Chapter 1307: Yong'an's First Banquet, Our Zhao Family Gang
No wonder Zhao Guofeng asked. When he went to the garrison early this morning, he saw black smoke rising from the direction of the Zhao family.
But Zhao Guofeng didn't take it seriously, because the Zhao family has been doing this often recently, and sometimes even setting off firecrackers.
But normally, the black smoke only lasts for a while.
But today, the black smoke is getting thicker.
Zhao Guofeng was afraid of causing a fire, after all, every household had a pile of firewood outside their yard.
Not only that, some people's houses are made of wood. In addition, the winter in Northeast China is very dry outside.
If the fire spreads and is blown by the wind, it will be troublesome if it burns down the entire camp.
So, Village Chief Zhao came in a hurry.
When we got here, we saw Zhao Youcai roasting wild boar's trotters.
People these days don’t like pig’s trotters. Domestic pig’s trotters are not welcome, let alone wild boar’s trotters.
Besides, the Zhao family usually had more than ten or twenty people to feed, and if they killed a wild boar, four hooves would not be enough to share.
So, Wang Meilan collected all the wild boar trotters.
During this half winter, the Zhao family collected four large baskets of wild boar trotters.
The so-called big basket is a large basket made of tree bark, half a person's height, in which an adult can sit.
Roasting pig's trotters is to burn the pig hair and remove the toenails.
Once this is burned, it smells terrible.
But in order to get Wang Meilan to let him go to Lingnan, Zhao Youcai worked hard.
"I won't come. I have something to do over there." Faced with Zhao Youcai's invitation, Zhao Guofeng actually refused.
"What can happen to you in one day?" Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at Zhao Guofeng, but Zhao Guofeng said, "How come nothing happens to me?"
Zhao Guofeng and Zhao Youcai are good friends. Last year, the Zhao family held a New Year's Eve dinner and invited Zhao Guofeng's whole family.
But that time, Zhao Youcai told Zhao Guofeng about the dinner several days in advance.
This is how it works when you entertain someone. Inviting in advance means inviting them, and it shows that you value them.
If we call someone over now, it would be a waste of time.
At this time, Zhao Youcai stood up, took out a Shilin cigarette from his pocket and gave one to Zhao Guofeng.
After they lit up their cigarettes, Zhao Youcai said to him, "Now you're here. If you didn't come, I would have to go to your house to look for you."
"What do you want me for?" Zhao Guofeng asked. Zhao Youcai said, "We are planning a dinner today. Zhao Jun's mom asked you to come over. It will be fun for us all to have a good time together."
"I won't come over. You guys eat." Zhao Guofeng still refused. Zhao Youcai raised his hand and patted his arm, saying, "Silly old man, the director of the Forestry Bureau is coming today. If you come, let's have a drink together. Now we know each other, right?"
In the forest area, there is an unwritten saying.
That is: once you’ve had a drink at the same table, you become friends.
"Really?" Zhao Guofeng asked in surprise, "Why would the director come to your house to eat?"
"That's right, the TV station came to interview." Zhao Youcai said: "The director is here too, and my in-laws are here too."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guofeng asked without thinking, "Is it because Zhao Jun has caught the big claw again?"
Zhao Youcai twitched his lips and said vaguely: "Is that the case?"
After saying this, Zhao Youcai didn't want to talk more about this issue, so he changed the subject and said, "Come over later."
"Okay!" Zhao Guofeng nodded quickly. He seemed to want to say something, but he heard the sound of horse hooves and bells coming from afar.
Zhao Youcai and Zhao Guofeng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wang Fu driving a horse-drawn sleigh towards them.
"Whoa..." When they arrived at the foot of Zhao's tent, Wang Fu pulled the reins and Li Ruhai got off the sled.
"Uncle, Uncle Zhao!" Li Ruhai greeted Zhao Youcai and Zhao Guofeng.
"Ruhai, where did this come from?" Zhao Youcai looked in surprise at the roe deer with its four legs tied and its mouth tied on the sled, as well as the sacks and woven baskets.
"Uncle, this is what my mother asked me to buy at the old youth store." Li Ruhai said with a smile, "We are hosting a party today, and my mother asked me to add a few dishes."
"Tsk!" Zhao Youcai smacked his lips and said, "How can I let your mother spend money? How much money do you want to spend? I'll ask your aunt to give it to you later."
"Uncle, it doesn't matter whether it's money or not." Li Ruhai said, pulling the sack on the sled, and said, "This is 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes, let's pulp them all."
"Ah..." Zhao Youcai couldn't help but curl his lips. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Then, Li Ruhai pulled down the woven basket from the sled and said to Zhao Youcai, "Uncle, these are carp and crucian carp seeds."
The fish that had just been pulled out of the ice hole were still alive, but it was too cold outside and ice chips were hanging on the fish.
Zhao Youcai glanced at the fish in the basket, then took out some Shilin cigarettes from his pocket and gave them to Wang Fu, saying, "Brother, thank you for your hard work!"
"Why is it so hard, second brother?" Wang Fu laughed. He charged Li Ruhai fifty cents for this trip.
"Come over for lunch at noon." Zhao Youcai called Wang Fu and said, "Let's have a drink together."
Although both Zhao Youcai invited Zhao Guofeng and Wang Fu, he used two different ways of speaking.
It wasn't that Zhao Youcai looked down on Wang Fu, but he didn't even want to call him. He just said that out of politeness, after all, Li Ruhai had just said that his family was going to have a lunch break.
Wang Fu naturally understood what he heard and immediately refused: "Second brother, I can't come. Your sister-in-law will go back to her parents' home soon. After she leaves, I have to look after the house. I can't close the door, otherwise it will hurt the guests."
If you open a business, you can't close it all the time. Otherwise, people who come to buy goods will make a wasted trip, and some people will get angry.
In the business world, this is called hurting customers.
"Okay, there'll be a chance next time." Zhao Youcai let it go and picked up the backpack.
Seeing this, Wang Fu picked up the sack containing fifty kilograms of sweet potatoes and followed Zhao Youcai into the yard.
Li Ruhai took a stick and pierced the four legs of the tied roe deer. Together with Zhao Guofeng, he carried the roe deer into the Zhao family's yard.
After delivering the sweet potatoes, Wang Fu left in a hurry, while Zhao Guofeng stayed and helped Zhao Youcai hang the roe deer upside down in the backyard of the Zhao family.
The little donkey, which was eating in the backyard, stopped chewing and looked at the scene in horror.
A corn leaf, half of it is in the donkey's mouth, and the other half is outside the donkey's mouth.
Zhao Youcai took a rope and wrapped the middle of the rope around the roe deer's neck.
Zhao Youcai pulled one end of the rope and Zhao Guofeng pulled the other end, and the two pulled hard together, trying to strangle the roe deer to death.
The roe deer's limbs were tied and its mouth was tied; it could neither struggle nor cry out.
But at this moment, the little donkey who saw this scene stretched his neck and screamed in shock.
“Ah! Ah…”
"What are you two doing?" Suddenly, a voice came.
Zhao Youcai and Zhao Guofeng stopped, and the donkey's braying also stopped abruptly.
Wang Meilan is here!
As the two men loosened the rope, the roe deer exerted force from its waist and abdomen, twisting violently in the air.
"How cruel!" Wang Meilan waved her hands at Zhao Youcai and said, "If you want to kill him, you have to kill him quickly!"
"What should we do?" Zhao Guofeng asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by pleasure? Can we still shoot with a gun?"
"Hehe." Wang Meilan smiled faintly, her eyes unconsciously sweeping over the eight-pound sledgehammer standing at the base of the wall.
This hammer was rarely used before and was always kept in the warehouse.
"Guofeng, when did you come?" Wang Meilan didn't say much about killing the roe deer. She just said to Zhao Guofeng, "I just told your brother about it. I asked him to come find you later."
As she spoke, Wang Meilan waved her hand towards the front yard and said, "Guofeng, go inside and warm up. You don't have to do this job."
"It's okay, sister-in-law." Zhao Guofeng said, "We two brothers killed the roe deer."
"No, you can't do this job." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "How can I let you do this as a village chief?"
When Wang Meilan said this, Zhao Guofeng laughed, while Li Ruhai on the side secretly complained: "I am such a big family director, and I still have to do purchasing for you."
"Sister-in-law, if you don't need me, I'll go back first." Zhao Guofeng waved his hand and gestured in the direction of the garrison, saying, "The garrison can't do without someone."
"Then let your brother take you there." Wang Meilan gestured to Zhao Youcai, and then said, "Lunch is served. I'll ask him to invite you."
This is what it means to truly invite someone to dinner. Otherwise, how would they have the nerve to come on their own?
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, I'm leaving now!"
"Guofeng, then I won't see you off!" Wang Meilan gave Zhao Youcai a look, and Zhao Youcai accompanied Zhao Guofeng to the front yard.
The moment the two people disappeared around the corner, the corners of Wang Meilan's grinning mouth drooped, and then she turned around and ran towards the eight-pound sledgehammer.
At this time, the little donkey had a pair of ears drooping on both sides of its head, somewhat similar to the one-ear one when we first saw it.
Wang Meilan held the hammer in both hands, turned around and ran towards the roe deer again.
"Auntie!" Li Ruhai saw this and hurriedly said, "Let me help you stretch the rope, or you might hurt your waist!"
If the hammer misses, it will be easy to dodge.
"No need!" Wang Meilan finished speaking and swept out with a sledgehammer.
"Woo!" The hammer head swept past, and there was a short sound of breaking through the air.
"Puff!" With a dull sound, the hammer head touched the roe deer's crown.
"Snap!" The roe deer jumped up violently as if it had been electrocuted.
But in the next second, the roe deer's body stiffened, its eyes rolled back, blood came out of its mouth and nose, and it died.
The hammer head fell to the ground. Wang Meilan leaned on the hammer handle and murmured to herself: "I can't let it suffer. Otherwise it will be too cruel!"
Li Ruhai and the little donkey who were watching didn't dare to breathe.
"Ruhai, go into the house and help the old lady get a basin to drain the blood and skin the animal." After Wang Meilan said that, she turned around and dragged the sledgehammer over, ready to put it back to its original place.
"Auntie!"
"Huh?" Wang Meilan turned to look at Li Ruhai, and heard Li Ruhai say, "I was wrong."
"What's wrong, Ruhai?" Wang Meilan asked in surprise, "What bad things have you done again?"
"No, Auntie, I just remembered the mistake I made before." Li Ruhai said, "I shouldn't have followed the election for the head of the family! Um... Auntie, when the next election comes, I will go out and canvass for votes for you and I guarantee you will be elected."
……
Wearing a white coat and carrying a hunting rifle, he is Zhao Baotou who roams the mountains and forests.
After taking off his white coat, although Zhao Youcai was still wearing the tattered cotton-padded jacket that would scare one ear, he was still just Chef Zhao.
"Bah..."
A cleaned crucian carp is put into the pan and fried in hot oil, and the fish skin twitches.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Youcai put one crucian carp after another into the pot.
On the large plate supported by a four-legged stool next to it were four fried carps.
The smell of fried fish was very strong, and the dogs in the yard were staring at Zhao Youcai.
That’s right, Zhao Youcai was cooking outside.
This big pot is used to fry fish, and the big pot next to it is filled with wild boar elbows and trotters.
Smoke was also coming out of the Li family's chimney, and bear paws were being roasted in a big pot in the house.
In the Zhao family's house, beef was stewing in the pot.
At the same time, Yang Yufeng was cooking donkey meat at home, Xu Chunyan was braising horse meat at home, Zhao Ling was stewing chicken with mushrooms at home, the old lady was stewing goose in an iron pot at home, and Jie Sunshi next door was stewing duck with dried potatoes.
The women took the meat and vegetables home one by one, and Zhao Youcai cooked them at their homes.
After Zhao Youcai left, the women watched the fire at home.
In the outer room of the Zhao family, Wang Meilan was cutting pickled cabbage and Zhao Chun was peeling onions.
"Mom!" Zhao Chun said to Wang Meilan with a smile, "New Year's celebrations in our home were not this lively before!"
"What were our conditions then? What are our conditions now?" Wang Meilan said with emotion: "Let's not talk about anything else. If our family had these conditions before you got married, you would have seen how Mom would help you!"
"Haha." Zhao Chun laughed and thought, "If you do this to me, how can my in-laws dare to marry me?"
"Girl!" Suddenly, Wang Meilan stared at Zhao Chun and said, "I seemed to see you wearing a gold bracelet the other day?"
"Oh, it's in my pocket, Mom." Zhao Chun said with a smile, "Bacon, can I still wear a gold bracelet?"
"Why not?" Wang Meilan raised her hand and showed her eldest daughter the gold ring on her hand, saying, "You can't always take it off."
"I can't wear it normally." Zhao Chun said, "My family is very considerate. When he saw me wearing that, he masturbated."
"Hey!" Wang Meilan smiled when she heard that, and said, "My eldest grandson takes after our family in this respect."
"Haha..." Zhao Chun was amused by Wang Meilan, and then he heard Wang Meilan say: "My eldest grandson likes it, his grandmother will make him another one."
"Ah?" Zhao Chun was startled, then shook his head and said, "Mom, this won't work! If you give this to me, won't it be his in the future?"
Wang Meilan smiled faintly and did not talk about this topic anymore. Instead, she asked Zhao Chun: "How many days can my daughter stay at home this time?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, Mom." When Zhao Chun came, he really wanted to stay for two days and then go back, but the atmosphere here was really too good.
"Then stay for two more days." Wang Meilan said with a smile, "You can live in my house. Whatever you want to eat, Mom can cook it for you."
"I'm afraid my mother-in-law won't be happy." Zhao Chun whispered, "I came out today under the guise of being on TV."
When the seven families were preparing for the banquet, a group of Zhao troops had already arrived in the Bojiweizi where they had captured Yi'er alive that day.
Just a quick shot here, and then a random interview with the security guard who accompanied Zhao Jun in capturing the tiger that day.
Since it is random, it depends on Su Xianglian's wishes.
The first person she interviewed was Xie Chen.
There was no other reason for this, it was mainly because Jie Chen had been helping them get things.
"Security officer, what's your name?" Su Xianglian asked. Xie Chen said, "I don't need to be called Xie. My name is Xie Chen."
When he said this, Xie Chen's body trembled slightly with excitement. If this is broadcasted, wouldn't everyone know about Xie Chen and others?
"Security Officer Jie, can you tell me what you saw when you rushed here that day?"
"When I came here the other day, I saw the hunting dogs of our Zhao family gang..."
"Stop!" Su Xianglian's face changed and she quickly called for a stop.
Liu Guihai was at a loss, while Xie Chen was completely confused.
"Security officer Jie." Su Xianglian asked Jie Chen, "What kind of organization is the Zhao Family Gang you just mentioned?"
There is one more chapter, but it will be late. Brothers, go to bed first, don't wait, and read it tomorrow morning.
