Originally, there were a few people in the village who could talk to Li Jinbiao's family, but today it turned out that this family was really stupid, so everyone stayed away from their home sensibly, so as not to harm their own family in the future.
After seven or eight o'clock, everyone had their share of meat, and even the pig's head and water were taken away, leaving nothing left.
Because if you don't want pork but want to go into the water, you can take more, so there are still many people who are willing to take these pigs into the water, but it is more troublesome to clean and pick them up.
Everyone in the village lacks everything except time. There is plenty of time to do things slowly.
In the end, there were still more than ten kilograms of wild boar meat left. Originally, there was not so much left, but because the old lady Li Jinbiao made such a fuss, she didn't have the nerve to share it, and a lot was saved.
So Zhang Jianwen now brought two wild boar bellies and the remaining ten kilograms of wild boar meat to Zhang An's family.
"Uncle, didn't I tell you that you don't need to share this meat with our family? Just give it to everyone."
Zhang An saw the old village chief carrying a piece of meat and thought it was specially reserved for his family.
Zhang An is not superstitious about how much wild boar meat is better. In this era, pork from domestic pigs is the best.
"Everyone has already divided it up. These are the rest. Even though you said you didn't want it, everyone got it. You, the master, didn't take any of it. Take it quickly and enjoy it."
Hearing that everyone had been given their portions, Zhang An took it over. At first he didn't want it, mainly because he felt that the wild boar meat would not taste good if it was not cooked properly.
A few years ago, when the village hunted wild boars every year, every family got some.
At that time, family conditions were poor, and Wang Fang was very frugal. It was impossible to buy meat at ordinary times.
Even the wild boar meat that I received was considered to be sold for money, although sometimes I still kept it for my family to eat.
Although wild boar meat was said to be unpalatable at that time, it was much better than not eating it at all, so I didn’t want to be picky about it.
But it's different now. Zhang An often goes to town, and every time he goes there, he buys some meat. The pork at home has never been cut off recently.
"Jianguo, Zhang An, these two wild boar bellies are treasures. Keep them away, but there will be many people fighting for them."
Just now, many people were thinking about getting rid of pork and wanted this thing, but there were only two in total. If they gave it to anyone, the others would not be happy.
So Zhang Jianwen simply didn't give it to anyone and brought it all to Zhang An's family, so that no one could say anything and no one would be offended.
Wild boars will eat anything in the mountains, including everything that is edible and not edible.
Not only do they eat it, they can also digest everything they eat. This is the strongest point of wild boar belly, so this pig belly is a good treasure that is invulnerable to all poisons and is suitable for both good and bad.
I heard from the old people that wild boar belly can promote digestion and is sometimes used for stomach problems. There are many recipes that use wild boar belly.
Although Zhang An himself doesn't know how to pick up this thing, but his second grandfather is here, so this thing will always be used when it is needed, and there is no accident if it is prepared.
Before the village elder left, Zhang Jianguo asked other people about their inspections on the mountain.
In the end, everyone concluded that no one in the other groups encountered wild boar, not even any trace of wild boar.
Zhang An and his group were so lucky that they encountered two pigs at one time, including one old-toothed pig that looked like a hill.
Therefore, the villagers do not need to worry about the crops in the fields for the time being. The two wild boars that were shot yesterday, their descent from the mountain was a rare accident, and it was not that the wild boars came down the mountain in advance.
It was night, and Zhang An didn't feel very tired when he wasn't lying down. As soon as he lay down, Zhang An felt sleepy and fell asleep within a few minutes.
Because I was really tired during the day, especially after losing strength.
On the second day, Zhang An didn't even hear the rooster crow. He slept until noon and woke up only after the sun was shining on his buttocks.
When he woke up, it was already time for lunch, and Wang Fang had already prepared the meal.
"Mom, why didn't you wake me up?"
Zhang An rubbed his eyes and watched his mother bring out the dishes from the kitchen.
"Why are you getting up? There's nothing to do at home right now. I want you to sleep a little longer. Go wash your face and come over for dinner."
"good."
Zhang An responded, took his things and went to the yard to wash up.
Only then did I see my father coming back from the door.
"Where have you been, Dad."
"I sent a bucket of herbal tea to the builders who built the house. The weather is too hot."
After Zhang An finished washing, the family started to eat.
Today Wang Fang made pork stewed vermicelli, which was one of Zhang An’s favorite dishes when he was a child.
The vermicelli is made at home, and the pork is wild boar meat sent by the old village chief yesterday.
Wang Fang's craftsmanship is good, and she can handle this fishy wild boar meat so that there is no smell at all.
Every family in the village grows sweet potatoes and potatoes, so they make a lot of vermicelli every year.
Because this stuff is dry goods, it can be stored for a long time and is easy to make.
Such big dishes as stewed pork vermicelli and braised pork were not something I had the opportunity to eat often when I was a kid. Wang Fang would only cook them once during the Chinese New Year.
Zhang An and his family were having lunch in the yard, when Li Hongbin came to the door.
When Wang Fang saw Li Hongbin coming, he said hello and brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Li Hongbin was not polite and started eating with the bowl in hand. He was no longer the polite visitor, but now regarded himself as the host.
"Zhang An, why did I hear people in your village say that you knocked over a big wild boar with one hand? Are you so fierce? I haven't noticed it at ordinary times."
Many people in the village who have nothing to do like to go over and watch the masters of the construction team repair their houses, especially the group of stonemasons in the village.
After a few days, they became familiar with Li Hongbin's construction team.
Before finishing work last night, this group of old masters saw so many people gathered around the village's sun drying yard, which seemed quite lively, so they asked about it.
Then the people in the village told the masters of the construction team that wild boars were hunted in the village and everyone in the village could share the meat.
Everyone is always envious of the fact that in Changqing Village, meat is divided among people. The master builders of houses are all from different villages, so their village would not have such a good thing.
So I became even more curious. However, yesterday there were not many people present to see Zhang An picking wild boars, only about ten people in that group.
However, there will always be deviations from one mouth to another. When it reaches the last person, it will be Zhang An holding a steel fork and stabbing two large wild boars with one hand.
The workers and masters didn't believe it at first, but seeing that the people in the village swore that what they said was true, they actually started to believe it.
When Li Hongbin came, he saw the guys chatting and working, and then heard these words, and couldn't help but wonder if Zhang An was still a human?
He thought he had heard wrong. Although Zhang An was tall, he was usually tall and thin and did not look like a person with such great strength.
This is exactly what Xiang Yu, the overlord of the world, is still alive.
"Who did you hear this from? You must have read too many martial arts novels."
In the end, I had to briefly talk to Li Hongbin to dispel this guy's curiosity.
Just now, Li Hongbin pinched Zhang An's arm while talking.
It gave Zhang An goosebumps.
Maybe it was because he looked at his mother next to him who looked a little unhappy. He had managed to coax her out yesterday, but today Li Hongbin brought up the matter again, so Zhang An quickly changed the subject.
"Mom, the pork stewed vermicelli made today is so delicious. I haven't seen you make it for a long time. I will make it more often in the future."
Li Hongbin is also a good person. He immediately noticed that something was not right in the atmosphere, so he quickly struck up a conversation and changed the subject.
"My aunt is really good at cooking. Everything she cooks is delicious. I need to eat two bowls of rice today."
The two acted well and made Wang Fang laugh.
It is said that Zhang An's family was having lunch, and on the other side of Huang Erye's house, the old man called his eldest son's house.
Yesterday, Zhang An saved their family Huang Ming in such a dangerous situation.
This is a life-saving grace, and you must come to thank you, and the scene must not be small, otherwise some people will say that you are not doing enough and that you are not a good person.
Very early in the morning, Mr. Huang called his eldest son over to prepare things.
Mr. Huang didn't go with him yesterday, but Huang Zhengbiao followed him all the time, so he didn't have any opinion on this matter. This was what he should do.
"Dad, what do you think we can bring you? Maybe we can give you some money."
Although Huang Zhengbiao is in his forties, he has little experience in this matter, so he can only ask his old man.
When Mr. Huang heard his son ask himself, he smashed the leaf cigarette in his mouth and thought about it.
"I'm talking about your brain. What do you mean by giving money to others? Is Zhang An's family short of money? If you send money to others, it will be seen as perfunctory."
Zhang An's family is now considered the only one in Changqing.
A new house built in that style would cost at least tens of thousands of dollars.
Such a family will definitely not be short of money. If you send money to your doorstep, isn't it just perfunctory and insincere?
Huang Dabiao was taught a lesson by his father, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He had not been taught a lesson by his father for many years at his age.
After coming back last night, he thought about going to thank Zhang An's family.
So in the evening at home, when I was discussing with my mother-in-law about getting money, the couple had a big quarrel.
Huang Zhengbiao's mother-in-law is Li Xingyan, who is related to Li Jinbiao's family and is Li Jinbiao's niece.
Although Zhang An did save her son yesterday, in her heart, she didn't care that much.
How dangerous can a wild boar that a 20-year-old boy can kill be? There are so many men from the village nearby, so even if Zhang An doesn't take action, nothing will happen to him in the end.
Even if the villagers were talking about it, she felt that it was definitely an exaggeration.
Also because of the incompatible grievances between Li Jinbiao's family and Zhang An's family, she herself viewed Zhang An's family with colored glasses.
Moreover, last night, her mother-in-law pushed her cousin to the ground and beat her. She had no face at all with her parents' family, and she was constantly being talked about and bullied. Now she felt very angry.
Huang Dabiao wanted to use his family's money to buy things and come to thank Zhang An. He also took a lot of money, but he set her on fire.
In the end, the couple went crazy at home. She refused to take out the money no matter what, saying that Zhang An's family was greedy for her family's money.
Li Xingyan said, "You can kill a beast in your twenties, but you, a man in your forties, can't kill you? You are still not a man if you put your son in danger."
Huang Ming was really frightened yesterday. He used to make a lot of noises, but now he seemed like a completely different person.
Only those who have experienced such a scene know how scary it is, so when his father said he should thank others, he agreed.
Zhang An was like a god descending to earth. The scene of Zhang An jumping down to save him was deeply engraved in his heart, and it would be difficult to forget it in this life.
But when he saw his mother being so unreasonable and making trouble for the relatives on his grandmother's side, who were still cousins, he was furious. Who should be closer to those poor relatives or to him, his biological son?
Unable to bear it, he also joined the battlefield. In the end, the family quarreled for half the night before they quieted down.
Huang Dabiao felt that his mother-in-law was really hopeless. After she got married, she had always looked after her mother-in-law. Instead, she treated Huang Ming's grandparents in a perfunctory manner. She didn't show any filial piety that she should have, and she kept clamoring to separate the family.
, and finally her wish came true.
Now it's even more outrageous.
In the end, the father and son ignored her, leaving her to go crazy.
So the father and son took the money and went out in the morning without saying a word to her, just letting her do whatever she wanted.
Mr. Huang thought for a while and then said to his son: "Zhang An likes to feed animals at home. Just look at the ones in his house. We do have a half-sized calf at home, but it will definitely not be good to send it over."
Will want it."
"Hey, by the way, Dad, there are people feeding goats in the village next door. There are no goats in Zhang An's house. How about I go get one back? It won't cost much anyway, and it can still show our sincerity."
Huang Dabiao thought of a family in the village next door who raised a few black goats, and immediately told the old man.
When Mr. Huang heard this, he thought it would work. Goats were not expensive, and Zhang An didn't have any at home. He thought he would like it, and it would also let others see his true feelings.
At that moment, the father, son, grandfather and grandson went to the next village to buy goats.
Not long after dinner at Zhang An's house, there was a burst of lama's voice outside the door, followed by the crackling of firecrackers, which rang out at the door of Zhang An's house.
The scene got so big that it attracted neighbors from nearby villages.
The family walked to the yard to see what was going on and found many people from the village gathered around the door.
Everyone in the village likes to join in the fun, and especially when it’s such a lively event, they like to gather around.
It turned out that Mr. Huang's family came to the door, holding a goat in their hands. Huang Ming and his father were holding two big white geese.
Only then did Zhang An's family realize that Mr. Huang's family had come to thank them.
After Mr. Huang arrived, he spoke loudly and thanked Zhang An in front of the villagers, young and old.
He also said that his grandson is usually as frizzy and irritable as a monkey, and his work quality is not up to par.
When we went up the mountain yesterday, no one actually asked him to follow, but he made a fuss and wanted to follow.
Unexpectedly, I almost broke myself. If it hadn't been for Zhang An, it might have been dangerous.
So today Mr. Huang and his family came to thank Zhang An with their livestock and firecrackers.
This is already a relatively grand gift in the village, and usually no one will use it easily.
"Second Master, what are you doing?"
Zhang An had never seen this battle since he was a child, and for a while he felt a little unsure about how to deal with it.
"Xiao An, what happened yesterday is your great kindness to our family. The second master and his family thank you for saving our ignorant little boy. The second master knows that you like to raise livestock animals, so he got you one.
The sheep and the two big geese don’t mind if there aren’t many things.”
"Second Master, the relationship between our two families is not suitable for this. Anyone who sees it will help me. You should take the things back quickly. You don't want to do this."
Zhang An saw that this goat was definitely not raised by Mr. Huang's family, because no one in the village raised sheep, so it should have been bought recently. However, Zhang An often saw the big goose, which was raised by Mr. Huang himself. On weekdays, it can be seen
They are fierce and can bite people. Several children in the village have been bitten by them.
Although Zhang An said that he would help anyone he saw, but with so many people there yesterday, Zhang An was the first to help after all. If it were a little late, Huang Ming would be in trouble.
Zhang An deliberately refused, because the gift was too big. If it was a chicken or a duck, he would not be polite. But this is a goat, which is a big expense for ordinary people.
But Mr. Huang's family came into battle, and Zhang An couldn't handle it, so he asked his parents for help.
"Second Master, there's no need to be like this. What Xiao An said is right. Our two families don't want to do this, otherwise it will be exposed, and it will be difficult for everyone. Don't be polite."
But no matter what, Huang Erye's family was determined to give the things to Zhang An's family.
"Second Master, we all understand what you mean, but our family really can't keep these sheep. You see, there is no room for them in our pen."
Zhang An's face was a bit dumbfounded.
Although the pen at home is slightly larger, it contains Dahei and three native pigs. Yesterday, I brought eight piglets back, so it is already full.
Huang Erye didn't care what Zhang An said. He said that if there was no place to raise them, he would kill them for Zhang An and eat them.
No, in the end, the goats and geese were tied up in Zhang An's yard, and Mr. Huang took his family back.
At this time, the people in the village who were watching the excitement in front of Zhang An's house dispersed.
Later I heard that this sheep was bought by Mr. Huang and Uncle Huang from the village next door for 100 yuan early in the morning.
Yes, you have to accept it this time, and you have to accept it even if you don’t accept it.
Now the family has pigs, cows, horses, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, except for a calf.
After finding a place to confine the goats and geese,
"Mom, please give me a hundred yuan. We will accept this sheep, but the money must be sent to the old man. It will not be easy for the second master's family."
Wang Fang heard this and gave Zhang An a hundred yuan.
Arriving at Mr. Huang’s house, Mr. Huang warmly entertained Zhang An.
He did not go to Huang Ming's house. Although Uncle Da Biao was usually very polite to him, he knew full well that Huang Ming's mother had prejudice against his family over the years.
So just come to Mr. Huang’s house, and no matter who gives the money, just return it yourself.
Even if this money was given by Uncle Da Biao, then you should consider it as your own acceptance and this money as your own gift to Mr. Huang.
Zhang An learned his condom skills from Mr. Huang.
"Second Master, please stop working so hard. I'm just here to talk to you."
Seeing Mr. Huang getting up and pouring melon seeds and peanuts, Zhang An pulled Mr. Huang and said a few words.
"Second Master, I accept the big goose. I'll treat it as your wish and uncle Da Biao's wish. But we really don't like this sheep, so I'll treat it as if I bought it. Don't be too busy to refuse.
Just like before when you offered me something, I didn’t refuse it. Do you think you’re right? It’s enough for me to understand your intentions. There’s no need to be too outspoken about this matter.”
After talking for a long time, I persuaded the second master to accept the money.
"Xiao An, although you are young, you have a kind heart. Just like your father back then, you would lend a helping hand to everyone in every matter. If you need help with anything in the future, just ask the second father, otherwise you will just ask me.
The second master has become an outsider."
In the end, the old man and the young man talked it over and didn't dwell on the matter.
After Zhang An left, Mr. Huang sighed in his heart.
The eldest daughter-in-law also said that Zhang An was greedy for her family's money. It would be really embarrassing to tell her.
Even though my family delivered the sheep to their doorstep, they didn't want it and even gave me the money. Sometimes people are different.
People have an open heart and don't care about anything. No wonder their lives are getting better and better.
In the afternoon, the village elder came to Zhang An's house.
I came here to tell Zhang An's family not to cook at night, but to eat at their house. I also invited Wang Fang to go over in advance to help my old aunt cook.
Zhang An and his son were not polite. They both came to ask Wang Fang to help cook. They must have invited a lot of people.
Before leaving, Zhang An also caught a fish for his uncle to take away.
"Uncle, bring a fish back. It's been a long time since I've had the fish in sour soup made by my aunt. I'll ask her to make a pot of it to satisfy my cravings tonight."
Zhang Jianwen was not polite when he heard Zhang An's words.
Although the fish in the river are very delicious now, everyone is surprised that they don’t know why, but this fish tastes much better than before.
But it doesn’t seem to be as good as the incense that Zhang An’s family keeps in the yard.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, Zhang Jianguo and Zhang An, father and son, planned to go to their uncle's house a little earlier.
Because they have already come to invite me in the afternoon, I am embarrassed to ask them to come and invite me again.
There are quite a few people in the yard, all of them are village elders who are fair and respected by everyone in the village. Others are representatives of various village groups in the village.
There were two tables, one large and one small, set up in the yard. Not long after Zhang An arrived, a lot of dishes had been prepared in the kitchen.
My mother, my old aunt, and several maids from the village were busy in the kitchen.
At this time, the dishes were ready and ready to be brought to the table. Soon the dishes were finished.
There are a lot of dishes on the table, including bacon smoked by my uncle, chickens raised at home, rabbits and pheasants caught by a few old people in the village, wild vegetables from the mountains, and large grass carp brought by Zhang Ant.
Everyone scraped together a lot of things and put together a large table of dishes.
"Zhang An, your grass carp is so big. I cut up every fish and cooked it, and cooked two full pots."
"That's good. It's enough for everyone to eat. I'm worried that it's too small and not enough for everyone."
