Chapter 80 Selling Pork
When the butcher came to the house, he saw the wild boar whose fur had been burned into black charcoal. His face turned black and he asked, "How can I kill it if it's like this?"
Su Chunlin didn't take it seriously, "The wild boar's skin is thick and cannot be burned inside, so stop inking and hurry up!"
At his urging, the butcher reluctantly cut the knife.
Three words, quick, accurate and ruthless.
After a while, the wild boar was disemboweled.
The pig butcher confirmed that only the skin was burned but not the pork. His face finally looked better. After finishing the last cut, he lowered his voice and asked in Su Chunlin's ear: "Do you want to sell it?"
Su Chunlin raised his eyebrows, without nodding or shaking his head, but looked at everyone and asked, "What's the price?"
The butcher compared the numbers.
Su Chunlin took a breath of air and shouted, "A pound of pork in town costs forty cents, and it will probably rise to forty-five cents now. We have rare wild boar meat! You bid thirty-five cents, Is it suitable? Let me tell you, we won’t sell it for less than fifty cents!”
Su Chunlin looked like there was no room for discussion. The butcher's face turned red with anger, he took the money and left with a groan.
Su Chunlin got frustrated, and after making a plan with Shen Yi and Song Yongnian, he gave Song Yongnian a pig head and eighty pounds of pork, and he planned to sell the rest to the villagers for forty cents per pound.
It's getting cold now. If you buy the pork, you can freeze it until the Spring Festival, and you can still earn money to buy the meat.
The villagers rushed to buy it, and the 160 kilograms of wild boar meat was divided into pieces.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Chunlin sent away the last villager, reluctantly closed his broken door, and then returned to the main room to settle accounts with Shen Yi.
Shen Yi spread the money from selling the pork on the table and said, "I just counted it, there are six thousand four hundred in total. I will give my father-in-law three thousand two hundred to repair the door, and I will take the rest with me."
Han shook his head and feigned anger and reprimanded, "Why are you so honest? This wild boar weighs three hundred kilograms without the fur. He took out forty kilograms and invited the villagers to eat pig meat, and there was still two hundred and sixty kilograms left. It was supposed to be You and Song Yongnian split it equally, but your father-in-law stepped in to ask for losses, so he only shared three shares, all in order to get more for you.
Well, you still want to share it equally with us! Our house just destroyed a door, burned down the courtyard wall and some firewood, and it only cost a thousand cash to cover the ceiling! Take the rest with you quickly! "
Su Chunlin nodded in agreement, feeling very proud, "Song Yongnian is the village chief's prospective son-in-law. If I don't say anything, you might suffer a loss."
Shen Yi couldn't laugh or cry, "Father-in-law, the village chief is not that kind of person. Besides, Song Yongnian also put in a lot of effort today."
Su Chunlin did not deny this, "So I gave him 80 kilograms of pork and a 20 kilograms of big pig's head, which is quite a lot! We still have to repair the door and plaster the walls, so you didn't get any advantage after all!"
"Okay, okay, let's leave this matter alone!" Han stopped them from being polite, looked at the sky outside, and asked Shen Yi, "Are you going to stay here for the night or go back?"
If Su Tai came back with her, the Han family would definitely want to keep someone, but with Shen Yi coming alone and her daughter being left alone at home, the Han family was a little worried.
Shen Yi packed up his things and went out without thinking, "Mother-in-law, I have to go back to be with Xiao Tai."
Han nodded with satisfaction, "Then you go slower on the road. If you still have gas, come here earlier. You won't be so unlucky to run into a wild boar next time."
The couple personally took Shen Yi to the entrance of the village, and immediately asked the villagers to help repair the courtyard gate.
Shen Yi hurriedly hurried, but still couldn't get back to Shenjiazhuang before dark. Fortunately, the snow was thick on winter nights, which could reflect light, and he could see the road more or less clearly. Su Tai had been waiting in the main room without returning to her room. When she heard the noise coming from outside the door, she immediately rushed to open the door.
Shen Yi was very surprised, "How did you know I was back?"
"You heard the sound of our donkey cart, why are you so late?" Su Tai looked worried. She suddenly smelled the smell of blood coming from Shen Yi's body, and her expression suddenly changed, "Are you injured?"
As she said that, she hurriedly started groping around Shen Yi's body.
Shen Yi held her back and comforted her, "I'm fine. This blood is not from me. I guess it was from hunting a wild boar?"
"What's going on?" Su Tai breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed the courtyard door and bolted it. Seeing Shen Yi going to the donkey shed, she hurriedly ran into the stove to light a fire and heat up hot water.
The fish soup and vegetable buns were warm in the pot. By the time Shen Yi finished feeding the donkey, Su Tai had already been served with steaming meals.
Shen Yi washed his hands, turned out the money bag and handed it to Su Tai, and then drank a large bowl of delicious fish soup.
At this time, Su Tai also poured out the contents of the money bag with a look of shock on her face, "Why do I think this money is too much?"
Although she hasn't counted them in detail yet, she has some skills in visual inspection after wearing them for so long.
Shen Yi gave her a thumbs up, "You really hit the mark. Today, a wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms broke into my father-in-law's house. Song Yongnian and I killed it together and divided it over 5,000 yuan. You give it to your father-in-law and mother-in-law." They refused to give up the oil they prepared, so I persuaded them and took them thirty-two taels of silver. I estimate there is more than thirty-two taels."
Su Tai's face turned pale, and she didn't feel any joy in making money. "Is anyone injured?"
Shen Yi shook his head, "Fortunately, Song Yongnian found out in time, oh, by the way, he is getting married to Su Yan."
"Huh?" Su Tai was diverted instantly and forgot about the fear caused by the wild boar.
Shen Yi explained the situation carefully, and Su Tai instantly turned from worry to joy, and said cheerfully: "So I have to prepare some makeup for Su Yan. When she almost married Sang Rong, I gave her A copper hairpin and a piece of material. I’m afraid she won’t accept it this time. How about I get some fish for them?”
Shen Yi nodded thoughtfully, "Our family has a boat, so sending fish will not arouse suspicion, and fish is expensive. The village chief and his family will be very surprised when they see the things. By the way, they can also spread the news that our family sells fish. It's a good idea. Not a bad idea.”
"That's what I thought too!" Su Tixing hurriedly put away the money, then ran to the stove to scoop up hot water and boil another pot.
My man works so hard, so he should be allowed to take a good bath and rest comfortably.
The couple worked until late at night before resting.
The next day, Shen Yi still went out with one hundred kilograms of peanut oil and sixty kilograms of soybean oil.
Su Tai fell in love with the fishing rod in the water space. This time she bought two more fishing nets and threw them around the fishing boat. She couldn't believe that she couldn't generate income!
Time flies when she is busy, and she doesn't even know Shen Yi comes back.
When she appeared again carrying two buckets of fish, smoke was already rising from the stove.
Shen Yi looked at her energetic look and said with a smile: "But it's a good harvest?"
Su Tai narrowed her eyes with a smile and nodded wildly, "Today I caught five large carps weighing four to five kilograms, and seven crucian carp weighing two or three kilograms. There are also a few others that I don't recognize and I don't know if they can be eaten. ”
