"Wife, the water in the iron pot is boiling. It's time to put the dumplings in."
"Okay, boss, you light the fire and I'll make the dumplings."
"Then go ahead, wife."
Zhang washed her hands and brought the curtain over.
Butcher Yun lifted the lid of the pot and put it aside.
Zhang put all the plump white dumplings into the pot.
Then, Zhang covered the pot.
After a while, when the water in the pot boiled, she added half a bucket of cold water into the pot.
After a while, the water in the pot boiled again. All the dumplings floated to the surface, each one looking like it had been inflated, becoming plump and white.
Zhang added half a bucket of cold water into the pot.
This time, after the water in the pot boiled, Zhang started to scoop out the dumplings.
By the time she had scooped out all the dumplings, it was time to eat.
Butcher Yun woke up the children and asked them to wash their hands and eat.
Yun Yiyi was eating dumplings with chopsticks in her hand, her head still nodding. It was obvious that she hadn't woken up yet.
Zhang looked over and said, "Yiyi, eat quickly, then go to the dumplings."
Yun Yiyi raised her head and said, "I understand, mother."
The children were all tired today. They quietly ate their dumplings, washed up, and went to bed.
After the meal, Zhang was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks.
Butcher Yun said, "Wife, I'm going to ask the Wu family next door. Let's start smoking the meat after they have changed the meat."
"Okay. Boss, then you go quietly."
Butcher Yun quietly came to the Wu family next door. He found that they had just finished their meal and were chatting together.
As soon as Butcher Yun came over, Old Man Wu saw him and said, "Brother Yun, come over and chat."
Butcher Yun waved his hand and said, "Brother Wu, come here for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
After hearing this, Old Man Wu and Butcher Yun went straight to the woods outside.
"What's the matter, Brother Yun, do you have something to discuss with me?"
"Brother Wu, my family was lucky enough to catch a little wild boar in the mountains today. It wasn't very big, only about a hundred pounds."
When Old Man Wu heard this, he quickly lowered his voice and asked, "Did you really catch a wild boar? Where did you catch it? I've been walking around the nearby mountains every day recently, and I haven't found any traces of wild boar."
"Brother Wu, we found it on a mountain far away. That is to say, we walked a little further today, so we were lucky enough to find the wild boar."
"By the way, I came here to ask, do you want to exchange some fresh wild boar meat for yours?"
"I thought the wild boar wasn't very big, and after removing the skin and bones, there wouldn't be much meat left, so I decided to keep it for my family."
"Well, our two houses are close, so I came to ask if you'd like to exchange some meat for us to take back home. Fresh meat is hard to come by, after all."
Old Man Wu patted Butcher Yun's shoulder heavily and said, "Brother Yun, it's really me who thought of such a good thing."
"But I don't know what kind of meat to replace it with, after all, I don't cook. How about I ask your sister-in-law to come over and you two can talk?"
Butcher Yun nodded readily, "Okay, Brother Wu, I'll wait for you here."
Old Man Wu went back happily and pulled his wife aside.
"The Yun family next door hunted a wild boar in the mountains today. Brother Yun came to ask me if I wanted to buy some wild boar meat."
"Old woman, what do you think? How much meat should we buy? What kind of meat should we buy?"
The old woman lowered her voice happily, "The Yun family next door is really willing to sell some meat to our family?"
Old Man Wu nodded. "That's definitely true. But I don't know what kind of meat to buy."
The old woman smiled broadly. "It's okay. I'll go talk to Brother Yun and see how much meat he plans to sell us. I guess they didn't plan to sell the meat to outsiders."
"Okay, let's go together. I don't usually cook, so I really don't know how much meat to buy."
The old woman was in a good mood and ignored Old Man Wu. If it were any other time, she would definitely have said something to Old Man Wu. The rice was cooked by herself, how could it have been cooked without someone else?
"Brother Yun, how much do you plan to sell your wild boar meat for?"
"Sister-in-law, since we're not surrounded by outsiders, I'll tell you the truth. My family just got two new cars, so I wanted to trade meat for some furs."
"That way, when it gets cold, we can spread the furs inside the carriage and keep it warm."
"Actually, if it were Master Guang, we really wouldn't have to be so particular. But we have a few children, so we need to be more particular."
Upon hearing what Yun the Butcher said, Old Man Wu and the old woman looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
We have no shortage of furs, so exchanging them for meat is perfect. If the Yun family requires food and money, we probably won't be able to exchange much.
There are many children in the family, so no matter how much food is prepared, it is never too much.
Butcher Yun whispered, "No problem, Brother Yun. How many furs do you want?"
Butcher Yun thought for a moment and said, "Brother Wu, I don't need much. I just need to fill the bottoms of my three carriages."
"I don't require any specific type of fur. As long as it's clean and can be used directly, it's fine."
As soon as Butcher Yun and the old lady heard this, they knew what was going on. They also knew how big the carriages of the Yun family's three carriages were.
"Brother Yun, how about this? I'll give you four sheepskins and sixty rabbit skins. Of course, the rabbit skins will be from big rabbits."
"The sheepskin is from the big sheep in the mountains. Add it all together, it's definitely enough for you to cover the carriage."
"When the time comes, you can ask your sister-in-law to sew the rabbit skins together. You can also just use it as a blanket. There will be a blanket on top anyway."
Butcher Yun listened to Old Man Wu's words and thought for a moment. Sheepskin and rabbit skin were both quite affordable and suitable for his own use.
Besides, it is exchanged for wild boar meat, so you don’t have to spend money to buy it. Generally speaking, this exchange method is suitable for everyone.
"Sure, Brother Wu. But how many pounds of meat does your family want?"
"Brother Yun, since you've come to me to trade, you must know my character. I won't take advantage of you. Of course, I also know that meat is very expensive out there right now."
"However, even though the price of fur hasn't increased much, it's still hard to buy. Especially since you want so much at once."
"Brother Wu, since I've come to you, I'm not afraid that you'll cheat me. Given your character, you definitely won't take advantage of me."
Old Man Wu and the old woman were delighted to hear Yun the Butcher's words. Yun the Butcher's words were frank and beautiful. Furthermore, Yun the Butcher was a man of integrity and righteousness, someone they could trust.
Old Man Wu held up three fingers and said, "Brother Yun, I'll trade these furs for thirty pounds of meat. What do you think?"
