Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

"Meat?" Li Maoshan was puzzled, "What's wrong with this meat? But is it spoiled?"

I just opened the meal, and I only picked up a chopstick for my goddaughter, and I haven't tasted it yet, so my daughter vomited.

Li Maoshan couldn't help picking up a piece of meat and putting it in his mouth, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, if someone sent meat to thank him, it wouldn't be bad, right?He decided to try it himself.

Then Yu Su saw that her godfather was not blushing or out of breath, and put a big piece of fat meat into his mouth with a normal expression, chewed it, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and looked back at himself Look puzzled.

"Baby, is this meat not bad? It still smells the same, so there's nothing wrong with it?"

Yu Su: Huh?

"No, godfather, haven't you tasted it, this meat is so fishy, ​​smelly and unpalatable?"

Li Maoshan tilted his head in confusion, "The smell is unpalatable?"

Yu Su: "Yes!"

Could it be that there is something wrong with his mouth?

Yu Sucai doubted herself, and saw her godfather laughed hahaha, "Silly girl, this is what meat tastes like."

The wolves who were also subconsciously eating the meat subconsciously, after eating the meat in their mouths, nodded in agreement with their own father's words, looking at themselves with puzzled expressions.

Yu Su?

"No, godfather, meat doesn't taste like this. Obviously, I ate a lot of meat before. I bought big meat buns and went to restaurants. The meat inside didn't taste like this. Really, those meats didn't taste like that at all. With such a strong stench, the meat must be spoiled!!!”

What Yu Su said was serious. After listening to Yu Su's words, Li Maoshan thought about it, and when he turned his head, he probably knew where the problem came from.

Li Maoshan laughed and explained.

"Treasure, the meat in those restaurants and shops must be the kind of pork that has not been bred from the pork shop for good taste and good business, and it must have been processed beforehand when it is made, and it must be sold again. I added a lot of seasoning to remove the taste of the meat, so you little guy with a good tongue can't taste the smell of meat, and now our meat..."

He raised his hand and ordered some of Bai Shengsheng's boiled meat that didn't even have any soy sauce on the table, and continued.

"We farmers are reluctant to eat oil and salt on weekdays. It is rare to have meat, so we must buy it at a low price. When buyers come, the craftsmanship itself is limited, and it is impossible to have any good seasonings at home. Cook it with plain water. Cooking and adding some salt are extremely extravagant, not to mention buying star anise and cinnamon, many people are afraid that they can’t afford soy sauce and vinegar, let alone pickling and removing fishy smell..."

If you have that spare money, saving it to tear up some cloth for the children, or buying some salt to bring home, wouldn’t it be more cost-effective than buying these seasonings?
As for the fact that there may be cinnamon, star anise, and eucalyptus trees in the mountains, they often go to the mountains, but few people know about them.

As the head of the patriarch, Li Maoshan's eyes drooped unconsciously when he thought of these things and the hard times in the village, feeling self-sufficient.

"Hey! If it wasn't for Deguabao, you taught everyone to read, read, and make plans. These good young people in the stockade would not be able to make any progress. They would be useless, and everyone would not be able to send these things to their families... Right now. A bowl of meat, if I’m not wrong, Er Mingzi must have bought the cheapest pork that has been bred. It’s normal for this meat to have this taste, Bao. I will go to the town and buy you good meat to eat. We will not eat this meat today.

The child is not used to eating, but you can't force the child to eat, Er Mingzi and the others will let the child take it, Li Maoshan thought so.

Yu Su listened to her godfather explaining this great thing, she shook her head and nodded again, as if she understood, but also didn't seem to understand, what Yu Su cared more about was a word that godfather mentioned repeatedly just now.

"Godfather, what is breeding?"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Maoshan was choked instantly.

This question, seeing the child's eyes of seeking knowledge, Li Maoshan...

How can he explain this?

Long Mingxing, who was beside her, couldn't help laughing at her husband whose neck was red from his daughter's choking.

As a result, as soon as she made a sound, she immediately attracted the little guy's attention. Well, the daughter stopped asking about her husband, and looked at herself curiously, "Godmother?"

Who can stand those little eyes?
Long Mingxing also choked, and some didn't know where to start. It was Shiro, the fiercest person around, seeing his sister's question, and his parents couldn't answer it. (Sorry son, they couldn't answer it.) Is it? That is impossible to answer.)
Shiro raised his neck and said with a hey smile: "I know this, I know, breeding is pigs fighting, just like chickens fighting, they will have babies after the fight...", Barabara...

Well, so to speak, Yu Su understands, feelings are, ahem, what about mating.

If it's just mating...

Yu Su suddenly thought of something, she hurriedly looked at her godfather and mother and asked uncertainly, "Godfather, godmother, don't everyone raise pigs that are dirty?"

"Knock? How? Do pigs still want to knock?"

Both husband and wife were puzzled.

Seeing the expressions of the couple, Yu Su understood everything.

It's also because the meat she ate tasted good. She never knew that at this time, the pigs were sold as pigs that had been bred, and pigs that hadn't been bred. Let yourself into the kitchen, the meat is delicious.

Yu Su didn't even know that the delicious meat he ate before was actually the meat processed by the owner of the shop, so the taste was not so strong, and he didn't taste anything wrong. At home, the meat eaten is either smoked bacon from domestic butchered pigs, or the meat of wild rabbits or something.

Ugh!
Now that I look at it this way, I'm still ignorant, so I didn't talk about it before, but now, Yu Su feels that it is very necessary for him to tell his godfather and mother about this pig.

"Godfather, godmother, let me tell you, this pig is actually a pig..."

Yu Su tried his best to retell what he knew about pigs to the couple, and he explained it in detail, down to the big men among the seven wolves. After hearing Yu Su's detailed description, he couldn't help but tense up. Buttocks, with a look of being afraid of Yu Su, a younger sister.

But Yu Su didn't realize it at all. In the end, she tried her best to make sure.

"I saw this method from a book. The book said that not only did the meat lose the nasty fishy smell, but also the pig became docile, didn't like to move, and especially grew meat. They are all raised by others who have tested them personally, and those who have raised them have agreed, godfather, godmother, do you want to try it?"

Try?

Li Maoshan and Long Mingxing looked at each other with fiery hearts, and they both saw determination in each other's eyes.

Perhaps it was out of natural trust in Su, a small capable person;
Or maybe it's because ordinary people naturally respect those who can read and write;
Li Maoshan, who is like a steel tower, is actually a person who does what he says.

The next day when Yu Su got up to eat breakfast, his godfather and two big brothers were no longer on the dining table. When he was holding a bowl for breakfast, Yu Su learned from his godmother that his The godfather couldn't wait for a moment, and took Xiong Daxiong Er and set off early in the morning before dawn. One was to buy piglets, and the other was to go directly to the mule and horse market in the town to find geldings. The craftsmen went.

Yu Su...

Well, I still underestimated the enthusiasm of the farmers to make more money in this era.

With the knowledge provided by Yu Su and the skillful operation of the gelding horse, the two little piglets bought back quickly completed the pigleting ceremony.

Looking at the pitiful little piglets huddled in the temporary pigsty with their tails between their legs, Yu Su and Li Maoshan were eagerly looking forward to it.

A person looking forward to eating good meat without any fishy smell;

One hopes that the pigs will grow fat soon. If the meat is good, they will grow fast and strong. Li Maoshan can even imagine that there will be many good ways to make money in his village;
And there is another thing that Li Maoshan didn't say, if this way is feasible, it can really increase the income, but the poor family can't afford to raise pigs, even if they only learn the craft of pigs, it will be a good job that will benefit endlessly for future generations... …

Their eyes couldn't help falling on the two injured little piggies again, and the two limp little piggies shivered tremblingly.

The important matter of coming to Lijiazhai has also been settled, and even the matter of pig breeding has been successfully concluded. Thinking of his little husband-in-law's reluctance before leaving, Yu Su didn't plan to stay longer, and planned to go back home tomorrow.

Regardless of the resistance of her godfather and mother, she bought an ewe and a lamb, pulled a basket of nearly [-] eggs, and forced the ten taels of silver she brought to her godfather and mother, with a full bag of money. The full harvest was personally escorted back to Tongyang County by the godfather and the seven wolves.

They brought eggs, drove sheep, and the ox cart was not moving fast. By the time they entered the city, it was already noon, and the school was about to end.

In the academy...

Song Xinglin, who was taking a break between classes, was lying on the desk, looking sluggish.

Alas, that heartless fish, I'm afraid he's going crazy with joy, he has completely forgotten the existence of his husband, and he is so happy that he doesn't want to come back, right?
Song Xinglin complained bitterly in his heart, almost counting the days while pinching his hands, he even thought about it, if the little girl didn't come back again, even if he would be reprimanded by his master, he would ask for leave to pick her up.

In the past, I didn't feel alone and alone, but since I married a wife, I have such a loving person, and he also hurts, and I really can't bear the separation.

People, the most unbearable to talk about.

No, someone with a lot of resentment was talking about it, school was over in the afternoon, and one foot stepped out of the gate of the school. From a long distance, Song Xinglin saw the bullock carts from far to near on the street, and the bullock carts. on familiar faces.

Song Xinglin was overjoyed in an instant, and Sa Yazi went up to meet him, and when a gust of wind blew past Jin Xiaopang who was leading a group of younger brothers, he also attracted Jin Xiaopang's attention.

When Jin Xiaopang saw that this stupid big man ran out like flying, and the person who picked him up was his little sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Jin Xiaopang still raised his head angrily, and his nostrils were gasping.

It's a pity that Song Xinglin doesn't care about it at the moment.

He ran to the ox cart without waiting for the ox cart to come to a stop, Song Xinglin went straight to Yu Su, reached out and picked up the person on the cart. I used my small iron fist to hit people, but this guy didn't feel any pain at all, and he kept having fun.

The appearance of the young couple naturally aroused the laughter of Li Maoshan's family when they got in and out of the car.

Hearing this movement, Song Xinglin realized that he had lost his composure.

It's all the fault of the little girl who doesn't want to go back to Shu, which makes him miss it too much. No, if I accidentally see someone, I will forget about it and lose my composure!
Song Xinglin, who realized this, put the person in his arms back into the bullock cart, quickly pretended to be nonchalant, first rubbed someone's head, then straightened his clothes, and then turned towards Li Maoshan, his wife and Qi The uncles and brothers bowed to each other to say hello.

"I've seen godfather, godmother, elder brother, younger brothers."

Li Maoshan and Long Mingxing laughed, and Long Mingxing couldn't help teasing, "Father, look, look, hahaha, it's better to be young, look at our little son-in-law's joy , tsk tsk, this is embarrassing..."

Song Xinglin...

Seeing that the seven wolves beside him were also looking at the scene jokingly, no matter how thick Song Xing was, he couldn't stand such a scrutiny at this moment, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Godfather and mother, brothers and sisters, you must be tired after driving for a day? Let's go home quickly."

Now that the son-in-law is a scholar, Li Maoshan had to save face, so he stopped teasing his son-in-law. After all, they were still on the street, and they chatted about his wife who was still smiling, so he followed suit and greeted him. Leading the seven cubs, they followed Song Xinglin's lead to the house in Sanyuan Lane.

There were so many people, most of them were men, and it was impossible to mess with his own house, so Song Xinglin didn't plan to entertain guests at home.

When the group arrived at the door, Song Xinglin took Yu Su out of the car and whispered to her, discussing how to let Yu Su go to the restaurant to book a table, and at the same time, go to a few rooms to accommodate guests. Yu Su thought about it without hesitation. accepted.

Her family's little husband is right, the place in the house is narrow, and it's enough to let the godparents know where they are staying. It is definitely not possible to entertain here, and the Lijiazhai is not close to the county road, so it is naturally impossible for them not to entertain Just let people go home.

Thinking of this, Yu Su didn't delay. While her godfather, godmother and godbrothers were helping to unload the car, she went to work as a familiar person. When she came back after finishing everything, the eggs on the car, The sheep, as well as the melons, fruits and vegetables brought by the godfather and mother to their husband and wife, were all neatly put at home. Uncle is greeting.

When Yu Su came closer, she could still hear Uncle Zhao talking to her godfather loudly...

"Hey, Brother Li, you are welcome. Both babies are fine. Call me uncle, and they are real relatives. Don't worry, don't worry. You should be your uncle's caretaker and say hello. You are welcome, Brother Li. .”

"What? Brother Li said something about sheep? Hey! What is this worth? Brother, you have seen it too. The place where the two children are small, it is difficult to turn around in the kitchen, and it is even more inconvenient to raise two sheep.

And to say that I am not afraid of your jokes, brother, the two bastards in my brother's family spend their days at home, and the older one, let him stop studying and refuse to practice martial arts. Isn't it just right to help his sister raise sheep?
Brother, stop being polite, I am an uncle, help me take care of what is there, if my brother is so polite again, my younger brother will be ashamed to death, the children will call me uncle, it’s all own family. "

"Oh! Yes, yes, I think if it wasn't for the two children's backbone, they didn't want to live in my uncle's house, and now they wouldn't have this trouble..."

"Yeah, yes, yes, I should have let them settle in my house in the first place, so that everyone can take care of me. I'm ashamed to say it..."
