After going to her mother's house and buying a bunch of meat, Wang Jinhua was helpless.
"What do you need me to do?"
She has already grabbed the pig intestines.
Of course, she knew that Xiaoqi wanted to stuff sausages.
After selecting a few pieces of pork belly, Meng Qidi handed the task of chopping the meat to her, and went into the house to prepare various seasonings...
The little girl squatted beside her grandmother, talking about her great achievements in the Meng family in the past two days...
The seasonings were fine, as she had them all, and if she didn't have them she could find them. The problem was what to put in them.
Wang Jinhua listened to her mumbling for a long time and said helplessly, "It would be fine if there is a funnel. You just need to clean the oil leaker at home."
Although her family was poor in the past, she had seen sausages being made at home before she got married.
Meng Qidi suddenly realized and hurried into the house.
It takes two people to do the enema. One of them stuffs the meat into the oil leaker, while the other fixes the pig intestines and the oil leaker...
Even with the cooperation of two people, it still took an entire afternoon to prepare all the pig intestines.
Ten kilograms of pork was also lost out of one hundred kilograms...
As for the remaining pork, while Wang Jinhua was away, Meng Qidi collected a few pounds of pork into the space, and pickled the rest to make bacon.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, every household is busy distributing grain, making tofu, and preparing various New Year goods.
There were still four days before the Chinese New Year when the village radio rang, announcing that grain would be distributed and pigs would be slaughtered tomorrow.
Lingjia Village also has pigs, but they only raise one, and the pig is very skinny. There is not much food, after all, it is a lazy village, so what they can get is already very good.
This is also why Meng Qidi didn't go to the village to buy meat. If it weren't too risky to catch wild boars in the back mountain, she would probably have gone to catch wild boars.
The Meng family was making tofu. Wang Jinhua lit the stove and gave the seat to Meng Qidi.
Although Meng Qidi knows how to do things in the kitchen, she feels that she is not as good as the old lady. When it comes to her, she basically thinks that as long as the food is cooked and can be eaten, it's fine.
The old lady is different. She comes from a wealthy family and is more picky about food. The same seasoning tastes much better in her hands.
After making the tofu, I boiled sugar in the evening. I used well water and the syrup had a faint fragrance.
Early the next morning, Wang Jinhua didn't let Meng Qidi go too early, and went there herself with the basket to load the meat.
It was past eight o'clock when Meng Qidi took Ling Cheng to the threshing ground with a sack.
The grain field was crowded and bustling. Even though there were only a few people at ordinary times, when it came time to distribute the food, almost all families came out for fear that there would be too few people...
"Xiaoqi, come here quickly." Wang Jinhua greeted her quickly when she saw her daughter-in-law coming.
As soon as she arrived here, Ling Cheng broke away from Meng Qidi's hand and went to find her friends. Her status among her friends has improved a lot recently.
"The food hasn't been distributed yet, right?" Meng Qidi glanced at the pork in the basket and estimated that it was less than ten kilograms.
"No, our family has had enough meat this year." Wang Jinhua smiled.
To be honest, since Xiaoqi got married, the family's life has improved. She was very happy from the bottom of her heart and she really had no regrets in her death.
"Sister Jinhua, I heard that Xiaoqi bought a lot of meat for your family this year at her parents' house? It's good to have money..."
"Oh, they've bought it, they've got money, but they still share the meat with us, right?"
Wang Jinhua was unhappy with the sour words. She handed the basket to Meng Qidi and put her hands on her hips.
"We have meat, but what the village shares is what we deserve. Is there anything wrong with having money? It's because our Xiaoqi and Lingxiao are hardworking. They are capable. You can't envy them. If you have the ability, let your men go out to work instead of being lazy and eating every day..."
"Bah! Who knows who got your family's money from, that shady guy..."
"You can choose to return the goods." The man brought up the biogas issue again. Meng Qidi's voice was cold. As expected, some business could not be done with these people in the village who had no bottom line.
The person who spoke shrank his neck and said, "Back off, what the hell? Ling Xiao's wife is not someone who is easy to talk to. She will smash the house of anyone who returns the goods. She is simply a bully in the village.
Meng Qidi, who was inexplicably dubbed the village bully by the whole village, was too lazy to pay attention to these people. She carried the pork basket and went straight to the captain in front.
"Hey, Ling Xiao's family, we agreed to line up, how could you cut in line!" someone couldn't help but shout.
"That's right. You're still a college student, but you don't have any self-awareness at all."
Everyone immediately started shouting and the threshing ground was in chaos.
Wang Jinhua was very angry and wanted to argue with that person, but was pushed to the front by the crowd...
Meng Qidi was too lazy to pay attention to that group of people. She put the basket on the table, pulled out a stool and sat down.
Ling Hanfang came out with the account book and placed it in front of Xiaoqi. "Thank you for your hard work as a college student. Looking around the whole village, you are the only one who can help me."
Ling Hanfang glanced at the messy grain field, stepped on a stool and shouted, "Everyone be quiet, whoever makes noise and doesn't line up will have a pound of grain deducted from his salary!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the place fell silent.
Ling Hanfang said, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and line up and go to Xiaoqi to register to receive the grain."
Everyone came to their senses and quickly lined up. Wang Jinhua, who was pushed to the front, actually got first place. She was stunned for a long time...
Due to the captain's prestige, no one dared to say anything. Ling Hanfang jumped down and said, "They have no skills, but they are all better at talking than the other."
Everyone was silent. Isn't it just that they know how to make money...
"It has begun." Ling Hanfang roared. The more he looked at this group of people, the angrier he became. They always had to force things to happen, and each one was more enthusiastic than the other in dividing things. It was really infuriating.
Perhaps they noticed that the captain was angry, so now everyone was behaving themselves.
Ling Xiao was not at home, so there were only three people in Ling Xiao's family. Meng Qidi and Wang Jinhua had no objection. Wang Jinhua signed and went directly to the captain to collect food.
Ling Xiao didn't distribute any food, and the captain still had a sullen face, so no one dared to say anything at this moment.
There were quite a few people in Lingjia Village, and they did little work. They also paid part of the grain, so there wasn't much left for everyone. Wang Jinhua took the grain and sent the meat back first, planning to push a cart over to haul it. The grain was put in a sack and placed next to Meng Qidi.
In addition to rice, each household also received 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes and dozens of kilograms of corn kernels.
This amount of food will definitely not be enough to last until next autumn harvest...
After the food was distributed, it was already noon.
After refusing to go to the captain's house for dinner, Meng Qidi pushed the food, picked up the crazy little girl, put her in the cart, and pushed it back.
When they got home, Wang Jinhua had already prepared the meal and put it on the table. "There is so much meat at home. You can take all of it to Beijing next year, except for some left over. Ling Xiao usually loves these cured fish and meat at home."
"Yes." Meng Qidi nodded. Although she took all the bacon away, she planned to hand over the family's passbook to her before she went to school next year, otherwise the old and the young would have to starve at home...
