Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

afternoon.

Deng Shirong made a simple pork belly stewed with pickled cabbage. This is a delicious dish that is suitable for eating, porridge or even drinking.

Speaking of this dish, we have to mention sauerkraut.

Sauerkraut is available all over the country, but the cooking methods and the vegetables used to make it are different, and the taste is naturally very different.

As for Deng Shirong himself, he has eaten many kinds of sauerkraut, but the most delicious one has to be the kind made locally.

In the realm of Shuangwang, in this era, large vegetables are used to make sauerkraut, but in later generations, mustard greens were used to make sauerkraut.

But whether it is green vegetables or mustard greens, the preparation method is the same.

First of all, when choosing vegetables, be sure to choose older ones, so that the sauerkraut produced will be sour enough.

After selecting the vegetables, wash them first, then dry them in the sun, then cut them, sprinkle them with coarse salt, and stuff them into a container such as a jar.

After marinating for a period of time, take it out, use stones to press out the water in the sauerkraut, and then put it in a jar to get the finished sauerkraut.

The sauerkraut made in this way is very sour. If used to stew pork belly, it will be sour and have a special fragrance, which will really make you appetizing.

At this time, the niece and nephew's son-in-law, as well as their youngest son Deng Yunheng, were full of praise for the food.

As for Deng Yunzhu, Deng Yunsong and Deng Yunhua, they all went to Shuangwang Junior High School to study.

Among the three siblings, Deng Yunsong has just entered the third year of junior high school. Although Deng Yunzhu is two years older than his younger brother Deng Yunsong, he dropped out of school after finishing elementary school. Later, he returned to school under the persuasion of his father, but his study progress has lagged behind his younger brother. , she is currently in her second year of junior high school.

Deng Yunhua is in the first year of junior high school.

While eating, Deng Shirong asked: "Dafang, do you know that Zhongshi is planning to borrow money to buy a car for transportation?"

Bu Dafang said with surprise on his face: "This guy from Zhongshi wants to take out a loan to buy a car for transportation? Why is he so brave?"

Jiang Dehu was also shocked. He knew that this brother-in-law was not a fuel-efficient person. He had been naughty and had many fights in the village since he was a child, but it was still a bit unexpected for him to be so courageous and dare to take out a loan to buy a car for transportation.

Deng Shirong sighed and said: "I pointed out this path to him. In fact, I pointed out several paths to him, but he finally chose this path, and he doesn't know whether the result is good or bad."

Hearing this, both Bu Dafang and Jiang Dehu suddenly realized that if this was the path pointed by their uncle, it would make sense.

Bu Dafang asked: "Uncle, you said you don't know whether the result is good or bad. What do you mean?"

Deng Shirong explained the dangers of running a transportation business, and finally said: "You can definitely make a lot of money by running a transportation business, but don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If you are unlucky and encounter a car bandit and a road bully, you will only lose money." It’s a small matter, but if something happens, I don’t even know how to explain it to your parents.”

He was really worried, after all, it was really hard to explain in this era.

He still remembers a certain case that happened in their Bangjie Brigade in his previous life. At that time, a middle-aged man driving a motorcycle picked up a young passenger and drove to a sparsely populated area in Bangjie Brigade. When they arrived, the passenger came out with a knife to commit robbery.

If the motorcycle owner had not resisted and cooperated honestly at that time, maybe he would have just lost some money.

But it was the early 1990s, and motorcycles were still very valuable. The owner of the motorcycle was unwilling to be robbed like this, so he resisted.

As a result, his life was lost there.

After all, it was a matter of life and death. It caused a huge sensation in the Bangjie Brigade at that time. I don’t know how many people ran over to see the crime scene. Deng Shirong was one of them. When they saw the motorcycle owner lying in a pool of blood, it was so miserable. The picture is truly unforgettable.

Deng Shirong was afraid that his nephew would meet such a desperado. If he was the kind who only wanted money, it would be fine, but if he met the kind of desperado that had no regard for human life, it would be really fatal.

Bu Dafang was a little worried after hearing this, but she had never left the Shuangwang Realm when she was so old, and her understanding of the outside world was limited, so she was not too worried, and instead comforted her uncle with a few words.

Everything that needs to be said has been said. No matter how much you worry, it will be of no use. Deng Shirong stopped mentioning the matter and continued: "As for Xiaoshi, he will work with his parents at home to contract the mountains in the village to plant sugar cane. Dashi is now here The county is also doing a good job. I want to ask you two, do you want to do something on your own? "

Bu Dafang and Jiang Dehu looked at each other and asked worriedly: "Uncle, don't you want us to help you take care of the orchard?"

Deng Shirong shook his head and smiled: "Of course not, it's just that you help me take care of the orchard, and you only earn a few dozen yuan a month. If you do something yourself, you may earn more than this, so I want to ask you what you think. "

Bu Dafang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said with a smile: "I thought uncle, you didn't want us to help take care of the orchard. I think this is good. The two of us earn sixty yuan a month, which is already a high salary." , There is no one in the whole village who can compare with us.”

Jiang Dehu also nodded and said: "Yes, uncle, the two of us have no skills, no business acumen, and we don't have the courage to go out like Zhongshi. It's better to help uncle take care of the orchard honestly. "

Everyone has his or her own ambitions, and Deng Shirong did not insist on it.

If they want to do something on their own, Deng Shirong, as his uncle, will definitely help them show the way, but since they have such a contented mentality and are willing to help him take care of the orchard, there is no need to force it.

After all, these are his niece and nephew-in-law. As long as they can always help diligently, he will definitely not treat them badly.

"Okay, since you think this is good, then feel free to work here with me, and I will give you a big red envelope at the end of the year."

"Thank you uncle!"

"Thank you uncle!"

…

In the next few days, Deng Shirong began to ride his bicycle around the countryside. Every time he went to a village, he would chat with the aunts and wives, and inquire about the girls in the village who had not yet found their husband's family to see if there were any girls with good personalities and good looks. of.

Since he said he would help his nephew find a suitable partner this year, Deng Shirong must be serious about it.

After all, my eldest nephew is already 23 years old this year. To future generations, many people at this age are still young college students, but to people of this generation, as long as they are no longer studying, most of them are already married.

An eldest nephew is already an older leftover man.

I searched several villages in a row, but I couldn't find a girl that the three aunts and six women in the village praised unanimously.

But Deng Shirong is not in a hurry. After experiencing the things in his previous life, he has deeply understood the truth that if two people with different views forcefully get together, it will affect not only the two of them, but the entire extended family. Affected.

Therefore, you must find a suitable partner.

On this day, Deng Shirong rode his bicycle to Taipingpo Village of Naqing Brigade.

Naqing Brigade was an administrative village under Shuangwang Town in later generations. However, Shuangwang has not yet become independent from Songshan. Naqing Brigade is naturally under the jurisdiction of Songshan Commune. Its location is probably between Songshan Street and Shuangwang Street. between.

In the natural village of Bobai, everyone in the same village basically has the same surname. Even if it is enlarged to the entire brigade, a certain surname is the main one.

For example, the Bangjie Brigade mainly has the surname Deng.

As for the Qing Brigade, the majority were named Liu.

"Woof woof woof!"

As soon as Deng Shirong rode his bicycle to the entrance of Taipingpo Village, two dogs appeared out of nowhere and kept roaring at him. They looked fierce, as if they were about to pounce and bite at any time.

If future generations saw this scene, they would be so scared that their legs would weaken.

But Deng Shirong has lived in the countryside for eighty or ninety years and has dealt with too many local dogs. Naturally, he will not be afraid of these two beasts.

Dogs are bullies. The more afraid you are, the more arrogant they will be. As long as you scold them with a strong attitude, pick up stones or sticks on the ground and other weapons and pretend to drive them away, there is a good chance that they will be driven away. Jiuhui will choose to run away, not daring to fight you to the end.

Of course, the premise is that the dog you encounter is not a mad dog, and you do not invade the home it is guarding.

However, this method of coping was only when no one else was present, and now that Deng Shirong saw someone in front of him, he did not use the above method. After all, it depends on the owner to beat the dog. If others do not drive him away, he will not chase the dog away. It’s not too late to drive away.

And the result did not disappoint him. The two dogs had just rushed over and roared at him. Within three seconds, there were shouts and scolds from the other side. Then the two ferocious native dogs closed their mouths and shook their heads. Tails left.

The person who chased away the two local dogs was an aunt in her fifties. She walked up from the front and asked, "Biao, who are you looking for?"

Deng Shirong held on to the bicycle and said with a smile: "I'm not looking for anyone. I just have a boss with good conditions here. I want to come to your village to find out if there are any suitable girls, and then match them up."

When the aunt heard this, she immediately became energetic and said: "Ah Biao, it turns out that you are helping people to be matchmakers. Then you have come to the right place. I am not bragging to you. All the girls in our village are beautiful! You Come over here and sit down for a while, while you burn two cigarettes, I'll explain it to you."

He has been to several villages in the past few days. It is rare to meet such an enthusiastic aunt. Deng Shirong was also very interested in chatting with her, so he nodded and said hello, then pushed the bicycle and walked to the side with the aunt. In front of the mud brick house with whitewashed exterior walls.

By the time he parked his bicycle, his aunt had already handed him the chimney.

Deng Shirong was not polite. He took the chimney and sat down on a stool next to him. Then he skillfully took out the tobacco matches and started to burn the smoke.
