The onlookers had already planned to leave. When they heard that Yan Bugui was going to help Wang Weidong kill the pig, they became more energetic and gathered around the door.
Just kidding, an old teacher kills a pig, how novel it is!
Wang Weidong also wanted to see how Yan Bugui, a thin old man, could deal with a fat pig of more than 200 kilograms, so he asked Guan Tingting to make a pot of tea and sit at the stone table to drink tea, then waited for Yan Bugui's arrival.
At this time, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru also came. When they heard the crowd talking about the grand occasion, they all regretted not coming earlier.
"It's all your fault for insisting on dressing up. If I could have shown my face in front of the district leaders just now, I might have become an official."
"How can you blame me? You didn't pick the pecans yourself, take them out and put them in again, which wasted time.
Don’t think about it, Liu Hongchang is the director of a large factory, how can he care about your pecans??”
"Hey, what do you know, a bitch like you? Courtesy is less important than kindness. Wait a little later. When Factory Manager Liu is eating pecans, won't he remember that I, Xu Damao, am here?"
.....
The two of them came to the small courtyard noisily. Xu Damao put the basket on the table, licked his face and said with a smile: "Director Liu, I heard that you won a reward from the ministry. I, Damao, came here to express my congratulations to you. My family also Nothing, just a few pecans. But don’t underestimate these pecans. They were carefully selected and given to me by the commune to thank me for helping them show movies. I picked each one carefully. There is not a single bug in the selected ones.”
Wang Weidong smiled and asked Xu Damao to sit down: "Da Mao, thank you so much. My cousin has been in poor health recently and needs to take supplements. How much do you pay for these walnuts? I will give you the money."
Seeing that Wang Weidong was about to pay, Xu Damao quickly reached out and held Wang Weidong's arm: "Director Liu, didn't you slap me in the face when you said this? If it hadn't been for your help in the past two days, I, Xu Damao, would have been killed by Yi Zhonghai Tear in half, such a small amount of walnuts is not enough to express my gratitude."
"Then I'll keep it?"
"Keep it! You must keep it. If you don't, it will slap me, Xu Damao, in the face."
While the two were chatting, Qin Jingru also went to help Guan Tingting with housework. Although she was unclear about the real relationship between Wang Weidong and Guan Tingting, she vaguely felt that if she wanted to follow Wang Weidong in the future, I can't fall out with Guan Tingting.
Guan Tingting had a good impression of Qin Jingru. Although this little daughter-in-law was uneducated and silly, she was not very scheming. After a few simple chats, she accepted her.
The two of them threw the clothes into the washing machine and started cleaning the floor again.
Xu Damao took two sips of tea and looked out the door: "Hey, this third uncle is really slow to do things. Isn't he just picking up tools? Why does it take so long?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bugui came in carrying a shabby baggage. Behind him were Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang, and finally Yu Li and the third aunt. Yan Jiedi didn't come over, probably because he was afraid of her, a little girl. No bloody scenes to be seen.
Yes, no wonder Yan Bugui is so confident. It turns out that the entire family is joining the battle.
Although Yan Bugui is a little older, his sons are young, and there are two lesbians, Yu Li and Third Aunt, doing odd jobs, so they are fully capable of completing the task of killing pigs.
"Director Liu, you've been waiting for a long time. It hasn't been used for so many years. I polished it again at home."
Yan Bugui smiled apologetically at Wang Weidong and threw the broken baggage to the ground with a "crash" sound.
Hearing the sound, there must be a lot of tools in it. Wang Weidong also became interested. He walked up to him and asked with a smile: "Third uncle, what tools did you bring?"
Yan Bugui smiled proudly and took out something similar to a horse lasso from his bag, but the pole was short and thick: "Do you recognize it? This is a pig lasso. No matter how powerful the pig is, if it is caught by the lasso, it will be fine." Want to break free."
"This is a straight line to hold up a pig, a shave to shave the hair... and..."
Yan Bugui's expression became solemn, he took out a sharp knife from the package, stared at the blade, and said in a deep voice: "There is also this knife. This knife was passed down to me by an old master who has been killing pigs for generations. His generation, who had no children, gave this ancestral guy to me. According to the old teacher, at least more than a thousand pigs died under this knife."
The ancestral butcher knife?
Li Weidong's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to it. The butcher's knife is different from ordinary kitchen knives, also known as "dip knife". It was about a foot long, with a sharp blade and a shiny surface. The top of the knife was full of murderous aura, which made people tremble at the sight of it.
Yan Bugui held the knife in his hand, and his whole temperament suddenly changed. He turned from a gentle old teacher into a fierce pig butcher.
Li Weidong couldn't help but believe a little bit about his statement that he had learned to kill pigs.
"Unsolved, liberated, put up the cauldron! Make a fire and boil water!"
Following Yan Bugui's loud shout, Li Weidong discovered that Yan Jiecheng was carrying a large iron pot on his back.
The two brothers built a stove with bricks. Yan Jiekuang brought firewood from the courtyard and lit it with a match. With a "tang", the bright red flames jumped up, and the small courtyard suddenly filled with green smoke.
The firewood was very hard, and it only took a moment for the boiling water in the pot to boil. Yan Bugui walked up to the big fat pig with the set of poles: "Jie Cheng, Jiefang, Xie Kuang, you three come together and give me the pig." Press there."
The pig was originally tied to a small tree in the yard by a rope. When it saw three young men approaching, it didn't think much about it. In its eyes, these three guys were not as strong as it, and they were more handsome. Yes, what bad thoughts can there be? Besides, is that old man following you here to be funny?
However, it soon realized something was wrong, and the three of them dared to ignore its existence and enter its territory.
How dare you invade the territory, which is tolerated by humans but not by pigs!
The big fat pig instantly became alert, kicking on the ground with all four legs, ready to attack Yan Jiefang, letting the boy walking in the front have a taste of its power.
But before it could move, a pole flew from a distance and hit its neck.
Damn it, I'm playing dirty!
The big fat pig originally didn't care about the rope. When he was in the commune, he was the boss among the pigs. He had seven or eight fat pigs under his command, and there were two sows waiting for his favor at any time. How could he be afraid of a rope?
However, the big fat pig broke free and found that he had been careless.
The rope was like a chain, tightly tied to its body.
The big fat pig did not believe in evil and wanted to use his brute force to break the rope. Who would have thought that the surface of the rope seemed to be coated with a layer of grease, and it would not use any force at all.
If brute force doesn't work, then use outsmarting! The big fat pig can become the fattest pig in the commune, relying on wisdom.
But before it could even think about it, Yan Jiefang and the others pounced on it.
The big fat pig was very strong, but it was no match for the three of them. He was immediately lifted onto the shelf.
Seeing that his sons had succeeded, Yan Bugui roared: "Killing pigs requires speed, ruthlessness and accuracy!" The sharp butcher's knife was inserted into the throat of the big fat pig, and a stream of hot pig blood spurted out.
The scene looked a bit scary. Yan Jiefang and the three of them were stunned. Even though they had heard Yan Bugui talk about pig killing many times, the story and seeing it with their own eyes were two completely different things.
Seeing his sons in a daze, Yan Bugui became a little anxious. He kicked Yan Jiefang on the butt: "Jiefang, quickly bring the big basin, don't let all the pig blood be ruined."
"Ah? Right, right!" Yan Jiefang finally came to his senses and carried an enamel basin and placed it underneath.
It has to be said that Yan Bugui still has some strength, and he ended the life of the big fat pig with just one knife.
After wiping away the blood stains on the butcher's knife, Yan Bugui bowed to the butcher's knife, put it away, and asked Yu Li and the third aunt to pour boiling water on the big fat pig's body. .
When the pig's hair became smooth, he took the shaver and pointed it at the big fat pig.
.......
With the help of Yan Jiefang and the others, Yan Bugui cooked a big fat pig in just over an hour.
He also thoughtfully divided the pork into small pieces, and put the offal and offal in a basin.
After finishing everything, Yan Bugui washed his hands in front of the faucet and walked to Wang Weidong with a smile.
Before Yan Bugui could speak, Wang Weidong took out a fifty cent note from his pocket and handed it to Yan Bugui: "Third uncle, as we agreed, you will take away the half-hanging pig intestines later."
"Okay, okay, as expected of a big factory director, he handles things openly!" Yan Bugui was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He carefully put the fifty cents into his cotton-padded jacket pocket.
At the same time, his impression of Wang Weidong also improved a lot. Thinking of Yi Zhonghai's commission yesterday, Yan Bugui curled his lips secretly.
Last night, Yan Bugui had just finished his meal and was getting ready to go to bed to save some money. Yi Zhonghai suddenly knocked on his door.
Yi Zhonghai was the eldest man. Although Yan Bugui was unwilling, he turned on the light bulb and asked the third aunt to pour tea for Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai rambled a lot. Just when Yan Bugui couldn't bear it anymore and was about to stand up to see off the guests, Yi Zhonghai revealed his purpose.
He wanted Yan Bugui to help him deal with Wang Weidong.
In response to this request, Yan Bugui nodded and agreed without any hesitation. As an old neighbor for many years, Yan Bugui knew Yi Zhonghai's temperament. This man seemed quite decent and didn't care about anything, but privately he was a A small-minded person, once someone doesn't agree with his opinion, he will find ways to suppress the other person.
Of course, agreeing is one thing, but actually doing it is another thing. Yan Bugui is not a loser. Wang Weidong is a big factory director, how can he be easily offended.
.....
Although Yanbu Guilin took away half of the pig intestines, there was still a lot of offal left. For example, those fat and lean meats can be pickled with salt and made into sausages, but the offal cannot be stored for a long time.
Wang Weidong looked at the envious faces of the crowd outside the door and came up with a good idea.
He turned around and walked outside the door, smiling warmly: "I, Liu Hongchang, came to the courtyard and was taken care of by the big guys. Today I just got a reward from the ministry. I will use these pig offal to make a pot of offal soup. Big guy If you don’t mind it, you can come over and eat it in the evening.”
After the Lanhua Automobile Factory relocated to the capital, he might have to live here for a long time, and it became necessary to have a good relationship with his neighbors.
In this world, there are many good people who cannot be seen. They are hiding in the dark and may attack you at any time.
But this kind of people also have one of the biggest weaknesses, that is, they are greedy for petty gains. They can be bribed with just a little favor.
really.
Hearing that Wang Weidong wanted to treat everyone to pork offal soup, everyone suddenly became enthusiastic.
"Look, he is indeed Factory Director Liu. He handles things with dignity."
"The three uncles in our courtyard have never treated us to a steamed bun in all these years."
"I think Factory Director Liu has prestige and is a decent person. He should be chosen as the boss."
"Hey, eh, the pork offal soup is not enough just with the offal. I have two Chinese cabbages at home. I'll bring them over later."
"I have half a basket of radishes at home."
...
Encouraged by the pork offal soup, the residents quickly brought side dishes from home. Of course, they were not stupid.
With just a few kilograms of worthless vegetables, the whole family can enjoy the beauty pageant offal soup. Such a good thing cannot be found even with a lantern.
The old ladies and young daughters-in-law in the courtyard all went to work, lighting fires, collecting firewood, and chopping vegetables. The courtyard was filled with laughter full of life.
Xu Damao looked at the lively scene and suddenly thought of something. He whispered in Wang Weidong's ear: "Director Liu, you have done such a good thing. It would be a shame not to tell the street office."
Xu Damao has now fallen out with Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai. If he wants to gain a foothold in the courtyard, he can only rely on Wang Weidong.
The higher Wang Weidong's reputation is in the Siheyuan neighborhood, the easier his life will be for Xu Damao.
Wang Weidong glanced at Xu Damao indifferently. Although this guy was full of bad ideas, he was very smart and realized this problem.
He patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Brother Damao!"
Xu Damao grinned from ear to ear: "What's the trouble? I have already regarded you as a brother. Otherwise, I wouldn't let my wife help your family."
"Yep!"
Xu Damao got Wang Weidong's permission and rode his bicycle to the street office in a hurry.
It was almost evening, and all the comrades from the subdistrict office were packing up to get off work.
Xu Damao broke into the office, walked up to Director Wang and said: "Director Wang, I am Xu Damao from the Siheyuan. Today, Comrade Liu Hongchang from our Siheyuan sacrificed himself for others, donated the pig offal, and made a big pot of pig offal soup. The people in the courtyard The residents are all there waiting to eat.
Comrade Liu Hongchang considers that you have worked hard and would like to invite you to come.
"
"Director Liu invites you to dinner, it's a big dinner. This is to unite the masses, we must go!" Director Wang said with a smile.
When the officers nearby heard that there was pork offal soup, they all stood up and said they wanted to go too.
It is not an easy thing to have a bite of meat in this era.
Pork offal soup, how delicious it is!
