<< review queue entry 71780 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> There are plenty of variations on this phrase, but 张屠夫/户 and *毛猪 seems to be the constant. https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/18889284.html : 过去集市上有个张屠夫，在这片区域是独一户的卖猪肉的，横行霸道惯了，缺斤少两强买强卖都是家常便饭之事，因为作为独一户有恃无恐，而且当地都是善良的百姓，也没有鲁提辖这样的人来教训他。 这张屠夫不但嚣张跋扈，而且还不断地对人灌输这样的思想，那就是只有我张屠夫在，你们才能够有肉吃，坏人都是自有天谴，这张屠夫坏事做尽，年纪不大便一命呜呼，也是奇了怪，这张屠夫翘翘之后，集市上面不但没有缺少肉卖，反而多了好几家肉铺，不但价格公平，而且质量相当的好。 干干净净的没有猪毛的猪肉，和张屠夫的不干不净的有天壤之别，这也是很多人在张屠夫的淫威之下，不敢和他争强生意，张屠夫一挂，自然就开始打理生意，不但卖肉的更多，肉也相当的好，比张屠夫确实强出好多倍，大家也能吃上无毛猪了。 另外一种说法叫做：死了张屠夫，要吃有毛猪 这是另外一种反转的说法，那就是张屠夫为人处世之道相当不错，而且对于肉摊打理，那更是精益求精，肉都是干干净净不带猪毛的，随着张屠夫的去世，这不带毛的猪肉这就没有了，市场上所售的猪毛，都是不干不净猪毛都拔不干净的肉，也是对于张屠夫的一种怀念之情。 其实这种民间说法，对于很多事情都很适用，有的是做得很好，离开你之后，确实是再也达不到那样的水平，而另外一种则是做得相当的不好，离开之后不但不会怀念，反而是一种早就该消失的实情。 ----------------------------------------- Editor: Yes, lots of variations. Here's one that contains neither 张屠夫/户 nor 毛猪, along with its definition: 没了王屠，连毛吃猪 : 比喻少了某个人，事情就做不成。 Basically, the idea in each variation is that if we didn't have Person X, we would not (or, in some variations, *would*) be in trouble. I'm just going to include one variation — the one that yields the most results, using Google verbatim, out of the following three. "死了张屠夫，不吃带毛猪" 4,330 "死了张屠夫，就吃带毛猪" 2,020 "死了张屠夫，不吃混毛猪" 46,200 |
