Chapter 1329 New Year's Flavor
"Well, there are many relatives in Asahi's house. I have to go to several relatives in one day until the sixth day of the new year. I need a car for my own use." The general's mother pulled her son from the side. After all, he was still an in-law. People see jokes.
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, don't scare Zhang Jing, she's pregnant." The general's mother-in-law came out and glared at her son as if to blame, but she was obviously talking about the general.
"I see there are a lot of cars in your village. If he leaves, why don't you just find someone to take him there? Either he has to use his car as a wedding car, or it's not easy for Zhang Dong to get married, so he drives this car."
Seeing that both parties were quiet, Zhang Dong's mother couldn't help but speak again. In fact, not only Zhang Dong, she also wanted to use Yang Dongxu's Daben as a wedding car. A luxury car costing millions. Even the county magistrate’s son probably wouldn’t have such a good car when he got married.
"The base price of that car is five million, and the price is more than six million. A little bit of damage, and a touch-up of paint will cost tens or hundreds of thousands. A marriage is such a mess, and if something unexpected happens, you are prepared to take your bride price Repairing the car?" The general's face started to turn red, but he tried to suppress his temper and spoke.
The general's mother-in-law's expression changed when she heard this, although she was not happy that her son-in-law said that her son had a small accident when he got married. But it was really painful for her to pay tens or hundreds of thousands just to touch up the paint.
After all, compared to her son Zhang Dong, who was well-raised, she knew that it was not easy to have daily necessities.
"Be careful, how could there be an accident? After all, the car is not insured in the event of an accident? You have such a good relationship, how can he let you repair the car?" Seeing that his mother seemed to be shaken, Zhang Dong was instantly unwilling.
He used the only million-dollar Mercedes-Benz as a wedding car in the entire county, and he boasted about it. Not only with his soon-to-be wife, but also with his father-in-law’s family. When he was drinking every now and then, he would often brag to his friends. What if he hadn't driven this car over when the time came?
"Get out!" The person who shouted this word was not the general, but Zhang Jing, who was also angry and blushing from the room.
"What are you talking about? He is your brother, you little heartless boy." Hearing her daughter shouting for her precious son to get lost, the general's mother-in-law immediately became unwilling. Subconsciously, he showed off the way he used to teach his daughter when he was at home.
But in the middle of his words, he saw the general standing next to him with burning eyes staring at him, and he couldn't say the following words.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, why are we arguing again?" The general's father-in-law quickly came out to smooth things over.
What my son said was indeed a bit excessive, but just borrowing a car was a bit too stingy if he didn't even accept the offer from the wealthy Yang family.
Of course, he couldn't say this out loud, although he felt uncomfortable not being able to use a luxury car to pick up the bride and let his family lose face. But compared to his spoiled son, he had some intelligence and knew not to add fuel to the fire at this time.
There were many people on the street looking at the excitement, which made the general and his family feel a little hot on their faces.
"What's going on? The general has prepared the money for you. Zhang Jing, go to my house and ask your sister-in-law to get it." Daliang came over at this time and pulled the general aside. Due to the atmosphere, he was afraid that the general would beat his brother-in-law.
As soon as Daliang said these words, the faces of the general, father-in-law and his family of three instantly became hot. The son-in-law borrowed the bride price for his son's wedding photos, and he was the son-in-law who had made a big fuss before and even said he would hang himself and not let his daughter marry him. This happened
Zhang Jing's parents looked at their daughter at the same time. Can they talk about this matter casually?
"General, you have been with me for more than half a year and have not made any money. You have to buy a house in the city. We spend so much money at the end of the year, and the family really has no money." Zhang Jing said it directly without fear of embarrassment.
The general's family indeed has no money, but of course the lack of money does not affect his life very much. After all, the general's parents still make this money, and the transportation company that Xiaowu runs also has a share of the general, and he also invested a sum of money in it.
This, coupled with the purchase of a house in the county and the general's car, has indeed emptied the family's wealth over the years. So they always have people coming to borrow money, and they can only borrow money from people in the same village.
"What are you talking about? Isn't it just for you to buy a house in the county? It will be convenient for your children to go to school in the county. Why do you say I have to buy it?" Zhang Jing's mother was not happy.
The general was too lazy to say anything, it was indeed their house. But now they have just lived in their renovated new house for a few days, and now it has become Zhang Dong's wedding room.
It was said that he would live there for a while and move out after Zhang Dong got a job and bought a house. But now anyone with a discerning eye could see that this would definitely be a fight in the future.
However, Zhang Jing was decisive. No matter what her parents said when buying a house, the general also persuaded her. He didn't even add his name to the house book. There was only the general's name in the house book.
And if the relationship hadn't been so tense at that time, she and the general thought that if they bought a house in the county and the general would find a job in the county, their parents would not stop them from getting married. Otherwise, she would not even buy this house at that time. .
At the end of the year, the streets become more and more lively. Everyone has a festive look on their face, and large and small cars carry New Year's goods to their homes. I know I won’t be able to finish all these things, and I will have to eat leftovers for a long time after the New Year. Even a lot of the meat has been smoked and can only be marinated.
But it still can't stop people from buying New Year's goods at the end of the year. This is actually the sequelae of being afraid of poverty in the past. During the New Year, people always can't help but spend their money on New Year's goods. Because in the past, they could only eat meat during the New Year.
Seeing his son who had a ball and a basketball but had to follow a group of children to kick the pig's bladder, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but feel itchy again.
"Dongxu, say hello to your father when you go back at noon, and prepare three more pigs for me tomorrow." The pork vendor on the street saw Yang Dongxu and said.
Usually, the pigs raised by the Yang family are sent to the supermarket from the slaughterhouse. These pork vendors on the street go to the countryside to collect pigs and kill them.
But at the end of the year, many families feel that they are richer this year, so they will kill the pigs they raised, buy some, and keep some for themselves.
There are also families who made wishes last year, such as asking gods to bless them to make money and get rich next year, or to have their son marry a wife next year and give themselves a grandson. They will also kill the New Year pig at the end of the year.
This has reduced the supply of pigs for vendors, so at the end of the year, the meat vendors on the street will come back from Yang's pig farm to make up for some of the shortfall.
"I know, I'll tell you when I go back at noon, but I can't guarantee whether there are pigs, unless you have ordered with my dad before and he will keep them for you. Otherwise, I guess there won't be enough. The slaughterhouse in the city just took away a truck of pigs yesterday, and the whole pig farm is empty." Yang Dongxu said.
Country people celebrate the New Year, and city people naturally celebrate the New Year too. Although city people now have the awareness of selling as much as they eat during the New Year.
However, the current shops and supermarkets are not like the future, which will not close during the New Year. Most shops will not open until the fifth day of the New Year. They also need to store enough food for relatives and friends to come from New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the New Year, right?
"It was agreed before, but it was two pigs. I told you three pigs, try to see if you can spare one more pig. If it doesn't work, you can only use two pigs.
By the way, I'll keep today's pig's trotters and pig's legs for your brother-in-law. When will he come to get them?" Brother-in-law usually uses pork in the small town, which is directly slaughtered from the pig farm at home.
But there are only four pig's trotters and pig's legs for a pig. The reservoir is not far from the county town, and there are many people who go fishing or eating there. Pig's trotters feel too many bones in the countryside and are too expensive, but they sell well in the farmhouse.
So the small town often pre-orders pig's trotters and pig's legs from several meat vendors in the nearby markets, and sometimes they can even get a few more big pig heads.
"It should be coming soon. His business is the best at night recently, and these things must be done by noon." Yang Dongxu said.
Ingredients such as pig's trotters and pig's legs are better when they are braised overnight. So in the small town, they are basically braised the day before and sold the next day. It's too busy at night, so these things must be prepared before night.
"Your brother-in-law's braised meat is really delicious, better than the braised dishes on our street. Many people go to his place and buy braised dishes without eating." The butcher said with some emotion.
This person! You have to believe in fate. Didn't you see that the Yang family is doing well in every family? His brother-in-law opened a farmhouse. He was obviously not a cook before, but now his braised dishes taste better than those old-fashioned braised dishes.
"Then you have to book a table if you want to eat now. It's not sold separately at the end of the year. After all, there are many guests at the end of the year. It's too unrefined if there are no dishes when guests order dishes." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Everyone's business is good at the end of the year, so the farmhouse will not sell braised dishes separately. Even on normal days of April and May, it is basically sold in fixed quantities, and it doesn't compete with the braised dishes on the street.
Most of them are old customers. After eating, they take some back, or ask in advance to pack them up and eat at home. There are not many real single sales.
As for why the braised dishes in Xiaocheng, who was not a cook, suddenly became so good. Of course, it was because he had studied in the kitchen of Yangjiayan, and then added some unique recipes, the taste couldn't be bad.
When the two people said this, Xiaocheng had already arrived. He first handed people cigarettes and said a few words to the vendors. Yang Dongxu wanted to lend a hand, but he didn't let him. He carried the basket of pork legs and pig trotters and walked home by himself. There was also a big pig head in the basket.
"If you are tired, turn down the reservations. Don't be busy until midnight and exhaust yourself." Yang Dongxu smoked and walked home with Xiaocheng.
Xiao Wenchen just stayed on the street and hung out with the group of little brats. After such a long time back, Xiao Wenchen was considered to be completely familiar with many people in his own territory. At this time, the children who were lost were basically stolen in the middle of the night, and were abducted and sold in big cities or remote areas.
Any stranger who came to the countryside in the middle of the day would be stared at for a long time. In the village, including those who came to the market from ten miles away, there were very few people who didn't know Xiao Wenchen. With so many eyes, the child couldn't be lost.
