Chapter 283 Oh my, it turns out the boss can also write love chapters!
There were many people helping Jiang Yi's family slaughter the pigs, and they had to get up before dawn to slaughter the pigs, so the two pigs were slaughtered in one morning.
All that needs to be made into bacon is sent back to Jiang Yi's home. All that is needed is to wait for the meat to cool down, marinate it with salt for a few days, take it out to dry the moisture, and then smoke it.
In the afternoon, everyone will stuff sausages from the two pigs.
During the meal, Zhang Hongmei and Yang Wenhui picked up some food for Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang looked at the bowl that was quickly filling up, and suddenly felt a sweet burden.
But she couldn't bear to refuse them.
Xu Jianping saw her embarrassment and said, "Aunt Yang, Mom, please stop serving food to Xiao Tang. I think she's almost crying because of this bowl of food."
Xiao Tang was originally very grateful to Xu Jianping for speaking up for her, but after hearing the last sentence, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment and she quickly said, "No, no, I just can't eat so much, that's why I didn't cry."
Everyone else sitting at the table glanced at Xu Jianping, their eyes all saying: Can you speak, kid?
It turns out he has no emotional intelligence at all.
Xu Jianping: “…”
……
After dinner, Yang Wenhui asked Jiang Yi to watch the two elders leave.
Stared at by Jiang Yi's sharp eyes, the two elders dared not stay any longer. They wiped their greasy mouths and went back.
In the afternoon, everyone continued to kill chickens and ducks and make sausages. The chickens and ducks would then be made into cured meat together with the meat.
The weather was cold and the mountain wind was strong. Jiang Yi was worried that Xu Yu would be cold, so he asked her to stay in the house with the three children.
Xu Jianhua was asked to take care of Huanhuan and his little nephew. Even if he really wanted to go outside to watch them kill chickens and ducks, he could only lie by the window and watch.
Huanhuan followed suit and also leaned over the window to look outside.
Kang Kang was sleeping soundly in the cradle.
Xiao Tang watched outside for a while and found that he could not help at all, so he simply came in and talked with Xu Yu while warming himself by the fire.
Xiao Tang asked, "Xiao Yu, how did your family make so many preserved meats this year?"
"We're going to send some people."
Xu Yu smiled and said to Xiao Tang: "I'm going to the provincial capital after my confinement."
Xiao Tang smiled and nodded, saying, "I heard from Aunt Yang that this year, in addition to making smoked meat, your family will also make air-dried meat. It must be delicious when it's done."
Xu Yu smiled: "Eat more then."
"That's not what I meant." Xiao Tang felt as if he was asking Xu Yu for food, feeling a little embarrassed. He hurriedly explained, "The bacon and sausage made with the marinade your family prepared last year were delicious."
Xu Yu smiled and took her hand, saying, "I know. Besides, there are things prepared for you here."
Xiao Tang looked at Xu Yu's smiling eyes and suddenly stopped being pretentious. He smiled and said, "Then I'll wait."
"Well, I'll definitely give it to you before the New Year."
"it is good……"
Then Xiao Tang and Xu Yu talked about the business trip.
Although it was his second time to visit a large factory, Xiao Tang was still filled with admiration.
Xiao Tang talked about the dormitory building of that large factory for a while before saying, "My uncle said that the trend will be better next year. He will visit more large factories. I plan to go with him."
Xu Yu nodded and said, "If you go out more often, your horizons will be broadened."
"Right," Xiao Tang said. "If we had a factory that big here, Xu Jianping could just raise enough pigs to supply the whole factory. Especially since their factory has a living area with people selling vegetables and meat. The workers there are more willing to eat than our workers here, and they get more meat coupons every month than we do."
"This time when I went out, I also heard that one or two places have already abolished the collective system and implemented the household contract system."
"Xiao Yu, I think the household contract responsibility system will definitely be implemented throughout the country in the near future. When that happens, private ownership will be allowed, and there won't be so many restrictions on buying meat. Selling pork will definitely make a lot of money."
Xu Yu nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Tang became more and more excited as he spoke: "Then let Xu Jianping raise more pigs, raise hundreds of them!"
Xu Yu smiled and said, "You can talk to my second brother about this. After all, you going to a big factory will be more convincing. No matter how much we talk, he won't dare to take the risk."
Xiao Tang nodded decisively: "Okay."
After saying this, Xiao Tang suddenly asked Xu Yu: "Xiao Yu, have you decided on the names of the babies?"
Xu Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "We don't know their gender yet. We plan to wait until I give birth before choosing."
Xiao Tang thought this was fine and nodded in agreement.
Xu Yu gets hungry easily now.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, she wanted to eat.
She stood by the door and said to Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, I want to eat some barbecue."
Jiang Yi put down the work he was doing and said to her, "Go in, I'll start baking right away."
Xu Yu retreated in.
Xiao Tang looked at Jiang Yi, who was holding an empty bowl and walking towards the sausage-stuffing area, and said to Xu Yu with a smile, "Comrade Jiang is truly a very good man."
Xu Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Tang looked at Xu Yu's belly, and thought of something. He asked her, "Xiao Yu, your belly is so big, how are you going to take a shower or go to the toilet?"
She imagined Xu Yu squatting down to go to the toilet and felt that it was too difficult.
Xu Yu smiled and said, "I asked Brother Yi to build a toilet in our bathroom that I can sit on, so I don't have to squat."
Xiao Tang suddenly realized: "Just now when I went to the toilet, I saw a bucket-like thing next to the squatting place where you can sit down. It turned out to be prepared for you."
"Correct."
It was the first time that Xiao Tang saw something that allowed pregnant women to go to the toilet while sitting. She felt it was a bit strange, and was also a bit confused as to how they could go to the toilet while sitting.
But she didn't ask this question.
Jiang Yi quickly grilled a bowl of sausage meat for Xu Yu.
Xu, Jianhua and Huanhuan smelled the aroma of meat, but they didn't come over. They just stared at the meat with gleaming eyes and kept swallowing their saliva.
Even Xiao Tang couldn't help swallowing.
Xu Yu was also tempted by the aroma, so he asked the three of them to eat together.
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
Jiang Yi glanced at them and said, "I'll ask Jianping to bake some more for you."
After saying that, he took out a hot apple from his pocket and handed it to Xu Yu: "Eat the barbecue first and then eat the apple."
Xu Yu took the apple and put it in his pocket.
Not long after Jiang Yi left, Xu Jianping brought in another bowl of grilled meat for Xiao Tang and the other two.
The meat with seasoning was so delicious, but Xiao Tang ate it reservedly. Xu Jianhua was not polite and not only ate it himself, but also fed Huanhuan.
Xu Jianping said to Xu Jianhua: "Jianhua, you are a man, don't fight with female comrades for food."
Xu Jianhua had no choice but to stop and stare at the barbecue with his eyes.
Seeing his younger brother like this, Xu Yu smiled and said to Xu Jianping, "Second brother, go tell Brother Yi that we should have barbecue tonight. Go get some vegetables from the fields and grill them together."
Xu Jianping nodded and went out.
After eating the barbecue, Xiao Tang and his friends were even more looking forward to the barbecue in the evening.
The barbecue in the evening included not only pork, but also chicken, duck, game, and the radishes and cabbages that were available in the fields at that time.
Last year, Xu Yu asked Jiang Yi to go to the blacksmith shop to make an iron rack for barbecue, and now it is just right to use.
The atmosphere was even more lively than lunch.
Jiang Qingyun also took a few young people back to bring back the fruit wine they had made in the fall.
Most people poured themselves fruit wine.
While Xu Jianping was pouring the wine, he asked Xiao Tang, "Xiao Tang, would you like some drinks?"
Xiao Tang could drink, so he nodded and asked for half a bowl.
Xu Yu definitely won’t drink it.
Jiang Yi didn't drink either.
Xu Yu smiled and said, "Brother Yi, you should drink something too."
She knew that he had a good alcohol tolerance and good drinking habits, so she wasn't worried about what would happen if he got drunk.
Especially since he has been more nervous than her recently. Although he didn't say anything, she knew that he was worried, scared and anxious about her upcoming baby, so she wanted him to drink some wine to relax.
Jiang Yi shook his head and refused: "No, I won't drink. I won't be able to take good care of you after drinking."
After hearing this, before Xu Yu could even open his mouth, several men started to make a fuss.
"Oh my, it turns out the boss can also say sweet words!"
"Sure enough, my sister-in-law is amazing. She can make the boss say such disgusting things."
"Who would have thought that the boss could say such nice things before? Sister-in-law, you don't know..."
Then there was a complaining session among a few people.
These people all hold official positions and were once Jiang Yi's subordinates.
They had obviously been severely disciplined by Jiang Yi's 'cold-blooded' training, and they wished Xu Yu could discipline Jiang Yi right then and there.
The others were delighted to hear this.
Xu Jianping smiled and said, "I actually understand how these people feel. When I was learning boxing from Jiang Yi, he was never polite to me. At first, my arms hurt so much that even cleaning out pig manure was a problem."
Xu Jianhua also had his say: "Yes, my brother-in-law was very strict when he taught me boxing. I didn't dare to slack off at all."
This made everyone laugh again.
