Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

Chapter 316 Lamb

"Mutton? You can buy a few kilograms."

Xu Yeliang was the first to express his intention to buy.

He looked at Xu Dahai and the others again. Xu Hu and Rong Chenglin shook their heads in rejection. Two yuan a pound of mutton was indeed not expensive.

But they think it is better to buy pork to eat.

Pork is more fragrant and cheaper.

After breakfast, Xu Dahai and the others strolled to watch the sheep being slaughtered. Many villagers had gathered on the platform to watch the fun.

Everyone was talking and laughing.

Quite lively.

Some people sympathized with the sheep-raising villagers and said words of comfort; but there were also villagers who did not have good relations with each other and were gloating about their misfortune. Several sheep were killed by local leopards, and the losses were considerable.

"Isn't mutton two yuan a pound?"

"It's Ye Liang. It's free of charge. I'll cut off a few kilograms for you and go back to stew it. It's free of charge!"

Xu Yeliang is the uncle of this village. Many villagers know him. The man who was slaughtering the sheep immediately smiled and said.

The man was also quite optimistic, and he didn’t look sad even after encountering such a thing.

"No, no, no, you still have to pay, and you don't have to cut too much, just three pounds."

Xu Yeliang quickly paid.

Finally cut a piece.

When it was weighed, it was 3 kilograms and 4 taels, and I only received 3 kilograms of money.

The man looked at Xu Dahai again and said with a smile: "Little brother, I see you have been walking around for a few times. Do you want to buy a few pounds?"

There is hope in his eyes. If he sells more, he can recover more losses.

Unexpectedly, Xu Dahai pointed directly at a dead sheep on the ground and said:

"I have a lot of family members. Let's just get this one. What's the price?"

"what?"

The man was stunned for a moment. Mutton was so expensive, and most people wouldn't buy even a pound of it. Now, some people wanted to buy a whole sheep! ?

After coming back to his senses, he immediately walked a few steps over and started chatting with Xu Dahai.

In the end, it was determined that the price was 1 yuan per catty. The sheep could only be considered a half-grown sheep. After being weighed, it was found to be 76 catties, so we calculated it as 76 catties.

The meat yield of this kind of goat is about 45% to 50%. Although it costs one yuan per pound, if you only count the mutton, it is almost 2 yuan.

But sheep skins, sheep heads, sheep bones, sheep intestines, etc. are also good things, so after all the calculations, Xu Dahai must have taken advantage of them.

Checkout and leave.

It was already afternoon by the time I got home on my [-] with my dog.

……

At 05:30 in the evening, Xiao Tingzi returned home after school from elementary school and found that a barbecue grill had been set up in her yard, and strings of mutton were skewered on the skewers and were almost cooked.

"Meow~"

The fat orange cat held its little paws and squatted on a small bench not far away, waiting to eat the mutton. He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Tingzi, and immediately started barking.

"Hey, want to eat mutton skewers?"

"Hmm, do you like mutton skewers?"

"I love eating!" the little girl said so loudly that her eyes almost disappeared from laughter.

As long as there is delicious food, the little girl will be very happy.

"Then hurry up and do your homework. After you finish your homework, it's almost time to eat."

The little girl ran into the house to do her homework, while Xu Dahai smiled and continued to flip the mutton skewers, sizzling! Drops of mutton fat began to condense and drip, and when they hit the charcoal fire, a burst of white smoke instantly spattered.

The fragrance is wafting.

The dogs lying not far away were almost losing their temper.

The sun was setting. After a day of farm work, the second uncle and the third uncle also came home. Xu Dahai asked his father to help him grill the mutton skewers. He also called the second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, third aunt, and grandparents over. .

Besides.

Xu Hu's family and the long-term worker Yang Weiguo also came over. With the number of people and strength, Xu Dahai didn't need to take action.

Everyone cuts meat, skewers it, grills it, and chats while doing things, relaxed and comfortable.

In addition to the mutton kebabs, some mutton was also stewed in the pot. After the stew was finished, it was taken out and placed on the table, and a strong aroma immediately wafted out.

"The mutton skewers are ready too. You can eat these first, and I will grill the others."

Father Xu Houtian was very active and continued to put a large amount of raw mutton on the grill, becoming more and more proficient in his technique.

"Delicious, right?"

Mom smiled and gave Xiao Tingzi a bunch of mutton skewers, and at the same time pushed down the head of the big orange cat that was scratching the table.

"It's delicious! It's so delicious!" The little girl ate the mutton skewers with a happy smile on her face.

They were all eating Xiaohua and Xiaoxiang, enjoying themselves and being peaceful.

"By the way, dad, that sheepskin is a good thing. I'll tan it some other day when I have time. Then I can make a sheepskin jacket."

Xu Dahai sat at the low table with his sword in hand and said to his father Xu Houtian who was eating mutton skewers.

"Yeah, just leave this to me. I'll take care of the sheep's head, hooves, and urine. When it's ready, we can all eat together!"

Father Xu Houtian took a sip of wine and picked up a skewer of mutton, leisurely and with an expression of genuine enjoyment.

"By the way, didn't you guys hunt the local leopards? Why did you come back? Aren't you afraid that the leopards will come back to eat the sheep?" Third Uncle asked casually while eating the stewed mutton.

Xu Hu just wanted to explain.

But grandpa said directly: "I asked just now. They injured the native leopard. I'm afraid it won't come again in the near future. The native leopard is also afraid of death."

Grandpa is too old to chew mutton, so he can only put some mutton soup into a bowl with a spoon and drink it slowly.

look around.

Looking at the large number of juniors in the yard with different expressions and movements, most of whom were eating mutton skewers, Grandpa also showed a smile of relief and satisfaction.

"Grandpa, you eat mutton skewers too!"

Xiaohua handed Grandpa a bunch of mutton skewers, her eyes were clear and her voice was childish, but the latter did not accept it, but smiled and touched her little head:

"Grandpa, I can't chew anymore. You can eat it~"

……

The setting sun gradually sank to the other side of the mountain, and the sky and the earth became dark. After eating, everyone sat in the yard and chatted again. They dispersed after about 8 o'clock in the evening.

Time flies.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

The mutton, mutton bones, and mutton offal were finally finished.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon that day, with a gentle breeze, Xu Dahai and his dogs came back from fishing with a basket on their backs.

Before I even entered the house, I heard the loudspeaker in the village making bursts of noise, and then the voice of the old village chief came out.

He stopped and listened.

At the neighbor's house next door, Xu Ercai, who was also wearing a gray cloth coat and a liberation hat, came out to listen.

"Attention, all villagers, please put your work aside and listen to what I have to say!

This year will soon be the day to start making goods, and some people are already ready...

But what I want to say is that when people from the county medicinal materials company come, you are no longer allowed to sell red ginseng to others privately. You must sell it to the county medicinal materials company!

Anyone who dares to disobey will be arrested! "
