Decide who to invite for the drink.

All the people surnamed Yin in the village came to each family, and the village cadres were also invited.

Yin Yuan and Hongbing's friends, classmates who studied together, and teachers at Dad's school.

Acquaintances who are more familiar with the neighborhood and usually get along well.

Use these two days to inform you.

Many of Yin Yuan's classmates and acquaintances in the village were still working outside and had not returned home, so Yin Yuan had to tell their parents at home about it.

Tell them that if his child doesn't come back, his parents can come and drink.

I won't take a penny as a gift.

Sun Zaohua renovated the bathroom in two days, and Yin Yuan paid him.

The craftsmanship is not good, if you go to Jiangming to decorate for others, this craftsmanship will definitely not work.

But in the village, you don't pay attention to it, you can use it.

Twenty-four years later, my father said that the two pigs raised in their school called Li Fengshou, the pig killer, to slaughter the pigs.

As soon as Yin Yuan got up, he heard the wailing of pigs from the village opposite.

For many years, there has been a habit that the village primary school raises two pigs every year, and after slaughtering them at the end of the year, they are sold at the market price, and the income goes to the school finance to subsidize some of the school's expenses.

But all the pigs were distributed to a few teachers as welfare.

No one in the village expressed any opinion.

The school also has another fish pond with an area of more than one acre.

Usually, each class arranges a labor class once a week, and the teacher arranges for the students to pull weeds and feed the fish.

Some find wild vegetables to feed the pigs.

It can be said that fish pond fish and pig pen pigs are all raised by students looking for food.

Yin Benfan is responsible for selling pork at the village gate.

When the mother saw her son get up, she said to him, "After breakfast, you go and replace your father for half an hour so that he can come home for breakfast."

Yin Yuan came to the small gate of the village and saw many villagers gathered around.

Li Fengshou was busy cutting pork and weighing it.

Yin Benfan recorded the pork sold in each order, collected money, and put an abacus next to it.

Yin Yuan asked his father to go back to breakfast and take his place for him.

Li Fengshou smiled and said, "Boss Yin is back, will you plan to do it?"

Yin Yuan said, "I don't need to use abacus, and I can't make mistakes in mental arithmetic."

Yin Benfan knew that his son would plan to dish, so he got up and left.

Bring back the pork liver and a pair of pig intestines.

"Teacher Yin, don't you get a few catties of fresh pork back?" Li Fengshou stopped him.

This year, the price of pork has risen a lot, 4.5 yuan per catty, and the villagers who buy pork only buy one or two catties.

Yin Yuan asked Li Fengshou to cut a few catties of pork ribs and a few catties of lean meat for his father to bring back.

Dad came over after breakfast, and he went to the village backyard to watch the fish pond and net fish.

Du Rongjun squatted by the fish pond, saw Yin Yuan, and greeted him with a smile: "Boss Yin, should you pick a few of the largest grass carp to make fish balls?"

"The largest fish pond in the school is only two or three catties, how big can the fish be raised for a year?"

"You're wrong, the biggest one is four or five catties, every year when Principal Li asks someone to buy fish fry, he buys more than one pound of big fish and puts them away, not the kind of small fry."

As long as it is a fish raised by grass, the taste is still original and fresh.

The kind of fish that is raised by eating feed has less umami.

He said to Du Rongjun, "In two days, your cousin will come and help me make an eight-table banquet, and tell him to buy fish and this kind of fish pond fish, and pork to buy this kind of domestic pig."

While talking, a van drove to the entrance of the village, and two young men got out of the car and asked the villager who bought pork, "Does that Yin Yuan's family live around here?"

Yin Benfan replied, "I'm Yin Yuan's father, do you have something to do with him?" He's watching the fish in the backyard pond."

The person who came said, "Hello Uncle Yin, I am Ge Liang, Du Rongjun's cousin, Yin Yuan made an appointment with me yesterday to help your family make an eight-table banquet. Pull something over today, there's a fish pond to net fish?

Then I'm going to have to buy the fish."

He came to the fish pond in the backyard, and Du Rongjun introduced him and Yin Yuan.

Ge Liang said to Yin Yuan, "I used a van to pull a large water tank to put fish, I bought good fish here, kept them in the water tank, and then I had to come over to make fish balls, meatballs, fried fish, fried meat."

At this time, several villagers who were fishing with nets pulled a net to the shore and were taking the fish out of the net and throwing them into the cage.

Ge Liang picked eight grass carp weighing three or four catties and paid for them.

The villagers were pleasantly surprised to find that there were two soft-shelled turtles in the nets.

The soft-shelled turtle is ten times more expensive than the grass carp, and no one present wants to buy it.

Yin Yuan said sell it to me, it's not bad to buy it back and make soft-shelled turtle soup.

He picked a grass carp weighing five catties and two soft-shelled turtles.

The Ge Liang brothers brought eight grass carp to Yin Yuan's house, filled the large water tank, and raised the fish in it.

The van also brought a stove, various ingredients, oil, rice, sauce and vinegar, and even dishes and chopsticks.

"Is there enough for the table? Can I borrow eight dining tables from my neighbors?"

Ge Liang asked Yin Yuan's mother.

Zhou Yafei said: "I have two sets of dining tables at home, and I can borrow six from my neighbors, and I should be able to borrow them."

Whoever organizes a banquet has to borrow a dining table.

No one has a few sets of tables.

Ge Liang said, "Then help me borrow eight sets of dining tables, and I will prepare the rest."

He looked at the other building of the warehouse and said, "It's no problem to have a dozen dining tables on the first floor of the warehouse here, and you can use a room as a makeshift kitchen."

Yin Yuan paid him part of the money.

When Wan Ting saw him buy two soft-shelled turtles and came back, she said happily, "I saw that my mother fried soft-shelled turtles and made soup with old hens, and it tasted very delicious."

Yin Yuan said, "We also have an old hen at home, I'll catch one and slaughter it, and make this dish for you to eat."

Although my mother does not raise pigs, she has more than a dozen chickens and two geese at home.

Yin Yuan went to catch an old hen, and after slaughtering it, put hot water to pluck the feathers and clean them, and hollowed out the internal organs.

At this time, the father came home and said that the two pigs were sold out.

I came back with a bowl of cooked pig's blood in a large bowl.

He said, "There is a person in Xiashan Township who has built a pond to raise soft-shelled turtles and baby fish, and there is a mountain spring there. Many wealthy bosses and cadres in the county often go to buy soft-shelled turtles and baby fish. There's another guy who keeps snakes. Now when people have money, they can learn and enjoy themselves."

Yin Yuan said, "When the red soldiers come back tomorrow, we will also go buy a few and come back to eat. I couldn't afford to eat before, but now that I have money, I can buy anything good and taste it."

Mom took care of the chickens.

Yin Yuan said, "I'll fry this chicken and soft-shelled turtle."

He took ginger and shiitake mushrooms and peeled a bamboo shoot.

Slaughter the soft-shelled turtle and cut open the back shell, peel off the yellow grease inside, put it in boiling water, and gently tear off the membrane on the back shell of the soft-shelled turtle.

Cut into chunks and cook in hot water for a few minutes.

Cook the chicken for a few minutes as well.

Heat the oil and pour in the chicken and soft-shelled turtle meat, stir-fry, add the sliced ginger and bamboo shoots.

Add a small amount of chili pepper, pour water and simmer for dozens of minutes.

A sweet and delicious chicken clay turtle is done.

Another plate of bacon mixed with winter bamboo shoots was fried.

Two plates of greens.

A bowl of egg soup.

Wanting and her parents ate it, and they all said that Yin Yuan's cooking skills were good, and they could hand over the kitchen to him during the Chinese New Year.

Mom and Dad were still busy in the kitchen after lunch.

Cut the fish, remove the meat, and mix the ingredients in a certain proportion.

Cut a few pounds of lean meat and prepare it to make meatballs.

Dad put the fish and lean meat in two pots and prepared to chop them with a kitchen knife.

Yin Yuan thought: These two big pots of meat can't be chopped up by my father in an afternoon.

It's just that now there is no household churning

machine purchase.

"Dad, you chop the fish, I'll chop the lean meat."

Chop the lean meat, an appropriate amount of carrots, and water chestnut ginger into a puree, add an appropriate amount of sweet potato starch, add light soy sauce, an appropriate amount of salt, and water to form meatballs.

It took Yin Yuan several hours to make the meatballs.

Dad's fish balls are a little more difficult in comparison, the proportions of various materials must be accurate, and a certain amount of strength is required when kneading.

Fish balls should be chopped more minced.

After the meatballs and fish balls are kneaded into a ball, boil water in time and put them in a pot to cook, then pick them up and put them on a plate, and then add water to cook them when eating.

Mom and Wanting are frying fish and ribs in the kitchen.

Wanting was burning the fire under the stove, and her face was roasted red.

That night, my mother made a dish of steamed pork with dried plum vegetables, boiled fish balls with meat skin, and mixed with taro with green vegetables.

Wanting repeatedly praised the taste of Hakka cuisine.

Yin Yuan also asked her, "Do you want moldy tofu?" That is, tofu, I guarantee that the moldy tofu made by my family here in my hometown will definitely taste better than the one I bought in Jiangming Supermarket."

He took a porcelain bowl, went to a closed clay pot in the kitchen, and picked up pieces of square, slightly yellowed tofu.

At the same time, a pungent smell of tofu alkali made Wanting smell it, and she couldn't help but smell it.

Yin Yuan took out the softly soaked chili pepper and ginger from the mud pot and filled a bowl.

He asked Wanting to taste it.

"Doesn't it taste the same as buying it at the supermarket?"

After tasting it, Wanting exclaimed, "It's really different."

My mother smiled and said, "If it's delicious, after the New Year, bring all those cans of moldy tofu to Jiangming, all of which are homemade tofu by me and your father, and brewed with soju after the mold is ready."

At dinner, my cousin Apples brought over a large plate of freshly made tofu.

"This is my freshly packed tofu, and my mom told me to bring a bowl of it."

Zhou Yafei said, "Your uncle and eldest brother made fish balls and meatballs this afternoon, as well as fried pork ribs and fried fish, just when you came, bring some back, otherwise I will send some tomorrow."

There is no exchange with the third family, and the second family generally has delicious food and will send some over.

When the four of them go home, they usually eat at the eldest brother's house.

The third family used to have a good life, and the eldest brother and the second brother's family took advantage of his family.

Seeing that there was still soft-shelled turtle cooking chicken soup on the table, Apple ate a bowl of it unceremoniously.

After eating, I said that it tasted good.

After taking a shower, he was sitting in the living room watching TV, and someone outside the door called him: "Yin Yuan, is Yin Yuan at home?"

Yin Yuan opened the door and walked out.

Outside stood Du Rongjun and Li Qingyun, both carrying an air gun and holding three flashlights in their hands.

"Yin Yuan, are you interested, go to the woods at the foot of the mountain to hunt birds?"

Du Rongjun said: "At night, those sparrows are sleeping on the trees, and when the flashlight is blazing, they stand motionless on the branches and let you hit them with air guns. Playing a dozen in one night is no problem at all."

Li Qingyun also said, "Go ahead, there's nothing to do at home anyway, and it's very sweet to make some sparrow soup." Your wife is from a big city, and she certainly hasn't drunk it."

In those days, no one cared about the sale of hunting rifles in shopping malls, and many people in the countryside still had bird guns at home.

There were frequent incidents of wounding, which were later completely confiscated.

Yin Yuan shook his head and said, "Go to the woods at night, the mosquitoes are high, there are many thorns, and if you are not careful, you will be bitten by stepping on something, so don't go."

In his previous life, the economic conditions were poor, and when he returned to the village, he often went to the woods with Du Rongjun at night to shoot sparrows with air guns.

Once three or four people went, I don't know what the reason was, Du Rongjun shot Li Qingyun in the thigh, and later sent him to the hospital for surgery.

Since then, no one in the village has ever said that they will go to the mountains to hunt sparrows at night.

Now that the economic conditions are better, I can afford to take risks again.

"Hehe, Big Boss Yin is now a big boss, and his body is even better

It's delicate, and I don't want to go to the mountains to hunt sparrows at night. Forget it, let's go for the two of us."

Yin Yuan kindly reminded them: "It is dark on the mountain at night, pay attention to safety."

Du Rongjun said, "You think it's the first time you go up the mountain, and you're old, what else will happen? I'll send you a few sparrows to make soup tomorrow morning......

Yin Yuan naturally couldn't dissuade them from the fact that he shot Li Qingyun with an air gun in his previous life, otherwise they would definitely think that he had a mental problem, and just hoped that they were okay.

A few members of the family also heard what the two young men outside were looking for him.

My mother said, "Last time the Red Soldier came home, he also went to the county town to buy an air gun and a dozen boxes of aluminum bullets, in his room, if you want to play with it, you can open the door for you."

Wanting persuaded: "There are black lights and many mosquitoes on the mountain, so don't go."

Yin Yuan said to his mother: "In the future, if the Red Soldier says that he will go to fight sparrows at night, he will tell him not to go, and he will not be short of that money, if he wants to eat sparrows, he can often buy them in the bazaar."

This kind of little sparrow costs three yuan a piece.

Some people hang nets everywhere in the mountains and forests, and they go to collect them the next morning, and they can collect dozens of them a day.

Earn tens or hundreds of dollars a day.

Pan Yulin in the village specializes in this.

This man went to the fields to meet frogs during the day, went to the mountains, forests and grasslands to catch snakes, and left a few acres of land at home to his frail wife to take care of, and he did not help during the busy farming season.

He said that I went around the mountains, forests, and fields, and I earned more money than the cadres of the unit.

Dad supported Yin Yuan's idea.

I slept until midnight, and there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Who knocked on the door in the middle of the night?"

Wanting also woke up.

Mom and Dad next door woke up and got up to open the door.

A few minutes later, the father said to his son outside the door, "It's Du Rongjun, Li Qingyun was injured in the thigh by Du Rongjun's car, and they want you to drive Li Qingyun to the county hospital."

It happened just like in the previous life.

He dressed and walked to the courtyard outside, only to see Li Qingyun moaning in pain, and blood was on his right pants.

Du Rongjun looked panicked.

"Yin Yuan helps, can you start work and take us to the county hospital?"

Yin Yuan didn't say a word, found an old blanket from the room and put it on the back seat of the car, and asked Du Rongjun to help Li Qingyun sit on it.

Li Qingyun's blood can't be allowed to stick to the seat of the trolley.
