Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 301
How much is 58 cash!
A stack of ten thousand, ten stacks in a large bundle, and five bundles of brand new red pages are placed on the counter.

I have never seen so much money in my life, Dakui and the others felt a little regretful when they were excited.

I thought that more than 50 yuan was a lot, and this time I brought more than a dozen bags of urea, but now it seems that half a bag is enough.

After counting more than ten times, the banknote detector was about to smoke, and Chun Chun said to Li Hongbing, "Uncle Hongbing, the number is correct."

"The remaining 8000 yuan is exchanged with Director Zhao for some change, so as not to go back to the village to share the money and waste money for dime money." Li Hongbing reminded.

As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly, not to mention villagers who care about everything, sometimes they can quarrel for a long time or even fight for a dollar or a dime.

"Uncle Hong Soldier is still thoughtful, I have ready-made change." Zhao Hua flattered and called Chunsheng to change the change.

Walking out of the credit union with the money, Dakui and the others surrounded Li Hongbing tightly, scaring away passers-by who approached with fierce eyes.

……

At this time, the new rice field at the entrance of the village is full of fireworks.

Early in the morning, the broadcast sounded in the village. The village head Li Huaizhong announced on the broadcast that at noon today, the rice farm will distribute dividends and money. The village committee will pay for the banquet and ask the villagers to move their tables and chairs to the rice farm. The wives rushed to help .

Dividends and money.

Do big seats.

Hearing that money was to be distributed, the peaceful and peaceful mountain village suddenly boiled.

The men picked up the Eight Immortals table at home, and the chairs hurried out, and the women happily followed behind.

From the beginning of the construction of Caogou Village, only money was paid upwards, and there was never a talk about sending money downwards.

Unexpectedly, after the village congress was held, the money could be obtained so quickly.

Villagers gathered in the new rice field from the alleys extending in all directions.

Three pigs and five sheep were tied under the persimmon tree with ropes, and more than 20 reed chickens were thrown on the ground with their feet tied, with baskets of juicy vegetables next to them.

Mother!

The village committee is really willing to let the blood out, so much meat.

The villagers couldn't believe it.

"What are you doing in a daze, Li Hongqi, you guys help Shaved Uncle kill pigs and sheep. Uncle Yandai leads people to cook and set up the stove, while the women clean up the dishes and arrange the dishes and chopsticks." After Li Huaizhong arranged for the men to work, They also arranged for the women, "Hurry up and wash the dishes. I just received a call from the Red Soldier, and I will be back at noon."

All the pigs are fed in the countryside. The pigs mainly feed on wild grasses, vegetable stems and leaves plus rice bran, rice washing water, shabu-shabu water, etc., absolutely zero pollution and zero additives.

Because of this, native pigs also grow slowly and small, usually around [-] to [-] catties, and the big ones are only [-] catties. I have never seen native pigs weighing more than [-] catties.

Unlike now, pigs fed on feed can easily weigh three to four hundred catties or even five or six hundred catties.

Moreover, the soil pig is not small in weight, but it has a lot of strength. It takes three or five people to hold a soil pig.

The pig butcher in Caogou Village is an uncle who shaves his head. Originally, the uncle who shaved his head was called a butcher. Later, when there was no pig slaughter in that era, he switched to shaving his head.

Taking out the pig-killing tools handed down in his family, the uncle who shaved his head didn't expect to use them one day, so he arranged Li Hongqi and four people to work with emotion afterward.

"Go and tie up the pig and put it on the table."

Perhaps he already felt that today was the deadline for pigs to end their lives. As soon as Li Hongqi and his youngsters approached, the pigs felt like they were on the verge of a formidable enemy.

"Hong Qi, your father's pig is quite vicious, what's the matter?" Xiucai looked at the struggling and screaming native pig, a little afraid to do anything.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Li Hongqi looked nonchalant, "For fear of asking, Victory hooked the pig's head with a nail."

"Why don't you hook the pig's head and let Jianjun go." Shengli was also afraid of being bitten by a pig.

"I won't go." Jianjun shook his head guiltily.

A few years ago, a family in Shilipu slaughtered a pig. They didn’t want to hook the pig’s head, but the pig bit off three fingers. They were sent to the hospital and the doctor said that the fingers were contaminated by the pig’s teeth and couldn’t be connected. Finally, they became disabled.

"Tell me what you can do, you don't even dare to handle a pig." Li Hongqi complained angrily, rolled up his sleeves and asked the shaved uncle who was waiting for the knife, "Uncle, what should I do, why don't you go Hook the pig's head!"

"!!!" Uncle Shaved was speechless, wishing he could kill these four useless youngsters with a butcher's knife.

Let the old man hook the pig's head at this age, you want to have a feast, right!
At this moment, the fighting dogs brought by the four of Li Hongqi rushed out, surrounded the pig, and barked, driving the pig to a corner. Among them, the talented Caucasian shepherd dog slammed into the pig from the side and knocked the pig Knocked down, the other three fighting dogs rushed up, biting the leg, biting the leg, and locking the throat.

"Li Hongniu, good job."

"Scholar Zhang, what a dog."

"Wang Jianshe, my baby."

"Luo Shengzhan, hold it down."

After the four unlucky people each praised their dog, they took a rope and a hook and went forward to tie the limbs of the soil pig and hook the pig's head.

The shaving uncle who was watching the excitement shook his head when he heard the dog's name, and secretly felt sorry for the old brother who had left early, why did these incomprehensible bastards appear at home.

The four of them lifted the pig off the ground with all their strength, pulled it hard, and pulled it to the front of the hardwood table amidst the pig's loud roar.

"One, two, three", the four of them exerted their strength at the same time, knocking down the pig weighing more than a hundred catties on the table, while the pig was howling desperately, stretching its hooves and kicking wildly.

"Uncle Shaved, don't watch the excitement, hurry up and do it." Li Hongqi shouted loudly.

Shaved Uncle covered the pig's mouth with his left hand, freed his right hand, and quickly took out a sharp knife that had been prepared and gleamed coldly, aimed at the key position of the neck, and stabbed it.

A basin of warm salt water was placed under the pig's neck, and the moment the knife was pulled out, the pig's blood spurted out from the wound and fell into the basin, and someone next to it held a spoon and kept stirring to prevent the pig's blood from coagulating in advance.

"Let's shave!" Uncle Shaved looked at the dead pig.

The four people carried the dead pig and put it into a large wooden bucket specially used for scalding pigs, and scooped up hot water to evenly soak all parts of the pig.

As the saying goes, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Uncle Shaved the head tried to pull the pig hair a few times with his hands, and he thought it was ok.

The four of them, Li Hongqi, each with an iron plane, "squeaked all the details" and swiftly ruffled the hairs of the pigs.

After the shave is clean, put two poles across the large wooden barrel, lift the dead pig onto the poles, and the uncle who shaved his head cut a small opening in each of the pig's hind legs, and then used the long iron rod to pass through the dead pig. The small hole poked hard at the pig.

Puffing up his cheeks, the Shaved Uncle pointed his mouth at the small opening and blew air desperately. Li Hongqi and the others also actively cooperated, taking a pole and hammering hard on the pig's body, so that the air blown by the Shaved Uncle spread evenly in the whole body of the pig.

As the pig's body swelled little by little, it didn't take long to turn into a plump, snow-white pig.

After the dead pig was blown into a big fat man, some fluff that was not shaved in front was exposed. Uncle Shaved shaved off the fine fluff again. Four people picked up the whole pig and hung it on the meat hook of the persimmon tree, so that Uncle Shaved could divide it easily. .

Shaved Uncle cuts the knife from the spine of the buttocks, cuts open the belly, revealing a cavity of pork belly, liver and intestines, waits for the pig to enter the water, then gently cuts the tendons with the knife, and with a bang, the steaming pig's water flows to the ground Already placed in the pot.

"This meat is really good!" Looking at the palm-wide white fat, the younger generations swallowed their saliva greedily.

The local pork that really eats grass and food is this kind of thick fat and less lean meat. It tastes delicious without fishy smell. Now the improved pigs are fed with feed and medicine, and the skin is full of lean meat. Tasteless.

Pigs are being killed here, while Uncle Mifu is leading people to kill sheep. Killing sheep is much simpler, bloodletting, skinning and disembowelling.

The women were not idle either.

Gathering together to wash and choose vegetables, Shan Xing sat in seat C, surrounded by a group of old sister-in-laws, and entered the driving time according to the procedure.

"Myolie, what are you eating? Look at your hands and face are as juicy as tofu."

"That goes without saying, it must be Uncle Hong Soldier's treasure."

"That's right, when you didn't see Shan Xing coming, you felt dizzy when you walked."

"Shan Xing is lucky, my son snores as soon as he falls on the bed, like a dead pig."

"You discuss it with Shan Xing, borrow it from Uncle Hongbing for a few days, and return it when you're full."

"I'm going to die. If you want to borrow, let's borrow together. There are so many people."

Shan Xing listened to the teasing of her sisters-in-law around her, and she was not angry or shy, and said with a generous smile, "Okay, anyone who wants to borrow it can take it home. Let's say yes first, and don't blame me if you are full."

overeat?

Can this be enough?
A group of old women froze for a moment, and the atmosphere became more heated in an instant, asking what it was like to eat full.

The new rice field is bustling with noise.

The loudspeaker hanging on the old persimmon tree played a long and joyful song.

A number of old battered Eight Immortals tables are placed in the open air, bare-faced children are laughing and running among the tables and chairs, piles of vegetables are placed on the side of the rice field, and the old people are sitting on the edge smoking dry cigarettes, laughing and chatting .

Four or five cauldrons set up temporarily beside the rice field were steaming, and Uncle Yandai was wearing an apron and holding a shovel in his hand, shouting loudly at the men and women working.

"Prepare the dishes!"

This voice is to tell the cook that the old cook is about to start cooking, so hurry up and bring over the prepared dishes.

Rural people don't pay much attention to banquets. They invite "old cooks" who are recognized as delicious dishes in the village. They cook the most common home-cooked dishes as soon as the big stove is heated.

"Here we come!" Shan Xing walked ahead holding a basket of vegetables, followed by her sisters-in-law, who placed them in the vegetable area of ​​the stove.

Several people from Li Hongqi also put the cut pork and mutton in the meat section.

Next came the other helpers, who cut and divided the dishes according to the requirements of the old cook.

By the time plates of fragrant and steaming dishes are served on the table, the sun has already risen overhead.

The children looked at the meat and vegetables on the table anxiously, waiting anxiously for the dinner to begin.

The adults looked up at the entrance of the village from time to time, wondering why they hadn't come back yet.

Li Sanqing appeared at the entrance of the village out of breath, looking at the villagers on the rice field, exhausting all his strength.

"He and they are back!!!"

Whoa!

Everyone put down their work, rushed to the entrance of the village like a swarm, stretched their necks and looked into the distance.

A three bungee appeared in everyone's sight, from far to near.

"Look, people from the village have picked us up." Dakui stood up from the carriage and waved loudly, and the others in the carriage waved their arms too.

Affected by emotions, Li Hongbing stepped up the accelerator, and the three jumpers roared to speed up.

When he came to the entrance of the village, Sanbangzi was surrounded by the villagers. Facing the fiery eyes, Dakui excitedly raised the urea bag.

"Money, get it back!"

boom!
The entrance of the entire village was like thunder, and everyone cheered and shot straight into the sky.

Li Huaizhong squeezed to the side of Sanbangzi with difficulty, and shouted loudly to the villagers who greeted him, "Don't surround yourself, go back to work, and give out money while eating, hurry up for a basket."

On the stage table, five large bundles of red pages attracted everyone's attention, but the wine and food on the table were not so attractive.

Li Hongbing found a large wooden bucket for scalding pigs, filled it with half a bucket of water, and asked Li Hongqi to pour the three bags of flower seeds in the car into the bucket.

"Brother, what kind of seed are you?" Xiucai asked curiously.

"Flower seeds, give some to each family when the money is collected, take it back and plant some in front of the house, it can repel mosquitoes and insects." Li Hongbing stirred the seeds with a shovel, and secretly poured the original power into the bucket.

The dividend money is in place, the seeds are in place, and the banquet is in place.

The villagers sat in the seats in unison. According to the dining rules, the men sat at the same table and sat in the front, and the women and children sat at the back.

But this time, the money is divided, and the seats are not so particular. It is also convenient to divide the money by family seats.

"Hey, hey!" Li Huaizhong tried the microphone on the stage, looked at the villagers below the stage, and asked intentionally, "What day is it today? It's killing pigs and sheep."

"Send money." The villagers shouted.

"Fat lady!" Li Hongqi and the old bachelors made trouble on purpose, causing the other villagers to roar with laughter.

Li Huaizhong glared at those troublemakers, showing his teeth, "Yes, it's the day of giving out money. Our life in Caogou Village is getting better. From now on, we will have a big banquet at this time every year, drinking and eating meat to give out money, okay no."

"Okay!" These words pierced the hearts of the villagers, and they shouted in unison.

Li Huaizhong raised his hand and pressed it, pointing to the money on the table, "I won't talk nonsense, today we all want to thank the Red Soldier, and let the Red Soldier distribute money to everyone."

I!
Li Hongbing, who was sitting on the seat eating braised pork secretly, was called out suddenly, a mouthful of meat was stuck in his mouth, and he swallowed the meat with the help of Shan Xing.

"Uncle Red Soldier, send money. Uncle Red Soldier, send money!"

Under the yelling of the villagers, Li Hongbing walked onto the stage with a wry smile, looking helplessly at Uncle Huaizhong who was driving the donkey to the shelves.

"It's okay, just read the names in the meeting, and Chunsheng will count the money." Li Huaizhong handed out a list and explained in a low voice.

The matter of distributing money should be done by the village chief, but Li Huaizhong doesn't think so. In a few days, he will go to the town to take up a post, and the position of village chief will be handed over to others. The village head, others will not accept whoever did it.

"Okay!" Li Hongbing took the list, picked up the microphone, and looked at the audience with a smile, "No one has any objections to my payment!"

"No objection, you are the village tyrant of Caogou Village, who dares to object."

"What a village bully, Uncle Red Soldier is now Li Shaxing in the forest area. The little boy is so noisy in the middle of the night that he can't sleep. As soon as he calls Li Shaxing to come, he immediately falls asleep."

"That's right, there are still people who put the clay statue of Uncle Red Soldier in the main room as an offering. It is said that it can ward off evil spirits."

"Yes, yes, but Shanxing promised to lend Uncle Hongbing to Shuangyan for a few days, Uncle Hongbing, do you want to do it?"

"You're going to die, why are you talking outside?"

What a mess, Li Hongbing glared at Shan Xing who dared not look up.

"Okay, if you want to borrow it from me, I'll come to you privately later. I'm sending out the money now, but I have something to say before I send out the money. I saw the wooden barrels under the stage. After receiving the money, each household will take a scoop of flower seeds back. Plant it in front of or behind the house."

"This kind of seed is a good thing. It can repel mosquitoes and insects. If anyone doesn't plant it, don't blame me for smashing your windows."
