Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 291

Before Gao Mingcheng returned to the village, the villagers cried and scolded every day in the destroyed vegetable field. After Gao Mingcheng came back, the whole Gaojia Village was filled with the smell of meat, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

The meat in winter is not afraid of spoilage. If you can’t finish it, you can also salt it and make it into wind-blown meat.

In some places, it is eaten as smoked meat, which is more fragrant, but people in Gaojia Village generally think that it is unhealthy, so they choose to make it into wind-blown meat.

Wind-blown meat is more convenient than smoked meat. Cut the meat into pieces, marinate, tie a rope and hang it in a cool and ventilated place, and then wait for the meat to dry.

Not counting the first wild boar killed, Gao Mingcheng killed another eight wild boars in the mountains afterward. back.

With such a killer like him entering the mountain, the wild boars were so frightened that they ran away when they saw anyone, and they didn't go down the mountain for two days.

Since there is too much meat to eat, Gao Mingcheng is also very generous. He sent ten catties of meat to his parents' house, Grandma Xi's house, Gao Shouwang's house, and Zhang Chengyuan's house. two catties.In addition, they took out some pig offal and pig bones that could not be eaten and gave them to poor households in the village, such as the fool's family.

Under his care, every household in the village was wiped out.

A large amount of meat needs to be processed urgently, but people cannot keep all the meat at home when people are not at home, so Gao Mingcheng hung some meat in the utility room. The meat was cut into strips and hung on wooden beams without salt, for Food for two dogs.

Two dogs can jump onto a wooden frame, then look up and be able to bite off a piece of jerky.

As for the remaining meat, he had to take it to the county for disposal.

At that time, I still need to give some of it to others. Gao Guobing's family will give more, Xiao Jinfeng's family will also send some, and Gao Mingli, who lives alone, will also send a few catties.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Mingcheng drove a tractor to the county. On the tractor's bed, there were piles full of meat, vegetables and eggs, but because they were covered with oilcloth , so people who don't know it won't guess what it is.

Everyone in the village knew that he had killed several wild boars, but no one knew how many wild boars they had, because Gao Mingcheng always went into the mountains alone to hunt with two dogs. After arriving at the wild boar, I carried it home without anyone seeing it.

Although everyone envied Gao Mingcheng, but because of Gao Mingcheng, not only did he have meat to eat, but the wild boar was too scared to go down the mountain to steal it, which was considered to be a lot of benefits.

When passing by the clothing workshop in Xing'an Mountains, Gao Mingcheng got out of the car and took a large bag of vests and put them in the car bucket. He said to Gao Shouwang that he will pay the bill next time, and then he continued to drive away.

When he arrived at Junling, Gao Mingcheng parked the tractor on the side of the road again, and decided to send a few catties of meat to Huang Dazhi's family.

Huang Dazhi had money in his pocket, but the source of the money was not right, so he didn't dare to spend it. Although life at home was better than before, it was just that.

Gao Mingcheng sent a few catties of fatter pork belly over. Huang's father and mother Huang were very grateful. They wanted to let Gao Mingcheng come in for tea, but Gao Mingcheng refused, waved his hand and left.

Heading all the way to the county, he parked the tractor directly in the alley of his backyard, and then took out the key to open the door.

He took most of the meat and all kinds of vegetables, eggs, and vests from the village out of the car, temporarily stacked them in the backyard, and then called many beauty to deal with them.

It just so happened that the business in the store was not busy at this time, and after hearing the voice, Many Mei trotted over.

When she saw a table of meat, her eyes widened.

She knew that Gao Mingcheng had gone back to the village to hunt wild boars, and that Gao Mingcheng was good at hunting wild boars, but she was still shocked by the mountain of meat.

"This...how did you get so much meat?"

"I killed eight wild boars, and I gave some away, and I kept some for the Black Tiger Spirit. These are for my own food. You can see the arrangement. There are still some in the car, and those are for giving away." Gao Ming Cheng explained, and then said: "I may not go home for dinner tonight."

After speaking, he went out.

Duomei began to organize the pile of meat. In addition to the clean leg meat, ribs, suet, etc., there were also some good-tasting internal organs, such as heart, liver, tripe, and some hairy pig feet and two intact pig heads.

Although there is a sense of harvest, many beauties still feel the pressure to deal with it.

Although the weather is cold and the meat spoils slowly, she still has to deal with it quickly. She went around the kitchen and found three packs of salt, but these three packs of salt were far from enough!

So she could only go to the surrounding grocery store to buy salt, and then began to cut into pieces of bacon.

When marinating meat, I found that the pots at home were not enough.

"Hey." Duomei sighed happily, and hurriedly ran to buy a pot. After marinating all the meat, you can leave it alone for the time being.

Pig heart and liver do not need to be cleaned very much, but pig belly is more troublesome. In addition, pig feet and pig heads are not easy to clean. You have to burn the hair with fire and then scrape the skin with a knife.

In the front shop, there was the sound of Gao Shufang entertaining guests, and in the backyard, the sound of chopping meat was endless.

Here, Gao Mingcheng has already driven a tractor to the family courtyard of the police station.

At this point in time, it was already time to get off work. Even if Gao Guobing was not at home, Zhao Dongmei should be at home.

The new house of Gao Guobing's family has already been renovated, but they have not moved for a long time, because they live in the family courtyard, which is more convenient for work. They are expected to move before Gao Hong returns home to visit relatives.

When Gao Mingcheng passed by, Zhao Dongmei was indeed at home, choosing vegetables and chatting with neighbors, seeing Gao Mingcheng coming, Zhao Dongmei was quite happy and said: "Mingcheng, you are very busy now, I haven't seen you for a long time is you."

"I heard that wild boars in the village went down the mountain to steal vegetables. How is it now? Is the loss serious?"

"Auntie." Gao Mingcheng greeted people first, and then said: "The loss is still serious, but we have killed a few wild boars together, and it should be better in the short term. I brought you wild boar."

As he said that, he lifted a corner of the oilcloth on the truck bed, and took out a pig's foot from it. There was still a large piece of leg meat attached to the pig's foot, which weighed about thirty catties in total.

In addition, he took out another pig's head.

Pig ears and pig mouth strips are delicious. In addition, eating pig brains is also very nourishing. Chinese people pay attention to replenishing shape with shape. If the waist is uncomfortable, then eat pork kidneys to make up for it. If the heart is uncomfortable, then... Then eat the hedgehog's heart!

The kind that is swallowed alive!
At first, Gao Mingcheng didn't know that hedgehogs were full of treasures. When he met hedgehogs in the mountains, he didn't bother to catch them because he disliked the lack of meat. In the end, when he was racing outside, he learned from other people's mouths that he could swallow the hedgehog's heart alive. Cure heart disease!
Gao Mingcheng was skeptical about this, but some people believed it deeply. People with heart disease at home tried their best to catch hedgehogs in the mountains.

Hedgehogs are not easy to catch, and even if they are caught, they are not easy to kill. After killing them, they have to swallow the beating heart of the hedgehog alive. In fact, it is a challenge for family members and patients.

The thought that flashed through Gao Mingcheng's mind only lasted for a moment, because he took another pig's heart and handed it to Zhao Dongmei.

When Zhao Dongmei saw the wild boar meat he sent, her eyes lit up with surprise, and the smile on her face could hardly be contained.

As for the neighbors next door, they are even more envious.

"Ah, why did you send so many here?" Zhao Dongmei was both happy and puzzled.

"I got a lot of wild boars, so give more, auntie, if you can't finish them, you can salt them and make them into wind-blown meat to eat during the Chinese New Year." Gao Mingcheng said with a smile.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the Chinese New Year. Gao Yue will be back tomorrow! With him here, I won't be able to keep this little meat! When Gao Hong comes back, I'll go to the meat joint factory to buy it!" Zhao Dongmei said with a smile, because the things are too Many, Gao Mingcheng carried the pig's foot upside down in one hand and the pig's head in the other, and helped to send it upstairs.

Zhao Dongmei followed with a vegetable basket, and said, "Mingcheng, are you having dinner at home today? Your uncle also said last time that he hasn't eaten with you for a long time."

"Okay, but I have to send some meat to others, and I'll come back later." Gao Mingcheng was not polite to Zhao Dongmei, and if Zhao Dongmei wanted to stay, he would stay, because Zhao Dongmei has a bright and cheerful personality, not that kind A person who speaks false flattery.

Sure enough, the smile on Zhao Dongmei's face became even bigger, and she said, "That's ok, I'll cook first, and come over when you're done!"

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng responded and went downstairs.

He first sent a few catties of meat to Gao Mingli, and then came to the transportation company. Today, by chance, Xiao Jinfeng was also in the office. When he saw him delivering the meat, he immediately said, "Are you back to the village to hunt?"

"Yeah, but I was forced to. This year's weather is dry, and there is little food in the mountains. The wild boars are hungry and go down the mountain to eat vegetables. More than half of my vegetable field has entered the stomach of the wild boar. It eats my vegetables, so I have to eat them." It's flesh."

What Gao Mingcheng said was humorous, and Xiao Jinfeng was also amused.

What Gao Mingcheng gave Gao Guobing was the front leg, while what Xiao Jinfeng gave was the hind leg, the same pig's foot with a large piece of leg meat, and a pig's head.

The pig's heads were delicious, but it was too troublesome to make, so he only kept two for himself, and gave away all the rest.

"Let's have dinner here tonight, Ming Wan's car is expected to be back soon." Xiao Jinfeng invited.

But Gao Mingcheng refused, and said with a smile: "You are too late, I have to go to Guobing uncle's house for dinner tonight."

Xiao Jinfeng didn't dare to compete with Gao Guobing, so he smiled and stopped talking.

"By the way, I received a call from Fan Chengyao. He said thank you very much and hoped that you would spare time to help deliver his sports car in the future. I declined this for you, but he said that you would promise to help him in the next year." He will make another trip to help him send his son back to his grandparents." Xiao Jinfeng said, looking at Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng nodded, he did agree to this, but he only agreed for Fan Licheng's sake.

Fan Chengyao's business is not so clean, and he must have enemies. Although he is a daoist and pays attention to his family, sometimes it is not uncommon for him to attack the other party's wife and children in order to force the other party to submit.

Gao Mingcheng thought Fan Licheng was an interesting kid, and he was really reluctant to see him in danger.

Xiao Jinfeng smiled, as if he had guessed something, and said, "I just said that the child is very good! Didn't it cause you any trouble on the way?"

Gao Mingcheng said: "That's not true. I'll send him there and bring him back again. I feel at ease. By the way, Brother Xiao, do you know what kind of business that Boss Fan is in? If there are too many, I won't Having said that, I just want to say that next time you pick up his business, you must explain to the driver, no matter what the situation is, you must protect yourself, and at critical moments, you can abandon the car and run for your life."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinfeng raised his eyes to look at Gao Mingcheng, and found that his expression was very serious, it didn't look like he was joking at all.

He couldn't help but feel a little drummed in his heart, and asked, "Why do you say that? Could it be... Is there anything in the car that shouldn't be there?"

Xiao Jinfeng asked cryptically, and Gao Mingcheng answered even more cryptically: "Not sure, just a reminder."

He knew all the drivers of the transportation company, and they were former colleagues, so he didn't want any of them to get involved in right and wrong, and then encounter trouble.

Xiao Jinfeng pondered, and then recalled what Fan Chengyao said when he called him, and gradually had a guess in his heart.

"Okay, I see." Xiao Jinfeng said so, as for what he would do, Gao Mingcheng didn't know for the time being.

After delivering the wild pork, Gao Mingcheng didn't stay any longer, and after chatting for a few words, he said goodbye and left.

Xiao Jinfeng watched his leaving back, and looked down at the landline on the table.

But in the end, he still did not choose to make a call.

The goods from Fan Chengyao's side are delivered once a month, and it has just been delivered now, maybe next month, the situation will be different again.

There was some affection between them, so in the absence of conclusive evidence, Xiao Jinfeng didn't know what he was willing to do.

But Gao Mingcheng's reminder, he still has to pay attention to it, because he doesn't want his company's driver to have an accident.

When Gao Mingcheng returned to the family courtyard of the police station, Gao Guobing had already returned home.

Knowing that Gao Mingcheng sent wild boar, Gao Guobing called him over to talk.Of course, it's something that happened recently.

Then Gao Guobing said: "I plan to move the day after tomorrow, when you are free, come and help me!"

Gao Mingcheng immediately said, "Okay, I'm free anytime, and I'll come with a tractor!"

Gao Guobing laughed, because Tu Gao Mingcheng has a tractor, which is convenient for moving things.

He said: "Huang Dazhi has performed very well in the bureau, but the allocation of houses must be based on seniority. The reason why I moved in advance is because after I move out, new colleagues will move in. Their family My son is getting older, so it’s hard to sleep on the same bed with his parents anymore.”

Gao Mingcheng said: "It's good to follow the rules. As for Dazhi, I plan to lend him some money and let him buy a house outside. He is not young anymore, and it's time for him to marry a wife and have a baby."

Gao Guobing nodded in agreement.

Huang Dazhi is a newcomer, and he is still an assistant police officer. It is difficult for him to allocate housing. He can live in the current house because the house is too poor and others don't want it.

"What are you two talking about? We're ready to eat, come serve the food!" Zhao Dongmei's voice sounded from the kitchen, and Gao Guobing immediately stood up.

But Gao Mingcheng moved faster, and Gao Guobing went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes first.

After running around twice to finish serving the dishes, Gao Mingcheng said, "Auntie, come and sit down!"

"Okay, come on."

Gao Guobing also came over with a bottle of special wine. He didn't have to be on duty at night, so he could have a few drinks.Gao Mingcheng naturally drank with him, and even Zhao Dongmei drank half a cup.

Zhao Dongmei also knows how to drink, but her drinking capacity is average. Her favorite is sweet wine, which tastes sweet and has little stamina.

The meal was extremely sumptuous, Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei treated Gao Mingcheng like nephews, there was no estrangement between the three of them, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

An hour and a half later, Gao Mingcheng was ready to leave, full of wine and food.

"There are only two little girls at home, I have to go back and look at them earlier." He said.

Zhao Dongmei agreed very much, so she didn't force her to stay.

After saying goodbye to the two elders, Gao Mingcheng went downstairs alone.

But before he walked out of the family courtyard, he heard Huang Dazhi calling him.

In the dark corner, Huang Dazhi stood there quietly, saw Gao Mingcheng turn his head to look at him, and immediately whispered: "Mingcheng, come to my room."

Therefore, Huang Dazhi led Gao Mingcheng to the room where he lived. Since this room was not intended to be occupied at all, there was no wiring, and Huang Dazhi was lit by kerosene lamps.

A kerosene lamp was lit inside the room, and the light pierced the darkness of the room, but the surrounding area was still dark. With the light of the kerosene lamp, Huang Dazhi took out a strangely shaped jade pendant and handed it to Gao Mingcheng.

"This is a new thing I got. You have good eyesight. Show me."

Gao Mingcheng took the jade pendant and observed it carefully under the kerosene lamp. He found that there were some loess that had not been cleaned up in the gaps of the jade pendant carving, as if it had just been dug out of the soil.

He had dealt with antiques in his previous life. Although his eyesight was not as good as those of the masters, he was still better than ordinary people. After looking at it, Gao Mingcheng preliminarily guessed that it should be an antique that had just been unearthed.

The jade should be sheep fat jade, but he didn't quite understand what dynasty it came from and what this jade pendant implied.

"Where did you get it?" Gao Mingcheng asked in a low voice.

Huang Dazhi didn't hide it from him, but said: "At the end of the year, there are gambling houses everywhere. Recently, the task of the bureau is to catch gamblers everywhere. Every now and then, the gambling gang can be caught and a sum of gambling money will be confiscated. This jade pendant was discovered by me during an arrest."

"The person who opened the gambling shop got the news a few minutes in advance, so he let the gamblers leave, and hurriedly hid the gambling money in the hole he had dug long ago, and then covered it with soil, and the person stood on the soil."

"When we rushed in, we didn't catch all the people, and then we searched for gambling funds for a long time. Finally, I found that the soil under the man's feet was not right, as if it had just been turned over, so I dug it up with a hoe, and sure enough, the gambling funds were inside. "

"It was dug by a few other colleagues. After we found the gambling money, we were going to take him back to the police station. I was at the end and happened to find this thing in the soil. I thought it was not money, so I picked it up. , did not hand in."

"Later, the more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong. I thought it might be an antique! But it has been a few days, and now I can't talk about it with the bureau."

Huang Dazhi told the ins and outs of the matter, with a slightly distressed expression.

At first, he really didn't intend to steal it, but his sharp eyes spotted it, and he thought it was something small, so he picked it up.

After Gao Mingcheng listened, he also expressed his guess: "This may be an antique, but I can't say exactly what it is and how much it is worth."

Huang Dazhi's eyes lit up when he heard that it was an antique and might be worth a lot of money. He lowered his voice and said, "Mingcheng, you know a lot and have a wide range of ways. Take this thing. If you sell it, we will get half of the money." !"

Gao Mingcheng hesitated for a few seconds and agreed to Huang Dazhi's proposal.

"Okay, I'll look for information first to see what this thing is and whether it is worth money. This thing looks like it has just been unearthed, I think... If you are free, go to the place where you arrested people last time and have a look. , to see if there are other things in the soil." Gao Mingcheng said, and Huang Dazhi also thought of this, and decided to go and see whether there were any.

So he nodded and said, "I'll take the time to check it out tomorrow!"
