Rebirth 78, marry Qingmei as my wife

When Liu Hongjun returned home, Yang Qiuyan had already prepared lunch and was waiting for him to come back for dinner like a little daughter-in-law.

No, Yang Qiuyan was originally his wife. She was his wife in the last life, and she will soon become his wife in this life.

Dashan and Shitou had left. Yang Qiuyan stayed with them to eat, but they refused.

In this era, although it is not as difficult as seven or eight years ago, every family does not have much surplus food.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, discerning people will not eat at other people's homes.

In the afternoon, Liu Hongjun also stayed at home, washing platycodon and gastrodia with Yang Qiuyan, Shitou and others.

Master Liang said that there will be snow the day after tomorrow. Although he doesn't know whether it is true or not, judging from Yang Guangfu's attitude, he completely believes it.

No matter what, today and tomorrow, these gastrodia elata and platycodon must be washed out and dried.

In the afternoon, around four o'clock, the production team's loudspeaker started broadcasting.

“Members of Yushutun, please pay attention!

Members of Yushutun, please pay attention!

Liu Hongjun's family was building a house. In order to thank the village members for helping him build the house, it was not convenient for him to take care of the food alone, so he went into the mountains and hunted some wild boars.

All the commune members who helped Liu Hongjun build a house sent people to the production team headquarters to collect the pork!

All those who helped Liu Hongjun build a house were given ten pounds of pork per family! "Yang Guangfu shouted on the loudspeaker.

It was specifically pointed out that the person who helped Liu Hongjun build the house could get ten pounds of pork. If no one was sent to help, of course there would be none.

However, Yang Guangfu's words are really nonsense, because more than a hundred households in Yushutun have sent people to help.

Even among the educated youth, except for a few who have decided to leave, all the others went to the northern slope to help with work.

A broadcast stirred up waves.

Yushutun, which was originally quiet, suddenly became lively, with many people coming out of every house.

Although the announcement was broadcast that each family would send one person to pick up the meat, it was such a lively event.

How could everyone only send one of them?

Although if you go a few more people, you won't get an extra piece of meat, but it's still good to go and see the excitement.

There are so many people, wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to chat and gossip?

Isn’t it in this environment that those gossips spread?

In a short time, the brigade headquarters was filled with people.

Accountant Su Youcai took a list and started calling names.

"Is the Tiezhu family here?"

"Coming! Coming!" Zhou Xiuqin's huge body swayed from side to side, squeezing the surrounding crowd away.

Standing among the men, Zhou Xiuqin felt like she stood out from the crowd. Standing among a group of women who were about 1.6 meters tall, the visual impact was really extraordinary.

The pig butcher in the village glanced at Zhou Xiuqin without saying a word. He cut off a long strip of pork with a knife, then cut off a piece from the back elbow and handed it to Zhou Xiuqin.

The first cut is pork belly, the best and most popular meat in this era, and the second cut is lean meat.

This is done for the sake of fairness.

Otherwise, the people in the front would be served pork belly and the people behind would be served lean meat, and the villagers would definitely have objections.

Therefore, when the meat is divided in the village, one piece of fat meat is paired with one piece of lean meat.

There is no subdivision of tenderloin or elbow meat, only lean meat and fat meat.

Zhou Xiuqin took it and padded it, and said in a rough voice, "Lao Liu, your skills are still so good!"

"My name Qian Yidao is not for nothing!" the pig-killer said with a proud smile.

Qian Yidao, Lao Liu of the Qian family, is the pig butcher of Yushutun. Every year, it is his job to kill pigs and share the meat for the production team. Qian Lao Liu is not only the pig butcher of Yushu Tun, he is also the butcher of the supply and marketing cooperative at the foot of the mountain. Pigmaker.

In this era, craftsmanship is important in everything you do. When killing pigs, you need to kill them with one knife. When cutting meat, you need to be precise.

Not to mention the drug-preparing apprentices in pharmacies, they pay attention to getting the medicine right.

Even the clerks in the grain store, despite their usually awesome appearance, are really skilled in their skills.

When weighing grains, it is important to weigh them accurately.

That is, if you want two kilograms of stick noodles, use a ladle to scoop out the stick noodles and pour it onto the tray. Make sure it is exactly two kilograms, not more than one tael.

"Is there anyone at Wang Dakui's house?"

"Here we come!" Wang Dakui's wife quickly raised her hands and pushed forward.

She didn't have Zhou Xiuqin's ability, so she could only squeeze forward bit by bit along the gaps that everyone gave way to.

Qian Laoliu also cut off a long strip of meat with a knife, plus a piece of hind leg meat, and handed it to Wang Dakui's wife.

"Is there anyone at Wang Erkui's house?"

"Here we come!" Wang Erkui's wife was standing behind Wang Dakui's wife.

Wang Dakui and Wang Erkui have separated, so naturally they have their own affairs. After all, both families have people to help with work.

It took more than an hour of busy work to finish dividing the meat. After everyone received the meat, they were not in a hurry to go home and gathered together to chat and gossip.

Every time there is such an occasion, it is a gossip exchange meeting.

So and so's old woman and her daughter-in-law had a fight, and everything in the house was ruined.

Someone came into the house of a certain widow last night and did not leave until morning.

So and so and his daughter-in-law·········

Of course, these women are not stupid. The gossip spread on such occasions is the gossip of other villages, and only the gossip of this village is spread in private.

Otherwise, it would not be a gossip exchange meeting, but a scolding meeting.

Liu Hongjun did not go to the meat-sharing meeting, so Yang Guangfu arranged for people to send him the bones of five wild boars.

Of course, this does not include ribs.

The pork ribs belong to the butcher Qian Laoliu.

There are also pig heads, which belong to several production team cadres.

After working hard until night, I finally washed all the platycodon and gastrodia elata and dried them.

"Dashan, Shitou will lend a hand and carry all the bamboo baskets into the house!" Watching the sun set, Liu Hongjun ordered Dashan and Shitou who were about to leave.

Now that the temperature at night has reached below zero, these medicinal materials are worthless once they freeze and thaw.

So, take it indoors and wait until the sun comes tomorrow to take it out to dry.

The four people moved all the bamboo baskets into the room and put them on the shelves.

Liu Hongjun's home has a special shelf for storing bamboo baskets, one layer at a time, and one shelf can hold more than a dozen bamboo baskets.

This kind of shelf is more common in the south, especially in the areas where silkworms are raised in the south of the Yangtze River. It is the kind of shelf where silkworm baskets are kept.

Father Liu specially hired a carpenter to make several such racks for drying medicinal materials.

After some medicinal materials are washed, they cannot be exposed to the sun, so they can only be placed in the house to dry on this rack.

After finishing their work, Dashan and Shitou said goodbye and went home.

Yang Qiuyan also left reluctantly.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Hongjun and eleven dogs were the only ones left at home.

First, I fed the eleven dogs one by one, took out 'Lihua', 'Huang Zhong' and Sanhei for a walk, and then started washing my hands and making dinner.
