"Nie Haichuan, why are you here?" Lu Chengcheng was very surprised.

"I came to spend the New Year with you. I didn't expect you had someone to accompany you." Nie Haichuan has a handsome face, tall height and long legs. He is wearing a black coat. He is very elegant and looks completely different from the homeless man who came over at the beginning.

Lu Chengcheng introduced each other and then said, "Let's go. It's cold outside. Let's talk inside."

There is floor heating installed in the house. Now that it is winter, it is naturally turned on. As soon as you enter the house, you can feel a comfortable warmth.

Third aunt was cooking lunch in the kitchen, and the food was steaming hot.

Lu Chengcheng brought Nie Haichuan to the kitchen: "Third aunt, this is Nie Haichuan, my good brother."

Nie Haichuan greeted: "Third Aunt."

The third aunt laughed and said, "He shouldn't be a good brother, but a boyfriend, right?"

Both of them were embarrassed.

Nie Haichuan said: "Third Auntie misunderstood, we are just good friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend."

Lu Chengcheng also said: "We have known each other for more than ten years. We are not that kind of relationship. Nie Haichuan has someone he likes in his heart. You will cause misunderstanding if you say that."

After repeated confirmation, the third aunt finally dispelled the misunderstanding: "Sorry, I misunderstood. I won't do it again in the future."

Nie Haichuan didn't care: "It doesn't matter, as long as you explain it clearly." He changed the subject, "What are we having for lunch today?"

"I steamed some salty pork for you, some steamed pork with rice flour, and fried some crispy pork. The crispy pork is still hot. You can eat it. In addition, I stewed half a chicken, with several kinds of bacon and small green vegetables. It's quite a lot. It's definitely a hearty meal."

The third aunt thought that Lu Chengcheng was busy and tired and had no one to accompany her, so she cooked a lot of dishes and wanted her to eat well.

Nie Haichuan took a piece of fried crispy meat and ate it: "This fried crispy meat smells so good."

The third aunt said, "This is a pig that Cheng Cheng raised himself. It has almost no fishy smell and the meat is of excellent quality. It doesn't get dry when you stir-fry or boil it. It's very delicious."

Nie Haichuan took another piece of fried crispy meat, which became more and more delicious as he ate it. He couldn't help himself and said, "Pigs raised with grain are different."

The third aunt nodded in agreement: "That's right, the pork you buy outside tastes completely different from this."

Nie Haichuan said: "It is said that the pigs sold by Cheng Cheng are more expensive. There is a reason why they are more expensive."

The third aunt said, "You get what you pay for."

While we were talking, the third aunt prepared another dish, cold-mixed shredded vegetables. After eating so much greasy food during the Chinese New Year, it is best to have some cold dishes.

The food was ready and served to the table, and the five of them sat down and started eating.

After lunch, many people in the village brought gifts to Lu Chengcheng, thanking her for helping their family make money and for helping everyone make money. In short, they were very grateful to her.

Lu Chengcheng put away the things. It’s New Year’s Day, and the most important thing is that everyone is happy.

After putting away the things, Lu Chengcheng had to go to the pig farm to cook pig food. There was no other way, everyone had gone back, so she was the only one who had to do these things.

Go to the fields and break off the leaves of Swiss chard, take them back to the pig farm and crush them with a vermicelli machine, then put them in a pot to cook. After cooking, pour the paste made from corn and rice into the pot, and use the residual heat to make the paste into a soup.

Then she went to get the stored sweet potato vines - when harvesting sweet potatoes, all the vines were crushed and stored. In addition to her own vines, there were also those collected from surrounding areas. There were a lot of them stored, and now it was time to take them out and feed them.

The originally green sweet potato vines have now all turned black and emit a unique smell. It may not smell good to humans, but pigs like it very much.

Put some sweet potato vines in a pot and blanch them with the residual heat.

From the first pot to the last pot, the pig feed in the first pot can be transferred out.

Lu Chengcheng transferred the pig food out of the pot in order.

This is the first batch. We need to cook three batches in total, otherwise there will not be enough. Fortunately, we use gas to cook, otherwise there will not be enough firewood.

Nie Haichuan, Lin Xiangyun and Lin Xianglu were helping Lu Chengcheng cook.

After cooking, the first batch is almost ready to be fed. When feeding, you need to add some water. A state that is neither too thick nor too thin is the best state for feeding pigs.

Carry the bucket on a shoulder pole and pour it into the trough, then pour a pot of pig feed into a pigpen.

One by one, until every pigpen was poured over.

Nowadays, pigs no longer eat feed, they all eat cooked pig food. The hair of pigs that are raised on this feed is shiny.

The remaining pig feed is put into buckets, then placed on a tricycle and transported to the mountains to feed the black pigs.

The black pig eats well and grows very fast. It has more than doubled in size now. Every time after eating, its belly swells up and it becomes chubby and very cute.

Lu Chengcheng poured all the pig food into the trough. The trough was long and filled with piglets standing on both sides, scrambling to eat the pig food.

She found a villager to look after the pigs in the forest, and bought four sheepdogs to help watch over them. As long as a stranger approached, the sheepdog would press the alarm and Lu Chengcheng's phone would receive a notification. Even if no one was watching, it was very safe.

Lu Chengcheng poured all the pig food into the trough and stood by to watch them eat.

Four sheepdogs squatted in front of Lu Chengcheng, watching the pigs eat together, like loyal guards.

Lu Chengcheng went home and got some dog food. There was rice, meat and vegetables. The food was very delicious. The four sheepdogs had tendon meat on their bodies and were very strong.

The four dogs gave off a strong sense of oppression, and most people didn't dare to get close to them.

After the pigs were full, Lu Chengcheng ordered four dogs to drive the pigs into the pigsty. Lu Chengcheng took out his mobile phone, opened the counting software, scanned the pigs, and checked the number of pigs.

There were three hundred pigs, no more, no less. Lu Chengcheng closed the pig house and locked the door after he left. The only way to get in was to climb over the wall, but there was an electric fence on the wall. It was very important to go into the house and turn off the fence, otherwise you would definitely get an electric shock if you sneak in.

If there is electric shock, an alarm will be sounded and Lu Chengcheng will be notified.

Because it is a mountain forest, Lu Chengcheng did a very thorough job of security.

After locking the door, Lu Chengcheng called the other three to go home together.

……

The next day was the official New Year’s Eve.

When she got up in the morning, Lu Chengcheng took out the Spring Festival couplets, pasted them up with the help of Nie Haichuan, Lin Xiangyun and Lin Xianglu, and then burned paper for the family's ancestors.

Lu Chengcheng didn't know any of this; it was her third aunt who taught her step by step.

First, blanch the killed rooster in boiling water, tie its legs up into a kneeling posture, put it on a large plate, and then bring it to the main room. In addition to the rooster, there are also knife heads, fried whole fish, and three cups of wine, which are used together to offer sacrifices to the ancestors.

The cutter head refers to the meat on the pig's buttocks. It can be with or without the tail, but it is best to have the cutter head with the tail during the Chinese New Year, so that it looks more complete.

Use mud to make a rectangular block and place it right in front of the main room. Light candles and incense, stick them on the mud, and then burn paper money.

One has to pray when burning paper money, but Lu Chengcheng doesn't know how to do that. The third aunt keeps chanting, saying some blessings and telling the ancestors about the New Year.
