Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 240 239. Killing Pig Vegetables
The one-week class time is coming to an end soon, which means that Xiang Jin and the others can go home again.

When they went back, Aunt Liao's house was slaughtering new year pigs, so they invited their whole family and Grandma Mo's family to eat pig slaughtering dishes at their house in the evening.

Xiang Jin put down her backpack, poured herself a glass of water, and then asked her mother, "It's not the end of the year yet, why did Aunt Liao start slaughtering New Year's pigs so early?"

Her mother said, "How early is it? The New Year will be in a month, and someone will slaughter the New Year's pig in October."

"Who is it so early?" Xiang Jin asked unconsciously.

Her mother said, "There are a lot of them. There are several families on the Liang side of our production team that were slaughtered a little after October."

"Oh mom, are we going to make bacon this year?" Xiang Jin asked after him.

Her mother said, "What to do, I have discussed it with your grandparents, and when they kill the pig, we will bring half of the pork over."

Xiang Jin paused when he drank water, "Let's carry half of it here? Then my grandma and the others only have half a piece of pork. Is it enough for such a big family?"

Her mother said, "That's enough, why not? Your two uncles are going to slaughter pigs too!"

Xiang Jin was surprised, "They want to kill too? Should they kill one head? Or if the two families gang up and kill one head, then the family will split half?"

Her mother said, "The two families slaughtered one head. If there is not enough time, your grandparents' meat will be shared with them."

"Oh, I thought their family would butcher one head. Will they be able to eat it then?"

"No? They ganged up and slaughtered one!"

Then Xiang Jin asked again, "Oh mom, when will grandpa and the others slaughter the New Year's pig?"

Her mother said, "Speaking of the roots of the twelfth lunar month, your grandma and the others said that they still want them to eat some of the sweet potatoes at home, and grow some fat, so that they can be sold at a high price."

Xiang Jin muttered, "What does slaughtering pigs have to do with selling fat pigs?"

Her mother said, "It's probably because your grandmas think that the pig is still a little skinny now, and the meat won't taste oily when the time comes, so they want to raise it again."

Xiang Jin thought for a while, then nodded, this is true, every time she bought meat on the street before, she found that many people liked to buy that fatty meat, and said that there was no need to buy fatty meat when they went back. No matter how much oil is used, the fatty meat will be fried with a lot of oil. Presumably her grandmothers have the same mentality.

Xiang Jin said to her mother, "Mom, in fact, if it's for my family to eat, then don't kill the pig too fat, if you want to eat it, you have to eat that kind of half-fat and half-lean meat.

Because the pig is too fat, the fat, cholesterol, and lecithin in it are high. It is not good for people to eat it. Not only is it easy to cause obesity, but it is also easy to cause other diseases, such as three highs, Increased fatty liver and so on.

In fact, it is better for people to eat more lean meat, such as beef and mutton, chicken and duck, and fish and other aquatic and seafood products, because these meats contain relatively high protein and are good for the human body. "

Although Yang Juyun couldn't understand what Xiang Jin said about fat, cholesterol and lecithin, she thought it was amazing that her daughter could name so many rare nouns, so she said, "Really, then I At that time, tell your grandma and the others not to make the pigs that are about to be slaughtered too fat."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then said, "I remember that the pigs in Aunt Liao's house are not small, can she eat a whole pig by herself?"

Her mother said, "The one that is slaughtered is the smallest one, and I will eat half of it with your great-grandpa and his family."

"Oh, like this?!"

"Ok!"

"By the way, my Aunt Liao invited us to eat pig dishes, but you didn't help with the cooking?"

Her mother said, "Your grandpa went to help butcher the pig, so I will stay and marinate tomorrow's stewed meat, and besides, your Aunt Liao has your Grandma Mo helping, so it doesn't take so many people. "

Xiang Jin nodded, and then suggested, "Why don't I marinate the meat, why don't you go and have a look? By the way, I also fried the medicine at home."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that your uncle and aunts said that you are taking tonic for a month. What's going on? Ah?!" Following Yang Juyun, she became nervous.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that the body is a little weak, and the immune system and resistance of people are a little weak, but it will be fine with a few doses of medicine," Xiang Jin comforted her.

Her mother grabbed the hem of her clothes, with a look of guilt and self-blame, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault that I was too cowardly when I was at Lao Xiang's house, so that you lost your body there."

Xiang Jin comforted her and said, "Oh, it's all over! But it's good for you to know, so this person can't be too weak, because if he is weak, he will suffer!

You see, if you had been a little stronger back then, we wouldn't have had poor food and clothing for a whole year, and I wouldn't still be drinking this bitter medicine now! "

Yang Juyun's eyes turned red, and her voice was choked up, "I know, I know, Mom will never do that again!"

Looking at her like that, Xiang Jin frowned again, "Oh, look at you, I don't mean to blame you, I'm just telling you a truth, that is, good people are bullied by others, and good people are bullied by good people. Qi, of course, I’m not telling you not to be kind in the future? We still have to be kind, I mean we can’t be too cowardly, if someone dares to bully you, just fight back!”

Yang Juyun nodded persistently, "I know, I know!"

"Okay, you go quickly. Besides, I won't go to Aunt Liao's house for dinner in the evening, because I am taking tonic, and I can't eat too greasy food. The deficiency will not be supplemented. If the supplement is too much, it will not be good for the body. It's a good thing, this has to be done step by step, so I'll just make some food at home later."

After Yang Juyun heard her say these words, not only did she not get any comfort in her heart, but she felt a little uncomfortable, so she nodded, "Okay, I get it!"

After Yang Juyun left, Xiang Jin took a look at the marinated pot first to see how the meat was marinated, and then sat in the stove and added a piece of firewood to it to let it burn slowly. Go to decoction!
Xiang Jin was sitting in front of the stove reading a book when Yan Chen walked in suddenly.

"Hey, why are you here?" Suddenly it was dark in front of him, and Xiang Jin raised his head, suddenly surprised for a moment.

Yan Chen raised the thermos bucket in his hand a little higher, and I'll help Aunt Liao deliver meals to you.

"Eh?" Xiang Jin was taken aback for another moment, then he was a little dumbfounded, and then got up, "I told my mother all the time, and told her to leave me alone."

Yan Chen asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"

"Well, I just ate, it may have been ten minutes, hey, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Yan Chen shook his head, "Not yet, they're still cooking, let me bring some dishes to you, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat them when you eat them at home."

"Aunt Liao is so polite, what delicious food does she cook?"

"Open it and see if you don't know."

Yan Chen handed her the thermos, Xiang Jin took it, and opened it, and found that there were dried celery, fried pork liver with coriander, and pea meatball soup.

"Wow, it smells so good! Aunt Liao also planted celery?" This surprised her a bit.

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, it is said that she can sell celery for two yuan a catty. The business is very hot. Every day, the people who come to collect vegetables are rushing to get this vegetable. She doesn't grow cabbages or ladles now. There are a few vegetables, all of which are used to grow celery."

"Really? I think Aunt Liao is quite economical."

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, that's true!"

"Hey, does your grandfather grow celery?"

Yan Chen shook his head, "My grandfather and the others didn't grow celery, they are trying to grow mushrooms."

"Huh? Growing mushrooms? Grandpa Zeng and the others all know how to grow mushrooms?" Xiang Jin was surprised.

Yan Chen smiled and said, "He has been reading books on agriculture since he planted vegetables in greenhouses, and Han Che even sent several of those books to him by mail. He studies them every day when he has nothing to do. Last time he asked my uncle They mailed him some mushroom seeds."

Suddenly, Xiang Jin became interested, "Oh, by the way, I heard that your uncle and your aunt are scientists, what kind of research are they engaged in?" But soon she regretted it, "Oh, did I Shouldn’t you be asking? I heard that science is kept secret.”

Yan Chen said, "My uncle and aunt have nothing to keep secret. One of them is engaged in the research of humanities, and the other is engaged in the research of animals and plants."

"Which of the two of them is engaged in humanities research? Which one is engaged in animal and plant research?" Xiang Jin asked again.

"My uncle is engaged in the research of the humanities, and my aunt is engaged in the research of the theory of animals and plants."

"The difference between the two is a bit big? It's not clear. Were your uncle and your aunt classmates before? If not, how did you know each other?" Xiang Jin was curious.

Yan Chen just laughed, "They are not classmates, they also met by accident, my uncle is mainly engaged in the research of linguistics and history, and linguistics is mainly engaged in the research of minority languages.

Once, my uncle and two of his colleagues were doing research in an ethnic minority area, and then met my aunt and the others who were also studying two rare plants in that area, and they all happened to live in At that time, there was a farmer's house at the foot of the mountain. They went in and out every day, and they didn't see them when they looked up. Later, they got to know each other.

My uncle also had a fun way of speaking, and gradually got to know each other, and then they left each other's contact information. At that time, the contact information was usually the address of the unit, and then I saw that they were all in the same The cities are not very far apart, so the two of them contact each other more frequently, chatting about work, ideals, and life, and just like that, they slowly come together. "

"Oh, so that's what happened, I understand," Xiang Jin nodded, and then his eyes became excited, "Oh, you said that your uncle studies history, so does he also know how to do archaeology? "If that's the case, then she can ask him to help identify the incense burner locked in the box.

Seeing her starry eyes looking at him, Yan Chen frowned, "Why are you asking this?"

"Oh, just say he will? I'm just curious!"

Yan Chen looked at him half-believingly for a while, then shook his head, "I don't know, but it seems like they will have a cooperative relationship with the Institute of Archeology."

Xiang Jin nodded, and at the same time, he was thinking in his heart, if this is the case, that's fine, then he also knows experts in this field, and it shouldn't be a problem to ask him to help introduce one, then she will come Then there is no fear of being deceived.

Thinking of this, Xiang Jin raised the corners of his lips again, and then said to him, "The meal at Aunt Liao's house is probably almost ready, you should go back to eat, don't keep everyone waiting, winter is coming, the food It's going to be cold."

Yan Chen always felt that her reaction just now was a bit strange, but she didn't want to say it, and he didn't ask her any more, and he agreed after taking a deep look at her.

"Ok!"

After Yan Chen left, Xiang Jin put another piece of firewood in the pot, and then went back to her own room. Then she closed the curtains, opened her box, and took out the tightly wrapped small incense burner and looked at it carefully. Look, she feels more and more that this thing of hers is a real thing.

But she is a little worried about putting this object here. In case there is no one at home one day, Hucai and Ah Hua also stroll out, and someone strolls in, and take this thing with the box and lock for her to run away What should I do?
The more Xiang Jin thought about it, the more she felt that she still had to find a place to hide this thing, but she looked around the house and couldn't find any place to hide it, and there was no secret room or secret passage in their house.

Chamber of Secrets?

Alas, by the way, Xiang Jin had a sudden inspiration. There is no secret room and secret passage, she can dig one. Thinking of this, she began to search the house again. Where should she dig this secret passage?

In the end, she looked left and right, probed again, and finally decided that it is better to dig this secret passage under the bed. First, this place is hidden, and ordinary people will not look for things under the bed when they come in. Second, she just discovered , there is a bluestone slab that seems not to be stuck flat, and one corner is warped, which is convenient for her to start her work. Then she can dig a hole under the bluestone slab, and it doesn’t matter how big the hole is. As long as it can hold the incense burner, it will be fine.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiang Jin's mouth turned up, and then he went to the small house next to the sundries to get a triangular knife specially used for prying vegetable seedlings and digging herbs, and then prepared two slightly larger plastic knives. The bag was in the room, and she planned to move the bed and dig out the hole after everyone went back to the house to rest at night.

When the door is closed, no one will know that she has hidden such a thing in the house without anyone noticing. The more she thinks about it, the more she thinks her idea is perfect!Then the arc of the corner of her mouth became bigger and bigger.

It was night, Xiang Jin had dinner, and then waited for her mothers to come back, so she washed up early and went back to the house on the grounds of reading and studying.

After locking the door and drawing the curtains, she quickly moved the bed a little, then carefully pried up the raised bluestone slab with the seedling knife and put it aside, and then used the Little by little, the seedling knife began to dig the soil below.

But the soil is really hard. It was squeezed tightly by the masters who walked the foundation, just like a stone. After digging for about half an hour, she only dug one that was slightly bigger than her fist. Small pit.

According to this degree of hardness, how long will she have to dig tonight before she can put the small stove in?Xiang Jin was thinking while putting the peeled off soil into the plastic bag.

Suddenly she thought that there seemed to be some water in her water glass, so she got up and brought the water glass over, then poured some water around the soil, and waited a while for all the water to penetrate After reaching the soil, she took the seedling knife and started digging. Alas, not to mention, it would be much easier to dig like this. When she went down with the knife, a large piece of soil was pried off.

After finding the direction, the corners of Xiang Jin's mouth raised up, and then she poured water several times in this way repeatedly. In the end, it took almost two hours, and she dug out a pothole that had begun to take shape. After resting for more than half an hour, a square pothole was just fixed by her.

However, to make this pothole more refined and tidy, it is still necessary to put a layer of cement on its bottom and four wall plans, but it is not done now, because their house has no cement at present, and after the cement is applied If not, the pothole needs to be opened again, otherwise the humidity inside will be very heavy, which will not be conducive to the preservation of her objects.

But tomorrow she will go to school again, and she will not come back until two weeks after this trip. She will be painted and opened there, what if her family sees her?So she is not at ease, so let's wait until after her winter vacation to get this matter done, and then she will see how she can get some cement back.

After finishing the pothole, Xiang Jin rested the warped corner of the bluestone slab, and then tried to cover it up again, well, it fit perfectly, perfect!
She opened the bluestone slab again, then took the small stove out of the box, put it in the pit again, then covered the bluestone slab again, and then put the scattered soil around it After the debris was cleaned up and the bed returned to its original position, Xiang Jin felt at ease.

Looking at the hands again, oh, it's full of mud. Xiang Jin opened the door to wash her hands, but she was stopped by her mother when she walked halfway, "Xiang Jin, why are you still awake so late?"

Xiang Jin turned around, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Her mother greeted her, "It's cold, don't stay up too late, go to bed early."

"Oh, I see, Mom, why aren't you still asleep?"

"I'm thirsty, get up and drink some water."

Only then did Xiang Jin remember that she had to avoid cold and cold water, and had to wash hands in hot water, so she said to her mother, "Mom, please pour me some hot water in the washbasin, I'll wait handwashing."

"Okay, you go first, I'll pour it later!"

"it is good!"

Xiang Jin stayed in the bathroom symbolically for a while, and then when she heard her mother pouring water into the sink, she opened the door of the bathroom and walked out. Her mother said to her, "Pour the water Now, go to bed after washing your hands, don't study anymore, huh?!" After she finished speaking, she went back to the room with a water glass.

"Oh, got it!" Xiang Jin walked over to wash his hands.

After washing his hands, in order not to make them suspicious, Xiang Jin directly opened the door of their house, and then poured the water into the vegetable field outside.

The next morning, Xiang Jin slept in again. When she got up, except for a few dogs running in and out from time to time, there was still no one in the house.

Xiang Jin felt a burst of joy in her heart. It just so happened that she could take advantage of this gap to take the two bags of soil dug out last night outside and dump it out.

As soon as she poured the soil into the field, and then poured a basin of water on the soil, Xiang Lan's voice sounded from behind her, "Sister, are you up?!"

Xiang Jin trembled and was taken aback. She turned around and stared at her displeasedly, "Oh, you scared me to death. Where did you come from?"

Xiang Lan said, "Why are you so timid? I haven't seen you being timid before?!"

Xiang Jin gave her an annoyed sideways glance, "It's early in the morning, you're not at home, where did you go?"

Xiang Lan said, "Mom said you studied late last night and told me not to disturb your rest and let you sleep more. I was bored so I went to Xiang Yao to dance with rubber bands for a while."

"Then why are you back now?"

Xiang Lan mumbled and said, "It's not because of you. Grandpa went to the field to pick vegetables, and Mom went to the street again. I'm afraid that no one will wake you up, so you will just fall asleep and sleep, and then you will be hungry." What should we do when we arrive? So I will come back and call you!"

Hearing her words, Xiang Jin's heart softened, and then he stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, "It's a good thing my sister doesn't love you for nothing, what are you having for breakfast?"

"Porridge with corn buns and stir-fried vegetables, but Mom told you to drink the medicine first. The medicine is fried for you and warmed in the small pot on top."

"understood!"
