Chapter 661 Eating Eight Big Bowls During the Reunion Year
Chapter 661 Eight big bowls of food during the reunion
The pigs of the Shilipu production team are very big, starting from 1,000 kilograms.
Not only that, the sheep of the Shilipu production team are also very big. If you pull out any sheep, it will weigh over 500 kilograms!
It was originally a casual joke by Ai Liujing, but it immediately became a source of conversation among countless production team members from all over the country.
"Dad, do the pigs in the Shilipu production team really weigh 1,000 kilograms?"
Some simple children, after hearing the adults' discussion, couldn't help but curiously asked: "Then why are the pigs in our production team killed when they only weigh more than 100 kilograms?"
The adult replied without thinking: "Listen to their boast!
I heard that the breeding farm in the provincial capital has large breeding pigs imported from foreigners. The big boar is only 5,600 kilograms in weight."
The man's mother-in-law heard this and was so frightened that she quickly dropped the paper-cut in her hand.
She immediately threw herself in front of the man and covered her man's mouth: "My father! Don't dare to talk nonsense. If someone says he weighs 1,000 kilograms, just treat him as if he weighs 1,000 kilograms."
This aunt, she has experienced that period.
Her face was full of nervousness, and she whispered to her men and children: "If you go out in the future, you will hear them talking about the fat pigs in the Shilipu production team.
You guys just go along and say it. Well, it’s fine as long as it’s really big! I don’t dare to say that someone’s 1,000-jin pig is just a boast.”
The man also reacted and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this!
Mao Dan, if you hear someone say in the future that the corn cobs produced by the Shilipu production team are as big as water tanks, you are not allowed to argue with others, do you hear me?"
The child was puzzled, "Why is this, Dad?"
The man knocked over with a bang: "There is no reason! Just listen to what others say, and never express your opinion whether you believe it or not!"
The little boy was hit on the head for no apparent reason. He grinned in pain and scratched his head: "Obviously, there are not even 1,000 pigs in the Shilipu production team."
"Snapped--"
The child's mother slapped him in the face and said, "It's what it is! There are no more fat pigs weighing 1,000 kilograms, and there are still fat pigs weighing 3,000 kilograms!"
This little boy was inexplicably beaten by a mixed doubles team today.
In the end, the little boy wanted to cry but didn't dare.
He had to cover his head with one hand and cover his face with the other, standing there full of grievances.
The snot and tears are crystal clear and really beautiful.
The Shilipu production team celebrated the Chinese New Year this year and distributed a lot of pork and mutton to the members.
In the end, we got over it with the words "Our pigs are big."
But next,
After hearing the news that the members of the Shilipu Production Team in Shilipu Township will celebrate the New Year "collectively" this year,
Everyone suddenly became restless.
In Saibei dialect: It’s so hot!
After hearing this news, the members of other production teams were really angry!!
When it comes to collective labor, some people can fish in troubled waters.
This makes everyone dislike it very much.
When it comes to collective learning, not only do we talk about things that none of the members can understand, but it also wastes everyone's time.
The members don't like this kind of collective activity very much.
But when it comes to celebrating the New Year collectively, on New Year's Eve, everyone goes to eat in the collective stove. I'm afraid no one will object to this kind of good thing.
——All the members gathered together to celebrate the New Year, which was very lively.
What's more important is that you can eat the meals of the production team for free!
What’s more important is that you don’t have to give gifts!
You can't find this kind of good thing even with a lantern, so who wouldn't like it?
When everyone heard that the Shilipu production team would celebrate the New Year together this year.
These members went to their own production team cadres one after another to discuss whether they could join the production team this year and learn from the Shilipu production team.
Organize everyone together and have a collective New Year?
When the members were ruthlessly rejected by the production team cadres on the grounds that "there was no money in the collective account".
Those commune members from all over the country could only express their dissatisfaction.
I vented my anger on the Shilipu production team:
"Sexy! The Shilipu production team has a little money in their collective account. The cadres of their production team are almost excited!"
"Shaobao! Aren't you afraid that the big guys will overwhelm their production team?"
"How do you live your life by eating from the sea and drinking from the lake? In my opinion, the cadres of the Shilipu production team are just asking for help!"
"That's right! When we used to eat in the big cafeteria, didn't everyone eat together every day?
Didn't they break up in the end?
I would like to see how long their Shilipu production team can last?"
Members of other people's production teams are envious and jealous of the trenchant style of the Shilipu production team!
But there are also some members,
He was only envious of it, but not jealous.
Hearing the unpleasant words spoken by his companions, some people on the spot could no longer listen: "Hey, why are you talking so unpleasantly? How long do you care how long they can last?
I only know that in the Shilipu production team, during the Chinese New Year this year, all the members will be able to eat nine large bowls! Tsk, tsk, tsk, eight big bowls! I think back then, even the wealthy families might not be able to afford such a banquet."
There are also members,
His face was full of envy: "I have only heard of the Eight Big Bowls in my life, but I have never seen them before. Moreover, people still eat in restaurants! I have lived for more than 30 years and I have never gone out to eat in a restaurant."
Other production teams, whether out of jealousy or envy.
They all spit out acid at the Shilipu production team.
But this did not affect Dou Jiande, who led all the members of the production team to gather in the hotel for a reunion.
"Comrades!"
"Everyone has worked hard this year! On this last day of 66 years, on this beautiful day of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and celebrating together."
Dou Jiande followed the script and read the speech that Accountant Li handed him, "To reward all the members for their hard work.
So our production team decided to let everyone have a happy, peaceful and greasy New Year in our own hotel!"
After reading this,
Dou Jiande was stunned for a moment: the words in the previous manuscript were all very familiar.
It's the same as speaking with the cadres in the commune.
But why does this last sentence sound so awkward?
What is a "greasy" year??
Dou Jiande was puzzled by this, but the members in the audience burst into laughter!
"Hahaha, we can eat eight big bowls, including crispy chicken, meatballs, and fat slivers of meat. It's sizzling, isn't it full of greasy food?"
"Oh, this is the year. Look at the dishes on the table. They are so sizzling and greasy. I love them so much!"
"All my life, I have only heard from the elders that the best banquet here is to eat eight big bowls. But in my life, I have never seen what a real eight big bowls are!"
Since entering the new era, the higher authorities have advocated simplicity in weddings and funerals.
And because we have just entered a new era, we need to support Cao County next door.
Later, everyone was allocated land, which greatly released social productivity.
At that time, there were some families with a lot of strength and labor in their families, and they planned their lives well.
They actually have the strength to hold eight bowl banquets.
But it's a pity that at that time, everyone's wealth was not very rich, and the higher authorities were advocating thrift.
So no one dares to make it so luxurious.
And later,
"Primary agricultural cooperatives" began to be implemented in rural areas. By this time, people no longer had the conditions to buy luxurious banquets.
So generally speaking,
As long as they are under 30 years old, they have never seen the "eight bowls" that everyone talks about.
Not to mention, I am lucky enough to eat there once.
In the spacious lobby of the hotel, a steaming banquet has been prepared: two large bowls of braised fatty pork.
This dish is somewhat similar to southern braised pork.
There is a bowl of braised pork, braised pork ribs, braised mutton, braised pork ribs, braised meatballs, and crispy chicken.
Eight large bowls of fragrant hard vegetables have just been placed on the table.
The whole hotel suddenly resounded with the sound of hissing and salivating.
Old Li Tou swallowed his saliva and asked Li Jianping next to him: "Second brother, how many days have you been saving your stomach?"
Li Jianping weakly stretched out three fingers and made a gesture.
Lao Li exclaimed: "3 days? Da da da, no wonder you are so hungry that you don't have the strength to walk."
"It seems that you are no better than me."
Li Jianping was so hungry that he almost had hypoglycemia.
Not only were his limbs weak from hunger, but his eyes were also a little blurry, "If I guess correctly, Lao Litou, you won't be able to save your stomach in less time than me."
Lao Li chuckled: "Well, I haven't saved for a few days. Hehe, it's only 4 days."
Before people in Saibei go to a banquet, they have a habit: to save their stomachs.
That is to say, everyone doesn't eat very much at home before having dinner. Especially Lao Litou, he is very hungry!
For several days in a row, Lao Litou could only drink some water, or occasionally nibble on a steamed bun with mixed noodles to fill his stomach.
With just such a small amount of food, he could carry it for several days.
After Dou Jiande finished speaking, everyone was asked to sit down.
Then he gave the order, "Let's have a dinner!"
in the lobby,
The crowd suddenly descended from the mountain like a tiger, or like a dragon coming out of the sea. Everyone turned into hungry wolves, and everyone became a glutton.
The chopsticks and spoons flew up and down, and the steamed buns and rice fell into the stomach at the same time.
Fortunately, Saibei pays great attention to etiquette. Everyone can gobble it up, but no one is fighting for it on the table.
Fortunately, there are no guys who come over with clay pots, pour the vegetables into their own jars, and pack them away.
The members of the production team gathered their friends and formed tables to have dinner.
Luo Xuan, Zhang Xiaoli, Peng Yong, two chefs from Bashu, and two local chefs.
Including Wang Chunhua, Dou Jiande, and Accountant Li, there are 10 people in total, and they sit at another table.
The dishes on this table are different from the dishes served by the members.
Because the two chefs are from Bashu, they are not used to the local eight bowls.
Therefore, these two chefs made nine large bowls according to the custom of Bashu during the New Year!
Compared to the eight bowls that other people have, there is one more bowl: soft-fried steamed pork, steamed pork ribs, and steamed beef with flour.
There are also sweet and salty braised bean curds.
The members of the production team ate eight large bowls, while the cadres of the production team ate nine large bowls.
Originally, everyone was very averse to specialization. However, the members of the Shilipu production team had no complaints about Luo Xuan and the others:
That banquet table,
Luo Xuan paid for it himself. And when he paid for it, he did it in the hotel, in front of everyone.
Luo Xuan handed the 30 yuan to Accountant Li in public and asked him to put it into the hotel's public account.
And the reason why Luo Xuan did this was because
Firstly, it is so that the two Bashu chefs who are far away from their hometown can have a good New Year in Saibei.
Secondly,
It is also a good idea for the two local chefs to experience the real Bashu banquet dishes, so that they can exchange cooking skills with each other, expand their horizons, and broaden their knowledge.
In fact, setting up such a table alone has a more important purpose:
Because the Shilipu production team's educated youth center has been built. Three brand-new earthen kilns are lined up at the foot of a cliff outside the village.
Therefore, this banquet can also be regarded as a housewarming celebration for Luo Xuan, Zhang Xiaoli, and Peng Yong.
Happy to move to a new house, set a table with food and wine.
No one can say anything.
In the lobby of the hotel, all the club members were enjoying to their heart's content, perhaps the most sumptuous reunion dinner in their lives.
Everyone is eating in full swing.
Suddenly, the cotton curtain at the entrance of the hotel was lifted, and a dark crowd came in: "Master, are you still doing business today?"
Accountant Li and Bai Fugui's mother-in-law quickly stood up and came over, "Let's do it! Our hotel is designed to provide thoughtful services to drivers and friends who come from all over the world.
So our hotel is open all year round, how can we not do business?"
When the dozen or so drivers came in, they saw clearly the banquet in the lobby.
They couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "So you are holding a wedding banquet here? Then can you still take care of making stews and stews for us?"
turn out to be,
In Shilipu Hotel, today is the Chinese New Year, so all the glass windows have been pasted with brand new paper-cuts.
Moreover, all the small colorful flags in the yard were replaced with brand new flags.
At first glance, he looks very happy.
In addition, under the eaves outside the hotel, there are props such as gongs, drums and suona ribbons of the Yangko team.
This made the drivers who wanted to come for dinner mistakenly think that a couple was getting married in the hotel and a wedding banquet was being held.
In this period
There are only a few people who can book a hotel room and entertain hundreds of guests.
Then when the driver looked at the dishes on the table, he felt inferior: I can't afford to serve eight large bowls of such a meal.
The background is certainly not small!
And when Shilipu Hotel received such a big order, how could it still care about a dozen drivers eating?
therefore,
The driver, who was obviously not Han, asked this question.
Bai Fugui's mother-in-law smiled and said: "Why, comrade driver, do you still dislike our eight bowls and can't handle them?"
"ah?"
The leader, a strong man with a beard, was surprised when he heard this: "We can also eat eight large bowls?"
"certainly!"
Accountant Li stepped forward, held the other person's arm, and asked them to sit down.
Bai Fugui's wife was very discerning. She saw four chefs on the table, changing glasses and talking animatedly.
I feel very sorry for these hard-working chefs. Aunt Bai Fugui.
So he spontaneously took on the chores of serving food, steamed buns and rice.
Fortunately, these eight bowls of dishes are all steamed vegetables. Bai Fugui's wife is very agile.
After a while, a table was prepared for the drivers.
"Come on, come on, I represent our Shilipu Hotel and all the employees."
Accountant Li toasted to the drivers: "I wish you peace all year round and smooth traffic every year!"
These Mongolian men were also cheerful. They stood up one after another and drank the wine in one gulp!
After toasting three glasses of wine.
Accountant Li asked casually, "It's New Year's Eve today, why are you still running on the road?"
The driver sighed, "Don't mention it. On our trip to haul coal, we either had a flat tire or a broken axle. This makes it impossible for us to go back even though we are celebrating the New Year."
The two chatted for a while.
Luo Xuan walked over and said casually, "I heard you say that you are the driver of the Xuejiawan state-owned coal mine fleet?
Then have you ever heard of a coal mine called ‘Fujin’?”
"Rich Gold Coal Mine?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and then a look of disdain appeared on his face, "We are the leaders of that coal mine. How could we not have heard of it?"
"Little brother, that coal mine is not authentic. I don't want to mention it."
The man took a sip, "Bah! That's a place to drink blood! When I mention the name 'Fujin Coal Mine', I feel like it's dirtying my ears."
Luo Xuan listened,
My heart twitched for no reason: Chen Xiaobai, Chen Xiaobai!
I guess this time, you might end up in that coal mine.
