My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

When cooked, thinly sliced ​​pork slices are dipped in garlic sauce and eaten.

The women told each other: "Cut it thinner, otherwise it won't be enough."

The men passing by heard: "If it's too thin, it won't be able to be clamped, so why can't you go out and eat both pigs?"

The old men pounding garlic in the oil shed couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. What good things were they thinking of? Giving up a pig to feed the entire village was something that had never happened in decades.

If there is one pig left, the pig's head must be removed to worship the ancestors. It would be great if one hundred and sixteen households could share two kilograms of meat.

That's it, our pigs are raised well. We bring back a lot of oil and slop from the shop every day, and both of them are considered big fat pigs.

The big bone stick stewed with sauerkraut has been stewed, and the strong working women are waving their arms to stir-fry cabbage and fungus, while snowflakes fall on the pot.

There were more than a dozen old ladies nearby who were stirring the pig blood with sorghum stalks to prevent it from coagulating.

Finally, I finally heard the voice of Liu Laozhu returning from far and near with a group of strong men.

Liu Laozhu missed the most lively scene. Many people who were far away said: "The official is here to give New Year's gifts to the boss."

Liu Laozhu was dressed like a mountain eagle, and his cotton shoes were covered with ice. He asked the Xu family: "When did it happen? Why did you come to visit me when I am not at home? Isn't this nonsense?"

Did the Xu family have time to answer Liu Lizheng? They had to take their half-grown children to each house to collect firewood, and they also had to carry back two pieces of rice and large pancakes on a load.

Xu Tianxin didn't have time to answer Grandpa Li Zheng. She had long since changed out of her pig-killing clothes and became a respectable child again. Her sister Yueyue was washing her clothes at home.

But she herself was holding warm sleeves in her hands, and her little mouth was constantly moving. There were a group of children under the age of six surrounding her, and their mouths were also moving.

Pork liver is delicious when you break it into pieces while it's hot right out of the pot. If you cut it with a kitchen knife, it won't taste the same.

The men who came back later did not bother to warm their hands and feet by the fire, so they picked the newly picked fish into small pieces and poured them into the basin. They were afraid that the pork was not enough, so we braised the small fish with more sauce.

The big ones should be kept in bags and put on the scale. If the varieties are particularly good, the Xu family will take them to the shop and freeze them for the guests to stew. Usually the fish will be left in the village to make cotton-like meat floss.

The Xu family settled on the spot.

Even the three members of Xu's family have to participate in this kind of collective shift-caught fish. You can join the shift if you don't have time, but you have to go. No one can escape to make money, and all the income goes to the village committee.

When a lot of money is saved, the village committee will give everyone some wages per household according to their work points. If the money is small, they will simply not pay it and buy some things that the village needs, and those people who buy them will also use their help.

Not to mention things like the triangle for clearing snow in the village, the glaciers and newly made fishing nets for fishing, and the newly purchased wood and lanterns for next year's boat building.

It is only said that even the red paper couplets to be posted on the doors of every house this year, one set for each household, are paid for by the village. Each family buys red paper to stick on the inner door.

Isn't that right? While many villagers were busy waiting for the meal to be served, they were saying to Liu Jingdong, "Boy, you should help everyone write couplets."

"Ah? Why don't you find Tian Xin'er."

"People are busy with business, but you have nothing to do."

The so-called business is not that Xu Tianxin is busy making money during the Chinese New Year, but that there are too many villagers working in the Xu family. Everyone has heard about it from Mrs. Xu a long time ago, like tonight, like tomorrow In the morning, the number of people on duty to take care of the merchants needs to be increased, but the Xu family needs to have more people, because Tian Xin'er needs to burn paper, the Dapeng brothers also need to burn paper, Mrs. Xu has to go to the grave to eat, and the three sons have to burn paper tomorrow morning. Drive to Xujiazhuang to worship ancestors.

The Fourth Master was greeting Liu Laozhu: "Come into the shed and warm yourself up." He suddenly patted Liu Laozhu on the shoulder with emotion: "You can have a rest today and have a drink with your father and me. You After eating, go to the shop, chat with the guests, and ask them what they need for the New Year in our village, and we will do our best to satisfy them. Then you..."

Again and again, is this called rest?

Yes, this is already over for Liu Laozhu.

"Come on, come on, Fourth Uncle, Seventh Uncle, uncles from the village are all seated. We, the men, will help with the cooking. Dad? I'm calling you. Stop looking around and drink while it's hot. My brother won't be back today. I'm here." There are donkeys for sale in town.”

Father Liu had a smile on his face, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He was not looking at his third son. It was normal for them to be busy making money and not go home during the good times and bad days.

He felt bad because of Zhuzi, because his grandson from Fucheng didn't come back. I heard from Jingdong that he went to Fucheng to sell goods and went to see his brother at night when he had nothing to do. It turned out to be so late, and his brother didn't come home.

I really don’t understand why a grocery store owner can’t run a good business. I heard that he got involved with a housekeeper from a wealthy family and worked together.

But at this time, it seems that the eldest grandson will not come back to celebrate the New Year. What kind of child is this? It was okay not to coax him because he was angry with his father, but he didn’t expect that even his wife and children would not come back to celebrate the New Year.

As the first group of people sat down to have a banquet and drink in the shed, more and more people gathered, and it became cold even without the fire.

Xu Tianxin didn't serve the food at all. She was already full, and the children were not qualified to serve it, so she, Chunfang and Hongzao were distributing pickled cabbage soup and a piece of rice with meat to their younger siblings.

Dozens of children squatted on three levels inside and outside the bonfire, playing and laughing and eating deliciously. Their little faces were red from the cold and they were holding their rice bowls, but they didn't mind the cold.

"Oh, it smells so good. Sister, I'll give you the pickled vegetable dumplings."

There are still many people who have to wait for the second round, and the third round is when the first group finishes eating and returns to work in the shop.

Isn't that right? Xu Youyin is calling Tian Xin: "Let's go."

Xu Tianxin just wanted to replace the cashier's aunt, and also bring some food to Grandpa Guan and the table full of grandma. Grandpa Guan is making medicine for people with colds in the shop. Grandpa Guan doesn’t like drinking either.

Xu Tianxin saw a figure in the distance and shouted to his uncle: "Wait a minute."

Xu Tianxin personally helped Grandpa Gao, who had returned to the village, into the shed.

"Grandpas, don't forget to drink with us, Grandpa Gao."

Then we must give the child face: "Oh, Lao Gao, why are you here?"

"I just finished burning the paper, and I didn't help anyone with any work. You said this is a big deal, but I didn't do anything to help you when I came here."

Gao Mantang and his wife were afraid that their ancestors and children would have no money to buy new year's goods underground, and they were also worried that occupying crossroads to burn paper at night would hinder the villagers of Erdaohe, so they wanted to finish burning it earlier before arriving late.

Liu Laozhu was sitting at the head table, obviously drunk. He grabbed Lao Gao with one hand and squeezed him to sit next to him. At the same time, he didn't forget to ask Xu Tianxin: "Where is your nanny, there is no trace again, and you are too naughty." Why don’t you come?”

Tai Nai was afraid that many of the things given by the officials would be stolen, so she became petty again.

It has also changed, because Tai Nai covered her mouth and said with a smile, she was already greedy for eating at home. As for the meat, her ribs have not grown well and it will not come to make trouble. It is better to look in the bronze mirror at home and look at herself. What does one look like. Find some more work. When New Year's Eve comes, my daughter-in-law is busy, so she is asked to do more of the work at home.

As for Mrs. Xu, Xu Tianxin told the heavyweight village committee members at the head table: "My grandma is talking to Grandma Tian and others who are about to set off."
