Chapter 197, Meat and Flashlight
The neighbors all turned a blind eye to the two bean geese next to the wild boar.
Because it was only about six catties, it was too small, and everyone didn't see it.
Or, I have been attracted by wild boars, how can I still tolerate bean geese in my eyes?
In the era when there was no oil and water, everyone's desire for lard was very great.
Bean geese are birds that obviously don't have much fat, and they can't be compared with wild boars.
Many years later, he came back with a bucket of water, ready to help scald the pigs.
When I was in the mountains, after the bullets killed the wild boars, I bled two wild boars many years after cleaning up the battlefield.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the loss of pork meat because there is no bloodletting.
Pork that does not bleed will have a lot of residual blood in the meat, and it will naturally not taste as good as the meat that has not been bled out.
Kang Daotong also rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help deal with the wild boar hair, but they didn't dare, so he hurriedly asked him to sit in the house.
But he said that he hadn't killed a pig in years, and he had experienced how it used to feel.
Without saying anything, he pushed Lao Xu aside, picked up the knife and began to shave the wild boar.
"When I used to fight, it was rare to eat a bite of meat, and I was still the sharpshooter in the team at that time."
Speaking of these, Kang Daotong's spirit soared.
The many years family next to him, as well as the neighbors who were watching nearby, all listened carefully to what he told about the past.
Don't look at the many people present who are older than Kang Daotong, but Kang Daotong is a person who participated in the Anti-Japanese War, the Liberation War and the Northern Campaign, so it can be said that he has rich combat experience.
"Leadership."
"Call my brother, I said don't call the leader at home, why don't you listen all the time?"
was robbed by the other party for a while, smiled for many years, and continued:
"Brother, don't I remember that you are only in your thirties? How did you participate in the Anti-Japanese War? ”
This era is still based on the statement of eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, after all, before the War of Liberation, it has always been ruled by the Kuomintang, so the term eight years is used.
This statement refers to the fact that after the July 7 Incident in 1937, the outbreak of a full-scale war ended in four or five years after the surrender of the little devils.
However, in real terms, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression began in 1931.
Therefore, it should be 14 years of the Anti-Japanese War, not some bullshit 8 years of the Anti-Japanese War.
But either way, I haven't been born for many years.
When Kang Daotong heard this, he glared and said:
"I'm a full fifteen years older than you, and I'm fifteen years old, that is, I started joining the army in three or seven years."
Hearing the other party's words, many years quickly calculated that Kang Daotong should be thirty-six years old this year.
Lao Xu couldn't help but be shocked, he went to be a soldier at the age of fifteen, no wonder he is now a leader.
However, so many people have become soldiers, and how many have become leaders?
It is already a blessing that many people can even pick up a life alive, let alone be a leader.
The neighbors listened energetically, and gradually discovered that Kang Daotong, the leader, was not as serious as he seemed on the surface, but a very down-to-earth leader.
A bold neighbor has asked:
"Leader, have you really gnawed on tree roots before? How did you survive such a hard work? ”
After many years of taking a look, it was Liu Guangfu, a little kid, and he couldn't help but mourn for the other party in his heart.
With the temperament of the leader in the bangs, his own children are so against the leader, a board must be indispensable.
It's already past five o'clock in the evening, and it's almost six o'clock.
The sun is about to set, and when the time comes, Lao Liu, who was wandering outside, will come back, knowing this, Liu Guangfu will definitely suffer.
Kang Daotong just glanced at Liu Guangfu, and then said lightly:
"Not to mention gnawing tree roots, gnawing on soil, simply drinking water, etc., what difficulties have we not experienced?"
"How did you get through? What else can I do if I resist it? ”
To put it lightly, in fact, without strong willpower, it simply cannot hold up.
The neighbors comforted and praised the good and obedient, and Kang Daotong also responded with a warm smile.
The atmosphere was very harmonious.
At this time, the two wild boars have also shaved the pig's hair, and the next step is to disembowel, and then divide the meat.
The more this time goes, the more greedy the neighbors become.
It's just that the families still called their children away.
With Kang Dao with him, no one in the neighbors dared to cause trouble.
Even, in order to avoid suspicion, Kang Daotong did not mistakenly think that everyone and these neighbors had been greedy for pork for many years, and quickly evacuated.
Everyone quickly ran out, and it was no surprise for many years.
But nothing was said either.
I happened to meet Kang Daotong in the afternoon, and the reason why he took the initiative to ask the other party to help transport the wild boar back was not only because his bicycle was really difficult, but also because of the current situation.
Also, I just wanted to ask about the poke-faced trafficker yesterday.
He hates human traffickers, and rightly so.
But he doesn't just leave it unanswered.
You know, human traffickers are generally gangs, who knows if there are other gangs on the scene?
Although there were many people at that time, the armband team came quickly.
However, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be targeted by trafficking gangs, so they will have to be questioned for many years.
Although this time it was somewhat impulsive and violated the principle of Gou Dao.
But, if he was like a tortoise, then he would rather not live in such a nest.
In life, there are many places that need to be compromised, but he does not want to compromise on some things that he has been haunting in the past, and he is not willing to compromise anymore.
What's more, he believes that Kang Daotong will definitely not let him down.
The two wild boar boars were quickly disposed of.
It has been estimated for many years that the meat yield of more than 200 catties of this big wild boar is about 62 percent, which is relatively gratifying.
And the fat-to-lean ratio is only a little lower than that of ordinary domestic pigs, and there is still a lot of fat.
A total of two hundred and twenty-three pounds of wild boar, one hundred and thirty-eight pounds of meat were divided.
The meat yield and fat-to-lean ratio of the small wild boar are much worse, only forty-eight catties of meat, and the fat is also very little.
This is also understandable, after all, the piglets are still growing meat, and the fat has not yet grown.
After the meat is ready, the forty-eight catties of meat need to be divided.
The remaining 138 catties of meat, half of which were marinated with salt, and half were directly chopped into enemas to make sausages.
There are four women at home, Zhou Hongmei, Hu Meifeng, Fan Zhaodi and Qin Huairu, plus Lao Xu's father and son, as well as three Xiaoqi and Xu Wumei, and they will definitely be able to complete this work in one night.
However, the most important thing at the moment is to make dinner, and then eat the pig rice first.
took out ten catties of meat from the little wild boar and fried it directly that night.
Counting Kang Daotong, there are a total of thirteen people, and each person can barely get seven taels of meat, which is not a small amount.
Five catties of braised cabbage, and the remaining five catties are directly sliced and fried cabbage and stewed potatoes, tonight's meal is considered a luxury.
After the meal was prepared, everyone sat around the living room and ate together.
However, there are not enough stools.
So the four of them, Xu Wumei, divided small plates, and sat on a small wooden stool in the kitchen to eat.
Many years took two bottles of wine out and said with a smile:
"Brother Tong, this is the glutinous rice wine I brewed at home last time, the degree is not high, I will drink it."
Kang Daotong heard this, but his eyes were bright, staring at the two bottles of glutinous rice wine and said:
"Hey, I haven't drunk glutinous rice wine for a long time, come on, let's get a cup and try it first"
Here, for many years, he helped pour wine, but Kang Daotong was not polite at all, and drank a glass directly.
Then he praised it with a lot of aftertaste:
"Awesome, much like the glutinous rice wine I've drunk in the south before, sweet and tasty, the key is not intoxicating"
"Haha, I'm so happy, for many years, you did the most beautiful thing about this today."
With these two bottles of glutinous rice wine, the start was very smooth.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Without waiting for many years to mention the matter of pockmarked face, Kang Daotong took the initiative to say:
"The person you threw to me yesterday used some tricks, and he rubbed it until this morning, and he was recruited, and an old nest in the capital was served by us."
"I've confirmed, they've all been caught, and nothing has slipped through the net."
"So, you kid are relieved, right?"
It's not the first time that the two have dealt with each other, so they are relatively transparent about each other's temperaments.
Kang Daotong knows very well that he has been afraid of trouble for many years, but the latter is a person with a very sense of justice and principles, which is so contradictory.
But it is precisely because of this strong sense of contradiction and incongruity that it has been real for many years.
It is also a promising young man who makes Kang Daotong incomprehensible.
Since it is impossible to let many years enter the relevant departments, Kang Daotong tries to choose the way of 'cooperation' without giving up the invitation to continue.
After all, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were similar guerrilla units, militia units, etc., which were incorporated but did not have an formation.
If there are past examples to refer to, then Kang Daotong will not violate discipline and others by doing this.
What's more, a red heart for many years is very transparent, so what is there to worry about?
"Haha!" There was a moment of embarrassment for many years, but the past was quickly covered up with laughter.
"Thank you, brother, it's all in the wine, I respect you."
Kang Daotong looked at the other party and shook his head with a smile.
Then I drank the wine in the quilt in one gulp.
I drank wine, ate food, and chatted happily, so that's all for today.
Before leaving, many years took twenty catties of pork to each other.
But Kang Daotong didn't ask for it, and said:
"You know I don't lack this, and you know what I lack."
Just one sentence, so that many years have nothing to say.
Indeed, what the other party needs is talent, not 'twenty catties of pork'.
People are leaders, how can they lack this bit of food and drink?
Watching each other's jeeps disappear into the night, he smiled bitterly for many years and went home with pork.
At home, Lao Xu and they are busy chopping meat, cleaning casings, division of labor and cooperation, very orderly.
Seeing him come in with pork, Zhou Hongmei couldn't help but exclaim:
"San'er, didn't you give pork to the leader? Why did you bring it back again? ”
Everyone looked at each other for many years, but their expressions were different.
Hu Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi are secretly happy, because in this case, the two of them can get more meat.
It's a pity that they think too much.
There are many people who need to divide the meat for many years, and they have to be delivered in time tonight and tomorrow morning.
"My brother didn't ask for it, I can't send it out, what people want is not pork, but me."
He smiled bitterly, and when everyone looked at him suspiciously, he pointed to his brain again:
"To be precise, my brother is interested in my ability, that is, this brain."
"Otherwise, people wouldn't be so willing to help me."
The family was stunned, Xu Xiaoman and Xu Weidong, the two little guys, didn't understand very much, but they also nodded in understanding.
After the explanation, many years later, he said that he was going to deliver pork, and the matter of making sausages would be left to everyone.
Zhou Hongmei waved her hand and said:
"Go and go back quickly, just leave it to us here, by the way, bring a kerosene lamp and pay attention to safety."
It's dark outside, and it's a big problem to see the road.
The brightness of kerosene lamps is also average, but it is better than no illumination at all.
There is no flashlight at home because this thing is expensive, and the battery is expensive.
Kerosene lamps are much cheaper than flashlights, and the family doesn't need to walk outside at night often, so they don't need flashlights.
As early as 1920, the country's first factory to produce flashlights was established in Baiyun in the south, that is, Hutou brand flashlights.
Later, because of the war, the flashlight industry in the Baiyun area withered away, and it was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that the dead wood was able to come to spring.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were more than 20 manufacturers of raw flashlights in Baiyun, the largest of which were Guangdong Hutchison Hardware Products Factory and Dongzhou Torch Factory.
Later, like many private enterprises, in the early fifties, Guangdong Hutchison Hardware Products Factory merged with 11 electroplating factories including Chang'an Metal Products Factory and 4 welding factories to form Guangdong Torch Factory.
Most of the flashlights in the capital are produced in the south.
Families who don't have the need to buy flashlights generally don't go for it.
Many years nodded, carried the remaining thirty-eight catties of pork and kerosene lamps, and turned around and went out.
When Hu Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi saw this scene, their mouths opened wide.
This, all the pork was taken?
In addition to the small intestine of the pig, the remaining pork liver and large intestine were taken to the neighbors of the courtyard to be divided.
Except for the Jia family who didn't get it, almost every family has it, even Aunt Wang and Aunt Sui.
The tense relationship between the Jia family and many years is clear in the courtyard.
Pigs were put into the water to gag the mouths of these neighbors, so as not to be gossiped about, and for many years they were helpless.
This is the kind of neighborhood relationship in this era, but unlike later generations, I don't know who the next-door neighbor lives in, and I haven't even met a few times.
But in the fifties, most of the neighbors could actually live in peace, except for those whose relations were really tense.
At the time when I had just been reborn many years ago, most of the people in the courtyard of No. 95 were actually beasts, and most of them were selfish.
But even if it is Liu Haizhong who wants to be a leader, Xu Damao, who is selfish, an uncle who is difficult to decide in the future, a stupid pillar who fights and cooks, Yan Bugui who is careful and calculating, etc., they are just poor people who are deeply trapped in the adversity of the times, coerced by the wind and waves of life, full of the vicissitudes of life and unwillingness, and passively accept the judgment of fate.
However, after in-depth contact, these poor people are just a microcosm of the times.
For many years, he didn't ask these people to help him, but he begged them not to provoke him.
He went to the mountains to hunt two large wild boars and came back, and the news had already spread to several nearby miscellaneous compounds.
If he is reluctant to even divide the pig into the water, it will not be long before the title of miserly will become a new nickname for many years.
Don't underestimate the nicknames of this era, many times it is because of these bad things.
That's why it's been going to be done for many years.
In my last life, in the eighties and nineties, when some people in the village hunted wild boars, they were all the same, and they would share some of the profits to their neighbors.
People who are too stingy will eventually be gradually disliked by others and slowly separated from the masses.
When there is a general meeting of the whole house or something in his house, these neighbors will not only not help, but will even stand by and watch coldly.
There is a way to fall into the well, and there are many people who send charcoal in the snow.
In Ji Chungeng's house, when they knocked on the door for many years, their family was chatting in the house, and there were guests.
"Director, I went into the mountains to hunt yesterday, and I have two wild boars, so I'll give you some pork."
After a brief explanation, the five catties of pork in his hand were handed over.
Seeing the pork handed over for many years, Ji Chungeng subconsciously took it, and Director Wang had already invited the former to come in and sit down.
"Director Wang, I won't bother you, come back another day, and leave first."
Come and go in a hurry, and the fight is speed.
Looking at the back of many years of leaving, Ji Chungeng came back to his senses, so much pork?
Behind them, the family also froze for a moment.
Five catties of pork is a lot, and it is quite heavy in your hand.
Ji Chungeng's neighbors also exclaimed, this pork is quite fat, it is a good pork belly.
"Xiao Xu, this young man is really good, he knows what good things are sent to you, old man, how is it? I wasn't wrong, was I? ”
Director Wang frowned at her man and said, before Ji Chungeng could speak, the neighbor asked curiously:
"That little comrade just now is how many years?"
Obviously, it wasn't the first time the neighbors had heard about it, but it was the first time they had seen it for many years.
"That's not it, people have sent us things several times before and after, and if you change to ordinary people, I guess I forgot about it a long time ago."
"Yes, yes, you have a good eye, you still want to think about what we will send him back next time" Ji Chungeng reluctantly compromised and changed the topic.
At this time, many years have come to Dean Shen's house.
This time, he wanted to put down the pork and slip away, but was stopped by Shen Chengquan.
"I said, Xiaoxu, have you forgotten something? During the two-day National Day holiday, I thought you would come to me, but I didn't expect you to go hunting? And you don't tell me a word when you go into the mountains to hunt? It's not enough of a friend, right? ”
Shen Chengquan is the eldest son of Dean Shen, and he himself works in the security department of the rolling mill.
It's just that I haven't met each other a few times when I went to the rolling mill many years ago.
Think of it as a leader, and not an ordinary leader.
"Brother Quan, it's really not that I don't call you, it wasn't my group's bureau to go hunting in the mountains yesterday, and I was also dragged by them."
After a brief explanation for many years, Shen Chengquan did not continue to dwell on this matter, but pulled the former to ask a question about the disappearance of female workers in the rolling mill.
