After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 5: Going to the city to get a high-paying job——butchering pigs

Zhu Jiangjiang walked for nearly an hour, and finally saw the shadow of Jiangnan Town.

Jiangnan Town is a small town that is run through by a river from north to south, but it is not so much a town as it is a slightly larger village.

Looking from the outside of the city, most of the buildings that catch the eye are still mud tile houses, only a few slightly larger inns and taverns are two or three-story buildings with green brick and wooden roofs.

Sure enough, it was a backward ancient time, and the prosperity may only belong to the legendary capital city.

Zhu Jiangjiang was about to go into the city to have a look, but before he took two steps, he heard a commotion from the river on the left.

"The pig has run away, get out of the way!"

"Hey, brat, here we go again, you can't even kill a pig, why sell pork, the water is dirty, how can you wash your clothes..."

A few women were washing clothes by the river at the gate of the city, and a young man was butchering a pig downstream.

The boy stabbed the pig in the neck, and the pig was not dead, but ran wildly, disturbing the women washing clothes upstream.

As soon as Zhu Jiangjiang turned her head, before she could see clearly, the bloody pig rushed towards her.

The current situation did not give Zhu Jiangjiang a chance to react at all. She almost subconsciously jumped up on the spot, turned over and rode on the pig's back, drew her knife and stabbed hard.

She was killed by a knife, the pig fell, and she fell too.

The boy chasing the pig and the women washing clothes by the river froze in place, staring at her with their mouths wide open.

"She, she killed the pig with one knife?"

Everyone seemed surprised.

But Zhu Jiangjiang didn't have time to explain, and shouted to the boy who was chasing after him: "Bring the basin quickly, I can't cover the bleeding mouth!"

The boy was startled by her roar, and hurried forward, dragging the pig and her to the river, "It's okay, just put the blood in the water and wash it away."

"Rush away?"

Zhu Jiangjiang looked up in shock, "You don't want this blood?"

"What do you want it for?" The boy responded to her with the same expression.

"..."

Pig blood is such a good thing, they don't eat it?

An idea suddenly flashed in Zhu Jiangjiang's mind. She really didn't expect that she would find a chance to make a fortune before entering the city.

Because the butcher didn't prepare a basin for the pig's blood, Zhu Jiangjiang could only watch helplessly as the pig was drained of blood in the water, what a pity!

"Miss, have you ever learned how to butcher a pig?"

Just as she was clutching her heart and feeling sorry, the boy who was waiting for the pig's blood to dry came over to say hello to her.

"I haven't learned it before, but I can, can't you?" Zhu Jiangjiang looked up and down the boy in front of him.

Judging by his attire and strong physique, he should be a professional pig butcher. Why is his technique so poor?

The young man scratched his head embarrassingly under her gaze, smiled innocently, and said: "My father knows how, but my father suddenly became ill and he couldn't move before he taught me, that's why pigs run."

After all, a woman washing clothes by the river joked loudly, "No, if Lao Niu knew that you hadn't left the stall yet, he would get out of bed angrily."

There are only two pig-killing households in Jiangnan Town, one in the north of the city and one in the south of the city.

The innocent young man in front of him was killing pigs and selling meat in the south of the city.

But since the old pig butcher fell ill, the opening time of the butcher shop in the south of the city was often late, and people who bought meat in the south of the city often complained.

He couldn't help it before, but now, he has an idea.

"Girl, why don't you help me butcher a pig? I'll pay you." Although it was embarrassing for a girl to butcher a pig for him, there was really nothing he could do.

If he didn't open the stall earlier, his regular customers would go to the north of the city to buy meat.

salary? !

Zhu Jiangjiang's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a salary, "How much salary do you pay?"

If she has wages to get it, she can still consider it, and when the pig is slaughtered, she can also get the pig's blood!

"My family basically kills a pig every day. During the autumn harvest, we may kill two or three pigs a day. How about I give you ten coins for killing a pig?"

Zhu Jiangjiang has no concept of currency value in this era.

In memory, the original owner worked hard, and in the end all the money was given to Zhu's family, and she didn't spend a penny at all.

However, judging from the reactions on the faces of the women by the river, the wages offered by the man in front of him seemed reasonable.

If killing a pig a day can earn ten cash, that would be three cash a month. Compared with "Wulin Biography", she is considered a high salary, right?

"Okay, I promise you!"

Zhu Jiangjiang only thought about it for a while before agreeing, "But I have a condition. When killing pigs, can you give me all the things you don't want?"

"Success!" The man agreed very readily.

In the following time, Zhu Jiangjiang followed the man and dealt with the pig together with him.

During the chat, she learned that the man's surname is Niu, and his name is Niu Dong.

When slaughtering pigs, in addition to pig blood, large and small intestines and pig stomachs are also unnecessary.

Niu Dong said: Those sewers were stained with dirty things and could not be sold, so he usually took them out and buried them.

When he heard this, Zhu Jiangjiang was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. This is a waste of money!

Forget it, as long as she is here in the future, these treasures will not be ruined again.

After making an appointment with Niu Dong to go to the city to slaughter pigs every day, Zhu Jiangjiang went to the city with him to recognize the stall.

After identifying the booth, she still wanted to go for a stroll in the city to see if there were other opportunities, but she was helplessly covered with pig blood just now.

It was scary, so she didn't go again, but took the free pig she got today into the water and went back.

As soon as Zhu Jiangjiang returned to the village, he was surrounded by villagers who were digging wild vegetables in the field.

Seeing the blood on her body and the things in her hands, everyone showed distressed expressions at the same time.

"This is too much for the Zhu family. The pigs are all told to be killed by you, but you are not willing to cut some meat for you to bring back to eat. It is really hard for my sister-in-law."

Everyone in the village thought that Zhu Jiangjiang had returned to her natal family today.

The new daughter-in-law went back to her mother's house, but her son-in-law was not around her. She must be very uncomfortable at Zhu's house today.

Seeing that everyone misunderstood, Zhu Jiangjiang could only helplessly laugh, "This... is actually something I got from killing pigs for others in the city. I didn't go back to my mother's house."

She thought that she might have to go to the city to slaughter pigs every day in the future, and she couldn't hide it, so she didn't put the things she brought back into the space.

Who knows, let everyone misunderstand.

"What?"

Sure enough, when the villagers heard this, they all looked at her in shock, and at the same time stepped back, with unnatural expressions on their faces.

"It turns out that's the case. Then, sister-in-law, you should go back quickly. We won't bother you if we have something else to do."

After all, everyone dispersed in a rush, and turned their heads to look at her with strange eyes while walking.

I wish Jiangjiang could know what they were thinking from their eyes. Everyone must be thinking: How sad is her life, so she eats that kind of food.

Because in their eyes, eating that is no different from eating pig manure directly.
