Chapter 366: Joining the Army - Feishui’s Own Field
There is a butcher shop in Baita Town, Xianju County. Because the shopkeeper is from Shangzhang Township and his surname is Zhang, the name of the butcher shop is Zhangji Butcher Shop. Shopkeeper Zhang was a hunter when he was young, and he was very good at archery.
He has good knife skills. His tracking ability is also very strong. He can judge the time and direction of the animal's movement based on the animal's footprints and feces. Every time he hunts, he rarely returns empty-handed. He is a well-known headhunter. Since he is
Hunters live a life of licking blood from the tip of their swords. Even if they are highly skilled and have fought with ferocious beasts many times, they will inevitably leave many wounds. Once, while hunting a leopard, he was bitten by the leopard in a trapped animal fight.
He grabbed his shoulder and tore off a large piece of flesh. Although it was cured, it still ached a bit on rainy days or winter, which affected his archery skills. He could no longer make a living hunting, but luckily he still had it.
With some savings, Hunter Zhang immigrated to Baita Town at the foot of the mountain, bought a few acres of land, and made a living by farming.
A crop or a flower depends entirely on fertilizer. In ancient times, the main fertilizer was human and animal excrement. Therefore, every household had one or several dedicated cesspits or toilets. During the period of being a hunter, the body was strong, the sexual desire was strong, and symbiotic
They have three sons and two daughters. Because they used up all their savings to buy the land, and they are not good at farm work, the family's life has been tight in the past few years. This hard life has been going on for several years.
Later, the shopkeeper of the butcher shop in the town died of illness. The shopkeeper had several wives, but each wife died due to dystocia. Later, no woman was willing to marry him. Therefore, there was no hope until death.
He was childless. People in the town said that the reason why he lived alone all his life was because he was engaged in the killing business, which damaged his moral character.
This is the only butcher shop in the town. The butcher shop is closed, making life extremely inconvenient for the residents of the town. Hunter Zhang thought about it, he used to make a living by hunting, so why should he be afraid of killing. In addition, he already has three sons and two daughters, so
I didn’t have to worry about being alone for the rest of my life. So I bought this butcher shop and switched to butchering pigs for a living. Because of my hunting skills, I only needed one knife to kill a pig. After one knife, the pig’s howling stopped immediately, and then the blood was bled.
, shaving, disemboweling, and cutting meat, all in one go, as skillfully as a cook cutting an ox. Therefore, people in the town called him Zhang Jie Zhu, but they no longer remembered his real name.
"Zhang Jie Zhu"
The old hunter changed to killing pigs,
One slash, no ambiguity.
Legend has it that there is a butler who handles cattle.
Today I will slaughter several pigs.
The fat pig will no longer howl when you lift it,
Cut the pork ribs into pieces with a knife.
Suddenly the town was in commotion,
Suddenly, pork sales are booming.
Although Zhang Jiezhu's pig-killing skills are high, the town is such a big place and the business is not very developed. In addition, there are often rumors of Jin soldiers coming, people are in turmoil, and not many people can afford pork.
The business was just tepid. Half of the family's income came from the butcher's shop and the other half from the fields.
One day, a big customer came and bought all the meat in the butcher shop. The butcher shop had no meat and was relatively free. Zhang Jiezhu wanted to help his family and do some farm work. When he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw the latrine at the entrance of the village.
Squatting in it was his eldest son, who was defecating with a wink. When Zhang Jiezhu saw it, he was so angry that this pit was not his own! The crops depended entirely on fattening. When I killed the pigs, I
Not afraid of dirt and smell, he kept the pig hair and manure in the pig bucket as fertilizer. This little rabbit actually took the good fertilizer into someone else's pit. He hurriedly pulled out a big toe from the firewood pile next to him.
He picked up the thick bamboo and ran towards his eldest son. When the eldest son saw him running over in a menacing manner, he was so frightened that he didn't even have time to wipe his stool, so he picked up his pants and ran away.
The guests were surprised. It was just a piece of shit. Do you deserve to beat your son for it? You don’t understand the hardships of ancient farmers. In ancient times, unlike modern times, there were all kinds of chemical fertilizers. The only fertilizer in the fields was
All kinds of feces and urine. Although their family has a pork shop, they don’t make much money. There are many people and little land. How can you not be angry when you see your son like this?
There was a reason why the eldest son pooped in other people's latrines. Because he was hungry, and there happened to be someone in the latrine at home, so he couldn't wait. But seeing his father's fierce look, he couldn't tolerate his explanation at all, so he ran away first.
Jin Huabin introduced to the guests what he saw with his own eyes when he was a child. In the 1980s, a neighbor, nicknamed Xiaofanshu, was already a junior high school student and was chased all over the floor by his father for doing the same thing.
Running is still mentioned by everyone to this day. After saying that, he continued: "All the vegetables in our vegetable garden are absolutely green and organic vegetables, and they are completely watered with manure."
After hearing this, the guest laughed awkwardly a few times. He held up his chopsticks, not knowing whether to extend or retract them.
After pausing for a while, he said: "Let's have a meat dish, a portion of Han Zhongli pork in a bowl."
This dish is simple to make, but it is time-consuming and takes several hours. When the time is up, a bowl of meat is served. It is a large square bowl with a sign saying:
"Rui Partridge, Zhongli Turns the Bowl of Meat"
This recipe is passed down by Zhongli Chuan, and the meat is called five-flowered and six-minute lean. Pour oil into the pot, stir-fry the sugar until brown, add four tablespoons of it and it tastes very delicious.
Add the soup to each piece of pork, add it to the steamer and steam it. Steam it over medium and slow fire for two hours until the fire subsides. The meat melts in your mouth and is completely crispy.
While the guest stretched out his chopsticks, Jin Huabin continued the previous story. The butcher looked ferocious and chased his son. There was no way he could escape from this beating. The son had no choice but to keep running towards the town, shouting for help while running away. They all said sticks.
Next came the filial son, and it turned out that the person chasing him was his father. There were many people watching the excitement in the town, but few came to dissuade him. Because of the crowd, the running speed slowed down, and the distance between the two became closer and closer.
Just as they were about to catch up, a man came out from the middle of the road. He had big eyes, a red face, a fan in his hand, and his breasts exposed. He looked cheerful. He also slapped his big belly with the fan from time to time to show his leisure.
The plump and laughing man looked a bit like Maitreya Buddha, but he was not bald, but had his hair in a bun with his beard extending over his belly. He stopped him and said, "Buddha Amitayus, transform yourself into a piece of meat for the donor."
He was not a monk, but he called him Buddha and asked for alms. He asked for meat. Butcher Zhang pushed him away and said, "Go, go, I don't have any meat here."
"You have it in your shop." He said cheerfully: "Once flesh and blood are separated, there will be no regrets."
Seeing what he said was weird, the people watching the excitement cheered: "Don't be stingy, go to the shop and get the meat."
It was a trivial matter for his son, but people in the audience said he was stingy. Butcher Zhang lost his temper and said, "Follow me to the butcher's shop. You will be the one to take it."
Everyone followed him to the shop, opened the door, and saw that the chopping board was empty. Just as they were about to make a fuss, the Maitreya Buddha pointed at the chopping board and said, "Isn't this? After he said that, he picked out a little bit of minced flesh."
Is this pork belly? Butcher Zhang said angrily and funny: "I'll give it to you. I hope you can eat it to your heart's content."
The man pointed at the piece of meat and sang crazily:
"Zhongli Song"
I often hear that life is miserable,
Come down the mountain and take a walk.
Always carry a jug of wine while sitting or lying down,
Don’t teach your eyes to recognize the imperial capital.
There are many unknown surnames in the universe,
One of the evacuees was a husband.
As small as a eldest lady,
Cross it with mercy.
After singing, the minced meat on the chopping board slowly turned into a two-pound pork belly under the eyes of everyone.
