That afternoon, Gu Qingcheng went to the dilapidated temple outside the city.
In the evening, Zhao Qingyun heard a story that was comparable to a storybook:
"Mother, you said that the old beggar woke up and was grateful for your rescue, so he gave you the secret recipe passed down from his ancestors that he had hidden in the dilapidated temple?"
Zhao Qingyun just felt that this joke was inexplicably familiar.
Oh, now I remember, his father also had such an "adventure".
The two prescriptions that my mother brought to Mrs. Cui for business were the unexpected thank-you gifts my father received for saving an old Taoist priest.
My father is like this, and my mother is also like this?
Is it true that there is such a beautiful thing as "good people are rewarded" in this world?
"It's more than just gratitude! The old man also told me that he would give me the secret recipe and that I would help bury him when he died."
Gu Qingcheng corrected her son's words.
Zhao Qingyun: ...Very good, this is more in line with human nature.
The grace of saving a life is too empty and is far less real than the exchange of benefits!
"I've looked carefully. This secret recipe is a technique for slaughtering pigs."
Gu Qingcheng had long been thinking about how to help the original owner's family.
Putting aside the grace of giving birth to her, just the fact that the Butcher Gu family has always pampered and protected the original owner over the years, Gu Qingcheng should repay them well.
Furthermore, if the Gu family is doing well, it can also be more helpful to one's own family to some extent.
But the Gu family and the Zhao family are different.
The Gu family is an ancestral butcher family with strong genes, which makes Gu Qingcheng a little surprised.
Great-grandfather, the original owner had never seen him.
Since the grandfather, the Gu family has been strong, powerful as an ox, fierce and domineering.
Like a natural born butcher.
The women of the Gu family are no exception.
Although his limbs are well developed, his brain seems to be a little less sharp.
Gu the butcher’s family has been engaged in the business of slaughtering and selling pigs for generations, and they live much better off than ordinary farmers.
Therefore, starting from my great-grandfather, the elders in the family wanted their children and grandchildren to study.
The boys of the Gu family started to learn in private schools at the age of six.
One by one, they studied for two or three years but still couldn't get it.
The small pen is far less convenient to hold in your hand than a heavy butcher knife.
This has been the case for two or three generations.
The Gu family then realized: Well, their children and grandchildren (including themselves) are not cut out for studying.
I'd better continue to make a living by slaughtering pigs.
By the time of Butcher Gu, he had six sons.
The eldest son inherited his skill of butchering pigs;
The second son raises pigs;
The third son was even more brutal, and actually became an executioner in the county government office where the Gu family lived.
The fourth son also slaughtered pigs, but he set up a stall in the county town where the Zhao family lived.
The fifth and sixth sons also made a living by slaughtering and raising pigs.
Gu Qingcheng: ...This family must have had their ancestral graves dug up by pigs in their previous life, so the whole family relies on pigs to survive in this life.
Gu Qingcheng once thought that the Gu family members were physically strong and powerful, and they were good candidates for martial arts training.
It just so happened that her youngest son wanted to do business, and Gu Qingcheng successfully fooled him into saying, "If you want to do business, learn martial arts first."
Zhao Qingsong has already practiced quite well, and Gu Qingcheng is just thinking of finding a martial arts master for him.
At that time, we can select a few nephews and nieces from the Gu family and let them learn with Zhao Qingsong.
In addition, Gu Qingcheng also wanted to teach her brothers another skill - pig slaughtering.
The original owner was a butcher's daughter after all. Even though she was spoiled, she knew some skills of raising and slaughtering pigs by observing and learning from her surroundings all day long.
Through the original owner's memory, Gu Qingcheng knew that in this time and space, pigs were never castrated.
They are not fat enough, are not easy to keep in captivity, and their meat has a smell.
This problem can be solved satisfactorily by giving the pig a smack on the balls.
Pig slaughtering is also a skill.
If the Gu family masters it, it can be passed down.
Although our descendants cannot be guaranteed to be rich, they will always have enough food to eat.
To put it bluntly, pig castration is a simple surgical operation.
Coincidentally, in the previous mission world, Gu Qingcheng extracted Western medical technology from the Republic of China era.
Give the pig balls, totally ok!
Just when Gu Qingcheng was looking for a suitable "excuse", the old beggar bumped into her.
When Gu Qingcheng saw the unconscious and dying old man lying on the ground, she had a plan in her mind.
Therefore, this "secret recipe" has a reasonable origin.
"Da Lang, your grandfather and uncles all make a living by raising and slaughtering pigs. This secret recipe is very suitable for them."
Gu Qingcheng said to Zhao Qingyun in a matter-of-fact tone, "I'll just give the secret recipe to them."
If she changed her character, such as a good wife and mother, Gu Qingcheng would probably speak in a negotiating tone.
This is the sadness of being a woman in a patriarchal society——
It is clearly something that I have obtained, and I want to give it to my biological parents, but I have to consider my in-laws' family.
Because in the eyes of men, once a woman marries into her husband's family, she becomes a member of that family.
She herself belongs to her husband's family, and her money, her skills, etc. also belong to her husband's family.
If you subsidize your parents' home, you are being disloyal and not being virtuous.
Not to mention the more strict ancient times, even in later generations, a considerable number of women still could not repay their biological parents openly.
Gu Qingcheng is an ancient native, but she has not been brainwashed by patriarchal ideas. The world she lives in is a tough era where women can say "anyone can sleep with them".
However, she knew that men and women thought differently.
Especially after she got married, she assisted her husband to ascend the throne and her family became relatives by marriage.
