A table of people sat down, 5 brothers of the Yang family, 3 masters and apprentices of Master Zhu, plus Liu Jiaojiang and Chen Fan, exactly 10 big men.

There was a bowl of wine in front of everyone, only a large bowl in front of Chen Fan, with a wine jug in hot water, and a small wine cup in his hand, which Yang Ju took the initiative to prepare for him.

Master Zhu glanced at it and couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Chen should be from a particular family, my master said, 'Don't drink cold wine in autumn and winter, don't walk at night, don't collect official money, and have no illness and no disaster in your life', but unfortunately these older generations have not seen it in the past ten years." ”

If he had not dared to say such things before October last year, but after the defeat of the bad guys, he must still abide by principles in major matters, and no one will gossip in small matters, and in just a few months, the social atmosphere has changed a lot.

For example, in the first ten years, I can only think about it at home behind closed doors, and at most the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is richer.

But this year, the supply and marketing cooperatives actually put the Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers on the shelves early, and there are many other New Year's goods, which is a big change.

When Chen Fan heard Master Zhu's words, he hurriedly snorted, "I'm just weak in physique, and I don't feel sick to my stomach when I drink cold wine, but it's nothing else." ”

Master Zhu smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Captain Yang picked up the wine bowl and naturally diverted the topic, "Today, I would like to thank Master Zhu and the two senior apprentices for their help, and I would like to thank Master Liu and Master Xiao Chen for their hard work. ”

Chen Fan, who was upgraded to a little master, picked up the small wine cup, clinked glasses with everyone's wine bowls with a smile, took a sip of wine, and a warm flow flowed down his stomach, and his body quickly warmed up.

It's just that drinking on an empty stomach is indeed a little uncomfortable, so Chen Fan is ready to eat food and press it.

But before he could touch the chopsticks, he saw that none of the people at the table were moving the chopsticks, but all looked at Captain Yang.

What does it mean?

After taking a sip of wine, Captain Yang put down the wine bowl, and then spread out his hand and let go, "Come on, come on, eat vegetables and eat vegetables." ”

Artisan Liu didn't speak, and the others didn't say anything, only Master Zhu snorted, "The master comes first, the master comes first." ”

Captain Yang deliberately put his face on the face, "Master Zhu, don't be polite, if you don't move the chopsticks, where do we dare to move?" ”

Master Zhu also continued to be humble, "Captain Yang, you are the eldest brother, and here we are also the eldest brother, so I must ask the brothers to come first." ”

Captain Yang's eldest brother also joined in the persuasion session, "Master Zhu, you are highly respected, you come, you come." ”

After pushing back and forth like this two or three times, Master Zhu lifted the chopsticks and grinned and laughed, "Then I'm welcome!" ”

Captain Yang spread his hands, "Come on, come on, try the craftsmanship of Master Liu and Master Xiao Chen." ”

Master Zhu just sandwiched a piece of fried pork liver and put it in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes were open, and he gave Chen Fan a thumbs up, "Fresh and juicy, there is no fishy smell yet, Master Chen is a good craft!" ”

Chen Fan grinned dryly, not knowing what to react to.

I, Nima, have so much trouble eating food, I'm so tired.

I didn't see so much red tape yesterday.

So Captain Yang didn't treat himself as a guest?

Master Zhu moved the first chopsticks, and everyone else picked up the chopsticks and started.

Except for Chen Fan, the first dish of the others was not to eat the piping hot pig-killing dish, but to stretch out to Chen Fan's fried three dishes.

Blood sausage, stir-fried pork liver and back to the pot meat.

Compared to later generations, people can sit at home and eat the world's dishes with their mobile phones. In this day and age, what can be eaten in your mouth is local food. At most, there are people from other places who marry or move their families to bring fresh dishes.

So none of you have ever eaten these dishes.

At this time, when I tasted it, I immediately praised it again and again, and the chopsticks kept raising my glass.

Although Chen Fan really wanted to taste the familiar taste, he really couldn't grab them, so he simply targeted the pig-killing dish.

Chef Liu's craftsmanship can't be said to be good, even the level of an ordinary village chef, but it is not bad, and it is still better than the home-cooked food made by Aunt Yang.

A pot of pork offal stewed softly, blended with fresh cabbage juice, not oily, not greasy, salty and suitable, arousing people's appetite.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, everyone also opened the chatterbox.

Of course, the one who talked the most was Master Zhu, today's guest and guest.

After Chen Fan ate seven minutes full, he slowed down, tasted warm wine, drank and ate at the same time, and listened to some "old stories" of this year by the way.

Master Zhu had already taken off his padded jacket, only wearing an autumn coat on his body, with a big waist and a round waist like a door god, he took a sip of the wine bowl, ate a mouthful of meat, and said the old saying that he didn't know how many times.

"In 62, the higher authorities issued a notice that not only the implementation of the purchase of pigs, according to the number of people in each household, required that pigs must be raised and sold to food stations, but also increased the purchase price of livestock, for the sale of pigs to the food station farmers, reward the sale of grain and industrial products.

How good it was at that time, raising a pig, worthy of a strong labor, every household is naturally willing to raise pigs, I can't be busy alone, so I will report to recruit people, and the leader agreed to give us 7 masters each with two apprentices, and my first batch of apprentices was also accepted at that time.

By the second year, the situation of not receiving pigs for three years had completely changed, and the 'negotiation of purchase and sale' was added, allowing the price to fluctuate, and I slaughtered more than 1,000 of them alone that year.

In 65 years, the livestock purchase trial prepaid prize grain sales. ”

He turned his head to look at Chen Fan, who was listening attentively, and immediately took him as a confidant and explained carefully, "What do you mean?" That is, as long as the purchase task comes down to you, I will first send you the grain that you should get from selling pigs, and then you will pull the pigs to the food station to sell, and then refund more and make up for less according to the weight. This suddenly pulled up the enthusiasm of the people, and the county purchased more than 100,000 pigs and 100,000 pigs! How can you finish eating? ”

Chen Fan blinked his eyes and silently calculated how many catties are 100,000 pigs?

The meat yield of pigs is generally between 70% and 80%, according to 70%, the minimum standard for a pig is 120 catties, the meat is at least 84 catties, and 100,000 heads is 8.4 million catties?

At least 8.4 million catties?

Intimidating!

However, calculating the per capita consumption, a county is calculated according to 300,000 people, and the average annual consumption of a person is only 28 catties? A little more than two pounds a month?

This is still assuming that all the pork stays local, in fact, most of the pork is supplied to the big cities, and there is not much that can stay locally!

Master Zhu poured a sip of wine and ate another bite of food.

It's a pity that at this time, the meat and vegetables have been almost eaten, not to mention the dishes made by Chen Fan, who can only hold two fresh cabbage and red cabbage moss just under the chopsticks and wine.

Wiping his mouth, Master Zhu continued, "Where can you eat so many pigs?" This year, most cities across the country canceled pork tickets and opened up the supply, but they still couldn't sell out.

Why? Because most people can't afford it, a pound of pork is more than a piece, how many families can afford to eat it every day?

As a result, a lot of meat is bad, and it is a pity that it is thrown.

The pork can't be sold, so it must no longer be open to harvest, so it changed the method and made a 'door-to-door pig inspection, qualified certification, regular and fixed-point, and appointment purchase', which finally solved the problem of 'rising warehouse'. ”

Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

The problem of increasing the inventory has been solved, but what about the families of those production team members who have invested in costs and energy?

Of course, Master Zhu didn't say anything, and he didn't care about it, but continued, "Later, that is, in 66 years, the policy changed, and the method of purchasing and prize sales was completely and completely canceled. This is good, there is no purchase task, there is no reward for sales, and how many people are willing to raise pigs? ”

He turned his head to look at Captain Yang, "How many percent of our pig farmers in Lujiawan were at that time?" ”

Captain Yang tilted his head and smiled, "How many percent?" Basically, they all raise a pig to eat for the New Year, and they don't raise any pigs that hand over the task. ”

Master Zhu patted the table and turned his head to look at Chen Fan, "Look, look, ordinary people are not stupid." The purchase price of a hairy pig is 3 mao 5 a catty, and the highest in some places is not more than 4 mao 5, what is the market price of live pigs outside the task? A pound of 9 cents 8! ”

Chen Fandeng's eyes were straight, and the price difference was 6 cents 3?

Master Zhu spread his hands, "The price difference is so much, and the reward is canceled, one does not give food and the other does not give tickets, the ghost is willing to raise?"

As a result, in the two years of 68 and 69, less than 50,000 heads were collected every year, and people killed the New Year's pigs, kept half of them and sold half of them, so that the pork tickets went out again.

In 73, the temporary resumption of prize sales and purchases, just had some effect, and was canceled again, until last year, when the restoration was redetermined, and the number of pigs increased. ”
