"Okay, I'll give you one chance. From now on, you'll be the one fetching water, chopping wood, and fishing for the Su family. Are you willing to work hard and never complain?"
Zhang Sanzhu nodded repeatedly, "I do, I do."
"From now on, whenever there's something you need to do, you must be there immediately without delay. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I understand."
"Boss, you will be responsible for supervising him every day starting tomorrow, and you must complete these tasks before noon."
"Okay, mother."
Mrs. Song said, "Madam Su, this wild boar meat is only 20 wen per pound, which is not expensive at all. We can sell it in the county for a good price. Please ask Madam Su to have them slaughter the pig. We are looking forward to having wild boar meat for dinner tonight."
The other villagers echoed, "Yes, Madam Su."
Xiao Lingyu returned his bright smile. "Village Chief, please arrange for someone to slaughter the pig. Of course, the nine of you will help carry the wild boar down. As promised, each of you will receive ten pounds of pork. We'll keep a piece of pork for ourselves, and we'll exchange the rest for food."
Send ten kilograms?
The villagers looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. If they had known this earlier, they would have gone to help carry the wild boar.
Wu Qingshan was still terrified and quickly ordered, "Song Dazhu, Yu Tieshan, each of you kill one."
"good."
Wu Qingshan then told the others to go back to their own yards to move their things.
Mrs. Song glanced at her husband Song Dazhu, and pulled Yu Tieshan's wife away from the crowd.
Zhang Sanzhu got up from the ground covered in dust, touched his butt, and left the crowd tremblingly.
A quarter of an hour later.
A group of villagers brought two tables, pig-killing knives, bone-chopping knives, seven or eight wooden basins, scales, hot water, and a large bag of wood ash to clean up the bloodstains.
In the blink of an eye, the simple pig slaughterhouse was built.
Wu Qingshan said, "Start killing."
Song Dazhu and Yu Tieshan first wet the pig's body with hot water, scraped off the hair, wiped the pig's neck, bled it, and then gutted it...
Xiao Lingyu looked at everything in front of her in disbelief. This was the first time she had witnessed a pig being slaughtered in her two lifetimes.
Seeing this, Wu Qingshan couldn't help but think: Madam Su has definitely never seen such a pig-killing scene.
"Madam Su, they have slaughtered pigs several times before, and their skills are no worse than those of a butcher."
Xiao Lingyu laughed dryly twice, "Village Chief, after you kill the pig, please leave me two ribs, eight pig's trotters, pig's liver, and two plates of lard."
Pig head, pig offal, forget it, she won’t do it.
After the two wild boars were dealt with, Mrs. Song and Yu Tieshan's wife came from afar with no less than thirty village women carrying food and various vegetable seeds.
The villagers gathered at the scene hurriedly urged, "Song Dazhu, Yu Tieshan, hurry up and cut the meat for us first. People from our village came here first."
Xiao Lingyu looked over and saw that it was Mrs. Song who was leading the group.
"Village Chief Wu, can I exchange eggs for ten kilograms of wild boar meat?" asked a woman from the next village.
Wu Qingshan looked at Xiao Lingyu, "Madam Su, do you want to change?"
"Change."
This is a basket of eggs. The diameter of the basket is estimated to be 20 centimeters, which can last for a long time.
The woman from the next door village handed a basket of eggs to Xiao Lingyu and said, "Then cut me ten pounds of meat first."
The villagers of Guihua Village were not happy about this. "Madam Su, our villagers have been waiting for a long time."
Xiao Lingyu soothed him, "Of course, people from our village will come first. You guys line up and come one by one."
Under the guidance of Wu Qingshan, dozens of villagers lined up in a long queue.
Su Ningjie walked forward and pulled Xiao Lingyu's sleeve, "Mother, I want to be responsible for collecting money and food."
Xiao Lingyu looked down at Su Ningjie and thought about Su Ningjie's words and actions in the past two days.
"Then you come and collect the money and food. Don't make any mistakes."
"Mother, I won't make any mistakes. Father taught me how to count."
Xiao Lingyu was a little worried at first, but later found that little Su Ningjie was very talented in mental arithmetic.
Song Dazhu and Yu Tieshan were very skillful and in less than half an incense stick of time, the whole wild boar was bought and exchanged by the villagers from Guihua Village and the neighboring village.
After returning to the Su family yard, Xiao Lingyu counted the supplies. He exchanged 200 kilograms of rice, flour, and millet, 100 kilograms of soybeans, three baskets of eggs, and 40 kilograms of sugar.
One bag each of cucumber, cabbage, celery, white radish, carrot, bean seeds, eggplant, loofah and other seeds.
"Second brother, how many kilograms of wild boar meat did you sell in total?"
Su Ningjie said, "Not counting the pork ribs and pig heads, I sold a total of 150 kilograms of wild boar meat for 3,000 coins. The other two ribs and two wild boar heads sold for 300 coins each."
"Mom, all the copper coins are here." Su Ning'an put a heavy burlap bag in his arms on the table.
Then the mother and her two children gathered around a sack of money and started counting...
Su Xingyi listened to the noise outside the yard, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Big brother, second brother, come and help dad up."
Su Ning'an and Su Ningjie turned around and ran back to the room.
Xiao Lingyu paused while counting the coins. There was a sick person at home, and she was so busy that she even forgot about it.
Xiao Lingyu packed up the copper coins and returned to the room. The other two little ones held hands and followed Xiao Lingyu back to the room like little tails.
Xiao Lingyu placed a sack of copper coins on the small bed and temporarily covered it with a quilt.
"Big brother, second brother, thank you for helping your father get up. Mom will make you some braised pork ribs right now."
Su Xingyi sat in the wheelchair and said, "Tell Dad quickly, where did you go with your mother? Where did the spareribs come from?"
Su Ning'an said, "Dad, Mom went to Wufeng Mountain today. Luckily, she didn't encounter any ferocious beasts, but on her way back, she encountered four wild boars..."
Su Xingyi's eyebrows trembled when he heard this. "Luckily you're all fine. Boss, the fact that you were able to kill wild boars really shouldn't be known to too many people. You said you killed two, but where are the other two?"
