Chapter 247 No money, let’s team up
The five wild boars add up to less than 500 kilograms. Excluding the bones and pig waste, the meat alone is estimated to be more than 200 kilograms.
Because the smaller the pig, the lower the meat yield, let’s put it this way! If a pig grows to nearly 500 kilograms, the meat alone will weigh almost 300 to 400 kilograms.
But even if the meat yield rate is low, there are still more than two hundred kilograms. In this case, it is absolutely no problem for the family to share two kilograms of meat. As for the pigs in the water, of course it is for the people who help kill the pigs. This It's a rule.
"Okay, just listen to Jiayi, Patriot, go find the captain, tell him and ask him to bring someone over to pull the wild boar away."
"Okay dad, I'll go right away."
The uncle agreed and went to find the captain.
In about twenty minutes, about ten people came from the village, including the captain of course.
"Uncle Lao Gen, on behalf of the villagers, I would like to thank you." said the captain.
"You thanked the wrong person. These wild boars have nothing to do with me. They were hunted by my three grandsons from the mountains."
"Ah!" The captain looked at Li Jiayi and the three of them, turned around and said, "Aiguo, why didn't you tell me?"
Li Aiguo curled his lips and said, "You have to give it to me too. Opportunity! I just told you to ask people to pull over some wild boars, and you ran out to find them."
" Uh!" The captain was stunned. After a moment, he patted his forehead and said, "I blame me."
"Jiayi, Cheng Qian, Cheng Hou, uncle, thank you. With these wild boars, people in the village can eat meat during the New Year."< br>
“Hi, Uncle Captain, you are too polite. We all come from the same ancestor and are one family.”
"Yes, yes, we are all a family."
Others may not know how much Li Jiayi has done for the village, but the captain knows it very well!
In order to keep Li Jiayi's secret, only a few people know about it, and those who know will not tell it.
"Okay, take it back and let someone deal with it!" Li Laogen said.
“Okay Uncle Gen.”
"Uncle Captain, please wait." Li Jiayi shouted.
"Jiayi, what else do you want?"
"It's like this, my grandfather likes to eat pig head meat. When dividing the meat, my grandfather and uncle don't divide it. Just keep the big pig head for my grandpa.”
“Hi. , that’s it! The meat should be divided, and the pig’s head should be kept for Uncle Lao Gen.”
“Uncle Captain, it’s really not necessary. When I come over, give it to my grandpa and uncle’s house. Let’s share some of the meat with the villagers!”
"Okay, just do as Jia Yi said." The old man said.
The captain thought for a while, nodded and said, "Uncle Lao Gen, I understand."
Then the captain led people to carry the wild boar away.
After the captain and the others left, the uncle asked: "Jiayi, we just said we should share the meat, why don't we want it?"
"Uncle, wild boar meat is very tasty, we have good ones. If you want to eat meat, why do you need it?”
"You kid, no matter how unpalatable it is, it's still meat!"
Hearing what his uncle said, Li Jiayi was helpless, but he could understand.
In this time of extreme scarcity, don’t say it’s just unpalatable meat. As long as it’s meat, no matter how unpalatable it is, people will eat it.
“Okay, this time Jiayi brought so much meat, even if he eats meat every day, he won’t be able to finish it after the New Year. There are so many households in the village, even if it is divided, how much can it be divided.”< br>
“Patriot, your father is right, we don’t want it anymore, take the pig head back later, and mother will make pig head meat for you to eat.”
"Okay!"
Li Jia took out his pocket watch and took a look at it. It was still a few minutes before two o'clock, and said to his grandparents: "It will be two o'clock soon. Grandpa and grandma, I should go back. Otherwise it will be dark when we get home.”
“Oh, grandson, are you leaving today?” Grandma reluctantly pulled Li Jiayi.
"Grandma, I still have things to do when I go back. I will come to see you and grandpa after the Chinese New Year and stay here for a few days."
"Okay then, be careful on the road. .”
"Don't worry, grandma. I have Asheng and the others, and I also have a gun. There will be no danger."
"Okay, okay, but you still have to be careful."
"I understand, grandma. . ”
Li Jia called Asheng and the others over and put them on, said hello to his grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins again, and then left.
After some distance from the village, Li Jia packed up the big sled, put on a small sled and headed for the city.
And this time Li Jiayi did not plan to return the same way. After knowing that the river was dry, he planned to cross the river and return to the city from Mentougou.
In this case, it can save almost half the time, and there is no need to go around in a big circle.
More than an hour later, Li Jiayi entered the city from Xizhimen.
In the next ten days, Li Jiayi did not go to the pigeon market again, not to mention selling wild boar meat, not even sweet potatoes.
In the past ten days, he has only provided meat and food to Mr. Long and Mr. Wu on the black market.
In addition, he also sent ten large wild boars to the woolen mill. During the rest of the time, he spent every day shopping at various trust stores in the imperial capital.
This time he not only bought famous watches and antiques, but also bought a lot of expensive furniture.
Every time, he asked the trust store to send him to the yard that Mr. Wu found for him, and then he would go over and collect the space.
As a result, he had nearly two million in cash, including the pork he sold before going to grandma's house, and now he only had less than two hundred thousand left.
With so much money, he exchanged it all for expensive furniture and antiques, as well as a small number of famous watches.
This is because he paid a small amount to buy, otherwise the money in his hand would not be enough.
Don’t say that things in this era are cheap, good things are really not cheap.
And this is still during difficult times, otherwise the price may be more than double this. It can be said that Li Jiayi has made a lot of money. The consequence of spending so much money is that it is impossible for various trust stores to have good things in a short period of time.
But it doesn’t matter, he just doesn’t have much money in his hand. He will take advantage of this period to get some more money, and then continue to buy.
Today is the Little New Year in the north, and it is also the first day of holiday for woolen mills. Yes, the tasks this year are not heavy, and the holiday is a few days early.
Of course, this is only the holiday time for woolen mills. Some other factories have holidays, and some have not yet.
On New Year’s Day, it’s time to clean up! The family got up early in the morning.
Li Jiayi lit the fireplace first, and then had breakfast. After breakfast, the family got busy.
Li Jiayi's room was cleaned by himself. Because the division of labor was clear, it only took two hours to clean it all.
During the annual cleaning, of course, you must clean carefully, including wiping every corner.
After cleaning, Li Jiayi set the sauna on fire and wanted to take a good bath and change clothes.
"Plus one!"
"Dad, what's the matter?"
"Go and see if your Uncle Liao has finished cleaning? If he has, ask him to come over Let’s take a sauna together.”
"Dad, you don't even need to ask. I guess the cleaning has been done a long time ago. Even if Uncle Liao doesn't do anything, Aunt Wenwen can still clean it."
It's actually very simple, because Liao Kai's family only has one house with an area of It's only sixteen square meters, the same size as the east wing of their house.
Isn’t it easy to clean such a big place?
“Then go and ask!”
“Okay.”
Li Jia agreed and ran out, and soon arrived at the door of Liao Kai's house.
"Bang bang bang!" Li Jia patted the door.
This is not the past. When Liao Kai lived by himself, Li Jia never knocked when he came over. He just opened the door and went in.
But not now! Now that there was one more person, he was afraid that if he opened the door and went in, he would encounter some inappropriate scenes.
The door opened quickly, and it was Liao Kai who opened the door.
"Jiayi, what are you..."
"Uncle Liao, I burned the sauna room. I came here to ask you if you want to take a sauna together?"
"Yes! Of course, I just wanted to go over and ask if I should steam it after the cleaning."
"Then why didn't you go?"
"Isn't that what I was thinking about? Together tonight." After saying this, Liao Kai scratched his head.
"Okay, don't think about it now." Li Jia spread his hands.
"That's right." Liao Kai nodded and said, "You go back first, I'll pack a few clothes and go there with your aunt later."
"Yes!"
As soon as Li Jia returned home, the sauna was almost full, including the water in the two large oil drums.
Li Jiayi quickly lit the fire again. Anyway, he steamed it first and then took a bath, so it was too late to burn it now.
Just after washing the soot off his hands, Liao Kai walked in with Xu Wenwen.
"Plus one, are you done?" Liao Kai asked.
"It will be ready soon. You and my aunt go inside to warm up first."
"Okay."
When he came to the house, Liao Kai put down the clothes he brought and pulled After sitting down with Xu Wenwen, she said: "Brother Li, your home is more comfortable! Not to mention cotton-padded clothes, you don't even need to wear a coat."
In fact, Liao Kai also wanted to get a fireplace, but his house was too small, with only one room, a bedroom and a living room, so he couldn't make room for a fireplace.
"Of course, this fireplace is very warm." Li Aimin said scornfully.
"Brother Li, please stop me. I remember when we were repairing the fireplace, you didn't let it be repaired."
"If I didn't let it be repaired, wouldn't my son still have to repair it? ?”
“Sister-in-law, have they always been like this?” Xu Wenwen asked Ye Xin.
"Yeah!" Ye Xin nodded.
Liao Kai turned to Ye Xin at this time and said: "Sister-in-law, how about discussing something with you?"
"What is it?"
"It's just a holiday. Wenwen and I will stay at your house for a while. We will provide food and tickets, and I will pay for the meals.”
“I have no problem.”
"I agree." Li Jiayi raised his hand first and said.
Xu Wenwen pushed Liao Kai and said, "Why are you so shameless! What can you come up with?"
My family knows their own affairs, but their family has nothing. ! In addition to some food, there is only some bacon left.
And she knew that Li Jia’s family basically didn’t eat bacon and only ate fresh meat.
Yes, who wants to eat bacon when there is fresh meat!
"It's okay, Auntie, our family doesn't lack this, but it lacks a good chef."
