Chapter 36~4 Killing the sheep
"I'm looking for Li Xia for this matter, this ...... Is it appropriate?" Old Man Xia asked Xia Zhi hesitantly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Who else can you find if you don't look for him?" Xia Zhi smiled helplessly. To say that they should find Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo, but with the ability of Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo, they can't do this at all.
In addition, Xia Zhi can also find Tian Kuo, Tian Qi, and even Tian Laibao, but after all, this is the case, compare these people with Li Xia, or Li Xia is closer to them, and can be entrusted with such a thing.
Old Man Xia thought about it and felt that Li Xia was the only candidate.
"It's just, it's just too troublesome for Li Xia. "It's not a glorious thing, Li Xia is a scholar, and he is still a teenager, and Old Man Xia is very unhappy in his heart.
"He's not afraid of our trouble. Let's kill the pig, give him a few more catties of meat. Xia Zhi said with a smile, she said very easily.
Old Man Xia also smiled, of course he knew that Xia Zhi was joking. A few catties of pork and such a heavy favor can't be compared together at all.
Such a heavy favor, what can you take in the future? What is Li Xiatu!
Old Man Xia glanced at Xia Zhi, then sighed softly, and didn't say anything against it.
Xia Zhi knew that Old Man Xia had agreed. he
Looking for Li Xia, she thought about it at night. In the letter, she told Li Xia that she had heard some rumors that were unfavorable to May. These rumors have affected the life of the Xia family, and she hopes that Li Xia will help her keep an eye on it.
Xia Zhi only asked Li Xia to help her pay attention, and did not give further instructions.
Li Xia's temperament is very clear to him.
"If those words really came from Fucheng, Li Xia would definitely be able to find out and help pinch the source. Xia Zhi told Old Man Xia.
Li Xia has always been like this for her, and it can be said that she has to draw inferences from one case and give ten to her.
"I asked my mother yesterday, she shouldn't have made it up herself, it was the daughter-in-law of the Xia Kan Lao Du family who chewed her tongue with her. The daughter-in-law of the old Du family probably heard it from the town. I am not afraid to spread it to the town, there is Juxian in the town, and Juxian's shopkeeper Li is particularly capable of doing things. Li Xia will instruct Boss Li and let Boss Li help find a way. ā
Xia Zhi's idea is to let Li Xia help pinch the source of Fucheng, and then there is Shopkeeper Li to pinch the town, and the next thing will be much simpler.
The Xia family and Old Man Xia still have some influence in Daxingzhuang and the surrounding Shili Eight Villages, and Xia Zhi also plans to use all the people who can use it.
For example, Sun Si'er, for example, Mrs. Wu, and Tian Fugui.
After this incident, Xia Zhi really didn't delay at all, and he came up with a plan for dealing with it while making dumplings at night.
Xia Zhi's way of doing things is very much in line with Old Man Xia's appetite. And her concern for this matter made Old Man Xia even more moved.
Summer Solstice is doing the things of his cousins as his own.
"Good, good. Old Man Xia said two good words in a row. "Sixteen, you've thought of everything I didn't expect. He was also worried about this in his heart. People of his age and experience know best how terrible gossip is, especially in this regard.
That can be said to be a murder without blood. Once some people get involved, they may have to live in the shadow of this kind of gossip for the rest of their lives.
In the face of such gossip, Old Man Xia was very anxious, but he couldn't do anything about it. He also thought of a countermeasure, which was to marry May and July as soon as possible, and he also planned to marry May and July a little farther. He hoped that in this way, he could try to eliminate the harm of this rumor to May and July and to the Xia family.
He hopes that in the long run, May and July will have their own children, live a good life, and those gossips will slowly disappear.
A lot of people take the same approach when faced with this situation.
But the summer solstice is significantly more proactive and should be effective.
The summer solstice is calm, and he is more courageous than himself.
Old Man Xia was very emotional in his heart. He handed the letter back to Xia Zhi, and at the same time, he had already thought in his heart that what Xia Zhi had done, he wanted to let Second Uncle Xia know.
On the one hand, he has to let Second Uncle Xia remember the good of Xia Solstice, and on the other hand, he also hopes that Second Uncle Xia can learn from each other, and help each other in the future.
Old Man Xia thought so, so he did it. He immediately called Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia to the upper room, and at the same time, he also called Xia Zhu. He told all three of them about the summer solstice's plans.
"It's a shadowless thing...... "Aunt Xia seems to feel that she should defend a few May.
Second Uncle Xia obviously understood the seriousness of this matter better than Second Aunt Xia, and he glared at Second Aunt Xia and told Second Aunt Xia to shut up. "Everyone has passed it on like this, if no one cares, and the fake ones are faxed to you, what can you do?!"
After counting the second aunt Xia, the second uncle Xia nodded at Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, the second uncle and the second aunt's family will be grateful to you for this matter for the rest of their lives." Sixteen, you are interesting enough to the second uncle and the second aunt's family. In the future, the second uncle and aunt will not be able to stand you. ā
After listening to Second Uncle Xia's confession, Old Man Xia was more satisfied. "It is good that you know in your hearts. Think about what you've done, and look at sixteen, you're not ashamed. ā
"Master, the past is over. Let's see how my second uncle and aunt perform in the future. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
"Yes, don't just say nice things, the main thing is to see what you do in the future!" Old Man Xia nodded immediately.
Second Uncle Xia swore again, saying that he would definitely no longer make mistakes in the future, and he would definitely work honestly and dutifully, and then said that Xia Zhi had something to send, but they didn't say anything, and they would do whatever Xia Zhi said.
"You remember that. Old Man Xia pointed at Second Uncle Xia.
"I'm sure I'll never forget it in my life. Second Uncle Xia laughed with him.
Old Man Xia was satisfied, and then he called Uncle Xia Sanshu to come and let Uncle Xia San set up a car, and immediately sent the letter to the town without Xia Zhi. The communication between Li Xia and Xia Zhi is still passed back and forth by Shopkeeper Li. It's quicker and easier than finding anyone to write a letter.
Uncle Xia San went to deliver the letter in person, he drove there alone, but when he came back, he was not alone.
Money is coming.
Qian Yuelai had just come back from the west, and he not only sold back cattle and sheep, but also helped Xia Zhi send another batch of raw materials back from outside the border. He was responsible for delivering these raw materials to the town, and then the people on the side of Shopkeeper Li helped escort them to Fucheng and deliver them to the workshop that made the lip.
Qian Yuelai knew that the summer solstice had returned to Daxingzhuang, and originally planned to come to Daxingzhuang to watch the summer solstice after the delivery. Because I met Uncle Xia San, I came back with Uncle Xia San.
Qian Yuelai didn't come alone, and Mr. Qian also came. The grandparents also brought a lot of things, including local products brought back from the west and outside the border, as well as mountain delicacies and wild things picked by themselves. Qian Yuelai also specially picked one of the fattest ~ beautiful sheep to give to the summer solstice.
The arrival of Old Man Qian and Qian Yuelai made Old Man Xia overjoyed, so he asked Old Mrs. Xia to hurry up and arrange the meal.
"Why are you still seeing me like this? I have been recognized as a godfather for a long time, this is not a year, I will come when I come, why do you still bring these many things......" Old Man Xia complained that Old Man Qian and Qian Yue were too polite to him.
"Those who are filial to the godfather, and those who are given to the sixteen sisters, are not worth a few dollars. Qian Yuelai said with a smile.
"That's how it should have been. Old Man Qian said, and asked Old Man Xia not to be polite to him. "Sixteen takes care of him, and without Sixteen takes care of him, he can make so much money as a kid. He was young, and now the people who went to the west and outside the border recognized him as the leader, and that was still sixteen. ā
The reason why Mr. Qian followed Qian Yuelai to Daxingzhuang was mainly to thank Xia Zhi.
Old Man Xia understood in his heart, and he still said a few polite words before accepting everything.
"Master, or kill the sheep, just a while our big guy will eat in a pot. "Summer Solstice proposed.
Everybody said yes. The little black fish happily ran out to see the sheep killed. Xia Zhi stayed in the upper room to talk to Old Man Qian and Qian Yue. Qian Yue said a lot about things outside the border, as well as what happened on the way back from this shipment, which has the meaning of reporting to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi listened carefully, and asked Qian Yuelai a lot of questions, and then verbally set orders with Qian Yuelai for the next year. Qian Yuelai has now been counted as her procurement, specializing in buying dairy products that have been preliminarily processed from outside the border and returning them for use by the workshop that dots the lip.
Nowadays, many of the products in Dianjiang contain dairy ingredients, which are transported back from outside the border and then processed through the secret recipe of the summer solstice.
Qian Yuelai is doing things safely, and he has such a relationship with the Xia family, so Xia Zhi is very relieved to hand over this matter to Qian Yue. And Qian Yue has worked hard for many months, and he has also earned a lot of money from it.
Old man Qian kept saying that Xia Solstice took care of Qian Yuelai, and Xia Solstice said that Qian Yuelai helped her a lot.
"Aren't outsiders, we don't help each other, can we help others?!" Old Man Xia said with a smile.
Second Uncle Xia heard something meaning next to him, especially when he heard how much money Qian Yuelai had earned, his eyes lit up.
Old Man Qian is very grateful for the summer solstice, and at the same time he is also very satisfied with his grandson.
āā¦ā¦ I took him twice, and the rest of the time he went by himself. It's not me who said that my grandson has eaten hard for months. I told his mom and dad about it. The family doesn't have much money, but it's not short of money. The money he earned in the first year of the month, he said that everything would be handed over to the family, so I would keep it. From next year, all the money he earns will belong to him. ā
The population of the Qian family is relatively simple, and the sons of Mr. Qian have already split up, and now Mr. Qian is living with Qian Yuelai's father. Qian Yuelai also has an elder brother who has already married, and a younger sister is still young, so she doesn't need Qian Yuelai to help.
The old man of the Qian family said that he planned to buy a house for Qian Yuelai in Linshui Town: "He always comes here, and he has to come back when he drives a collection girl back, there is a place to stay, and he is ...... in the back."
When he said this, Second Uncle Xia quietly slipped out. But he soon returned. Returning to the upper house again, Second Uncle Xia's attitude changed. He was a third uncle, and he was very kind when he called Qian Yue, and he shouted for a month.
Although there had been unpleasantness before, Old Man Qian and Qian Yuelai treated Second Uncle Xia very politely as if nothing had happened.
"This kid is promising, I can see it at a glance......" Second Uncle Xia's smiling eyes almost narrowed into a slit.
At this time, the little black fish ran into the house to pull the summer solstice. The sheep has been killed, and the meat is being washed, peeled, and unloaded, and the little black fish asked Xia Zhi to go to see the excitement together, and Mrs. Xia also asked Xia Zhi to go out to see how this sheep was arranged. Even if they could eat it again, they wouldn't be able to eat the whole sheep in one meal.
Xia Zhi greeted Old Man Xia and Old Man Qian with a smile, and then followed the little black fish to the courtyard.
The fat sheep had indeed been washed and skinned, and Lao Hei was holding it to stand there, listening to Mrs. Xia's instructions to separate the sheep.
Lao Hei can kill sheep, and he used to invite the Xia family to kill sheep. In addition, he can also nitrate the skin, the Xia family killed the sheep and skinned the sheepskin, and let him help to give the nitrate.
"Sixteen, hurry up. When Mrs. Xia saw Xia Zhi coming out, she hurriedly called her to discuss with her how to distribute the sheep.
"The two legs will be sliced for a while, and the other two legs will be marinated and we will roast and eat......"
As soon as Xia Solstice said this, the little black fish jumped and cheered. "The roast leg of lamb is delicious!"
"Uncle, have you eaten it?" asked Xiao Shu'er enviously beside him.
"Of course I did. The little black fish replied proudly with a small chest, and he told Xiao Shu'er that when he was in Fucheng, Xia Zhi took him to eat kebabs, so he specially asked people to eat the whole leg of lamb. "It was exceptionally tasty. ā
Xiao Shu'er is even more envious.
"I also roast a leg of lamb. The old black said sullenly.
"Oh, that's a good feeling. Uncle Hei, then I'll marinate the leg of mutton, and you can help us roast it. "Xia Solstice originally planned to bake it by himself, but after listening to Lao Hei's words, he said that he would let Lao Hei roast it.
Lao Hei didn't speak, just nodded, and then began to cut the leg of mutton. "This leg of lamb will be frozen for a while, so that the meat can be sliced down. While working, Lao Hei also instructed.
The four legs of mutton have landed, the remaining mutton and mutton chops are temporarily frozen, the mutton can also be roasted, the mutton can be kept to make dumplings, and the mutton and mutton chops can be stewed with radish, which is another delicacy in winter.
As for the lamb liver and sheep heart, it will be fried for a while, and the haggis fried by Mrs. Xia is particularly delicious. Sheep blood is also a good thing, and it can be made into blood tofu.
The sheep's head is a thank you gift to Lao Hei, and the summer solstice also gave Lao Hei two sheep's hooves. The sheepskin still has to rely on the old black to give nitrate. The remaining two sheep's hooves had to be cleaned up by Mrs. Xia, and the sheep's trotters were a good dish.
Qian Yuelai didn't know when he would sneak out, so he gathered around Xia Zhi, as if he was a little unwilling.
