1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Tiezhu, are you really going to cut off a piece and sell it?"

Lao Cao frowned and asked.

Chen Tiezhu nodded, "Now it has been proven that this thing can grow slowly, so cutting off a piece should be okay, right?"

"It's okay, you picked it up. I always feel that if such a natural treasure is cut off like this, it will be against the harmony of nature." Lao Cao said.

"Uh..., I forgot to consider such a situation." Chen Tiezhu also frowned.

So it is quite right. After all, he is still a little superstitious in his heart now, and some things are really hard to explain.

"But I have let the old man of the Zhou family spread this, and now I don't know how many people have heard it." Chen Tiezhu continued.

"Go back and call Mr. Zhou to ask." Old Huang was happy.

"What do you mean? You mean that although Mr. Zhou agreed, he also took this into account, so he didn't tell anyone?" Chen Tiezhu asked in confusion.

Lao Huang shook his head, "I don't know anything, but I believe in fate. If Mr. Zhou told people, that's fate. If Mr. Zhou didn't tell people, that's also fate."

"Hahahaha, I'm blocking both ends. When playing Feng Shui, you have to play it like this, so that you can say everything without leaking anything and people can't find any mistakes."

The other three people also laughed.

Chen Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed too.

Instead, Lu Dan, who came to watch the fun, was a little confused. What's the point of this? Haha, have fun, and then it's over?

"Okay, you guys have fun, I still have to prepare today's meals. All the employees of my company are here, they are not outsiders." Chen Tiezhu said, and then went to the outer room to work.

"Master, what do they mean?" Lu Dan asked in confusion.

"What do you mean? Actually, it's a very simple thing. This is Old Huang reminding us." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

"The three brothers have a little less self-control. Facing such a treasure, we can't say that they are greedy. But they are also thinking about whether they can get some benefits."

"Old Huang is just fate. Don't force it. I am the same. I guess Zhou'er's grandfather has never thought about helping me sell Tai Sui."

"How do you know?" Lu Dan wrinkled his nose.

"If you don't believe it, just call Mr. Zhou to verify it. Anyway, he is not an outsider." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"I'll go to light the fire. The pig's head should be almost cooked." Lu Dan stopped immediately. She had no electricity.

She forgot about this. How could she dare to make this call.

"Uncle Jianguo, go inside. The people inside are all my friends, and the other one is Li Yinglin. They are not outsiders." Chen Tiezhu greeted.

"This braised pig's head is so delicious. There are also steamed meat and steamed cabbage. Why don't you leave more meat for Doudou?" He Jianguo said.

"What to leave? There are still a lot of ribs for her. Now the weather is getting warmer, and it will thaw in a few days." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"But it will be better next year. By then, I will have a cold storage. If anyone has too much meat to store, they can put it in the cold storage. It's much better than outside."

"You dare to think so. Everyone, go in. Tiezhu is the real expert in cooking." He Jianguo also said.

"Dad, dad, it's time to fry the meatballs, right?"

Doudou ran out happily.

"You didn't forget to eat it at all. It will be fried in a while. You have to get the pig's head out." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Eat the eye socket meat." Doudou said happily.

"Okay, then dad will get you a piece of eye socket meat first, and then you can eat it with sister Yingzi and sister Dandan." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Then he took a pig head out of the pot, and even though it was still steaming, he was very skillful in picking the meat off.

Put the pig eye socket meat on a plate, and then add a little garlic sauce, and it's done.

Two adults and one child, three girls, ate it so deliciously. Lu Dan even gave a thumbs up, this thing must be delicious.

Chen Tiezhu was also very clear about cooking. At around 11 o'clock in the afternoon, all the food was ready.

There were not many dishes, but the amount was large.

At least Li Yinglin kept rubbing his arms before eating.

Cabbage sandwiches are delicious, but meat stuffing is not easy to chop.

Not to mention that today's cabbage sandwiches are all steamed in a small pot, and the amount is much larger than a bowl.

"Although Second Master and Old Master are of higher seniority, I will be the one to raise the glass of wine today. Everyone please sit down." Chen Tiezhu stood up and said,

"There are fellow villagers and elders, new friends and old friends. The next year will be a very hard year. But it is also a year full of opportunities."

"Let's take advantage of this good day of the Dragon's Head Rising, and strive to live with our heads held high no matter this year or any year in the future. Cheers!"

After saying that, he drank such a large cup of wine directly.

Who can be vague about this matter?

Even Lu Dan and Han Xiuying, although their cups are smaller, drank it in one gulp.

Doudou looked at it and thought, forget it, let's just eat a piece of pig's snout.

"Okay, it's still our old tradition. Take care of yourself. Eat as much as you can and drink as much as you can." Chen Tiezhu added happily.

It's not the first time that everyone has eaten at his house, and it's done.

"It must be said that it's much more lively here in Tiezhu than in the provincial capital." Grandpa Han said happily, and pushed his wine glass forward.

"Grandpa, don't drink too much." Han Xiuying warned.

"Don't drink too much, don't drink too much, today is a happy day." Grandpa Han hurriedly added.

Seeing the old man like this, everyone also laughed.

"Tiezhu, when do you plan to organize the mountain temple?" asked the second master.

"You have to wait until you are done with this busy period. Building a mountain temple is definitely different from building other houses. You have to think about it carefully when the time comes, right?" Chen Tiezhu said.

"That's for sure, but your friends are here too, so you can ask them for reference when the time comes." The second master said happily.

"This guy, I was really busy today." Chen Tiezhu also laughed.

On the contrary, the four people looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces became more bitter.

"Tiezhu, how dare we arrange this matter. Do you really want to build a mountain temple? Not just a casual decoration?" Old Huang frowned and asked.

When they heard him say this, everyone looked over.

Even the folks eating at the table next to them were like this.

Is there any other explanation here?
