Chapter 508 The only honest man
Jiang Feng's feet seemed to be rooted on the floor of Chen Xiuxiu's house, unable to move a step.
"Xiuxiu, are you sure you have a pig at home?" Jiang Feng looked surprised and disbelieving.
Chen Xiuxiu:......
With all due respect, she felt that Jiang Feng's words seemed to be a curse.
"Yes, isn't it normal to have pigs? Doesn't your grandfather also raise pigs?" Chen Xiuxiu looked confused.
Jiang Feng calmed down quickly. The Chen family had a large population. It was normal for Chen Xiuxiu's grandparents to raise one or two New Year pigs and wait until they were slaughtered during the Chinese New Year.
"No, I mean, do you still have extra pigs at home?" Jiang Feng asked.
Chen Xiuxiu:......
Chen Xiuxiu took a deep look at Jiang Feng, her expression was very meaningful. She hesitated to speak, then paused and said, "Is the business of Taifeng Tower not so good recently?"
I was so stressed that I started talking nonsense.
Jiang Feng:...
Jiang Feng put down the electric kettle and spent a few minutes explaining the ins and outs to Chen Xiuxiu, emphasizing how terrible it was for the Jiang family to lose pork during the New Year.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a big crisis.
After understanding the cause and effect, Chen Xiuxiu was also a little embarrassed: "My grandma usually raises two pigs a year. In addition to our family's consumption, she sells them to other families in the village. If you want to buy pork, you will usually make an agreement with the pig farmer before the year. , it must be difficult to buy a whole or half domesticated pig at this time.”
"Isn't Uncle Jiang very familiar with people from slaughterhouses and pig farms? Just ask Uncle Jiang to go to the slaughterhouse and buy it." Chen Xiuxiu suggested.
"Most of the good pigs were sold out a year ago. My parents went to the slaughterhouse in the next city to get the news." Jiang Feng sighed, "It's okay. There are still a few days. I'll think about it again. There is another way.”
"How about this? I'll call grandpa tomorrow and ask him if there is any leftover pork. If there is any, I'll give it to you." Chen Xiuxiu said.
"Xiuxiu, I knew you were still reliable at the critical moment!" Jiang Feng was very moved. He didn't expect that his friendship with Chen Xiuxiu had become so deep that he could even order some pork for himself on New Year's Eve, and he almost burst into tears.
Jiang Feng was filled with tears and took the electric kettle home to boil water.
Early the next morning, Chen Xiuxiu gave Jiang Feng good news. Their family could sell Jiang Feng 20 kilograms of meat and a pig's front hoof at market prices.
Jiang Feng shared the good news with Brother De immediately, and was then dragged into a mysterious group chat called the Pork Purchase Group by Jiang Zai.
The group members are all members of the Jiang family except the old man, third grandfather and grandma Jiang.
Jiang Feng felt that during the time he was away from home, he had been invisibly isolated by the Jiang family.
After Jiang Zaide explained, Jiang Feng realized that because whole pigs were difficult to buy, everyone was actually trying to buy whole pigs and went to various places to buy loose meat. This group chat was built to facilitate everyone to exchange news and purchase pork.
Jiang Feng's approach to buying pork from Chen Xiuxiu opened a new door for everyone in the Jiang family who was struggling to buy pork.
Previously, they were limited to vegetable markets, slaughterhouses and pig farmers they knew. Jiang Feng's new operation allowed them to discover a new way to buy pork. Relatives, friends, customers, classmates, bosses, neighbors, as long as everyone has contact information, please contact them. Once you have gained something, report it to the group. Every day, the fifth aunt will summarize and judge the gap between the kilograms of meat and a whole pig. .
A drop of water can penetrate a stone, a small stream can form a river or a sea, and a single spark can start a prairie fire. With the joint efforts of all the Jiang family's salesmen, a major breakthrough of 1/4 pigs was finally completed on New Year's Eve.
Jiang Feng's record of purchasing pig's trotters from Chen Xiuxiu's family has never been broken. Except for Jiang Feng, no member of the Jiang family has successfully purchased pig's trotters. The best result was the half-fan of ribs that Jiang Jiankang forcibly purchased from an old friend.
Now, the Jiang family's pork acquisition has reached a deadlock.
In the past few days, everyone has searched for all the relatives and friends they could find. People who didn't even ask for help during the Double 11 building construction have also contacted each other for the sake of pork.
Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian receive many calls every day, asking if their numbers have been hacked.
But judging from the current acquisition situation, there is still no hope of getting half a pig away from our minimum goal.
But at least there is meat to eat during the Chinese New Year. Although most of the butchered pig dishes will not be ready, you can still look forward to the pork trotters and pork belly.
New Year's Eve is the day to test the results. Both Jiang Feng, who harvested a whole pig's front hooves, and Jiang Junlian, who didn't even buy a pig's tail, had to return to the countryside with both people and meat.
Jiang Feng was still the last one to arrive.
Chen Xiuxiu's hometown was about three hours away from the old man's village. In order to save Jiang Feng from the trouble when taking it back, Chen Duxiu asked people passing by to take the meat to the county closest to the old man's home.
So Jiang Feng first took a minibus to the county, picked up the pork, and then transferred back to the countryside.
The pork was frozen in a freezer to preserve its freshness. By the time Jiang Feng dragged the sack containing the pork back to the countryside, the meat in the bag had thawed and started to ooze blood.
Jiang Feng dragged the sack all the way over. There was inevitably some blood on his body, and he looked very embarrassed.
Although he was embarrassed, Jiang Feng was happy inside.
There is even a little bit of pride and pride.
Today, on this important delivery day, he, Jiang Feng, will definitely come out on top, surpassing all his cousins, uncles and aunts, and become the best pork buyer in the Jiang family.
The first person in the Jiang family to buy pigs!
Thinking about it, I'm still a little excited.
With excitement in his heart, Jiang Feng picked up the sack and headed to the old man's house.
Dragging it is too boring, you have to carry it to gain momentum.
There is a complete big pig's hoof in his sack!
Big pig hooves!
Complete!
Today's Jiang Feng is destined to be extremely glorious.
The door was wide open, and Jiang Feng entered the house with a majestic attitude carrying the sack.
"Grandpa, I'm coming back..." Before Jiang Feng could say a word, he heard a strange voice.
"Hey." It sounded like a sheep's cry.
"Jiaogua." It sounded like a duck's quack but not quite like it. It was slightly deeper than a duck's quack. It doesn't have the cautious feeling of a duck's quacking, but more like a scolding, very imposing.
"Xiao Feng is back. I'm waiting for you. Come to the yard quickly." The fifth aunt poked her head out from inside with a smile. She still had an apron on her body. It looked like she was working.
Jiang Feng was a little confused. He felt that today's script might not be what he imagined. The majestic and high-spirited aura before entering the door was completely gone. He followed the fifth aunt with a sack on his shoulders.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Jiang Feng was stunned.
All he could see were two geese, three sheep and a tortoise crawling on the ground, which was completely different from the plot he imagined.
Where did these geese, sheep and tortoises come from?
Jiang Feng stood there dumbfounded.
"Xiao Feng, stop carrying the sack. It's so tiring to carry it. Oh, it's still oozing with blood. Be careful of staining your clothes. Come, Fifth Aunt will help you move it to the kitchen." Fifth Aunt road.
Jiang Feng and his fifth aunt transported the sacks to the kitchen. As soon as they entered the kitchen, Jiang Feng heard Jiang Zaide's voice.
"Grandpa, my little brother said that he bought a pig's front hooves and I think he can get it later. We definitely won't be able to make pig-killing dishes this year. We only bought loose meat and not whole pigs, and we didn't have any blood sausage. But I When I came back, I happened to see a sheep seller. They were still selling northern sheep. This pork is not enough. How about we make mutton dishes?”
"Yes, grandpa, Jun Qing and I went to my uncle's house to bring two big geese. Can we cook the big geese for New Year's Eve dinner?" This was Jiang Junlian's voice.
"Yes, Dad, look at the snakehead fish I bought. It weighs more than 8 kilograms, which is heavier than the one caught from the pond last year. The wild fish has extremely tender meat!" This is Jiang Jianguo.
"Dad, look at my deer meat!" This is Jiang Jiankang.
"Grandpa, I asked my previous client to buy the soft-shell turtle in the yard. It's wild. It's definitely wild!" This was Jiang Shoucheng.
"And this muntjac meat..."
Jiang Honest Feng, who was still holding the sack:...
Damn, I lost. (End of chapter)
