274 Losing and Winning
Fragrant Spring - '4 Wins and loses
Lin Hua turned the scale to one side, threw out Shaoqiang's piece of pork, and then hooked up Hailun's piece. Everyone present held their breath, Lin Hua's name, he knew who lost and who won.
Ah. Lin Hua did not dare to be careless, and moved the weight rope outward little by little. The further it moved outward, the more nervous everyone became.
Before Lin Hua reported the number, Hailun shouted happily: "I win, I win." Because the weighing rope stopped between the two scale stars of one catty and one catty.
In fact, Lin Hua had already seen that Hailun would win. He kills pigs every day and sells meat. Most people want about a pound each time. After a long time, he can tell that it is seven or eight points. The one Shaoqiang cut off
In the eyes of others, it shouldn't be a loser. If it were weighed in the morning, it would be close to a pound. However, after being exposed to the sun for a day in this hot day, a lot of water in the meat has evaporated, and it looks like the right weight is not reached.
Shaoqiang lost, so he was inevitably a little disappointed, but he was an old gambler, and he was now a rich man. Five or six yuan for these two pounds of pork was not even a dime. So he quickly calmed down.
, said: "Do you dare to get another one weighing two to three pounds?"
Hailun had almost won once, and he thought to himself, "How dare you? Why don't you dare? If you lose, it will be like buying pork and eating it home."
The competition continued, and Shaoqiang picked up the knife again. Hailun was very lucky, and beat Shaoqiang again. Shaoqiang was dissatisfied when he lost, and shouted for more competition. Hailun was not a gambler, and won two
I was so satisfied that I couldn't say anything to compare. Fortunately, Erpang was itching to watch the excitement, so he competed with Shaoqiang. At this time, some people working in the fields came back, and everyone gathered around the meat case to watch the excitement.
.The second fat man is not as lucky as Hylun.
So good, he lost to Shaoqiang in the first blow. Shaoqiang won once and saved a little face. This time it was Er Fatty's turn to ask Shaoqiang if he was coming, and Shaoqiang would naturally come. The two of them
You and I, both losing and winning, couldn't take any advantage, and soon almost all of Lin Hua's remaining pork was cut off. The two of them still wanted to finish it, and finally gambled the remaining half a catty.
, whoever estimates the weight closest will get it.
After the meat was cut, the onlookers had enjoyed watching it, and Lin Hua also laughed. Although Shaoqiang lost a little, his gambling addiction in the past six months was over, and he didn't feel any sadness. The second fat man also had to pay,
But he just bought cheap meat, so he was naturally happy.
Shaoqiang’s daughter Xiaoyan also came here at some unknown time. The little girl didn’t understand winning or losing, and when she saw her father and Erpang had to pay, she didn’t care about it. Anyway, she was happy when her father bought meat. She went to her father’s house.
Next to him, he said excitedly: "Dad, give me the meat and help me take it back."
Shaoqiang pulled the minced meat on his hand and said, "Take it, don't drop it."
Lin Hua pulled a few strips of grass on the side for tying the meat, pierced a hole in each of the strips of meat that Shaoqiang had obtained with a knife, passed them through and tied them together, gave them to Xiaoyan, and teased her:
"Can you handle it?"
Xiaoyan was also smart. Although she had to turn sideways while holding the four or five kilograms of pork, she still said naughtily: "Yes, I can take Uncle Er Fatty's as well."
Xiaoyan's naughtiness made everyone laugh. The second fat man picked up some minced meat on the meat table and hit Xiaoyan, saying: "What are you, fat uncle? I call you second uncle."
Xiaoyan blocked it with her hand, pouted and said, "I'll call you Fatty Uncle." After saying that, she stuck out her tongue and made a face. Xiaoyan walked a few steps and then turned back and asked her father, "Do you want to finish cooking?"
Shaoqiang had already bought some meat in the morning, and he scolded: "You can eat it after cooking it. Ask your mother to cut out the fat meat and refine it, and make the lean meat into soup."
"Oh, do you need to finish cooking the lean meat? If you can't finish it, get up at night and have a midnight snack." Xiaoyan is still struggling with the issue of whether to finish cooking so much meat. Shaoqiang has become rich, and meat is always indispensable at home during this time.
, but I have always been poor. In the past, it was rare to have a meal of meat in a week. Now, although I can eat every meal, Xiaoyan is not tired of eating fish for a month.
"Cook it, and I'll eat you into meatballs sooner or later." Although Shaoqiang was scolding his daughter, in fact, he thought her suggestion was good. He had to finish his late night snack even if he couldn't finish it. He had so much now.
With all the money, even if he eats ten meals a day, he will still be unable to finish them until he dies. A few days ago, he was still thinking about whether he should make a bowl of braised pork every day.
Xiaoyan took the meat and took it away. Erpang also took the meat and went home. Xiaoyan won a little, so he had to go back and show off. After the meat was taken away, the people watching the fun dispersed. After all, winning or losing belongs to others, and
I don't have a penny to do with it, and it's not my turn to eat meat, so I can go home and do whatever I want.
Lin Hua packed up the knife and scale, carried it and walked with Hailun. They had reached a fork in the road, but Lin Hua did not go to his home. Hailun asked in confusion: "Where are you going?"
Lin Hua shook the basket with the butcher's knife in his hand and said, "Go to my sister's house and kill her pigs tomorrow."
"There are almost nothing left today, how dare you kill me tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow Shaoqiang will dig the foundation and it will take fifty kilograms in one go. What are you afraid of?"
"His family is digging the foundation, and most of the people have come to help with the work. Who will buy the meat?"
"It's okay. I'll leave ten pounds in the village for my wife to help sell, and I'll take the rest to the village tour." (Village tour means traveling to other villages to sell.)
"Oh, that's okay. There aren't many left. The tour should be sold out soon."
While talking, the two of them came to the small wooden bridge by the river. The wooden bridge was made of four pine trees as thick as a bowl. There was a large pig cage (bamboo cage, the villagers used to call it a big pig cage) at each end of the river.
.), the big pig cage was filled with stones, and pine trees were placed on it to form a simple bridge. The original old bridge was destroyed by floods
The bridge was pushed away. Not long after the bridge was erected, it was Party Secretary Li who took the lead in organizing people to erect it. At this time, Party Secretary Li was stepping on taro in the river. The skin of raw taro is difficult to peel off. The mountain people also have a way, which is to put it in a snake skin.
Put the bag in the river and step on it, let them rub against each other, and the skin will be rubbed off by yourself. This method is labor-saving and fast.
When Li Zhishu saw the two people approaching, he stopped, stood in the water and asked, "Hua Zi, when did my pigs get killed? Most of the pigs and vegetables have been pushed away by the flood, so there is no need to feed them." Because.
Daughter Ah Xiang and Lin Hua had such an unpleasant incident. Li Zhishu rarely talked to Lin Hua. Now that the pigs at home have grown big, it’s time to kill them. There are only two old ones in the family, so he
