Although it is vacation, Wan Feng still has a lot of things to do.
Buying and slaughtering pigs for the New Year is one of the major events.
His family didn't raise pigs, and he didn't want his mother to worry about that.
During the Chinese New Year, you can buy a few extra pigs from your neighbors and slaughter them for the New Year.
Of course, it’s not just pork. I also buy some beef, mutton, donkey meat, and fish and keep them at home.
Anyway, there is no need for a freezer in such cold weather. It will freeze into a block of ice if left outside for a few hours.
Every year when buying these meats, Wan Feng would buy several portions, for his uncle's family, his grandfather's family, Luan Feng's family, and his own family.
This year was no different. Wan Feng drove a pickup truck that had once been used as a test vehicle to Liu Yong's pig farm to buy pigs.
The first batch of pigs raised by Liu Yong and Liu Shengguang, the first 200 pigs, have been cleared out.
Wan Feng bought a few of the 35 pigs from the second batch of seven pig pens as experimental feed.
Among these thirty-five pigs, the largest weighs less than 300 kilograms, and the smallest weighs about 250 kilograms.
The live pig market was also good this year, reaching 1.6 yuan. Their first batch of pigs sold for more than 90,000 yuan, and after deducting all expenses, each person had a net profit of 16,000 to 17,000 yuan.
If all 35 pigs are sold to one person, there will still be more than 2,000 yuan left, which means the annual income is more than 20,000 yuan.
With 230 or 240 pigs, each person can save 20,000 yuan, which is already pretty good.
Compared with Liu Yong, Liu Shengguang also has an oil mill. This year, the scope of his bean collection has expanded again, and he has collected a lot of beans north of Daying Township.
With more beans, the profit will naturally be better, but the sales of bean cakes are still a concern for him.
Wan Feng bought four of the largest pigs. After paying the money, he took them back and hired three butchers to kill the pigs in front of the old man's small factory. Then he distributed one pig to each family.
Luan Feng's pig Wanfeng was delivered by car.
I don't know where Luan Feng went, and she's not at home either.
After delivering the meat, Wan Feng declined his mother-in-law's invitation to have dinner here and went home.
After buying the New Year’s goods, we just wait for the New Year.
Human beings are very strange animals. It is said that people tend to get tired of the old things, which is very normal.
For example, when it comes to one’s own spouse, after a long time, most men feel like they are just touching their own wives with their left hand, and they will think that other people’s wives are better.
Women think so too.
This is a sign of getting bored with the old and liking the new.
But there is one thing that no matter men or women, they don’t get tired of the old things.
Yes, it’s the Chinese New Year.
The New Year comes every year, but when it comes, everyone is in high spirits. Wan Feng has never heard anyone say, "Oh! I don't like the New Year!"
Maybe someone said it but Wan Feng never heard it.
But he promised not to say such a thing.
Wan Feng is not sure whether there is another group that would say something like this.
Because this group does not celebrate the Spring Festival, they celebrate Christmas.
There are two such groups in the Nanwan Group, one is the smaller Soviet group, and the other is the Curite team from He Lan.
The Soviets are Orthodox Christians, and their Christmas is January 7th, while the Hollanders are Catholics or Christians, and their Christmas is December 25th.
Whether it was December 25th or January 7th, Wan Feng was not at home, so he could not celebrate Christmas with the foreigners.
Even if he were at home, he might not spend the holidays with them. He has never been interested in Western holidays.
But not being able to celebrate or not celebrating Christmas does not mean that you cannot celebrate the Spring Festival with these foreigners.
In order to make foreigners fall in love with this place, festivals must be celebrated, which can also be considered a factor of united front work.
Therefore, on the afternoon of the 30th, Wan Feng ran to the factory dormitory to spend the Spring Festival with these foreigners.
These foreigners lived in a separate area of the factory dormitory building, and there were more than 50 people including the Soviets.
Wan Feng brought Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures, and put up Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures with these foreigners from Eastern and Western Europe.
After the Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures were posted, I made dumplings with them.
The factory canteen was closed for the Chinese New Year, but Wan Feng hired several housewives from Wohu Village to cook for the foreigners at a cost of 20 yuan a day.
They mixed the dumpling filling and dough and taught the foreigners how to make dumplings.
Because the eight or nine people from the Soviet Union had been there for many years, they were not only able to communicate with Wan Feng on a deeper level in language, but also learned how to make dumplings.
But the Helan people in Curit's team are not like that.
This was their second Spring Festival in Nandawan. They could only maintain the simplest communication with Wan Feng in terms of language, and they were a mess when it came to making dumplings.
The dumplings they make are more like wontons or noodles than dumplings.
We didn't eat the dumplings until after five o'clock.
Wan Feng didn't eat here. It was already past five o'clock, so he went home to celebrate the New Year.
After inviting guests to the New Year and having dinner, Wan Feng gave his family New Year’s money and left the house with his father.
Wan Shuichang recently often plays small cards with some old men in Xiaoshutun, the kind with 246 cents.
In Wan Feng's opinion, this is extremely boring and not worth the money.
The father and son walked from home to Liujiu's shop in Xiaoshutun and then parted ways.
Liu Jiu raises pigs in Huang Hui, and his wife runs the small shop at home, and she does a good job.
Wan Shuichang went into Liu Jiu's shop, while Wan Feng went to his uncle's house.
The old man’s battery factory is right behind Liu Jiu’s shop.
Wan Feng went in just to say hello and wish a happy new year in advance.
After saying hello, Wan Feng walked towards the bay entrance.
The shop was full of people playing mahjong, poker and looking at cards. He didn't want to go in and be polluted by the smoke.
The streets were full of children, each wearing new clothes and carrying a canning bottle lantern with a lit candle in it, running around everywhere.
From time to time, the sound of small whips could be heard.
There are even more people on Wankou Street, many of them adults.
After seeing Xu Bin's entertainment city making money, Wankou established two more entertainment businesses.
The business also includes game consoles, video arcades, billiards, and singing.
Normally the three companies are competitors, but now even if there are three more companies, they cannot accommodate the young people who come to Wankou for fun.
The thirty game machines in the arcade were still being smashed and making loud noises. In the past, Xu Bin would have shouted at them to be more gentle.
I won’t shout anymore. Just smash as hard as you can if your hands don’t mind the pain. Let’s see who you can hurt!
Anyway, he makes game consoles, so if you have the ability, just smash them!
Xu Bin was not in the game room today. He was probably upstairs coaxing the children. Only Xu Meilin was sitting at the bar downstairs, reading a book intently.
She didn't even know Wan Feng was in front of her.
How dare you neglect Boss Wan?
Xu Meilin's head was hit several times and her brain was broken!
"You hit me on the head again, are you crazy?"
"Ah! Did you give the money away for free? Or did you let someone take advantage of you for free? Neither? What kind of stupidity is that?"
Wan Feng walked into the bar and found a chair to sit down.
