Chapter 153: ‖ Meat (1)

Anyway, Datou and Erxi hurriedly left the temporary residence and went straight to the third master's house.

Knocking on the door without waiting for the third master to speak, Er Xi said: "Third master, that kid from Zhou Zhou Hu may live in Nanluoguxiang, but I don't know the specific address yet, you see?" ”

After Erxi finished speaking, the big head also stepped forward and said: "Third master, I am to blame for this, I accidentally lost someone today, you punish me!" ”

"Big head, you don't have to blame yourself, it's no wonder you're here, that kid himself is a slippery head, and it's understandable that you lost it!" The third master stood up and looked at the big head, not only did not blame, but comforted him.

After persuading the big head, the third master walked back and forth in the house a few times, and said: "However, since you are sure that the kid is in Nanluoguxiang, it will be easy to do, and I will find someone to inquire around and see where that kid lives?" What's going on at home? I'll talk about it when I inquire clearly! ”

Erxi said in agreement: "Hmm! Third master, you are right! But who to send? ”

The third master said calmly: "This matter is not in a hurry, I'll report it, and see what the boss says, do you want to go with me?" ”

The big head and Erxi shivered at the same time, and said, "No, no, no, third master!" Go ahead, we're not going! ”

The third master saw that the two of them showed frightened expressions, smiled in his mouth, and did not force the two of them, and said, "Since you don't want to go, then wait for me here, I'll be back in a while!" ”

"Okay, Third Master!"

After the third master went out, the two of them were relieved, and they both showed happy expressions.

……

While the three of them were talking, Zheng Zhendong looked around in the deserted courtyard.

The small courtyard is not big, but it is only a regulation of entry, and it has long been dilapidated because it has not been inhabited for a long time.

There were broken bricks and weeds everywhere, and even the windows and doors were gone.

When Zheng Zhendong walked into the house and raised his head to look up, he could see the sunlight shining in through the hole in the roof.

Zheng Zhendong walked back and forth in the room, and after looking around, he found that the house was already empty at this time.

There was nothing in the room, except for the Westinghouse bedroom, which had a clay kang, but even the clay kang had collapsed in half.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but shake his head, and instantly lost interest in continuing to explore, just hoping that it would get dark soon, so that he could leave this broken place as soon as possible.

But the more anxious he was, the slower time passed, and just when Zheng Zhendong was waiting impatiently in the house, there was a sudden sound of talking outside.

At first, Zheng Zhendong thought that the person who was following him just now had come over and brought a helper, and he was just about to go out and fight with them.

But after listening carefully to two sentences, I realized that I was wrong, it turned out that someone from the street office came to check the situation of the house.

And it was Zheng Zhendong's acquaintance who came, Zhou Chenggang and Wang Wanchun, who had just met a few days ago.

Zheng Zhendong just wanted to go out to say hello to the two, when he heard Zhou Chenggang shout.

"Who is in there? Come out of here, don't be sneaky! ”

"Brother Zhou, Brother Wang, it's me, Zheng Zhendong, Dongzi! Haven't we seen it before? Zheng Zhendong walked out and said to the two.

Seeing that it was Zheng Zhendong, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Zhou Chenggang even said: "It's you kid, why are you here?" ”

Zheng Zhendong turned his mind and said: "Brother Zhou, Brother Wang, that's the case, my family has been a bit crowded recently, and it's not very convenient to live!" ”

"So I wanted to find a place to house my family nearby, but it didn't happen that I inquired, and I heard from the neighbors that there was an empty yard here, so I came over to have a look!"

Hearing Zheng Zhendong say this, the two nodded knowingly, the two of them understood his thoughts, they couldn't live at home, and it was not impossible to find a place to live.

However, after Zhou Chenggang heard this, he shook his head and said to Zheng Zhendong: "Dongzi, you came to this place, it is considered a trip for nothing, this place is not something you can live in if you want to, whoever lives here does not live here, our street office has the final say in this matter!" ”

"It's impossible if you want to live in private, you have to get the consent of our street, and besides, this shabby place is so bad, how can your family live?"

Zheng Zhendong nodded with a smile, took a few steps forward and said: "Brother Zhou, you are right, I also see that this place is quite broken, and I am disappointed in my heart, so I heard that you are coming, and when I was about to go out to greet you, you shouted, you see this is a trouble!" ”

"By the way, I heard you say that this place belongs to your street, I wonder why the two of you are here this time...?"

After Zheng Zhendong asked, Zhou Chenggang explained: "Isn't this the Red Star Rolling Mill going to expand its recruitment, their factory can't live there, and the factory leaders found our street office to help!" ”

"Just this matter, our street office must not ignore it, after all, the district and the city attach great importance to the situation of the rolling mill!"

As soon as Director Wang Huanzhang sent off the leaders of the rolling mill, he arranged for the two of us to count how many vacant houses there are in the jurisdiction! ”

"Let's see if we can accommodate those who have settled in our jurisdiction, so our brothers and sisters came out to investigate!"

Zheng Zhendong nodded after hearing this, and asked suspiciously: "Hongxing Rolling Mill wants to expand its recruitment?" So how many people will be recruited this time? Did you know? ”

Zhou Chenggang shook his head and said, "We don't know how many people there are, but it is said that there are a lot of people, otherwise their factory would not be unable to live!" ”

"Okay, Dongzi, don't think about this place, hurry back and find a way somewhere else!"

Zheng Zhendong looked at the sky and found that the sun had set in the west, so he smiled at the two and said, "Brother Zhou, Brother Wang, then I'll go back first, you guys are busy, I'm leaving, goodbye!" ”

"Hmmm! Slow down on the road! ”

"Dongzi, goodbye!"

……

After Zheng Zhendong got out of the courtyard, he looked around outside, and only after finding that there was no one did he continue to walk along the alley.

However, he did not go home directly, but wandered around the alley.

It wasn't until it was all dark that I went home.

Zheng Zhendong entered the house, took out something from his coat, and said, "Mom, I'm back!" Here, these are four pig's trotters, you can quickly stew it for my sister-in-law! ”

Zheng's mother watched Zheng Zhendong take out the pig's trotters from his coat, and couldn't help but ask puzzledly: "Third child, why don't you just come in with the pig's trotters?" Instead, you have to hide it in your coat, so you don't have to worry about getting your coat dirty? ”

Seeing that Zheng's mother was puzzled, Zheng Zhendong said, "Mom, do you think I want to?" It's not that I'm afraid that people will see it, and I didn't buy this thing in a state-run butcher shop, so I can't carry some people on my back! ”

"But don't worry, the coat can't be dirty, I can pay attention, and besides, look at how clean these pigs' trotters are, it's all right!"

Afraid that Zheng's mother would not believe it, Zheng Zhendong lifted the pig's trotters again and let her take a look.

After Zheng's mother saw it, she nodded with satisfaction, and then took the pig's trotters and said: "Okay, third, even if you are reasonable, I will hurry up and stew it for your sister-in-law, let her eat it and milk it quickly, so as to save our family from starving in the new year!" My eldest grandson is really suffering, and I am going to die of distress when I look at this mother! ”

After Zheng Zhendong heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Mom, what are you talking about, my sister-in-law doesn't want to starve the child, it's not impossible!" ”

"Didn't the doctor say it, my sister-in-law gave birth ahead of schedule, and the milk is not enough, maybe it will be fine in a few days!"

Mother Zheng sighed after hearing this, and said, "I hope so, otherwise I will die of a headache!" ”

Zheng Zhendong looked at Zheng's mother, who was busy, took off his coat and hung it on the wall, and then stepped forward to help her.

Zheng Zhendong put the pig's trotters on the vegetable pier and chopped them into small pieces with an axe.

When the chopping is done, put it in a basin, and then pour the blister blood foam.

When you see that you are almost done, you take it out and clean it again, and then put it in the steel pot and prepare to stew.

Since it is a stewed soup, I added a lot of water to it, cut the ginger slices and put them in the pot, and then it simmered.

After about 20 minutes, the water in the pot was boiling, and Zheng's mother opened the lid of the pot and stirred it, and the fragrance was instantly fragrant.

……

"It's so fragrant, who's stewed meat? Why is it so fragrant? It's like stewed pig's trotters! Do you smell it? Boss! ”

Yang Ruihua, the third mother, who was eating at this time, suddenly smelled a fragrance and hurriedly said.

Yan Bugui took a sharp breath of fragrance, looked at the three sons of Liuha Lazi, and said: "It's the taste of stewed pig's trotters, this smell is indeed fragrant, Jiecheng, liberation, Jiekuang, you don't hurry up and take a few mouthfuls of fragrance, and then eat it with your nest, you won't be able to smell this fragrance for a while!" ”

The third mother, Yang Ruihua, didn't stop Yan Bugui when she heard this, obviously she was already used to it, but asked suspiciously: "Boss, Yan, whose stew did you say?" It's not the Chinese New Year yet, just eat like this, but the days are over? ”

"Huh?"

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment when asked, then thought about it and said, "It is estimated that it is the old Zheng family, didn't the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family just give birth to a child, this pig's trotters should be stewed for her!" ”

"Yes, yes, Boss Yan, you are right, it should be like this!"

Yang Ruihua, the third mother, suddenly realized after hearing this, and hurriedly agreed, and then continued.

"I said before that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family must have something to do when she goes to the hospital to give birth, isn't this fulfillment!"

Seeing her say this, Yan Bugui immediately warned: "Okay, people just don't have enough milk, this is not a big deal, you go out and talk less nonsense, otherwise let the Zheng family hear it, and we won't be able to talk to people!" ”

"Uh-huh! You can rest assured Yan! I'll just talk to you at home, and I won't talk nonsense when I go out, and I'm afraid of causing trouble to our family! The three mothers, Yang Ruihua, immediately assured.

After the two finished speaking, they continued to eat, and while eating, the third mother Yang Ruihua said again: "By the way, Boss Yan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family has given birth, should we go and have a look?" And what do you bring with you if you go? ”

Yan Bugui put down his chopsticks, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, "When you gave birth to the third and fourth children before, do you remember what the Zheng family took?" ”

"Remember, I have an account book, I'll get it for you!"

The third mother, Yang Ruihua, didn't even eat, stood up and walked towards the bedroom, and came out with a notebook after a while.

opened the notebook, rummaged through it, and said, "Boss Yan, look, this is my gift to the Zheng family, and this, this is Shengjiedi!" ”

Yan Bugui took the account book and looked at it, nodded and said, "Hmm! Yes, I remember that it was also the case, when our family gave birth to the third child, the sister-in-law of the Zheng family took 20 eggs, and when she gave birth to Xie Di, she gave 1 catty of brown sugar and 2 catties of white flour. ”

The third mother, Yang Ruihua, echoed with melancholy: "Yes, yes, there are indeed a lot, I am worried about how to return the gift!" ”

"You said that if you give less, you will meet with people, but it will be difficult to speak, and you will know the situation of our family if you give more! Ay! ”

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and said, "Then you go out and ask the other people in the courtyard how to follow the courtesy, if not, we will follow the crowd!" ”

After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and continued: "By the way, ask again, will the Zheng family do a full moon wine this time?" If we do, we can still go and have a hard meal, just to satisfy our cravings! ”

……

At this time, not only the Yan family smelled the Zheng family's stewed pig's trotters, but other residents also smelled the fragrance.

The big children in the family are okay, after all, they are sensible, and the small children are directly splashing and rolling around, crying and shouting to eat meat.

Sensible adults are just a few reprimands for noisy children.

And those who are good at pink eye are scolding at home at this time.

At this time, Aunt Wang's little grandson, who lived across the door from Zheng's house, was already crying out of breath at this time, crying and shouting.

"I want to eat meat, woo! I want to eat meat, woooooooo I don't care, I just want to eat meat! Woo woo woo ......! ”

"You eat a fart, you eat, I think you owe a beating, cry cry, I see you cry again? If you cry again, I'll beat you to death!" Aunt Wang's eldest son, Wang Cunren, scolded angrily at her crying son.

Aunt Wang stood up suddenly, pulled up her grandson who was rolling on the ground, and said, "Okay boss, what does Xiaobao know, how old is he?" Isn't it normal to smell the fragrance and want meat to eat, you don't scare him, if you freak me out, I don't depend on you! ”

Seeing that Aunt Wang was stopping, Wang Cunren shouted dissatisfiedly: "Mom...!" You just protect him, sooner or later you will become a loser, and there will be a day when you regret it! ”

Aunt Wang patted the soil on her grandson and said, "I'm willing, you don't care, this is my own grandson, I don't protect it, who will?" ”

"You said too, what kind of meat is this Zheng family's good stew? Look at my son's greed! Come, good son and mother hug! Sun Xiulian, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family, heard the movement and hurriedly came out of the bedroom.

Hearing the sour taste in her daughter-in-law's words, Aunt Wang said, "What does other people's stew have to do with you?" Would you like to eat? If you want to eat it, buy it! Sensei envy people here! ”

Sun Xiulian took the child from Aunt Wang's hand, coaxed and said: "I also want to buy it, it's not that I can't buy it, not to mention anything else, even the meat of our family for the New Year this year has not yet been settled!" ”

"That's right, daddy! This year's Chinese New Year, do your rolling mills send meat? Seeing that the New Year is coming, you can't even put some meat on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, that dumpling? ”

Wang Cunren snorted back in his chair and roared loudly: "Damn it, where do I know where to go?" I'm not a factory leader, so I don't count! ”

Seeing Wang Cunren yelling at himself, Sun Xiulian was not angry, and then replied: "What are you yelling at me?" You have the ability to get the meat back, what are you angry with me and the child? ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Aunt Wang hurriedly stopped: "Noise, noise, noise!" What's there to be noisy about? Or I'll open the door and you two go out and argue!" ”

As soon as the two saw Aunt Wang say this, they stopped arguing.

Aunt Wang saw that the two of them were shut up, so she said, "What should I say?" After only a few days of eating, I began to be dissatisfied! ”

"When the party didn't come before, we couldn't even eat mixed noodles, and we were hungry all day long, so didn't we survive?"

"What? Now it's just eating less meat, you can't stand it now? ”

"I see that you are really full, and if you are hungry for a few days, you will be honest!"

Wang Cunren and Sun Xiulian listened to Aunt Wang's words, and lowered their heads in shame, among which Sun Xiulian said.

"Mom, we were wrong, don't be angry, don't be angry, we won't complain anymore, just put out the fire!"

Just as Sun Xiulian apologized, Wang Cunren suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "It's all the Zheng family's fault, if it weren't for their stew, how could there be so many things!" ”

As soon as Wang Cunren's words came out, Aunt Wang said angrily: "Boss, what you say is a bit unreasonable!" Is it your business to stew meat? What does this have to do with people?

"Why are you the chairman or the prime minister? People stew meat, and they have to come to you for instructions, and they can only stew when you agree? ”

Seeing that Aunt Wang was angry, Wang Cunren quickly stood up and said, "No, Mom!" That was not what I meant! ”

"I mean, the Zheng family stews meat, why do you still make the yard full of fragrance, otherwise our little treasure will cry?"

"If our little treasure doesn't cry, how can there be so many things?"

After Sun Xiulian heard this, she hurriedly echoed: "That's it, I think so too, the Zheng family is to blame for this!" ”

"You guys, come on, I don't bother to talk about you, hey! Never mind! Don't say it, don't say it! Aunt Wang sighed again after speaking, and then sat back in the chair with a smile.

……

"Whose stew is so fragrant? Still don't let people live? Hurry up and bring me two pieces! Lao Tzu hasn't eaten meat for more than half a year, if you don't let Lao Tzu eat it, Lao Tzu will report you! ”

Li Funian, who was drunk and hazy in the courtyard of the middle courtyard, held a wine bottle in his hand, and shouted loudly in the direction of Zheng's house while pouring it into his mouth.

At this time, the neighbors in the yard heard the movement and ran out to see the excitement.

The people in the front yard, the back yard, and the middle yard all came, and it was so lively for a while.

- I'm the dividing line -

It's the end of the month, the last day! I want to cry without tears when I see the data, and it's really miserable to see what I don't have!
