1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Sister Yingzi, Sister Yingzi, get in the car quickly and go home to eat stewed rabbit."

Seeing Han Xiuying coming out of the town government, Doudou, who was lying by the car window, shouted happily.

"Did you act naughty at home today?" Han Xiuying asked casually after getting in the car.

"No, I went to make friends with my dad, not Doudou."

The little guy said, and squeezed his little body into Han Xiuying's arms, looking aggrieved.

"What are you talking about? What about making friends, but not being friends." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"Uh..., that's what, she saw the little squirrel, and then she robbed the little squirrel's nest." Chen Tiezhu said hurriedly.

Han Xiuying was also happy, this little guy was just good at making trouble. It's normal to rob the little squirrel's home.

"And, and, there's the big tiger. We've met once or twice, and we're good friends after meeting twice more." Doudou added hurriedly.

Hearing Doudou's words, Han Xiuying's face suddenly darkened, "You're quite capable, you dare to take Doudou to make friends with the tiger."

"You can't just listen to Doudou, she can't explain it clearly." Chen Tiezhu said with a wry smile.

"If you can explain it clearly, and then feed it meat and peanuts, we're good friends." Doudou added.

"Yes, you explain it clearly." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"Today there are many people at home, so I took Doudou to the mountains to hide, and then I found someone sneaking up Erdaoling. This yellow fly is really a jerk. After being cheated by me, he spent 800 yuan to hire people to cut down the jujube trees."

"I tell you, it's a good thing I was there today. Otherwise, those four people would have been harmed by the tiger. I was calm in the face of danger. I knew that the tiger was full and would not miss our food."

"But they didn't listen and planned to fight the tiger. This is me, I was..."

"Come on, you show off everything you do. Tell me why you are so troublesome? What should I do if something bad happens?" Han Xiuying was too lazy to listen to him and started to complain.

"I'm warning you. If you continue to be so careless, I'll really punish you. You don't have to do anything. If you want to find tigers, go find tigers. If you want to find wild boars, go find wild boars. Don't bring Doudou with you."

"Well, I'll stay in the village from now on and grow mushrooms in peace." Chen Tiezu said obediently.

"Even if you are greedy, you can only go around the Toudaoling at most and catch wild rabbits, pheasants, etc. On this point, you must resolutely obey the orders of the leaders."

Han Xiuying rolled her eyes.

How could she not know that this guy was just fooling herself? If he could stay peaceful, the old sow could climb a tree.

Chen Tiezhu glanced behind him quietly and saw Han Xiuying and Doudou playing around, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is considered a fool.

He was also very puzzled. Now the two of them have officially confirmed their relationship, but he was more afraid.

It wasn't like this before. I could just get away with it by laughing.

How did he do this?

Han Xiuying was also very worried about this guy who would sneak a glance at her when he had nothing to do.

He was so sneaky, why was he so annoying.

"What are you doing? Why are you all in my pigpen?"

I just got home and saw Erye, Uncle Jianguo and Professor Xu talking about something by the pigpen.

"Tiezhu, your pig is really amazing. It looks like it was blown by air. How come it grows so fast?" He Jianguo asked in confusion.

"Hey, it grows fast, right? I estimate that it can grow 70-80 taels a day now. Let's try to see if it can break through 200 kilograms." Chen Tiezhu said proudly.

"Why does it grow so fast? Is it because it's covered with plastic sheeting?" He Jianguo asked in surprise.

If it grows this way, it will be easy to break through 200 kilograms when the New Year pig is slaughtered.

"He? Now he feeds the fat pigs four times a day." Han Xiuying said helplessly.

"Three meals a day, morning, noon and evening, and we have to feed them something before going to bed at night. Now the pigs are so full that they sometimes fall asleep before they finish the fourth meal."

"That's it, it proves one of my theories. It's not the pigs' fault that they are thin, the key is feeding them." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Wait until the spring, I will catch some more pigs. Then I will build a row of pig pens next to the mushroom factory and use them to raise pigs. And you can't just raise them casually, you have to raise lean pigs."

"Tiezhu, even though you are quite capable, you are wrong about this." He Jianguo said with a smile.

"Fat is more expensive than lean meat, and you raise lean pigs, isn't that the wrong way? And with this feeding method, it's hard to make much money., cornmeal, rice bran, bran, etc., which are not cheap either. "

"Uncle Jianguo, I'll ask you a question. If you eat meat now, what kind of meat do you like to eat?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

"Of course there are fat and lean ones. Especially the pork belly you stewed with sauerkraut, it tastes really good." He Jianguo said without thinking.

"Even for such pork belly, there are differences, right? Upper pork belly or lower pork belly?" Chen Tiezhu asked again.

"This..., it's strange. I used to be proud of the upper pork belly, and it was really delicious to eat a piece. But now I seem to be more proud of the lower pork belly with more lean meat? What's going on?" He Jianguo thought for a while and asked in confusion.

"Yes, it is said that in the past, the meat slices should be fat and fragrant. But recently, when I pick up my chopsticks, I seem to be picking up the ones with more lean meat. "The second master also said something.

Even Professor Xu nodded.

This is not the first or second time that he has eaten at Chen Tiezhu's house, and he also has this feeling.

"Why is it, because we have eaten too much meat recently." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Although fatty meat tastes good, it is not as sticky as lean meat. But after there is too much oil and water in the stomach, eating too much fatty meat will make you feel a little greasy."

"Take my eldest daughter for example. When we used to steam pork with buckle, we had to eat four or five slices for a meal. Now it's not possible, three slices are enough."

"So, in the future, as people eat more meat, lean pork will be easier to sell. After all, it's different from the past. In the past, if you wanted to eat a bite of meat, you had to wait for festivals."

"So what we have to do is to take the pulse accurately. If we take the pulse accurately, we can make money."

"Haha, no matter what you do, I will learn from you. "He Jianguo smiled and said.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they started to laugh.

It doesn't matter what he said, just keep an eye on Chen Tiezhu, he won't pit himself anyway.

"Okay, let's eat first, my daughter is craving meat again." Chen Tiezhu smiled and greeted.

"Yeah, really craving."

Doudou beside him nodded his head seriously to give affirmation.
