Chapter 141 Sending Meat to School After unloading two bags of pig bones, Luo Dapeng and his friends came to school again. Today is Friday, so of course we have to go to school. The children are studying in the classroom with full concentration. It is very comfortable to study now. You don’t have to worry about other things. You have food and clothes, and your family will not force you to do farm work. How great! The school playground is now much larger. It was expanded at the suggestion of Zhou Yimin, and some surrounding wasteland was incorporated into the school. In the future, we will add more sports facilities to the playground, such as ping-pong tables. In addition, there will be a place for any activities in the village in the future, such as showing movies this time and holding villager meetings in the future. It is for this reason that the old branch secretary and the team leader support making the school better. That is, their village is small, while some larger villages even have meeting halls. Zhou Zhigao, who was teaching, looked outside and knew that it must be Yimin who came to deliver something to the school again, so he quickly wrote two questions on the blackboard and asked everyone to do them first. Then he walked out of the classroom and walked towards Zhou Dazhong and the others. The school kitchen has been built and we started cooking yesterday. Zhou Zhigao's wife is in charge of the kitchen. Of course, she is the only one in charge. She basically does all the cleaning, washing vegetables, cooking, etc. by herself.

Zhou Zhigao and his daughter will also help when they are free. "Dazhong, Dapeng, this is..." Zhou Zhigao knew Luo Dapeng. Zhou Dazhong introduced: "He is Li Youde, one of Uncle Sixteen's good brothers in the city, one of us. Uncle Zhigao, take out the knife and cut the half pork in half. Uncle Sixteen ordered me to do that. He also said that the school should prepare more meals today and let all children under 15 years old in the village come to the school for meals. Zhou Zhigao shook hands with Li Youde first, then nodded: "Okay, I'll let your aunt cook. But you have to notify the children who are not students in the school. It's best to let the villagers do it." The school was really understaffed, and the father and daughter had to teach, and his wife had to cook and so on. Luo Dapeng lifted the covering on the piece of pork. Zhou Zhigao was surprised when he saw it. A pork loin that big, half of it is given to the school? That would weigh about 50 to 60 kilograms, right? There is a lot of fat, which can be made into lard. The lard residue is fragrant and crispy, who doesn’t like it? The remaining meat can be eaten for a while, but it cannot be eaten up in one or two meals. Zhou Zhigao has already thought of several plans. "Okay, I'll have someone notify them later." As soon as Zhou Dazhong finished speaking, Zhou Zhigao's wife came out with a knife. Luo Dapeng took the knife, chopped it in the middle, and according to Zhou Yimin's instructions, gave the hind leg part to the school. "Holding back the school?" Zhou Zhigao was surprised again. You know, the hind legs have more meat and are thicker. No matter who chooses, they will definitely choose the hind legs instead of the front legs! He thought that these two or three guys had made a mistake. Li Youde smiled and said, "Yimin ordered this, saying that the meat from the front legs is more tender." However, in Zhou Zhigao's view, this statement was simply Zhou Yimin taking care of the school.

The front leg meat is a little more tender, which is really good. Because the pig's front legs engage in more exercise, the meat is relatively more delicate and tastes more tender than the hind legs. But who cares about the subtle difference in taste now? You must choose the part with more meat and thicker meat. "Okay! Let's stop chatting. We have things to do." Zhou Dazhong picked up the pig's hind leg and went to the school kitchen to put down the pork. "Okay, then you guys go ahead and get busy." After Zhou Dazhong and the others were gone, Zhou Zhigao said to his wife, "Cut half of it out to dry as bacon! We can use it to give the students some extra meat in the future." Today, his family can actually have a big meal. He, his wife, and their children can all eat at school, while his parents can go to the birthday party and eat better than at school. "Yeah! Okay, I thought so too." The couple thought alike. With so much meat, how can you bear to eat it all in one or two meals? The two began to discuss how to have lunch. As a teacher, he actually knew how many children there were in the village. Zhou Dazhong and his friends drove their tricycles and bicycles to the door of Grandpa Zhou Yimin's house. The rural road just passed by the door. As soon as their cars stopped, villagers gathered around. When they saw the meat they brought back, the old secretary and others' eyelids twitched a few times, and some were even dumbfounded. Half a pork leg, several large pieces of beef, which looked to be about fifty or sixty kilograms, a large bucket of rare prawns, and three large buckets of fish. Aren't we only inviting the elderly in the village? At most, we can add a table of people from the city. There's no need for so many ingredients! And it's all meat. Not to mention pork, beef and fish. Are these prawns available in the capital? You can tell at a glance that they are not local. As rural people, they are well aware of how precious such fresh food is. "Help us move it down. What are you standing there for? The chef hired by Uncle Sixteen is on the way and will be here soon." Zhou Dazhong said. On the way, they met Master Quan and his group. They had taken the earliest bus to Red Star Commune and then walked here. Everyone then hurriedly carried the ingredients out of the car and piled them together. "Where is your sixteenth uncle?" asked the old branch secretary. Zhou Dazhong: "Uncle Sixteen will be back later, and he said he would like you, the old Party Secretary, to take charge of this matter first." Then he introduced Li Youde to everyone. Li Youde was not shy either. He took out Daqianmen cigarettes and distributed them to everyone. He gave them to any man who could smoke. After this distribution, two packs of cigarettes were gone. "Secretary, find a few people who can kill fish and process the fish first. This will also reduce the workload of the chefs." Li Youde chatted with the old secretary. The old Party Secretary nodded: "Yes! That's right! We can't wait for the chef to finish his work. Xuqiang, you guys come and kill the fish, but don't break the fish gallbladder." Not only that, he also instructed the women on the scene to wash the mushrooms and other things quickly.

Luo Dapeng took Li Youde into the house to meet Zhou Yimin's grandparents. Like Luo Dapeng, Li Youde also called them grandpa and grandma, and said a few appropriate words to the old lady, which made her very happy. They also knew that the two people in front of them were their grandson's best friends in the city. They loved Luo Dapeng and Li Youde and were particularly close to them. "Yimin should have gone to pick up his girlfriend. He will definitely be back before lunch." Li Youde guessed to the old lady. "Okay, okay!" The old lady was looking forward to seeing her future granddaughter-in-law. Soon, Master Quan and his group arrived. Because Zhou Dazhong had greeted them, Master Quan and his companions were able to enter Zhoujiazhuang very smoothly even though it was their first time there. There was someone standing at the entrance of the village to lead the way. The previous chapter had a wrong concept of a piece of pork. A piece of pork is one half of a pig split in half. This has been corrected.   (End of this chapter)
