Back to the Red Age

Chapter 191: Divide the meat and add extra meals

With Deputy Director Li, Uncle Ma can only open the door.

"Uncle, hurry up, we have to rush back." Qin Ming shouted, and then jumped on the carriage. Li Hongbing could only smile apologetically at Uncle Ma, "I'm sorry, uncle, let's talk back!"

Uncle Ma went to close the door angrily.

"Why did you provoke him?" Deputy Director Li looked at Qin Ming funny, "Uncle Ma has never been like this before."

"This old man is too small-minded, let's not talk about him anymore, let's do business first."

The carriage went straight to the back door of the canteen. Qin Ming jumped out of the car first and signaled to Li Hongbing and the others to lift the grass on the carriage.

"There are so many sheep, they look so fat!"

Deputy Director Li could hardly move his eyes away, "You guys wait here, I'll call someone to move things."

Deputy Director Li entered the room, and soon many helpers came out. Zhang Xiaowan also came out, and he saw Qin Ming at a glance, "Sixth Brother, why are you here?"

"Director, there are only two thousand kilograms of black flour and three thousand kilograms of corn flour there. Why not add the one thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes that were delivered yesterday? What do you think?" Director Zhang did not leave immediately, but smiled. He carefully speculated on the thoughts of Deputy Director Li. He had heard of Qin Ming's name before he came here. Now he finally met this powerful man. He had to leave a good impression on him no matter what. After all, he was going out to the steel rolling mill. Some college students may come back to work as cadres after graduation, so they still have to make good friends in advance.

"Brother, the meat now has a price but no market. You are thinking about your brother. How can he let you suffer? Besides, this old boy is still counting on you to give him advice." Director Li laughed and scolded Director Zhang. Director Zhang did not refute and went directly to prepare.

"Brother, is this really okay? Don't make a mistake." Although I know that Deputy Director Li is bold, is this too much? It seems that I still have to keep a proper distance from this guy in the future.

It doesn't matter if you don't have enough to eat at ordinary times, but if you don't have enough to eat when working, it will affect the harvest.

"Director Zhang, our farmer brothers are sending us meat, and we can't let the farmer brothers feel cold. You go and get the next batch of grain for the brothers. This is a small favor from our factory. Please don't refuse." Each one weighs more than 900 kilograms. It seems that these sheep are really fat, and Deputy Director Li is even more happy.

"I'm delivering things with my uncle and the others. How are your cooking skills these days?" This junior girl has a poor foundation, but she is the most hard-working. After chatting with her for a few words, Qin Ming was called away by Deputy Director Li.

Back at the commune, Qin Ming got off the carriage under the big tree. There were three sheep at home, waiting for him to go back and deal with them.

"Director, we have weighed them. There are eleven in total, weighing 986 kilograms. I thought that our farmer brothers should not have to work hard, so I rounded up and took a thousand kilograms."

In the canteen director's office, Deputy Director Li was filled with bitterness. It wasn't until the director entered the room that he calmed down.

Qin Mingxin agreed to round things off, and it seems that this new Director Zhang is even better than the previous one.

"Uncle, we have three sheep at home. Don't send the other half over. Kill it and cook a pot for everyone to come and have a meal."

"Don't worry, I know this well, and the boss is taking care of it." Deputy Factory Director Li smiled and started chatting with Qin Ming. He also wanted to let Qin Ming eat in the factory, but Qin Ming refused. He lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, I still have sheep at home and I have to rush back to deal with them."

However, Li Hongbing and the others did not intend to distribute the grain. The three of them quickly discussed it. Except that the family was really poor and had no grain, so they could borrow grain in advance. The commune cooked the food and distributed it to everyone.

"Good brother, you have to be the best to your brother. You don't know that the recent reception has really upset me. Now, with so many sheep, not only can the small canteen be able to prepare a few good meals, Yes, even the big stove can serve meat. The meat is really in short supply recently. If it weren’t for my connection, we wouldn’t even be able to get the meat. This wouldn’t even be enough for a small canteen, let alone a big stove.”

"Ming, our commune owes you another big favor."

Six thousand kilograms of grain, plus some wild vegetables, is enough to feed the entire commune for more than ten days.

"We can't let it go today. Well, let's have a drink together another day if we have the opportunity." Deputy Director Li did not refuse, but just told Qin Ming to think of him if he had such an opportunity in the future.

"This can't be done, brother, there are too many." Although it was for coarse grains, the ratio was already one to six, which was not suitable no matter what, so Qin Ming immediately guessed that the canteen director had his own little Jiujiu.

"This kid is a very particular person and will be able to do great things in the future." Li Hongbing and the others were silent. Only when they are hungry can they better understand who is a good person and who is a villain.

Zhang Xiaowan ran over happily.

After coming out of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Li Hongbing and others were in disbelief.

"Principal Wu is right. Having Qin Ming is a blessing to our commune."

"We need to tell everyone about this later. Qin Ming helped us, we can't let him feel cold."

The assembly whistle sounded, and the members working in the fields called it a day.

"Why did you finish work so early today?"

"I guess I have something to inform you."

When the members returned to the field and saw the sheep, everyone was excited.

A shelf has been set up in the open space at the venue, and the butchers are ready with their sharp knives.

"Comrade members, we can eat meat today."

After Li Hongbing finished speaking, there was a wave of applause.

"How does this meat come from? Let our Vice President Zhang tell you."

Zhang Hu immediately told everyone how Qin Ming hunted meat and how it was distributed.

"Everyone must be wondering why there are only five of them here even though they are eighteen and a half. That's because the others have been replaced with food through the introduction of Brother Qin Ming."

"At the same time, Comrade Qin Ming also took out half of his own sheep and treated everyone to meat and soup. Let us give Comrade Qin Ming applause."

Qin Ming is naturally not here at the moment, but the Qin family is here. When she heard this honor, Qin's mother's heart was as scratchy as a cat. "Comrade Qin Ming is capable, and he is willing to care about you and help everyone. You must remember this kindness. If anyone does something like a wolf in the future, I, Li Hongbing, will be the first to be spared. he."

The Wang brothers and the other two men lowered their heads.

The past two days have been nothing short of a nightmare for them. They have a sign hanging on their body, and no matter where they go, the commune members are pointing at them and scolding them, and there are also children throwing shit at them. Whenever they want to fight back, all The members of the commune would unite and beat them up. The four of them had already received countless beatings. The most important thing was that their wives did not want to see them and did not even give them a bed at night...

"Whoever can't open the pot later can register with Accountant Wang to borrow grain. At the same time, I also announced that during the harvest period, everyone will come to the field department to eat in the canteen."

Screams, applause, and whistles sounded together, and Li Hongbing's voice was drowned.

After everyone stopped, Li Hongbing continued: "After eating the meat and sharing the food, I shut my mouth tightly."

"No news is allowed outside our commune. If I hear any news outside, don't blame me, Li Hongbing, for being ruthless. I can only expel people from our commune."

After some beating and intimidation, Li Hongbing finally announced the operation. Everyone gathered around the pig butcher and watched him at work, talking and smiling. However, Lao Qin's family hurried home and gave away half the sheep. Give it away, how wasteful it is.

But when they got home and saw the three sheep with their skins removed in the yard, everyone didn't know what to say.

"Yaoyao, why did you leave so much meat? We can't finish it in a while?"

"Mom, there's not much meat here. After removing the internal organs and bones, there's only about a hundred kilograms left in total." Qin Ming lowered his head and was busy, the knife in his hand never stopping for a moment.

Everyone in the Qin family twitched at the corners of their mouths. More than a hundred kilograms of meat was just a piece of meat.

The way their baby bump talks is really scary.

"Don't worry, mom. We have a large family and we need to supplement our nutrition. It's good to eat more meat. And if we can't finish it, we can also make it into jerky. The weather has been nice recently, so it's suitable for making jerky. We can make it later when we can eat it. Steam it in a pot, and it will taste good whether with wine or rice."

That is to say, the system space cannot be exposed, otherwise Qin Ming will not use this method, but the dried meat is done and it tastes really good.

"Okay, let's make jerky. Boss and youngest, you guys go and help and let your little brother rest. After a day of hunting in the mountains, he still has to take people to the steel rolling mill. How tired he is!"

"Mom, I'm going to pour water for my little brother." Wang Limei quickly ran to the kitchen, scooped a ladle of cool well water and poured it into Qin Ming's special enamel jar. After thinking about it, she added two spoons of sugar into it, "Little brother Drink quickly, sugar well water, it’s refreshing and can dispel the heat.”

"Thank you, Sister-in-law." Qin Ming did not refuse. Today's well water is pure natural. Unlike the water in later generations that has been polluted and must be boiled before it can be eaten, the current well water is not polluted at all. In the summer, It was very hot outside, and when I got home, I poured a ladle of water from the well, which made my heart cool. I was careful to add sugar, and it tasted better. Although Qin Ming didn't like the taste very much, he didn't displease Wang Limei. Kindly, he took the teapot and took a sip.

"It's hot now, Mom, let me give you a fan."

Qin's mother took out a rice dumpling leaf fan, which Qin's father made when he took Qin Dashan to farm. It is most suitable for keeping cool when the weather is hot.

Qin's mother fanned Qin Ming dotingly on the side. Qin Dashan and Qin Sanniu were both handling the three sheep, while Qin's father silently took out the maza, turned the sheepskin over, and scraped it with a knife. got up.

"These sheepskins are good. They will be warm when made into sheepskin coats. Once the tanning is completed, mother will make one for us." Qin's mother was thinking happily.

Qin Ming's eyebrows jumped when he heard that. With his current cultivation level, he is almost not afraid of the cold and heat, but he knows that the winter in Sijiu City is very cold now, especially in the past few years, when the weather has been dry, the snow has turned cold in winter. With a swish, he was a bit colder than before, "Mom, I don't need it. I am young and angry now, so there is no need for this thing. You and dad can make one each, and I will also give you leggings." Do it, don't get old cold legs, it will be troublesome."

After talking for a while, Qin Wuni went home from work. She was processing mutton in the martial arts school cafeteria. When she came back, she brought three lunch boxes of braised mutton.

"Wuni, why did you bring so much today?" Wang Limei was surprised when she opened the lunch box.

"This is a special order from the principal. He said he would bring it back to the younger brother to try." Qin Wuni pursed her lips. It was obvious that she was very happy because of the honor given by the principal.

"Hey, our old Qin family has so many happy events today!" Qin's mother suddenly smiled. Her family is so promising, the commune and the martial arts school are all praising it. It's not in vain for her to raise such a son. I didn't give up on treating this child no matter what I said.

With the addition of Qin Wuni as a cook, the Qin brothers moved much faster. After a while, Qin Sihuo and Qin Erni also came back, making the house even more lively.

"Uncle, is it better to eat braised mutton or dried mutton?"

"Uncle..."

Cuicui and Zhaodi were the liveliest, chattering around Qin Ming all the time. Qin Ming also happily played with the two little girls, and stayed with them patiently until a group of boys came into the courtyard after school, "Uncle! "

As soon as Tiepi entered the courtyard, he rushed into Qin Ming's arms. Qin Ming kicked the little guy aside without saying a word, "How reckless are you? There is no blood here..."

"Okay, hurry up and do your homework. Fourth brother and fifth sister, I will teach you how to make dried meat." Qin Ming held Cuicui in one hand and Zhaodi in the other and went into the kitchen. Qin Wuni brought back three big boxes Braised mutton, I will make a pot of mutton soup tonight, and then eat it with the braised mutton, but the jerky needs to be made first.

Making dried meat requires thoroughly removing the blood and water from the meat. Qin Wuni and Qin Sihuo have already practiced this. After changing several basins of water, the mutton was finally washed until it turned white.

The next step is to cut the mutton into thick slices, then marinate it with wine, salt and his special spices. After it is thoroughly flavored, put the mutton in a steamer and steam it over high heat. When it is cooked, it can be taken out. It's time to dry.

The whole process is not complicated, but it is a little labor-intensive, plus the knife skills and marinade are exquisite.

With Qin Ming's guidance, Qin Wuni and Qin Sihuo didn't make any mistakes. They quickly put the steamer on the pot. The mutton was steaming on top, and the mutton soup was stewed on the bottom. For a while, the whole kitchen was filled with thick soup. Strong fragrance.

"toot toot"

The whistle for dinner started in the field department sounded.

"I haven't heard this whistle for a long time. When I heard it, I felt nostalgic." Qin's mother looked towards the direction of the field. Although she couldn't see it, she knew that people in the commune must be carrying bowls now. Waiting to hand out mutton soup to them.

And the meat in the mutton soup came from their old Qin family.
