Chapter 101 It's so good!
The Guo and Li women originally intended to take advantage of their age and gain some benefits.
When Zhang Shuzhen arrived, she gave the two of them a good scolding, leaving them humiliated and with no choice but to leave.
Upon seeing this, the others also left.
Of course, some people were unwilling to accept not getting any benefits, so they went to the field and the family team leader to complain and cause trouble.
It simply means that the wild boars in that forest should be communal.
The educated youth team also belonged to the forest farm. Since they hunted wild boars, the spoils should be distributed throughout the entire forest farm. Why did those educated youths make decisions on their own? And so on.
But since the leaders of the forest farm all got a share, and Old Huang's family team also got a share, they were bound to speak in favor of these educated youth.
In addition, there were more than forty educated youths from Qianchuan Forest Farm alone in the educated youth team, and there were more than forty families behind them.
These families are all the ones who benefited, so they're bound to side with their own children.
"Shameless! All you ever do is dream about things."
In previous years, when wild boars entered the fields, whoever watched over the fields at night and killed one kept it; what did it have to do with anyone else?
Oh, so many wild boars have been killed this year, and everyone's getting envious, right?
I'd like to see who dares to cause trouble. Anyone who dares to cause trouble, I'll fight them to the death.
Sheng Liancheng heard about it at the small repair shop and immediately got angry.
At the homes of other educated youth, they would also stand in the courtyard and launch into a tirade of veiled insults.
Those who were secretly plotting behind his back were humiliated and quietly went home, no longer daring to show off.
Sheng Xiping wasn't quite clear on these things. After sending the meat and bones he had been allocated home, he went back to work at the collective household.
At noon, the educated youth ate lunch at the collective household.
The female educated youth washed the offal, added seasonings, and cooked it. Then they cut it into pieces, added potato chunks, and stewed it in a big pot.
Everyone filled their lunchboxes with food and ate it with flatbread, pancakes, and other snacks, enjoying it immensely.
After lunch, Sun Yunpeng and a few others approached Sheng Xiping, saying they wanted to ask for leave.
"Captain, we would like to ask for leave to go back to Songjianghe."
Their homes are all in Songjianghe, not in the forest farm.
Seeing others taking meat home, these people also felt homesick and thought about going back for a visit.
"Oh, if you want to go back, then go back. Just try to come back as soon as possible so as not to delay your work."
Sheng Xiping couldn't care less about any of that; let them go wherever they wanted. So he didn't even ask how they were going to get back.
Of course, with Sun Yunpeng and his group's abilities, returning to Songjiang River would be very easy.
Go to the venue and tell the leaders, or make a phone call back to Songjianghe, and they'll make the arrangements.
The female educated youth from Songjianghe were also quite tempted when they heard this, and wanted to go back with them.
As for Zhou Qinglan, she had just sent a truckload of firewood home a while ago, so it wouldn't be good for her to ask for leave to go back now.
So she simply handed her share of the meat to a girl she was on good terms with, asking her to deliver it to the Zhou family on her way.
The internal combustion engine in the yard "just happened" to need to go down to do some business, so Sun Yunpeng and the others took the internal combustion engine back to Songjianghe to deliver food to their families.
When these families saw that their child had made something of himself, working as an educated youth in the forest farm and even sending meat back home, they were all quite happy.
In Qianchuan Forest Farm, many families happily ate meat that evening.
Wild boar meat is tough and doesn't taste good when stir-fried directly. Most people boil the meat until cooked, then cut it up and stew it with vegetables.
Or you can shred the meat, add shredded green onions, and season with salt, soy sauce, and other condiments to eat.
If it's winter, you can stew sauerkraut, which tastes pretty good too.
Of course, you can also make dumplings or steamed buns. Anyway, meat tastes better than vegetables, and you won't leave any leftovers no matter how you make it.
"Mom, are we having meat for dinner tonight?"
At the Sheng family's place, lunch was just something casual and simple.
Before leaving home for afternoon classes, the children couldn't help but ask about the pot of bones and the piece of meat with alternating layers of fat and lean meat on the stove.
"I'll stew pork ribs for you guys tonight. That big rack of pork ribs, I'll chop it up and stew it with green beans in a pot. You can eat whatever you want tonight."
Zhang Shuzhen had already figured out how to eat it.
There are plenty of spare ribs, and if you add green beans and potatoes, you can stew a big pot of them, and the kids can eat as much as they want.
As for that piece of meat, it was the rib meat of the yellow-haired boy, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, and it was quite tender. Zhang Shuzhen planned to marinate it with salt and eat it slowly.
In everyday life, you can't just eat your fill of whatever delicious food you find at once. You have to take it slow and steady, right?
Several pounds of meat, once marinated, can be stored for a long time. Adding some to stir-fries will keep it for quite a while.
"Huh? I was thinking of eating braised pork." Sheng Xitai said with a drawn-out "Ah," sounding quite disappointed.
"Mom, could you make me some braised pork? I haven't had it in ages, I'm really craving it."
"Didn't we marinate some meat when we built the house? Why are you marinating it again?"
Just thinking about that perfectly marbled, sweet and savory braised pork, glistening with oil and trembling, made Sheng Xitai's mouth water.
So he looked up at his mother and said with a pleading expression.
"It's good enough to have ribs to eat, why would I want braised pork?"
Do you know how much effort it takes to make braised pork? That stuff is unpredictable; how much meat can you even get from this stew? And it wastes sugar too.
Zhang Shuzhen glared at her youngest son.
You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. Living in a home involves spending money everywhere, so you have to be careful.
Who doesn't love braised pork? Well, you have to be able to afford it.
This meat weighs four or five pounds. If we make a braised pork dish, my kids could probably eat it all in one meal.
