Laozi is the village head

Chapter One and Eight: Making New Year Goods

Zhuang Xiaochu took the two parrots back. Although he was interested in the monkeys, he was really powerless. Not to mention that Yang Feng would not give it to him. It was indeed a problem if he wanted to manage it well. Don’t look at it in Yang Feng’s hands. Do whatever you want, but that's because they are the village chief, and he doesn't have the skills of a village chief, so he can't figure it out.

Three cauldrons were set up in the yard. Yang Feng added water to it, put them in the seasoning bag, and put the rabbits and pheasants that had been marinated in the green mountains for a period of time. The wood under the big iron cauldron began to hum. The pot opened in a short while, emitting a hint of aroma.

"What are you doing?" Dong Yuxin came in, and glanced at three steaming big iron pots with a look of confusion.

"The New Year will be coming soon, let's get some welfare too." Yang Feng said.

"You have Tao Jian as an employee here, so you still need so much?" Dong Yuxin asked suspiciously.

"Leaders in the township, county, and city, I don't have to be filial to you during the New Year! Don't look at this during the New Year and don't give me any benefits. What if I wear small shoes next year?" Yang Feng smiled.

"Yes, your consciousness has improved. If you have more, give me something, and I will give it away." Dong Yuxin smiled and agreed with Yang Feng's approach. Just like them, you can give gifts to others. Others, people don't dare to ask for it. They can only send some special foods, nothing will happen, and everyone is happy to eat.

"It should be about the same." Yang Feng had already prepared for this. Yang Feng opened the pot and fished out pigeon-sized birds. The meat was boiled red, which made people appetite at first sight. He handed it to Dong Yuxin and said, "Try the taste. how about it."

"Yeah! Very good." With a gentle tear, the small legs separated naturally, tore a piece of meat, and chewed gently in his mouth. Dong Yuxin couldn't help but nodded in praise.

"That's, for these things, I didn't bother much." Yang Feng smiled triumphantly, telling the truth, he was really busy in the Qingshan domain, but it was so busy that others couldn't see it.

"You also have this special skill, work hard, I am very optimistic about you." Dong Yuxin praised as he ate. After eating one, he remembered to ask, "What is this, pigeon?"

"Shaji." Yang Feng smiled.

"Oh! Just the one that weighs half a catty." Living in Shanghe Village, Dong Yuxin's knowledge has also risen and he knows what a sand grouse is.

"Yes, it's half a catty heavy." Yang Feng nodded and replied.

"I feel that a person has to eat more than a dozen to be full, I can't possibly eat something that weighs five or six catties, right?" Dong Yuxin asked puzzled.

"Half catty refers to live ones. The hair and internal organs are removed, and the bones are thrown away. It is only two or two pieces of meat. It is really not a problem to eat more than a dozen, but you can't eat too much, be careful of indigestion." Yang Feng explained Tao.

"Oh! Then I will eat two more and not eat." This time, without Yang Feng's greeting, Dong Yuxin went to the pot and fished one.

"I'm going to fry sparrows in a while! Don't blame me if you can't eat too much." Yang Feng had to remind.

"Then I will eat half of it, and give you half." Dong Yuxin kindly divided Yang Feng into half. The two of them fished out the pot, and Yang Feng boiled it again. Then he took out another pot and poured oil. When the sparrows were fried, the sparrows were naturally marinated.

Fried the sparrow until it was golden brown and took it out. Dong Yuxin couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It looked too tempting. When it got cold, he quickly picked up one and started eating. The meat was fresh and tender, and the bones were crispy. Absolutely.

In the afternoon, Pan Ming and Luo Ying came over. Seeing the situation in the yard, they were a little curious and a little surprised. Dong Yuxin greeted him unceremoniously, "Come on, it tastes very good."

Braised chicken, five-spice rabbit meat, eight-treasure pheasant, fried sparrow, any of the four things are enough to provoke people's greedy worms, let alone put the four together. When the two are full, Yang Feng will fry Sparrow was temporarily handed over to Dong Yuxin, and he moved out a vacuum packaging machine, and let Pan Ming and Luo Ying help packing.

"It's a big loss. I ate some of your chickens and spent the whole afternoon busy." In the evening, when work was over, Pan Ming shouted.

"My family, I will lose a little bit if I lose." Yang Feng said generously.

"It's our loss, what are you losing?" Pan Ming asked irritably.

"You have to buy this sand grouse for fifty yuan. If you count what you eat, you will make a lot of money." Yang Feng explained.

"Yu Xin, look at this person, everything can be associated with money, so vulgar." Pan Ming said with a smile.

"That's right, he's just a layman, we'll go on strike tomorrow." Dong Yuxin said.

The next day, not only they did not go on strike, but others joined, because the biggest hobby of these people living in Shanghe Village was eating. The next day's coolies included Liu Yan, Wu Sisi, and Dong Xuefei.

Yang Feng cooked this meat for half a month, and it was cooked until the young year. It was cooked every day from morning to night. Among them, Yang Feng went to Hefeng to trade with Brother Qiang several times, and Brother Qiang got it. There are a lot of good things, and Yang Feng naturally paid a lot of money.

After the new year, Yang Feng will start giving gifts. In the village, each leader has a box with two hares, two pheasants, three sand grouses, six sparrows, and a bag of Shanghe Village specialties. Shiitake.

After the delivery from the township, Yang Feng directly pulled a cart to the county. There are many people in this county. There are not only a few county chiefs and secretaries, but also the directors and deputy directors of the county bureaus, but they are only limited to this level. If everyone gives it, it's not enough.

The biggest cost is in the city. Yang Feng treats everyone equally. Everyone is a box. First, he went to the Education Bureau, leaving a box for the directors and deputy directors, and then went straight to the municipal party committee and government. Under the leadership of Secretary Dong Minghua, each office Then the districts and bureaus ran a trip. There were only six boxes left in a truck and handed them all to Dong Yuxin at night. There were some people who were to be sent by Dong Yuxin. The identity of Yang Feng, the village head, was not enough.

In the evening, Dong Yuxin led the way, followed by a truck, visited the provincial leader, and delivered a box of New Year’s goods. Everyone accepted it when they were polite. The Shanghe Village specialty products were just a little bit of food, which was not expensive. Things are still not up to the standards for bribery and bribery. Even if they do, these people cannot be caught collectively.

As a provincial official and the No. 1 in power in the Western Qin Province, Zhu Shenming does not have much to go to for entertainment. After get off work every day, he will return home on time to dine with his family, especially his lovely little grandson. As soon as I entered the door that day, I saw the little grandson who was just walking, holding something and chewing. He glanced at Zhu Shenming, who had just entered the door, and ignored it, and turned his attention to the food in his hands. .

Zhu Shenming smiled softly. This situation is a bit wrong. Usually when he sees himself back, this little guy will always run over happily. It seems that he is busy eating today. He picked it up in the past and asked lovingly: "An'an eat What is it, does it smell?"

"Flesh, fragrant." The little guy replied crisply.

"Dad, you are back. Give it to me. An An eats all oil." He Ying came out and hurriedly carried the child.

"It's okay, it's okay to wash with oil, what is this to eat?" Zhu Shenming smiled and asked curiously.

"Yu Xin sent it here. I don't know what it is, dad, try it. It's delicious." He Ying explained.

"Yeah! The taste is good, it's no wonder An An likes to eat so much." Zhu Shenming took a mouthful. He hasn't eaten good things, but it's the first time that he can make stewed pork so delicious.

"It's all!" Seeing three of the same boxes in the restaurant, Zhu Shenming walked over and took a look at a bag puzzledly. After a daze, he smiled and said, "The three no products are made in Shanghe Village. "

"It should be, Yuxin's child is very sensible. He said that he had An An, so he gave us two more boxes, and everyone else is one box." Grandma An An came out of the kitchen and said happily.

"Minghua's sons and daughters are so enviable! Give it to us and keep it for us to eat." Zhu Shenming smiled, he can only accept this love.

"I'm still thinking about waiting for Yingzi to go to Shanghe Village on the weekend to buy some pheasant and hare. Let's eat for the New Year, and Yuxin will deliver the prepared food." Seeing her grandson happily eating, It’s also nice to be grandma not to eat.

"Go, go and buy some more. My son and daughter are not allowed to eat when they come back for the New Year! These three boxes are not enough!" Zhu Shenming smiled, watching the old woman bring out a plate of golden fried sparrows and take it from the cabinet. I took out a bottle of wine and put it on the table. I couldn't help but smile again. This is Shanghe Village again. It seems that this evening is a characteristic of Shanghe Village.

After drinking two or two wines, three of six sparrows entered his stomach. He ate a lot of rabbit meat and pheasant. There were three people in total. Not to mention this, but the specialty of Shanghe Village was full and half. A rabbit, half a chicken, six sparrows, plus a sand grouse, this is the amount of food that Zhu's family has never had for dinner.

"Don't Yingzi go alone this Saturday. Let's go around together. It's snowing in the mountains. Take An An to see the snow." Drinking tea, Zhu Shenming thought that the more interesting he became, he decided to see it in person. Look, look at what this legendary Shanghe Village looks like.

And this evening, many homes in Nanling all tasted the delicacy of Shanghe Village. They felt that there was only one word—beauty. Then there were some complaints, “Who gave this! It’s too stingy to say Give me more."

"Just be content with you. Mayor Jiakang also has a box. It would be nice to have ours. Mayor Yang is very interesting." The lesson is also mostly like this. Others don't understand, but the people who received the gift are very good. Clearly, if Yang Feng could not afford it, there would be no reason for them.

In the evening, Dong's family also ate rabbit meat and chicken, and Dong Minghua also drank a couple of small wines, and said with emotion: "I am busy all day, and my life is not as good as someone else's village chief."

"You are okay to compare with Xiaofeng, whoever is more depressed than him." Lou Lan smiled.

"I found that the hardest thing in our family is me. Yuxin and Xuefei have to live in Shanghe Village for more than half a year, and my son has to live for at least three months this year. They eat well and drink well, just me. This is neither food nor drink." Dong Minghua laughed and joked.
