied a few times by kites.
In the end, at night, this guy went over and wiped out the entire family of the kite that bullied it.
“I went to the mountains yesterday to set a trap to see if I could get something back. I waited for the Chinese New Year, but I didn’t expect anything. I found out that this guy had gone to my network.”< br>
Mr. Huang was also quite helpless. He just wanted to get some prey, but who knew he would end up with this thing.
“I was thinking that you liked these messy things, so I didn’t let them go and brought them back.”
Now Zhang An couldn’t even think about accepting them, Huang The second master brought it back.
If you put it back, this guy will definitely come looking for it at night.
Unless it is to be killed, but it is fine, Huang Erye and Zhang An will not commit any crime.
"Okay, then I thank you, I will accept it."
Zhang An took the night owl from Mr. Huang, and it didn't feel very big when he held it.
This little guy still has some fur on his body. Zhang An estimates that he is not yet an adult.
It is not scary, what is scary is its father and mother.
“By the way, take these eggs.”
Mr. Huang took out four or five eggs from the bamboo basket in his hand and handed them to Zhang An.
This egg is relatively small, a little gray and white, with some brown spots on it. It is much smaller than the local eggs at home.
"Second Master, don't you know that my family sells eggs? You can take these back and fry them yourself."
Zhang An thought they were wild eggs from the mountains. Eggless.
"Just take it if I ask you to. This is a golden egg. If it were a wild egg, I wouldn't be too lazy to give it to you."
When Zhang An heard that it was a golden egg, he immediately took it seriously. Get up.
Zhang An has been looking for this thing in the mountains this year, but he hasn't come across it.
Unexpectedly, Huang Erye took out the chicken coop.
The golden pheasant is what Zhang An and his friends call here. It is the red-bellied golden pheasant in later generations.
Although the whole golden rooster has grown up, it can be more than one meter from head to tail.
But its body is really not that big, it is very small.
Most of the length is its tail, which is particularly beautiful.
Although there are Zhang An and others in the mountains, the number of golden roosters is particularly small compared to the silver roosters.
The ecology in the mountains is still so good now, but I haven’t seen much of it, and it will be even harder to see in the future.
I have seen Zhang An several times since I was a child.
If the silver rooster looks very good-looking, it looks like a phoenix, but the white feathers are just weird.
But this golden rooster is different. This thing really looks like a phoenix.
It is the species closest to the Phoenix in nature.
"Second Master, are you sure it's a golden rooster?"
Zhang An took the eggs and asked Second Master Huang in disbelief.
"Don't worry, these are the golden rooster's eggs. I saw the golden rooster flying out of the nest with my own eyes. There were a few males hanging around under the tree at that time. They were still warm when I took them out, so they must have been freshly laid. "
Huang Erye heard that Zhang An didn't believe it and rolled his eyes. His old man needed to cut someone.
"I know you like these weird things, so I took them back and you can hatch them yourself. They should be able to hatch. There are too few golden roosters in our old mountains and forests. I I didn’t even think about roping them, just to gain some virtue for my old man.”
Huang Erye is a seasoned expert, even though he usually sets up this and that in the mountains.
But most of them are trapped because there are a lot of wild animals in the local area.
If there are really few animals, Mr. Huang will not do anything to them. Instead, he will give them some food when he sees them. He will help those who need help.
