Cannon fodder also wants to live (through the book)

43 Chapter 43

Regardless of the elegant names of Gu Shu and Gu Qi, they actually know some simple boxing skills, and the attendants of the rich son can be regarded as guards at some point.

With their help, it is still possible to press a pig.

Qin Sulin was packing up the knife. The long dagger was shining with a cold light, and it looked very sharp. Zhang Caixuan had never seen it before. She was still worrying about the knife for killing pigs, thinking that she was looking for an excuse to borrow a knife from the village.

Nowadays, ordinary people don't have this kind of thing in their homes. In fact, the control of weapons and iron is very strict. All blacksmith shops have reported to the Yamen that they have lost their reputation. Such sharp daggers cannot be bought in blacksmith shops.

Zhang Caixuan didn't ask where the dagger came from. The Qin family used to be a big family. It's not surprising that there are some good things, and the big ones must not be brought out. It is still possible to bring something like a dagger.

Now she's worried about...

"Can you butcher a pig?"

When Zhang Caixuan asked this question, she was really worried.

Not everyone can be a butcher. Qin Sulin has been in the village for many years, where can he learn how to butcher pigs?

Qin Surin thought for a while, "Should be able to kill it?"

Hearing his uncertain tone, Zhang Caixuan: "..." Brother, what if you can't kill him and kill him half to death?

Qin Surin seemed to see her worry, and stretched out his hand to stroke her hair, "Don't worry. Pigs are like people, they will always die when stabbed at a vital point, at worst, kill a few more times."

This is really irresponsible.

Still worried, Zhang Caixuan followed him to the backyard, where a big stool had already been washed, and Gu Shu and Gu Qi didn't mind the smell, they were lying down beside the pigsty to look inside.

"So fat!" Gu Shu sighed.

I don't know what he sighed.

Seeing Qin Surin coming over with a dagger, the two opened the circle door, Qin Surin also stepped forward to help, the three of them quickly pulled out one end and pressed it on the stool, Qin Surin also washed the pig's neck, raised the knife and dropped it, a series The action is crisp and neat.

When Zhang Caixuan opened her eyes, she saw a stream of blood spurting from the pig's neck, and it just fell into the wooden basin placed in front of the stool.Gradually, the blood flow decreased, the pig's struggling movements became smaller and smaller, and the sound became smaller and smaller. The basin was filled with more than half of the pig's blood.

,all in

Gu Shu tentatively let go of his hand, seeing that it still didn't move, he smiled and said, "It's done."

Looking at Qin Surin, he praised: "Brother Qin, you can kill pigs, it's still a craft."

Qin Sulin smiled and said: "Uncle Qing was not in good health before, and I was fine. Every time I got up early to buy the best meat, I saw the butcher kill a few times, and even helped clean up."

Zhang Caixuan understood instantly. ,all in

Butchers killing pigs are not just about killing pigs, they also have to disembowel them.Qin Surin never said that he would ask for help from the beginning, so he knew it himself.

Gu Shu stood aside curiously, as if intending to watch, Qin Surin stepped forward and said with a smile: "Thank you both today, and I will send a thank you gift later."

Gu Shu was overjoyed at first, then waved his hand and refused, "No need, just bring the young master's meat."

After seeing off the two of them and returning to the backyard, Qin Surin frowned looking at a pig that was still warm on the stool.

Zhang Caixuan looked at the pig a little strangely, then at Qin Sulin, and asked suspiciously: "The hot water is ready, do you want me to fetch it?"

Qin Surin nodded, with a calm face, and said: "I'll go, I don't need you."

Seeing him rushing away, Zhang Caixuan was a little puzzled, Qin Sulin didn't seem right.

It wasn't until he started to tidy up that Zhang Caixuan understood that he really didn't know how to do it, and he didn't know how to do it just by looking at it.They didn't have the butcher's knife at hand, they just chopped it to the same size at random, and they used woodcutters' knives.

Even so, Zhang Caixuan is very satisfied.

Qin Sulin sent the Gu family's meat over there in the dark.He didn't know how much, anyway, he took a large piece, so he estimated it roughly.

Both of them were a little tired, mainly because of heart tiredness.

After the pig was killed, even if it was raining outside, the two of them would still have work to do. They would marinate the meat, have the bones to be stewed, and... pig internal organs.

According to Qin Sulin's intention, all of them were used to feed the cats. Zhang Caixuan was unwilling, so she cleaned them up little by little, especially the intestines that he disliked the most. After washing them carefully for a long time, they stewed them again. Although there was no chili pepper, Zhang Caixuan was a cook. The taste is not bad.

,all in

In the afternoon, Gu Shu knocked on the door and brought a tael of silver. He approached Qin Sulin and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qin, you have so much meat, and there are only two of you, and you told us not to tell, how do you let it go?"

Asking not to say that means not intending to sell.

Qin Surin pondered for a while, "It can be preserved for a while after salting."

Gu Shu was surprised, "Really?"

Qin Surin nodded seriously, "Try it and see if it works, anyway, the weather won't be bad for a while."

It's true, it's so cold outside, it's not a problem to leave it for seven or eight days.

Gu Shu gave the money and went back, Qin Sulin continued to help in the kitchen, the pig blood did not know how Zhang Caixuan made it, it became a piece, after boiling hot water, it formed and it would not break if touched lightly.

Seeing that the cooking was over, there was another knock on the door outside, and Qin Surin opened it again. In this weather, people have to put on a coir raincoat when they go out. It is foggy outside, and most people would not want to go out.

The person who came was still Gu Shu. He looked at Qin Surin after entering the door, "Brother Qin, the young master said he still wants to buy some meat, would you like it?"

Qin Surin was surprised, the Gu family was full of people, and there were only six of them. Twenty catties of meat was enough for them to eat for at least seven or eight days, and it would be bad after that. "How much?"

Gu Shu scratched his head, "Young master said, you can sell as much as you want, and you know your temperament, you will not treat you badly."

Qin Surin thought for a while, went into the door, filled a basket and handed it over. Gu Shu happily accepted it, and asked carefully how to pickle it, before leaving happily.

The two of them cleaned up for four or five days, and it was almost the same. Recently, Xiaobai and Xiaohei have a good life, and their bones are enough.

At this time, Yan Daidi came to the door again, wanting to buy medicine.

She took off her coir raincoat, and her clothes were thin, and Zhang Caixuan saw Wu wearing the patched outermost one.Wu's figure is plump, and Yan Daidi's body has obviously been modified and fits him well.

Zhang Caixuan took out a pack of medicine from the house and handed it to her, "My house is gone, only these are the ones you left last time."

Yan Daidi nodded, and handed over the copper coin, Zhang Caixuan took it as usual, she lingered and refused to leave, and took a while to get up and leave.

Zhang Caixuan still didn't ask why.

They slaughtered pigs, and only the Gu family knew about it, but some voices might be heard in the village, and Hu Niuniang even came to ask her once.

Zhang Caixuan told the truth, Hu Niuniang was curious, "Your meat is not going to be sold? Can you keep it?"

Zhang Caixuan only said: "In fact, I sold half of it to the Gu family, and there are cats and dogs at home, so there is not much left. It can be pickled with salt, and it won't spoil for a while. Besides, it can be stored for a long time in this kind of weather."

Hu Niuniang's eyes lit up, she asked carefully, and after confirming that she could just smear it with salt, she pondered for a while, thanked her earnestly, and got up to leave.

The rain did not stop, and Mai Sheng went to the town again. This time, he was not alone, but brought several women from the village with him. The main reason is that the weather has been cold recently, and there are many people suffering from the wind and cold. There is a lesson from Mrs. Sun Now, the people in the village didn't dare to procrastinate at all. Several people went to Mai Sheng's house and begged him to take everyone to buy medicine.

If he bought something else, Zhang Maisheng might not agree, but no one would want to be sick, and he was particularly touched. Jinniang didn't object, and the bullock cart went to town regardless of the rain.

Zhang Caixuan will know that the main reason is that Niu Niu came to thank her. She also bought ten catties of meat and marinated it. She came again to ask if she could tell others about the method.

Of course she is willing, but in fact it is nothing at all, there is no need to hide it, it is impossible for her to eat meat in the future and no one else will, so she will not feel at ease eating it.

So, Mai Sheng, who went to the town once and it went well, went again in a few days, and everyone in the village paid him copper coins.This time there are more people buying meat.

Zhang Caixuan doesn't care about these things, the weather is getting colder now, and it's okay at night, but during the day, she can't sit still without lighting the brazier, and the hand holding the needle is frozen to death.

As the weather gets colder, Qin Surin usually gets up first, and this day he was the one who got up first, but he came back soon to call her, "Caixuan, it's snowing outside."

Snowing.

Zhang Caixuan hurriedly got up and opened the window to look. As soon as she opened the window, there was a bone-chilling coldness, and the outside was covered with white.There were still large flakes of snowflakes falling from the sky, and only the houses could be seen faintly from the village. As for the road to the village, it was all covered, and even if you carefully distinguished it, you couldn't tell where the road was.If the snow does not melt, you may not dare to walk on the road, and it is not impossible for someone to accidentally step on a pit or ditch beside the road.

Zhang Caixuan glanced at it, and quickly closed the window, shrunk her neck, and tightened her clothes, "Su Lin, let's burn the kang."

Qin Sulin responded softly, turned around and went out, probably to carry firewood to burn the kang.

In fact, he suggested burning the kang a few days ago, because the charcoal they had prepared was gone, and they just deliberately set aside some braziers for the brazier when cooking every day.

I tried burning wood, but found that the smoke was too heavy and choking, and I couldn't open my eyes.

Qin Surin's house has a kang, and he helped Zhang Caixuan do it several times at the beginning, and when his house was built, he was already very proficient.Because there are many houses, when the two got married, they were in the main room, and Kang was in the next room.
