Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Saturday, slaughterhouse.

"Yes, there is improvement compared to yesterday. If you practice a little more, you will basically be able to reach the normal level of a slaughterer!"

Xiang Yunduan smiled at his luck, and then said to Wang Shitou who was slaughtering the fat pig.

When he went to work in the morning, he slaughtered three fat pigs himself. In the afternoon, he stopped doing it. He only gave instructions from the side and directed Wang Shitou and Zhang Dahe to do the work.

If you want to become an official butcher, it is not enough to just kill pigs. You must learn to cut pigs, and the speed must be fast, and the meat must be as complete as possible, and piecemeal pieces will not work.

In order to gain more luck in the future, Xiang Yunduan must teach more apprentices and strive to make all of these apprentices official slaughterers.

So now he takes time to teach Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang every day when he goes to work.

There is still half a year until the worker grading assessment at the end of the year, and he will try to train a few more apprentices within this half year.

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as the slaughterhouse got off work, Xiang Yunduan didn't even return to the courtyard. He directly rode on his newly acquired bicycle and rushed to Liangjiazhuang.

This time I finally don’t have to squeeze in the bus to go home.

He pedaled very fast on the road. In addition to wanting to go home early, he also wanted to test the strength of this bicycle.

The result is quite ideal.

After this bicycle has been strengthened, its performance is much more powerful than ordinary bicycles. Not only has it become more durable, but it is also quite comfortable.

We set off at six o'clock, and by around eight o'clock, Xiang Yunduan had already arrived home.

This speed is faster than taking a bus.

The buses these days are not very good on the one hand, and the roads are not good on the other hand. In addition, there are passengers getting on and off the bus, so they have to stop from time to time, so the speed is not very fast.

It is not a fantasy that riding a bicycle is faster than taking a bus.

It was just after eight o'clock in the evening, and the Xiang family had not rested yet. Today was the first day of summer harvest. They had just returned home from the fields, washed themselves, and were ready to start cooking dinner.

"Woof woof woof~"

Xiang Yunduan was greeted by two dogs, Huzi and Hua Niu. As soon as he entered the village, the dog playing at the gate saw him and ran over to him wagging his tail from a distance.

"The boss is back!"

In the yard, the whole family was there. When they saw Xiang Yunduan pushing a bicycle in, his father, Xiang Chuanzong, was a little surprised and asked: "Boss, is this bicycle?"

"I bought a second-hand car mainly to make it more convenient for commuting to get off work and going home!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Oh my god, this car isn't cheap, how much does it cost?"

The old woman who was cooking in the kitchen heard the noise and ran out.

"It's not expensive, seventy yuan!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"That's not expensive!"

Xiang Chuanzong nodded, there were bicycles in the village, but there was only one, and it belonged to the Party Secretary's family. Did he know that the Party Secretary's family's bike cost more than 100 yuan.

And looking at the car that my son bought, except that it is a little older, it is better than the party secretary's car in other aspects. This car has a basket and headlights.

"That's not right, boss, where did you get the money to buy a bicycle? Didn't you say you wanted to find a job for Longlong? What? Is the job a thing?"

Liang Honghua suddenly reacted and asked worriedly.

He didn't doubt that Xiang Yunduan gave up his planning job to buy a bicycle, but he was just worried that something had happened at work.

After hearing Liang Honghua's words, the eyes of several people nearby were all questioning, especially Xiang Yunlong, who looked anxious.

Since his eldest brother left last week, he has been thinking about work, worried about gains and losses, for fear of any bad news. Seeing this situation now, he can imagine.

"It's not dirty, it's basically done. When I come back this time, I want to take Longlong into the city. On Monday next week, I'll go to the factory to go through the formalities. Deputy Director Cui said it himself, there won't be anything." Problem." Xiang Yunduan said quickly, not wanting to worry his family.

"Ah? Did it really succeed? You didn't lie to your mother, did you?" Liang Honghua almost jumped up with excitement after hearing what her eldest son said.

Although I knew the boss was reliable, I was still very surprised to learn the definite news.

"Brother, I... can I really become a worker? I... thank you, brother!"

Xiang Yunlong was also very happy. He grabbed his eldest brother's arm and couldn't contain his excitement.

"How can I thank you? You are my brother. We are brothers. If I don't help you, who will I help?" Xiang Yunduan patted his brother on the shoulder and said.

"Boss, didn't you give a gift to Deputy Director Cui? Or did you only give a little? Didn't you say that honey can only be sold for one or two hundred yuan? You bought a bicycle now, how much is left? "

The family was happy for a while, and then Liang Honghua hurried into the kitchen to take care of the food. Xiang Chuanzong asked her doubts.

"Hey, speaking of this, there is a story!"

Xiang Yunduan had already thought about how to explain to his family that he couldn't talk about the gold now, so he could only make up another story.

"After I sold the honey that day, I was preparing to give gifts. Although I planned to give money, I had to bring some gifts when I came to visit, right?

I just happened to pass by a shop selling medicinal wine, so I went in, thinking about buying a few kilograms of medicinal wine to take with me. But I didn’t bring the bottle when I bought the wine. There happened to be no bottles in the store. In the end, I had no choice but to take it with me. A porcelain bottle on the counter that usually holds a feather duster was used, and I was charged a few cents for this bottle.

It was a coincidence. I finished drinking the medicinal wine and was walking back with the duster bottle in my arms. I was going to find a glass wine bottle and put the medicinal wine in it to give as gifts. An old man walked towards me on the street and stopped me. Come down.

The old man also poked his nose, pretending to be attracted by the smell of wine, and then insisted on dragging me to buy the medicinal wine.

Of course I don't sell it, and the store selling medicinal wine is not far away, so I told the man to go to the store to buy wine, but the man hesitated and wanted to buy wine from me, and said He asked me to sell him the porcelain bottle containing the wine, and he was willing to pay ten yuan.

I'm not stupid, and I quickly realized that this guy didn't want to buy wine, but wanted to buy a bottle of wine.

Later, I took the duster bottle to an antique shop in Liulichang and asked the master there to identify it. Hey, guess what?

That duster vase is really an antique. The master said it was called the square-eared blue and white landscape duster vase. It was from the Kangxi period and the early Qing Dynasty. Although it was not an official kiln, the price was not low and could be worth several hundred yuan.

I thought, what a coincidence, why don't I just give this duster bottle to Deputy Director Cui?

Just like that, I came to the door with a duster, but Deputy Director Cui didn't know antiques, and he wasn't good at it. I thought Mingzhu was secretly interested in it, but I didn't expect that Deputy Director Cui and his father-in-law were very good at this.

Later, the bottle arrived in the hands of Deputy Director Cui and his father-in-law. Deputy Director Cui said that his father-in-law was very happy after getting the duster bottle and even praised him.

No, because of this, Longlong’s matter became a thing! "
