Chapter 1556 Zhao Youcai, who can show off
The west courtyard of the Zhao family is Li Baoyu's home, the east courtyard is the old Sun family, and the courtyard further east is the old Zhang family.
The man in the Zhang family is called Zhang Fenghai. There are many people of their generation named Fengshan, Fenghai, Zhanshan, and Zhanhai.
Zhang Fenghai is the same age as Zhao Youcai, two months older than Zhao Youcai. He is the third child in the family, so Zhao Youcai calls his wife "third sister-in-law".
Mrs. Zhang was a simple person. When she heard that Zhao Youcai wanted to give her wild boar thighs, although she was very tempted, she said a little embarrassedly: "Second brother, you don't need those. Keep them for yourself. You have a big family."
"Oh! It's enough!" Zhao Youcai pulled out the knife from his waist with one hand, and said to Zhang Sansao with the other hand, "Third sister-in-law, the testicles of this cannon weigh more than 500 kilograms!"
"About 500 kilograms?" Mrs. Zhang was very surprised, but Zhao Youcai was even satisfied with her performance and immediately replied, "Yeah, I just weighed it at the village headquarters, and it's 536 kilograms!"
According to the requirements of the forest farm, hunters need to bring the prey to the family area for registration after they have killed it.
Registration is for the final award, and detailed information on the type, number and weight of prey is required.
In order to avoid duplicate registration, large prey such as wild boars, black bears, elk and roe deer have their left ears cut off after weighing.
If it is a small prey such as a hare, badger, or squirrel, chop off its left front paw.
"Oh my god!" Mrs. Zhang exclaimed, and then said with emotion: "Or should I say, it must be my second brother. Many years ago, they called you Zhao Pao, Zhao Pao."
While Mrs. Zhang was talking, Zhao Youcai deftly removed a wild boar's front leg and pulled it down from the trunk.
"Haha..." After hearing what Zhang Sansao said, Zhao Youcai laughed heartily and said, "Sansao, wait for me to cut you another piece of pork loin."
After cutting the meat for Zhang Sansao, Zhao Youcai patted the car and Lin Xiangshun, who was sitting in the driver's seat, started the car westward.
Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang were standing outside the gate and watching. When they saw the Liberation car coming over, they saw Zhao Youcai patted the car twice.
Li Dayong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened the car window and heard Zhao Youcai shout, "Let Shunzi drive forward and go to Lao An's house."
"Got it, big brother!" Li Dayong agreed happily, and then he seemed to say something to Lin Xiangshun. When they arrived in front of Zhao's courtyard, Lin Xiangshun honked the horn and continued to drive west.
Seeing the Liberation truck passing by, Zhao Jun pinched his waist and looked at Zhao Youcai in the car, speechless.
The second house west of the Li family was named An. When the Liberation Army car stopped at the door of Old An's house, Zhao Youcai shouted at the top of his voice: "Little Anzi! Little Anzi!"
Xiao Anzi should not be at home, but Zhao Youcai called Xiao Anzi's wife out.
"Uncle Zhao," Xiao Anzi's wife said as she walked towards the gate, "My Xiao Anzi isn't at home. What's wrong? Do you have something to talk to him about?"
"Nothing!" Zhao Youcai shouted at the top of his voice, "I went up the mountain today and shot a few cannonballs. It weighs about 500 pounds. I thought I'd give some meat to my neighbors."
"Ah, thank you so much." Xiao Anzi's wife was very happy to hear what Zhao Youcai said. Just as she was waiting for Zhao Youcai to cut the meat, Zhao Youcai asked her, "Did your Xiao Anzi go up the mountain too? He hasn't come back yet?"
"He hasn't come back yet." Xiao Anzi's wife said, "He can't catch anything in the mountains, so he's just playing around."
"Ah, that requires practice, practice." Zhao Youcai said, handing over a wild boar's front leg.
The egg weighed 500 kilograms, and the entire front leg weighed more than 30 kilograms. Xiao Anzi's wife was so happy that she thanked Zhao Youcai repeatedly.
Seeing the Liberation Army train continue to move westward, Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang sighed in unison. At this time, Li Dazhi, Li Baoyu, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen all came out.
Listening to Zhao Youcai shouting at others, Li Dazhi smacked his lips and said, "He usually speaks in a mumbling way, but he got excited a while ago."
Zhao Youcai is the second child in the family. His elder brother was born with a congenital disease and was weak since birth.
Being physically weak, the child was listless and would not play with his friends on weekdays. Therefore, the children of the same generation all called Zhao Jun's uncle "Da Niu".
Following Zhao Danian, Zhao Youcai became Ernianba. Later, the villagers found that this kid was a shrewd person and had a dull heart, so Zhao Youcai changed from Ernianba to Ergudong.
It is said that there are wrong names, but there are no wrong nicknames.
Zhao Youcai always looked listless in life. When he was not angry with someone, he would speak in a low voice, as if he was holding the words in his throat, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear clearly.
But even such a Zhao Youcai has completely changed today.
"Let's go, nephew." Seeing the Liberation car going further and further away, Wang Qiang said to Zhao Jun, "Let's go back first."
"Oh no!" Zhao Jun was also helpless and turned around and walked back with Wang Qiang and others.
When they entered the room, Wang Meilan was frying beef meatballs in front of the stove.
Usually when the Zhao army came back from the mountain, Wang Meilan would go out to greet them, one to welcome her son, the other to welcome the prey.
Wang Meilan had greeted Zhao Youcai twice, but the prey she had greeted back were all old cows. So when she knew Zhao Youcai was coming back today, Wang Meilan did not go out either.
At this time, she was using the magic tool Zhang Yuanmin made from a malted milk bucket to put meatballs into the oil pan.
There is a small hole in the ground near the bottom of the malted milk bucket. Put the mixed stuffing in the bucket and it will flow out of the hole.
Wang Meilan watched with a pair of chopsticks, and when the amount of liquid flowing out was as big as the size of a thumb, she used the chopsticks to push it down. The meat filling fell into the hot oil pan, and because the oil temperature was high enough, the meat filling sank to the bottom and then quickly floated up.
Just like that, golden meatballs floated on the oil.
The meatballs, mixed with starch, swelled and puffed up in the pan until they were about the size of quail eggs. They were bright red, crispy and fragrant after being fried.
Seeing Wang Qiang coming into the room, Wang Meilan asked casually, "Qiangzi, where is your brother-in-law?"
Wang Qiang blurted out, "He was paraded through the streets."
"What?" Wang Meilan was stunned. People who lived through that era were not unfamiliar with this term.
Wang Qiang laughed, and then he heard Li Dazhi, who followed him in, say, "My brother-in-law has a big ass, and he's showing off all over the village."
After saying this, Li Dazhi paused for a moment and added, "Distribute the meat to each household."
"If he wants to share, then go ahead." Wang Meilan was generous to begin with. When she heard that it was a cannon egg, she said indifferently, "We can't eat it even if it's brought back. Let's just share it quickly."
As she spoke, Wang Meilan picked up the colander and started scooping out the meatballs.
"Son!" Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun while shaking the strainer to drain the oil, "Go to the west courtyard and call your sister back to eat meatballs."
"I'll take it to them, Mom." Zhao Jun said, "Let my sisters finish eating, and then continue to learn from Xiaoyun."
Those kids are always making noise, so let them study with Li Tongyun.
After Wang Meilan had finished frying two pots of meatballs and squeezed out all the used oil, she heard the sound of dogs barking outside the house.
Wang Meilan glanced out through the window next to the stove and saw a Liberation truck parked at the door. Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun were pulling things down from the truck.
"Son!" Wang Meilan called Zhao Jun again, saying, "Go quickly and help your father and the others."
While Wang Meilan was speaking, Zhao Jun was already putting on his cotton jacket. He did not let Wang Qiang and Li Dazhi move, but took Li Baoyu, Jie Chen and Li Ruhai out.
When the four of them left the house, Zhao Youcai had already finished the job. Zhao Youcai had cut the wild boar, which weighed more than 500 kilograms, into pieces, leaving only one hind leg and two tenderloins.
Zhao Youcai dragged the pig's hind legs into the yard, and then said to Lin Xiangshun who was carrying the wild boar loin, "Shunzi, take the loin to the house."
After saying that, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong squatted in front of the warehouse and started cutting up the wild boar thighs.
These two brothers really never feel tired!
"Second brother." Walking together with Lin Xiangshun, Zhao Jun looked at the wild boar tenderloin he was carrying and couldn't help laughing: "Such a big wild boar, and there are only these two lumps of meat left."
"Jun, don't mention it." Lin Xiangshun frowned and looked back at the two brothers, then whispered to Zhao Jun: "My second uncle insisted on pulling down the 530-pound cannon egg. Oh my god, this guy made me tired. After pulling it, I was so tired that my chest hurt."
Even though there was snow on the hillside, it would still be difficult for three people to pull a 500-pound wild boar.
"Brother Shunzi," Li Baoyu said, "Then throw it up the mountain, cut off its left ear and register it. Leave the remaining meat there, and we can go and pull it out tomorrow. There are only three of you, how are you going to pull out a 500-jin wild boar?"
"Don't mention it." Lin Xiangshun grinned and said to Li Baoyu, "Your father and I will pull it in front, and my second uncle will support it with a big stick in the back."
After saying this, Lin Xiangshun sighed and said, "We dragged it back with great effort, and we'll divide it up in the village."
After hearing what he said, Zhao Jun couldn't say anything and could only accompany Lin Xiangshun into the house.
At this time, Zhao Youcai got up and went to the warehouse to get a broken basin, and then scooped the cut meat into the basin.
Li Dayong continued to cut the meat while Zhao Youcai started to feed the dogs. Two blacks and three, a white dragon and one, a blue dragon, a black dragon, and all the way to the black tiger, there was only one.
"Tiger!" When he arrived in front of the green tiger, Zhao Youcai handed over a piece of wild boar meat with a smile and said, "Here you go."
Once before, Zhao Youcai fed meat to a green tiger, but the green tiger refused to eat it. Zhao Youcai was so angry that he threw all the meat away.
But these days, Zhao Youcai was the one feeding the dog. Every time he fed the dog, the green tiger ate a lot.
At this time, the meat was brought to Qing Lao Hu's mouth. He glanced at Zhao Youcai, then tilted his head slightly and carefully took the meat in his mouth.
It was so careful because it was afraid of biting Zhao Youcai's hand.
Although Qing Lao Hu looked down on Zhao Youcai, the old dog was human and knew that Zhao Youcai was one of its own. Therefore, even though it often barked at Zhao Youcai, it would never really bite him.
"Good dog!" Seeing Green Tiger like this, Zhao Youcai, who had handed out the meat strip, raised his hand and wanted to touch Green Tiger's head.
Green Tiger turned its head and dodged Zhao Youcai's hand, but Zhao Youcai was not angry. Instead, he picked up another piece of wild boar meat from the basin.
At this time, the green tiger was chewing the wild boar meat with its back teeth. When it finished eating this piece of meat, Zhao Youcai immediately offered the second one.
This time, the green tiger didn't look at Zhao Youcai, but directly opened its mouth and grabbed the meat.
"Ah! Ah!" Black Tiger was not happy after seeing this scene. It would be fine if you treat us all equally, but treating us differently in front of me is really bullying the dog!
"Tiger, stop making trouble!" Zhao Youcai turned to the black tiger and said, "Tiger, come with me to the mountain tomorrow. I have to feed it well."
After saying that, Zhao Youcai picked up another piece of meat and fed it to the green tiger.
"Ao! Ao!" The black tiger barked at Zhao Youcai twice again, but this time Zhao Youcai ignored it.
Zhao Youcai fed the dogs all the way from the Zhao family to the Li family. He fed every dog, but he fed the dogs that belonged to him, Zhao Youcai, more.
There is nothing wrong with this. Whoever works hard will eat more. The dogs that eat more meat will go up the mountain with Zhao Youcai tomorrow.
After feeding them, Zhao Youcai said to Li Dayong, "Brother, let's go early tomorrow morning. We have a car, and we can fight several battles in a row."
"Okay, brother." Li Dayong agreed without hesitation.
At this time, the door of Li's house opened and Zhao Hong ran out first.
"Dad!" Zhao Hong, who was liberated today, ran towards Zhao Youcai happily.
"My second daughter!" Zhao Youcai hugged Zhao Hong tightly, and both father and daughter smiled.
In the atmosphere of loving father and filial daughter, Zhao Youcai asked Zhao Hong, "My second daughter, how was your school today?"
"I'm doing well." No matter how bad Zhao Hong's grades were, she would always answer like this whenever someone asked her.
But then, Zhao Hong said to Zhao Youcai, "Dad, it's my turn to hand in the firewood tomorrow."
These days, not only in forest areas and rural areas, but also in schools in cities, as long as there is a stove in the classroom, students have to carry firewood from home to school.
This is a class assignment. If there is a student who lives far away from home, the teacher will allow him not to carry firewood, and then all his classmates will ostracize him.
"My second daughter!" Zhao Youcai pulled Zhao Hong back and pointed to the pile of bamboo shoots in front of the east tent outside his yard, saying, "I'll take that pile to you tomorrow, okay?"
Children like Zhao Hong's age, although not good at studying, love to show off in school.
When Zhao Hong heard that Zhao Youcai supported her so much, she immediately thought of being praised by the teacher and envied by classmates at school tomorrow, and she felt a little elated for a moment.
At this time, Zhao Na, Li Xiaoqiao and the others also gathered around. Seeing Li Xiaoqiao, Zhao Youcai blinked his eyes and said to Zhao Hong, "Second girl, you and Xiaoqiao are in the same class. That pile is yours, okay?"
"Okay!" Half a pile of firewood was enough to show off, and Zhao Hong had a very good relationship with Li Xiaoqiao, so she agreed without hesitation.
"Tomorrow morning, your uncle, your second brother and I will pile the firewood under the window of your class." Zhao Youcai said, "After that, tell your teacher that it was your father who brought it here."
"Yeah, Dad!" Zhao Hong responded cheerfully, and then she heard Zhao Youcai continue, "By the way, my second daughter, Dad went hunting in the mountains today and caught a 536-pound wild boar."
"Oh, Dad!" Zhao Hong exclaimed, "You are so awesome!"
"Impressive, isn't it?" Zhao Youcai said with a smile, "When you get to school, chat with your classmates and tell them, whose dad can be as good as yours?"
Zhao Hong nodded repeatedly after hearing what Zhao Youcai said. Kids these days like to show off. Zhao Hong always showed off to her classmates that her brother could hunt wild boars and black bears. At worst, she could show off her father tomorrow.
