Actually, Zhan Fei knew that they did not have the guts to try to be mean. They were the kind of people that only bullied the weak and feared the strong. Today, they had grumbled for a long time.

Normally, Zhan Fei wouldn't have said anything, but yesterday he was just going to let Gao Yang be his future daughter-in-law. Today, they were actually going to say something about Gao Yang. If he could really hold it in, then it would be weird!

When they heard Zhan Fei's words, all of their complexions turned ugly. Their faces weren't trained to such a degree. Today, Zhan Fei was the one to tear everything apart.

They really couldn't show it on their faces, especially at a time like this.

The people around them who heard what they said all looked at them with disdain, especially those who looked at them with contempt. They usually looked down on them for being farmers.

This made them unable to accept the fact that they didn't dare to say anything and turned around to leave, not even having the face to eat anymore.

When Zhan Fei saw them, he didn't say anything else and turned around to help.

Gao Yang looked at the village Pig Slaughterer. The knife rapidly moved back and forth on the pig's body, cutting open its stomach. Gao Yang no longer washed the vegetables.

He stared at the butcher's knife. When the people who were washing vegetables saw Gao Yang's appearance, they knew that this girl had never seen the village's culinary skills before.

They didn't think Gao Yang would be able to do much work. Besides, in a village of three hundred people, there were a lot of women helping. Besides, the only things they washed were cabbage, potatoes, and radishes.

After a while, they were done with their work. Basically, Gao Yang didn't need to do anything, and with Gao Yang's small body, they weren't willing to point fingers at her at all. If she wanted to play, then go play!

In fact, rural people do not have too many twists and turns, they are as long as you are good to me, I will be good to you.

Even if rural women like to fuss about it, it's because they think their men and children can eat more.

It didn't matter much to them as they were still poor and quarrelsome. Who wouldn't want their family to be harmonious with one another? However, the current circumstances didn't allow it. Didn't they all want to get more things?

Gao Yang didn't care about washing the vegetables. Her eyes were unblinkingly staring at the Pig Slaughterer's knife. Gao Yang felt that the Pig Slaughtering Craftsman was simply too amazing.

It was just a pig. He quickly removed the pig head and hoof, and a moment later, Gao Yang saw him take out the pig's stomach and lungs and put them into their respective bowls.

At the same time, the bones of the pigs were quickly removed. The women in the village worked together, washing vegetables and chopping vegetables.

Seeing this, Gao Yang knew that he shouldn't cause any more trouble. She watched as the village auntie put the shaved pig bones and pig feet into the pot, then put the seasonings on the fire to cook.

On the other side, Gao Yang saw the village auntie washing the pigs' intestines. They were reluctant to use cornmeal, but they also had their own methods. They used burnt ashes, washed them clean, rubbed them with salt, and washed them clean.

The pigs' intestines and lungs were also in the pot. Since they didn't have any pig's blood, they couldn't fill their intestines. However, Gao Yang could tell from the way they were eating that they were going to use pigs' intestines for the pickles.

After the pig's head and hooves were cooked, they would fish them out and serve them to the village people who had higher statuses and seniority. The remaining bones of the pig would be put into the radishes that they cut and simmer slowly, along with a pot of pancakes that they stuck onto.

Furthermore, the captain took out another half of the pork. They cut the pork into pieces and stir-fried it to give a nice smell. Then, they slowly stewed it with cabbage potatoes.

As the fragrance of the pot wafted out, the children in the village circled around the pot.

Finally, under the orders of the captain, "Time to eat."

The village men sat with the men, the women and children sat together, and the village aunts served the dishes.

Although there were only half a pig and there weren't many people in the village, there was still plenty of food.

Since their family wasn't well-off, they were happy to have a meal with meat on it.

Gao Yang also ate the pig slaughtering vegetables that Aunt Li wanted to eat. However, when Gao Yang looked at the table, it didn't matter that there weren't many pieces of meat left.

Despite the fact that most of them were just dishes, they still ate happily. Gao Yang lamented that it was really easy to satisfy these people, but he didn't know what would happen ten or twenty years later.

When people's conditions were good, would they still think of today's pig slaughtering vegetables?

Could he still think of how he would be satisfied just because of a few pieces of pork?

It wasn't that Gao Yang wasn't willing to part with all the pork, but this wild boar was at least half as good as Zhan Fei.

Besides, the villagers were quite satisfied that they could take out half the pork. They just didn't know if this was what people often said.

After they finished eating, Gao Yang looked at the clean dishes on the table. Everyone took their bowls and bowls and went back home.

Rural people make marks on their own pots, so there is no mistake.

Gao Yang came empty-handed and left empty-handed.

She didn't care about the pork. Zhan Fei would take it back, and seeing how Zhan Fei did things, he would also give some to the captain and the pig slaughterer. Gao Yang didn't care at all.

Gao Yang thought that if there was too much meat left over, she would give it to Great Auntie Li. If there was too little, she would give it to them from the space when she went to the city for the new year.

Gao Yang returned home. Not long after he opened the door, Zhan Fei returned with half a leaf of pork on his shoulder.

She didn't just stand there watching and didn't do anything. She helped to take it down. Since the bones of the pig had been shaved off, Gao Yang cut the meat into small pieces.

While Zhan Fei was slicing Gao Yang's meat into chunks, he told Gao Yang to leave less than ten pounds of meat on the pig's hind legs.

The exterior of the Northeast was now a natural cold storage. He would put the pork in the snow and pour cold water on it. As long as the snow did not melt, the meat would not break.

Gao Yang also cut out a piece of pork about three pounds in size and prepared to send it to Auntie Li later.

The remaining ten or so pounds of meat were estimated to have Gao Yang throw it into the snow and pour it all over the snow to freeze.

When it was time to eat, just take the axe and break the ice, then pour water over it and freeze.

This way, he wouldn't have to be afraid of the wild mouth pests, and there were very few villagers who would come to steal meat.

After she finished cooking the meat, Zhan Fei followed Gao Yang into the room. "What are you going to do with this piece of meat?" Giving it away? "

Gao Yang cast a sidelong glance at Zhan Fei, wanting to see through his thoughts from his eyes. Zhan Fei did not let Gao Yang down, so he said this smilingly.

"I'm not going home for the new year. I'm going to take this piece of meat home."

Gao Yang glanced at him sideways and said, "Aren't you afraid that something might have happened or that someone might have eaten you?"

When Zhan Fei saw Gao Yang's expression, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't dare express what he intended to do to Gao Yang. "As long as you wrap it up in a bag, it shouldn't break under normal circumstances," he said. Besides, who dares to steal things now? Aren't they afraid of getting caught? "

When Gao Yang heard Zhan Fei's words, he knew that he had made up his mind to leave with the meat. That's true. Right now, the city wasn't as good as their village.

At the very least, there was no need to buy food from the countryside based on tickets. After all, there was nothing that could be bought in the city without a ticket. It was really inconvenient to eat meat.

"Then I'll use salt to marinate it for you. It would be a pity if it gets even worse in the middle of the process. This way, the meat can be stored for a little longer."

In truth, Gao Yang wasn't angry. He couldn't bear to part with this piece of meat. She was angry at herself. She was clearly just a stranger that wasn't very familiar with her, so why couldn't she bear to have feelings for him?

Zhan Fei heard Gao Yang's grumbling tone and remained calm. He felt that Gao Yang was angry, but he didn't know why.

He decided to observe more before deciding. Looking at Gao Yang's expression, it didn't seem like he was unwilling to part with the meat. However, Gao Yang was still angry, which made him a bit puzzled.

Gao Yang did not say anything else and just took the salt to start marinating the meat. Before this, there was no refrigerator in the countryside. He was afraid that if the meat was bad, it would be salted with salt and some seasonings. When Gao Yang was young, he also ate quite a bit of her mother's salted meat.

So she thought back to her mother's order and slowly started to make her move.

Gao Yang finished marinating the meat, washed his hands, and said, "I'll take this piece of meat to Auntie Li. Take a look at this piece of meat, don't let all the water from the meat be soaked in water."

After saying that, Gao Yang took her cut meat and put it in the basket before heading over to Great Auntie Li's house.

"Aunt, are you home?" Gao Yang entered the house familiarly.

When Gao Yang entered the room, he saw Master Li sleeping on the brick bed. Auntie Li was making shoes on the brick bed. When she saw Gao Yang, she immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Why are you here right now? What's the matter?"

"Aunt, I still have a lot of meat left in my house. I want to give you guys some since you guys are always taking care of me. Besides, even me and Zhan Fei can't eat all of it." As he spoke, Gao Yang took out the meat from the basket.

Auntie Li looked at the meat Gao Yang took out, which weighed two to three catties, and said with a slightly angry expression on her face, "Little girl, is Auntie helping you out for your things?"

Seeing the expression on Auntie Li's face, Gao Yang knew that Auntie Li was angry. Gao Yang immediately tugged on Auntie Li's sleeve in a spoiled manner, trying to curry favor with her!

"Aunt, what are you thinking about? Aren't there too much meat for me and Zhan Fei to finish? Aren't I here to honor you, old man? Besides, my two younger brothers are greedy! Besides, I'm more familiar with you guys. I still remember that when my parents died, my aunt helped me out with the food, so shouldn't I show you my filial piety? Besides, it was my grandpa who took the time to chop quite a lot of my firewood at that time! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to hold on at this time. "

Auntie Li looked at the little girl's appearance and added with her words, she didn't say any more words of rejection.

Actually, she also wanted to let her children eat more meat, but right now, she didn't have the conditions to let them eat meat. How could she not feel sorry for the meat that had fallen from her body?

She decided that she must take care of this little girl in the future. Actually, she also knew that this child might not be able to stay here with them in the future.

After all, this child belonged to a big city. Just like those other young men, they weren't used to staying in the countryside. They all wanted to rely on their relationship to return to the city, but they didn't know how long this girl would be able to stay in the countryside.

Gao Yang chatted with Auntie Li for a while longer. Who had a dog that was acting like a puppy? Who had quarreled with who? The two women were chatting quite happily. Gao Yang recalled that she hadn't watered the vegetables today.

"Auntie, I haven't watered my vegetable seedlings this afternoon. My vegetable seedlings have already sprouted a few days ago, so I have to go back and water those boxes of vegetable seedlings."

"That vegetable seedling of yours really came out, how could it still grow in the house?" Auntie Li asked in a curious tone.
