Cao Cao was a little confused.

At that time, Xu Chu seemed to have lost his way and ran there.

Later, he encountered an assassination attempt and did not return, which resulted in the loss of a great general.

However, Cao Cao did not care much about this village. He just felt that the people in this village were a bit materialistic and greedy.

Everything costs money.

Xu Zhu asked him to pay for the redemption, and Cao Hong also asked him to pay for the redemption himself.

It's totally bandit-like behavior.

But it's not too strange in this era.

"Wolong Village, Deng County? What happened to this village?"

"I don't know this village very well, but I just feel it's not simple..."

Cao Hong told everything he knew.

"Is this the village built by the nephews of Zhuge Xuan, the governor of Yuzhang?" Cao Cao stroked his beard and thought for a while. He seemed to have seen it once before, but he was still a very young child at that time.

"When I came back, I heard the soldiers led by Huang Hansheng from Deng County mention it twice, Zhuge Military Advisor."

"Military Advisor?" Cao Cao was startled. "Could it be that money-grubbing young man you mentioned, called... Zhuge... Zhuge Tian?"

"That shouldn't be the case." Cao Hong shook his head. "The soldier was speaking beside Zhuge Tian at the time. It doesn't seem like he was referring to him."

"Except him..."

"There is also a sixteen-year-old boy in the village!" Cao Hong thought of the shy boy and felt a little suspicious.

Could it be that his 50,000-strong army was defeated by that young man?

"Also, there are several powerful generals in their village. One of them is called Gan Xingba and Zhao Zilong. Their fighting power is definitely not inferior to Zhongkang."

Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong in disbelief. "I heard that Huang Hansheng is the bravest among all the soldiers. How can such a small county like Deng County have so many powerful figures?"

"Yeah, especially Zhao Zilong. Mancheng and Wenqian both said that if they really wanted to fight, they probably wouldn't last more than three rounds."

Having said that, it seems that Cao Cao is really interested in Wolong Village.

I heard that they had food, special cotton-padded clothes, and had talented people like Zhuge Liang in literature and powerful generals like Xu Chu, Gan Ning, and Zhao Yun in military affairs.

So I took it for myself...

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Zhuge Tian glanced at Zhuge Liang and said, "It's cold, don't catch a cold."

"Yes, brother!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "The New Year is coming soon. This is the first time for us in Wolong Village to celebrate the New Year."

"My eldest and second sisters said they would come over for two days after the New Year. Especially my second sister, she said she had a surprise for us, but we don't know what it is."

"Surprise?" Zhuge Tian was shocked when he recalled the topics his two sisters talked about with Zhuge Liang when he occasionally went into the city.

Could it be...

"Yes, it's Chinese New Year soon." Liao Hua said excitedly, "Let's have a bonfire party or something, so that everyone can celebrate the New Year together!"

"..." Zhuge Tian was speechless: "This time, Cao Hong was sold... sent back, and he made a lot of money, so he held a party, didn't he?"

"How can we complain about too many parties?" Liao Hua said as a matter of course: "This time it's for the New Year!"

Liao Hua is simply a party maniac. Zhuge Tian feels that if he were put in a nightclub, he would definitely live in the nightclub every day.

But now that there are so many people in Wolong Village, it would be nice for everyone to get together to celebrate the New Year.

"Okay, then you'll be responsible for the preparations!"

"Kong Ming, give me money!" Liao Hua stretched out his hand to Zhuge Liang.

The current distribution of money and goods in Wolong Village is like this: if the farm earns money through production, Zhuge Tian will take half of it.

This was agreed upon from the beginning. He provided the raw materials, technology, etc.

The remaining half went to Wolong Village, and the people in the village, including Gan Ning and Liao Hua, divided the money according to their respective levels.

If the money from selling Cao Hong is like this time, then it will be shared by the whole village, and Zhuge Tian will divide the money according to rank, just like Gan Ning and others.

Part of the money in Wolong Village will be distributed to everyone, and the rest will be used for public purposes.

For events like this kind of party, when it's the village's turn to pay, the person in charge can ask Zhuge Liang for the money.

However, most of the time, the things he bought were from Zhuge Tian Convenience Store, so a large part of the money went into his pocket.

No one had any objection. Many things in convenience stores are unique to this world and you will never see them again.

Zhuge Tian is not forcing anyone to buy or sell, so what is there to say?

Zhuge Liang was not stingy and approved a large sum of money for Liao Hua.

The main thing is to go to the market to buy sheep and chickens, and then the pigs that have been raised in the village for so long can be slaughtered.

These piglets are slaughtered after they are bought, so they must taste much better than those bought outside.

Nowadays, almost every family in Wolong Village who has married raises three or four pigs and a dozen chickens and ducks.

There is also a collective pigpen and chicken and duck pen in the village.

In total, there are almost two thousand pigs and tens of thousands of chickens and ducks.

This is also the reason why there is no shortage of meat in Wolong Village now.

As for feed, there were fish and shrimp in the river, corn kernels, chaff left over from threshing millet, and pig grass cut by the children.

Although pigs fed in this way grow fat more slowly, they are more delicious.

A piece of land was dug behind the village for composting, and pig manure, chicken and duck manure are also useful.

Of course, these more than 2,000 pigs are of different sizes.

Liao Hua asked around and found out that there were about twenty families willing to sell their own pigs, and they bought more than twenty pigs in total.

In addition, there are thirty pigs slaughtered in the public pigpen in the village, making a total of sixty pigs.

When the pigs were being slaughtered, it was like watching a beheading outside the city gate. People of all ages who had nothing to do came.

Sixty pigs were pinned down on the stone platform, and the big guys like Xu Chu went up with knives.

Even Wudie was riding on his shoulders.

"There will be a lot of blood soon, aren't you afraid?" Xu Chu asked in a muffled voice.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Wudie said disdainfully, "I've been watching my father kill bandits on the city wall since I was over three years old."

Liao Hua, who was standing next to him, felt a chill on his neck and looked at Wu Die: "Girl, why are you looking at me while your father kills bandits?"

"Hehe, nothing much, I just used to think that bandits were all bad people."

Liao Hua shrugged and shouted, "Send them on their way."

A group of people held the pig's head with one hand and stabbed it with a sharp knife with the other, and blood gushed out.

But it wasn't wasted, as there was someone specifically there to collect it in a basin.

Now everyone knows that pickled pepper pig blood or Maoxuewang goes best with rice. These are both good things.

Then the pigs were quickly cut into pieces.

Everyone is here today to slaughter the New Year pig and eat the pig-slaughtering meal!

Save the big pieces of meat and eat them during the New Year in a few days. You don’t have to worry about them going bad in this weather.

Throw the removed corn bones into the big pot and start making soup.

Slice the pork liver and kidneys and cut them into pieces, then stir-fry them with the green bamboo shoots from the cellar.

The pig ears, pig face, pig tail, pig heart and pig mouth walnut meat are all thrown into the braising pot.

Zhuge Tian provided some of the marinade, and then Hua Tuo and Dong Feng improved it with various herbs. The braised meat was so fragrant that it could be smelled from ten miles away.

The pig's stomach was used directly to stew the chicken, and herbs provided by two people were added, saying that it was very nutritious.

The pig's trotters are all braised, and large pieces of potatoes are added in. The red color looks appetizing.

"Eat your chopsticks! Now that we've finished the pig-killing meal, it's time to get ready for the New Year!"
