Since both the master and Chen Dazhuang said so, Chen Wang stopped being pretentious.
"Then come to my place for lunch tomorrow at noon, and you can come too, sister-in-law."
"OK."
Yan Yulan on the side nodded with a bright smile and agreed.
“Tow it back with my bike!”
Chen Dazhuang pointed to the bicycle by the wall.
"Um!"
Chen Wang responded.
Afterwards, Chen Dazhuang and his master helped tie the three sheep to the bicycle.
Two ends were tied together on the back seat, and one end was tied to the front bar.
"Then I'll go back first."
"Slower!"
"Okay!"
Chen Wang smiled, pushed the bicycle out the door, then sat on it and rode home.
The little monkey Jixiang sat on his shoulder, and the three dogs Ruyi, Dahei and Dahu ran behind him.
Along the way, the villagers looked at the three sheep tied to his car with shock and envy.
Some people also asked directly whether he wanted to sell the meat, but Chen Wang refused, saying that he would cook it for the workers tomorrow and there would be no left.
The news that he hired people to help grow medicinal herbs has spread throughout the village, and the treatment he received has made everyone envious.
Some people even complained behind Chen Wang's back, asking why he didn't invite people from his own village but gave the people from the neighboring village a break.
Now that they knew he was going to treat the workers to a feast of meat, several villagers became jealous.
"Awang, if you need help from now on, just look for people from our own village!"
"That's right, we will definitely do it beautifully for you."
"I'm free right now. Awang, do you still need someone?"
Several villagers were talking to each other.
"It's not that I don't want to look for someone. Everyone in the village has been busy these days. I went to the next village because I couldn't find anyone before. Now we are not short of people. Next time, next time for sure."
Chen Wang smiled and made an excuse without slowing down his bicycle.
As they watched him riding away on his bike, the tone of voice of several villagers changed a little.
"Why does it seem so easy for him to hunt? Prey is so easy to find in the mountains. How many sheep can he kill at a time?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Last time I went into the mountains with a hunting rifle and spent two days hunting. I only shot a pheasant. I didn't see a single hair of a sheep or pig."
"Then how come they always have such big harvests? Each of them got three, so doesn't that mean they killed five or six sheep?"
"Who knows? I don't understand it anyway."
"Haven't you heard that some people say that after Awang became enlightened, he was protected by the mountain god and his luck in hunting in the mountains is much better than that of ordinary people."
"Alas, they can't even finish eating all the meat, so they give it to the workers. We can't bear to buy some meat even if we want to. It's really frustrating to compare ourselves with others!"
…
"I'm back."
Chen Wang pushed his bicycle into the yard and shouted.
Lin Xiuqin, holding the little one, walked out of the house with the little girl. They were stunned when they saw the three sheep in the car.
"Wow, brother, you got so much meat again, that's amazing!"
The little girl flattered him excitedly.
Lin Xiuqin also had smiling eyes, and looked at Chen Wang with eyes full of admiration and love, which could satisfy the man's sense of accomplishment.
"Luckily, we ran into a herd of wild goats and killed a few of them."
Chen Wang said nonchalantly, after parking the bicycle, he smiled and said to the little girl, "Come and help."
“Here I come!”
The little girl came running over, blinking her big eyes and said, "I can't carry such a big sheep!"
"You don't have to move it. Just take this into the room."
Chen Wang took off the medicine basket he was carrying, put the hunting rifle upright in it and handed it to her.
"Okay!"
The little girl agreed obediently, hugged the medicine basket with both hands and turned to walk into the house.
Chen Wang untied the rope that tied the mutton, carried the three sheep back and forth three times, and placed them on the table in the kitchen, and covered them with a clean cloth.
He turned his head to look at his wife standing at the kitchen door and said, "I will stew half a lamb for lunch tomorrow so that the workers can have a good meal. Dazhuang and his friends will also come."
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded.
"Brother, what about today?"
A little head poked in through the door, and the little girl looked at him with a smile.
Chen Wang rolled his eyes in amusement and said, "Then I'll make braised lamb. Using this lamb, the meat will be more tender and it will definitely taste good."
"Ohhh... Long live my brother!"
The little girl raised her arms and cheered.
Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin smiled at each other.
“Ahhhhhh—”
The little guy was also dancing and laughing happily.
"Okay, wife, Xiaoyu, go to the room, I'll cook."
Chen Wang smiled and waved his hand.
…
…
The next morning.
Chen Wang rode his bicycle to the town.
There is no shortage of meat at home, but there is not much oil, salt, seasonings, etc. I also need to buy some flour and noodles, and also some vegetables that we don’t have at home.
Chen Wang pushed his bicycle and quickly searched for what he needed.
After buying it, he had to hurry back to prepare lunch.
He put the vegetables he had just bought into the medicine basket he was carrying, and a stall not far ahead surrounded by a lot of people caught his attention.
"Boss, what are you buying?"
Chen Wang pointed at the stall and asked.
The boss sitting behind the stall took a look and replied with a smile: "They are selling piglets."
"Piggy?"
Chen Wang was slightly startled, then his face lit up with joy and he pushed the cart and walked over quickly.
When I got closer, I saw an old man sitting behind the stall, bargaining with several people around him.
There were several large cardboard boxes on the stall in front of him, with a few chubby little piglets inside.
"20? Boss, you really know how to price. How much pork can I buy with 20? How much does your piglet weigh?"
A woman said with an unhappy look on her face.
"How can it be the same? I am raising these piglets myself. If my family wasn't short of money, I wouldn't sell them. 20 yuan a piece is cheap. You can take it or not."
"Hey...how can you do business like this?"
"If you like it, buy it. If you think it's expensive, don't buy it. Stop arguing here."
"you--"
The woman was so angry that she shouted to the people around her: "Look at this guy's attitude. He's selling piglets at such a high price. Don't buy his piglets."
The onlookers were talking about it and felt that the old man selling the piglets was difficult to talk to.
"Boss, 20 per pig is indeed a bit expensive. It's not easy to raise pigs these days. In some places, people don't even want piglets when they are given away!"
"Yes, I worked so hard to raise a pig last year, but the annual pig only cost 0.6 yuan per pound. It's not worth it at all."
"Boss, give it a bit cheaper and I'll buy one!"
"That's not how business is done. You have to give people a chance to bargain!"
“…”
"I told you, it's only 20 each, if no one buys it I'll take it back."
The old man spoke indifferently, with an attitude that was unyielding.
"Please make way. Please make way."
At this time, Chen Wang pushed away the people blocking the way in front of him, squeezed in front of the stall and squatted down.
