Chapter 269: It is enough to report this point (two chapters in one)

When Zhao Dashan saw the cavalry approaching, he hurriedly waved his hand to signal the government officials to step aside and let the cavalry go first. He instinctively saluted and stood at attention with his fists clasped.

This is the rare thing about Zhao Dashan.

He had spent many years in the military camp of the Huo Family Army branch, and he knew deeply the significance of the rank of a general, and he respected it in his heart.

Perhaps the people in the town still habitually believe that the local officials are their boss.

But don't forget, this is under the jurisdiction of Zhenbei General Mansion.

The general of Zhenbei is above all else, and the household registration books of the common people have been changed in the past two days, with the seal of the Zhenbei officer in front. Therefore, his small town pavilion is nothing more than a small clerk compared to the real generals in the big camp.

Let’s see whose New Year’s gift the other party carries?

Zhao Dashan's first lesson when he joined the army seven years ago was to identify flags, examine golden drums, and first understand the differences between flags. He recognized through the general's flag that it was General Jia, whom he had never dreamed of seeing in his life. He was at the top and he was at the bottom.

There is also the private flag of a generation of female general Lu Yan.

In particular, General Lu's New Year's gift car is the most eye-catching. The private flag flutters in the wind, makes the sound of hunting, and is embroidered with official totems. It can be seen at a glance that it is not afraid of the common people guessing whose home it is sent to.

What Zhao Dashan didn't know was that the lead car could actually raise a flag made of yak tail, the flag of the top local general. This operation was indeed low-key.

The government officials stood in the snowy sky, looking at Zhao Zhenting with their eyes and noses, noses and noses, and their hearts lowered.

It turned out that when the government officials first saw the cavalry, they even thought about asking the town pavilion to come forward and ask for directions. If they wanted to escort the goods to the town, so that both parties would have to travel less, they would exchange goods with each other. chant?

However, as the cavalry approached and the carriages passed in front of them in the snow, everyone was so stunned that they did not even dare to look up at the good news.

Later, when the government officials returned and found out that it was a New Year's gift and it was sent to the Xu family, they were all shocked and speechless for a long time.

Has the relationship reached this point?

Rather than the Xu family having good luck, Miss Xu took advantage of her status as a woman, making it easier for the female general to get close to her and get in touch with her and sell her goods to the camp?

Seriously underestimated.

The newly recruited young government officials finally understood why their old government officials said on their first day of duty that they should not show off when they went to Erdaohe to deliver messages, and just talk normally. Just do that and you'll be at peace.

Don't just go there and spread the word half-heartedly just because the people in that village are easy to talk to, and make people come to the town for nothing. Don't be tempted to do so. Or if you can finish it all in one go, if you have to boast about your identity and tell half of it, and think that the villagers will beg you to speak again, then you are doing the wrong thing, and no one can protect you if you go home in a panic.

At that time, they only thought it was the relationship between the Xu family and Zhao Zhenting.

Knowing Zhenting, calling her uncle would give Miss Xu a lot of status.

Although there are many legends, it is said that the Xu family has a broad network and a strong family background and earns a lot of money. It is said that Miss Xu's dowry amounted to 500 taels of silver.

But it feels like no matter what, it's not that far away from them. It's not to the point of being unattainable. After all, I feel that I am very promising and capable, and I am a young man with a decent salary.

So not long ago, they even said in private with a smile that Miss Xu was wearing something again when she went into the city, and they didn't know who it would be. And the ambitious ones couldn't help but get close to Ms. Xu when she came to the treatment center, while the timid ones would also take a peek.

When I realized that I had underestimated everything, I just felt scared. From now on, no matter the wealth of the Xu family or Miss Xu, I can no longer talk nonsense behind my back.

However, if the young yamen officials knew that Miss Xu was killing pigs at this time, they would still be unable to help but talk about it.

How does a girl manage to be so polite and write deeds and play with flowers and plants, but also be so lively and lively as to catch pigs and move the white knife in and out with the red knife?

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, but it cannot resist the enthusiasm of Erdaohe people to eat from a big pot.

Oil sheds were set up one by one.

The large table borrowed from each family has been set up, and each family provides five sauerkraut, four cabbage, garlic, green onions and coriander in pots.

Ten firewood cauldrons were boiling hot water, and there were two buckets of soaked fungus next to them.

These two barrels of fungus came from Liu Laozhu's family.

The Xu family provides all the salt for cooking.

The Wan family produces soy sauce, and the Cao family produces vinegar. The Wang family, the Meizhuang family, the Sun family, the fourth uncle's family and the seventh uncle's family who sell box lunches all produce miso.

Today's big pot rice menu includes blood sausage and pork liver dipped in garlic sauce, small fish stewed in sauce, cabbage with vinegar and fungus, and pork stewed with sauerkraut.

As for the staple food, those who can afford it can provide ten kilograms of rice or millet, and everyone plans to go out of their way to stew two pieces of rice. If you don't live a good life, you will be willing to give up. If you don't give up, there will be no gain.

In particular, these shop owners are more open-minded. They don't have New Year's gifts to distribute to the villagers, because every time they go out, the car has to be full and the goods have to be sold for money. Xu Tianxin is not as decent as Xu Tianxin. But if there are no New Year gifts, why don’t you reward your hard work with food and drinks? It’s a token of appreciation for your hard work at the end of the year.

What is incompetent is to impose a mandatory requirement of one pound of white flour or two pounds of cornmeal.

To be honest, no one is embarrassed to say that they can't afford this small amount of food. Everyone is watching, and they know who in your family does what job and how much they earn. That's the bad thing about working together. It's too transparent. Open your mouth and tell the truth. Being blind is easy to expose, and you are too embarrassed to eat meat.

So no matter what the reason is, the staple food of two rice and big pancakes can be gathered together very quickly.

As for what was not enough, the fourth uncle waved his hand and said, "Don't eat too much." He was laughed at by everyone and made the respected old man's face turn red with shame. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Please give me more in the village."

Once, the village said that it would build houses for needy elderly people and give out some rice to make rice paste for newborns. Although everyone was excited at the meeting at the time, when the cold wind blew later, they thought it was bragging.

But I don’t know when it started to appear in the village.

Isn't that right? The villagers who stayed behind in the village went crazy. Some men even took out the Shiwei grass they had accumulated and drank it as tea when it tasted like tea. The old men took out the wine with great care.

Everyone carried tables, stools and firewood from each house. Afraid of the cold in the oil shed, a charcoal basin was set up and the roof of the shed was covered with jade grass. At this moment, the children suddenly ran back from the river and said: "Grandpa Lizheng, Wangjiacun across the street is smashing pots, right at the junction with Jiangyan in our village. They are all picking pots there. What do you mean? Drying the pot? Shall we go and take advantage?"

The so-called "dry pot" means that the river freezes in winter, and after the water dries up, the fish are left underneath. The scene is like an archaeological site, and piles of fish can be pulled out directly from the ice. And if this fish is not caught, it will pollute the river water next spring because it has already frozen to death.

When Liu Laozhu heard this, he thought that if he could not take advantage of this kind of thing, he would have to step in, so he waved off most of the men.

Xu Laoer and the others were on the road and hadn't arrived home yet. Besides, there were a lot of people working shifts at the shop, and there were a lot of people from other villages taking a bath. In the end, the people catching pigs were old men looking at each other.

The old men looked at the snowy sky and the bubbling hot water that was waiting for their hair to fade. They rolled up their sleeves and planned to catch pigs to prove that their swords never fade.

Keren, you have to serve your age.

Xu Tianxin was already blind when he arrived, and a group of grandmas also looked with disgust at the grandfathers who slipped and fell without even touching the pig tails, and some fell into the pig pen and rode the pigs all over the village.

It took more than 20 people to hold down a pig, but where was the knife? The knife was thrown away again.

Xu Tianxin picked up the knife in the snowdrift, looked at the squealing pig that was finally held down, then changed hands and started to run away again, so he simply stepped forward and started killing the pig neatly.

Grandpas and grandmas washing vegetables: "..."

The three Xu family members, Liu Jingdong and others who happened to enter the village were smiling so big that they forgot to take it back: "..."

This situation, coupled with the snow falling in the distance, made Liu Jingdong suddenly want to recite a poem:

The wind blows the waves of wheat and the fragrance of rice flowers, and at this time the pig is panicked.

There are queues at the oil shed in the village, just for the meat sharing party.

Although pork is expensive, the hard work is worth it.

It’s very tiring when you get angry in a hurry, so it’s okay to eat something or drink something.

It's not that people are cruel and pigs are enemies, it's just that oil and water can't wait.

Tian Xin aimed at Da Tao Xin'er and let out a miserable scream.

The flesh was divided and dissected, and several people poured boiling water on it.

Three layers of five-flowered sauerkraut stew, and a bowl of blood sausage and bone sticks.

The whole village will build it together, and let the elders go around in circles first.

Forget the fatigue of a year, God will favor the farmers!

Liu Jingdong didn't care about anything else. He ran into a piece of snow and pulled a tree branch from the side of the road. The snowflakes falling from the branch made his head turn white. He started writing on the snow with the tree branch.

The three uncles of the Xu family almost fainted from fright. They hurriedly abandoned the bullock cart and ran towards their niece.

Their niece was still laughing heartlessly with her hands on her hips.

The strong young men who returned took over the task of killing the second pig, but they had to admit that the facts proved that no one could beat Xu Tianxin's white knife entering and exiting with a red knife.

Look, unloading the meat is even better.

The three uncles are worried. Who will dare to marry their niece in the future? No, who would dare to mess with their niece in the future? Pretty good too.

Xu Tianxin was unloading the first fat pig. He was wearing an apron belonging to an unknown grandmother, and the cotton hat on his head was also worn crookedly.

She was marking the back skin of the pork, trying to cut each piece of meat with an error of only two or three ounces.

And when the meat was being unloaded, Xu Tianxin couldn't hide his excitement on his face.

After all, pigs can be killed directly, but people will still be alive after killing them.

And as a decomposer, you don’t have to sew the pig back after cutting it. It’s really cool. This time, you don’t have to stuff it back after you finally take it out.

When Mrs. Xu took advantage of the light to get back into the carriage and enter the village with Yue Guard and his troops, she almost slipped and fell when she saw her granddaughter in such a state.

The face and hands were all covered in blood, but the children were not afraid and even screamed and ran around the bloody pork. Sister Tian Xin was so awesome.

Mrs. Xu patted her thigh: "Grandma, you are studying medicine, not killing pigs."

Yue Huwei looked at Xu Tianxin in the distance and thought:

If you don’t know what to report, report what you witnessed.

During the New Year in Erdaohe, two caravans came to stay.

Xu Tianxin kills pigs in the snow.
