Chapter 150 The mantis stalks the cicada
"I spoke first, so of course it belongs to me!"
"Captain Wang, if you handle it, I'll give you 60%!"
"Seventy percent!"
"I only want 30%!"
...This is what internal circulation is.
Wang Xiaohu didn't expect that so many people would want these things. He underestimated these things and suddenly felt it was a pity to throw them away.
But he was also afraid that if the food they cooked wasn’t tasty enough, they would cause trouble for him.
"No, that won't work. I still have to bury it. If you have any problems after eating it, it won't be my problem." Wang Xiaohu's meaning was very clear. After throwing it away, they will pick it up or dig it up, and it will not be his business if anything goes wrong.
But everyone doesn't think so. They think Wang Xiaohu might have thrown it directly into the toilet because there is no place to bury it nearby. If he buries it too close, it will smell bad, and if he buries it too far away, it will be troublesome.
"I think we should give it to Sha Zhu to make a pig-killing dish and serve it with radishes. Each family will have a large bowl, and I want to give the Wang family two large bowls. What do you think?" Yi Zhonghai walked out at this time. Liu Haizhong was already lying in bed recuperating. Now he had the final say in the courtyard.
Sure enough, everyone thought it was okay when they heard it, and then they all looked at Wang Xiaohu.
"Of course, I can, but I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong with the food. Gentlemen, please bear witness and I will give it to you."
Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui looked at each other and nodded. What could be wrong with eating pig intestines? At most, it would cause diarrhea.
"We agreed."
With the two uncles nodding, Wang Xiaohu saved some effort. He just thought it was troublesome. Pig intestines are delicious if cooked well. He will bring a portion to Zhu Dachang tomorrow to show his appreciation.
……
After being disturbed by the wild boar, Wang Xiaohu decided not to go to Zhang Benchu to look at the furniture. After all, it would be fine to leave it with him for a while after it was finished. They were all relatives.
It's around five o'clock in the evening.
The courtyard began to emit a fragrance, which attracted everyone in the yard. Even Wang Dalu and Wang Xiaolong were so distracted that they had no time to work by the flower beds.
The flower bed walls are built with some broken stones. Of course, cement is too expensive, so only a little yellow mud can be used. Fortunately, the effect is good.
Wang Xiaohu also brought back some soil from outside to cover up his tracks, so that his plants wouldn't grow well and people would say it was impossible because the soil was different.
"We can plant peppers in this square meter. Four pepper trees will be enough for us to eat. We can also plant eggplants and beans. Forget about cabbage. I think cabbage is still cheap. Then we can plant some onions and garlic." Wang Dalu began to plan. After this, only one square meter was left for Wang Xiaohu.
"Then I'll get some grape vine cuttings, and then plant some flowers and plants. If you don't like them, I'll transplant them to my small yard over there."
Wang Xiaohu's small yard is almost ready, with two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen, covering an area of 100 square meters. There is also a small yard of 100 square meters. It is so comfortable.
It’s a pity that there is no bathroom, so I can only use the toilet.
In fact, if it is just decoration, it will be very fast, but it is slower to rebuild the house.
"We like flowers and plants, too. They're just next door, so why move them around? If you want to see them, just come and see." Zhang Hailian came out and said something, then picked up the whetstone and went back to the kitchen. She didn't want Wang Xiaohu to become too unfamiliar with this place in the future, as he liked both of his sons.
Zhang Lanxi had no objection either. She could see that her brother-in-law was the most capable one in the family. He had easily gotten a job. Even though it was just a sweeper, it was still a job.
She knows how hard it is to find a job nowadays. Although doing odd jobs seems to earn as much as sweeping the floor, it is unstable. Sometimes there are no odd jobs for a month, but sweeping the floor can make money regardless of the weather.
"This wild boar meat smells good if it's well prepared." Wang Xiaohu smelled the smell coming from the central courtyard. Sha Zhu's cooking skills are very good. In other words, the more fishy something is, the more fragrant it will smell if it is well prepared.
When the two bowls of pig-killing dishes were brought back, there was still a big gap compared with the stir-fried pork with peppers, cabbage and pork slices, and shredded pork with fish flavor on the table.
"Alas... It's no wonder that Sha Zhu was born to do this. Even if there is a recipe and he teaches you how to make it step by step, your cooking won't be as delicious as his." Zhang Hailian smelled it and was about to pick up a piece of large intestine to taste it when she was stopped by Wang Xiaohu.
"Don't rush to eat it. Let's save it for tomorrow. We've had enough meat and vegetables tonight. Let's see if anyone else has any problems after eating it. If they do, we'll eat it later. Hehe."
Wang Xiaohu was not afraid of any serious problems after eating it. After stewing it for so long, even the poison in the puffer fish would have evaporated. He was just afraid of diarrhea, so it would be safer to wait until others had eaten it and found no problems before eating it.
"That makes sense." Zhang Hailian was stunned for a moment. She had just gone to see how Sha Zhu dealt with the large intestine. All kinds of feces were all over the floor. It was very disgusting. Thinking of this, she lost her appetite.
……
Meat was being stewed in the courtyard, and in the yard next door as well, but not as much. Zhang Dabing licked his teeth and finished more than half a pound of meat in just two bites, still feeling unsatisfied.
Smelling the smell of pig-slaughtering food next door, my mood became worse and worse.
He took out a lunch box from the crack in the wall, which was full of money. This time he was hired to beat Liu Haizhong, and he received fifty yuan from the man. He was thinking of buying two pounds of meat to try, but just as he was about to get up, he sat back down.
He thought about how he had charged someone 100 yuan to put rat poison in the yard. He originally thought it was just a prank and that the rat would not take up much poison and could be saved if he was sent to the hospital quickly. But he didn't expect that there was someone in the yard who could not be rescued. He immediately gave up the idea of buying meat.
If someone found out that he, a jobless single street urchin, suddenly became rich, would they suspect him? He didn't want to go in.
Thinking of this, he endured it and put the lunch box back.
As time went by, Sha Zhu's stew became more and more fragrant, and there were all kinds of laughter, which made Zhang Dabing very angry. You all have wives and children, right? I'll let you eat!
Then he pulled out a cloth bag and took out a small bag of medicine.
"Hey, I'll give you some laxatives to liven up the mood." Zhang Dabing mixed some corn flour and laxatives, then rubbed several of them together. He took out the slingshot he used to commit the crime last time and walked carefully into the alley.
This is the other side of the courtyard of No. 95. Wang Xiaohu is in the small courtyard on the right. He is in the courtyard on the left, close to the inside, so there are not many people.
He climbed up the wall, waited for the right moment, shot seven or eight cornmeal laxatives into the stew pot, and then slipped away.
At this moment, he was in a good mood and was looking forward to watching a good show.
