Chapter 209: The 1970s Educated Youth Are a Little Tough
"No, I have to go to one more store. Uncle Qian, you guys should go to bed early."
After delivering Accountant Qian, Lin Wanwan walked towards the village chief's house.
Things went smoothly at the village chief's house, as he opened the door himself.
Then he told Lin Wanwan not to risk going up the mountain alone in the future, and asked her not to spread the news of killing the wild boar, and then he personally sent her home.
This time Lin Wanwan did not refuse.
Although she felt it was unnecessary, the village chief was worried and insisted on sending the person back personally. He is also a lovely uncle.
When he returned home and saw the Feng family, the village chief was not surprised and reminded them not to spread the news about the wild boar.
"If there's meat, put it under the bowl and eat it, okay? If anyone asks why there's meat in the house, just say Xiaohua and Lin Zhiqing bought it yesterday when they went to the supply and marketing cooperative together."
"Lin Zhiqing is young and doesn't understand these things, but we adults should understand the principles..."
The village chief talked a lot to the Feng family, mainly to Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng.
As for Old Lady Feng, the village chief knew that the old lady knew what was going on, so he didn't emphasize it too much.
After giving the instructions, the village chief returned home in the dark.
Feng's father and mother also rushed back home with the meat that their family had received. They still had to process the pig's head and offal under the cover of night.
Lin Wanwan also marinated the ribs and meat that she was given at home, and then put them in the cupboard.
There was a lot of meat, so she planned to make bacon and dry it.
There isn't much meat at home anyway, so I don't plan to sell any this time.
After finishing her work, Lin Wanwan felt her stomach growling, so she threw the few large bones and meat that were left over into the pot to stew.
Before daybreak, the fragrance from the village wafted far away.
But when the villagers got up one by one, the fragrance had dissipated and they couldn't find out from which house it came.
"God damn it, who's stewing meat so late at night?"
"I'm afraid he went hunting in the back mountains again. He's really in trouble. He only knows how to eat alone and doesn't know how to share with others."
When Lin Wanwan and Feng Shihua got up, they heard cursing coming from the village.
Over and over again, it means that the person who stews the meat eats it alone, disregarding the collective interests.
The two looked at each other, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Just as you said, someone really started cursing this morning."
"Fortunately, the aroma of meat had already dissipated, and no one would know that it came from our house." Feng Shihua was convinced by the sisters' prediction.
Lin Wanwan came to the kitchen and opened the lid of the pot. The big bones inside had already been stewed.
Last night, they were thinking of eating meat first, but they were too sleepy in the second half of the night, so they simply made a bowl of calcium milk biscuits to get by, then put enough firewood at the bottom of the pot and went to bed.
When I woke up in the morning, the firewood had long been burned out and the meat in the pot was stewed until it was soft and boneless.
And it’s just the right time to eat it, neither too hot nor too cold.
They each picked up a few large bones and ate them contentedly at the table with their large bowls.
"My mother and the others should have braised their offal. Let's come back early at noon and I'll bring your portion over."
Her parents had already reminded her of this last night, so Feng Shihua knew what to do.
"Don't serve me too much. I'm just one person and I can't eat much."
"There's still so much meat at home, enough for me to eat for a month!"
Feng Shihua thought about the meat being marinated in the kitchen, and she felt a little sad.
As expected, city people are city people. This amount of meat is enough for their family to eat for a year, but Wanwan said it was only enough for one month.
It's really luxurious.
"You don't have to be too frugal at home. When we run out of meat, we can go to the mountains to get more."
"I don't know if there's any prey in my trap. I have to go check it out tonight."
It’s not possible during the day. Even if you come back early at noon, there will be children collecting pig grass running around the village.
If I don’t tell anyone, the children in the village will see it and tell my family.
"Okay, then I'll continue to sleep with you tonight!"
Feng Shihua happily bit off a piece of lean meat. No wonder grandma always said that the meat with bones was the most delicious.
Especially after dipping it in garlic and chili sauce, the taste is simply unbearable.
"Finally, I'm full. I'm going to wash my hands. We'll go to work together later."
He looked at his hands, which were covered in grease.
Feng Shihua's situation was similar to hers. The two of them went to the well, one after the other, to fetch water to wash their hands.
Lin Wanwan always uses soap to wash her hands, so these annoying oil stains are washed away instantly.
After packing up, they put on the same hat and went out.
The villagers were quite resentful today. Even while waiting for the mission, I could hear everyone talking about the smell of meat in the village.
In contrast, the village chief's family and Accountant Qian's family were in high spirits and smiling.
I think the meat was processed last night and maybe eaten in the morning.
The meat can be marinated with salt, but the two big bones must be roasted immediately to taste good.
Stew some big bones into soup, then add some sauerkraut, potatoes, etc., and the whole family will be able to enjoy the food.
Both families looked at Lin Wanwan out of the corner of their eyes, but no one came forward.
They had all been warned by their elders at home, so they just kept the matter in their hearts and no one told anyone about it.
Today, the tasks assigned to Lin Wanwan and Xiaohua are easier than those of the previous two days.
The two of them finished their morning work before noon and returned home early.
Feng Shihua sneakily brought over a large bowl of pig's head in a basket.
Then he rejected Lin Wanwan's suggestion to have dinner together and went home to clean the house.
The family members were still working in the fields. Since she got off work early, she had to feed the chickens, ducks and the big flower at home first.
Then I cleaned the pigpen and chicken coop, and weeded the vegetable garden.
Wait until the family is about to come home, then cook the rice.
I made mixed grain rice for lunch with a lot of red beans in it.
Then go to the garden to pick some potatoes, beans, eggplants, etc., and stew them together with the pork head in a big pot.
The food here is much better than usual. Even during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, you may not be able to eat this well.
When the Feng family came back, everyone had a smile on their face.
Especially when they smell the fragrance from the kitchen, they feel even more happy.
Lin Wanwan cooked some white rice for herself, then took two ribs and two pieces of pork and put them in the space to stew.
After finishing the meal, when the ribs and pork were almost cooked, he put everything into the space and opened "Run, Little Potato".
I ran as fast as I could to the secret base agreed upon with my parents and put the prepared food inside.
Before leaving, he turned back with some concern and took a look at the wooden door made by Lin Jianhua.
"This thing won't work. If a wild beast comes, it will take some time to pry this wooden door open!"
Lin Wanwan opened the wooden door and plunged into the space.
