Lin Xiaoman said: "Aunt Qi, I bought this pig from the countryside. It was raised with pure wild vegetable bran without any feed. It's just that it took a lot of effort to raise. That family only raised two pigs in total, so I bought it.

Take one end and keep the other end for yourself to eat during the Chinese New Year."

When I heard that I couldn't buy any more, Aunt Qi felt a little regretful, "I raised too few pigs. I'd better keep this half pig for my own family. If there are more, I still want to sell it in the villa."

Lin Xiaoman spread his hands helplessly, "We can't do it this year. If Aunt Qi wants it, I'll talk to the family next year and let them raise a few more."

Aunt Qi waved her hand, "You also mentioned how difficult it is to raise wild vegetables and bran. If we really order pigs from them, they will have to use feed, and it will be troublesome to raise them. Let's forget it."

Lin Xiaoman didn't say anything. There was no feed available for raising pigs there, but since Aunt Qi was worried about this, she stopped talking to her. At worst, she would raise them next year.

In addition to pigs, she also wants the villagers to raise more sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. Their eggs and meat taste better than here, and the price is more expensive than ordinary eggs and meat.

Anyway, she ate it. Even though the eggs here were called stupid eggs, although they were big, the taste was still a few grades behind.

Aunt Qi's farmhouse is very famous, and there is an endless stream of guests coming here every day. They often worry about not being able to get good ingredients. If she does all the breeding and planting there, it will not only help the villagers earn more money, but also

Help Aunt Qi solve the food problem.

Lin Xiaoman's family used to pickle sauerkraut, and Lin Daqiang's family also pickled several jars of it. Some people in the village learned about it and imitated it, and it was Lin Xiaoman who taught him.

After the sauerkraut is pickled, rich people will kill a pig themselves, while poor people will buy some pork bones and pork and stew sauerkraut at home every day.

Some people who don’t have pickled sauerkraut at home will come to Lin Xiaoman to buy a few and stew them.

One cabbage is not big, weighing only about one kilogram before it was pickled. When Lin Xiaoman bought vegetables, he paid two or three for one penny. Now he sells the pickled cabbage for one penny a piece. He only earns hard-earned money. The main reason is to make money.

People in the village know that sauerkraut is delicious, and they will be able to eat some fresh vegetables in winter.

From the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the aroma of stewed pickled cabbage floats in the east of the village every day. Several Lin family members in the west of the village also often eat big bones stewed pickled cabbage, which makes the exiled Xu family and relatives of the Xu family shut their doors and curse at their mothers.

.

Xu Qiuliang and several of his younger brothers who were both concubines worked together with the villagers to make kang for more than a month, earning at least one hundred cash a day. At the end of the year, the work of making kang stopped, and after they had free time, several people started a business together.

Bought half a pig.

Xu Qiuliang thought about the smell of stewed sauerkraut that floated in the village every day, so he picked up a bucket and went to Lin Xiaoman's house to buy a bucket of sauerkraut.

When he arrived at Lin Xiaoman's house, he knocked on the door. Lin Xiaoman opened the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Qiuliang standing outside with a bucket.

Xu Qiuliang said: "Miss Xiaoman, I want to buy some sauerkraut."

"Oh, let's buy sauerkraut. Come into the house, uncle. I'll take out a few for him to pick."

After saying that, Lin Xiaoman let the people into the yard.

Xu Qiuliang saw Lin Erhu squatting in the yard, taking a branch and scratching it on the snow. He walked closer and looked at the twists and turns. He couldn't understand anything. He curled his lips and said, "What the hell is this painting? The young man is looking at it."

You're so clever, your family also has a few Shuxiu, why don't you send him to study?"

Lin Erhu is practicing English vocabulary...

Lin Xiaoman wiped the snow with the sole of his shoe, erasing the English words, and smiled at Xu Qiuliang, "It's too late this year. I'm thinking of sending him to study in the next spring."

Seeing that Lin Xiaoman didn't want Lin Erhu to study, Xu Qiuliang showed a somewhat satisfied look and followed Lin Xiaoman into the house to fish for sauerkraut. After fishing for sauerkraut, he heard that his family had bought a pig, and Lin Xiaoman taught him how to deal with the pig.

He also taught them several dishes and gave him a pack of barbecue ingredients. Although Xu Qiuliang didn't say anything, he was very grateful to Lin Xiaoman.

When he went out again, he saw Lin Erhu, who was holding a tree branch in the yard and frowned again: "Don't wait for the spring to come. We are all idle for the Chinese New Year. You can let him go to my place to study with me every hour."

Lin Xiaoman looked surprised when he heard this, "Erhu, why don't you kowtow to me sir."

She heard Lin Daqiang mention that this man had been a high-ranking official in the capital. If he could be such a high-ranking official, if his family were not so powerful, then at worst he would be a Jinshi. After contacting the Xu family, she was sure that

Such a person would definitely not come from a noble family. It is thought that Xu Qiuliang's official position was obtained entirely through his own efforts.

If such a truly talented person wants to teach Erhu how to read, she would be stupid to not respond.

Lin Erhu was still waiting for Xu Qiuliang to leave so that he could continue to practice English. He was suddenly taken in as a student by Xu Qiuliang. He was stunned for a moment. He only realized when Lin Xiaoman asked him to kowtow to his teacher and kneeled respectfully in the snow.

I kowtowed to Xu Qiuliang three times.

Xu Qiuliang originally just couldn't stand Lin Erhu's blind drawing with a stick, and wanted to teach him to read a few words. Suddenly, he was kowtowed to the head. Xu Qiuliang was embarrassed to say that he didn't want to accept students, so he just nodded pretendingly.

, "Well, I must study hard in the future."

Lin Erhu happily agreed. Lin Xiaoman went into the house and took two killed chickens and a can of hot pot base. He also put a basket of Chinese cabbage and chrysanthemum in it. After thinking about it, he added another pot and bought it over there.

mutton slices, "Sir, this is the apprenticeship ceremony for Erhu in our family. The hot pot is very delicious when we go home. Shu Xiu will give it to sir when he sends Erhu over to study tomorrow."

"I'm not teaching him to read to restrict his cultivation. These are enough." Xu Qiuliang waved his hand, but his eyes lit up when he saw the extremely thinly sliced ​​mutton rolls, and he praised: "Miss Xiaoman is good at knife skills."<

/p>

Lin Xiaoman felt guilty, "Either he is good at cutting, or he just used a carpenter's plane to plan it."

"You can be so smart. Miss Xiaoman is actually smart." Xu Qiuliang suddenly felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Seeing that he was very satisfied with today's apprenticeship ceremony, Lin Xiaoman didn't say that he had to teach Shu Xiu. If he really taught Erhu how to read, it would be the same for her to send him some delicious food from time to time.<

/p>

She has discovered that Xu Qiuliang is a big foodie, so she will give him a few jars of wine during the Chinese New Year.

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Daqiang caught two big fat pigs from another village. One pig weighed at least six or seven hundred kilograms by visual inspection, and the two pigs weighed one thousand three hundred or four hundred kilograms. When weighing, he did not have a suitable scale.

Estimated price.

The bones and internal organs are removed, and the whole village eats a meal, which is then divided into the hands of each family. Each family can also get a few kilograms.

Lin Dawu led several strong men in the village to tie the pigs to the benches. Unexpectedly, the two benches were directly crushed. Fortunately, the pig blood did not flow everywhere.
