While waiting for the meat to be cooked, Gao Mingcheng ate a bowl of porridge to fill his stomach. After he was not so hungry anymore, he could slowly start grilling the meat.
There is no seasoning at home, so I can only marinate it with salt and sprinkle some chili powder. After it is baked, it is hot, fragrant and tastes good.
Of course, if you taste it carefully, you will find that the meat of the wild boar has a bit of a smelly smell, so he cut a few pieces of meat from the piglet.
Gao Mingcheng was a generous man, so he cut a lot of meat and marinated it, so that each person could have at least one or two skewers.
"Shitou, let me give you some pork kidneys, they're so tender!" While everyone else was working, Gao Mingcheng's dining partner was little Shitou.
Xiao Shitou sat on a small stool, holding a skewer of roasted pork belly, eating with his mouth full of oil. After Gao Mingcheng handed him the roasted pork kidney, he immediately took it and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Don't underestimate him because he is small. He is very good at eating.
Many people usually cook late and eat simply, with only one dish per meal, a plate of stir-fried black beans with chili peppers, which can last a whole day.
Xiao Shitou was treated better, as he could have a steamed egg from time to time, but that was all, so he was very greedy for meat.
"Is it delicious?" Gao Mingcheng saw that he looked greedy and teased him with a smile.
"Delicious!" Little Shitou spoke clearly. After saying these two words, he continued eating. But no matter how greedy he was, after eating two skewers of meat and a roasted pork loin, Little Shitou burped due to fullness.
"Haha, you are not allowed to eat anymore, otherwise you won't be able to digest it." Gao Mingcheng refused to grill meat for Xiao Shitou anymore and told him to go play somewhere else.
Little Shitou was full, so he ran obediently to the adults to watch them deal with the wild boar.
Gao Mingcheng continued to grill the meat and eat it. When he was full, he grilled a few more skewers and then called Chen Dasong and others to come and eat.
"Eat one skewer each, taste it, and take a break before you continue working." Gao Mingcheng called everyone to come and eat. At first, everyone was polite. After Yu Xuanyu came to eat first, the others started to eat one after another.
While they were eating barbecue, Gao Mingcheng removed the pork bones and piled them aside, then cut two pieces of good meat, which he prepared to give to Grandma Xi and Grandma Gao.
The barbecue fire was still burning, so Gao Mingcheng cut off the pig's feet, head and tail, and threw them into the fire. As soon as the flames came into contact with the grease and pig hair, crackling sounds were heard, and a foul smell spread.
After working for a full hour, the group finally managed to get rid of the wild boar.
Gao Mingcheng did not take both wild boar meats to the county, but kept about 100 kilograms. He cut the meat into long strips, each about 2 kilograms, put them in a jar, rubbed them with salt, and marinated them for three days before taking them out to dry in the sun.
"Duofu, three days later, help me take out this meat and hang it under the eaves." Gao Mingcheng said to Chen Duofu.
Chen Duofu nodded immediately, indicating that he remembered it.
In addition to the pickled bacon, Gao Mingcheng also left a lot of meat for the three dogs. It was all wild boar meat. This meat was a bit fishy and the texture was rough. It would not taste so good for humans to eat.
As for Chen Dasong's family and Zhang Chengyuan's family, the old rules were still followed, and each of them received some pig offal and pig bones. However, Xuanyu asked to eat pig liver, so Gao Mingcheng cut a pound of pig liver for her.
After thinking about it, I decided to give the Chen family a pound of pork liver, and also made arrangements for Grandma Xi and Grandma Gao.
Pork liver replenishes blood and is good for the body if eaten occasionally, but it should not be eaten frequently because the liver is responsible for detoxification.
After loading all the things he was going to take to the county onto the truck bed, Gao Mingcheng prepared to leave. He didn't plan to come back in the short term, so as for coming back to get eggs and vegetables, Gao Mingli would do it.
Before leaving, Gao Mingcheng said to Zhang Chengyuan: "Brother, please plant some lettuce for me. It's the best for barbecue."
Lettuce can be grown all year round, but it grows slower in winter.
The weather has been good recently, which is good for the seeds to germinate. The grown lettuce is just right for eating during the Chinese New Year.
"Okay." Zhang Chengyuan agreed, thinking that he had no lettuce seeds at home, so he had to go to the cooperative in Junling to buy some.
After explaining everything, Gao Mingcheng drove the tractor all the way to the old village, while the people from Chen Dasong's and Zhang Chengyuan's families also started to get busy.
The sun was already high in the sky and the sheep in the sheepfold were already bleating with hunger, so Zhang Chengyuan quickly led the sheep out.
Once the goats are out of the cage of the sheepfold, they are so happy. They bleat and nibble on the tender grass and leaves.
Compared with their good appetite, the old ox that was suspected to have gallstones seemed lazy. Even when the delicious grass was handed to it, it didn't want to eat it, and it would howl angrily from time to time.
Under the sun, the oranges on the tree have gradually turned yellow, accumulating sugar to make the flavor of the oranges better.
There is half a month left before the oranges are harvested and sold.
Gao Mingcheng drove the tractor against the wind. When passing by the old village, he naturally delivered meat to his relatives and friends, and then went all the way to Xing'an Mountains.
The weather is getting colder, and the high-end clothing from Guangzhou has been arranged, and the local mid-range clothing also needs to be arranged. Therefore, this time when he goes back, he has to get the goods from Gao Shouwang.
"Uncle Shouwang, here, these meat and ribs are for you." Gao Mingcheng held a piece of meat and two ribs and handed them to Gao Shouwang with a smile.
Gao Shouwang glanced into the truck bed and praised: "Mingcheng, you caught another wild boar? That's amazing! There are so many people in the village, but few dare to go into the mountains to catch wild boars. Gao Fuqiang and his brothers do have guns, but they are busy making bricks every day."
"Their family is also good, and they will be able to build a house in the early spring of next year."
"That's a bird gun. It's still not enough to kill a wild boar. Uncle, are all the things I want ready?" Gao Mingcheng said.
"It's already been prepared. I'll move it to you!" Gao Shouwang rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to the warehouse to move the goods. Gao Mingcheng naturally wouldn't let him move it alone. The two of them each carried a bag and placed the two bags of goods vertically on the truck bed.
"Ming Cheng, you are the only one in the village who can hunt wild boars from time to time. But during the New Year, you can't say for sure! Haha." Gao Shouwang said and laughed first.
He was not a riddle teller, and he continued, "I received a letter from my sons. They will be able to go home to visit their family during the Chinese New Year! When the time comes, I will ask them to go into the mountains and hunt a wild boar so that I can show off."
"Congratulations, Uncle Shouwang! I remember they haven't come back to visit for two years, right?" Gao Mingcheng said, thinking about his previous life. Unfortunately, his relationship with Gao Shouwang's family was very ordinary at that time, and he didn't know some details at all.
Gao Shouwang nodded repeatedly and said with emotion: "It has been two years since I came back! They are far away and have heavy tasks. They really don't have time to come back on vacation. Otherwise, it would take several days just to go back and forth!"
"Mingcheng, I will invite you to my house for dinner. You young people will definitely have something to talk about." Gao Shouwang invited with a smile, and Gao Mingcheng naturally agreed. As long as he was willing, there would be topics to talk about.
He also chatted with Gao Shouwang about his recent situation and was relieved to learn that Gao Shouwang did not let anyone buy on credit.
The problem of triangular debts was serious this year, leading to an economic downturn, but those that were affected were still large enterprises. For small businesses like theirs, the impact was not particularly great.
After getting all the necessary things, Gao Mingcheng drove his tractor all the way to the county.
This time, Gao Mingcheng would be busy in the village for another seven or eight days, which made him miss his wife and children very much. When he returned to the clothing store and saw Xuanmei and Xiao Xuxu, he couldn't hug his wife in front of everyone, but hugging his son was a natural thing.
"Xiao Xuxu, do you miss your daddy?" Gao Mingcheng kissed Xiao Xuxu's face a few times, but he hadn't shaved for a few days and his beard hurt Xiao Xuxu, so Xiao Xuxu stretched out his hand and supported his chin to prevent him from kissing him.
"Ming Cheng, who told you not to shave!" Many beauties laughed on the side. Little Xuxu's tender skin was pricked red by the beard.
However, the affection between father and son cannot be destroyed by a beard. Little Xuxu still stayed in Gao Mingcheng's arms, pinching Gao Mingcheng's face with his hands for fun. While playing, he leaned over and kissed Gao Mingcheng, resulting in saliva all over his face.
This kid's saliva is too profuse!
Gao Mingcheng complained in his heart, but he didn't mind his son's saliva. He wiped it with his hand and pretended nothing happened.
I looked around but didn't see Little Potato, so I asked about Little Potato.
Xuanyuemei said: "Officer Song took Little Potato away yesterday morning. He said he had contacted Ji'an and found Little Potato's parents, so he wanted to take Little Potato to recognize his parents."
"When you didn't come back, Little Potato was very resistant and didn't want to leave. Later, we had a lot of trouble to coax him to leave. Oh, I hope he can find his parents smoothly."
After raising the little potato for a few days, Xuanmei began to feel a little attached to it. Although she was reluctant to let it go, she also knew that it would be good for the child if he could find his biological parents.
Gao Mingcheng felt a little sad when he learned that Little Potato had passed away.
But life is like this, you will encounter many people and things along the way. If you can help some people and make their bumpy life easier, it is a good deed.
Xuanyuemei added, "By the way, Mingcheng, three days ago, a child was abducted in our county! There was a hardware business on Nongmin Street. The man went out to buy goods, and the woman stayed at home to take care of the child. As a result, when she came back from buying groceries, the child was gone!"
"I called the police, but there is no news yet. I can only guess that two middle-aged men took advantage of the situation and took him away. After this incident, I don't dare to let Aunt Hu take Xiao Xuxu out to play. I only dare to let him play near the house."
While talking about other people's affairs, Xuanyue was actually very scared, because she couldn't even imagine what would happen to her if Xiaoxuxu disappeared.
Gao Mingcheng listened to the news, tried hard to recall, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He knew the answer to this question!
This matter has little impact now, at most everyone will just talk about it and it will be over. But in twenty years, this matter will be brought up again and trigger a wave of public opinion!
Because twenty years later, the abducted child unfortunately got leukemia. His adoptive parents treated him very well and raised him as their own child. After discovering that the child had leukemia, they were even willing to sell their house to pay for his treatment. However, the disease is difficult to cure and requires a bone marrow transplant.
In addition to the bone marrow bank, the other sources are provided by relatives, and the success rate of matching between relatives is very high, so the adoptive parents asked the biological parents to go to the hospital for matching.
This incident was a huge blow to the biological parents. The child was abducted when he was just over two months old. They had no news of the child for twenty years. Now they have news, but they learned that the child has leukemia!
And the child lives in a town less than 20 miles away from their home! The one who took the child away was a relative of the adoptive parents, so they always knew the situation of their biological parents.
Because the incident was quite bizarre, it caused quite a stir after being reported by the media.
Gao Mingcheng happened to see it when he was browsing the news on his mobile phone. Since it happened in his own county, he went out of his way to read the causes and consequences, so he had some impression of it.
Thinking of this, Gao Mingcheng couldn't sit still, but if he rashly went to the police station to find Gao Guobing, he couldn't explain why he knew about this.
So he decided to look for Maozi.
He held Xiao Xuxu in one hand and carried two kilograms of meat in the other, and walked towards Maozi's house.
Fortunately, Maozi was at home.
"Brother Mingcheng." When Maozi saw Gao Mingcheng, he immediately and attentively moved out a bench and motioned Gao Mingcheng to sit down.
"Maozi, this is wild boar meat for you and your brother. Wild boar meat is a bit fishy. When you fry it, add more chili for seasoning." Gao Mingcheng handed the meat in his hand to Maozi.
Maozi took it happily and asked Gao Mingcheng if there was anything wrong.
"It's like this. I heard that someone's child in our county was missing, and I also heard that a family in Qingshi Town suddenly had a new child. But I don't have time to confirm it. How about this, you go to Qingshi Town for me and find the family surnamed Liu to see if they have a new child. Remember the child's appearance, and then go to Nongmin Street to ask around. If the situation matches, you go to the police station to find Huang Dazhi and ask him to bring the family of the missing child over."
Although Gao Mingcheng was 90% sure, he decided to let Maozi make a trip first.
It is said that dragons have their own ways and rats have their own ways. When it comes to mingling in the streets and gathering information, people like Maozi find it easier to do so and are less likely to arouse the vigilance of others.
Sure enough, Maozi said, "I have been there to collect antiques before, and no one would suspect anything if I go there again now. Okay, I will go there to inquire about the news today."
Maozi agreed immediately without asking Gao Mingcheng where he heard the news. He only believed in one thing, that is, if he followed Gao Mingcheng, he would not suffer any loss!
Last time he thought he could make a big deal, but unexpectedly he encountered danger. If it weren't for Gao Mingcheng's ability, it's hard to say whether he could come back safely.
In the end, although I was worried and scared for the whole night, I did get something in return, as I got a goat.
Unlike Gao Mingcheng, Maozi did not choose to raise goats, but sold them directly. The money he got could become his capital, so that when he came across good things, he could also buy them. (End of this chapter)
