Zhao Liushi added,""Your uncle knows porcelain. He said that the fish-shaped plate and bowl are rare and have a collection value. That's why he sent them to us! However, we are tenant farmers of floating tourists. If we work hard all year round and can eat our fill, then it's already Amitabha. What's the use of collecting plates and bowls to make antiques?”
As Zhao Liushi spoke, she suddenly became interested and giggled,""Your uncle said that big white porcelain bowls and fish-shaped plates are rare. Mother used rare things to serve food for my child. I want you to be healthy as soon as possible!”
Zhao Zhen's eyes were wet with tears. He then laughed loudly and waved his arms and legs."Mother, Yuanzi has already recovered! Do you think I can go up the mountain to fight a tiger with my hands and feet?”
Zhao Zhen didn't want to be called by his nickname, Duoduo, so he called himself Yuanzi. As he spoke, he somersaulted a few times in the middle of the courtyard and began to show off his fists and feet.
Zhao Liushi was shocked. How could she believe that this was her son, Toto? After Toto's Phoenix's Rebirth, his appetite had increased greatly. He could even practice some martial arts. Did God open his eyes?
Zhao Liushi's tears flowed down her cheeks. Over the years, she and her husband, Zhao Shiniu, had rented 100 mu of land from Minister Wei. The government had sent people to measure it and said that it was 130 mu. According to the 130 mu of land, they had to pay taxes. Just this alone was one-third more than in previous years.
After renting 100 pieces of land and splitting the harvest with Minister Wei, the remaining grain should have been enough for a family of three to eat for a year. However, after the tax increase, they had to eat grain for two months a year, and in time, they would have to bear the usury.
Zhao Shiniu and Zhao Liushi only had one son, so they were thin. They wanted to have a few more children, but they didn't dare to increase their population due to the days of food.
His son, Toto, had been revived after drowning on the road to gather firewood. After his resurrection, Toto not only had a much larger appetite, but he also used his fists and feet. If the Wei family servants who urged for food and money came to bully them again, Toto's fists and feet were enough to make them suffer.
The more Zhao Liushi thought about it, the happier she became. She hugged Zhao Zhen tightly in her arms and shouted," Toto kitty!"
"Mother, I want a lot of big white porcelain bowls and fish-shaped plates!" Zhao Zhen said excitedly.”
Zhao Zhen pushed Zhao Liushi away as he spoke. He took the fish-shaped plate and the big white porcelain bowl into the kitchen to wash them. He found a bamboo basket and placed it inside."Mother, uncle is right. These two things are rare and can't be used as rice bowls and dishes anymore!”
As soon as Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he saw his father, Zhao Shiniu, leading a thin man into the underground courtyard from the gentle slope.
Zhao Zhen greeted Zhao Shiniu with "Daddy". Zhao Shiniu picked Zhao Zhen up and said,"Duoduo is much more energetic after sleeping for a night! Father told your Uncle Wei about what happened yesterday on the way!”
The thin man whom Zhao Shiniu addressed as Uncle Wei stared at Zhao Zhen with a pair of mysterious eyes. When Zhao Zhen saw his sneaky eyes, she felt that this person was not a good person.
Floating tenants rented the houses and caves of the Wei family. As long as they paid the rent on time, the owner of the livestock and poultry would not interfere.
The problem was that when the pigs and sheep were fattened and slaughtered, they had to send no less than 10 catties of fresh meat to the Wei family.
This was called the "decapitation tax". Even though the beheading tax was not included in the tax system of the Song Dynasty, in Baihe County, all the floating tenants knew about this "tax".
The thin man stared at Zhao Zhen a few times. He saw that he was still a teenager, but his height was not much different from his father, Zhao Shiniu. His eyes were bright and bright, emitting an unfathomable light.
The skinny man's heart trembled slightly. He laughed sinisterly and said,"Drowned in the river and came back to life. Could your kid be…"
The thin man did not say the words "fox demon", but Zhao Zhen had already guessed what he was going to say. He was very angry.
Zhao Zhen did not flare up. He took a few steps closer to Zhao Shiniu and asked,"Daddy, who is he? What are you doing here?"
"He is Uncle Wei!" "Uncle Wei is a gelding," Zhao Shiniu said hurriedly."Father invited him to geld the black sow that can't be beaten!"”
Zhao Zhen was shocked. Slaughtering pigs and gelding sheep was his profession. He had only been in this world for a day, and he had already encountered a " lime seller." He did not know if he was happy or sad!
The gelding that Zhao Shiniu called Uncle Wei was called Wei Amao. Just by hearing this name, one could tell how powerful he was.
Wei Amao and Wei Wei, the councilor of Qingyang Village, were from the same clan. Wei Wei relied on his godfather Cai Jing's power to run amok in Baihe County, and his family was very big.
Wei Amao was reduced to a craftsman who slaughtered pigs and sheep. Such a huge contrast fulfilled an old saying: "If you want to make a fortune, destroy your neighbors first."
Wei Wei bullied Wei Amao, but Wei Amao treated Wei as an adult, a clan leader, and respected him.
Zhao Zhen looked at Cat Wei in surprise. He saw that this old man was in his fifties and was as thin as a stick, like a walking skeleton.
The old skeleton could take down a big black pig that weighed more than a hundred pounds? Endless doubts rose in Zhao Zhen's heart.
" One minute on stage is ten years of hard work off stage." When Zhao Zhen was in primary school at the space-time door, he would go to the village with his father to geld pigs and sheep during the winter and summer holidays.
As his father displayed his skills, he told Zhao Zhenzuo about the techniques and saber techniques of subduing pigs and sheep.
Gelding pigs and sheep was a skill that combined skill and physical strength. It was impossible without skill and physical strength.
The gelding uses a sharp blade to open the ram's genitals| Take off your orchids| Pill, let it break the dust root and focus on growing its body.
Ewes usually wouldn't suffer from this. Pigs were different. As long as they weren't kept as breeding pigs, regardless of gender, they had to suffer this knife.
The boar was easy to deal with, but the sow was different. He did not cut anything after opening the cavity. Instead, he found a place to ligate it and then suture it.
Pigs that didn't suffer from this knife not only wouldn't eat well after four months, but they would also become coquettish and squeak all day long.
Not only did the pig's body not grow long, but the meat also had a nasty smell that could not be removed.
Zhao Shiniu had bought this black sow to give birth, but it didn't work after being circled several times. When it grew into a big pig weighing more than 100 pounds, he had no choice but to sell it.
Wei Amao took off the cloth bag that was used to store tools from his waist and placed it on the ground. He stared at Zhao Shiniu with his yellow eyes and said,""Brother Zhao, we agreed on the castration fee of 50 yuan on the way here. If you go back on your word, it's not too late!”
Zhao Zhen was taken aback. He knew that one coin in the Song Dynasty was equivalent to one yuan in modern times. 50 coins was 50 wen, which was equivalent to 50 yuan in the future.
Zhao Zhen was castrating the pigs at the space-time rift. A 100-pound sow would cost at most 20 yuan, and Wei Ah-Mao was more than twice as expensive as Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen couldn't hold back his anger and shouted,"Father, 50 yuan is more than that…"
"What nonsense are you spouting? 50 yuan is not a lot. 80 yuan for such a big sow isn't much, but for the sake of the villagers, you're missing 30 yuan and you're biting Lu Dongbin!”Wei Ah-Mao interrupted Zhao Zhen's rambling with disdain,""This is the price. If you don't want to pay 50 yuan, I'll leave immediately!”
Zhao Shiniu saw that Zhao Zhen had angered Wei Amao, so he hurriedly put on a smile and said softly,""Brother Wei, don't be calculative with my child. 50 yuan it is. Let's go to the pigsty to catch pigs!”
Seeing that Zhao Shiniu had not changed his mind, Wei Amao glared at Zhao Zhen and followed Zhao Shiniu to the pigsty.
The pigsty was in a side kiln at the entrance. Wei Ah Mao remembered that he didn't bring a pig knife after walking halfway, so he returned and took it out from the cloth bag. He put it in his mouth and hurriedly followed.
After taking away the butcher knife, there were only hooks, needles, thread, support frame, knife, gun, and medicine left in the kit…
Zhao Zhen looked at it and thought,'There's a difference of 800 to 900 years between this side of the space-time rift and the other side, but the tools used to slaughter pigs and sheep haven't changed much…'
Just as Zhao Zhen was thinking, the black sow in the pigsty cave started screaming.
Looking up, his father and Wei Amao were trying their best to capture the big black pig. However, this beast was a tiger, a leopard, and a lion. It was jumping up and down. Zhao Shiniu and Wei Amao could not do anything to it.
Zhao Shiniu was tall and strong, and Wei Amao was not short either. Both of them were more than 180 centimeters tall.
The two 180-meter tall men were being toyed around by the big black pig. They did not have any temper at all. Wei Ah-Mao cursed and cursed anxiously. His skeleton body kept pouncing, but he was knocked over by the big black pig again and again.
After the big black boar knocked over Tong Amao and Zhao Shiniu, who had captured it, it retreated to a corner and glared at them.
The beast recognized Zhao Shiniu as its master, but it knew very well that the skeleton old man with the pig knife in his mouth was the killer.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't catch the big black pig, Wei Amao used a " rogue " method. He held the pig knife in his hand and planned to stab the animal before castrating it.
Wei Amao inched towards the big black pig, and when he got close, the big black pig pushed him up and knocked him out of the iron gate.
The iron gate wasn't high. After being knocked out by the big black pig, Wei Ah Mao's body fell heavily at the entrance of the pigsty. The pig-cutting knife in his right hand didn't have time to turn around and stabbed his left palm, causing blood to drip…
