The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Firecrackers started to sound in Yangjia Village after three o'clock in the winter night. Whoever kills a pig and hangs firecrackers is indispensable, and I don't know who to pay attention to.

Those who don't kill pigs but only buy pork don't have this requirement, just follow along and watch the fun together. From the time the first pig was tied up and started killing, Yang Dongxu followed along and got busy.

Naturally, he doesn't need to be busy killing pigs. Whether it's suicide or hair removal, there are dedicated butchers. But to sell meat and sell pigs to smash, he had to play in person.

Especially the pig blood after each pig is slaughtered. My brother-in-law Liu Lihong is responsible for stirring it, and he is responsible for cutting the cold pig blood into pieces. It depends on who wants to name it directly. Generally, two or three families can make a bag. Pot of pig blood.

As for pork, although people are full of food in front of them now, their stomachs are still short of oil and water, so pork belly is more expensive than pork ribs. To be precise, ribs and everything can't be sold.

In the past few years, the big bones that cost seven or eight yuan a catty will only be given away for free at this time. Most of them are bought by someone who buys meat for a long time.

Therefore, pork belly, as well as tenderloin and meat with fat on the pig’s seat, sold faster. The butcher had just cleaned it up and hung it on the shelf. Racks of ribs and big bones.

Then there are pig offal and so on. Basically, Yang Ma and Hong Ying cleared out a pot, and the pot was gone. As for the cleaning is not very clean, it doesn't matter if it is a little dirty as long as it is not weighed down, I will definitely clean up this thing when I get home.

"Xuzi, how do you sell the pig's head?" Yang Dongxu finally took a breath in the morning after he was busy. Those who were waiting to buy meat last night, and those who rushed to buy meat in the morning have basically bought almost all of them. Now basically Just a few spiritual retail investors.

"If you pick the big one, it costs fifteen yuan each, and I won't weigh it for you." Yang Dongxu said with a smile, pointing to a big pig's head.

Pork now costs two yuan a catty. Although pig heads can’t be bought as pork, they cost around twenty catties and cost 15 yuan each. Buying them at home and tidying them up is basically not a loss and a small profit.

"That's the way to go." Rural people often sell grain, chickens and ducks, and they can basically estimate the weight of things with a glance. If they are inaccurate, they can know the weight by hand. "Are you killing sheep today?"

"Kill, but this will have to wait until someone kills in the morning. My sheep will not be sold after being killed, and I will keep them for myself." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

The family has a lot of pigs, but no sheep. So it was raised by grandparents, so Yang Ma took advantage of the butcher to kill the pig and eat it.

But their family doesn't sell it, and those who kill sheep don't necessarily keep all the meat. So if you want to buy it, you can basically wait and buy it without running to the town.

Busy and busy, he casually ate a few steamed buns that Zhuo Qing'er brought over in the morning, and the busyness didn't stop until noon. From night to morning, a total of 15 big pigs and five or six sheep were killed.

The meat is basically sold out after killing, and some even have nothing left after the pigs are put into the water. After the last pig was killed, nothing was sold.

A pig weighs about 200 catties. Although the Yang family has a lot, they can't finish it. After all, the weather will warm up after the Chinese New Year, and there is no refrigerator. But relatives give a little to each family, and basically half of the pigs will be gone, so I don’t worry if I keep them all.

"Xuzi, I brought you back the beef you asked for. Is it enough for a beef hind leg and ten catties of tenderloin?" After the meat was sold, they began to pack their things. Xiao Wu and the others followed the adults to the town to buy things and came back into the market town. .

"That's enough. It's good beef. Don't die of some kind of disease." Although pigs and sheep are slaughtered during the Chinese New Year in rural areas, cows and dogs are basically not killed.

However, if conditions permit, families will eat beef and dog meat. This needs to be bought at the place where they slaughtered these things. Yang Dongxu has been a bit greedy for sauced beef these two days, so when someone from the village went shopping in the town in the morning, he asked someone to bring some beef back.

"It must be good beef. If he dares to cheat, let's smash his stall." Da Liang chimed in beside him.

You can rest assured about this when buying things at home, as long as you have a reputation, you are not afraid of buying fakes. Otherwise, even the police station won't bother with such things as door-to-door smashing of the stall. With the current reputation of Yangjia Village, no one in Wuli Town would dare to bully people from Yangjia Village.

"When will you do your business? I will spend a little longer at home after the Chinese New Year this year. If you do it, I will press the bed for you." Yang Dongxu took out cigarettes from his pocket and gave them away.

"I haven't chosen a date yet. My sister gets married first, and then me." Da Liang said.

The sister in his mouth is not his own sister, but his cousin. Da Liang's father has three brothers, the youngest just got married and the oldest girl is less than ten years old. He is second among cousins.

"Juanzi's date has been chosen?"

"I've made the choice, after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. You should come over for a drink then." Da Liang said with a smile.

"That is necessary." Yang Dongxu also laughed, as long as he is at home, such things are obviously indispensable.

"I heard from my aunt that sister Hongying will have a wedding in the next year?" Xiao Wu asked from the side.

"Well, the man's side will set up a table on the tenth day of the lunar new year, and my house will set it up when you return to the door on the twelfth day. When will you leave, can you catch up?" Liu Lihong and his family have already discussed the wedding date by phone in the past two days.

Because everyone is busy at the end of the year, and the distance is too far. So this happened when the parents of both parties met. Although it feels a bit rushed, everyone is relaxed after the date is set.

"It's not certain whether we can go out this year, and we definitely won't leave before the fifteenth. By the way, Waizi is back. I saw him when I went to the town to go to the market today." Xiao Wu said suddenly.

"Come back when you come back, can we take care of them when they go home for the New Year?" Yang Dongxu said indifferently.

Probably because of the reason of the top three yesterday, Xiao Wu only mentioned the crooked thing. As for the past events, those who should be shot have already been shot, and Yang Dongxu is not so stingy that he wants to kill them all and keep people from entering the house.

"Have you packed your things, Xu Zi? After packing, go home and have dinner." Mama Yang shouted from a distance.

"It's packed." Yang Dongxu responded, Xiao Wu and the others hurried forward, threw the things into the basket, and helped deliver them home.

After delivering the things home, Yang Dongxu quickly smoked: "Let's stay and eat together."

"No, no, it's time to cook at home. I'll come to play with you in the afternoon." Da Liang and the others quickly waved their hands, took the cigarettes and went out.

"Why is it so expensive to buy such beef. Our family is not short of meat." Seeing a whole beef hind leg, plus a large piece of tenderloin, Mama Yang looked at her son angrily.

"Pork is pork, can it be the same as beef? My son will show you later and let you try what is called sauced beef." Yang Dongxu said with a playful smile.

"Let's be honest. By the way, what about the account books when selling meat?" Yang Dongxu is in charge of selling meat, so naturally he is also responsible for keeping accounts.

This account book is not recorded once when buying a piece of meat. No one keeps accounts like this when selling meat in rural areas. It is recorded in the account book that there is no money to pay the credit account, or I did not bring enough money and owed some and then returned it to the account book.

"Here, by the way. Two days ago, I saw that there were still a lot of uncleared books in the store in front of us?" Yang Dongxu took out the book that was rolled up in a circle from his pocket.

"If you have free time in these two days, let your dad go down to collect it. It has been owed for several years, and now no one has paid back the money." Yang Ma said angrily.

The accounts in the store's ledger are basically owed by someone on credit when the store was opened before, and the longest one is owed for four or five years and I don't know how to pay it back. Sometimes Yang's mother felt a little embarrassed that people from ten miles and eight villages knew each other. But the more you owe, the more you owe. If you don’t have money, forget it. If you have money, you don’t pay it back, which makes her a little angry.

"It's time to ask for it. If you don't have money, it's fine. If you have money, you can't justify it." Yang Dongxu nodded.

If the family is really in trouble, you can just wipe out the account and let it go, the Yang family is not short of this little money to live on. But it's a bit too much for you to go to play cards if you have money and don't pay back your bills. The only reason to prepare the account book in advance is because when he went to the granary yesterday, he saw several people who owed money and did not pay back sitting there playing cards, and the amount of money they played was not small.

"What are you talking about? How did you buy so much beef?" Father Yang came back from the outside with a smile on his face.

The last bit of pig head and so on was sold by Yang Dongxu, and he went to the pig farm to count the pigs again. What was killed today was killed today, and 20 heads will be sent to the slaughterhouse in the city tomorrow. This must be prepared in advance.

"Let me ask for the bill when you have time."

"There's no need for this. There's no time for that." Father Yang couldn't help but stiffen.

In fact, Father Yang is similar to Uncle Shengli in some ways, that is, he is poor and generous, and he has a good face. No matter who borrowed the money, even if Mama Yang talked about it, they still lent the money. But when it was time to ask for the bill, I couldn't save my face and opened my mouth.

"I have to go if I don't have time. Xuzi is at home. Let him go with Shengli to send pigs or something. You can ask me for the account tomorrow with the account book. You just lent out the hard-earned money of our family so generously." , what are you pretending to do when you ask for the bill?" Yang's mother stared at Yang's father.

"In two days, go in two days, our family is not bad for the New Year's Eve."

"Shouting, atmosphere, it's not bad, it's not bad, you're throwing all your family's money on the street. Go ask me for the account tomorrow, or don't come back if you don't come back. And whoever comes later If you borrow money, you can borrow it secretly and wait for me." Mama Yang was furious for a moment.

"Dad, I'm on Mom's side this time. Our family's money didn't come in vain. Since we are talking about borrowing money, we must have to borrow and repay it. Although our family is not short of this little money , but you can’t be fooled by others, right?”

"Isn't this a bit embarrassing for the folks in the capital?" Father Yang said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"They still have the face to play poker if they don't pay back the borrowed money. What can you say? It's still the same sentence, we are not short of that little money, but since it is said to be borrowed, we have to pay it back. If we have money to play cards, we don't pay it back. If it’s not, then why are we being taken advantage of?” Yang Dongxu also knows that his father is so good at face.

But this matter is obviously not a matter of good face or bad face, the rules are the rules. If you said it was borrowed, then it was borrowed. If you have an IOU and an account book, if you have money, don’t you return it to play cards? Are you really bullying the Yang family?

Just because the Yang family has money, you didn't pay back the money you borrowed? It doesn't make sense to search all over the world.
