Chapter 420 Killing the New Year Pig

When little classmate Le returned to his hometown happily, life in the capital was still as tense and busy as ever. After the little classmate’s school vacation, the Guwu family who came to Beijing also They left Beijing and returned to their respective families one after another. They came to Beijing to find the suspected immortal doctor. Now that they know who it is, and she is not in the capital, of course they want their family to make a detailed report and then plan what to do next year.

The Tantai family is an exception. On the third day of Qingda University’s holiday, the head of the Tantai family drove Tantai Mixue back to the coastal city where she chose to practice, leaving only her two grandsons to recuperate in Beijing, and asked Shou Bo to Accompanying his two children in Beijing, he returned to his hometown to preside over the New Year and ancestor worship.

Tantai Mixue wanted to stay in the capital with Tantai Xunyang Xunhuan, but she couldn't go against the owner's words and left alone just like when she came.

Mr. Lan did not see her off because he took a flight back to his family's place of residence on the 18th; Mr. Jiang and his two brothers also returned to Long Province on the 18th.

The young masters and young masters of the ancient martial arts sect evacuated from the capital on the 18th and 19th. They came back as quickly as they came, which was quite cool.

Yan Xing had stayed in the garrison for so long, and Red Fourteen's eyes had adapted to the late light. He didn't have to stare at it all the time. He led his team to leave Beijing for the mission, completely ignoring the mess of the Zhao family.

The captain stopped monitoring. The first thing he did was run to see the unlucky guy who donated the eyes. The eyes didn’t show any strange reaction to the original owner. He was relieved and rubbed it secretly. Draw up a training plan to prepare for early participation in missions.

Jin Er Er has been under observation in the hospital for a long time, and his leg injury is progressing towards a good recovery. Professor Lu, Professor Kang, and Director Qin originally wanted to keep him under observation for a few months, but Commander Liu of the garrison asked to take him back. The garrison was stationed to recuperate for easy care, but they couldn't resist and had no choice but to let him go.

After returning home, the beautiful young man studied to visit relatives every day, played ball and socialized with the boys, occasionally showed up at banquets of important dignitaries, and practiced meditation in the evening and morning. He lived a very comfortable life.

Zhao Yixiong and his son were on pins and needles every day, and on the 17th, they were even more worried: the He family, who cooperated with the working group to verify the official accounts, found many loopholes and traced him and his The working group followed the evidence and traces of the son's transfer of the company's property and found various evidence of tax evasion.

Zhao Yixiong and his stepson were so bold that they took the company's money privately for more than ten years. They owned a total of 18 real estate properties under their names. Zhao Zongze used the company's money to privately invest in the factory and use the transaction as a profit. Therefore, the company's money is transferred to the factory and becomes its own private property.

The father and son seriously infringed on the company's property, with the total amount exceeding 800 million. The company has maintained a minimal annual profit for many years, which also seriously infringed on the interests of the company's owners.

At the same time, the father and son collaborated with their cronies to create false accounts, and the total amount of tax evasion and tax evasion exceeded 300 million. The money was also divided between the father, son and other participants.

The amount of money involved is huge and it is an economic crime.

After the working group obtained the true evidence and verified it, it was confirmed that the acting chairman of Feixia Group and his stepson transferred and misappropriated the company's property, evaded taxes, and were prosecuted. At the same time, Yanxing was entrusted in the name of the legal owner of the group. The He family filed a lawsuit.

On January 19, Zhao Yixiong and Zhao Zongze’s nightmare came. The superiors approved the arrest of Zhao and his son. On the morning of that day, the relevant departments arrested Zhao Yixiong and Zhao Zongze with lightning speed, and also arrested Zhao Yixiong and Zhao Zongze. Several senior personnel involved.

Zhao Yixiong was taken away from the company, and Zhao Zongze was taken away at home. Zhao Li saw his grandson being taken away, and heard that Yan Xing entrusted the He family to sue Zhao in the name of the company owner. Yixiong Zhao Zongze was so angry that he fainted. The Zhao family was so frightened that they were in chaos.

After being woken up by a group of people messing around, Zhao Li sat there for a long time, called Yan Xing and turned off the phone! He braced himself and tried to contact some Beijing officials he had known before, but everyone avoided him and no one was willing to say a word to him.

With no way to ask for help, Zhao Li burst into tears for the first time in front of the domestic servant. Yan Xing avoided seeing him and would no longer protect the Zhao family. Without Yan Xing's protection, what about his son and grandson? You can have good fruit to eat.

Finally, he couldn’t bear to see his grandson and son suffer, so he went to the court to ask for a meeting. Because Zhao Yixiong committed an economic crime, the court allowed the father, son and grandson to meet once.

Zhao Li met his son and his son once and expressed his willingness to return the money that the father and son had embezzled and make up for the evaded taxes. He asked the bailiff to tell the He family to give him some time.

The He family gave him three days. Zhao immediately returned home and rushed to fix the leak. He first found a lawyer, and then paid all the money in the accounts of his son, grandson, daughter-in-law, and real estate in the name of his son and grandson. Come out and leave it to a lawyer to find someone to assess the value.

While Zhao Li was working hard to remedy the situation, the He family was entrusted by Yan Xing to formally take over the Feixia Group. He Qili assigned professionals and lawyers to carry out drastic rectification and adjustments to the Feixia Group, and the Zhao family arranged Eliminate all the cronies and bugs, implement merit-based appointment, and promote a large number of mid-level people who are truly capable and reliable.

The He family took control of the group with lightning-fast moves, and did not give the Zhao family's cronies and several small shareholders any time to react. When they reacted, Their cronies have long been arrested or fired.

Those who were fired all resigned voluntarily. The reason was, of course, that they also participated in or helped cover up the Zhao and his son's corruption, misappropriation of public funds, tax evasion, etc. If they did not resign voluntarily, once official business was done,, then what awaits will be joining the class room like the Zhao family and his son, and they will also become notorious accomplices. In the future, they will not be able to find a job in the same industry, let alone work part-time in Kyoto.

No matter how efficient the work of the lawyers entrusted by Zhao Li is, they may not be able to keep up with the plan in other aspects. Especially at the end of the year, people in every industry are extremely busy. Zhao Li only I could wait anxiously, but when there was no news on New Year's Eve, I was so anxious that my mouth blistered.

At the end of the twelfth lunar month, the whole country is busy preparing for the New Year, and rural areas are even more busy, collecting New Year's goods and killing New Year pigs. Generally, after 20, some people will kill them. Most pigs are killed after the New Year, so that the pork is still fresh during the New Year.

The girl didn’t celebrate the New Year at home, and Le’s father Zhou Qiufeng didn’t neglect it. According to custom, he offered sacrifices to the gods and sent the gods to heaven. After that, he cleaned up by himself and prepared whatever was needed. Some people in the village were also busy. They kill pigs for others, and some are also busy paying bills before the end of the year, etc.

Village Chief Zhou’s family was slaughtering pigs on the 25th, but Zhou Qiufeng couldn’t help and didn’t go. Village Chief Zhou sent a big piece of meat and liver to the Le family, saying it was for the girl of the Le family. ;

On the same day, many people in the village were killing pigs. Cheng Youde’s family also killed the New Year pig and gave a piece to the Le family. There were two other families who also got along well with Zhou Qiufeng and gave a piece to the Le family;< br />
On the twenty-sixth, the Zhou family was killing the New Year pig, and Zhou Qiufeng went back to her parents’ house to help with odd jobs. When the work was done, Brother Zhou took away a piece of seven or eight kilograms of meat and half of the pork belly for his sister without saying a word. .

Carrying a piece of meat, Zhou Qiufeng couldn't laugh or cry. Their family had been killing pigs for twenty-eight years, and the time was only one day apart. Since it was a gift from her brother, she took it home without politeness.

Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming came back from school during the summer vacation. Seeing that Le Yun was not at home, she was relieved. If Le Yun was not here, their father would not compare them with others.

Leba’s boss, Boss Wu, is very considerate of everyone. After working the 26th day of the shift, he will have a holiday starting from the 27th of the new year, allowing the staff in the workshop to go back to work during the New Year, and he himself will return to the provincial capital. Reunion with family in Han City.

The workshop invites two lonely old people to help guard it. This is the case every year. They make reservations very early, and prepare new year goods and red envelopes for the caretakers early. Half of their wages are also paid in advance. In fact, every year during the New Year, , old bachelors and lonely old people are happy to show boss Wu a workshop, they can eat, drink and get money, which is the best for them.

Le’s dad and his colleagues finished their last shift of the year and ended the work perfectly. They went home with the New Year’s red envelope and year-end bonus given by Boss Wu. When he returned home, it was dark. When I didn't hear my daughter's laughter outside the building, I guessed that she hadn't come back.

After dinner, Le’s father handed over the red envelope and bonus to his wife. He has a wise wife at home. He only cares about doing things and does not need to worry about money, nor does he need to pay for oil, salt, firewood, rice, etc.Worrying couldn't be any better.

The 24th of January is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month. That day is the Xinhai Day. Some people in the countryside do not kill pigs during the Xinhai Festival, so there are fewer people killing pigs on that day.

After dawn, Le’s father, Zhou Qiufeng, was thinking about the girl, hoping that she would come home. However, he did not wait from dawn to dusk.

If the girl doesn’t come back, the New Year Pig will also be killed. Therefore, on the 25th of the New Year, the 28th day of the year, Le’s dad and Zhou Qiufeng got up early in the morning to make a delicious breakfast and put away the bits and pieces in front of and behind the house. Put the things away, wait until nine o'clock, drive a large pot in front of the house to boil water, and prepare the items needed to kill the pig.

The water for scalding the pig hair on the Lejia stove has not yet boiled, and the people who are helping to kill the pigs are arriving one after another, including Brother Zhou, Cheng Youde, Cheng Youliang, Dad Cheng, Village Chief Zhou and his son Zhou Dahai Zhou Xiaohai, Zhang Poluo and Liu Lu who played well with Le Dad.

Zhang Poluo is a nickname. He has a rough voice, so the good guys gave him a nickname. He is used to calling him here and there. Zhang Poluo and Liu Lu’s parents are very close to the older generation of the Le family. Fortunately, when Yueqing was in trouble, the two families also lent money to Lejia, and they still have a good relationship.

Both of them work outside a lot of time, so they didn’t help Lejia during the double robbery. The construction site had a holiday on the New Year’s Day, so they went to Lejia to kill the New Year pig and come to Lejia to help. As for their My parents, who were picked up by their sisters, were not at home, so they did not come to Lejia.

Cheng Youde’s wife Liu Sister-in-law, Liu Lu’s wife Hu Sister-in-law, and Zhang Poluo’s wife Zhao Sister-in-law also came to Lejia to help. The women had nothing to do before killing the pigs. They would wait until the New Year pigs were killed. I clean the internal organs, help marinate the bacon, etc.

The Cheng family brothers, Zhang Poluo and Liu Lu went to help others kill pigs early in the morning. After breakfast, they went to help another family kill New Year pigs before coming to Lejia.

The men and women sat at Lejia for a while, waiting for the water to boil. The men went to the backyard pig pen to drive the pig to be killed and drove it into the main room of Lejia. Rural people are very particular about killing. The New Year pig must be killed in front of the ancestral hall, and incense must be burned after killing the pig to pray for a strong pig in the coming year.

Drive the pig into the main room, hook the pig's chin with an iron hook, and then everyone swarms up, pulling the tail, grabbing the ears, and gaiting the legs, and tie up a big fat pig. , drag up the horizontal stool, put a basin to catch the pig's blood under the pig's chin, and Father Cheng kills the pig.

The fat New Year pig howled, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, blood flowed like a stream, and the howl became weaker. The pig's blood was released, and the pig was thrown off the stool. The pig's legs were still attached. He climbed up to the bliss without even pedaling.

The grown men carried the pigs outside to iron and shave them. While working, they chatted about everyday things. They all said that Zhou Qiufeng had good hands and that the pigs he raised for only half a year were stronger than others who had raised them for a year.

More people bring greater strength. After scalding the pig hair, wash it and hang it up., dissect, cut off the whole pig head, and put it on the ancestral incense table, put wine on it, and burn incense to worship the land god who is in charge of livestock.

After the sacrifice, the cook weighs the head first, then removes the hair and handles it carefully, then chops it into half and stews the pig head meat. There is a custom in rural areas of eating pig head meat. Pigs are killed but not boiled. Pig head meat, people like that will be regarded as the most stingy person. If people don't talk about you in front of you, you will be looked down upon behind your back. No one will be willing to help next time, unless you don't eat here because there are many people killing pigs that day. , there is no need to cook pig head meat for the people who help kill the pigs.

Both men and women went to work, separating the pig's internal organs and carrying the meat to weigh it. Not including the pig's head, it weighed 230 kilograms. This is the net weight. If it had not been weighed before killing, it would have been nearly three pounds by visual inspection. One hundred pounds.

Everyone has a job to do. Help the owner to clean the pig intestines, intestines, belly and other internal organs. They are clean and really clean. They can be put down directly after scrubbing them with salt and cornstarch. pot.

The men were lucky enough to put the pork on the board, then cut it into pieces, chop off the pig's feet, and some people used them to burn and scald them, cut out the pig's knuckles, and separate out the fat for oil. Those who make bacon, keep some that do not need to be cured, and some that are given as gifts, and clearly separate the pieces of meat that have their own uses.

Brother Zhou and Cheng Youde listened to Zhou Qiufeng and left a piece of the best meat for Xiao Lele to make barbecue when he came back, and also left some to make dumpling fillings.

Since it was not yet noon, Sister-in-law Liu and the other women were helping to marinate the bacon. Brother Zhou and others were also busy, helping to cut the fat for oiling into three-finger-wide pieces for oiling. Pour straight into the pot, no more hassle.

As the owner, Leba is the most idle. He only does small things such as lighting the fire, washing the vegetables for lunch, and peeling bamboo skewers for barbecue in his free time.

The men and women were busy until half past eleven. All the work was done, and the table was set for dinner. Le’s father picked up his mother-in-law, his eldest sister-in-law, and the Zhou siblings.

There were a lot of people. The women sat in the kitchen to eat, and the men set a table outside. It was very lively.

After eating pig head meat at Lejia, the Zhou brothers and sister-in-law Zhou sneaked home early. Father Cheng, Village Chief Zhou and sisters-in-law Liu also went home. Brother Zhou, brothers from the Cheng family, and Zhang Po Luo and Liu Lu went to another house to kill pigs.

After sending away the helpers, Zhou Qiufeng and Le’s father washed pots and made lard. Grandma Zhou had nothing to do at home, so she also helped Le’s family with the firework.

Grandma Zhou didn’t see Lele at noon. She originally wanted to scold her daughter and Yue Qing, but she finally held back. When no one else was around, she nagged her daughter and son-in-law in the afternoon. , blame the young couple for not having the authority of their parents and not urging the girl to go home, etc.

With the elders scolding them, Le Dad and Zhou Qiufeng had no room for resistance. With tears streaming down their faces, they carried the black pot given by their elders, hoping for the stars and the moon, hoping that the girl would come back soon.Come and save yourself from fire and water.

Le Yun also wanted to go home before the 28th, but she still had nothing to find, so she could only run in the mountains bitterly. It was not until noon on the 28th that she came out of the deep mountains and old forests. Get out.

Before returning to the real world from the savages, I put a lot of medicinal materials in my backpack and packed them into a big bag, all packed in thick black plastic bags.

Drill out from the mountains and find a natural dirt road. First hitch a ride on the road. In the Shennong Mountains, in some places the mountain people still maintain their simple and enthusiastic nature, making it easy to hitchhike. , of course, refers to people who speak local dialects. It is more difficult for people who speak foreign languages. They are afraid that if they do a good deed, they will not say anything good, and if something happens along the way, they will be beaten back by others, and they will eventually become bankrupt.

I took a ride to the highway, waited for a long time for an empty van operated by the operator, and chartered a bus back to Jiudao Township. The van could only be delivered to a place not far from Meizijing Village, and the roads were blocked in some places.

After paying the money, Le Yun carried her big and small bags and hurried forward. On the way, she passed by the doors of several houses. She was spotted by someone and asked questions. She also met a few people on the way. The villagers were asked again.

After being asked N times, Le Xiao’s face almost froze with laughter, saying that she couldn’t bear it any longer and begged to be let go! When she was liberated, she did not dare to walk slowly and started running around.

She ran so fast that others couldn’t see her clearly, so naturally she couldn’t be caught. She also successfully escaped the “fire reconnaissance” of several people and ran safely to the garden outside her building. on the road.

After adjusting her breath, Le Yun had to run home in staggering steps. When she could see the door of her house, she could smell the fragrance from far away and knew that lard was being made at home. I saw the new mother standing and turning the meat in the pot with something, and I heard the sound of an iron spoon hitting the pot.

"Aunt Feng, Dad, the little cotton-padded jacket is back!" He shouted happily and rushed to the building jumping happily.

Hearing the shouting, Zhou Qiufeng turned her head happily and saw that Lele was back. Lele was wearing a little cotton-padded jacket wearing her father's camouflage uniform, carrying a backpack, and twisting the bulging bags in both hands.

She dropped the long-handled pot and spoon for mixing the meat in her hand and ran to meet it. When she ran to the side of the house, people rushed over. She grabbed two bags and helped carry them: "Lele, You're late again."

"I also want to come back early, but I can't make it in time." Le Yun gritted her teeth and jumped to the big pot to look at the unpalatable oil residue.

The meat that has been rendered into oil is called oily dumplings, and some are also called oily dumplings. For example, the pork belly has been refined into oil. There are also some meats with skin that are cooked into fragrant and especially crispy, which is the favorite for children. like.

Xiao Lele ran and looked around, but Zhou Qiufeng ignored her and helped her carry her things to her bedroom.

Le's father was cutting pig intestines in the main room. When he heard the little cotton-padded jacket shouting, he wiped the oil off his hands with a rag and walked out with a cane. When he saw little Lele rushing in after Zhou Qiufeng, he was full of bitterness and wanted to go out. However, when I saw the child's bright smiling face and heard the sweet "Dad", the grievance of being blamed by the elders immediately disappeared.

"Lele, have you had lunch?"

"No, I'll keep my belly and come back to eat pork head meat." In order to make her father and new mother happy, Leyun I'm not hungry, and I say I haven't eaten anything.

"I left some delicious food for you. You put down your things and go take a shower, and I'll help you heat up the food." Dad Le heard that the sweet little cotton-padded jacket hadn't eaten yet, so he wasn't curious about the child getting some. What, turn around and go to the kitchen.

Zhou Qiufeng opened the door with the key and carried the things into the girl's bedroom.

Le Yun slipped into the room, put down her backpack, sat down on the ground, and took off the bag to get some air.

“Fragrant fungus and fungus?” Zhou Qiufeng was confused when he saw the contents in the bag. Is Xiao Lele running all over the mountain just for wild fungus and mushroom?

"No, it's just an appearance," Le Yun explained while taking the fungus and shiitake mushrooms out: "They are all filled with medicinal materials. I was afraid that others would find out, so I covered the top with fungus and shiitake mushrooms. ”

Zhou Qiufeng wiped her sweat and felt the rhythm of Lele going on a sweep again. As she expected, when she took away the mushrooms and fungus, there was a tied bag underneath. When she opened it, all the There are various medicinal materials, including roots, branches, and leaves.

Opening the bag, Le Yun took out another bag of honey from her backpack. The bag was tightly tied and there was not much honey, weighing about two or three kilograms.

She took out the things and ignored them for now. She found clean clothes, took a bucket to the kitchen and poured hot water into the bathroom. She took a shower in the bathroom behind the house, washed her hands from head to toe, dried her hair, and rolled into the kitchen. Have a meal.

Zhou Qiufeng admired what the girl had brought back and went to refining oil. Dad Le continued to work on his own.

The New Year pigs raised in the countryside are fed with grain. The meat is particularly delicious. The pig head meat is stewed fragrantly. Le Yun ate a lot of meat and boiled vegetables to eat, which made her feel full.

After a full meal, she used a bamboo sieve to dry her own medicinal materials. Because her parents did not allow her to work, she found a few medicinal materials and pounded them into juice, mixed up a bowl of sauce, and then cut the meat. Cut into thin slices and marinate them in the sauce. Marinate them for about ten minutes. Then skewer them one by one and grill them. After grilling for a while, put the meat slices in the sauce and rinse them three or four times. The grilled meat will be fragrant and delicious. .

Le’s father Zhou Qiufeng also had the opportunity to fill up his stomach. He ate until his eyes narrowed. He ate some himself and sent some back to Zhou’s house.

Grandma Zhou tasted two skewers, Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming smelled them.The aroma wafting from Lejia made my mouth water with greed, but I was too embarrassed to go see what delicious food was made. When my aunt brought barbecue, I greedily rushed to eat it.

In the face of delicious food, the siblings also selectively put aside what their aunt said that the barbecue was made by Le Yun, and snatched up all the food. They were not satisfied yet, but they were still greedy. She couldn't help but run to Lejia to ask Leyun for barbecue, so she had to smell the aroma in secret to satisfy her hunger.

Le Yun was so addicted to eating barbecue that she ran to wash her clothes. After washing her clothes, she found that it was still early, so she cut the meat again to make barbecue, roasted it, put it aside to cool, and roasted it until it was almost dark. There were a lot of them, so I took out the vacuum packer I bought when I got home, connected it to the power supply, and sealed the barbecue.

Zhou Qiufeng’s father is a daughter-in-law. It’s up to her to do whatever the child wants to do. As long as she is happy, the child said that she would pack a copy and take it back to the school in the capital, giving one to the Chao family and her teacher. They also readily agreed with her thoughtfulness and even helped her barbecue, cut and package meat when they had time.

There was a lot of fat, and the refining was not finished by the time it got dark. Zhou Qiufeng was not in a hurry. He did the housework while refining the oil. It was finished at about ten o'clock in the evening. He turned off the stove fire and moved all the oil drums into the house. , there is no need to move the stove and pot, just support a few bamboos and cover them with rainproof cloth.
