My 1995 Small Farm - #734 - Vol 3 Chapter 723:
Chapter 723
The thing Wang Juxiang did seems to be done by someone like him.
If the villagers are really asked to beg for help, or to beg for help from strangers who come to the village from other places, most people still can’t tell.
It is not good to be a groveling person and not familiar with others, but to ask for help when you come up.
This is similar to keeping a family scandal in public. If you tell people about your family’s bad things, sometimes they won’t be able to help you and they will still laugh at you.
But Wang Juxiang and Liang Guizhen dare to bring little Japan home. In addition to recognizing money but not people, they also like to curry favor with people.
It’s normal to do something that everyone thinks is tacky.
But this time.
He really got this done right.
Friends from Hong Kong and Taiwan not only went directly to the county to talk to people about this matter, but also concluded the matter in one visit.
The county promised to build a temple and archway for Prince Turtle, leaving the villagers of Chenwangzhuang to make their own decisions.
Villagers will no longer be forced to cut down trees and seize homesteads.
Originally, Lao Niwai’s mother-in-law thought it was a great thing to hear that these respectable compatriots were willing to stand up for them.
Things are really settled now.
This can already make the villagers faint with happiness.
The village originally planned to organize people to go to the county for these two days, but there is no need to go now.
Moreover, the two groups of people in Hong Kong and Taiwan are really big-hearted.
Perhaps they don’t think the little thing they did to help the villagers is a big deal.
Still thinking about what Chen Ling said yesterday about letting them come for dinner today, the representatives of the two groups came together in a lively manner after they returned from the county.
Wang Laishun also followed.
The troublesome matter was finally solved, and Wang Laishun’s face finally lit up with joy.
Even when he saw Erhei running around, his face looked much better. For the first time, he even said hello to Erhei and teased the responsible dog.
Speaking of which, the return of Hong Kong Island this year is a big event. Friends from Hong Kong Island who visit us will definitely pay more attention to it.
Zheng Shaoqiu and the others came to Chenwangzhuang specially, and the county leaders must receive them.
I just didn’t expect that they were having fun on the way here, stopping here and there to take a look, and they were deceived and robbed. How could they know when they arrived?
Moreover, he didn’t show up in the county for two days and went straight to Chenwangzhuang.
There is no news at all.
Waiting left and right, no one was waiting…
The result caught them off guard as soon as he showed up.
The county leaders never expected that these people would go to them because of something happening in the village. This was a loss of face in front of compatriots from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it was a bit embarrassing to be made.
However, Chenwangzhuang is quite special after all. It can be said to be the focus of the entire county or even the entire city.
Moreover, there were also personnel sent from the province and city to accompany us.
So Wang Laishun’s requests to the county were successfully accepted.
“We don’t just show off our big names with empty words, we also have conditions…”
Zheng Shaoqiu curled up his lips and said with a smile: “After discussion between the two parties, we are ready to donate money to renovate the village primary school.”
What he means is that they didn’t go there and the county just agreed in the name of their Hong Kong and Taiwan compatriots.
After all, they were not directly under the superiors’ private inspection, and the county leaders did not make any mistakes.
To put it bluntly, Chen Wangzhuang can produce political achievements.
Hong Kong and Taiwan friends donated money to expand the school, which is also a glorious political achievement.
With healthy exchanges, the county will look good, the villagers will feel comfortable, and it will be a win-win situation for everyone.
Chen Ling was slightly stunned.
Wang Lixian and the others were a little confused after hearing this.
Just as he was about to speak, Cen Yulian said with a smile: “We are late. Boss Xiao Chen, please give us some work, otherwise we will be embarrassed to eat.”
It is now six o’clock in the evening.
It was getting dark.
Chen Ling waved his hands and said with a smile: “It’s getting dark, it’s time to eat, let’s go eat first? Besides, Qiu Guan, Sister Cen, and Mr. Wu, you not only solved problems for the village, but also donated money to build the school, right?” These are two great things for us. It’s too late for me to thank you, so how can I give you work?”
“Those who have to work, those who have to work, do some work to make a living. I see the lights are on over here. Do you want to start work at night?”
Mr. Wu from Wandao, with gray hair slicked back and gold-rimmed glasses, kept saying.
Chen Ling said that there would be no construction at night, and the lights would be turned on just for lighting purposes when it got dark just now.
This electric light is also a wire drawn from Wang Lixian’s greenhouse. Two bulbs are hung for temporary illumination.
While Chen Ling was talking to Zheng Shaoqiu and Wu Lao, the villagers slowly came to their senses.
This guy, it turns out that these people not only helped the village solve the problem of Prince Turtle erecting a temple, but also donated money to renovate the school.
The villagers suddenly became excited.
I want to say something, but I am afraid that I will be looked down upon by others if I am surprised.
Everyone suppressed their surprise and gasped, went to the side and started talking in low voices.
After some discussion, the general idea was that these people are from Hong Kong Island and Bay Island after all, and they are not the same as Professor Zhao and Professor Zhong who buy large agricultural machinery for the village…
One of these two places has just returned, and the other will return sooner or later. In my heart, I still feel that the mainland is poor. We are grateful and grateful. We cannot be groveling or behaving in a low manner, which will make them look down upon us.
As for what to do next, let’s leave it to Fugui.
Why don’t people still find rich people to work for a living?
After they finished their discussion, Chen Ling also waved and said, “It’s getting dark, folks, stop working. Let’s go for a walk. Go home and eat. Don’t you all think about eating pig head meat? That’s enough.” That’s enough. Let’s all eat more.”
As soon as Chen Ling called for dinner, everyone stopped talking and relaxed.
Many people came spontaneously to work hard, just hoping for a bite of pork head in the evening.
Now that I’m about to eat, the only thing on my mind is eating meat. The big red pig heads are flying all over my mind, so I can’t think of anything else.
He Jiawen’s teachers, Zheng Shaoqiu and Wu Lao were also gearing up and looking forward to tasting the pork head meat that the villagers praised to the sky.
“Eat meat, eat meat!”
Three little guys from Ruirui each held a small stick in their hands, shouting and waving in the donkey cart driven by Wang Laishun.
Had it not been for the large number of people in the greenhouse building today and the company of her friends, Ruirui, who had dinner at five o’clock every day, would have been too hungry by this time. “Woof!”
At this time, Erhei behind the crowd suddenly yelled and rushed forward with the dogs.
“What’s wrong? What are the dogs barking? Are there wild animals coming down the mountain? I heard that there are wolves and leopards in the mountains that come down at night…”
Zheng Shaoqiu and the others asked nervously as they didn’t know why.
Chen Ling shook his head: “Don’t worry, it’s okay. My two big dogs haven’t barked yet.”
The villagers also said that Erhei was the dog in charge, and he must have seen something happen again.
Some people also said that the wild geese may have been attracted to the west of the village, and the children may have caught the wild geese.
But I just walked past the weir pond and was going to Chen Ling’s house…
Two bright flashlights came from a distance. Under the bright light, Erhei and the others swung their tails and ran over steadily holding a basket of steamed buns in their mouths.
“Ah? Did they just find out that the owner was sending steamed buns over to help? Is this… is this still a dog?” Zheng Shaoqiu and others were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
“Haha, what’s the big deal? Dogs from wealthy families know a lot of things, you’ll know about it later!”
What the villagers like to see the most is the way these rich people from out of town are being restrained by the Chen Ling family’s dogs.
No matter how big your business is, no matter how much money you make in the city, you still have to look like this when you come to our village.
Then he told them about it again.
Many bosses came to Chen Ling to buy fish fry, cart after cart. At first, they bought 8,000 fish, but now they buy more and more, and they buy tens of thousands of fish at a time.
There are also those who buy eggs and use them to hatch chicks.
Some people even came to match Chen Ling with a dog, and they paid thousands of dollars at a time, but Chen Ling was not willing to do so.
The villagers exaggerated whatever they said.
The main thing is to boast about a bullshit, and it will be satisfying.
Zheng Shaoqiu, Wu Lao and others all listened with gusto. Wu Lao, an old man who is said to be a writer from Wandao, smiled and nodded while listening, saying repeatedly: “I believe it! I believe it!”
Of course they believed it.
Who is behind Liang Yuemin’s braised beef noodles? Others don’t know, but they know it all.
They don’t just know Chen Ling from cartoons and Zhao Yubao’s articles…
Before coming here, I also inquired about the situation here from various channels.
When I came here, I had a playful mentality at first, and then I verified everything I heard.
Then they found out.
What I heard about it was already an exaggeration. When I came to the village, what I actually saw was even more exaggerated than what I heard about it.
Now there is only food cooked by Chen Ling’s family that I haven’t tasted yet.
The women who came to deliver the steamed buns were Liu Yuzhi and Da Nier.
Chen Ling’s family is stewing meat in a big pot, so they use the unused pots of other houses to steam steamed buns.
It happened to be dark at this time, and the women knew that it was time to eat, so they all picked out the steamed buns and sent them to their homes.
They didn’t expect that Erhei would come to pick them up with a pack of dogs.
But Erhei often takes care of things and the children in the village. Anyone who goes to the water has to drag the children back, and they are used to it.
So not only was it not strange, but I actually talked to Erhei and the others along the way.
Say something like “Erhei looks good again” or “He looks strong again”.
It made people even more surprised.
Chen Ling and the others also went to help take over the two baskets of steamed buns.
And took the three little kids to go home first.
There is a lot of meat and a lot of steamed buns today.
The difference between this kind of thing in the village, which uses people to work hard, and weddings and weddings, is that more steamed buns must be prepared.
The gentlemen in the countryside put in the effort and paired it with some fragrant meat and vegetables, and the three steamed buns were just the base.
“Ah, I smell the fragrance, it smells so good, it really smells good!”
As soon as the crowd walking behind turned into the alley next to Chen Ling’s house, an old lady from Wandao smelled the smell of meat and reacted greatly.
“I smelled it too. It’s no exaggeration to say that I suddenly smelled this smell… This smell made me want to cry…”
“I think of the first time I ate meat when I was a child. I smelled the aroma and I was so greedy that I wanted to eat the whole bowl together…”
The man from the club on Hong Kong Island said with a complicated expression.
Although he was born in poverty, at his current stage, he has tasted countless delicacies.
It was difficult to find food that would make him feel like he had the drooling feeling of wanting to eat meat but not being able to eat it when he was a child.
But just smelling the fragrance in this small village in the hinterland made him regain that feeling.
“Don’t talk nonsense, the meat has started to be harvested in the yard, hurry up and get in line, be careful not to eat it if you are late!”
In the courtyard, Chen Ling had already scooped out all the steaming pig head meat into a large basin. Each pig head was a deep red sauce color. Because it had been fried in an oil pan and simmered for a long time, the skin had turned into a tiger-like color. Skin-like, exudes a rich fragrance.
Chen Ling put down the cutting board, stuck a steaming pig’s head on it, threw it on the cutting board, and chopped it with a knife.
The tongue and ears were also taken out and cut into pieces.
The fat ones, the thin ones, the tongues, and the ears are put into a bowl each, and they are quickly poured into the bowls for everyone.
What a guy, just looking at it can make you cry.
Zheng Shaoqiu and Mr. Wu helped the village solve a problem today, and they were pushed to the front by the villagers.
They were so excited when they saw the bowls of pig head meat.
Scramble to get forward.
“I need more soup, Boss Xiao Chen, I need more soup!”
“I want to add pig ears to mine, please add more, please, pig ears are very fragrant!”
…”
Everyone picked up the bowls and began to use chopsticks to scoop the steamed buns into their mouths.
The meat finally went into my mouth. The first thing I felt was the aroma, and then it burned my mouth. But even if there were tears in my eyes, I couldn’t bear to spit them out. Instead, they just ‘hissed, hissed’ in my mouth. He sucked and stroked back and forth.
“It’s delicious, so delicious. From today on, this braised pig head will be the most delicious thing in my mind.”
