"What did I say wrong?" Zhou Jianjun was baffled. 'I've only been saying nice things, so why is my father-in-law acting like this?'
Just then, the sound of wheels grinding on the ground could be heard as someone dragged a large scale out from the cafeteria's storehouse.
Back in those days, these kinds of platform scales weren't electronic. They had a horizontal beam with a graduated ruler, and you hung counterweights on one end.
The scale had wheels underneath, so it could be pulled around.
Two more people followed, one of them carrying an iron ladder that was about two meters tall.
'How big was that scale, anyway?'
If you put the wild boar on it, its head and rear would still be on the ground. How could you get an accurate weight?
So, they laid the two iron ladders horizontally across the scale and then lifted the wild boar onto them. This way, the boar's body wouldn't touch the ground.
