Scholars in the courtyard

On the other side, the chef at Restaurant Three, who had received the news in advance, had already started boiling water and preparing knives.

Yang Xiaotao and the others came outside the restaurant and placed a long table on the open ground as a chopping board.

Looking around, he rolled up his sleeves. Yang Xiaotao didn't use the Garuda knife in the space, but chose a kitchen knife and was ready to start.

Several assistant cooks nearby were also eager to try, looking at Yang Xiaotao with doubts.

Killing a pig is not a simple job, and you will see blood with just one cut.

"Here, pull it over!"

Yang Xiaotao waved and shouted, and someone immediately led the pig over with a rope.

The big fat pig rested on its belly and grunted on the ground, unaware that death was waving to it.

"Gong Yang, to kill the pig, you need to hit it with a hammer first. It will knock it unconscious so that it doesn't jump around."

Someone on the side suggested that Yang Xiaotao took the sledgehammer from Shanruliu and walked to the big fat pig.

Everyone watched with bated breath, waiting for Yang Xiaotao to make his move.

But wait and see, Yang Xiaotao didn't make any move.

Silly Zhu, who was watching the excitement outside, immediately shouted.

"Don't you dare to take action? Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? You really think you can be a cook with just a knife!"

Liu Lan and others beside him echoed, and more people were also muttering, maybe they didn't dare to do it anymore.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao stared at the big fat pig again and again, always feeling that something was wrong, as if the hammer would make his body uncomfortable.

I feel awkward, but I can't tell what's wrong with me.

Just when there was a lot of people outside, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

"Master Yang, don't do it, don't do it yet!"

The person who came had a bald head and a shiny face. Everyone looked and saw that it was Chef Li, the chef of the Third Canteen. Because his bald head looked bigger, he was also called Big Head Li.

"Master Li, what's wrong?"

Wang Guodong next to him immediately spoke when he saw it. Although Li Datou's cooking was not as good as Silly Zhu's, he was also an old man from a steel rolling mill. He was usually a just man and not so scheming.

"Director Wang, you can't kill this pig!"

Um?

Wang Guodong was confused, but before he could ask why, Yang Xiaotao breathed a long sigh of relief and threw the hammer aside, with excitement in his eyes.

"What's going on? If you have anything to do, please tell me immediately."

Wang Guodong asked anxiously, Li Datou took a deep breath, and saw Yang Xiaotao put down the hammer, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he pointed at the snorting big fat pig and said.

"Director, this is a sow!"

"And it's a sow that's pregnant with piglets!"

After Li Datou said this, the people around him immediately became excited and looked at the sow's belly.

This belly is really big.

Yang Xiaotao also walked up to the big fat pig, put his hand on his belly, and could feel the slight fetal movement.

And there are quite a few.

When everyone saw Yang Xiaotao's actions, a thought arose in their hearts, could it be true?

At this time, Li Datou came to the sow and continued.

"This must be the first litter. Look, this sow's body is crushed. That's because she's pregnant with piglets and her belly is heavy!"

"And the growing land has also become bigger."

"What does this mean? It means that this sow is pregnant, and it won't be long!"

Li Datou said, and Yang Xiaotao also opened his mouth to explain.

"Master Li is right. I also noticed just now that there is something wrong with this sow."

"Now I listened to Master Li's words. It's true."

Yang Xiaotao pointed at the sow's belly as he spoke, and Li Datou beside him quickly stretched out his hand to try...

Wang Guodong and others also came to investigate, and finally confirmed that the sow was pregnant.

Moreover, the time given by Yang Xiaotao is not short, and it is estimated that the cubs will be born in a few months!

"The people in this machine repair shop don't understand why they are pregnant with piglets. How can they eat them?"

Yang Xiaotao also nodded. If he were simply attacking a pig, he would not feel any burden if he hit the head with a hammer.

But this pig is pregnant, so he really can't do anything!

After Sha Zhu heard this, he snarled, thinking that he couldn't kill him, but when he saw Yang Xiaotao's compassionate look, he couldn't help but start preaching.

"Isn't it just that she is pregnant with a piglet? It's not like she can't be killed!"

"Yang Xiaotao, if you don't dare, just admit it. It's not fun for a big man to wait around!"

As Silly Zhu said, he did not notice that the people around him unconsciously distanced themselves.

Silly Zhu is so hard-hearted, it's better to stay away.

"Silly Zhu, get out of here. If this stupid pig gets pregnant with a baby, I won't beat you from now on."

Yang Xiaotao cursed, and Shazhu immediately got angry after hearing this. He was about to rush forward to argue, but Liu Lan desperately held him back.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it, and then said to the people around him.

"I can't kill him today. You should be busy with whatever you are doing."

"It's gone, it's gone"

After seeing the excitement, everyone knew that the pig could not be killed, so they dispersed.

However, the news here spread in the steel rolling mill. Yang Xiaotao earned a pig and even brought the cub with him. This kind of luck is really not something ordinary people can have.

"Xiao Tao, you are so lucky, I am convinced!"

Wang Guodong came over and looked at the old sow on the ground, and extended his thumb to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head helplessly, "I originally wanted to kill pigs for meat, but this is better. A litter has come and I have to take care of it!"

“I really don’t know what kind of reward it is!”

At this time, Li Datou came over and answered.

"Of course it's a good thing. You don't know, a pig like this is a treasure in the countryside. The piglets left behind will be subsidized with part of the feed. As long as they are raised, at least half of them can be kept!"

"Gong Yang, you are so lucky that you can't even stop me! You raised this rewarded pig, but the piglets that were left behind are all yours!"

Li Datou praised Yang Xiaotao for a while, and the cook next to him also nodded, feeling envious in his heart.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of raising pigs in the city, they would also like to contact several companies to raise one together so that they can kill it and eat the meat during the Chinese New Year.

It's a pity that people don't eat much nowadays, let alone feeding pigs.

Everyone dispersed, but Yang Xiaotao became embarrassed. This pig must not be kept in a courtyard. There was no one to take care of it. No one was at home to watch it during work. In the future, piglets were left behind and they ran all over the courtyard. How should we care about it?

Secondly, hygiene is not a problem.

After thinking about it, Yang Xiaotao thought it would be better to take it back to Yangjiazhuang and have someone help take care of it.

As for the local pig-raising policy, it has nothing to do with this pig.

Not to mention that this pig belonged to Yang Xiaotao, and the higher-ups had no way of asking where it was raised.

It turns out that the pig has been sold to the purchasing station. If you want to check, just go to the purchasing station to check.

Although he does not enjoy the subsidy for raising pigs, Yang Xiaotao believes that he can still afford it.

So, the only problem now is how to send the pigs to Yangjiazhuang.

"Send it back to the courtyard first."

"Let Yang Shitou come up tonight and get it back!"

Yang Xiaotao thought to himself, and asked the driver Lao Liu to help him take the sow to the courtyard.

Wang Guodong on the side also came to help.

The two got the pig to the car. Fortunately, the sow didn't like to make trouble when she was pregnant with her cubs, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

The three of them drove carefully towards the courtyard.

Steel rolling mill, in the office.

Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin sat together and talked about recent events.

There is also a document on hand, which is the daily maintenance regulations of machinery compiled by Yang Xiaotao.

"Old Liu, there's no news from the higher ups? This matter won't go south, right?"

"What's the rush? We're busy up there, so we don't have time to deal with this little thing."

Liu Huaimin was also worried about it. After all, if there was a talent in the factory, he would have to make some noise.

"You have the time, why not get this thing started, it will save you troubles!"

As he spoke, pointing to the maintenance regulations, Yang Youning nodded.

"Don't worry, I've already said hello to the people below, and it won't take long for it to be implemented."

Yang Youning picked up the water glass and took a sip, and then sighed again.

"This guy is quite capable!"

"I earned a pig quietly, and I got it from Lao Wang. It's not easy. I feel ashamed."

Liu Huaimin also laughed, "I've also heard about this. The machine repair shop is holding back their energy. You have to watch what's going on down there, don't let anyone laugh at you."

"Don't worry! Nothing will happen!"

"By the way, I'm going to give him an extra burden. Anyway, he will be an engineer soon. What do you think?"

"You let him do this?"

Liu Huaimin pointed to the documents on the table, and Yang Youning nodded.

"I plan to renovate all the machines in the factory to prevent minor problems from turning into big troubles. Since this guy has the ability, let's let him use it. We won't be wasting talent."

"You just have to do whatever you want. No one will interfere with the workshop, but in other aspects, you have to be prepared!"

Liu Huaimin reminded, Yang Youning nodded.

"But today, the logistics people came to ask for pigs. It must be the instigation of that guy. Why don't the superiors clean up this rat shit? The steel rolling mill is so clean!"

Yang Youning and Li Huaide didn't deal with them. They used to be in the audience, but now with the support of Xu Yuanshan and Chen Gong, they have become stronger and dare to compete in the ring.

This is what Li Huaide is afraid of.

"We have nothing to do with the things above. Just work hard!"

Yang Youning nodded, and before he could speak, secretary Li Qiang suddenly walked in and said a few words.

Yang Youning was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed heartily.

"Old Liu, I originally wanted to have a tooth ceremony, but I didn't expect that I can't eat this pork?"

"What's wrong? What happened again?"

"No, it's a good thing, it's fine. This kid is also lucky, and the machine repair shop suffered a big loss. Haha!"

"What happened?"

Yang Youning told the story again, and Liu Huaimin also smiled when he heard this, "This boy is really lucky."

On the other side, when the car arrived outside the Siheyuan Hutong, Yang Xiaotao thanked the two of them and asked Wang Guodong for a half-day vacation.

Then he jumped out of the car, dragged the sow down, found a wooden stick, and walked towards the courtyard.

In the front yard, the third aunt and others had heard that Yang Xiaotao had earned a pig, and they were all wondering if they could buy some meat in exchange.

The whole courtyard was talking about it, and the children were even more happy when they heard about it.

Even Mrs. Jia and Zhang were wandering around the yard with their sticks and stalks, telling everyone that Yang Xiaotao was going to kill the pigs and that everyone was asking for meat.

Just when the heat was spreading in the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao drove the pigs to the front yard.

The third aunt was sharp-eyed and ran over immediately, "Xiao Tao, I heard that you earned a pig, you are really awesome! Why doesn't my family have this ability?"

"Come on, Third Aunt will help you catch it. When you pick it up later, Third Aunt will go help you!"

With that said, the third aunt came up to drive the pig without taking her eyes off the pig's body.

Several other aunts in the yard also came over and looked around the pig.

Yang Xiaotao explained lazily and just hurried back to the middle courtyard.
