Chapter 140 Pig Bones Friday came quickly, and Zhou Yimin asked Zhou Dazhong to help him bring some things back to Zhoujiazhuang, including a piece of pork, 60 kilograms of beef, three buckets of fish, 100 kilograms of prawns, and two large bags of pork bones. That big fat pig was huge, weighing no less than 100 kilograms. Zhou Dazhong helped to lift it and found out that it weighed about 120 kilograms. "Dapeng, you can help pull some too. Take two bags of pork bones directly to the village canteen and give the villagers some soup. Cut half of this pork and give it to the school, so that they can cook more food today. Children under 15 years old can have one or two bowls. "Zhou Yimin ordered. "Okay!" Luo Dapeng nodded, went out and rented a tricycle. "What about me?" Li Youde asked. Zhou Yimin didn't hesitate and directly ordered: "Go borrow a bicycle and help pull a generator to Zhoujiazhuang. Let's watch a movie tonight. I'll contact the projectionist." Everyone was amazed, this 60th birthday is not an ordinary one!

It cost a lot of money. You are worthy of being Zhou Yimin. "Okay!" Li Youde immediately went to borrow a bicycle. After Li Youde borrowed a bicycle, Zhou Yimin took him to Lu Guofu's house. Lu Guofu brought out a small diesel generator and tied it to the frame. "Youde, drive slower, don't break it." Zhou Yimin reminded. Lu Guofu smiled and said, "It's okay. This thing is not that easy to break." He didn't know how many times it had dropped it. Compared to his projection equipment, the generator was the most resistant to drops. "Uncle Lu, you should also leave early. We will have banquets at noon and in the evening." Zhou Yimin said to Lu Guofu. Lu Guofu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go in the afternoon! I'll have dinner there, and I have other things to do at noon." "Okay then. I'll be waiting for Uncle Lu to come." Zhou Yimin didn't force him. Anyway, movies are shown at night. As for Master Quan, he had already set off with two helpers. At this time, in Zhoujiazhuang, at Zhou Yimin's grandfather's house, a stove and a simple shed had been set up next to the door, and Zhou Xuqiang was leading people to work. The women helped with the washing, and the dishes and chopsticks had to be borrowed from everyone's homes. This is how everyone holds a banquet these days. Even the tables and chairs are gathered together. Who's family always has these things? The old branch secretary was also there, directing everyone's work. "Wash yourself clean! Yimin's friends from the city will also come, don't embarrass Yimin." said the old branch secretary. You can do whatever you want in your own village, but when outsiders come, you have to pay attention to the customs and image. Especially since he heard that the visitors were Yimin's girlfriend's family, he should be even more careful and not let Yimin embarrass himself in front of his girlfriend's family.

"Secretary, don't worry! Even a dog licking it won't be this clean." The old branch secretary was speechless. What kind of metaphor is this? "Secretary, I heard that we can watch a movie tonight. Is that true?" someone asked. Everyone present looked over, they also wanted to confirm the news. If the news is true, it will be the first time that movies are shown in Zhoujiazhuang. It will be exciting to watch movies without having to walk so far! The old branch secretary no longer concealed it. "That's right! Yimin said so. I have found a place. It is in the playground of our Zhoujiazhuang school. Tonight, don't go to the front to take up seats. Yimin has arranged the first few rows. He said they are reserved for children, the elderly and others in the village." Once this was said, naturally no one had any objection. I am very lucky to be able to watch a movie, so why would I compete with Zhou Yimin for a seat? Besides, people reserved the front rows not only for their own families, but also for the children and the elderly in the whole village, including theirs. What objection could they have? "Anyway, I'll have someone draw the lines this afternoon, and you guys shouldn't occupy the areas where the lines are drawn." Not only do they draw lines, they also arrange stools and chairs, especially for the elderly, preferably those with backrests. After all, it takes a bit of time to watch two movies. "Secretary, don't worry! I will beat to death anyone who dares to occupy the seat without permission." A strong man raised his fist. The old Party Secretary glanced at him and said, "I'm just afraid that you will take up the spot." Last time when we watched a movie in Red Star Commune, you almost got into a fight with people from another village. Inside the house, a bunch of elderly people gathered around Zhou Yimin’s grandparents and talked. They were very envious. They felt that they could live a few years less if they had a grandson like Zhou Yimin. The voice was not loud because the radio next to him was still playing! Zhou Yimin would change the batteries for the radio every few days, so the two old people never thought about the radio's power consumption. It was almost on from day to night, and only turned off when sleeping. Because of the addition, the house now looks very large, with several rooms, and the interior has been painted. You can't tell much from the outside, but from the inside, this is indeed the most luxurious house in Zhoujiazhuang. It was only in Zhoujiazhuang that Zhou Yimin dared to do this. Not long after, Luo Dapeng, Zhou Dazhong and Li Youde entered Zhoujiazhuang together. "Let's go to the village canteen first!" Zhou Dazhong said. "It's up to you, I don't care." Luo Dapeng didn't care. After unloading the goods, he will go to see his "little brothers". It was Li Youde’s first time to come to Zhoujiazhuang. He was a little curious and looked around. Luo Dapeng pointed to a house in the distance and said to Li Youde, "That's the home of Yimin's grandparents." They arrived at the entrance of the village cafeteria, and Zhou Dazhong shouted, "Send out some living people." The people in the cafeteria really wanted to kick Zhou Dazhong. What does "a few living people come out" mean? Is there a dead person in their cafeteria? Can you talk properly? "Don't waste time. Do you still want these two bags of pork bones? If not, I'll take them away." Zhou Dazhong said again.

When everyone heard this, they immediately quickened their pace and forced a smile: "Hey! Did Uncle Sixteen give it to you?" Today is Grandma Zhou Yimin’s 60th birthday. This is no secret in the village. The news was released three or four days ago, saying that a grand celebration would be held and all the villagers over 60 years old would be invited to dinner. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yimin also prepared food for them. Even though they were just pig bones, they could still be used to make soup! They were very satisfied to be able to drink a bowl of bone soup on this day. "Nonsense! Who else can give you pig bones?" Well! When they opened the sack, they saw that there was still a lot of meat on the pig bones. Who shaved the bones? It was very unprofessional. A professional pork seller can shave the bones so hard that even flies will slip when they stand on them, and even dogs will cry when they see it. If we shave off the meat from the bones, we'd probably weigh about 10 to 15 kilograms. The soup made from bones like this must taste delicious. They hurriedly carried two sacks of bones in, prepared to wash them, and put them in to make soup. As for blanching, there is no such thing. It would be a pity to blanch the food and kill all the flavor! (End of this chapter)
