Yang Ruoqing first went to Yang Huazhong's house, looked at her father, and told him about the tofu delivery today, how much money she got, and what she bought.

Then, guessing the time, she entered the kitchen.

While he was thinking about what dishes to entertain them, Luo Fengtang also walked in.

"Qing'er, you picked up the big crucian carp I bought back at noon, and we all can eat it together," Luo Fengtang said.

"That's not possible. You bought it to replenish your uncle's health. I just changed the water for it and kept it in a bucket," Yang Ruoqing said.

"It's okay, I don't know how to cook fish, so you should do it. Call my uncle over later and we can eat together," Luo Fengtang suggested.

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, how about I make a bowl of braised crucian carp?"

Luo Fengtang chuckled, "It doesn't matter what happens, you have the final say and I'll go out and do some work."

In a flash, he left the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Yang Ruoqing called Da'an and Xiaoan.

"You two, quickly go to the old Luo family on the other side of the village and invite Uncle Luo over for lunch."

"okay"

Daan and Xiaoan ran out.

Yang Ruoqing just started to tidy up.

Peel the radish, wash the cabbage, peel the yam, break up the cauliflower, blanch it with hot water in a pot, remove it and drain it for later use.

After weighing two pounds of pork belly, Yang Ruoqing planned to cook the radish and meat in one pot, and then sprinkle some green onions, garlic, dried chili peppers, etc. It would definitely be an appetizer.

Mr. Sun came back after lunch.

It was Chang Geng who helped Sun carry the captured piglet into the courtyard gate.

It just so happens that the pigsty here is coming to an end.

When Mrs. Sun saw the bustling crowd busy there, and when Yang Ruoqing explained their purpose, Ms. Sun was both happy and grateful.

In the eyes of farmers, all pigs are treasures.

The rice harvest in the fields, excluding exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes, leaves only food and clothing for the whole family.

If you don't catch up with the harvest, you will have to live a period of lean years.

The cotton in the fields must be used to make clothes and quilts

As a result, there is almost no liquid money left on hand.

Therefore, every household created all the conditions to raise pigs, chickens and ducks, trying to use these poultry and livestock to supplement household income and improve food.

However, the sanitation and medical conditions in this era were very backward, and the survival rate of poultry and livestock was generally very low.

The pig becomes even more precious

I saw the bulging stuff in the twine bag, and it moved from time to time, and from time to time I could hear the sound of a piglet snoring.

Old Man Sun and the others temporarily put down what they were doing and came over to take a look.

Even Blacksmith Luo, who had not gone home yet after lunch, gathered around and stretched his neck to look into the twine bag.

There were three little piglets, two black and one flowery. At first glance, they looked almost the same in size.

Then everyone started asking, how many males and females, how many pounds, how many coins per pound, and so on.

Mrs. Sun replied one by one, "Both black ones are male, five cents a pound, and both weigh eighteen pounds."

"It's a sow's piglet that costs seven cents per catty and weighs twenty catties."

Everyone then started to comment.

Yang Ruoqing is also watching and likes these three cute little piglets.

However, the abacus in my heart was also rattling.

The three little piggies cost a total of three hundred and twenty cents.

She pulled Sun aside and asked in a low voice, "Mom, you only have one hundred and twenty-nine pennies on you. Piggy needs three hundred and twenty pennies. There is still one hundred and ninety-one pennies left."

, how did you discuss it with others?"

Mrs. Sun pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I really need to thank you Uncle Chang Geng and Aunt Guihua."

"It just so happens that the family that raises pig girls is a cousin of your Aunt Guihua's mother's family. It was your Aunt Guihua and they who acted as guarantee for me. It won't be too late to give me the rest of the money later when we sell a pig."

Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized.

"Well, that's all thanks to them. But it's okay. We don't need to wait until the little pig grows up. When I send tofu to town a few more times, we can pay off the little piggy's money."

"That's good," said Sun.

The new pigsty could not be used until the evening, so Sun and Yang Huazhong planned to temporarily lock the three little piglets in the old Yang's cowshed.

"Do you want to go and tell Grandma Qing'er?" asked Sun.

Yang Huazhong shook his head and said, "I don't think I need to ask anymore. My father came to see me two days ago, and I mentioned to him that we were going to catch the piglets. If we don't have time to build the pigsty, we have to borrow a cowshed to build one first."

Let go, dad nodded."

Mrs. Sun said, "Then I have to go to Qing'er Nai's place to say hello."

Yang Huazhong said, "My father nodded, why would my mother object?"

"It's hard to say," said Sun. "It would be more practical to say hello again."

As she said that, she was about to get up.

"Mom, you sit down and rest, why don't I go run some errands and ask?"

Yang Ruoqing stopped Mrs. Sun, turned around and walked out of Yang Huazhong's house, walking straight towards the east wing of old Yang's house in the front yard.

forecourt.

Yang Huamei is playing with the dog in the yard.

She was holding a rope in her hand, and the other end of the rope was tied around the neck of Lao Yang's old black cat.

"To make money, chase it quickly, bite it, bite it."

Yang Huamei shook the rope in her hand and barked excitedly at the dog on the ground.

The dog also became excited, grinned, and barked at the old cat.

Then he jumped towards the old cat, opened his mouth and bit the old cat's hind legs.

The old cat was annoyed, "meowed", raised its paw and scratched Wangcai's face.

Wangcai purred twice and backed away with his tail between his legs.

"Wangcai, don't be afraid. You are a dog and you can be scared by a cat. If you come back, I will help you."

Yang Huamei said loudly, and the elephant's leg kicked out, knocking the old cat over several times.

"Wong Cai, come again, bite it, bite it hard"

Wangcai seemed to be inspired, and he bared his teeth again and rushed towards the old cat.

Lao Mao's arrogance was obviously suppressed because of Yang Huamei's kick.

Or maybe they understand that Wangcai and it are both animals in this family, but have different statuses.

The old cat was so frightened that it ran wild all over the yard because of the wealth.

Yang Huamei pulled the rope tightly, and the old cat struggled desperately, but couldn't get away. His neck was strangled until it was almost broken, and he kept rolling his eyes.

Wangcai finally caught up and pounced on the old cat, biting him.

Biting so hard that he shook his head

Yang Huamei clapped her hands and laughed, her eyes and brows full of pride and pride.

Seeing the blood of the cat on the ground dripping out, the old cat's meowing became weaker and weaker, and Yang Huamei finally let go of the rope.

She leaned over and picked up Wangcai, whose mouth was still stained with blood, and patted Wangcai's head lovingly.

"My family's wealth is so great, it's General Dog."

Wangcai licked the remaining cat blood at the corner of his mouth, still looking very excited and wanting to jump out of her arms.
