It's always easier to tear down a wall than to build one.

Soon the wild boar was brought down, its hooves tied, and carried onto the table on a stick.

Butcher Zheng made a rough estimate, patted the wild boar's fat belly, and said with emotion:

"It must be at least 200 pounds! It's a good pig. It feeds itself well and is quite fat."

This made Lao Futou very happy, and he allocated the future of the wild boar with a wave of his hand:

"Kill it! Leave 20 pounds of meat and a pig leg, and I'll sell the rest to you."

Butcher Zheng came here for this. Although his family also raised livestock such as pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks, there were few people in the family. If he raised too many, he would not be able to take care of them, and if he raised too few, they would not be enough to sell.

So we usually collect some from the surrounding villages, then transport them to the county and sell them to restaurants to make a profit from the difference.

Although one wild boar is a little too much, when it comes to the county, some families like to eat wild game and have no worries about not being able to sell it, so perhaps one is not enough.

Zheng the butcher was excited to get what he wanted. He responded and then quickly pulled out a shiny pig-killing knife from his waist and was eager to try it on the wild boar.

It's obvious that they are well prepared, but they have to wait until the preparations are complete before they can take action.

The wild boar on the table was lying half dead, too lazy to struggle, and looked like it was determined to die and would cooperate as soon as possible.

Fu Dabai and his brothers were busy dismantling the terrible kang in the fourth room and picking out the broken bricks so that they could rebuild it tomorrow.

The children over there were also tired of crying, and gradually quieted down, looking a little sleepy. Old Mrs. Yang put them back into their rooms one by one to sleep. Xingzi and Niu Wa from the fourth room were temporarily placed in the big room.

After taking care of the child, Old Yang hurried to boil water, looked for a basin to collect the pig's blood, prepared something to scrape the pig's hair, and then found a scale...

I was busy preparing everything I needed to prepare, and when I looked back:

"!! Why are you still here?"

Old Mrs. Yang looked in shock at A Yuan, who was hanging behind her, pulling at her skirt and following her like a little tail.

"Didn't I tuck you into bed?"

Old Mrs. Yang looked towards the main room and recalled. It seemed that she had stuffed three children on the kang in the main room!

Yuan shook his head:

"No, the ones who got into bed were Xingzi, Niuwa and Tuzi."

Old Yang had no food in her stomach and felt dizzy from all the busy work. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She simply stopped thinking and asked her:

"Why don't you go back to bed?"

Ah Yuan opened his arms and hugged Old Lady Yang's legs, looking up at her eagerly:

"I'm scared. There's pig blood everywhere and there are so many people outside."

Old Yang expressed his incomprehension:

"You weren't afraid when you were asleep, were you? Why did you come out?"

Yuan was a little shy, but confident:

"That's what I wanted to do too. I was originally planning to sleep with Xingzi and the others.

But dad said that if I was scared, I should follow grandma closely. I thought that maybe I was scared because I didn’t follow grandma closely enough!

I came out again.”

Ah Yuan pressed himself tightly against Old Lady Yang, barely mustering up a bit of courage, and said to Old Lady Yang with emotion:

“It’s so scary!

The bloody pig is grunting! "

Old Yang: ...

Yuan thought for a moment and said:

"But Fourth Auntie's screams are scarier than a pig's, howling loudly and with a twist!"

Old Yang: ...

A Yuan's big black and white eyes just kept looking at her, and his thin arms held her tightly.

She looked as if she believed in what her father said, as if Grandma Tietie could really give her courage.

Old Yang: ...

What can old Mrs. Yang do? She is just an old lady who responds to soft words and not hard ones.

She could only accept her fate and feel somewhat proud to let this clingy granddaughter continue to pull her skirt and take her wherever she went.

Fortunately, Yuan is very experienced in playing the role of the tail. He can follow closely without being in the way and does not delay Old Yang's work at all.

When the villagers had enough fun, they slowly dispersed. Aunt Shi also left before the pig was slaughtered. After all, the family had plenty of food to eat, and staying at this time would be like just trying to get some free food.

Old Mrs. Yang didn't want to keep him, so she just planned to go and deliver a piece of meat to Aunt Shi's family, Doctor Zhang's family, and Butcher Zheng's family tomorrow.

Not to mention the care you provided in the past, I should also thank you for helping out tonight.

In addition, the village chief's family usually takes good care of our family. Recently, there was the issue of that child. I have troubled them, but I still have to send some money to show my gratitude.

The situation at home is like this now, and I can’t take care of other people for the time being.

In fact, if you really think about it, many families in Daxi Village have helped the Lao Fu family. If they really want to thank them, it might not be enough even if they distribute all the pig. They can only take care of the closest families first, so that half of the remaining meat will have to be distributed.

The remaining meat was weighed and the price of pork in the county was twelve cents per pound. Butcher Zheng gave him more than one tael of silver.

In fact, the pigs in the village are usually sold or bought at the price of seven or eight cents. Zheng the butcher is already taking good care of Lao Fu's family, not to mention that he also includes the offal in the price of meat.

Of course, he will sell it to the restaurant at a higher price later. After all, it is game, and it can be sold for at least twenty cents per pound.

It seemed like they made a lot of money, but Zheng the Butcher definitely did not take advantage of the Old Fu family!

The butchers who sell meat in the county have specific circles, and residents are accustomed to buying their meat.

If Lao Fu's family transported the meat to the county to sell it themselves, they would not only be ostracized, but they might not even be able to get seven or eight cents out of it. After wasting manpower and resources, they could only sell the meat to butchers at a low price before it went bad, or take it home to eat themselves.

Even if they find a restaurant that buys the meat, these restaurants have specific people who supply the meat. In order not to offend those people and also to take advantage, the restaurant will try its best to lower the price.

In the past, Zheng the Butcher's father suffered a lot of losses from those butchers in the county, so he built up his family business bit by bit and also had regular customers.

The old Fu family was also very satisfied with the price, and both parties were happy. However, an accident occurred when handing over the money!

Just when Lao Futou took the money with a look of joy on his face, a loud “Ah~!!!” was heard in the room!

After Wang screamed, there was no more sound.

Everyone present was shocked.

Ah Yuan opened the door a little. Old Yang covered her eyes to prevent her from looking at the butcher's hands. She looked through the gaps between their fingers.

Li ran out panting and sweating and called Old Yang:

"Mom! Fourth, Fourth Brother's sister-in-law's legs are completely broken!!"
