Chapter 795 Leisure Chapter (2)
Seeing Liu Jingxue's eyes light up when she mentioned eating the pig-killing dish, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Kid, why do you like eating the pig-killing dishes in the team so much?
When you guys bring back prey, I’ve made blood sausage and pig-killing dishes, but I didn’t see you like them very much.” Wang Xiulan said with a smile.
Without waiting for Liu Jingxue to answer, Zou Lao spoke first, "Don't talk about Xiaoxue, I want that too.
I don’t know why, but even though we put more ingredients into the pig-killing dishes we made ourselves, the taste was really different from the ones distributed by the production team.”
"I feel the same way." Mr. Wu also nodded.
Although Liu Weihua didn't say anything, his expression said it all.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Looking at everyone's performance, there was nothing Wang Xiulan didn't understand.
She said helplessly, “Then there’s nothing I can do.
The pig-killing dish I made followed the method that the aunties and aunties in the village taught Xiaoxue, step by step.
The steps and ingredients are the same, why does it taste different?
Is it possible that my cooking skills are not as good as those of the aunties and aunties in the village? "
"It shouldn't be a matter of craftsmanship." Zhou Mingxuan said, "Auntie's craftsmanship is better than anyone else in the village.
As for why they can’t make the same taste, maybe they have some secret recipe that they don’t tell others about.”
Zhao Junhao said with a strong desire to survive, "I think so too.
Otherwise, why is it that the taste is different when Aunt Liu’s cooking skills are better than theirs, even though they use the same method? "
Wang Xiulan thought thoughtfully, "It is really possible.
I heard that most craftsmen, even when teaching apprentices, will keep some of their skills back.
Maybe the aunties in the production team really have some secrets that they haven’t told Xiaoxue.”
After sighing, Wang Xiulan said, "It's a pity that I can't go over when the production team is preparing the pig-killing meal.
If I could get through, I would definitely run to the kitchen and watch to see what they are hiding."
The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener took it seriously. Zhou Mingxuan started to think about it in his mind.
Aunt Liu can't go there, but it should be no problem for him to go there.
Xiaoxue likes to eat slaughtered pig dishes so much, so I have to learn the cooking skills.
Although the people who prepare the pig-killing dishes are all female comrades in the production team, most of them are aunts and aunties.
Of course, some young wives and girls in the production team would also help there.
But there were so many people around, and as long as he didn't get too close to them, there shouldn't be any gossip.
Besides, those who have mastered the secret must be older people. He just needs to keep an eye on those aunties and uncles. There is no need to hang out with young girls.
As for hanging out with aunts and uncles, they would pull him along to chat with gossip, act as matchmakers for him, and try to introduce girls from their own family or relatives' families to him.
Zhou Mingxuan said that after more than a year, thanks to his unremitting efforts, the aunts and aunts in the village have given up this idea.
Even the brave young female comrades in the team stopped deliberately approaching him after being warned by their families.
But he is a human being after all, and it is not good for him to always hang out among aunts and aunties.
Zhou Mingxuan's eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhao Junhao who was grinning foolishly beside him, and he thought it would be better to bring him along.
This man was sweet-talker and was popular among the aunts and sisters-in-law in the production team.
As for this person's displeasure, Zhou Mingxuan showed a sly smile on his face. He had a lot of leverage in his hands, so he had no choice but to agree.
Since Liu Jianjun made up his mind to observe Zhou Mingxuan carefully, he has been keeping an eye on him.
For some reason, he was suddenly laughing alone, and that laugh gave people a malicious feeling, as if his brain had been frozen outside.
The next afternoon, the three of them arrived at Liu Jingxue's house on time to learn martial arts from her.
"Have you two changed the poultry?" Liu Jingxue asked them before they started.
She wanted to wait until the two of them had exchanged and knew the limited number for each person before deciding how many to take from the space and send to the cowshed.
And after the two people have changed, they will not go over to ask whether they have asked the team to change.
Zhao Junhao said first, "Let's go change.
Originally, the limit for each household was two. Mingxuan and I live together, so we are considered a family and can exchange a maximum of two.
We just asked the captain for mercy, saying that we were going home for the New Year and wanted to bring some gifts back, so could we be allowed to exchange a little more? "
"Does the captain agree?" Liu Jingxue asked quickly.
Although the captain is a principled person, he is still quite humane.
In addition, the two of them had helped the production team sell goods this year and had made considerable contributions, so Liu Jingxue didn't think the team leader would reject them.
Zhou Mingxuan nodded, "The captain agreed.
They were just worried that others would complain after knowing this, so they didn’t dare let us change too many. They just separated us and allowed each of us to change two, so we were allowed to change four in total.
So we exchanged for two chickens, a duck and a goose.
When we go there later, let’s go home first and take the things over.”
“What’s the point of sending it there? Aren’t you going home for the New Year? Why don’t you take it back to Beijing?
Although you will bring back a lot of bacon, domesticated ones are different from wild ones.
Besides, there are no geese in the wild." Liu Jingxue was surprised again.
"No, we'll eat what we get in return.
As for the ones we took back to Beijing, we had already ordered them from the villagers and asked them to take care of them for us so we could pick them up when we left.
Anyway, we are allowed to bring live chickens, ducks and geese on the train, so we can take them back and let them kill them themselves."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she thought it was a good idea.
The next morning, Liu Jingxue went to the cowshed and delivered a chicken, a duck and a goose.
This was naturally not exchanged from the production team. She had a lot of them in her space, so there was no need to change production teams.
I just told them that it was exchanged from the production team.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were able to get four, and she only got three. Given her position in the production team, she would not arouse suspicion from others.
To be on the safe side, Liu Jingxue also gave the team leader a hint that if anyone asked him whether she had exchanged poultry from the production team, she should tell them that she had.
In the afternoon, the four of them gathered at Liu Jingxue's home to practice martial arts. From outside, they could faintly hear the sound of a gong and someone shouting.
It's just that he was too far away, so I couldn't hear clearly what he was shouting.
After a while, the sound of the gong became closer and closer, as if it turned into the path leading to her home.
"I'm afraid the team sent someone to notify the whole village about something," Zhao Junhao guessed.
Zhou Mingxuan said, "Isn't it to notify everyone to gather and divide the money?
It has been three days since the last batch of poultry was shipped away, which is enough time for the captain and his men to settle their accounts.”
"Probably.
You guys practice here, I'll go out and take a look."
After Liu Jingxue finished speaking, she ran to open the gate and planned to go out and take a look.
The snow in the yard had been cleared long ago. It hadn't snowed in the past two days, so she had also cleared a path outside.
This is to prevent me from always running to the cowshed, and those three people from always running here, and being discovered by their footprints.
Not long after I walked out, I saw Zhang Jianguo, who was wrapped tightly, walking towards me while beating a gong.
"Brother Zhang, what are you telling us?" Liu Jingxue spoke first.
"Xiaoxue, let me tell you something. Tomorrow the production team will slaughter a pig and distribute the meat, vegetables, and money. It will be over at the canteen.
Remember to go and get it."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she realized that it was indeed a division of money.
But what I didn’t expect was that the team leader and his men would even let the pigs be slaughtered on this day to save trouble.
Come to think of it, in such a cold day, no one would want to make two trips.
"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Brother Zhang, for coming over to inform me." Liu Jingxue quickly thanked him.
"Now that you know, I'll go back first. You live at the end of the village, and you'll be the last one to be notified.
It's very cold, and you don't seem to be wearing much. Xiaoxue, you should go back quickly."
