My village can't be like this

Chapter 510 Giving Gifts
"Hey, what kind of wind brought you here today? It even brought our young master with it."

Seeing Zhang An walk into the office, Zhuang Shuying teased him with a half-smile.

After all, on weekdays, whenever Zhu Yuliang asked Zhang An to come over, he would refuse for a long time.

It was so cold today that I was willing to run out of my house.

After teasing Zhang An a few words, Zhuang Shuying came up and teased little Siqi on Zhang An's back.

"It's only been a few months, how come we, Siqi, have grown so big? Do you still remember aunt, honey?"

"Don't tease him. He's starting to grow teeth recently. I'll give you a bite later. It'll be quite bearable."

The little guy's big watery eyes, paired with his plump little face, are especially popular with women like Zhuang Shuying, who always tease him a few times every time they see him.

"Teething begins so soon. Your son is growing really fast. I have never seen a child with teething so early. But it's not surprising. When he was born, he was bigger than other children. a lot of."

Zhuang Shuying didn't feel strange when she thought about how little Siqi weighed a full eight pounds when she was born.

When this child was in his mother's belly, he developed faster than other children, and it will naturally not be any worse after he is born.

"Is Lao Zhu in the office today?"

Not hearing Zhu Yuliang's voice, Zhang An asked Zhuang Shuying.

"Yes, there is nothing going on during this period, and there are no meetings to be held. Where else can he go? If you have anything to do, just go to his office."

Zhuang Shuying knew that Zhang An's relationship with her immediate boss was not like other people at all, so she had to let her report it.

"That's it, I'll go over and talk to Lao Zhu about something first."

After leaving Zhuang Shuying, Zhang An walked to the door of Zhu Yuliang's office, knocked on the door and went straight in.

"Hey, why are you here, and you brought the child with you."

Zhu Yuliang, like Zhuang Shuying, did not expect Zhang An to come.

"I haven't seen this child for several months, and he is already so old. His eyes are not only porphyrin-porphyrin, but they are also getting brighter and brighter. He must be a spiritual child."

Maybe Xiao Siqi is born with a kind of approachable temperament, so no matter who sees him, he must come over to tease her first.

"Haha, his godfather thinks so too. He also said that when he grows up, he will personally teach him martial arts and pass on all his skills to him."

He had been carrying it on his back for several hours, so as soon as he entered Zhu Yuliang's office, Zhang An put his son down from his back.

"Practice martial arts? Real moves or tricks?"

Although there are not many extraordinary people with real kung fu in this era, you can still see them.

Especially in this mountain, there are many hermits living in seclusion, just like Zhang Yixing.

But they are just like ordinary people, and most people can't see it.

"That must be a real skill. I learned all my skills from him."

When he was a child, Zhang Yixing did teach Zhang An through words and deeds for many years, but Zhang An was relatively weak at that time, and Zhang Yixing did not teach him many things.

Fortunately, I had some space later and made up for all my previous regrets.

"That's a really strange man. Please introduce him to me if you have the opportunity in the future."

Although Zhu Yuliang is middle-aged, he is still very curious about such strange people and strange things like ordinary people.

"What kind of opportunity is this? His old man is in the village now. He is the master of Sanqing Temple on our mountain. His abilities are amazing, especially his medical skills. He has solved many people's problems."

Now that Sanqing Temple has been rebuilt, Zhang and his party are not practicing meditation, so they definitely need incense.

So Zhang An introduced Zhang and his party to Zhu Yuliang. After all, Lao Zhu was considered a relatively high-status group of people in this county.

"Oh? Then next time I go to your village, you have to take me to get to know this Taoist priest."

Zhu Yuliang's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang An mentioning that Zhang Yixing was particularly good at medical skills.

But this is human nature. No matter how rich and powerful a person is, who can guarantee that there will always be no problems with his body.

"These are all trivial matters. By the way, I came here today to bring some thoughtful gifts from the neighboring villages to our forestry bureau. Just treat it as a New Year's gift."

Later, Zhang An told Zhu Yuliang the purpose of his visit.

"Zhang An, you don't regard our unit as your own now. The life of everyone in the village is not easy. Why are you still helping everyone to send things to us? If you tell us what you have to say directly, why do you do this to others? thing."

When Zhu Yuliang heard this, he immediately frowned and said.

Zhang An could also hear the meaning in his words, which meant that based on their relationship with Zhang An, if anything happened, they would definitely help if they could, and there was no need to do all this miscellaneous stuff.

The implication is that if Zhang An comes to see them, they will try their best to help. But if it's not Zhang An, then that's a different story. This guy, Lao Zhu, is supporting Zhang An.

"Hey, Uncle Zhu, it wasn't me who arranged this this time, it was our village chief and everyone else's wish. I can't even persuade him."

Zhang An pretended to smile bitterly and apologized to himself for being aggrieved.

"Is your village chief Xiaoxue's future father-in-law?"

Zhu Yuliang had some impressions of Zhang Jianwen when he went to Changqing before, and the fact that Bai Xue and Zhang Ping were dating was no longer a secret in the Forestry Bureau, so Zhu Yuliang naturally knew about it.

"Yes, it's my old uncle, and what I sent this time was not something important, but some mountain goods that we brought back when our village organized a winter hunting in the snow last time. However, it was snowing all the time and I didn't have time to deliver them. Come here, so all of them have been smoked to death by the old uncle."

Zhang An specifically said that Zhang Jianwen was his uncle, just to show that Zhang Jianwen was a person who was relatively close to him.

"Okay, let's forget it this time, but we won't do it next time."

After hearing what Zhang An said, and that it was still a local product, Zhu Yuliang no longer refused.

"Then let's go take a look now? They're all in my car."

It is never easy to give gifts to people. If the person is not right, even if you send them to the door, others may not accept them.

Today is Zhang An. If Zhang Jianwen came here on his own, Zhu Yuliang might not accept it.

Zhu Yuliang naturally had no objections and followed Zhang An outside.

"Hey, these are pheasants and rabbits. They seem to be well smoked. The smoky smell tells you that they are authentic craftsmanship."

Zhu Yuliang recognized the wax pheasant and rabbit in the bag as soon as he saw them.

He has also been to the countryside and joined a team before, so he has a certain understanding of these things.

It's just that conditions were poor at that time, and there were very few good things like this, and even less that I kept and smoked.

Moreover, many people smoke it casually, and it looks dark. Even if it is washed, it is still black. But the smoked ones by Zhang Jianwen are different. Not only are these waxed pheasants and rabbits not black, they are smoked golden.

Anyone who knows the goods will know that the person who smoked these things must have his own skills.

"Yes, there are all of them in this car, a total of fifty of them. Lao Zhu, please see how to deal with them."

Zhang An did not make the decision, but gave the decision-making power to Zhu Yuliang.

After all, he is the boss of the Forestry Bureau, so it is natural for him to decide how to allocate it.

"Let's do this. Each person in our unit will have one, and several leaders will take one more. The rest can be given away by other unit leaders when the time comes."

Zhu Yuliang thought for a while and then came up with his own idea.

There are more than 30 people in the entire Forestry Bureau, and two people are definitely not enough for one person.

Moreover, several leaders must not be like other comrades. There are also leaders of some friendly units who also need to express their opinions, especially those in charge of the money bag like the Finance Bureau.

When Zhang An came, he had almost the same idea.

"Then let's go back and sit for a while. We can solve this problem after lunch and everyone has a rest."

Checking the time, it was not yet noon when Zhu Yuliang called Zhang An to get ready to go back to the office.

"If everyone has nothing to do now, just shout out and share it first. I will rush back later."

There is still more than an hour before the lunch break. If you keep waiting, you will definitely not be able to eat Zhang Ping's pig-killing rice when you get back.

"It's winter, why are you so busy going back? Wait until you have dinner here at noon before going back."

Zhu Yuliang looked like you kid was talking nonsense to me again.

"It's really something. My old uncle's house is killing pigs today. Everyone is here. I will definitely be there too. If I don't have time tomorrow and rush to deliver things to you, I will be helping to kill pigs right now. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yuliang didn't believe him, Zhang An looked speechless and quickly explained a few words.

"Okay, I'll call everyone out, and I'll let you go this time."

Zhu Yuliang knew that villages in the mountains like Zhang An were very particular about killing New Year pigs, so he no longer stopped him.

So I walked inside and called the family together.

"Everyone, let's stop what you are doing. Today, our fellow villagers from Changqing have sent us some New Year gifts, so we will treat them as New Year's goods and send them to everyone first. At the same time, we would also like to thank our Changqing Villagers. Collectively, fellow villagers and elders.”

This was probably not the first time that Zhu Yuliang had done something like this. He said the same thing.

In the past, he wouldn't have mentioned the things sent from anywhere, but today because it was sent by Zhang An, he mentioned the name of Changqing's village.

As expected, everyone became very happy when they heard that they could get something.

But I don't know if I can remember who sent it.

But it doesn't matter even if they don't remember it. As long as Zhu Yuliang remembers it, it's done.

As a result, a line began to line up at the door of the Forestry Bureau, and Zhang An and Zhu Yuliang began to distribute things to everyone.

Although everyone may get different things, no one is picky at this time. After all, the leader is here, and it is good to have it. How can you pick and choose like shopping.

Others in the Forestry Bureau now also knew that Zhang An sent it, so when they got it, they didn't forget to thank Zhang An.

Zhang An felt that he had made a lot of money. The gift was given by the village, but in the end, he received the favor himself.

The thirty or so people were not many at all, and it took less than half an hour for them all to be distributed.

"Tell me, what needs to be done in your village?"

Back in the office, Zhu Yuliang asked Zhang An directly.

He thought of giving something for no reason, and he would definitely not believe it if it was nothing.

"It's not a big deal. The village caught a few deer a few days ago. Everyone is very optimistic about the prospect of raising deer, so they plan to raise these deer with the village committee as the main body."

Although hunting protected animals is not allowed these days, deer are still within the allowed hunting range, so Zhang An did not hide it from Zhu Yuliang. After all, he came here mainly for this matter.

"Sure, I understand this. When do you need to apply for the certificate? Just ask people from your village to come directly."

As soon as he heard Zhang An's words, Zhu Yuliang knew that the other party's purpose was to obtain a certificate.

"By the way, Zhang An, your family is also going to kill pigs this year. How many are you planning to kill?"

Zhu Yuliang didn't take the previous matter to heart, and it wasn't a big deal. He turned around and asked Zhang An about the pig slaughter.

"Of course I want to kill them, and I'm going to kill them tomorrow. Just like in previous years, I'll kill three of them."

In the past, killing pigs during the Chinese New Year was a big deal, maybe only once every two or three years.

But now, almost none of the pigs raised by Zhang An are sold out, so killing pigs has become an indispensable thing before the Chinese New Year every year.

"Well, let's kill one more pig for me this year. I remember that your family raised seven or eight pigs this year. If you kill them tomorrow, I will go to your house to have a pig-killing meal tomorrow."

Zhu Yuliang had known for a long time that Zhang An's family had seven or eight rolling mountain pigs, and they had been raised free-range, so he had been interested in these rolling mountain pigs for a long time.

Today, I heard that Zhang An's family was going to kill a pig tomorrow, so I naturally ordered a pig from Zhang An's family.

It's equivalent to buying a pig at Zhang An's house and killing it together at Zhang An's house.

Because he knew that the meat of this rolling mountain pig was very delicious, even more fragrant than local pork.

"Okay, but my pig is quite big, probably almost three hundred pounds. Do you really want a whole pig?"

In fact, mountain pigs don't grow very big. They can only weigh about 200 kilograms in a year. This is still the best situation for raising them.

For example, the two animals that Zhang Jianwen's family planned to kill today only weighed 1,780 pounds after raising them for a year.

But Zhang An's group of rolling mountain pigs almost all weighed three hundred kilograms, and people believed them even if they said they had been raised for two or three years.

This rolling mountain pig is indeed fuller than ordinary pigs, but it can't bear the food. Zhang An has been raising it with space spring water.

After killing a whole pig, there are more than 200 kilograms of clean meat. Zhang An was a little doubtful that Zhu Yuliang could bear it.

"It's so big? That's the best. I want the whole head. Don't give it to anyone else then."

Their family would definitely not be able to eat all the meat from a whole pig.

But when he and Zhang An bought a pig, it was not just for the family, because it was also used to give away.
