The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 223 An unexpected surprise
The next morning, it was raining and snowing.

Jiang Cheng also left wearing thick clothes. During breakfast, he warned Zhou Lingying, asking her to stop hanging out with married women and avoid talking about issues between men and women.

He made it so that others couldn't unlock the moves, and Zhou Lingying even privately called him a pervert.

After Jiang Cheng left, Zhou Lingying ignored his words and started burning charcoal in the brazier at home. Usually, she would listen to the radio while sitting by the fire, but she found the radio boring, so she went outside to call her friends to play cards.

After this call, two people really came immediately, and both of them were pregnant. I was free so early in the morning, which also had something to do with the weather today. It was raining and snowing outside, so I basically didn't need to wash my clothes, and I couldn't dry them after washing them.

In fact, even if they have some housework to do, if other people come to ask them to go out and play, their husbands or parents-in-law may say something, but Zhou Lingying is different, her husband is a driver. The neighbors in the yard where she lives have gained a lot of benefits, and people outside the yard have spread the news.

So when Zhou Lingying invited them to her home to play cards or something, they would easily be called out, and even their families would urge them to go and play with Zhou Lingying.

Jiang Cheng didn't know that in just a few months, he had already spoiled his wife to the point of being very bold. When they first started dating, Jiang Cheng would often tell Zhou Lingying that he would beat people.

But at Liu Cui'e's house in the backyard, she and her husband fought twice during this period, and Zhou Lingying never saw Jiang Cheng actually hit her once.

Moreover, after being together for such a long time, Zhou Lingying also understood what kind of person Jiang Cheng was. When two people lived together, there were definitely times when they had different opinions. Jiang Cheng would reason with Zhou Lingying and express his views, but Zhou Lingying would not always agree with Jiang Cheng's views.

Even if the two of them had disagreements, Zhou Lingying found that as long as she wasn't too stubborn, or if she was really right, she wouldn't be unreasonable, Jiang Cheng was very easy to please.

So now Zhou Lingying is very immune to Jiang Cheng's "intimidation" and "threats".

After Jiang Cheng went out, he received the list at the company and immediately went to Guangzhou. In fact, other colleagues were unwilling to take the orders for converting foreign trade to domestic sales in Guangzhou.

Because in terms of distance, it is not as close as nearby Xiamen. In terms of urban prosperity, Guangzhou is not as good as Shanghai, Lianyungang, Qingdao and other places.

Guangzhou is not an industrial city now, but a supply base for Hong Kong. Because it is close to Hong Kong, many vegetables are exported from Guangzhou.

Captain Du was actually quite happy that Jiang Cheng was willing to go to Guangzhou. Others were rushing to go to Shanghai, where they bought a lot of local specialties.

In the evening of that day, Jiang Cheng arrived at the Lichuan County Reclamation Farm.

Because I have been in contact with Director Hou more, he is no longer polite after getting to know him. The key is that when Jiang Cheng comes here, he just makes two dishes to entertain him.

This may seem like a decline in hospitality, but in fact the relationship has really become closer. At least before, the guest followed the host's wishes, but now that Jiang Cheng came here, he had the nerve to ask for something to eat.

When Jiang Cheng arrived at the reclamation farm, he immediately went to the reception room, where there was a brazier with charcoal burning.

In the reception room, Jiang Cheng was holding a cloth bag, which was bulging with ten-yuan bills. Director Hou showed him a list of goods that were stored in the warehouse this time.

The food was still the same as usual. It was still a month before the Chinese New Year, and the weather was cold, so they had stopped raising piglets. Director Hou told Jiang Cheng that after the pork was taken away, it would take at least a few months before there would be more pork.

The remaining pigs on the farm here will have to prepare for the New Year, but there is no problem with other poultry. At least eggs can be artificially hatched in this era.

"Come on, now that you've finished your business, let's quickly come and have dinner. This time I specially asked someone to prepare some good food."

When Director Hou saw Jiang Cheng count the money for this list and put it on the table, he immediately pulled him to the dining table.

Director Hou had finished his meal. The weather was cold and everyone had eaten early. At most, he just drank a few sips with Jiang Cheng, chatted for a while, then counted the money and left.

There were two large pots of meat on the table. Even if Director Hou didn't eat, the two of them couldn't finish one of the pots. This was obviously to make Jiang Cheng "eat without paying".

Seeing Director Hou's mysterious look, Jiang Cheng knew that these two pots of meat were not simple. One pot had big bones, while the other pot was obviously different, with no big bones. Anyway, no matter what, he would eat it first.

Jiang Cheng first ate a small bone without making any sound. Then he took out a bone with a lot of meat from another bowl and chewed it in his hand, but still without making any sound. It was obviously not beef, mutton, or pork. But apart from these meats, Jiang Cheng couldn't taste anything else.

The key is that the meat on the big bone tastes weird. Jiang Cheng thinks it is not as good as beef bones. The small pieces of meat are stewed with a lot of seasonings and taste really good. Jiang Cheng has always known that the cooking skills of the chefs here are good.

"Director Hou, what kind of meat is this? I can't tell what it is." Jiang Cheng asked.

"I'll tell you after you finish eating the bones and meat in your hand. You eat first." Director Hou saw that Jiang Cheng couldn't tell the difference, so he kept him in suspense.

Jiang Cheng didn't think much about it, thinking that he might eat him to death, so he chatted with Director Hou while eating.

While Director Hou was eating, he also talked about some things at the reclamation farm.

The weather has turned cold, and people have been organized to reclaim wasteland. Jiang Cheng can plant the onions and ginger he wants on the reclaimed land next year.

They dug up some things during the land reclamation. Not to mention the hibernating snakes, which are not rare in this era. They dug up something with scales. This is what Jiang Cheng is eating now, and he thinks it tastes good.

When Jiang Cheng heard what Director Hou said, he quickly picked up two more pieces and put them in his mouth. He was one of the beasts who would spend a lot of time in prison in the future. Now that he could eat it, he naturally had to eat a few more pieces.

After talking about pangolins, Director Hou continued to tell Jiang Cheng about other things.

There are some counties nearby Lichuan, and the surrounding areas are all forested, so there used to be many hunters. Hunters hunt mostly in autumn and winter.

Because in autumn and winter, the grass withers and cannot cover the tracks of animals. Especially when it snows, the footprints on the snow make it easier to hunt prey.

There is a militia team at the reclamation farm. A few days ago, they organized people to go into the mountains to hunt, and they caught a big bounty.

Jiang Cheng thought it was normal that the taste was not very good, because this thing was recorded in "Qianjin·Food Therapy" and tasted sour. This means that the taste of this meat itself is a little sour, and it is indeed not as delicious as beef and pork.

"Director Hou, this is a tiger. Are you going to eat it just like this after catching it?" Jiang Cheng asked in shock.

"Why not eat it? The farm is not short of money. The money from the sales should be put into the public account, and everyone will be satisfied after eating it." Director Hou said.

It was the same old story, a truth that Jiang Cheng had long understood. Many companies were unwilling to sell their products, and could only exchange them for benefits, and the money had to be handed over.

"Director Hou, do you still have the bones of this tiger?"

"A lot of things have been taken away by the people above. You have bones, but what do you want this for?"

"Make wine, tiger bone wine."

Jiang Cheng said this without hiding anything. When Director Hou heard this, he thought that Jiang Cheng was quite troublesome.

Director Hou said that he does not think tiger bone wine is precious. But in this era, there is such wine for sale, but the price is a bit expensive. And if you want to brew tiger bone wine yourself, you have to wait two or three years. The key is to find someone who can brew it. Tiger bone wine is a medicinal wine, which requires a lot of medicinal materials.

Jiang Cheng wanted bones, so Director Hou went to get them for him. But it was impossible to get a whole one now. I don't know how much would be wasted if it was stewed and eaten, at most less than half. At most, I could get a tiger later and leave the bones for him.

This time when he came to the reclamation farm, Jiang Cheng also got an unexpected surprise. But it was also because Director Hou deliberately didn't tell him what kind of meat it was at first, so Jiang Cheng ate a large piece. Later, when he heard that it was tiger meat, he ate another piece just for the name.

At night, Jiang Cheng felt very comfortable in his stomach and body. But tiger meat not only treats stomach deficiency, but also has an effect on yang deficiency. Jiang Cheng never felt that he had yang deficiency, because according to the length of time, he thought he was very powerful.

But after eating tiger meat, he really can't be allowed to see any holes at night.
