1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Dad, are we going to have stewed chicken tonight? Or fried chicken gizzards?"

After picking up Doudou, the little guy saw two white-striped chickens and a bag of chicken gizzards in the car and asked in confusion.

"You must have never eaten what Dad is going to make for you today." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Dad thinks hard every day, what delicious food should I make for my eldest daughter? My eldest daughter is so well-behaved, so cute, and so popular, I must make something delicious."

"Well, Doudou is popular, what delicious food should I make?" The little guy suddenly became energetic.

"Secret."

Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"Dad, what is a secret? Is it delicious?" Doudou became even more curious.

"Hahaha, secret means not telling you for the time being, and making it with Dad when you get home." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

If it were another child, he might be a little anxious. But for Doudou, this is not important. The important thing is to be able to cook with dad, which is very fun.

For the little one, she can't wait to get home now.

After all, her mouth is really picky now. If you stew white-striped chicken, it really has no taste. At least it has to be smoked chicken, that taste is fragrant.

"Dad, dad, hurry up." After returning home, the little one jumped out of the car and pulled his hand into the house.

"Don't worry, this chicken still needs to be marinated, and these chicken gizzards will also need to be stuffed into the chicken's stomach when the time comes." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Then how to eat it? Smoked it?" Doudou asked in some confusion.

"It's not smoked, Dad will take you to play in the mud today." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

Doudou didn't know what was going on, why did he have to play in the mud?

Back in the house, Chen Tiezhu first cleaned the gizzards, prepared the sauce, and soaked the chicken and gizzards in it.

Then he led the little guy to the backyard.

At this time, the little guy saw that there was indeed a pile of mud on the side.

"Dad, how do you play with mud?" Doudou asked.

"To play with this later, Dad has to dig a hole in the ground first, and then make a fire on it." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Dad, Doudou, get the fire shovel and help Dad dig a hole."

Doudou nodded his little head and ran into the house.

In fact, I still don't know what he is going to do, but it will definitely help.

It should be said that Chen Tiezhu's weird talk really aroused his eldest daughter's mind.

Because the house was to be rebuilt, no vegetables were planted in the area near the house. With the help of Doudou, a small hole was dug.

"Okay, now help daddy dress these two chickens."

Chen Tiezhu said as he brought over a basin of soaked zongzi leaves.

Doudou was confused. Aren't we going to eat chicken? What clothes should we wear? How should we dress them?

With three big question marks on his head, he tried to look at the side, wanting to see what he was going to do.

Chen Tiezhu looked at the little guy happily, then divided the gizzards into two piles and stuffed them into the chicken's stomach. Fold the head over and fold it like a whole smoked chicken.

After all this was done, he picked up a wide zongzi leaf and tied it to the chicken. One piece after another, it didn't take long to tie up half of the chicken.

"Dad, dad, Doudou can also dress chickens."

Doudou understood that this was a very simple thing.

For a little person, although this job was a bit laborious, it was also very enjoyable.

Of course, Chen Tiezhu had to help check for any deficiencies in the end. The leaves had to be wrapped with several layers anyway, otherwise the chicken would be burnt.

After wrapping the leaves, they were tied up with soaked horseweed grass, and the first step was done.

"Doudou, let's go play in the mud now." Chen Tiezhu called out.

"Yeah."

The little girl responded happily, picked up a chicken tied up, and ran to the back garden.

Chen Tiezhu couldn't keep up with her, her friends were her close comrades.

"Dad, what should we do?"

When he arrived at the back garden, Doudou asked crisply.

"The mud is a little dry, let's pour some water, and then paste it on the chicken, and then put a layer of mud clothes on them." Chen Tiezhu said and started to do it.

Doudou couldn't wait any longer, and after he poured some more water in, his little hands started to get busy.

They were having so much fun that their little mouths couldn't close.

For children, playing in the mud is a joy. Even if the little one's nose itches a little while playing, he raises his little hand to wipe it and gets a nose full of mud, but he doesn't care at all.

"Good boy, I said it's time for people to come back,The cat is here."

At this time, He Jianguo rushed over.

"Take Doudou to make beggar chicken, and then eat at my house tonight. There are two cats." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"No, Weimin will be back today." He Jianguo said with a smile.

"Oh, now it seems that you have made a decision? What do you plan to do in the future?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

"Just deal with that dealer. Feed is a good thing. It's still your business. It will definitely be good in the future." He Jianguo said.

Chen Tiezhu nodded, "That's no problem. I'll call the feed factory later and tell them that the dealer in our town is vacant."

"Don't worry about other things for now. We have to find a place to store the feed. It would be better if we can have a four-wheeler. We have to deliver feed to customers at that time."

"If you don't deliver it, people will be reluctant to buy it in the future. Anyway, the service must be in place. Normally, the policy of the feed company is that the highest proportion of the final payment is half, so the first batch of feed should be sold first. "

"Tiezhu, thank you so much. Oh..., this matter is actually quite irritating." He Jianguo sighed.

"Uncle Jianguo, you have to think like this. A living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine, it's nothing more than changing the way of life." Chen Tiezhu said.

"And let's talk about it now. I think Brother Weimin's personality is really not suitable for working in the system. It's good to be a small boss by yourself, and you will definitely make a lot of money in the future."

"Just say me, if I want to enter the system, wouldn't it be very easy? The starting point is definitely higher than that of Brother Weimin, but I don't want to be controlled by others, and I don't want to flatter others."

"Oh..., if it weren't for the girl's care, he wouldn't even have the current results. Uncle remembers your kindness to the girl. "He Jianguo sighed.

"That's too far off. How can you not take care of the whole village?" Chen Tiezhu said cheerfully.

"If you have nothing to do today, just continue to eat at my house. Our two families are not far apart. Even if you are working in the company now, you have done a lot of work that you shouldn't worry about. When have I thanked you?"

"Hahaha, then don't do these polite things. I really have to go home for dinner today. We have discussed it and made dumplings." He Jianguo said.

"Okay, then I won't keep you." Chen Tiezhu said.

Watching He Jianguo leave with his hands behind his back, Chen Tiezhu was also very relieved.

The path chosen by He Weimin now is much easier, and Uncle Jianguo won't have to worry so much in the future.

"Dad, work faster."

He was still thinking about it, and Doudou said.
