In the end, Zhou Yang got his wish and bought more than a hundred kilograms of ribs.

Although for these ribs, Zhou Yang spent all the more than 100 yuan he earned some time ago, and even attracted some nagging from Li Youwei.

But he was very happy in his heart!

Pork ribs cost 40 cents a pound, and there is no ticket. You can't find cheaper meat in the entire Yunshan County.

As for others who say that the pork ribs are not as delicious as fat meat, Zhou Yang can only sneer at this. Find out more about the cured pork ribs!

More importantly, after making these spareribs into cured spareribs, they can feed their family for a period of time.

Due to the hot weather, Zhou Yang started making waxed pork ribs after returning home!

There is not much difference between making bacon ribs and bacon. The first step is to stir-fry the seasonings. That is, add the seasonings such as eight-flowered peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns to a hot pot and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant. Add the fennel until crispy.

In the second step, pour the crispy fried spices into a stone pounding jar and pound into powder, add salt, and evenly spread the fried spice powder on the fresh pork ribs.

The third step is to put the spiced pork into the bucket, cover it, and marinate for 7 days. During the marinating process, turn the top and bottom of the meat over to make the meat taste more even. When turning over, marinate the bottom. Do not throw away the oozing blood.

Then poke a hole in one end of the marinated meat with scissors, tie it with a rope, place it in a ventilated place or directly exposed to the sun, and let it dry until the meat can be straight and horizontal without falling.

The last step is to use hay to light a fire to smoke the meat, and smoke it for about 3-5 hours until the meat is white and golden, and you're done.

Although the whole process is tedious and time-consuming, the cured pork ribs produced in this way can not only be stored for a long time, but also taste delicious.

While Zhou Yang was busy making cured pork ribs, he suddenly heard someone calling his name outside the courtyard gate.

Looking up, I found that it was Cui Jinjin, an acquaintance from the educated youth spot.

Cui Qianjin was from Beihe Province. He joined the Babaoliang Brigade a year after Zhou Yang. He was an upright and enthusiastic man, so he was very popular among the educated youth.

"It's time to come in, let's go into the room and talk!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"No, Brother Yang. The main thing I want to ask is that the educated youths at our educated youth center are going to have a dinner tomorrow night. Will you come?" Cui Jinjin said through the courtyard door.

Zhou Yang was going to refuse, but he heard Li Youwei shouting from inside the room: "Here we go, I'll ask him to bring some hard food when he goes there tomorrow!"

"Okay sister-in-law, then I will sign up for Brother Yang!" Cui Qian said.

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you!"

"No trouble, then Brother Yang and sister-in-law, you go ahead and I'll notify the others!"

"Okay, you can go about your business!" Li Youwei said enthusiastically.

After Cui Qianjin left, Zhou Yang couldn't help but said: "Why did you agree to this without asking me for my opinion?"

Li Youwei smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that you will reject me!"

After hearing this, Zhou Yang suddenly fell silent.

The educated youths in Educated Youth Point were alone and helpless as guests in a foreign land, so they could only join a group to stay warm.

Even though their living conditions are difficult, they still get together for dinner every once in a while.

Although the food you eat may not be as rich every time, it can also relieve some of the longing for family and friends.

But since marrying Li Youwei, out of poor self-esteem and to avoid Shen Chenlu, she has refused almost all invitations to dinner parties.

"You...you won't blame me for taking the initiative, right?" Li Youwei asked cautiously.

Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "No, it was my fault before. This time I just want to talk to everyone!"

"Well, you are all educated youths after all. It's not good if you keep not interacting with them!" Li Youwei said.

"I know, I won't do it again!"

"I think they killed the pigs and divided the meat today, so there should be no shortage of meat. Would you like to bring some wine with you when you go tomorrow?"

Zhou Yang thought for a while and said, "Well, then bring two bottles!"

However, Li Youwei smiled and said: "You educated youths are asking a dozen people, who can drink two bottles of wine? Tomorrow morning we will go to the commune to pour some bulk wine, and we have to let you drink it!"

For Li Youwei, as long as she can make her men become more gregarious, she will accept it even if she spends a little money.

"Alright!" Zhou Yang said.

.......

During dinner, Zhou Yang suddenly thought of Yan Gengdong's son and wondered if that child had food to eat now.

"Daughter-in-law, isn't there a lot of collapse over there at the livestock shed? Where does that child live?"

Li Youwei knew who Zhou Yang was talking about, so she thought for a moment and said, "The members rebuilt a few sheds in the afternoon. He should still be living there at night!"

Zhou Yang frowned and said, "The new shed has a lot of moisture. How can we live in it?"

"Well, what can we do? No one in the village dares to take them in!" Li Youwei sighed.

Zhou Yang hesitated again and again, and finally said: "I'm still worried about that child. I want to see him!"

A trace of worry flashed in Li Youwei's eyes, but she still said: "Then be careful. If anyone sees it, just say that you are asking Chen Liuzi to explain the use of livestock!"

"Um!"

After saying that, Zhou Yang immediately took out his lunch box, put the remaining porridge in the basin into it, took another steamed bun, and then walked out the door.

Bao'er originally wanted to follow Zhou Yang, but thinking that this matter couldn't be made public after all, Zhou Yang finally rejected the baby girl's request.

It only made the little girl's mouth pout high, and her two big eyes became watery.

In desperation, Zhou Yang could only promise countless unequal treaties, and then he made the little girl happy again!

There's a cold moon in the sky tonight. Even though it's night, it's not like I can't see my fingers.

All the commune members' homes lit up kerosene lamps. Only the Chen family at the east end of the village and the father-in-law's home in the middle of the village had lights on.

The village received electricity last year, but only a few people are willing to use electric lights. Currently, 99% of commune members still light kerosene lamps at home, including Zhou Yang's family.

So Zhou Yang has been thinking about it these past few days. He must connect the light as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too troublesome to translate at night.

However, you need to go to the commune to find someone from the substation to connect the electricity. Ordinary people cannot connect the electricity privately. If they are identified as stealing electricity, it will be troublesome.

When we arrived at the barn, we found it completely dark.

Since there were a lot of firewood piled near the barn, the village prohibited anyone from lighting an open fire here.

If the special personnel living here cook, they can only cook in a specially built simple kitchen outside the barn.

After searching around the livestock shed, Zhou Yang didn't see the child.

Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a person walking towards the gate. Under the moonlight, his figure was stretched very long!

If you look carefully, you can see that the person is small, like a child.

Zhou Yang strode over and found that he was indeed the person he was looking for.

"Come here!" Zhou Yang took the initiative to greet him.

Hearing Zhou Yang's voice, the little boy was startled for a moment, but he quickly reacted and ran a few steps to Zhou Yang's side.

"What are you doing so late?"

The little boy stretched out his hands, and there were two round eggs in his hands.

Perhaps worried about Zhou Yang's misunderstanding, the little boy hurriedly explained: "I didn't steal, this was..."

"Wild duck eggs, I know!"

Before the little man could say anything, Zhou Yang said it for him.

"Thanks!"

"Thank me for what?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"Thank you for saving my dad!"

"You should have seen me in the afternoon, why don't you come over and ask about your dad?"

"Grandpa, the party secretary, has secretly told me that my father has undergone surgery and will recover after a period of time!" the little boy replied.

"Well, your dad may have to stay in the hospital for a month. Why don't you stay at my house during this time!" Zhou Yang said.

"No, my dad said, this will hurt you!"

The boy was so sensible that it was heartbreaking, and at the same time, it made Zhou Yang feel ashamed.

In the same encounter, my previous performance was far inferior to this child.

"If you don't want to go, don't go. Don't eat these two wild duck eggs. I brought you some food!" Zhou Yang said as he took out the lunch box.

This time the little boy didn't refuse, he took the lunch box and ate it hungrily.

"I will bring you food every night from now on. If it is not necessary, try not to go to the reservoir to find food. It is quite dangerous there!"

"Um!"

"Okay, I'm going back. Can you tell me your name?"

Zhou Yang felt it was necessary to know the child's name because he didn't even know how to call him.

"Hello, uncle, my name is Yan Wenhui!"

Zhou Yang couldn't help being surprised when he heard this name!

Yan Wenhui... Yan Gengdong, are they the fairy father and son he knows?
