Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

After arranging their respective tasks, the robots left one after another.

Liu Guozheng began to prepare breakfast, still millet porridge, simple and easy.

After dinner, they began to repair the ground. From the foot of the mountain, the area of ​​20 meters north to south and 50 meters east to west was all paved with stone bricks. Of course, the stone bricks were mined by the clone in the second world.

The cleaning work was assigned to the clone, the laying of stone bricks to Zhao Hu, and Liu Guozheng was directing from the side. They worked until the sun faded and gently sank over the mountain, leaving behind a golden afterglow. Liu Guozheng decided to call it a day.

Just then, Zhang Long returned from the mountains carrying a wild boar.

We had meat to eat in the evening.

Get a bluestone slab from the second world, set it up, put the wild boar on it and start to kill it.

Of course, this job was done by Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, and Liu Guo was directing them from the side.

The wild boar was skinned and buried in a corner along with its internal organs. Of course, the heart, liver and lungs were left behind for easier disposal.

"Hey, man, I'm really lucky today!"

Liu Guozheng was shocked by this sudden remark. He really didn't expect that someone would come here when it was almost dark. Starting tomorrow, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu would be left at the entrance of the village to stand guard, and no one could enter the village without anyone noticing.

"Brothers, did you see that? I said today's luck will definitely be good. Let's see if it's true or not?"

The person who was speaking was not tall and was very thin. Of course, it was not easy to find a fat person in the village in the 1950s and 1960s. He had small eyes, with round and bright black pupils. He had a small mustache on his mouth, and especially his pair of front teeth, he looked like a living rat.

"San'er, if anyone says you have bad luck again, I, Li Si, will be the first to disagree."

"Yes, I don't agree."

"Hehe, follow the third brother and you will have meat to eat."

The other three people were talking to each other, and they didn't take Liu Guozheng and Zhang Long seriously at all.

"My friend, I'm Jingxi Lai San'er. Is it okay for you to lend me half of this meat?"

The "big rat" named Lai San asked to "borrow" half of the pork as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I, Li Si, want those two pork kidneys."

"The pig liver belongs to me, Wang Wu."

"My dad likes pig lungs. I want the pig lungs."

The other three were not to be outdone and divided the pig offal in a few words.

"Borrow? You're really brave enough to ask for it."

"If you want to eat meat, you can exchange it for something."

Anyway, Liu Guozheng can’t finish eating this wild boar, so it would be nice to exchange it for something.

"In exchange for my friendship with Lai Saner."

"From now on, I, Lai Saner, will take care of you in the Jingxi Mining Area."

Lai Saner said this while stroking his moustache with pride.

"Get lost."

Liu Guozheng looked at Lai Saner with disdain. Damn, he's ugly, but he has beautiful thoughts.

You're even using your friendship to exchange for something. What's the point of having a little scoundrel's friendship?

"you..."

"Okay, you don't know me, Lai San'er. My brother is Lai Qingde, the captain of the Hongqi Commune Security Patrol Team."

Lai Saner raised his eyebrows, raised his head with pride, and even put on an arrogant look.

"If you want to eat meat, either exchange it for something else or go back to dreaming."

Liu Guozheng really doesn't take those little eggs seriously.

"San'er, what should we do?"

"Third brother, what do you say?"

"San'er, I'll listen to you."

Seeing that Liu Guozheng was not giving them face, Wang Wu and the other two became anxious. They looked around, each picked up a stone, weighed it in their hands, and stared at Liu Guozheng unkindly.

"From childhood to adulthood, if I want something, I must get it."

"Boy, since you don't give me face, don't blame me."

"You have to borrow this meat today whether you want to or not."

Lai Saner was extremely indignant, and he wanted to see if he could eat the pork today.

Liu Guozheng looked at Lai Saner and the other three with disdain: "Lai Saner, right? Don't make trouble. If you want to eat meat, either pay or exchange it with something else."

"You don't want to be ashamed, huh? Master Wu will open your mouth first."

A fool named Wang Wu picked up a stone and hit Liu Guozheng.

"Ouch."

With a plop, Wang Wu flew away.

Wang Wu was kicked away.

With the "protector" Zhao Hu by his side, no one could get close to Liu Guozheng. This was Liu Guozheng's special instruction, not to kill anyone easily, otherwise the moment Wang Wu tried to attack Liu Guozheng, he would be a dead man in Zhao Hu's eyes.

"Wang Wu, you're not?"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Because things happened so quickly, Lai Saner and others didn't see clearly how Wang Wu "flew" out.

Wang Wu was in agony, so he hunched over on the ground and curled up into a ball.

"Boy, you're in trouble. You're in big trouble."

When he walked over and saw Wang Wu, who was pale and sweaty, Lai Saner finally realized that something was wrong and he was not pretending. Li Si and the other man looked at each other and silently threw the stones in their hands aside.

"San..er, get...him."

Enduring the piercing pain, Wang Wu managed to say something.

Lai Saner swallowed his saliva and felt a little scared.

Lai San had seen those who were good at fighting and strong in the streets. He had also seen those who could kick people flying, but that was only possible with a running start.

This is the first time I have seen someone like Zhao Hu, who can kick someone away with just a casual kick while standing.

If you have fear in your heart, you will hesitate to move forward.

Li Si and the other man remained silent, as if to reduce their presence and prevent Zhao Hu from discovering them.

"Humph, coward."

Liu Guozheng didn't even look at them straight in the eye, they were all bullies who only cared about the strong and bullied the weak.

Pick up the basin and leave.

"My friend, you can't leave. If you beat someone up and leave, I, Lai Saner, won't allow it."

After looking at Wang Wu, Lai Saner gritted his teeth and said this.

Li Si and the other man looked at him with admiration. It had to be San'er, what a character he was.

"hehe."

"Do you know where this is?"

Liu Guozheng stopped and asked with a smile.

Lai San: “I don’t know.”

"This is Hope New Village, my territory."

"If you cause trouble in our village, I can beat you to death."

Liu Guozheng glanced at the four people with disdain.

"You...you, you dare..."

Lai San subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Hiss... San'er, you are blind."

Wang Wu had just recovered and just as he was trying to remember, Lai San stepped on his finger.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Lai San smiled awkwardly.

"Lai San, huh? Take your people and get out of here."

"Don't set foot in our village from now on, otherwise..."

Liu Guozheng winked at Zhao Hu as he spoke. Zhao Hu picked up the stone and threw it upwards, then punched it quickly, and the stone shattered.

"Friends, let's go now."

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go."

"..."

After seeing Zhao Hu's strength, Lai San now just wants to leave here. As for the pork, let others eat it.

"Wait."

Just as a few people were about to run away, Liu Guozheng spoke.

Lai San and the other four were terrified, thinking that Liu Guozheng had changed his mind and wanted to keep them here. He hurriedly shouted:

"Good man, spare my life."

The four of them knelt down directly, very decisively.

"If you want to eat meat, you can exchange it for something else. Money doesn't work."

"get out."

After hearing what Liu Guozheng said, Lai San and the other four breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that their lives were saved.

"Then...what should I exchange for that friend?"

Lai San, who wanted to leave, asked subconsciously.

"Vegetables, fish fry, and vegetable seeds are all fine."

"Oh, and there are also pepper trees and bamboos. You can exchange anything you have."

Liu Guozheng stated his needs. Vegetables, fish fry and the like were not important. What he mainly wanted was the Sichuan pepper tree, which would be of great use to him.

This is what he suddenly thought of. He planned to plant pepper trees at the foot of the mountain on the north, south and west sides. Eating peppers was secondary. The main purpose was to use the thorns on the pepper trees to prevent insects from climbing up from the foot of the mountain. After all, the mountain was not high and not steep.

In Liu Guozheng's opinion, this is also an opportunity for Lai San and others, so that they will not go further and further down the path of second-rate people.

"Okay, okay."

The four men bowed and nodded and walked away, their eyes still glancing at the pork on the stone slab.

Arrange Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to continue laying stone bricks.

Liu Guozheng put all the processed pork, pig heads, pig livers, and pig lungs into the space. He was not allowed to do that today because it was time-consuming and the main ingredients were not complete and the food would not be tasty.

I just cut some pork belly and prepared to roast it, and of course, I also prepared the millet porridge I had been drinking all day.

I got an iron plate of suitable size from the second world, set it up with two stone bricks, washed it with spring water, lit it to heat it up, put the pork fat on it to roast out the oil, wiped it continuously, and then officially started grilling the meat on the iron plate.

Make a simple dip with soy sauce and vinegar.

Enjoy your meal.

Especially the pork belly, it was very delicious with a little oil in it. Although it didn't taste as good as the pork raised at home, this body was lacking in oil.

In the words of Liu Guozheng: When you are full, you won’t miss home.
