Chapter 394: 119: The results are out, a slap in the face ca so fast_4
Li Wei relayed to Zhou Xuei that Ni Yang was a self-employed individual.
An air of sarcasm hung around Zhou Xuei’s eyes. “So that’s what Ni Yang is all about! Strutting around so arrogantly! Just a re self-employed individual!”
Both her parents were formal workers and they had even bought a house in the city, so Zhou Xuei naturally looked down on Ni Yang.
Furthermore, Ni Yang was an outsider.
“Brother Awei, let tell you sothing really interesting.” Zhou Xuei relayed the story of her bet with Ni Yang to Li Wei with a laugh.
Hearing this, Li Wei felt a surge of superiority in his heart.
In the afternoon, he was still taking four exams.
By the ti the examinations ended, it was already past 6 in the evening.
Ni Yang then made a trip to the Vegetable Market on his bicycle.
They were about to start raising the beams soon, so Ni Yang had to prepare everything needed for the beam-raising in advance.
Beam-raising was a major event, not only did he need to prepare food and wine to treat the guests, but also buy firecrackers, fireworks, and snacks.
Ni Yang bought more than fifty pounds of fruit candies and milk candies, eighteen pounds of pastries, dates, and peanuts.
Then Ni Yang went to buy twenty packs of cigarettes, firecrackers, and fireworks, finally, Ni Yang bought vegetables and at.
Ni Yang only bought enough pork for eating that day because if he bought more, it could easily spoil due to the weather.
After buying all the necessary things, Ni Yang rode back on his bicycle.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ni Yang heard so snorting sounds.
A glance at the side revealed that under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, a big fat pig was tied up!
The little rabbits seed to be seeing a big fat pig for the first ti, running around the pig curiously.
“Mom, where did this big pig co from?” Ni Yang asked Ni Cuihua.
Ni Cuihua replied, “Your mom bought it.”
Ni Yang was taken aback, “What did you buy this for? To raise it ourselves?”
Ni Cuihua laughed, “How could we raise it ourselves? Our house is going to have the beam-raising the day after tomorrow, right? I deliberately bought a big fat pig back so that we could have a good feast for our fellow villagers!”
If not for the villagers from Jinghua Village, how could their family have easily gotten the hostead?
Ni Cuihua was not an ungrateful person, she and Ni Yang had always kept this in mind!
Ni Yang nodded, “Mom, your considerations are indeed comprehensive.”
Purchasing a big fat pig, along with the pig innards, would not only enable everyone to eat well but also look good when word spread out.
Indeed, they had taken care of both behind-the-scenes and up-front efforts!
Ni Yang asked further, “Mom, where did you buy this pig?”
Ni Cuihua replied, “From the next village. Apparently, that family is really having a hard ti. They only have a daughter who was cheated and is now pregnant, they don’t even have the money to get an abortion!”
Otherwise, they would not be selling the pig at this ti.
One must know, at this ti, keeping a pig in rural areas is of great importance!
Because farrs depend entirely on pig manure and chicken droppings for fertilizers.
The annual crop yield depends entirely on how efficient the big fat pig is at excreting.
After all, how much chicken droppings can there be?
Furthermore, pigs are not picky eaters, just cut so pig grass and feed it to them, and they can have pork during the New Year!
A case of killing two birds with one stone.
Ni Yang frowned slightly, “Didn’t they call the police?”
“What use is it if the man denies it after they call the police? I heard that there’s now sothing that can determine parentage, but the child has to be born first. Which innocent maiden would willingly take this kind of risk?”
No one would risk their future, so they could only suffer in silence, choosing to abort the child.
Ni Yang sighed.
Ni Cuihua continued, “Now so people are really too cruel! They knew the family was in a hurry to sell their big fat pig, and they managed to haggle the price down to 50 yuan from 210 yuan!”
“Mom, you didn’t haggle, did you?” Ni Yang asked.
Ni Cuihua replied, “We’ve all been through hard tis, of course I didn’t haggle! We should pay what we should, we can’t take advantage of people in their ti of need!” Ni Cuihua not only did not haggle, but she even gave an extra fifty yuan!
Ni Yang nodded, “Mom, you’re right.”
Ti flew and soon it was the next day.
Since the beam-raising was taking place the next day, Ni Yang began preparing the als for the beam-raising day.
Ni Cuihua found a butcher to slaughter the big fat pig that afternoon.
Ni Yang was in the kitchen making pickled pepper chicken feet.
Pickled pepper chicken feet are a delicacy in Sichuan and Chongqing, which hadn’t spread to Beijing yet, so people mostly ate chicken feet braised or boiled.
First, he cut the chicken feet in half, then boiled them to remove the sll, after that, he added spring onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns with liquor and boiled them in water for ten minutes.
