Hello, 1983

Chapter 136

"Qingshan, why don't you call and ask for help?"

The old party secretary was also in a hurry to buy a TV. If he didn't buy it again, his two grandsons would make a big mess in the Heavenly Palace, and the Jade Emperor in his family would be unable to hold him back.

Of course, Liu Qingshan also wanted to help everyone. First, it would enrich the lives of the villagers, and secondly, it would relieve the pressure on Grandpa's family.

Squeezing a room to watch TV every day, this kind of experience is okay for a day or two, but after a long time, everyone will get tired of it.

So without saying a word, he used the village phone to call Director Zhou of the county commercial bureau.

When Director Zhou was called to answer the phone, and heard that Liu Qingshan wanted to buy a few TV sets, Director Zhou naturally agreed.

A few TV tickets couldn't be easier for him.

But for the villagers in Jiapigou, it was a great event. Everyone gave a thumbs up and praised Liu Qingshan for his ability.

So we set the tone, and we will go to the county town to buy TV sets in the big liberation tomorrow.

The people in the team finally dispersed. Everyone had a smile on their faces, and they had money in their pockets. They felt a little light when they walked.

When Liu Qingshan returned home, it was already dark, and the lanterns on the lantern poles in the courtyard brightened the courtyard.

I saw the two old men, Grandpa and Grandpa Wang, who were cooking pigs' heads in the courtyard.

Liu Shikui set up a few bricks with wood burning inside, placed the pig's head and pig's feet on the bricks, and burned them black with fire.

In the yard, there was a faint scent of coke.

"Master, after eating the pig's feet, don't forget to keep Galaha for us."

Little Old Four has already started to think about the big Galaha in the big pig's hoof. The head is much bigger than the sheep's crutch, and there are other ways to play.

Liu Qingshan picked up the stove hook, hooked the pig's nose, and helped turn the pig's head over.

The surface of the pig's head is squeaking with oily flowers. After it is burnt, put it in warm water and soak it. Use a knife to scrape off a layer of the blackened part of the surface to remove the smell of oily sludge, and then you can put it in the pot.

Liu Qingshan felt that the food at this time was delicious. First, it was because it was not eaten often, and it was eaten once a year, so why not taste it carefully?

Another reason is also related to doing it yourself. When you eat something you make by yourself, you will definitely feel different from buying the finished product.

This year, a total of three sets of heads and hooves were put into the water. Except for one set to be eaten on February 2, the remaining two large pig heads, eight pig trotters, and two pig tails were all put on the water, and there was not a single pot. keep in.

One of the pig's heads, grandpa is going to make pig's head stew, which is definitely a good dish for drinking. Even Professor Wang is excited to get started.

When it was released, he ate pig's head stew once, and he still remembers it.

Liu Qingshan couldn't make pig's head stew, so his grandfather had to do it himself.

He cut the pig's head in half, cooked it in a pot, cut off the pig's ears separately, and fished out the pig's tongue and pig's tongue.

Pig tongue is a small strip, which is actually the upper teeth of the pig, that is, the upper jaw, which is composed of crispy bones and crunching when eaten.

However, these things are limited, and adults are afraid that children will follow suit, so there are a lot of rhetoric passed down:

It's hard to write words when you eat chicken feet, it's going to rain when you get married, and you're afraid of the future when you eat pig tails, etc. This makes the little ones very depressed, and they can't eat anything.

The cooked pork head meat is taken into a pot, and the bones are removed while it is still hot. Then, dry tofu is placed on the outside, and then wrapped tightly with gauze, and rolled into a meat tube.

The wrapped meat tube should be pressed with a heavy object on the top, so that the excess fat can be pressed out slowly, and it will not be greasy to eat.

After a whole night of pressing, the pork head meat can be completely condensed into one, full of elasticity, dipped in garlic paste,

It tastes strong, fragrant but not greasy.

After helping grandpa put the pig's head and pig's feet into the pot, Liu Qingshan entered the house, took out a few stacks of money, and started to distribute.

"Eldest sister, this is the money you sell the white striped chicken."

"This is Master's money, Mom, you should save it first."

"This is our family's dividend money, Mom, let it go to you first."

"This is the old sister's dividend money, Mom, let it go to you first!"

"and many more!"

Yang Hongying rushed in front of Liu Qingshan, staring at him with big black and white eyes: "Sanfeng'er, I don't need to deposit my money with the godmother, right?"

Liu Qingshan blinked his eyes twice and said unhurriedly: "You are different from my eldest sister. She is already married, and you are not married yet. According to our rules, unmarried daughters must turn over the money to make money."

Lin Zhi also knew that Sanfeng was joking with Yang Hongying, so she handed over the dividends that belonged to her.

Yang Hongying counted it carefully and found that there were more than 500, and immediately smiled happily:

"Qingshan, who knows how to work as a carpenter in the village? It's winter vacation right now, and there are no classes at school. You can get some desks and chairs. I'll pay for the wages and materials."

This old lady is really arrogant, Liu Qingshan gave her a thumbs up: "Old lady, don't worry about this, the old party secretary has already arranged for Zhang Zizi and his family to do it, and the money comes from the public accumulation of the cooperative."

Following that, he snorted again: "Sister, this money, let's keep it for myself as a dowry."

Obviously, saying this is to clean up. Seeing Yang Hongying's claws and claws, Liu Qingshan hurriedly picked up another stack of money: "Shan Xing, this is your bonus money."

When Shan Xing took over the bunch of Great Unity, she was a little dumbfounded: "Brother, my piggy bank doesn't seem to fit!"

The fourth brother's eyes lit up next to him: "It's alright, give me half of it and put it in my jar. Just remember the number of Shan Xing."

Looking at the two little girls, one of yours and one of mine, the corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth turned up slightly.

...

The next morning, it was already the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. In the morning, I ate bean-wrapped steamed buns and rice with rice and water.

In addition to the small pickles on the table, there is also a plate of crystal clear pig's head stuffed.

Grandpa also asked Shan Xing to boil a pot of wine, held a small wine cup with Professor Wang, sandwiched a trembling pig's head stew, and took a sip of shochu.

Liu Qingshan also ate a few slices of pig's head stew. Grandpa's craftsmanship is really good. The excess oil in the pig's head stew is pressed out. It's fat but not greasy. It's really fragrant!

Before he could finish his meal, someone came to the door and beckoned him to buy a TV in the county.

By the time we got to the team site, the Great Liberation had already started, and the trucks were full of people.

In addition to people who buy TV sets, there are also people who plan to go to the county to buy other items.

Liu Qingshan also started his jeep, and the two cars, one after the other, slowly left Jiapigou and went straight to Bishui County.

When I got to the county seat, I parked the car directly at the winery, and the people dispersed, leaving only those who bought TVs.

Liu Qingshan first threw a small basket of eggs to the old man Li of the winery, and then drove a jeep to Lao Zhou of the Commerce Bureau to get TV tickets.

He also left a small basket of eggs, and then returned to the winery, leading the villagers to rush to the Wujinjiaodian store in the county, where the TV tickets belonged.

After handing over the TV ticket to Captain Zhang, he drove to the county government again, intending to leave a basket of eggs for Zheng Hongqi.

After all, this month, eggs are considered a new thing, and ordinary chickens are still resting.

Even if you have money, there is no place to buy it.

When I asked Lao Suntou at the door, I found out that the government has also had a holiday, except for the leaders on duty who are still on duty.

"Then Magistrate Zheng is going home for the New Year?"

Liu Qingshan asked another question. He knew that Zheng Hongqi was not a local, but who he was. He had never talked about this issue, and he did not know.

The old grandson thought for a while and said, "It seems that he is still in the guest house. Come and have a look. Can you report to me about the county magistrate?"

"Aren't you always in charge of the county magistrate and secretary? If you don't open the door, they won't be able to enter the courtyard."

Liu Qingshan made a joke with the old man, and went to the hostel again amid the laughter and scolding of the other party.

He was also a regular customer here. He asked a waiter and said that Magistrate Zheng didn't leave, and he didn't seem to be planning to go home for the Chinese New Year.

It shouldn't be, your county magistrate is so focused on work, and others say, but don't you have a sister?

Confused, Liu Qingshan knocked on Zheng Hongqi's door and was next to Zheng Xiaoxiao's room.

It was Zheng Xiaoxiao who opened the door, and when she saw Liu Qingshan carrying an egg basket, she was obviously taken aback: "Stubborn... how come you are here?"

Zheng Hongqi, who was sitting on the bed reading the newspaper, also stood up and greeted him with a smile: "It's Qingshan, welcome."

Then he complained to his sister again: "Xiaoxiao, your classmates are here, so why don't you invite guests into the room quickly? By the way, what did you want to say just now?"

Zheng Xiaoxiao blinked his big eyes twice: "I feel very surprised, classmate Liu Qingshan, please come in."

Liu Qingshan, who felt that something was not right, scratched his head and didn't think much about it. After entering the house, he put the basket on the ground:

"This is a laying hen raised by my eldest sister. It's starting to lay eggs. Let the county magistrate try it."

Zheng Hongqi laughed twice: "Qingshan, don't call the county magistrate in private, just call me Big Brother Zheng or Big Brother Hongqi."

When the two were chatting, Zheng Xiaoxiao washed a few Guoguang apples and brought them over.

At this time, there were only a few apples such as Guoguang and Huang Marshal.

Of course, Liu Qingshan is welcome, pick up one and nibble, the taste is sweet and sour, very good.

The most important thing is that the apples at this time are not waxed, so you can eat them with confidence.

After chatting for a while, Liu Qingshan also called Brother Zheng.

Maybe it's New Year's Eve, Zheng Hongqi's mood is more complicated, and he wants to talk to someone, so he told Liu Qingshan a lot, many of which are about the situation at home.

Liu Qingshan also finally learned that Zheng Hongqi was also a native of the capital, and the elders of the family all died in grievances during that special period.

This kind of thing is not uncommon at the moment, Liu Qingshan can't say anything, he can only say something relieved: "Brother Zheng, our hearts should always be looking forward to the future, right?"

Zheng Hongqi looked at this little guy who was between a teenager and a young man, but he seemed to be facing an old friend for many years, and his heart seemed to be relieved a lot at once.

So he nodded and changed the subject: "Qingshan, listen to the small novel, your final exam score is the first in the grade, you can help her when you have time."

Zheng Hongqi was even more happy when she saw her sister wrinkling her nose quietly and making faces.

He knows his younger sister too well, and she has always been strong in her studies. This time, she came second in the exam, but she was overwhelmed by the young man in front of her, and she was definitely unwilling to admit defeat.

"Brother Zheng, I just happened to be the first in the exam, it's nothing."

Of course, Liu Qingshan had to say a few words of modesty. Seeing Zheng Xiaoxiao bulging his cheeks on the side, he couldn't help but want to tease her again:

"Little classmate, if you work hard next semester, you will definitely surpass me."

Zheng Xiaoxiao stood up at once, as if he was about to explode.

However, she suddenly smiled again and stretched out Bai Nen's little hand in front of Liu Qingshan:

"Liu Qingshan, it seems that you still owe me 12 yuan for tuition. It's been half a year. Do you have to calculate the interest?"

This time, it was Liu Qingshan's turn to be dumbfounded.

He wasn't going to buy anything when he came, so he really didn't have any money in his pocket.

No, in the future, you must bring money in your pocket, and it will be embarrassing to be chased for debts, okay?

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Liu Qingshan's mind: "Brother Zheng, little classmates, why don't you go to my house for the New Year, just in time for me to repay the debt by the way?"
