Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

The next day, Xiang Yunduan got up early.

I specifically talked to Sha Zhu about coming back to cook in the afternoon, and gave Yi Zhonghai the ten yuan that day to Sha Zhu, so that Sha Zhu could go to the vegetable market to buy food after get off work in the afternoon.

I originally thought that Silly Zhu would be reluctant, but unexpectedly, this guy was quite happy. Xiang Yunduan asked curiously. It turns out that although this guy is now an official chef, he is only responsible for cooking big pots in the steel rolling mill. , has not yet taken over Xiaozao.

Although this afternoon meal is only for three or four tables, in any case, it is considered a serious stir-fry, which is completely different from a big pot dish.

For Shazhu, this is also a rare opportunity.

If he had finished the meal in the afternoon, he might consider going out to take on some private work in the future. For example, when people have weddings and weddings and need to entertain relatives and friends, they have to hire a special cook to do it.

You can earn almost two or three yuan from doing this once, which is also a considerable subsidy.

In fact, in the nearby alleys, his father, He Daqing, was responsible for all the red and white affairs in the past. After He Daqing ran away, some people came to see him. However, Shazhu had never done such a big job before, and he really didn't know what he was doing. Don't dare to agree casually.

……

"Section Chief, I'm asking for leave!"

In the morning, Xiang Yunduan killed three pigs. After lunch, he killed two more pigs to complete today's task. It was only around three o'clock in the afternoon. If he had been more diligent, he could still kill two pigs, but today he had to kill two more pigs. To give gifts, Xiang Yunduan had to give up those two pieces of white luck.

Kuang Yunsheng, the chief of the first production section, had a good impression of production activists like Xiang Yunduan, so when Xiang Yunduan asked for leave, he directly approved it without even asking for a reason.

Returning to the team, Xiang Yunduan sent out another round of cigarettes one by one, then gave some instructions to Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang, who were already working under him, and then left the slaughterhouse.

First, he went to the bathhouse near the alley to take a shower, and then went home and changed his clothes. Then Xiang Yunduan packed up the things he had prepared in the space and carried them to Maoer Alley.

In addition to the gold and silver bracelet he got yesterday, he also prepared a pheasant and a hare that had been killed and wrapped in oil paper. In addition, he also brought a bottle of honey, which was only about a pound.

It was still the same family home as last time, and it was still the old guard who let him in after registration.

This time, he was familiar with the place. Xiang Yunduan successfully found the place and knocked on the door.

As expected, the person who opened the door was Cui Mingliang's mother.

"you are?"

When the old aunt saw Xiang Yunduan, she had a puzzled expression on her face. She seemed to have an impression, but she couldn't remember who it was.

"Hello grandma, I'm Xiao Xiang. I came to visit Director Cui a few days ago!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Oh, I remember, it's you. Your Factory Manager Cui hasn't gotten off work yet. You're looking for him... No, why didn't you go to work? You should go to the factory to find your Factory Manager Cui!" The old aunt was surprised. said.

"Grandma, let me go in and talk!" Xiang Yunduan looked around at the door with a hesitant expression on his face.

The old aunt quickly saw the bag he was carrying and let him in enthusiastically.

At this point, Cui Mingliang and his wife were still working at their workplace, so naturally there were only the old aunt and Cui Mingliang's child at home.

Xiang Yunduan specially picked this time to come. To give gifts to Cui Mingliang in person, he still had to push back and forth. But giving gifts behind his back would not be such a hassle. Giving gifts also has to take care of the leader's face!

"Grandma, my hometown is in Meotougou, just at the foot of the mountain. Today my brother from my hometown came over and brought me some game he hunted in the mountains. When I thought about it, Director Cui also took good care of me. I have nothing to repay, only these game meats, eat them freshly!"

Xiang Yunduan said shyly, looking very embarrassed.

"Oh, you kid, you, Director Cui, are supposed to take care of your subordinates. Look, you are still so polite. If you are so polite in the future, then Director Cui will not dare to take care of you again. Got it!"

I don’t know where this old aunt is from?

Anyway, judging from his appearance, speech, and temperament, he doesn't look like an ordinary person.

"Oh, by the way, there is also this honey, which is also obtained in the mountains. I heard that this stuff is highly nutritious. You can make a cup of honey water in the morning and evening and drink it. It is very good for your health!" Xiang Yunduan pointed to the glass canning bottle again. said.

This bottle of honey was specially found by him.

"Honey? Xiaoxiang, you've worked so hard!"

The old aunt obviously also knew that honey was not easy to get, and the expression on her face naturally became brighter.

Xiang Yunduan didn't sit for long, he just said a few words about home affairs, mainly praising his younger brother, and then stood up and left, without even bothering to drink tea.

As for the wooden box containing the gold lock and silver bracelet at the bottom of the bag, Xiang Yunduan did not mention it. He believed that Cui Mingliang would know about it when he came back from get off work in the afternoon.

He mentioned his brother many times just now. He believed that Cui Mingliang would understand what he meant as long as he listened to his mother.

……

Dashilan, Tongrentang.

After leaving Cui Mingliang's house, Xiang Yunduan came to Tong Ren Tang.

The last time I came here was to sell Ganoderma lucidum, this time I came to sell honey.

Honey is a hot commodity and can be sold casually. However, if you want to sell it at a good price, you have to go to a place like Tongrentang.

Moreover, in addition to honey, the hive also contains royal jelly, pollen, beeswax, etc., all of which can be used as medicine.

"Young man, what good things are there this time?"

Xiang Yunduan entered Tongrentang. Before he could speak, the old man behind the counter recognized him first. He was the one who identified Ganoderma lucidum last time.

"You always ask for Palm Eyes!"

Xiang Yunduan didn't say what it was. He just put the net bag in his hand on the counter and made a "please" gesture.

In the net pocket were porcelain bottles of different sizes, containing honey, royal jelly and other things, which he had prepared in advance.

"Yo, honey!"

The old gentleman opened the lid of the porcelain bottle and immediately noticed a special fragrance. His eyes suddenly lit up. Then he took a small spoon from the side, picked up a little, and put it into his mouth.

"Hmm~"

The old gentleman squinted his eyes and seemed to be enjoying it, smacked his lips, and then said: "Five points of jujube nectar, three points of locust nectar, and the remaining two points are hundred flower nectar!

Not bad!

This quality is definitely the best among honeys! "

"Damn it, is this old man so awesome? Can he taste the nectar of any flower?"

Xiang Yunduan was a little surprised, but he was still convinced in his heart. He was indeed an expert!

The reason is actually very simple. There were many wild jujube and locust trees near the place where he encountered the beehive. Thinking about it, it makes sense that jujube nectar and locust nectar account for the majority of the honey.

Which flower has more nectar depends on the season and the environment. For bees, it is natural to collect nectar from whatever flowers are available.

Xiang Yunduan used to think that honey was just honey, but now looking at the old man's appearance, it seems that honey can be divided into higher and lower levels according to different flowers?
