When Jia Lei went out, he took a flock of chickens, but when he came back, he brought a bunch of banknotes, and these chickens were all sold for a high price of nearly 900,000 rubles!

"What does this smell like?" Wu Niu asked, sniffling, and now they were less than a mile from the village.

"It's fragrant, it's so fragrant, why does it smell like meat?" asked Su Renfeng.

"Your nose is so good, is it a dog's nose? You can smell it a mile away from the village!" Jia Lei said in surprise.

"I don't have rhinitis, how can I not smell such a big smell of braised meat. Su Renfeng sniffled as he spoke.

Winter is different from summer, there are not many flowers and plants exude various flavors, so the strong smell of braised meat in the air is particularly obvious, it is really fragrant......

"This taste is good, authentic! The lo-mei will be very fragrant later!" Jia Lei said after taking a deep breath.

The truck quickly drove to the village, but the strange thing is that usually there are always two people gossiping on the streets of the village, but today there is no one on the street, and Su Renfeng doesn't know where the people from Gangyao Village have gone.

"Where have all the people in your village gone? Su Renfeng asked.

"You don't have to worry about this, you just follow the fragrance!" Jia Lei said without worrying at all, Su Renfeng had no choice but to pull people into the village.

"Go to the brigade headquarters!" Jia Qijia kindly reminded his cheap nephew, and Su Renfeng immediately drove the car to the village committee.

As soon as the car stopped at the village committee, Su Renfeng was stunned, and the courtyard of the village committee was actually full of people, and when he saw that almost all the men, women, and children in the village committee were here, the doors of the empty houses of the village committee were all opened, and more than 20 tables were placed inside and outside the house! In the courtyard, several large earthen stoves were built, and on these large earthen stoves were placed large iron pots more than one meter wide.

Long pieces of wood are burning under these big iron pots, and the pots are bubbling with "goo, goo, and the crimson brine" with star anise, fennel, peppercorns, cinnamon, etc., and a pot full of chicken heads, feet, and necks are bubbling inside.

"What are you doing in your village, is there anyone who wants to do a happy event?" asked Su Renfeng.

"No one has a happy event! I don't see what time it is. After Jia Lei finished speaking, he climbed down from the car, and as soon as he landed, everyone in the village looked at him.

"Are you back?" the third master asked, standing up.

"Uh-huh! Jia Lei nodded.

"Is it going well?" asked Village Chief Yang hurriedly.

"Everything goes well!" replied Jia Lei.

"Wu Niu, how are you going out this time?" a villager asked Wu Niu for confirmation.

"We went particularly well this time, everything was sold!" Wu Niu said with a grin.

"Boom!" suddenly the crowd became excited. Several people came up to ask about their relatives this time to go to the Soviet Union, and Jia Lei was also called over by the third grandfather.

"Baby, you didn't pay this time, did you?" asked the third master.

"What do you keep talking about? When have I ever lost money in business?" Jia Lei said.

"It's good if you don't lose! It's good if you don't lose money! The chicken king contest you got cost tens of thousands of yuan, and the money can buy thousands of chickens. Am I not worried about you?" said the third master.

"Lao Maozi's money is worth a lot, and there is a shortage of meat over there! We can't afford to lose money! And we still make a lot of money, not to mention other things, just what we cook in this pot is what we earn." Jia Lei looked at a few cauldrons proudly and said, the aroma of the food wafted into his nose, and his saliva was about to flow down.

"Yes, it's a lot of money! The Soviets won't enjoy it, they don't eat such delicious things, they give it to us cheaply. Wu Niu's daughter-in-law said with a smile.

"What's going on, do you want to hold a flowing water seat?" Su Renfeng leaned over and asked.

"Yes! The whole village has been busy for several days, and it is time to make up for it! Anyway, foreigners don't eat chicken feet, chicken heads, chicken necks, chicken offal, or anything else, so I asked everyone to chop off all these things when they clean up the chickens and remove their feathers, so that not only do our chickens look good, but the rest of the things will not be thrown away by foreigners in vain. Jia Lei sat on a chair and said, Su Renfeng listened while stretching his neck and what was in a large number of pots.

"Braised chicken feet, chicken head, chicken neck, stir-fried chicken gizzards, boiled chicken liver, chicken intestines, ......" Su Renfeng looked at the dishes and said.

"Is Third Mrs. Jia having a banquet?" asked the chef in charge.

"Open the table! Open the table! Why don't you open the banquet when everyone is back, start the pot, serve the food!" the third master shouted loudly with confidence, and the villagers who helped the cook and ran the hall immediately responded in unison.

Men, women, and children were looking for places to sit together in groups of three or five, and with that large population, a family could only occupy two tables.

"It's over! it's over!" shouted many of the children, who were probably the happiest.

"It's oil, it's oil, let's go!" shouted the man who ran the hall, only to see him put a large rectangular tray one meter long on his shoulder, and three layers of plates were placed on top of each other.

In the 90s, many places still used the old rules, like this kind of flowing water table chef and the running hall of the square plate is not everyone can do it, the chef stir-fry a pot to produce dozens of plates, no eyesight and more than ten years of experience to make the dish taste good or not, in case you don't master the portion!

The dishes are all young and strong men between the ages of 18 and 35, because a plate of dishes has to weigh forty or fifty pounds, and few women can move it, and only two layers of plates can be put in the plate of the end of the square plate.

"Chicken feet! A lot of chicken feet! I haven't eaten chicken feet with sauce for a long time......" Jia Lei said with drooling as he looked at the braised chicken feet on the table.

In 1990, the chickens sold in the vegetable market were sold whole, and there were no separate chicken feet, chicken wings, and chicken necks.

"It's delicious! it's delicious!" Jia Lei started to gnaw on the chicken paws with his hands, and he didn't pay attention to the plate of fish that had just been served, he had already put four or five chicken feet and bones in his hand.

"It's still fragrant chicken, the tendons of this chicken paw are particularly strong, and the spicy chicken gizzard is also delicious! By the way, there is also a chicken neck......" Jia Lei stretched his chopsticks to the last chicken neck while talking to the third master, but he didn't expect that as soon as he added up the chicken neck, he took a bite and there was a wow!

"Wow! my chicken neck! My chicken neck is gone...... Ahh......h I want to eat chicken neck......" The third master's granddaughter, Jia Lei's little cousin Qi Qi, who was only 5 years old, stretched out her hand and cried, she moved one step slower than Jia Lei, and did not grab this last piece of chicken neck.

"I ......" Jia Lei hurriedly put down the chicken neck.

"I don't know if she wants to eat, what should I do now?" Jia Lei said in fright.

"It's okay, you eat yours, don't get used to her!" Qiqi's mother said and took a piece of chicken liver and stuffed it into Qiqi's mouth.

"Eat chicken liver! Eat more chicken liver is good for your eyes!" said Qiqi's mother, who chewed the chicken liver with her teeth and swallowed it, opened her mouth and continued to cry.

"Don't cry, don't cry, if you don't cry I'll give you this. Jia Lei hurriedly took out a matryoshka doll from his bag and gave it to her, Qi Qi stopped crying, and at this time someone had already brought another plate of sauce chicken neck.

"Xiaoyuan, I'll help you count, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8......" Many children ran to the side after eating and gathered together to kick the shuttlecock, because of the killing of many chickens, almost everyone in the village has a freshly tied chicken feather shuttlecock.

In 1990, there were almost no toys for the children, and jumping rubber bands, kicking shuttlecocks, playing sandbags, and hiding cats were all the games for everyone.

"Oh! This chicken feather shuttlecock is so good-looking, I want one too!" Jia Lei looked at the colorful chicken feather shuttlecock and said, you must know that the chicken feather shuttlecock in later generations is dyed chicken feathers, and the chicken feather shuttlecock in the future will be used to breed chicken feathers, and there is no comparison with the current long and hard chicken feather shuttlecock.

Now the chicken feather shuttlecock is only made of the longest and most beautiful hairs on the rooster's tail plus other chicken feathers, and a chicken can only tie one shuttlecock.

"If you want, then I'll make one for you right away!" Jia Lao Liu stood up and said, he asked a few little girls for chicken feathers in their hands, walked to the big stove and took something out of their pockets.

"I just made a chicken feather shuttlecock for your cousin Qiqi, and there are two copper coins left in my pocket!" Jia Lao Liu said as he aligned the tail of the chicken feathers and put them on the fire and burned them, and then took advantage of the softening of the lower part of the chicken feathers to pass through the copper coin hole, and then pressed the stone!

Two minutes later, after the gelatin below solidified and hardened, Jia Lei got a beautiful chicken feather shuttlecock!

"Are everyone's feathers and shuttlecocks made of big money?" Jia Lei swallowed and asked with a shaky voice.

"It's all right! This thing is easy to make shuttlecocks, and everyone has it. Jia Lao Liu said.

In 1990, most of the rural people still lived in the old houses of these decades ago, and basically any family could find a few copper coins! If you don't have one, you can go to a neighbor's house and ask for two.

"Stinky boy, where are you running, see I won't kill you today?" a woman in her 30s ran after an 8-year-old boy with a freshly tied feather duster.

"Daqing daughter-in-law, what's the trouble with your dog?" asked a villager with a rice bowl.

"This kid took advantage of our inattention to drop the glass at home, a total of four cups have been dropped by him two of them, so what will the guests do in our house later!" Daqing's daughter-in-law said angrily.

In 1990, glasses were a rarity! In rural areas, every household usually did not dare to use them, and only took them out during the New Year's holidays or when guests came.

"Mom, don't beat me, I won't dare again!" shouted the dog as he ran.

"My daughter-in-law beat my grandson lightly, and last time you discounted all the feather dusters at home!" shouted an old lady with her little feet.

"Don't be afraid, this time I killed chickens for Jia Lei, not only earned more than 100 yuan in wages, but also saved a bunch of chicken feathers, enough for me to tie ten more chicken feather dusters......" Daqing's daughter-in-law ran over like a wind, and Jia Lei could only look at her back in a daze.

"It seems that everyone is not wasting it at all! Not even a single chicken feather is spared......" Jia Lei said with a sigh.
