Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 56

The seller immediately announced the price loudly, and said that it was the freshest lard that had just been pulled from the slaughterhouse in Nanchang.

Gao Mingcheng also glanced at it several times, feeling a little moved.

At this time, the structure of urban and rural life has changed somewhat.The lives of people in the city gradually improved, and they began to pursue health and weight loss, so lard was not easy to sell in the city, and most city people ate rapeseed oil and tea oil.

However, the demand for pork in the city is still very high. Every day, many pigs are slaughtered in slaughterhouses. The excess suet will be purchased by some vendors and then transported to the rural markets for sale.

Different from city people, country people are very keen on eating lard.

They lack oil and water in their stomachs, so they think that cooking with lard is more fragrant and delicious.

Usually, they slaughter one pig per group, and one pig only has two sets of lard and one set of water oil. If you want to buy lard, you have to rob it.

Gao Mingcheng also planned to buy some lard, but now the stall was full of people, and most of them were women, so he didn't want to crowd.

It happened that he was still hungry, so he went to the breakfast stall first and ate a bowl of noodles and a few steamed buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks and the like. Only then did Gao Mingcheng walk forward.

First asked the price, and then asked the other party if he could agree to exchange rabbits for lard.

There are a lot of rabbits in the mountains. With his current skills, he can hunt them down anytime he wants to eat them. Even the simple traps he made before have not been checked for several days.

The lard seller had carefully inspected the rabbit he had brought, and after making sure it was fresh, he agreed.

It’s just that Gao Mingcheng wanted to buy two pairs of pig suet, and it was not enough to replace the two rabbits, so he added some money. Each pair of pig suet was rolled into a long one, and then folded in half with a palm tree leaf to make a third Tie and knot it so it can be carried in hand.

After buying suet, Gao Mingcheng looked around and bought 30 catties of rice. In recent years, the price of millet has increased year by year, from 40 yuan per 1990 catties to more than 60 yuan. By [-] , it rose to more than [-] yuan.

Because he was greedy for convenience, he bought the rice directly, so the price was even more expensive.

The rice bag is the fertilizer bag. After the fertilizer is used up, take it to the pond to wash and dry it, and then it can be reused again.

After buying these two things, Gao Mingcheng didn't stay any longer, and went directly back to Gaojia Village.

He carried fifty catties of rice on one shoulder and two packs of suet in the other. To be honest, he looked very cool, and attracted the attention of many people along the way.

It’s okay if you don’t know each other very well. When you meet someone you know, you will inevitably say hello, and the other party will joke that Gao Mingcheng has made money and bought so many good things.

Gao Mingcheng said haha, saying that he brought it for others, as to whether those people believed it or not, Gao Mingcheng was out of his control.

The countryside is a web where people are extremely interconnected, and there are good and bad sides to this situation.

When people are in it, they will get used to this subtle life state, but Gao Mingcheng has experienced later generations, people in later generations advocate a sense of boundaries, not to mention ordinary neighbors, colleagues, parents, brothers, sisters and even husband and wife, all pay attention to Borderline.

Although Gao Mingcheng doesn't pay attention to the sense of boundaries, he is somewhat uncomfortable with socializing too enthusiastically.

At this time, every family does not have much privacy at all. Even the news of who bought a catty of meat can be spread throughout the village, and it is necessary to analyze why they have money to buy meat, and why they want to buy meat. Guests, or something.

Next, Gao Mingcheng walked fast all the way, avoiding others as much as possible, and quickly returned to Grandma Xi's house.

Grandma Xiao and Gao Zhuang are not at home. I heard yesterday that I will be weeding in the field today.

Gao Mingcheng put down the rice and a pair of lard, and then took another pair of lard to many beautiful homes.

Last time he said that he would send some oil to Manymei. He originally planned to go to the cooperative to buy some soybean oil, but now he met someone who sold lard suet, so he must give lard suet. For malnourished people, eating lard is bad for the body better.

Before I got to Duumi's house, I saw Duumi wearing a straw hat, coming from a road, holding an empty jug in her hand, and was about to go home to fill with cold boiled water.

The two happened to meet each other, and each other's eyes were full of surprise.

"How beautiful!" Gao Mingcheng shouted loudly, lifted up the lard suet in his hand, and said with a smile: "Last time I said to send oil to you, now, I will send it to you!"

Duomei looked at that pair of suet, estimated it weighed five or six catties, and was both happy and disapproving.

She looked around and saw no one else there, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and said hastily, "Why do you send so much gas? You only made ten yuan yesterday, so you're going to spend it right away? "

"I can't take this oil, you take it away!"

Many beauties resolutely refused.

Before Gao Mingcheng secretly brought meat to her to eat, she felt sweet in her heart, but she couldn't accept the lard Gao Mingcheng sent.

The meat was hunted by Gao Mingcheng himself, but the oil was bought with money.

She hoped that Gao Mingcheng could save more money so that they could have money to get married.

She expressed this wish and persuaded Gao Mingcheng to resell the lard to others.

The little daughter-in-law was thinking of herself, and Gao Mingcheng felt as if he had eaten honey, he forcefully handed the lard to Manymei's hands, and said: "You can eat it at ease, I have money, and I will prepare for the marriage. "

But Duomei still refused to take it, and in the end, Duomei was only willing to keep a catty of lard, and Gao Mingcheng took the rest.

Gao Mingcheng had no choice but to smile helplessly.

Many Mina bamboo baskets covered the lard so that it would not be eaten by wild cats and mice, and filled a kettle with cold boiled water.

"Second sister and I are working in the field. I came back to irrigate water. I'm going to the field soon. You go back, I'm leaving!" Many beauty said goodbye to Gao Mingcheng and went to the field.

If she delays for a long time, her second sister will definitely scold her for being lazy again.

Gao Mingcheng carried most of the lard suet and watched Doumi leave, so he had no choice but to take the things back to Grandma Xiao's house.

Seeing that there was still some time, he simply washed the lard suet, cut it into pieces and boiled it.

There is a little trick to boil lard. At the beginning, put some water, so that it is not easy to stick to the bottom of the pot, and the boiled lard will be whiter.

This time a lot of lard was boiled, but it didn't matter. Every family in their village used a big iron pot to cook. Although a big iron pot is expensive, if it is used carefully, it can last for more than ten years.

The big iron pot has many advantages. First, it can cook porridge, and second, it can also cook pig food.

Some people who don't pay attention to it use the same pot for cooking pig food and rice.

　This weekend, I took my children to the playground to play until very late before returning home. After typing, I lost all energy. Good night, tomorrow's chapter will be posted a little later.
