Chapter 76 Bringing Food to My Young Wife
Gao Mingcheng thought to himself that he was not a completely good person in his previous life, but he was not a completely evil person either. At most, he was a pig standing at the outlet of the wind and reaped some of the dividends of the times.
But Huang Dazhi is different. Although Huang Dazhi is honest and has a good reputation in his hometown, when he goes to Guangzhou next year, he will become a member of the famous motorcycle gang.
Gao Mingcheng didn't know exactly how it happened.
He was also in Guangzhou at that time. Because of his small business, he offended the local thugs and was robbed. He fought back, but the strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake. The other party had more people and more power, and he was almost beaten half to death.
At the critical moment, Huang Dazhi appeared and helped him beat away the thugs. Those thugs might also know Huang Dazhi, so after Huang Dazhi showed up, they ran away one after another.
Huang Dazhi saved him only because they were from the same hometown, but they didn't have much friendship with each other and they never saw each other again.
The next time I heard about Huang Dazhi was in a newspaper several years later. In the most conspicuous place on the newspaper was a photo of a criminal handcuffed and taken to the police station.
The criminal was Huang Dazhi.
It was then that Gao Mingcheng learned that Huang Dazhi was actually a member of a motorcycle gang who had committed many evil deeds and was eventually sentenced to death.
After all, they are from the same hometown and Huang Dazhi has helped him before, so Gao Mingcheng has a deep impression of him.
Now seeing Huang Dazhi, Gao Mingcheng suddenly wanted to take him to Zhangshu to sell medicine. Perhaps after Huang Dazhi made money, he would stay in his hometown to take care of his family instead of going to Yangcheng and embarking on that road of no return.
After returning to his grandmother's house, Gao Mingcheng put his things down and ran to the kitchen to drink water.
He gulped down a large bowl of soup and finally quenched his thirst. It was then that he smelled the tempting aroma of meat in the kitchen.
Gao Zhuang was sitting on the wood under the stove watching the fire. Pig heads, pig feet, pig bones, pig stomachs and other things were stewing in the big iron pot, emitting steam.
"Brother Mingcheng, are all the wild boar meat sold out? Why didn't you wake me up?" Gao Zhuang asked. He was a deep sleeper. Gao Mingcheng didn't call him in the morning. When he woke up, he looked at the time and it was already eight o'clock.
"I can do it alone, why should I call you? Look, if you clean up the meat, I will have something to eat when I go home!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile, and then he looked around and saw a pig liver there, so he took a kitchen knife and cut it into three.
"There's still some wild boar meat left. I'll share some and send it to someone else. You continue to watch the fire, and I'll come back to eat the meat later." Gao Mingcheng said as he began to divide the remaining wild boar meat into three portions.
In order to sell more meat, he allowed people to choose the parts they wanted to buy at will, so the remaining parts were not so good, with more bones and less meat.
After he divided the meat, he put it in a basket, kept one portion for his grandmother, gave one portion to his parents, and of course, one portion to Duoyuemei.
Many beautiful ones also received a hairy pig's trotter and a piece of lard, which, when added up, was quite a lot.
During this period, whenever he had something delicious, he would send a portion to Xuanyuemei. Xuanyuemei's energy and blood were much better than before. Even her second sister noticed that something was wrong and said some sour words.
Gao Mingcheng didn't care about Xuanyu's sour words, but he had to go out now and couldn't send food to Xuanyumei, so he simply sent it to her second sister's house, so that her second sister could also benefit from it and scold Xuanyumei less.
When he went there, Xuanyu was also at home, picking some old corns to use as seeds.
Xuanmei was chopping wood in the corner where firewood was piled. She had a machete in her hand. When she encountered thicker firewood, she would chop it down with one stroke. If she encountered thinner firewood, she would break it with her hands.
"Duomei, I caught a wild boar yesterday and sold most of the pork. These things are for you." Gao Mingcheng bypassed Xuanyu and handed the basket directly to Xuanmei.
Manyu looked down and saw the basket full of meat, and their hearts suddenly felt as sweet as if they had eaten honey.
Last time Gao Mingcheng wanted to give her a piece of lard, but she refused. In the end, she couldn't persuade him enough and asked for about a pound of it. This time, Gao Mingcheng gave her another piece of lard. Although wild boar lard is relatively thin, it can still produce a lot of oil.
"Why give so much? Take some back..." Xuanyuemei said. Before she finished speaking, Xuanyueyu said hurriedly, "Gao Mingcheng has killed a wild boar. He has plenty of meat to eat. Do you still want you to be polite?"
"Mingcheng, thank you!" Xuanyu smiled at Gao Mingcheng again with a very enthusiastic attitude.
Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng handed another basket of things to Xuanyue and said, "Go and clean it up. The meat we got yesterday will smell bad if we don't clean it up today. Let me talk to Duomei."
"Okay!" Xuanyu didn't care about having to do more work. She looked at the basket of things, estimated in her mind how much money they would cost, and then she felt even happier.
When she found out that many people were eating delicious food alone, she felt very jealous, but unfortunately she couldn't say it out loud.
Now we finally have meat to eat, and so much of it!
After Xuanyu left, Gao Mingcheng took the machete from Xuanyumei and said, "I'll do it!"
Many beauties stood aside and watched him chop firewood. He was very strong and could cut even the thickest firewood into pieces with one chop.
You know, the machete in their house is not sharp enough, and there are gaps of various sizes on the blade, but they have no money to buy a new one.
While chopping wood, Gao Mingcheng said, "I will go out to sell medicine tomorrow morning. I will be back in about ten days. You should take good care of yourself at home."
Manyu Mei's eyes were full of smiles, but she said, "When you are away from home, just take care of yourself and don't worry about me. I am at home, anywhere is fine."
So the two of them talked while they worked, and when all the firewood was chopped, Gao Mingcheng was ready to leave.
"I'm leaving. You should eat more meat!" Gao Mingcheng's words made many beauties burst out laughing.
After Gao Mingcheng left, she went into the kitchen to help. The daytime temperature was still a bit high, and the meat had been left overnight, so it really needed to be processed quickly.
While Xu Xuanyu was still burning the hair on the pig's feet with fire, Xu Xuanmei cleaned the lard, cut it into pieces and put it into a clean large iron pot.
As the fire in the stove burned fiercely, the fat in the lard was boiled out, emitting bursts of meaty aroma. Xuanyuemei and Xuanyueyu enjoyed this meal very much.
"How beautiful! You really found a good partner!" Xuanyu was full of envy and talked about the old days again: "When my father was sick and dying, he asked me to find a man to marry into his family. I was unwilling to do so, but I had no choice."
"You know, it would be great if I got married!" Listening to her father and finding a husband to marry into her family has always been a pain point for Yu.
She also wants to get married and doesn't want to live such a hard life.
But at that time, her eldest sister was already engaged, her two younger sisters were not yet grown up, and her father was dying, so she had to take on the responsibility of the family.
