Chapter 8： meat

Chapter 8

Ayu's milky voice made the whole room red-eyed. Several brothers could not listen.

"Sister Ayu, in the future, the second brother will make money for you and let you eat buns every day, buns with big meat stuffing!"

"Yes, yes, there are still unfinished eggs, buy a lot of eggs to keep at home, and spread pancakes for you every day!"

"Steamed buns are also good, but they must be white-flour buns. I heard that white-flour buns are the best. They are very sweet, even sweeter than sugar water!"

A few of the live treasure brothers said one sentence each, and Xiao Ayu said it in a daze, her small eyes widened, and she quietly clenched her little fingers, keeping all these in her heart.

But in fact, Xiao Ayu is still a little puzzled.

She seemed to have heard someone say that the best thing to eat is not white flour steamed buns, nor big meat stuffed buns.

what is it then?

Ah, she can't remember.

Anyway, just remember what your brothers said in the future.

The little hand tapped on the head, Xiao Ayu didn't think about it anymore, turned her head and fell into A Niang's arms again.

I moved over carefully, and found that A-Niang didn't push her away, nor did she cough so much, so she got closer.

A-Niang seems to have changed a bit, but she hasn't seen A-Niang for a long time, she doesn't smell of medicine, is it alright?

"When A-Niang gets better, A-Niang's body will be fragrant. When that time comes, A-Niang will hug you again, A-Yu can't cry, be good-" Someone once said this to her while coughing.

That voice is getting farther and farther, and it is getting more and more blurred...

Liu felt the child's closeness, and her heart that was already full, suddenly softened, and hurriedly hugged her tighter.

"Auntie." Little Ayu raised her head and shouted timidly.

Liu: "Well, what's wrong?"

"Auntie." Xiao Ayu shouted again.

Liu Shi still smiled and replied softly, "Well, A-Niang is here."

Xiao Ayu stretched out her hand, hugged her slightly bent neck, and used force.

buried his head in it and said happily, "Ayu, I found you!"

Liu Shi was stunned for a while, not knowing what to think, and then replied to her with a louder voice: "Yeah! A-Niang has also found my Ayu, and we will never be separated again in the future."

Several daughters-in-law turned their heads and rubbed their eyes.

Little Zhang sighed: "It's also a poor child."

Mrs. Wang tapped the spatula in her hand on the side of the pot, making a dull sound of "Bang Bang Bang".

"Hurry up and get some food! I still need my mother to serve you!"

As he was talking, there was another noise outside, but it was the village elder and the village chief who came.

Mrs. Hu couldn't stand the excitement, so he asked the two descendants to call the village chief and the others, and sat in the main room by himself.

Those who come here are all people who can talk to the village, and the others haven't called yet. How to deal with so many giant pythons must be discussed in advance.

Mrs. Hu is the only scholar in the village with a reputation. In addition, Hu is the biggest surname in the Hujia Village, so he is naturally very respected.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Mrs. Hu, who was sitting on the throne, cleared his throat and said, "It stands to reason that I am only the patriarch of the Hu family, and I shouldn't sit on your throne. Today, I am shameless. Take a seat."

Old Wangtou sat next to him and said hurriedly: "No, no, we came to Hujia Village, and you helped a lot. Cough, I can't speak either, or we can talk about how to divide it."

The people in the village are not so particular, and Mrs. Hu also shouted at those who didn't like it.

When we talk on weekdays, we basically don’t need to use honorific names, so as not to feel uncomfortable in our mouths and uncomfortable in our ears when we hear them.

"Okay, the big guys are here today, and you probably know what's going on. It's the little granddaughter of the old Wang family, ah, call, call..."

Lao Wangtou added: "Ayu, the baby's name is Ayu."

"Yes, Ayu, this doll is very lucky!" Mrs. Hu said with emotion, and then added, "You have seen all the things in the yard, I'm afraid it is not one thousand but eight hundred catties, according to Wangzi's meaning, They keep 300 catties for themselves, I mean, keep 400 catties for them, and the rest, each family will share a catty first, and then see which one lacks ruthlessly, and give more."

Several clan elders nodded, and one of them said: "Our family is better off in the village. If you like to eat this meat, you can discuss with the villagers and exchange a kilogram of meat for a few kilograms of grain. This meat is not for cravings. It's a life saver!"

Another clan elder leaned on the crutches and stomped on the ground before saying, "You all need to remember that no matter how this meat came from, it didn't fall from the sky, it was given by the old king's family. Remember the kindness of others, if any of them are too few, or jealous of others, we old guys have not yet entered the soil, we can still do it by a few people!"

If these words are ruthless before they are said, and if something really happens later, then it is their fault.

You can't let people cut the meat and cause a fishy mess.

The other young people also nodded, everything was clear, and they didn't think there was anything wrong.

The python meat is very filling, and after a bite, the body can be warmed a lot.

If there are frail people at home, they can also use snake soup to raise them, and maybe they will survive this winter.

Lao Wang's head was calm, his hands were already shaking under the table.

He has an honest temperament, and he has been strict all these years, just to support a family and stand up in a daze.

A lot of important events are still supported by Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang didn't want to come forward today, he could only be alone.

He was very scared, for fear that everyone would ask their family to keep only a little bit, and also fear that the initiative to divide the meat would bring disaster to the family.

Believing in the villagers is one thing, but actually facing it is another.

What if?

How can human nature stand the test!

Soon, everyone discussed the specific regulations. The entire village is not particularly large, and the population is not too large. They all know the situation of each household.

The next step is to notify each household to come and get the meat.

The sun has not yet dissipated outside. I heard that he can pick up meat. No matter how lazy a man is, he will be kicked out by the old lady.

"Go and get it! One bite can be eaten by one person for a few days. Your mother still wants to celebrate the New Year!"

The big guy was moved when he heard that the meat was sent by the Lao Wang family. The Lao Wang family is the poorest in their village.

actually still remember their kindness, not own it.

There were also people who only shared a pound of meat and felt dissatisfied: "No matter how large the population of Lao Wang's family is, do they need 400 jin? Our family only has one jin, but they have 400 jin..."

Before he finished speaking, he was punched by the person next to him: "Fuck you, say another word, you will also take this from your family! What are you looking at, you are not satisfied? Then do you want me to ask for you, old man and the others. How to say?"

The supervisor in charge heard it and said directly: "The elders of the clan have already agreed, whoever feels unconvinced, leave the meat and leave the clan!"

Being kicked out of the clan for ordering meat, how can you live?

Now, a small number of those who have opinions have also been suppressed.

We have never seen such a big guy before, he is a fat pig, and he is already fat and strong.

They estimated that the python weighed more than 1,000 kilograms. As a result, everyone cut and weighed it in batches, but the total weight was unexpected!

There are not many literate people in the village, and not many people who can do arithmetic. It is still calculated by Mrs. Hu.

After the calculation, Mrs. Hu sucked in a breath of cold air: "Not counting anything else, the bare flesh is three thousand six hundred and eighty-six pounds and seventy-two dollars!"

Someone said: "Hey - I'm afraid I've become a snake fairy?"

Someone gritted their teeth and said, "People are so hungry that they become immortals, and they are afraid of eating snake immortals? Anyway, I am not afraid, I can eat two more bites!"

If I were to starve for a few more days, the Lao Wang family would never dare to take it out. When everyone saw the food, they were afraid they would be robbed!

More than 3,000 catties of meat, Lao Wang's family kept 400 catties, each family first shared a catty, and then gave a few more catties to those who were especially short.

As a result, there are still more than 1,000 kilograms left. All that is divided out is pure meat, and the rest is flesh with bones.

Mrs. Hu directly added another ten kilograms to each family.

When the meat is divided equally, it is divided according to one household, no matter how many people are in that household.

So the least family has 11 catties of meat, and they dare not buy so much during the Chinese New Year. This is really no one complaining.

The meat picked up by Bai, who is not rare?

The skin of the giant python was peeled off, and the blood on the belt weighed 50 pounds.

There are not many internal organs, adding up to more than 30 pounds, but the snake gallbladder is terrifyingly large, weighing more than 10 pounds.

Snake skin and snake gallbladder were bought by Dr. Hu's family from Lao Wang's family.

gave them twenty taels of silver.

These two are good things, and the python gallbladder is even better. The price of 20 taels of silver is actually quite low.

But no matter how much, Dr. Hu's family can't afford it.

Lao Wang's family doesn't know how to get it, and it doesn't feel bad if it is sold.

just said: "When Doctor Hu comes back, let him show us Ayu's body."

This article is all set up in the air, unified weights and measures:

1 catties = 10 taels

1 Zhang = 3 meters

1 stone = 150 pounds

1 penny ≈ RMB one yuan (prices are set in the text)
