Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 211
Tian Cheng came to the south drying yard and saw several people working there in full swing. The villagers waiting for the meat division stood around the meat case. No one noticed Tian Cheng's arrival. Everyone was stretching their necks and watching the slaughter in the village. The young man wielding a big knife cuts up the pork there.

Tian Cheng stood on the periphery watching and pondering. Although the current life is no longer the life of lack of meat and food in previous years, it has not changed people's instinct for rich food. Today's meat food does not charge money, but is based on the purchase of shares. Even so, everyone is still waiting with different moods, hoping to get the ideal part, this is human instinct.

Just when Tian Cheng was thinking, Tian Shun who came out of the feed factory saw Tian Cheng who was standing at the side, and stepped forward: "Brother, I have made a list of the meat according to the proportion of the shares, would you like to see it? "

"Don't look at it, just try to satisfy the villagers!" According to the experience of dividing meat in the production team in the past years, it was an era when there was a shortage of meat and oil. In order to get meat made with cooking oil at home, what everyone wanted most This is the part of the stomach with suet, and after so many years, it has been quite different according to their own preferences, and this is why Tian Cheng proposed the idea of ​​satisfying the villagers.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about this matter. First, distribute according to the serial number of the lottery. If you are not satisfied, you can change it as needed. According to the principle of the masses first, party members last, and party members and cadres last!"

"This method is very shrewd. It seems that you don't need to learn ideas. Use your brain, and any good idea can come out of you!" Tian Cheng looked at Tianshun and praised.

"Didn't I learn this from you?"

"When did I teach you these tricks?"

The two brothers chatted and laughed quietly here, which had long been covered by the chirping of the crowd and the yelling of the sword dancers.

"Stop joking, let's talk about something serious!" Tian Cheng restrained his smile and said seriously.

"Why do you need to be so serious?"

"Before dividing the meat, please leave a piece of meat with suet!"

"How much to keep?"

"About ten catties!"

"What is it for?"

"You and Mu Jiaxing from the village committee sent it to Wang Sien, and just said that the village gave him holiday condolences!"

"Didn't you give him two hundred yuan as the stock capital of the feed factory? Why do you still want to give him meat?"

Tian Cheng didn't feel strange about Tianshun's question, so he explained: "Wang Sien's family is too poor, if the whole village eats meat, but he doesn't get it, wouldn't it be the same for Wang Sien's heart?"

Tianshun kept silent, nodded his head, and thought to himself: "The two hundred yuan share capital can only be regarded as Tiancheng's personal expression, and the meat now is the village's condolences to Wang Sien, one yard counts as one yard, how can they be mixed together? ?”

"We'll do this today. Don't wait for everyone to go home with the meat. The meat for condolences hasn't been delivered yet!" Tian Cheng said emphatically seeing that Tianshun didn't respond.

"Don't worry! I'll go find Mu Jiaxing now, and do as you say!"

Hearing Tianshun's straightforward agreement, Tian Cheng nodded in relief, turned around and walked towards the village.

Tianshun immediately shouted to Ma Hanbang who was busy slaughtering: "Hanbang, you pick the meat from your belly and cut ten catties of good meat for someone. I'll wait for it later!"

With a response of "Okay!", I saw Ma Hanbang raised his knife and cut a knife on half a piece of pork, and then cut it open, and then divided it into two parts, and then cut it down again, one piece was good The meat was cut off with the suet, put on the scale, and the weight was gently slid up to ten catties. This method made the onlookers scream "OK".

Tianshun found Mu Jiaxing from the crowd, and told Tiancheng's arrangement just now, Mu Jiaxing agreed without hesitation, such a good thing, for Mu Jiaxing, he would do it willingly, when Mu Xiangshu was the secretary in the early years Every time to express condolences, this person who usually behaves very quietly will always be the first to rush to the front. Mu Jiaxing also knows in his heart that this is also the time when he shows his face the most in a year.

Tianshun went into the house and found a thin rope, and handed it to Mu Jiaxing: "Tie the meat and put it on!"

Mu Jiaxing brought up the meat, and followed Tianshun out of the crowd. They couldn't hear what the people were chattering about, but heard a low voice saying: "The two of them took the meat to worship the gods!"

Hearing the word of God, everyone suddenly stopped clamoring, as if to show their respect for the gods.Everyone knew in their hearts that they must respect the gods during this festival, otherwise they would be punished, especially a strange incident that was popular in the village last year, which still makes people linger in fear.

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation. There is a custom of "over-oiling" in the countryside. Literally, it means that the more oily the day, the better the life. The actual operation is to squeeze some balls, hemp board, Oil-pressed foods such as lotus root clips and salted fish are prepared for Chinese New Year.Originally, it was just heating oil and squeezing something, such a simple thing, almost every family can do it.However, it is very unusual for the family to "grow oil" during the festival. According to the elderly, during this period, no strangers who visit the house should come in, otherwise it will be difficult to squeeze them out. In addition, children are not allowed to approach, because they are afraid that children will talk too much. It angered Lord Stove. Although it was a superstition, a strange thing really happened.

This strange incident happened at the home of Ma Hanping in the village. Ma Hanping is one of the most experienced "oil-cooking" masters in the village. When he "cooked oil" last year, he had just squeezed out the first pot. His five-year-old son went to the kitchen to get the squeezed oil. When the meatballs were ready, he saw half a pot of oil in the pot and casually said "so much oil". If this was normal, no one would pay attention to it. As soon as the child said that, Ma Hanping was shocked, and suddenly found that there was a lot of oil in the pot. The hot oil in the pot suddenly went crazy and foamed upwards. The burner quickly stopped the fire at the bottom of the stove. Ma Hanping immediately lifted the oil with a spoon to stop the boiling, but he still couldn’t stop the oil in the pot from tumbling upwards. Ma Hanping was dumbfounded when he looked at the oil turned up and down on the stove, so he had to borrow oil from a neighbor's house. Unexpectedly, the news went away and became a holiday festival last year. The most mysterious topic of street talk in Shicun.

Now someone mentions worshiping the gods, and everyone immediately shows extreme fear and respect. There is no words, only the "rustling" sound of the butcher shaving.

Tianshun and Mu Jiaxing ignored everyone's changes and hurried to the north of the village.

When Tianshun and Mu Jiaxing saw Wang Sien, Wang Sien asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

"This is Secretary Tian Cheng who asked us to come and give you pork to wish you a happy New Year! Let your family have a peaceful New Year!" Tianshun said looking at Wang Sien's open-mouthed face.

"Tian Cheng is such a kind person! He sent us two hundred yuan just now, and now he is sending us New Year's meat. He is really a blessing to the whole village!" Wang Sien said with emotion.

"Why, Brother Tiancheng came to your place just now?" Tianshun felt a little inconceivable.

"Yes, he sent me two hundred yuan, saying that in this village, if he can eat good food, he will let me eat good food. He just left, so you sent me meat again. He is really a good secretary of our village!"

Mu Jiaxing was also a little surprised when he heard that Tian Cheng sent money. At the meeting, Tian Cheng didn't mention the matter of sending New Year gifts to poor families in the village. How could he do such a good thing by himself?In front of Wang Sien, Mu Jiaxing didn't have the nerve to say it.

When Tianshun and Mu Jiaxing came out from Wang Sien's house, Mu Jiaxing asked Tianshun, "You said that Tiancheng is sending money this day, but we are sending meat here, why don't we both bring it together?"

"The two hundred yuan he sent was not village money, it must have been paid for by himself!" Tianshun said with certainty.

"How could it be?" Mu Jiaxing asked with some doubts.

"Don't forget, I'm the accountant of the village, and I know the money spent in the village the most. What's more, in order for Wang Sien to share the dividends of the feed factory with everyone, Brother Tiancheng took out two hundred yuan from the money he invested in the stock. Let's count Wang Sien's shares, and let Wang Sien enjoy the two hundred yuan bonus!" Tianshun said a little excitedly.

"Is there such a thing?" Mu Jiaxing became even more puzzled.

"It can be fake, I can't lie to you, if you don't believe me, you can ask the two people who checked the account with me!"

"Look, I still don't trust you, so I'm still a person? It seems that Tian Chengzhen is different from others. He pretends to be the whole village, not himself!" Mu Jiaxing was a little embarrassed.

"Our old secretary saw the right person. He chose a good leader for us. Our little Wangzhuang is really going to be famous!" Before Tianshun could speak, Mu Jiaxing said in a very sure tone.

"That's for sure. I guess the good show has just begun, and the real good things are yet to come!"

Tianshun's words made Mu Jiaxing a little excited, and then responded: "I believe Tiancheng can do something big!"

"That's for sure, just relying on his dedication to the public will make us rich as well!"

Mu Jiaxing looked at Tianshun's expression and smiled knowingly.

The steps of the two became more firm and powerful in an instant.
