Su Yan smiled and said, "We are all lucky people."
"That's true. My mother said that I am very lucky to have found a husband who will listen to me." Goudan's mother didn't like Jiang Caifu at first.
After all, his mother is famously fierce.
But Jiang Caifu fell in love with her and went to the matchmaker several times to get her. He was also very willing to give up money. Every time he went to work and paid money, he would send two kilograms of meat to her family.
Her mother saw that she was a nice person, so she advised her to think about it carefully.
A group of people arrived at Xiahe Village after talking.
The Wang family is the largest family in the village. Last time we learned that the three brothers have not separated yet, and as long as the mother-in-law is not partial, the daughter-in-law is not willing to separate the family.
Mrs. Wang Sun, a woman with some gray hair, brought them a stool, "Girls, you can sit down wherever you like and sharpen the butcher's knife. You can kill it later."
"Thank you, Auntie." Su Yan sat on the bench, looked up at Qin An, and motioned for him to sit next to her.
Qin An put down his backpack and sat next to her. He glanced around and when he saw no one was paying attention, he touched the back of her hand with the back of his hand.
It's warm.
He took it back and then looked at the busy work in the yard.
Looking at Su Yan from this direction, his side profile can be clearly seen, and the outline of the corner of his jaw is clear and angular.
She looked at the yard for a while.
Several members of the Wang family tied the pigs up and carried them out. They were sweating in the winter.
Probably the fat pig knew that he was about to be killed, so he struggled hard and somehow managed to break free of the rope.
A group of people quickly pressed it, but failed to hold it down. The fat pig rushed towards the main room in a rampage.
Qin An's expression changed, he stood up, grabbed the square stool next to him, and hit the fat pig on the head so hard that the pig weighing several hundred kilograms was bloody.
After swaying for a while, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Qin An breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously turned to look at Su Yan, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Su Yan was really frightened. If she was pushed over, she would probably be seriously injured.
"good."
The Wang family also breathed a sigh of relief. If someone was hit, let alone the pig. Several pigs would not be enough to compensate.
Just as he was about to come over, Qin An took off his cloak, then bent down and exerted his strength. The next moment, the fat pig was carried on his shoulders.
The pace is still steady.
Su Yan knew that he was very strong, but this was the first time she saw him carry such a heavy thing.
He carried it to the yard and hung the wild boar upside down in a few strokes.
"Give me the butcher's knife."
Father Wang reacted and immediately gave him the butcher's knife. Qin An took it over without hesitation at all. He peeled open the pig's belly and took out the internal organs as usual.
Pig blood dripped into a basin.
After the killing, Qin An did not divide the meat. He asked the Wang family to divide the meat themselves. Father Wang said gratefully: "You pick first. I will cut as much as you want."
Qin An washed his hands, turned to look at Su Yan in the main room, and motioned for her to come over. Su Yan got up and ran over like a little daughter-in-law.
"What's wrong?"
"Where do you want it?" Qin An raised his hand and patted the dirt on her cloak.
Hearing this, Su Yan looked at the pork and knew that the Wang family wanted to sell it for money, so she didn't feel embarrassed, "Is it half the price?"
Qin An works a lot and needs to eat more meat.
Bacon can be stored for several months without worrying about it going bad.
Father Wang nodded happily, "Sure, then I'll split it half and half, counting you fifteen cents per catty."
"Sure." Su Yan nodded.
After Wang divided it, he weighed it and found that it weighed more than 120 kilograms.
Including ten kilograms of side oil, Su Yan paid a total of twenty taels of silver. Wang Sun enthusiastically gave them some offal and half of the pig blood.
General Qin An saw that they had a chopping board, so he divided the pork into pieces and put them in a basket.
Only Su Yan could hold the pig blood.
The Wang family was killing pigs and dog eggs. He and the others definitely wanted to stay for a meal, so Su Yan didn't wait for them. "Aunt, uncle, eldest sister, let's go back and get the meat fresh."
"Let's go after eating." Wang Sun persuaded her.
"No, you guys eat, we're not hungry yet." After Su Yan finished speaking, she went home with Qin An.
There was no donkey cart on the way, so Su Yan was afraid that he would be tired, "Let's take a rest."
Qin An didn't stop moving and said in a soft voice: "This is nothing, I can still carry you back together."
Su Yan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so strong?"
"I'm not strong enough to hold down my prey."
Qin An glanced at her and told her about the past, and then said: "Once I hit a wild boar, but I couldn't carry it back, so I dragged it home."
"Later on, I would hold a big rock every time I went up the mountain, and my strength became stronger."
Without parents, she had to rely on herself. Su Yan felt a little sorry for him. After a moment of hesitation, she reached out to hold his hand. The rough calluses of her big palms rubbed her palms.
"We will carry everything together from now on."
The warmth in the palm of his hand made Qin An instinctively stunned. After reacting, he hesitated and gently held her hand, "My hands are rough, do you feel pain?"
"It doesn't hurt." Su Yan looked at him with a smile.
The two of them walked hand in hand, and Qin An had never felt that the road was so short.
Qin family
As soon as she got home, Su Yan got busy. She put on a girdle and took out the lard. "Brother Qin, take out the lean meat and cut it into a lump. We will stuff it with sausage later."
Qin An said "Yeah", and then the two of them went about their own business. It was already late after Su Yan had cooked the lard.
She made do with boiling the noodles with lard and water, and the lard-coated noodles looked shiny.
I planted this pinched cabbage seedling.
Su Yan couldn't help but say after taking the pot, "It smells so good, Brother Qin, wash your hands and eat the noodles."
Qin An washed his hands, picked up the bowl, picked up a chopstick and ate, "Yeah, it's delicious."
Su Yan sat at the kitchen door and ate, "The pork is really delicious, but we have to eat noodles for a long time, there is a lot of lard residue."
"You can also make dumplings then."
The two puppies were howling with greed. Su Yan got up and threw some fried food for them. She had to wait until Qin An was full before sharing the noodles with them. If there was more cooked noodles, Qin An might eat more if he was tired.
Seeing that Su Yan liked to eat cabbage, Qin An picked up the uneaten ones and put them in her bowl, "I'll pick some more tomorrow."
The vegetables we picked today were very tender, so it was a bit uneconomical. Su Yan shook her head and said, "It will grow a few more days."
The two of them chatted for a few words and quickly ate noodles. After eating, Su Yan fed the dogs and chickens, and then went into the kitchen to help.
There is no enema machine here, so the two of them had to stuff it in with bamboo tubes and fill it bit by bit.
After drinking it for most of the night, Su Yan yawned. Qin An glanced at her and said in a low voice: "Boil some water and wash it off before going to sleep."
"There's not much left." Su Yan took a bamboo skewer and poked holes in the smoked sausage.
After another half hour or so of busy work, it was all done and hung in front of the stove door to dry, so that it can be smoked tomorrow.
Su Yan put the pig's blood and internal organs on the chopping board in the cabinet and would do them again when she got up.
Her waist really hurt now, and she couldn't help but pinch it twice.
Qin An naturally saw it, washed his hands and came over, bent down to rub her waist, and said with a sullen face: "Don't be brave next time, I'm still at home."
