Why is it a joke that father and son buy bamboo poles?

Because my son heard "bamboo pole" as "pig liver", his voice was almost wrong. Later, I took my father's abuse, "Where are the ears?" I thought my father knew that he had bought pig ears and hid them, making a joke. The little story about this joke goes like this: Once upon a time, a father told his son to go to the market to buy bamboo poles, and his son took bamboo poles as "pig liver".

My son went to the market, bought some pig livers, and then secretly bought two pig ears with extra money. At home, the son hid the pig's ears in his pocket and gave the pig's liver to his father. As soon as the father saw that his son had misheard him and bought something wrong, he was so angry that his lungs would explode. He asked his son, "Where are your ears?" "

Once upon a time, a newly appointed magistrate was from Shandong. Because he wanted to hang up, he said to the master, "Go and buy me two bamboo poles."

The tout recognized that the bamboo pole with Shandong accent was "pig liver", so he agreed at once and hurried to the butcher's shop. He said to the shopkeeper, "Master Xinxian wants to buy two pig livers, so be smart!"

The shopkeeper is a clever man. He immediately cut off two pieces of pig liver and gave a pair of pig ears.

After leaving the butcher's shop, the master thought, "My master told me to buy pig liver. Of course this pig ear is mine." So he wrapped the hunting ear, stuffed it into his pocket, returned to the county government and reported to the magistrate: "Report back to Grandpa, I bought pig liver!" "

When the magistrate saw that the master had bought pig liver, he was very angry and said, "Where are your ears?" ! "Hearing this, Bao Bao turned pale with fear and quickly replied:" Ear … ear … here … in my … pocket! "
