Chapter 533 Lin Xu: As a graduate of Central Finance and Economics, isn’t it normal to know how to kill pigs? [Please subscribe]
"Finally home!"
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xu got off the expressway and turned onto the second-level provincial highway heading to Longqi Mountain Scenic Area. Shen Jiayue, who had slept almost the whole way, rubbed her eyes and looked at the mountains in the distance, and her mood became brighter.
Finally returned to Yinzhou again.
I don’t know what the scenery on the mountain is like, and I don’t know if there are any big fish in the reservoir.
After looking at the mountains, the girl turned her face and looked back. She found that the bus was nowhere to be seen, and asked curiously:
"Why didn't they follow?"
Lin Xu said:
"Our whole journey is 120, and the bus can only go to 80 or 90. It is estimated that it will arrive an hour later than us."
In the back seat, Lin Hongqi looked at the messages on her phone:
"There are pigs raised by farmers in the nearby village. Your cousin said that he could help collect a few pigs. How many pigs would it be more appropriate for us to kill them?"
Although it is now rare to raise pigs at home, people in the mountains still have the habit of raising pigs and do not feed them any feed. They usually have leftovers or pigweed specially harvested, which can only be slaughtered in a year.
Lin Xu didn't expect to be able to buy farm-raised pigs, so he said:
"These pork are used to provide benefits to the employees of the scenic area and to serve as running banquets for guests. It is estimated to be quite a lot. I will kill five or six of them. Even if it is too much, it will be fine. I just take advantage of the cold weather to pickle some bacon and hang it up."
Whether you make bacon, soy sauce meat or smoked bacon, there will be no waste of ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about killing too many pigs.
Lin Hongqi said:
"Then let your cousin buy six pigs. The price is higher than the market price. It's not easy for people to raise pigs for a year, so we can't let them suffer."
As a former junior cadre of China Merchants Bureau, Lin Hongqi knows how to deal with nearby villagers.
When I bought yams last time, I deliberately raised the price to give the villagers a good impression of the scenic spot. This time I bought pigs and I didn’t plan to save money.
At the beginning of winter, he and Chen Meijuan also bought a batch of cotton-padded clothes and rice, flour, grains and oils and gave them to the lonely elderly people in the village. When delivering them, they specifically contacted the village committee and gave them in the name of charity.
In this way, the lonely old man got a benefit, and the village committee felt proud, and even specially notified the TV station to report on it. In the end, everyone was happy.
Sophistication is a science. Although many people despise tact, when doing business, only by being tactful can we gain a better foothold in this society.
When Lin Hongqi was sending a message on her mobile phone, Chen Meijuan next to her said:
"Tell Cousin Chunsheng to see if there are any better sheep in the village, and buy two. If you want to eat hot-boiled meat someday, you can kill them."
"I told him to buy some chickens, ducks, geese and so on. This year there are many people in the family, and we have to hold a running banquet, so the amount of these ingredients is relatively large."
While the couple was chatting in the back seat, Shen Jiayue's face in the passenger seat was beaming.
Wow, with so much meat, I can’t forget to exercise recently, lest I turn into a fat little guy and be laughed at by Yan Bao and the others when I go back.
From now on, I will climb Longshou Peak once a day to stay in shape, and I will be able to laugh at them when I go back.
When he arrived at the scenic spot, Lin Xu took out a bag of soft Chinese that was placed in the car and stuffed a pack into it when he saw relatives working in the scenic spot. Everyone had a share.
Lin Hongqi and Chen Meijuan looked at each other with happy smiles on their faces.
My son has changed a lot this year. When he was studying in Beijing, every time he came home during the holidays, he would just sit in the house and play games. He would not even say hello to these cousins when he saw them.
Now after doing business, I not only take the initiative to say hello to my relatives, but also know how to stuff cigarettes for my elders.
When the child is successful, the parents’ faces will also be bright.
Arriving at the farmhouse restaurant, Lin Xu found that the place had actually been expanded. The yard was tidier and larger. There was also a metal shed where the reservoir could be seen not far away. Visitors could sit in the shed while enjoying the lake view.
While eating.
After parking the car in the yard, several relatives who were helping in the kitchen immediately came out to say hello.
Shi Wenming is not here these days, but someone still has to cook the meals in the scenic spot, so a few relatives with cooking experience took the lead.
Lin Xu handed out cigarettes to everyone, while Shen Jiayue brought wedding cakes for everyone to taste and feel happy.
When the wedding was held in Beijing, none of the cousins here went.
Firstly, it’s quite busy, and secondly, it’s too troublesome. This time I made a flowing banquet just to entertain these relatives and friends of the Lin family.
While everyone was chatting, Shen Jiayue zipped up her down jacket and said with a smile:
"The temperature in my hometown is just a little lower. It's so cold in broad daylight."
When several relatives heard this, they quickly asked her to go in to warm up the fire. There was a coal stove in the house, which could not only keep warm, but also roast sweet potatoes and peanuts for eating.
A cousin said:
"You are hungry too, the food is ready and ready to eat at any time."
As soon as we set off from the capital today, Lin Hongqi asked the kitchen to prepare the ingredients so that everyone would not go hungry after getting off the bus.
Lin Xu looked at his phone and said:
"Just wait a moment. The large army has arrived at HD. It's not too far from here. Let's have dinner together when we arrive."
He glanced at the door of the kitchen and found a super large oval wooden basin about half a meter deep. The four walls were reinforced with iron hoops and asked curiously:
"What is this for? For killing pigs?"
My cousin smiled:
"The old butcher in the nearby village heard that we were going to kill pigs, so he sent us a set of equipment for killing pigs. In addition to this wooden basin, there are also meat hooks, racks and so on... Xiao Xuqian really knows how to kill pigs? Do you want to let me do it?
Is he here to help?"
Lin Xu said:
"No, I'll do it. As a chef, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to kill pigs and sheep."
Shen Jiayue curiously leaned over and took a look at the oversized and deep wooden barrel. She originally thought it was a bathtub, but she didn't expect it to be used for killing pigs.
"Xubao, how do you use this basin?"
Lin Xu said:
"It is used for scalding pigs. When killing a pig, you need to bleed it first, then fill it with hot water, and then put the pig in and scald it. Then you can scrape the hair of the pig, and then you can disembowel it and take out the internal organs."
With the pig-killing technique in hand, the whole process has been completely imprinted in my mind.
“Then can’t we eat butchered vegetables tomorrow?”
"Yes."
"I haven't eaten pig meat yet. I had it once in a restaurant before and I didn't think it tasted good."
Lin Xu pinched this girl’s cheek:
"Pork-killing dishes must be made with freshly slaughtered pork to taste delicious. If there is a slight delay, the taste will be greatly reduced. It does not taste good in the restaurant. It is most likely leftover. I will make a meal for you to try tomorrow.
, guaranteed to be delicious."
"Thank you Xubao!"
At this time, an aunt came out of the kitchen, holding some sweet potatoes, wild chestnuts, shelled peanuts and other snacks roasted in a coal stove:
"Xiao Xu, come and try it with your wife. It's just roasted. These chestnuts and sweet potatoes are sweeter than honey."
The sweet potatoes roasted slowly on a coal stove over low heat are full of aroma and sweetness, and there is even honey-like soup flowing out from the cracked skin of the sweet potatoes.
Chen Meijuan said to Shen Jiayue:
"This is your cousin, please say thank you."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Oh, the kids in this big city are polite, so hurry up and eat. We grew these sweet potatoes ourselves in the wasteland and can't buy them outside."
Shen Jiayue thanked her again, then picked up the sweet potato, tore off the skin and took a small bite.
As soon as she had it in her mouth, she said to Lin Xu:
"This sweet potato is delicious, sweet and fragrant, no worse than the honey potato we eat."
Lin Xu tasted it and it tasted really good.
While we were eating, a man in his fifties drove a farm three-wheeler into the yard, with six fat and strong pigs on board.
This is Zhang Chunsheng, Chen Meijuan’s cousin, and Lin Xu’s cousin.
Zhang Chunsheng, holding a cigarette in his mouth, drove the car to a corner of the courtyard, where a temporary pigsty had been built.
He turned off the car and said to Lin Hongqi before getting out of the car:
"The six pigs each weigh more than 300 kilograms. The price is a few dollars higher than the market price of live pigs. After all, they don't use feed. The meat is fragrant and solid, unlike the pigs on the market that are sold in three months.
, the meat is like adobe, not delicious at all."
Lin Hongqi said:
"Okay, this should be enough for the New Year."
Lin Xu walked over and stuffed cousin Chunsheng with a pack of cigarettes.
Zhang Chunsheng saw it and said immediately:
"This cigarette is too expensive. It's a waste to smoke it for me. You'd better smoke it for someone else."
Lin Xu smiled and stuffed it into his pocket:
"There is nothing to waste. Just keep it in your pocket. When the big car comes, I will get you two boxes of cigars. My father-in-law heard that you like cigars, so he brought an extra box."
Zhang Chunsheng was no longer polite:
"My nephew is really promising. He is such a talented person. Take a photo with me later. Last time I told them that you were my nephew, those bastards still didn't believe it. They insisted that I was trying to get relatives."
With the popularization of smartphones, rural people are no longer unfamiliar with short videos.
Lin Xu's videos have become popular on multiple platforms, and these relatives in his hometown must watch every issue, and they have also learned to like and other behaviors.
Zhang Chunsheng usually has a loud mouth. Seeing that people in the village like to watch Lin Xu's videos, he said that this is my eldest nephew. The villagers were stunned and didn't believe it.
So when he saw Lin Xu today, he wanted to take a group photo and slap those people in the face.
Lin Xu didn't expect that even though his cousin was fifty, he still liked to show off and slap people in the face, so he smiled and said:
"Stop taking pictures, I'll take them."
He took out his mobile phone, clicked on the personal account of the short video, selected the short video status, took a selfie while standing with Zhang Chunsheng, and said to the camera:
"I went back to my hometown today to celebrate the New Year. As soon as I got home, I met my cousin who came to deliver pigs. Six big fat pigs. They will start slaughtering them tomorrow. If you like to eat pig-killing vegetables, please sign up. I will take care of it tomorrow!"
Zhang Chunsheng must have watched a lot of short videos, and he quickly threw away the cigarette butts in his hand when Lin Xu was filming.
After Lin Xu finished speaking, he then said:
"Xiao Xu is my eldest nephew. If you have coins, please throw in two Bitcoins. If you don't have coins, please give me a thumbs up!"
After the video was uploaded, Zhang Chunsheng searched for it on his mobile phone and then forwarded it everywhere. Every time someone forwarded it, he said happily:
"Who the hell did you say last time that I was trying to get relatives? Open your eyes wide and take a look!"
Lin Xu put away his phone and asked curiously:
"Uncle Chunsheng, do you still know about Bitcoin?"
“I don’t know, just because you always say to throw in coins to like, is the coin you want to throw in Bitcoin?”
Lin Xu smiled, if everyone really invested in Bitcoin, then there would be no need to work so hard to open a restaurant. You could live a rich life just by investing Bitcoin.
Zhang Chunsheng forwarded it and soon received a bunch of invitations to drink.
Now all the people working in other places have returned, and everyone gets together to play cards or drink.
"What the hell are you drinking? My nephew just came back today and I have to accompany him."
After replying to the message, Zhang Chunsheng called Lin Xu's cousin and others, and together they drove the pigs in the car into the pig pen, and told his aunt and the others:
"From now on, these pigs cannot be fed with food, they can only be fed with water. If they are fed with food, it will be a troublesome task to kill the pigs and disembowel them tomorrow morning."
"I understand, Brother Chunsheng, don't smoke in the house later. If there are elderly people or children, don't harm others with second-hand smoke."
Not long after, the bus drove into the gate of the scenic spot, and then according to Chen Meiliang's guidance, it drove all the way to the farmyard.
Shen Guofu got out of the car and greeted everyone with a smile.
He stayed here for a few days during the National Day and was quite familiar with Lin Xu’s relatives.
This time I came here and everyone was familiar with it.
Mrs. Shen got off the car, looked at the surrounding mountains, breathed in the crisp, dry air, and said with a smile:
"This place is really nice. It's much better than the capital city. Is there a temple on this mountain? I'll have to climb up there in two days to burn incense and thank the mountain god for his blessing."
Mrs. Lin said:
"Okay, I'll climb with you then."
After everyone got out of the car, Lin Xu saw Dundun getting out of the car with his head peeping out. The little guy was a little unfamiliar at first, but after seeing the structure of the yard clearly, he suddenly remembered that he had been here half a year ago, so he got out of the car excitedly.<

It first went to the pool, turned around and found that there was no big fish in it, and screamed unhappily.
Then he ran around to the iron cage not far away. There was no goose in it, and the little guy was even more unhappy. However, when he heard the cry in the pig pen, he jumped onto the wall without knowing his strength, and jumped to the wall with great strength.
Roar at the big fat pig inside.
Shen Jiayue held it in her arms:
"These big fat pigs weigh more than 300 kilograms. Isn't it too bloated for a kitten of less than 13 kilograms to run wild here?"
Han Shuzhen said:
"I was very excited when I first got in the car. I looked around. When we got on the highway, it actually felt a little motion sick. It stayed in my arms for a long time, then jumped onto the luggage rack and fell asleep by itself."
Shen Jiayue didn't expect cats to get carsick:
"Ouch, our Dundun still gets motion sickness, so next time we might as well take a car."
I came to the house with the little one in my arms. The food had been prepared. There were several tables with all kinds of dishes. It was very complete. Even Dundun steamed a piece of silver carp meat with the fish bones removed.
After everyone washed their hands and faces, they sat down and started eating.
Chen Shaokang and others were not hungry because they ate almost all the way. When they went to the service area, they also bought a bunch of potato chips, shrimp crackers and other puffed foods.
They each took a sip of soup and then went outside to look at the big fat pigs around the pig pen.
Dundun ate a few mouthfuls of fish, followed him sneakily, leaned on the wall, and gathered with Chen Shaokang and others to watch the pig Heng Heng inside.
In the restaurant, Lin Xu took a scallion roll and ate the dishes on the table.
Chen Meide, Chen Meiliang, Lin Hongjun and others opened several bottles of liquor and pulled Shen Guofu to start drinking.
Han Shuzhen was busy chatting with Lin Xu's aunt, aunt and others, and didn't care about Lao Shen.
After a busy year, I came to Yinzhou just to relax my body and mind. If you want to drink, just drink some. Anyway, there are many places to exercise here, so I don’t have to worry about Lao Shen not getting enough exercise.
Lin Xu was eating and talking about his plan to kill the pig:
"Keep the pig blood, use part of it to stuff blood sausage, and boil part of it in water to make blood clots. You can eat fried pig blood and hairy blood later."
Shi Wenming said:
"You can also fill it with some sausage. This is easy to make and can be eaten in a few days. In addition, the pig head is stewed and made into pig head stew, which is perfect for the Chinese New Year."
Pigs are full of treasures, and everything from the pig’s head to its tail can be eaten.
Shen Guofu, who was drinking, interrupted:
"The big bones are boiled into soup, and the rest is made into sauced big bones, and then some garlic white meat. This kind of freshly killed pig is used to make garlic white meat, which is much more fragrant than ordinary pork."
In the early years, he followed Mrs. Shen to her hometown in Northeast China to celebrate the New Year, and encountered pigs being killed several times, so she was deeply impressed.
Lin Xu said:
"Okay, we'll make arrangements for tomorrow."
Mrs. Chen looked at her grandson and asked:
"Xiao Xu, is it okay for you, a college student, to kill pigs? Why don't you ask your uncle to hire a butcher? I won't hurt you again."
Lin Xu said:
"Don't worry, grandma, I can kill pigs, there's no need to invite anyone from outside."
Graduates from the School of Finance are best at making pig-killing trays for cutting leeks. As a graduate of this major, it’s normal for me to know how to kill pigs, right?
After eating and drinking, everyone unloaded their luggage from the car. After the driver drove the bus away, everyone began to move their things to where they were staying.
Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue live in their own cabin.
The B&B area was not rented out at first, but later it was cheaper for my family. Now Lin Xu has one, Lin Hongqi and Chen Meijuan have one, and Chen Yuanyuan also had one when she was working.
Mrs. Shen did not go to live in the mountains, but lived with Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Chen in the visitor center next to the farmhouse.
In order to make the elderly people live comfortably, Lin Hongqi had installed floor heating in the house during the last construction, and also built a large fire pit. He could burn it outside before going to bed, and it would keep him warm all night.
After moving her luggage into the small courtyard of the B&B, Shen Jiayue put on outdoor clothes and a windproof hat, and drove the scenic commuter car to the reservoir with Chen Yuanyuan, planning to go boating.
Lin Xu, on the other hand, drove Shen Guofu, Chen Meiliang and others, bypassing the reservoir and the Starry Sky Base, and headed to the racecourse deep in the scenic area.
Compared with the last time I came here, an asphalt road has been built here. At the end of the road is a huge single building. From a distance, it looks like a newly built stadium.
When I got closer, I realized that this was an open-air racecourse with flat terrain and a huge area, comparable to a football field. The venue was also filled with sand suitable for horses to run.
Surrounding the racecourse are spacious stables, which are divided into many areas, and each area has isolation zones.
Above the stables are the racecourse's stands and VIP rooms. There are also members-only suites where you can stay and stay.
In addition to these, the entire racecourse also has horse treadmills, horse bathing areas, pony activity areas, dining areas, leisure areas, wild horse grazing areas, etc.
The entire racecourse is fully functional and magnificent.
Standing inside, you can seem to hear the neighing of horses.
"How's it going, Xiaoxu? Is it okay?"
Shen Guofu looked around, turned his face and asked Lin Xu.
Lin Xu didn't know much about horse racing. The only experience he had riding a horse was when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school. He and his parents queued up to ride a white horse in the park for a while.
In my impression, the horse was dirty, with dull eyes, and whip marks all over its body. It didn’t react when I rode it, and it would only walk slowly.
At that time, Lin Xu couldn't feel the feeling of riding a horse at all, so he came down quickly and followed Chen Meijuan to buy candied haws.
Now thinking back to what happened when he was a child, Lin Xu said:
"I don't know much about this aspect. Let's let the professional team evaluate it later. If there are no problems, we will start to introduce horses."
Chen Meidian nodded:
"Yes, let's let a professional evaluation team come after the year. It's such a big stall. What will we do if no one comes to play?"
This issue is at the heart of running a racecourse.
No tourists means no income. In that case, no matter how big the investment is, it will be in vain.
But Lin Xu didn't worry about this. He smiled and said:
"When the time comes, I will be responsible for diverting traffic, so you don't need to worry about it. As long as you run the racecourse well and train the quality of the employees, I will be responsible for the rest!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Well, when it opens, I will bring Dundun here to stay for a while and let him be a little Bima Wen, so tourists won’t be able to come here.
This little guy is completely a bug around me. If it weren't for the inexplicable problem, I really want Dundun to participate in international trade and take advantage of foreigners.
Australian iron ore and Middle East oil can all be involved...
However, it is a bit redundant to think about these things at the moment. It is better to take care of your own affairs first. As for the racecourse, we will talk about it at that time.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Xu suddenly heard a system prompt in his mind:
"The host is worried about the future of the racecourse and triggers the main task [Racecourse Makes Famous]: Please try to increase the popularity of the racecourse before introducing horses to the racecourse, so that the popularity of the racecourse rushes to the top ten hot searches in the country and remains for at least five hours. After completion
There will be a lottery for lost cooking techniques, a lottery for innovative techniques, and a lottery for Sichuan cuisine flavors!"
What?
Does this trigger the main quest?
Breaking into the top ten hot searches... Isn’t this too difficult?
You must know that when you have a horse, you may not be able to hit the hot search. Now without a horse, reaching the top ten of the hot search is as difficult as asking Shen Jiayue to make boiled cabbage.
But...
As the saying goes, opportunities and risks coexist.
High difficulty also brings high rewards. The rewards for this task are actually lost cooking techniques, innovative cooking techniques and Sichuan cuisine lottery. The three rewards all represent a bunch of dishes.
Once completed, the dishes in the store may be updated.
In this case, let’s give it a try. While you’re at home during the Chinese New Year, think about how to increase your reputation. If you succeed, you’ll make a lot of money.
Lin Xu, Chen Meiliang and Shen Guofu looked around again, and then drove back.
The next morning.
Just after six o'clock, Shen Jiayue's alarm clock rang:
"Get up, get up, get up, the pigs are being killed, but you can't get up late. If you get up late, you won't be able to see the pig killing scene... Xu Bao, don't sleep, get up and watch the pig killing... Oh, it's you who is killing the pig, that's okay.
”
Lin Xu sat up with a smile:
"Since you're awake, don't go to sleep. Get dressed and get up. Let's kill the pig!"
