Qin Yu's third uncle was in another village in the town. Qin Yu's family drove two cars for about 20 minutes to get there. However, before Qin Yu and the others could get closer, they saw a group of people in the third village.
A circle formed in front of my uncle's house.
These people came to see the pigs being killed, or to buy some pork after the pigs were killed.
Rural people raise pigs. In addition to getting some pork for their families at the end of the year to celebrate the New Year, most of them are sold. A pig weighing 200 pounds can sell for tens of thousands of yuan except for a few cuts of pork.
.
This was good. In the past, Qin Yu remembered that when he was a child, his third uncle's family was not in a good situation. Although he also raised pigs at that time, he didn't even have any pork left during the Chinese New Year.
Why, because I can’t bear it!
Many people have a wrong view. When they see some farmers, such as sheep herders, they will say to you that mutton must make you want to vomit after eating it. But in fact, except for those large farms, farmers privately
Those farmers are simply reluctant to eat the farmed ones.
Qin Yu once personally met a family that raised chickens. At that time, he followed his mother to buy an old hen to send to a relative who was in confinement. Later, he heard his mother talk to the woman who raised the family and found out that
This family has been raising chickens for more than ten years, raising about thirty chickens a year. However, in these ten years, this family has eaten their own chickens three times, and this was all because these three chickens were sick and dying.
Because of that.
Those who raise silkworms cannot afford to wear silk clothes. The reason is that simple!
When the two cars of Qin Yu's family arrived, they attracted a lot of people's attention. The arrival of two good cars that can be considered luxury cars in this town always attracts so much attention.
Fortunately, Qin Yu, Meng Yao, and Mo Yongxin have long been accustomed to such looks, and Qin's father and Qin's mother also had happy expressions on their faces because they heard the discussion in the crowd.
"Look, this is Lao Qin's family in the next village. This is his son. It is said that he made a lot of money outside. Lao Qin's car was bought by his son."
"I also heard that Lao Qin's son found a wife who is as beautiful as a celebrity. It's true. This Lao Qin's son is really capable, and Lao Qin is also very lucky."
"Who says it's not the case, but the old Qin family has nothing to say, we can't find any fault..."
…
Listening to these people's discussion, Qin's father and Qin's mother were filled with satisfaction. For parents, it makes them happier when others praise their son than to praise them.
"Brother Qin is here, Xiaoyu and you are here."
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man came over. He was the son of Qin Yu's third uncle and the same generation as Qin's father.
"Yeah, I'll buy some offal and ribs later." Father Qin replied with a smile.
"Of course it's no problem. I'll tell the pig butcher soon and ask him to leave one or two more knives."
One knife is ten kilograms, and two more knifes are twenty kilograms. Of course, Father Qin and the others will definitely pay for it.
"Hasn't the killing started yet?" Qin's father was a little confused. It was getting late now. Usually, pig killing starts at five or six o'clock. After the killing is finished, the master who kills the pigs cooks it, and it is almost seven or eight o'clock.
After ordering, if you want to send it to the market to sell, you have to hurry up early.
"Another master in the village has gone out recently, and there is only one master. Three families are looking for him today, and they have been killing him since two o'clock in the morning, so it is too late."
"That's right. That's just in time. We've caught up."
While Father Qin and the others were talking, Qin Yu also held Meng Yao's hand and led Mo Yongxin and Qiaoqiao, while Liu Buyuan and the others approached the crowd.
Qin Yu did not ask Qiaoqiao to avoid him because he wanted to kill a pig, because this was not a show.
Killing a pig is a very common thing for people in the village and even for children, and for children, killing a pig is a very happy thing, because it means they can eat
Delicious pork.
Therefore, it is purely a myth that children will have nightmares and feel uncomfortable after watching a pig being killed.
A minute later, there was movement from the pig pen not far away. Qin Yu knew that the pigs were about to be put out of the slaughter.
After a while, a stout middle-aged man with a black leather apron on his chest appeared. In his right hand, he was holding an iron hook. One end of the iron hook was hooked in the nose of a pig, and then he pulled the pig hard.
Pull outward.
The pig was desperately trying to pull back, and the two were in a stalemate with each other. However, due to the pain of the iron hook hooking its nose, the pig was slowly pulled out in the end.
After pulling the pig out of the pig pen, Qin Yu's third uncle's sons and several other helpers stepped forward and grabbed the pig's four hooves, and then they used their strength to lift the pig onto the bench.
, as for the pig butcher, he still hooked the pig's nose with an iron hook.
"Master, hurry up and bring me the basin."
The pig butcher shouted to Qin Yu's third uncle, and Qin Yu's third uncle's daughter-in-law quickly placed a basin on the pig's head under the bench, because before the pig butcher wanted to kill the pig, he had to first
Bloodletting.
"Qiaoqiao, close your eyes."
At this point, Qin Yu covered his eyes. The scene of blood flowing out was quite shocking.
However, just when Qiaoqiao closed her eyes, something happened at the scene.
Qin Yu's third uncle's two sons seemed to have failed to grasp the pig's trotters, and actually let the pig kick them away. The pig's feet were free, and it suddenly stood upright on the bench.
The pig butcher quickly pressed the iron hook in his hand to pin down the pig. However, maybe knowing that his life was about to be in danger, the pig also exploded at this moment.
Ignoring the pain in his nose, the pig hit the butcher directly. You know how strong a pig is. The butcher stumbled back several meters and sat down after being hit.
He fell to the ground, and the iron hook in his hand had already been released.
Without the restraint of the iron hook, the pig rushed down from the bench, and then rushed directly towards the crowd.
The pig wanted to run, but the people in the crowd didn't dare to stop it, so they all got out of the way. The slower ones were directly knocked down by the pig.
After rushing out of the crowd, the pig was like a rocket at the moment, running wildly in a certain direction and quickly disappearing.
Run, Brother Pig!
Everyone present was dumbfounded. A pig that had already reached the chopping board ran away. They had almost never encountered such a thing.
"Why are you still hanging around? Go chase him."
Qin Yu's third uncle saw his sons standing there stupidly and cursed angrily.
Only then did the third uncle's sons wake up and quickly chased him out. Many people in the crowd also followed him out to watch the fun.
"Today this pig is evil. I have been killing pigs for so many years, and this is the first time I have been knocked down by a pig." The pig butcher also stood up from the ground at this moment. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. He immediately chased after him with an iron hook.
go out.
A group of people went out to chase pigs, but after half an hour, no one came back. During this period, the third uncle received a phone call, and his face suddenly became ugly.
"Third uncle, what's wrong?" Qin's father asked when he saw his third uncle's face turned ugly.
"The pig went to the Lin family, and now the Lin family won't hand it over."
"Why don't you hand it over? This is not their pig."
"They said the pigs trampled their vegetable garden and they wanted compensation!"
"Third uncle, don't worry, let's go over and take a look."
Qin's father comforted his third uncle, and then gave Qin Yu a look. Qin Yu nodded and followed Qin's father towards the outside. As for Meng Yao and Mo Yongxin, they stayed behind.
The Lin family was on the other side of the village. When Qin Yu and his son arrived, the third uncle's eldest son was arguing with the Lin family.
"It's not impossible to return the pig to you. You have to pay for the damage to our vegetable garden first. The wall has been knocked down. I'll give you 3,000 yuan first."
"This wall was not hit by my pig at all. It was clearly hit by your own pig. Please return my pig quickly."
"It was your pig that hit me. If you don't pay compensation, I won't pay you."
"I think you two should stop arguing. We are all from the same village. Let's step back from each other. I think this is it. Aren't your Lin family selling pork? If not, then the Wang family will sell this pig to you. As for the vegetable garden
Let’s just forget about my wife’s compensation.” A man who seemed to be in charge said.
"That's not possible. We have already promised many relatives and villagers, and the pork has been reserved for a long time." Wang Hai, the eldest son of Qin Yu's third uncle, shook his head and refused.
"Bah, it sounds like my family loves your pig so much, so hurry up and pay for it, otherwise you won't be able to take the pig away."
Many people from the Lin family poured out of the yard. Moreover, the Lin family sells pork. If they kill pigs for a long time, they will look like meat. In comparison, Qin Yu's third uncle's side is much weaker.
"Xiao Hai, what's the situation?"
Father Qin and Qin Yu also walked up to Wang Hai at this time, and Father Qin asked directly.
"Brother Qin, the Lin family has gone too far to bully others. They hid our pigs without telling us about them. The fence was obviously broken through by their own pigs, but they insisted on paying compensation for my pigs."
After hearing this, Qin's father and Qin Yu already knew the general situation. Qin Yu looked at the Lin family and thought of more.
The Lin family is in the pork business. The third uncle's killing of pigs will definitely disrupt the village's pork market. The Lin family is definitely not willing to see this happen, so they chose to force the third uncle's family.
Either sell the pig to them or pay compensation.
Qin Yu also saw that the reason why the Lin family dared to do this was because they had more people and were more powerful in the village. However, the third uncle was from outside and had only three sons, but he had no relatives in the village.
