Chapter 41 Selling Pork
A villager said to Erlai's mother, "Erlai's mother, this wild boar is going to be sent to Su Qing's home."
"Why send it to that girl Su Qing's house?" Erlai's mother was furious when she heard it. "This is the wild boar my son killed. Even if Su Qing helped to look after the wild boar, she only needs to be given a few pounds of meat. How much more does she want? Maybe it was her life that was saved by my son. As the saying goes, this life-saving grace must be repaid with one's own life."
Erlai's mother's voice was very loud and everyone heard it clearly. The surrounding villagers were also talking about it. Before, Zhang Erlai came down the mountain in a hurry to find Zhao Youcai to go up the mountain to carry the wild boar. Although many people heard that Su Qing was watching the wild boar on the mountain, they did not know that the wild boar was actually killed by Su Qing. They took it for granted that compared with Zhang Erlai, a big man and Su Qing, a little girl, it should be Zhang Erlai who killed the wild boar.
Just now when they were waiting at the foot of the mountain, they were saying that Zhang Erlai was lucky as he had killed a wild boar. Erlai's mother was so happy to hear that.
After hearing what Erlai's mother said, Zhao Youcai said seriously, "Erlai's mother, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Erlai's face flushed with his mother's words, and he said hurriedly, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Su Qing killed the wild boar, so of course it should be sent to Su Qing's home. I'm your son, and you don't know that I have the ability to kill a wild boar? Besides, if I hadn't met Su Qing halfway when I was being chased by the wild boar, I would probably have been killed by it. After all, it was Su Qing who saved my life."
It was so embarrassing. When they were on the mountain before, he had just promised Su Qing that she would not let his mother do anything naughty again. As a result, not even a day had passed and his mother came to provoke Su Qing again. He didn't even dare to look at Su Qing's face.
Su Qing didn't care and didn't think of putting the blame on Zhang Erlai. After all, every wrong has its perpetrator. If Zhao Youcai couldn't suppress Erlai's mother, she didn't mind embarrassing her in public.
As for the villagers watching around, they were stunned by Zhang Erlai's words. What did he mean? The wild boar was not killed by Zhang Erlai, but by Su Qing. Oh my God, is this true?
The jealousy and resentment in the eyes of the old Su family were about to overflow. Well, Su Qing was the one who killed the wild boar, so most of the meat should belong to Su Qing. That would be a lot of pork. Even if they sold some of it, they could still make a lot and a lot of money. If there weren't so many people at the scene and Zhao Youcai wasn't there too, they would have wanted to grab it.
After hearing what her son said, the mother was stunned for a moment, and then she shouted: "How is it possible? Let me tell you..."
"How is that impossible?" Zhao Youcai interrupted Erlai's mother and said, "It was Su Qing who killed the wild boar. If you don't accept it, just keep it to yourself. If you continue to make trouble, I will have someone deduct your work points."
When the news of work points being deducted came up, the mother became depressed. Her son could not earn work points if he did not go to work, and the family's expenses depended on her work points. If the work points were deducted, there would be less money, and the thought of it made her heart ache.
Suddenly, Erlai's mother stopped.
Zhao Youcai said loudly: "I'll tell you guys, this wild boar was killed by Su Qing, so if you guys want to buy meat, go to Su Qing. The old price is 45 cents per pound of pork and 30 cents per pound of spareribs. No tickets are required. You can discuss the specific amount with Su Qing."
After that, Zhao Youcai said to a young man, "Go call Old Man Jin and ask him to come and kill the pig."
"Okay." The young man responded loudly, turned around and ran towards Old Man Jin's house.
Soon, the wild boar was carried to the gate of Su Qing's yard. Because Su Qing's yard was not very big, they simply slaughtered the boar outside the yard.
There is strength in numbers. Several aunts went to the kitchen to boil water. After a while, someone brought a long wooden table and placed the wild boar on it. Since the wild boar was already dead, there was no need to bleed it. They could just remove the hair and divide the pork.
Not long after, Old Man Jin came over with a butcher knife.
Old Man Jin was an expert at killing pigs. Even though the wild boar had thick skin and tough bristles, Old Man Jin was very skillful and it didn't take him long to cut the big wild boar into pieces. In the end, excluding the head, hooves and offal, he got a total of 240 kilograms of pork and several dozen kilograms of ribs.
Su Qing hurriedly thanked Old Man Jin and gave the pig's head and offal to Old Man Jin as Zhao Youcai had asked. In addition, she also gave him two pig's trotters and eight pounds of pork.
Seeing that there were more pig's trotters and pork than usual, Father Jin smiled and said, "You are a good girl."
At this time, someone in the crowd hurriedly asked: "Su Qing, how much pork do you plan to sell?"
Su Qing calculated secretly and decided that she was not going to sell the two pig's trotters. She would keep one for herself and give another pig's trotter and ten kilograms of pork to Yuzhen's family. In addition, apart from the twenty kilograms of pork from Zhang Erlai, the five kilograms of pork each from the three villagers, and the five kilograms of pork from the team leader and the village party secretary, there were still 177 kilograms of pork and several dozen kilograms of ribs left.
Su Qing planned to keep 50 kilograms of pork and 10 to 20 kilograms of spareribs for herself to eat slowly, so she smiled and said, "I plan to sell 127 kilograms of pork and 30 kilograms of spareribs."
The villagers were delighted to hear this. There were more than 40 households in Lihua Village. In this way, each family could buy three or four kilograms of pork and ribs. If some families bought less, they could buy more.
People at that time ate frugally, and a few pounds of pork could feed a family for a long time.
Of course, there are also those who are not satisfied: "Su Qing, you are a little girl and you have left so much pork and ribs. Can you finish them?"
Su Qing smiled and said, "If you can't finish it, I'll pickle it."
Suddenly, the person asking the question fell silent. Of course, if the meat is marinated, it can be eaten longer.
If they were not enthusiastic about buying meat, it meant they had problems with their thinking. Zhao Youcai just waved his hand and asked one person from each family to stay here to buy meat, and the others should go back to work.
Soon, a long line formed in front of Su Qing's house. Everyone was very orderly, and there was no chaos. Old Man Jin's hands were very steady. When he asked for a few pounds of meat, he would cut it without any error.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, but something ruined it.
While Su Qing was putting the meat in the stall, Old Lady Su came to the stall with a basin, pointed at the wild boar meat on the wooden table and said, "Brother Jin, give me ten pounds of meat and five pounds of ribs."
Old Man Jin couldn't help but frowned slightly. He knew about the Su family's affairs, but he was not sure whether Su Qing would give the Su family pork for free. Although Su Qing had been bullied by the Su family over the years, Old Lady Su was Su Qing's grandmother after all. Even if the family split up and lived on their own, the younger generation still had to respect their elders.
Old Man Su couldn't make up his mind, and naturally some people in the queue behind him couldn't stand Old Lady Su's behavior.
Aunt Cuihua said, "Aunt Su, this is not right. We are all lining up, why are you cutting in line?"
