The mason and his son thought that they could save more than ten yuan. It was like they had found a bargain. They were going to the butcher's house to see how the pig was.

The mason will buy a whole pig as soon as he buys it. He is a big customer at the market. He has no intention of setting up a stall. He closed the stall early and took the customer home to see the pig.

The butcher's family is located in a small village near the town. It is located on a slope. An old house that can block the wind and rain faces north and south. The east side of the yard is surrounded by straw to form a fence, and some fruits and vegetables are planted every spring. On the west side is a low wall made of loess. A small shed is simply built, which is the pigpen in the home.

In addition to the six big pigs in the pen, there is also a litter of small piglets, and the meat is scattered into a ball. Although the pigs in the pen are picking up bargains, the fat pigs in the pen cannot be adulterated.

"My pigs are all here. When I have nothing to do, I will run on the mountain for two laps. The meat is absolutely tight. Except for the sows with cubs, you can choose whatever you want." The butcher said readily.

The mason and his son were looking at the door of the pigpen. This one was better than that, and that one looked better than this, and the quality was good.

The two were hesitant and had different opinions. The butcher's wife brought two benches and two bowls of sugar water to let the two choose slowly.

The butcher was quite confident about his own pigs. In addition, Wu Daguang explained in advance, so he took the pigs to the ground in advance, making them look whiter than other pigs.

The meat used in key occasions should be carefully searched.

After a while, I finally decided on the most lively pig.

This trip was not a reservation, but a purchase was made directly. The mason paid the money and reached an agreement to take the pig to the mason's house to kill. The reason is that the pig is full of treasures, and the mason is reluctant to waste a little.

The butcher drove his own ox cart and took the pig to the mason in the town.

The last wave of customers from Wu Daguang came to see him off, and happened to catch Erlaizi delivering food to the factory. The two of them cleaned up the stall and pulled the cart to the mason's house. They needed the stall to cook, so they had to set up a place to cook early to avoid being busy that day.

The mason's family is in the town. The standard large tiled houses in the town are necessary. The girls in the town do not have large tiled houses or tractors, and people will not even look at you. If the girl in the village marrys the town, the villagers will unanimously believe that the girl is lucky.

Wu Daguang set up the stove, boiled a large pot of boiling water for the pig slaughter, and then went to see the pig slaughter scene with Er Laizi.

The pig seemed to know his fate. From getting off the car, he resisted desperately, and the wailing from a pig echoed in the whole town. The sound made people's hearts tremble.

Killing pigs is a job of hard work. The masoner hired seven or eight strong men to control a pig. The butcher tied the pig's dead hooves with hemp ropes. Seven or eight people worked together to carry the pig onto the prepared table and suppress it.

At this time, the butcher showed a pig-killing knife. Without hesitation, he stabbed it hard. The pig-killing knife stabbed into the pig's neck. The skillful butcher pointed it at the main artery and cut it.

The moment the knife was pulled out, thick blood gushed out, and the butcher took the bucket and took the pig blood flowing out.

The pig did not stop resisting. The last life, coupled with the stimulation of pain, caused it to burst out all its strength to struggle, break free from suppression, and roll and fall to the ground.

However, the major artery was cut off and stood up forcibly, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"It's okay, lift the table and let blood." The butcher said no mercy at all. Maybe he had it before.

Then, a pot of boiling water burned by Wu Daguang was used to shave, open the hair, remove the internal organs, and divide them. The pig head, pig tail and four hooves worship ancestors according to local customs.

Throughout the afternoon, Wu Daguang's mobile stove did not stop burning. The meat was cooked for a long time. He made the meat one day in advance and then used this natural refrigerator in winter to keep it fresh, so as not to be in a hurry tomorrow and save the owner's trouble.

The stewed meat is made of firewood, so you don’t have to keep guarding it. When you are free, the masons will invite everyone to come into the house to warm up.

"My son got married and bought a black box from the county town that could be used for people and went into the house to take a look." When talking about the black box that could be used for people, the mason said it was proud.

Everyone entered the room and placed a black box on the cabinet in the middle of the room. There were also incomprehensible twists on the black box.

"What's this?" Someone looked at the black box freshly.

Wu Daguang walked at the end and saw the black box, he knew that this was a black and white TV for the rest of his life. This black and white TV needed an antenna to receive signals. The most impressive thing is that when the signal was bad, he could hang a piece of meat on the TV.

Such a TV is a rare object in the town. The town is just a village with a larger population and more mobile. People in the mountains only opened electricity two years ago, and they were reluctant to use it after they were turned on. Not to mention that there was no TV, they couldn't bear to use anything that used electricity. TVs are new in the mountains. The older generation has never even heard of it, and their knowledge is still on the radio.

The mason's son is very proud to turn on his TV. Journey to the West is playing on the TV, which is a scene of three fights against the White Bone Demon.

Erlaizi's big head was wandering in front of the TV, and this black box that could put people in was fresh, really fresh.

"What's the name of this black box? There are people inside, it's so beautiful." Erlaizi praised.

"This is...yes..." The mason did not seem to remember the name of the TV.

"Dad, it's a TV." The mason's son reminded.

"Yes, yes, it's a TV. You can watch it when you turn it on. I heard from the people in the county that there is a Spring Festival party every year." The bricklayer's vanity was satisfied.

That's right, TVs have been available in early years, but this place is not popular in remote mountainous areas. Even if it is popular, it is reluctant to spend money to buy an entertainment item.

Thorny ~

The signal is unstable, causing the picture to appear in the shape of rice flowers.

"What's going on? Did we watch the TV badly?" Er Laizi was frightened. He didn't expect the TV to be so careless.

The mason's son was also frightened and hurriedly checked the TV. However, it was a household appliance. He watched his own TV twice, and only watched it for five minutes last time without any accident. How could it break this time?

Wu Daguang saw at a glance that there was a problem with the TV signal. He walked to the TV and patted the TV box, which shocked everyone present.

Just as the mason's son was about to express his dissatisfaction, the picture was slowly restored on TV.

"We are in a place, and the signal reception is unstable. The higher the antenna outside, the better. This object of the TV will lose its temper even if it's okay." Wu Daguang said with a smile.

"You know a lot." Someone praised.

Erlaizi interrupted like he was praised, "That's right, let alone a small TV, my brother Guang knows a lot about the big world outside."

"What do I know? I just saw them doing this when I went to the neighboring town to go to the market." Wu Daguang said.
