Four large iron cages were stacked in the Li family's warehouse. Li Baoyu and Jie Chen grabbed a roe deer and stuffed it into the cage.

The roe deer was pushed into the cage and screamed, but its four hooves were tied together and it was impossible for the roe deer to escape.

Originally, I wanted to loosen the roe deer's legs after borrowing the cage. But then I thought about it. Zhang Yuanmin will set up the cage tomorrow morning. When the roe deer are taken out to catch them, if their legs can move, it will be difficult to hold on.

It's hard work.

So I'll just close it for the night and make arrangements tomorrow.

Mountain animals are very wild. The roe deer, which had its hooves tied, swung its head and opened its mouth to bite Li Baoyu, who was not paying attention.

Fortunately, Zhao Jun had quick hands and eyes and grabbed the roe deer by the back of its neck.

"Baoyu, pinch the back of its neck." Zhao Jun warned Li Baoyu, "Don't let him bite you."

"I know, brother." Li Baoyu responded. Although the cotton-padded jacket was quite thick, the bite from the roe deer was quite painful.

At this time, Wang Meilan took a closer look at the roe deer and said, "I remember it. On the New Year's Day, I will kill it first and let it bite our precious jade."

"What are you killing?" Zhao Youcai, who came to supervise the work, said, "They took out the roe deer today. I think there are five of them. Isn't that enough for you to eat these days?"

"Then let's keep it." Wang Meilan said: "The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, let's kill one and let the children roast it and eat it."

"Then what should we do with the ones we took out?" Zhao Youcai asked, and Wang Meilan said, "Just put them in a snow shell and freeze them. Aren't they still uncivilized?"

After saying this, Wang Meilan saw what Zhao Youcai wanted to say, so she said to Zhao Jun: "Son, catch fifteen more of them tomorrow!"

Zhao Youcai: "..."

"Hey." Of course Zhao Jun knew who he should be targeting, and immediately responded with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, I won't come back until we catch fifteen of you tomorrow."

When Zhao Youcai heard this, he glared at the two women, turned around and walked back to his yard.

Wang Meilan glared back at the back of his head, and then said to Zhao Jun: "Son, I told your father this morning that we would invite our guests. Your father said that you would invite your security director and security team leader.

That's it... your former team leader also called out to you, your dad said we can't let people think that we are just trying to kill the donkey."

"My dad is very thoughtful." Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, and then Wang Meilan asked again: "Son, tell me, do you think your family should give them a roe deer?"

"No need, just treat them to pork." Zhao Jun shook his head and said: "Catch these roe deer, and wait until the minister comes home to get four for him. After finishing the rest, my brother-in-law and I will have to give gifts

Woolen cloth."

"Who are you giving them to?" Wang Meilan asked Zhao Jun curiously, and Zhao Jun said: "On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I left home and gave four to my Uncle Zhao. And I want to give two to Director Chu, and then let my brother-in-law give two to him.

"

"That's good." Wang Meilan nodded and said, "Uncle Zhou said that the director thinks highly of you."

While the two women were talking, Zhao Youcai somehow slipped back. After listening to Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Youcai suddenly said, "How can such a big director still lack your two roe deers?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan turned to look at Zhao Youcai, and then heard Zhao Youcai say: "We have crabs, prawns and the like. How about you get him some of those things? He can't buy them."

"Oops!" Upon hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan hurriedly pulled Zhao Jun's arm and said, "Son, your father is right!"

"What's right?" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "The director asked me where I had it done, what should I say?"

"Let's just say you went to Hebei." Wang Meilan said confidently: "You were dragged back to Hebei."

Seeing Wang Meilan speaking so calmly, Zhao Jun said: "Then the director wants to ask me? Ask me why you went to Hebei if you don't go to work?"

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Wang Meilan's eyes went silent.

Zhao Jun remembered that during that interview, the newspaper editor finally asked himself how he had the time and energy to do so many good people and good deeds in one day.

Zhao Jun was embarrassed when he asked me.

"Then if you don't want to give it away, just pull it down and let's keep it for ourselves." Wang Meilan ignored the topic and said to Zhao Jun: "Son, why don't you leave so early tomorrow?"

"What's going on, Mom?" Zhao Jun asked, and Wang Meilan said: "At around seven o'clock, you take your dad and walk around these villages. Who do we want to invite? We need to tell them in advance. This is called an invitation.

,Yes or no?"

"I don't need him to come with me." Upon hearing this, Zhao Youcai quickly waved his hands and said, "I'll just take a stroll and go."

"Why are you taking a stroll? You're taking a stroll?" Wang Meilan said: "You go for a stroll, who's going to look after the house?"

"You..." Zhao Youcai was about to speak when Zhao Jun beat him to it and said, "Okay, dad, I'll drive around in our big jeep for you tomorrow. How exciting is this?"

"I..." Zhao Youcai wanted to say something else, but this time Wang Meilan said before him: "Okay, leave you alone, it's mine, hurry up and put the pig food in."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

…

There is no need to feed the dogs at night, and there is no need to feed the tied roe deer.

But the two big pots outside Zhao's house were also steaming.

Put pig food in one big pot, and roe deer ribs in another big pot.

Two roe deer ribs are about the same size as lamb chops, but they are less rotten than lamb chops.

Cut each fan of roe deer ribs into two pieces, put them into the pot under cold water, bring to a boil over high heat and skim off the blood foam. Then add a handful of scallions and mountain pepper, and only add salt as seasoning.

When the meat is mashed in this way, it's like hand-grinding the meat. When the meat is served, apply a layer of home-baked chive flowers, which is so fragrant that it makes your index fingers twitch.

Zhao Youcai was busy outside the house, and Wang Meilan was also busy inside.

Pour soybean oil directly into the pot, and then deep-fry the squirrel meat that has been simmered in advance.

The white-striped squirrel meat is divided into two parts, and half is fried in the pan.

In the east room, the children who had gone to bed early today were not paying attention to the TV.

These kids are not short of mouths, but even thirty or forty years later, barbecue and deep-frying are still very popular, let alone these days?

When the fried squirrel was served, the children cheered and rushed to share the food.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Wang Meilan fried spring rolls and shrimp crackers in the pot.

Workers in forest areas are responsible for the country's livelihood and have a stable income. But even so, spring rolls are only seen in the homes of ordinary workers during the Chinese New Year. Shrimp crackers are relatively common, but in the New Year, if they are taken out to entertain guests, they are considered a dish.

Hard dishes.

After frying these two things, Wang Meilan started to fry the hairtail again.

This hairtail was not brought by Zhao Weipeng. The hairtail, the spring rolls, and the shrimp crackers were all New Year benefits given to employees by the forest farm.

Each employee has ten kilograms of hairtail, the Zhao family has twenty kilograms, the Li Dayong family has thirty kilograms, the Li Dazhi family has twenty kilograms, and the four families of Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jiechen have ten kilograms each, and the total is one hundred and ten kilograms.

Because most of these people did not go to work, Li Dayong, Li Dazhi and Lin Xiangshun helped bring back the 110 kilograms of hairtail.

They came back that day and took the hairtail directly to Zhao's house. After dinner, when everyone went back to their homes, Wang Meilan asked them to take the hairtail, but no one wanted it.

According to Lin Xue, we only have one meal at home a day, breakfast. Why would we take this home?

The fried hairtail is divided into two parts, one part is the fried fish, and the other part is braised and braised for two minutes to become the braised hairtail.

Add a piece of roe deer meat and stir-fried pickled cabbage, and the dishes for tonight are complete.

The men were changing cups and chatting, while the women and children ate quickly and started chopping stuffings after they finished.

Nearly forty kilograms of roe deer meat were chopped into pieces. After the meat was chopped, everyone took some back and stuffed them to eat tomorrow morning.

In the west room, Zhao Youcai picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and said, "Okay, I won't drink anymore."

"What's going on, brother-in-law?" Wang Qiang asked, "Why did you just drink a bottle today?"

"I'm going to eat some food and then go to Lao Ma's house." Zhao Youcai said, "If you kill a pig, why don't you invite my relatives to eat the meat?"

"Dad, let me serve you rice." Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun quickly stood up and took the rice bowl from Zhao Youcai's hand.

"Then I won't drink anymore." Li Dayong said, "I have to invite my in-laws too."

After saying this, Li Dayong rushed to the door and shouted: "Xiaomei, when are we going to invite you?"

Jin Xiaomei appeared at the door with a kitchen knife in hand and said, "I won't say anything anymore. Twenty-six please."

It turned out that the Li family and the Zhao family had agreed to have the same day, but when they were working at the Li family in the afternoon and chatting, they heard Wang Meilan talking about who her family wanted to invite and whom, so Li Ruhai suggested to Jin Xiaomei that his family's guests should be entertained on a different day than the Zhao family's, and not in the same place.

sky.

Jin Xiaomei was very surprised and puzzled. According to what she had discussed with Li Dayong and Li Baoyu, she and the Zhao family would kill the pigs together and use the two large stoves outside the Zhao family to cook the meat and stew the vegetables together. This would be much more convenient.

But Li Ruhai said that it would save trouble, but if the two families entertained together, in addition to his three uncles, there would also be his old uncle Li Daren's family who lived in the northwest workers' countryside, and Li Baoyu's future father-in-law would be the only one left.

Anyone who has a good reputation will definitely go to the Zhao family.

The reason is very simple, because the forestry farm secretary was sitting with the Zhao family that day.

The two families put up a wall. Li Dayong and his team leader and colleagues came. I heard that Zhou Chunming was next door, so I definitely had to go and have a look.

On the day of the treat, when someone came into the house, Zhao Youcai, as the host, had to say a polite word to invite the guest to dinner.

Under normal circumstances, the guests invited by the Li family would not eat at the Zhao family. But they couldn't resist those people who wanted to make progress. If they had the opportunity to have a meal with Zhou Chunming, they had to agree to anything.

After hearing what Li Ruhai said at that time, Jin Xiaomei realized that the couple and her eldest son had been thinking too little.

Li Ruhai is right, and the secretary, security chief, and village chief were all next door that day, so Li Dayong should have gone to Zhao's house!

So as soon as Li Dayong got home from get off work, Jin Xiaomei discussed changing the day with him.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Jun's family entertained guests, and on the twenty-fifth day, Wang Qiang and Lin Xiangshun's family slaughtered pigs. There was no conflict between them.
