MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 2

"Why hasn't the Zhang family come here?"

"Didn't the fourth child of the Chen family go to yell? I guess he overslept."

"What time is it? No matter how much you oversleep, you can't sleep until this hour. It's okay if you oversleep, but don't get drunk and fall into the river. I heard that there was an alcoholic in the neighboring village who got drunk and left the city. Fortunately, he was picked up by a passer-by, otherwise he would have died. It is freezing cold, and the drunkard is still lying at home."

"The Zhang family boy is also a prodigal. I think his father was also capable back then. He must have left him a lot of money for him to spend his days in the city eating, drinking and having fun."

There were two tables set up in the courtyard of the Xu family, surrounded by a few women and brothers who were picking vegetables and peeling garlic, and men were sitting or standing beside them, kneading dried pumpkin seeds, and everyone was waiting for the butcher to come. By the way, I talked about the influential figures in the village.

"Eating and drinking is nothing, he still went to the flower house, and went to the casino with the young master in the city. He got mixed up with what he should do and what he shouldn't do."

"It's a crime, but tell my girl and brother to stay away from him. This person is not a decent person. If one day he drinks too much and commits a crime, then the unlucky one is not the girl and brother."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Changren, the host, yelled loudly: "Zhang Tuzi, you are here, the water for blanching pig hair in this pot has been boiled for several turns!"

The fiery villagers who were talking in the yard fell silent when they saw the burly and fierce young man striding in.

Zhang Fangyuan went into the courtyard and saw that the people in the courtyard were all looking at him. Just now he heard that this side was bustling outside, but when he came in, there was no sound. It was unclear who everyone was talking about.

People in the village love to gossip, and it’s not just a matter of a day or two. At the beginning, he couldn’t hear these people always talking about his parents behind his back, so he went to the city to drink because he was depressed, and he didn’t go back to the village every three days. . After that, everyone didn't talk much about his parents, but started talking about his idleness, anyway, it didn't stop.

After a lifetime of watching flowers and flowers, he turned around and faced them again. He suddenly felt that it was funny, and it was really not worth it for gossip.

"I'm sorry Uncle Xu, I was delayed on the road for a while, and the fat pig just dragged it out."

Xu Changren, a man from the Xu family, didn't see much guilt when he heard the words, he quickly called the man who came to hold the pig and dragged the animal out. The boar was so strong that the four men managed to control it.

Zhang Fangyuan took out the sharp knife with a silver face and cold light, his eyes sharpened, and he lifted the knife with his hand. Even though he hadn't done this business for many years, his movements were still very skillful.

After the pig was bled, the pig's skin was scalded to remove the hair. The man carried the pig onto two long benches. The shaved fat pig was cut into small pieces, and the villagers who wanted to buy meat immediately surrounded him.

What kind of meat do you want, and how many catties do you want? Even if you don’t have a scale, Zhang Fangyuan can cut it to a similar weight.

Even if the villagers looked down on him no matter how hard they worked, some people couldn't help but say, "Zhang Tuzi's hands and feet are really nimble!"

Zhang Fangyuan wiped the blade: "It's all done through practice."

This is his craft, otherwise no one would ask him to butcher pigs because of his temper.

Although Zhang Fangyuan can estimate the weight, Liu Xianglan, the plump lady of the Xu family, is still worried. After all, she has worked so hard to raise the animals for more than half a year. Come out on the scale: "Everyone who wants meat come to the scale!"

"Xu Niangzi, it's really good to raise this animal of yours, and the meat is too fat."

Liu Xianglan felt proud when she heard this: "That's not true, our livestock used a lot of pig food twice a day and three times a day to feed them fat and strong."

After working for more than half an hour, most of the owner's pigs were sold. The pigs were fat, and everyone was greedy for the oily taste. Pork was also very easy to sell in the village. Liu Xianglan had a lot of money in her pocket, and she was worried satisfy.

After the meat was sold, the women and brothers were busy with the work in the kitchen, and the men who came to help had nothing to do, so they gathered around and played dice with small bets. It was almost Chinese New Year in winter, and there was another meal of meat. Eat, everyone likes to go and play for a while.

"Put it away, can you come and have two?"

Zhang Fangyuan waved his hand: "I'm going to the latrine, you play first."

He got into the house. Xu's family is considered a high-ranking family in the village, and they can live without a search. They don't have many houses, but the house passed down from their ancestors is larger and different in structure from Zhang's. His left The threshold on the right of the threshold somehow crossed to the side of a small house.

"Brother He, cook the meat quickly, put away the ingredients for the vegetables, and go to the stove to light the fire and have a rest for a while, you have been busy for a long time, let the second sister come."

Zhang Fangyuan laughed when he heard Ruanmi's soft voice, it's all done, what else do you need to do? Hearing the sound, he couldn't help but tilt his head to see which girl could talk like this, and when he looked up, he saw two young people in the room, a girl and a brother.

Without stepping forward to ask, he immediately knew who the two were.

It is said that the Xu family has no sons, the eldest died when he was young, and now there is only one girl and younger brother. The second girl, Xu Shaochun, is fair and juicy, and she is well-known as a village flower, but the youngest, Xu He, is sallow, thin, and poorly made.

People in the village always talk too much after dinner and dinner. How can the same parents give birth to two very different children? Compared with his sister, He Geer is even more inconspicuous.

Zhang Fangyuan looked at the little girl who was standing by the stove with her waist pinched, her pearls and jade were round, her face was white and rosy, her black eyes matched with red cherry lips, she was wearing a delicate royal blue velvet winter coat, she was alive and well Like the proud daughter of a rich family, it's no wonder that Chen Si almost swallowed when he mentioned it, but he really has a good appearance.

On the other hand, the little brother who was working on the stove by the side, was dressed in a cross-neck linen dress that was stitched together in small steps, wrapped in a bony body, with a scorched yellow face with no flesh, and two protruding eyes that were extraordinarily large. But he didn't look very bright, the circles around his eyes were black and blue, his whole body was very gray, like a short and thin little monkey, he was really different from his sister.

"Steaming the heart and lungs with radishes is so fragrant. I've already prepared the soup. I just need to stir-fry the vegetables."

The little brother’s tone is light, and his voice is mixed with the hoarseness of the winter cold. It is neither soft like a girl’s, nor like the clear and beautiful voice of my brother. .

Wearing an apron, he was cooking with a spatula in front of the stove, but he was quick to put salt and ingredients into the pot, but the smell of cooking with a few spatulas filled the small stove.

Zhang Fangyuan rubbed his chin, the food is really delicious, it can catch up with the best restaurants in the city.

"Zhang Tuzi!"

With a sudden cry, Xu Shaochun who was in the room was startled and picked up an earthen jar nearby.

Zhang Fangyuan tilted his head, saw Liu Xianglan hurriedly approaching, and said unhurriedly: "Miss Xu, let me find a latrine."

"On the left hand side, you just go along the eaves and turn the corner."

"it is good."

Zhang Fangyuan walked to the place she said, and Liu Xianglan got into the stove when she saw that the person had gone far away.

Xu Shaochun breathed a sigh of relief, put down the earthen jar, and stepped forward to hold Liu Xianglan's arm: "You scared me so much."

Liu Xianglan scolded: "You have to be careful to avoid this man, he goes to the city to drink and have fun all day long, I think he is deliberately groping to see you, and even pretending to be looking for a latrine. You girl has such a big heart , didn't even notice."

"Mother knows that the man's character is not good, so why invite the family over?"

"Where did I call it? It was your father who called him to kill the pigs. Since the old butcher died, he is the only butcher in our village. If you don't call him to kill the pigs, then you have to go to another village to call someone else." , your father said it's too troublesome to do it."

Liu Xianglan stopped talking, and then glanced at Xu He who hadn't spoken all this time: "How is the cooking? Oh, it's delicious."

Xu Shaochun saw that when talking about the food, even her mother praised it, and couldn't help but said: "The meat and vegetables are delicious. Brother He is good at cooking, but the taste is too big. Mother wants me to be in this kitchen." I'm learning from here, but unfortunately, the new clothes my mother made for me in the city are full of smell."

"You silly girl, I know you don't like to smoke and smoke, but there are many customers outside today, so don't take out something to meet them."

The mother and daughter talked for a while, then remembered that there was another person in the side stove, turned around and said to Xu He: "Brother He, don't go out after the food here is ready, someone will do the cooking and serving, you Go back to the house for dinner. It’s not that your mother won’t let you go out, there are a lot of gossips from the village here today, and they will have to use you to talk to Shaochun.”

Xu He didn't even lift his eyelids, just nodded his head, no matter if it's someone else's business or his own business, he always arranges like this anyway. The villagers can't eat a few good meals throughout the year. Today, there are some meat dishes. He and others have gone out to eat and add a big bowl of rice. It is more comfortable to eat two big spoonfuls of vegetables in the house.

Zhang Fangyuan came back from the hut and played a few dice with the men in the village. He was lucky. He won several times in a row, and those who lost were not very happy. The dice were withdrawn.

Everyone started setting up and eating lively again.

"The fried pork liver is so tender, so delicious."

After taking a sip of wine, Chen Si praised the stir-fried pork liver with sliced ​​green onions, and all the men at the table moved their chopsticks when they heard this.

"It's really tender, it can't be done without a few kung fu."

At this moment, Liu Xianglan heard the news and came over. Taking advantage of the time to refill the wine, she pointed her chin at the daughter in the room: "The child is fried, it's not a good thing, everyone, don't laugh at her."

Zhang Fangyuan ate with a sullen head, and couldn't help but look up at Liu Xianglan who was full of smiles when he heard the words. Just now this dish was clearly fried by Xu He, who was out of the way. No matter how he served it, it was Xu Shaochun's cooking.

"I've heard about the second daughter of Mrs. Xu's family, Shui Ling, but I didn't expect her craftsmanship to be so good. If anyone gets married, it would be a great blessing."

Immediately a few women joined in, Liu Xianglan couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and said, "Everyone knows how to joke."

Zhang Fangyuan saw through but didn't say anything, and threw a few pieces of radish into his mouth. This Xu family is really interesting. He raised his neck and shamelessly yelled at Liu Xianglan: "Miss Xu, if you don't call your girl and brother out for dinner on such a good day, you've been busy around the stove all morning, and you're still hiding it at this time." .”

"Hahahahaha, this can only be said by Zhang Fangyuan."

The men at the table picked up Zhang Fangyuan again and started joking.

Without letting her mother shout, Xu Shaochun actually walked out in response to the chatter and laughter of a group of men, and Shi Shiran said that he would pour wine for the elders who came to eat. Seeing Xu Shaochun who came out with a rosy face, all the men at the table stopped serving food, they were really filial and reasonable.

Zhang Fangyuan raised the corners of his mouth, took advantage of this spare time, and picked pork lung slices from the big chopsticks in the bowl by himself. The Xu family's cooking skills are good, but after digging and searching, there are not many pieces of meat in a big pot of radish lung slice soup.

When the man at the table turned his eyes away from Xu Shaochun, Zhang Fangyuan ate up all the meat.

After the meal, Zhang Fangyuan, as a butcher, not only got a meal of planed pig soup, but also a piece of pork as a reward from the host's family.

Xu Changren was quite generous, and gave Zhang Fangyuan two catties of fat and thin pork. After he took the things, he didn't keep much, and was about to leave.

The ones left on this side are all those who have the idea of ​​the second daughter of the Xu family. If he hadn't bumped into the two children of the Xu family in Pianchu today, seeing Xu Shaochun's good looks, and her mother's bragging, he would definitely have missed it. Some fascinated.

He shook his head, people need to watch more.

He didn't go home directly with the meat, but turned his head and went to the village alcove first.
