Chapter 420: Killing the New Year Pig
When little classmate Le returned to his hometown happily, people in the capital still lived as tense and busy as ever. After the little classmate’s school vacation, the Guwu family who came to Beijing also left Beijing and returned to their respective families. 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 me to make a detailed report and then plan what to do next year.
The Tantai family was an exception. On the third day of Qingda University's holiday, the head of the Tantai family drove Tantai Mixue back to the seaside city where she chose to practice, leaving only her two grandsons to recuperate in Beijing. She also asked Shou Bo to accompany his two children in Beijing, and he returned on his own. My family is going to host the New Year ceremony to worship ancestors.
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 again just like when she came.
Master Lan did not see her off because he took the opportunity to return to his family's residence on the 18th; Master 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 quickly, which was quite cool.
Yan Xing had stayed in the garrison for so long, and Chi Shisi'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 Chi Shishi did was to go see the unlucky guy who donated the eyes. The eyes didn't show any strange reaction to the original owner. He was relieved and secretly made a plan to join the training so as to be ready as soon as possible. Participate in tasks.
Jin Er Er has been under observation in the hospital for a long time, and his leg injury is progressing towards good recovery. Professor Lu Kang taught Director Qin that he originally wanted to keep him under observation for a few months, but Commander Liu of the garrison area requested that he be taken back to the garrison to recuperate for the convenience of care. They Unable to resist, he had no choice but to let him go.
After returning home, the beautiful young man studied and visited relatives every day, played ball and socialized with his younger friends, 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 collaborated with the working group to verify official accounts, found many loopholes and traced evidence and traces of him and his son transferring company property. , the working group followed the clues and found various evidence of tax evasion.
Zhao Yixiong and his stepson were so bold that they kept the company's money privately for more than ten years. They owned a total of 18 real estate properties in their names. Zhao Zongze used the company's money to privately invest in the factory and transferred the company's money to The factory 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 very low 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 evaded and evaded taxes totaling more than 300 million yuan. 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.
The working group obtained the true evidence and verified it, confirming that the acting chairman of Feixia Group and his stepson transferred and misappropriated company property, evaded taxes, and were prosecuted. At the same time, Yanxing entrusted the He family to prosecute in the name of the legal owner of the group.
On January 19, Zhao Yixiong and Zhao Zongze's nightmare came. Their 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 several high-level personnel involved. .
Zhao Yixiong was taken away from the company, and Zhao Zongze was taken away from home. Zhao Li saw his grandson being taken away, and heard that Yan Xing had entrusted the He family to sue Zhao Yixiong and Zhao Zongze in the name of the company owner. He was furious and fainted on the spot. After passing by, the Zhao family was so frightened that they lost their minds and 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 in front of the domestic servant for the first time. Yan Xing avoided seeing her and would no longer protect the Zhao family. Without Yan Xing's protection, his son and grandson would not be able to enjoy good things.
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 embezzled by the father and son 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 dug out all the money in the accounts of his son, grandson, daughter-in-law, and real estate in the names of his son and grandson, and handed them over to the lawyer for evaluation. 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, eliminating all the cronies and bugs arranged by the Zhao family. Implement appointment based on merit and promote a large number of mid-level people who are truly capable and reliable.
The He family took control of the group in a lightning-fast move, without giving the Zhao family's cronies and several small shareholders any time to react. By the time they reacted, their cronies had already been arrested or arrested. dismiss.
The people 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 on their own initiative, once the official business was done, what was waiting for them would be with Zhao. If a father and his son join the same class, they will become notorious accomplices. They will never be able to find a job among their peers in the future, let alone work part-time in Kyoto.
No matter how efficient the lawyers entrusted by Zhao Li are in their work, 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 can only wait anxiously until the new year. Twenty-seven didn't have any news yet, and he was so anxious that his mouth was blistering.
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. They are collecting New Year's goods and killing New Year pigs. Generally, after the twelfth lunar month, some people kill New Year pigs, mostly during the small New Year. Then the pig is killed so that the pork is still fresh during the Chinese New Year.
The girl did not celebrate the New Year at home, and Le's father Zhou Qiufeng did not neglect it either. According to the custom, he offered sacrifices to the gods and sent the gods to heaven. After that, he cleaned up and prepared whatever was needed. Some people in the village were busy killing pigs for others, and some also Busy with settling payroll accounts before the year and so on.
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
killed Pigs, Cheng Youde's family also killed the New Year pig and gave a piece to the Le family. There were two families who also got along well with Zhou Qiufeng and gave a piece to the Le family;
二十六，周家杀年猪，周秋凤回娘家帮做零碎活，当忙完活，周哥二话没说，给妹子提走一块七八斤的肉以及一半猪肚。
提着一块肉，周秋凤哭笑不得，她们家二十八杀猪啊，时间只间隔一天而已，因是哥哥送的，她也就没客气的提回家。
周春梅周天明学校放暑假都回来了，见乐韵没在家，反而松口气，乐韵没来，他们爸爸也就不会拿他们跟人比较。
乐爸的老板武老板很体贴大家，上完二十六一天班，从年二十七开始放假，让作坊里的人员回去忙过年，他自己也回省首府汉市与家人团聚。
作坊则请两个孤寡老人帮看守，每年都是如此，很早就预定了，也早早给看守人备有年货还有红包，工资也预付一半，其实，每年过年，老光棍和孤寡老人们都乐意给武老板看作坊，有吃有喝还有钱收，对他们而言再好不过。
乐爸和同事们上完一年最后一个班，又完美的收工，揣着武老板给的过年红包和年终奖回家，他回到家天又黑麻麻的，到楼房外没听到女儿笑声，便猜着人没回来。
晚饭后，乐爸将红包和奖金上交老婆管，家有个贤慧的老婆，他只管做事，不用管钱，也不用为油盐柴米操心，简直不能再美好。
元月24号，是二十七，当天是辛亥日，农村有些人家忌晦，逢亥不杀猪，所以当天杀猪的人比较少。
打天亮后，乐爸周秋凤就叨念着姑娘，盼着她能回家，然而，从天明等到天黑也没等着。
姑娘不回，年猪也要杀呀，因此，当25号年二十八，乐爸和周秋凤清早起来做好吃的吃过早饭，把屋前屋后的零碎物收起来，等过九点，在屋前驾起大锅烧水，准备好杀猪要用到的物品。

Zhang Poluo is his 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. When Yueqing suffered disaster, they The two families also lent money to Roca, and they still have a good relationship.
Both of them worked outside the house a lot, so they didn't help the Lejia even during the robbery. The construction site had a holiday on the New Year's Day, so they went to the Lejia to kill the New Year pigs to help. As for their parents, they were picked up by their sisters. I went, but I wasn’t at home, so I didn’t come to Lejia.
Cheng Youde's wife, Sister-in-law Liu, Liu Lu's wife, Sister-in-law Hu, and Zhang Poluo's wife, Sister-in-law Zhao, also came to Le's house to help. The women had nothing to do before killing the pigs. When the pigs were killed, they would help clean the internal organs and 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 went to the Le family to sit 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 rushed it into the Le family hall. Rural people are very particular about killing the New Year pig in front of the ancestral hall. When killing pigs, they also burn incense 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 of the pig, scratching the ears of the ears, gaiting the legs, tying up a big fat pig, dragging it on a horizontal stool, and A basin for collecting pig blood is placed under the pig's chin, and Father Cheng kills the pig with a knife.
The fat New Year pig howled, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, blood flowed like a drop, and the howl became weaker. The pig's blood was released, and the pig was thrown off the stool. The pig didn't even kick its legs and flew away in bliss. .
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.
With more people and greater strength, the pig hair is scalded, washed, hung, split, and the pig head is cut off. The owner puts it on the ancestral incense table, puts wine on it, and burns incense to worship the land god who is in charge of livestock.
After the sacrifice is over, the cook weighs the meat first, then takes away the hair and handles it carefully, then cuts it into half and stews the pig head meat. There is a custom of eating pig head meat in rural areas. If you kill a pig without cooking the pig head meat, such a family will be punished. Seen as the most stingy person, if people don't talk to you in front of you, you will be looked down upon behind your back, and no one will be willing to help next time. Unless there are many people killing pigs that day, and you don't eat here, you don't have to cook pig head meat for help. The one who kills the pig eats it.
Both men and women went to work, separating the pig's internal organs and carrying the meat to weigh it. Not counting the pig's head, it actually weighed 230 kilograms. This is the net weight. If it had not been weighed before killing, it would have been nearly 300 kilograms by visual inspection.
Everyone has a job to do, helping the master clean the pig's intestines, intestines, belly and other internal organs. After washing them thoroughly, they are really clean. After scrubbing them with salt and cornstarch, they can be put into the pot directly.
The men were lucky, so they put the pork on the board, then cut it into pieces, chopped off the pig's feet, and some people used them to burn and scald them. Prepared, some are left as gifts, and the pieces of meat are clearly divided into pieces that have their own uses.
Brother Zhou and Cheng Youde listened to Zhou Qiufeng's advice and even left a piece of the best meat for Xiao Lele to make barbecue when he came back. They also left some to make dumpling fillings.
Because it was not yet noon, Sister-in-law Liu and the other women were helping to marinate the bacon, and Brother Zhou and others were also busy, helping to cut the fat meat into three-finger-wide pieces. When the time came, the refined oil was poured directly into the pot, no need to trouble.
As the owner, Dad Le is the most leisurely, just lighting the fire, washing the vegetables for lunch and other small things, and peeling bamboo skewers for barbecue in his spare time.
The men and women were busy until half past eleven. When all the work was done, 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 were sitting in the kitchen eating, and the men were setting up a table outside, and 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, Zhang Poluo and Liu Lu went to another place. Every family kills 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, blaming the young couple for not having the authority of their parents. He didn't even urge the girl to go home and so on.
The elders scolded them, but Le Dad and Zhou Qiufeng didn't even have room to resist. 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 to save them from the fire and water.
Le Yun also wanted to go home before the 28th, but she still hadn't found anything, so she could only run in the mountains in pain, and didn't emerge from the deep mountains and old forests until noon on the 28th.
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 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, the mountain people in some places still maintain their simple and enthusiastic nature. It is easy to hitchhike. Of course, those who speak the local dialect People, it is more difficult for people who speak foreign languages. They are afraid that if they do something good and don't say a good word, if something happens along the way, they will be beaten back and they will end up bankrupt.
I took a ride to the highway and waited for a long time for an empty van operated by the operator. I chartered a bus back to Jiudao Township. The van could only be delivered not far from Meizijing Village, as roads were blocked in some places.
After paying the money, Leyun carried her big and small bags and hurried forward. She passed by several houses on the way and was spotted by someone. She asked them questions. She also met several villagers on the road and was questioned again. .
After being asked N times, Le Xiao’s face almost froze with laughter, saying that she couldn’t bear it anymore and begging 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 road outside her building.
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. She saw the new mother standing holding something. While turning the meat in the pot, 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 towards the building jumping happily.
Hearing the shout, Zhou Qiufeng turned her head happily and saw Lele coming back. Lele's little cotton-padded jacket was wearing her father's camouflage uniform, carrying a backpack, and twisting the bulging bag in both hands.
She dropped the long-handled pot and spoon for mixing the meat in her hand and ran to meet them. When she ran to the side of the house, people rushed over. She grabbed two bags and helped carry them: "Lele, you are late again." "
I I also want to come back early, but I can't make it in time." Le Yun bared her teeth and jumped to the big pot to see if there was no delicious oil residue.
The meat that has been rendered into oil is called oil residue, and some are also called oil ribs, such as pork belly, which has been made into oil. There are also some meats with skin that are made into fragrant and especially crispy, which is a favorite among children.
Xiao Lele ran around 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, did you have lunch?"
"No, I saved my stomach and came back to eat pig head meat." In order to make her father and new mother happy, Leyun was not hungry and said she had not eaten.
"I left some delicious food for you. You put down your things and go take a shower, and I'll heat up the food for you." Dad Le heard that the sweet little cotton-padded jacket hadn't eaten yet, and wasn't curious about what the child had brought back, so he turned around and went 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 she saw what was in the bag. Did Xiao Lele run 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 that Lele had gone on a sweep again. Just as she expected, when she took the mushrooms and fungus, there was a tied bag underneath. When she opened it, there were all kinds of medicinal materials, including roots and 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 didn't care about taking out the things. She found clean clothes, took a bucket to the kitchen, poured hot water, took a shower in the bathroom behind the house, washed herself from head to toe, dried her hair, and rolled into the kitchen to eat.
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 were fed with grains. The meat was particularly delicious. The pig head meat was stewed fragrantly. Le Yun ate a lot of meat and boiled vegetables, making her eighty percent 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 into thin slices and marinated it in the sauce. Make it, marinate it for about ten minutes, grill it piece by piece, put the meat slices in the sauce and rinse them three or four times after grilling for a while. The grilled meat will be fragrant and extremely delicious.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, also had the opportunity to feast on his appetite. He ate until his eyes narrowed. He ate some for himself and sent some back to Zhou's house.
Grandma Zhou tasted two skewers, Zhou Chunmei, Zhou Tianming smelled the aroma wafting from Lejia and her mouth watered, but she was too embarrassed to go see what delicious food was made. When her aunt brought the barbecue, she greedily rushed to eat it.
At the moment of delicious food, the siblings also selectively put aside what their aunt said about the barbecue being made by Le Yun, and snatched up all the food. They were not satisfied yet, but no matter how greedy they were, they couldn't help but run to Lejia. He asked Le Yun for barbecue, so he had to smell the aroma secretly to satisfy his hunger.
Le Yun got enough of the barbecue addiction and ran to wash her clothes. After washing her clothes, she found that it was still early. She cut the meat again and made barbecue. She roasted it until it was cooked and set it aside to cool. When it was almost dark, she saved a lot and took it out from home. The vacuum packer I bought when I was home was connected to the power supply and packaged the barbecue.
Zhou Qiufengle's father is a daughter-in-law, and it's up to her to do whatever the child wants, 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 copy each to the Chao family and her teacher. They also readily agreed with her idea. She must be considerate and even help her grill, cut and package meat when she has 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 and refined the oil while doing housework. It was finished at about ten o'clock in the evening. The stove fire was turned off and all the oil drums were moved into the house. There was no need to move the stove and pots. Just set up a few bamboos and cover them with rainproof cloth.
