Iron Bull Legend

Everybody helped to unload the cargo and donkey from the car. The old man personally bled and skinned the dying donkey. Although he was old, his movements were still steady and skillful, and it was obvious that he had done this kind of work many times before.

The helpers in the yard also lent a hand, and everything was processed in less than an hour. Even the internal organs were washed clean. It was noon, and Tie Niu quickly threw the chopped donkey meat into the big iron pot and started stewing it.

"This donkey is a young donkey. Look at the texture of the meat. It tastes absolutely delicious when it is stewed until it is mushy. It is dragon meat from heaven and donkey meat from earth. I haven't eaten it for many years. I had it once at an old friend's house in a county below." The old man squinted his eyes as if he was reminiscing.

"Grandpa Huazi, what seasonings are needed to cook donkey meat?" It was Tie Niu's first time to cook donkey meat and he really had no experience. If he wanted to make it taste better, he had to know everything in advance.

"Just add chili peppers, and nothing else. You don't know, the original taste of donkey meat is best with chili peppers. Also, the intestines, stomach, etc. can be boiled into a paste and stir-fried with dry chili peppers, the taste is amazing," the old man said with a smile, teaching Tie Niu how to cook donkey meat.

Nowadays, livestock such as cows, horses, and donkeys are the main labor force of farmers. They will never be slaughtered unless they are sick or in trouble. Not to mention the sentiment, they are needed for work. Therefore, no farmer is willing to kill them for meat because they really don't have the conditions.

For people, being able to eat a meal of donkey meat is a very luxurious thing, which is unimaginable. Although the saying that there is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground is passed down by word of mouth, who can eat dragon meat? It is just a saying and a yearning of the common people for delicious food.

Just as everyone was chatting, there was the sound of a car braking outside the compound, and two tall men walked in. Tie Niu hurriedly went up to them and welcomed them with a big laugh.

"Secretary Xue, Secretary He, you are here." Tie Niu smiled and took a few quick steps to welcome the two people in.

"Haha, Tieniu, what are you doing? Oh, it's a donkey? You killed a donkey just to entertain my mom and me." Xue Changhe stared at Tieniu up and down in some confusion. He really couldn't believe that Tieniu would do this, it's just a meal.

“Haha, if I don’t prepare some special dishes for the distinguished guests, it would be disrespectful to you two. Come in and sit down. I’ll make tea for you two.” Tie Niu led the way into the house.

"Tie Niu, we just sat down to have a meal and discuss something, why did you make such a big deal out of it?" Secretary He asked in confusion, glancing at the people working in the kitchen.

"It's like this. Today I wanted to invite you two to sit down and chat. It would be neglectful if there weren't any delicious dishes. So I prepared a little donkey. The old man said that this is a good thing and a great tonic." Tie Niu would not say that the donkey was killed by the impact.

"Oh, you are so polite, okay, we will remember this in our hearts. We two old brothers owe you more and more for this favor," Secretary Xue Changhe said with a double meaning. This involves Tieniu's investment, which is a huge investment of trillions of US dollars. Such support can be justified by gratitude, as it is real money invested.

"Uncle Xue, Uncle He, please don't be polite about this matter. We have been taken care of by you two since we came to the capital. If it weren't for your care, I don't know who would have harassed us. Generally speaking, I should express my gratitude. There is no need to say anything else."

"Well, Tie Niu, we are not outsiders. Just tell us how we will handle your investment. We discussed it before we came here to see your specific needs. Then, we will discuss it based on the actual situation. After all, this is a big deal, and it is not something that we can agree to just by talking. We have to consider the overall situation."

"Uncle Xue, you're making it sound like we're exchanging some interests behind closed doors. To be honest, I'm not short of money, and I believe you won't lose your faith and identity for this little money, right?"

"That's right. However, our Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attach great importance to your investment. At the same time, we need to give you corresponding policy support. This is the necessary attitude for attracting investment." Secretary He echoed his point of view.

"We are all selfless in this matter. Also, I came back this time to invest so much money to pave the way for your future. To be honest, I am not short of money now, and there is no need to worry about all this. I am mainly considering that the future of China needs upright managers like Uncle Xue and Uncle He to come to power and work for the people. This is my original intention." As soon as Tie Niu finished speaking, the two people were stunned.

Because, the two of them never expected that the young man Tie Niu would do this just for their advancement, and they never expected that Tie Niu's return was also for them, so they were a little confused.

"Tie Niu...what is this?" Secretary Xue Changhe was stunned and a little surprised.

"That's right. For so many years, under the management of the two uncles, the capital has been open to the public at night and no one has stolen anything during the day. Whether it is the development of the capital or the people's livelihood order, it has a place in the country. This cannot but be said to be the fundamental reason why this is our capital. However, the current situation here has achieved today's achievements under the leadership and management of the two uncles. Therefore, during the time I managed Yangcheng, I deeply admired the two uncles in the management of the capital. Moreover, because of the care you two gave me, I decided to come back to invest."

"Ah, look at what you said, aren't these what we should do? We are the parents of this place, and the Party has entrusted us with the important task of managing the capital, and we must do this. These are the basic tasks that we should do." Secretary Xue Changhe explained seriously.

"You can't say that. Everyone knows the importance of the capital and the complicated relationships in the capital. The fact that they can handle the relationships with everyone so well shows the ability of Uncle Xue and Uncle He. So, I am thinking of helping you two from these points. I am sincere about it. In addition, the current domestic reform situation also requires you to keep up with other cities."

"I won't say thank you. We two brothers both know what's going on. Just tell us what we should do and how to cooperate with your work. After all, such a large investment is not a small number and we can't afford to make any mistakes. According to the current situation in Beijing, to be honest, the investment environment is not as good as that in Guangzhou. So, we understand what you are saying." Secretary Xue Changhe was finally relieved. This was real help, not something he had to give to the other party.

"Well, then let me tell you my requirements. In the first phase, I want two thousand acres of land for the construction of the project, including civilian residential facilities and surrounding commercial supporting facilities. The rest will be used as Jiuji Technology's experimental research site and factory construction." Tie Niu thought for a while and said.

"For an area as large as 2,000 acres, it will take a certain amount of time for demolition and other aspects." Secretary He was a little surprised. It was really beyond his expectation that such a large area of ​​land was needed all of a sudden. In his opinion, these were just investments in scientific research, and the investment in equipment was larger.

"Yes, because our investment this time is to position Beijing as an administrative and technological city, a financial city, rather than a corporate production city. This is my positioning of Beijing. I also want Sister Jianing to set up a branch of the cooperative in Beijing to cooperate with Beijing's urban construction and urban planning, so that Beijing can stand out in the country and become a first-class metropolis, and it must also become a veritable capital city." Tie Niu's words stunned Secretary Xue Changhe.

Because he knew that the investment Tie Niu talked about the day before yesterday was to start a business, and did not mention the construction of the capital. This made him stunned. Not only was he stunned, but even Secretary He next to him opened his mouth wide. The two looked at each other, really not knowing what to say next.

"I did not discuss this matter with you two in advance because I only completed the planning for the capital and my investment plan last night. The main reason for such planning is to allow you two to sit firmly in this position and not be surpassed by other cities, and to be able to use this political achievement as the basis for the previous step. I hope Uncle Xue and Uncle He don't blame me for interfering in other people's affairs. Take a look at the plan I made," Tie Niu said as he took out a thick stack of information from the backpack next to him and handed it to the two men.

The two of them quickly took it and read it carefully. There were two documents, one was detailed information about Jiuji Technology's investment and construction, and the other was about the overall planning and layout of the capital. This was also Tie Niu's long-term plan to help Xue Changhe.

The two people sat there looking at the information carefully. Tie Niu stood up and walked out. Tie Niu knew that it would take at least an hour for the two people to read the information together. He had to give them time to discuss and digest the information. At least the shock would take time for the two people to savor.

When Tie Niu came to the kitchen, the big iron pot was already filled with the rich aroma of meat. Even the yard was filled with the aroma of donkey meat. People were drooling just standing there, their throats rolling up and down, wanting to feast on it. However, the meat was not cooked yet, so they could only wait.

The old beggar sat on a small stool, holding his small teapot in one hand and drinking leisurely in small sips. He had been living a life of luxury for so many years and did not have to worry about his disciples. Instead, he often received his favorite gifts from them.

His life became even more comfortable. This was also the case since he came to the small mountain village and met the child Tieniu. His life became stable. He was no longer wandering like before. He was homeless, but he felt content. This was also what little Tieniu brought him.

Now, his health is much better than before, and he is more energetic than before. This is really because of this bad boy. He knows it better than anyone else. Even during the years when Tie Niu was abroad, this family still never stopped drinking and eating meat.

Therefore, his leisurely life now is even more enjoyable. Today, he can satisfy his appetite again and eat the donkey meat that makes him laugh even when he is asleep, and his favorite donkey intestines, stir-fried with red dried chilies. Just thinking about the taste makes him feel comfortable and he keeps swallowing his saliva.

This cannot be said that the old man is too greedy. If so, these people who have eaten it would feel the same when they hear about it.
