Back in Shili Village, Nian Jianan and Zhang Xiaoe had not rested yet, while Xiaocao had already finished his homework and fell asleep.
Hu Ying also returned to Shili Village and really came to take care of Zhang Xiaoe. Before leaving, Tang Zhengwen had already returned to Haizi. When he heard that she was going back to the village, he naturally agreed with both hands. No one wanted to keep the boss's mother by his side. The responsibility was too big and it was difficult to explain clearly if something happened.
Now, Hu Ying watched Zheng Bajin bring back a guest, and asked heartbrokenly: "You came back so late, have you eaten?"
"Have some potatoes. This is Mayor Zou, now the mine manager of Huangli. This is my mother." Zheng Bajin introduced him and said with a smile, "Mine manager, are you full? Do you want some?" Do you cook a bowl of noodles?"
"Don't bother, I'm full." Zou Zhongli was busy saying polite words.
"There is ready-made rice. You can eat it after heating it up." Although Hu Ying did not know that Zheng Bajin had become a member of the mine, he said enthusiastically in line with the principle that everyone who came was a guest.
Zou Chengzhang was a little dissatisfied and quickly said, "You're welcome, this is too troublesome."
"It's not troublesome. The fire will heat up the food. It's just that we don't have much food at home and the reception is not good, so we'll just have to eat a little." Hu Ying said, already going to light the fire.
Zhang Xiao'e was not idle either, and went to work with him, which made Zou Changshang feel embarrassed.
"You're welcome. Didn't you say that from now on we will all work together as if it were our own home." Zheng Bajin said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll show you around first."
After saying that, without waiting for Zou Chenggong to agree, he took him out, opened the door of the warehouse, pointed at the rows of fried bacon and said, "Look, what is this if it's not shabby? The walls are so dark, if not A person like you who is close to the people really can't afford to eat."
"Haha, that's how you understand it? Look, this row of bacon weighs a thousand kilograms at least, and ten families can't eat it for a year. If this is called shabby, what do you call a family that can't eat meat all year round? "Zou Chenggong rolled his eyes, a little speechless.
"No, my family can't bear to eat much in a year. These are temporarily pickled and will be sold soon. Otherwise, the weather is too hot and they will go bad easily." Zheng Bajin said, secretly happy in his heart, the pigs were raised At three hundred pounds, it grows slowly. It is not cost-effective to keep it, so it can only be killed. However, the current weather cannot store it for too long, and there is no cold storage. It was shipped to Qiucheng and Chunkun. Once the quantity was large, it was difficult to sell and it was easy to get damaged.
I was worried about how to spend this summer, but I didn't expect that the mine would be handed over to me, just when I fell asleep and met my pillow.
"Are you worried that you won't be able to sell something? The key is to have the goods. When the mine starts construction, the canteen will definitely be set up. By then, there will be no need to go to other places to buy meat, and people will come here to get it directly. You can't charge too high a price , just think of it as poverty alleviation." Zou Zhongsheng said half-jokingly.
"That's natural. Just a little processing fee will be enough. Don't you believe me? I'm a very kind person and I would never cheat my brothers." Zheng Bajin was overjoyed when he heard this, and took the photo without showing any expression on his face. He assured by patting his chest.
In this way, the workers who built the Yuhe Reservoir will digest part of it, send part to Qiucheng, and give part to the mines, which is enough to survive the past two months. When the weather turns cooler, they can pickle in large quantities. It is really a one-stop operation. How lucky!
The two chatted for a while, and Zheng Bajin was still thinking of taking him to see the car dealership driven by Nian Jianan, when he heard Nian Jianan calling them to eat.
The food on the table is not rich, but a bowl of boiled cabbage and a bowl of fried marinated meat are indispensable.
Zheng Bajin asked him to eat more of his home-cured meat, saying that there were no harmful substances added, except for salt and pepper noodles, which would not be harmful to the body.
Of course, Zou Chenggang didn't know what additives were, let alone the concept of pollution-free food. However, he found that the meat was good. In addition to the good quality of the meat, it should be because of the superb pickling techniques and the amount of salt was not too heavy.
Of course, this meat has more smoke and tastes more delicious. At this time, he finally understood what the dry firewood piled up like a hill outside the factory was used for.
"It's so delicious, aunt and sister-in-law, please eat some more." Zou Zhongsheng suddenly said to Hu Ying and Zhang Xiao'e, who was pregnant with Liujia.
Zhang Xiao'e couldn't help being stunned, Zheng Bajin also had a dark look on his face, and hurriedly explained: "This is my mother, you know it, and this is my mother-in-law, please don't talk nonsense."
"Ah!" Zou Chengzheng looked at Zheng Bajing in disbelief, more embarrassed, "Is your mother-in-law so young?"
I thought, based on this calculation, your wife is either an elementary school student or a kindergartener.
"She is the stepmother-in-law. My wife's mother ran away from home. She just took office not long ago, but now she is pregnant. This is why my mother came back to take care of her." Zheng Bajin was busy explaining, not daring to hide it anymore. Tuck it in, otherwise, this guy might say something more embarrassing.
However, it seems that Zou Chenggang has never met Qingqing. No wonder he is blind. Looking at Zhang Xiao'e, he thinks that she is young and beautiful and must be his wife. As everyone knows, Qingqing is younger than her and a hundred times more beautiful than her.
It's like, people who come from a small place never know how big the outside world is? I can't even understand what kind of life those celebrities live. I only know that they have meat to eat every day and cars to drive every day.
Zou Chenggang was so busy that he looked like he had suddenly realized something. He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, he just lowered his head to eat, and lost no time in praising Zheng Bajin's delicious meat.
It took a while for the awkward atmosphere to dissipate.
Zheng Bajin glanced at Zhang Xiao'e and asked, "By the way, where did Xiaoyang go? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Oh, that's it. I haven't gone to buy firewood in the past two days. When I had nothing to do, I went to help the third team and the family to collect potatoes. I didn't come back at night. I guess I was a little tired after driving all day to haul potatoes!" Zhang Xiao'e was busy! She explained that she didn't look like a mother-in-law, but she looked as careful and caring as a little daughter-in-law.
"There must be a young lady in the third team's house who is waiting for marriage, right? Otherwise, Xiaoyang wouldn't work so hard." Zheng Bajin complained.
Zou Zhongshang looked at Zheng Bajing strangely: "Who is Xiaoyang?"
"My mother-in-law's brother is considered a brother to me. I brought him up single-handedly. He is usually responsible for purchasing firewood. Now he has also learned some skills in curing meat." Zheng Bajin told the truth, but Zou Zheng was confused. Damn, the relationship in this family is so messed up.
Even he took a while to figure it out.
Zhang Xiao'e once again fell into embarrassment, but she didn't dare to interrupt easily for fear of arousing Zheng Bajing's resentment. The relationship that had been built up with great difficulty might not be flushed away as soon as she peeed.
"How do you know he has a daughter?" Zou Chengzhang looked at Zheng Bajing strangely, "If you are worried and afraid that he will mess around outside, why not let him do something in the mine."
"As a man, of course you have to know the nature of a man's urine." Zheng Bajin answered Zou Chenggang's doubts, shook his head and said, "There is no need for him to go to the mine, just let him guard this home."
Zhang Xiao'e finally heard that Zheng Bajin had a problem with Xiaoyang's absence without permission and had to give him a warning later.
