"To be honest, there are less than 80 kilograms of meat left. To ensure that no one goes home empty-handed, we will sell it in limited quantities."

"Limited edition?"

"What do you mean by limited edition?"

Everyone looked at each other, not quite understanding.

"Each person and each household can only buy one and a half kilograms of pork at most."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao'e scratched her head in confusion.

Whispering with Lin Erhu:

"I don't understand. One and a half catties for fifty people...what if someone only buys one catty? Wouldn't there be some meat left?"

In ancient times, when doing business, it was better to sell out.

Why is this southern branch going the other way?

Lin Erhu was also confused, but still said in a low voice:

"Why worry about so much? Just listen to his aunt. When has his aunt ever missed her?!"

"Yes Yes!"

After a brief interlude, the team's speed increased.

Everyone worked together and finally finished the work before it got completely dark.

Liu Daneng drank water in big gulps and weighed the remaining meat.

"There are about five pounds left!"

Wang Xiao'e felt it was a pity.

"Oh, it would have been nice if there was no limit on the quantity. I have five kilograms left. How many copper coins would I lose..."

Nanzhi smiled when she heard that.

"Don't feel sorry, sister-in-law. We are still here!"

Wang Xiao'e was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment.

Lin Xiuhong counted all the copper coins and handed over the money box.

"No more, no less, exactly 4750 coins."

Nanzhi took the money box, but underestimated the weight of four thousand coins and almost couldn't hold it.

Fortunately, Nan Ke supported her from behind.

Nanzhi subconsciously said, "Thank you."

This made Nan Ke frown again.

Why are you so polite to him?

After all, it's still his fault...

Nanzhi opened the money box and found 100 copper coins.

He gave it to Liu Daneng, "Brother Liu, please check it out."

Liu Daneng was stunned for a moment and quickly refused.

"This... is too much to use."

Nanzhi pushed it back to him.

"80 wen is the labor fee for slaughtering the pig, and 20 wen is the hard-earned money for sharing the meat."

Liu Daneng hesitated.

Although the town sometimes gives some hard work fees, it is always during very busy times.

The employer has to be in a good mood to give a few coins...

They are all from the same village, and this job is from Nanzhi...

He really shouldn't have taken the money!

Nanzhi saw that he was still going to refuse, so she pretended to be angry and said:

"Brother Liu, if you don't want to accept it, I won't be able to trouble you next time!"

Hearing this, Liu Daneng immediately put the money into his pocket.

Nanzhi then smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu. Please help me cut the remaining pork into pieces."

"it is good!"

Liu Daneng nodded in agreement and swung his sword.

The knife is so accurate that there is no need to weigh it. Just one cut will give it exactly one pound of weight!

Nanzhi found another 200 coins from the money box.

Give Wang Xiaoe, Lin Erhu, Lin Xiuhong, Wang Dazhi, and Chen Shiyi 40 wen each.

Several people declined.

"How can I ask you for money when I'm just doing a favor for a fellow villager?"

Liu Daneng scratched his head when he heard this, and felt the copper coins in his arms were hot.

Chen Shiyi also took the lead in declining.

"The daily wage in this town is only 80 cents, and these 40 cents are only for half a day's work. I came here to help on my own, so I can't take this money!"

"Uncle Chen, this is what you have worked hard to earn, you deserve it! Just accept it. If you don't accept it, Xiao'e and the others will be embarrassed to accept it."

"This……"

"Take it, Uncle Chen."

Nanzhi called Chen Shiyi "Uncle Chen" all the time, and she was so happy.

Why didn’t he realize before that this Nanny sounded so nice when she called him uncle?

"Okay then, I'll be disrespectful if you refuse!"

He took the copper coins with a smile and looked at Nan Ke again.

"This is your brother from your mother's family, right? You don't have to go back to cook tonight, why don't you go to uncle's house for a bite to eat?"

Nan Ke nodded politely but did not smile.

Nanzhi saw Chen Shiyi's embarrassed expression and quickly changed the subject:

"No, Yuan Mo is still at home. Let's go back and eat with him..."

"Yeah, that's right... Then I'll go back first?"

Nanzhi saw that Liu Daneng had also cut the meat, and called out to Chen Shiyi who was about to turn around.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Chen, take a piece of this meat back and share it with Auntie."

A flash of joy flashed across Chen Shiyi's eyes.

When he heard in the afternoon that people from other villages were also coming to buy meat, he was worried that there would not be enough pork to go around, so he did not allow his wife to come and grab some.

His wife is angry with him because of this!

If I could get a piece of this and take it back, my wife would feel much better.

Chen Shiyi's eyes sparkled, but he subconsciously refused.

"How embarrassing is this!"

"Here, it's all cut!"

"Well... okay, thank you Nizi!"

The couples Wang Xiao'e and Lin Xiuhong looked at each other without saying a word.

After seeing Chen Shiyi off, Nanzhi divided the remaining copper coins among the four people.

Each family also got a piece of meat.

With the example of Chen Shiyi in front of them, the few people accepted it after a few polite words.

Wang Xiao'e and a few others were cleaning up the chopping board and the venue.

Nanzhi picked up the last piece of meat and planned to take it back to the Nan family for Nan Ke.

But before he could open his mouth, the little girl who had been hiding in the corner and watching from afar ran timidly to Nanzhi.

“Aunt…”

Seeing this, Lin Xiuhong also came over.

Touching the little girl's frizzy hair, he introduced her to Nanzhi in a low voice.

"This is the little girl from the village, Ding You's granddaughter, Ding Baoyun."

"Xiao She'er?"

She'er means beggar, right?

Lin Xiuhong nodded, her eyes gleaming with maternal love.

"Her father is dead, her mother ran away, and her grandfather is dying...Won't this child be abandoned?"

Nanzhi pursed her lips, and a familiar bitterness flashed through her heart.

This kid...

It reminded her of her past self...

She squatted down and looked at him at eye level, and asked softly:

"Baoyun, what do you want to talk to your aunt about?"

Ding Baoyun's clothes were starched and his hair was messy, but his face was quite clean.

A pair of big eyes are like black grapes, bright and lively.

She carefully took out three copper coins from her pocket.

He held the codes one by one in his palm, his eyes avoiding the target.

"Auntie...Auntie, can I buy some meat from you? Just a little bit..."

Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt an unbearable pain.

"You want to buy meat?"

Baoyun lowered his head, fiddling with the coins in his hand, trying his best not to cry.

"I...want Grandpa to have a bite of meat...They said Grandpa is dying..."

Lin Xiuhong sighed when she heard this and explained in a low voice in her ear.

"Old Man Ding is over 70 years old. He is the oldest person in the village and he doesn't have many years left to live! He only had one son, who was born in his old age. Unfortunately, he disappeared two years ago. He must have died outside, leaving behind only this one daughter..."

disappeared?

Nanzhi frowned but didn't hesitate too much.

He directly gave the piece of meat in his hand to Baoyun.

Baoyun was hesitant to reach out to take it.

"Auntie, I only have three coins..."

Nanzhi smiled distressedly, speaking softly:

"This is leftover meat, sold at a low price, one copper coin per piece!"

"really?"

Bao Yun's sparkling eyes were filled with surprise.

He hurriedly picked up a copper coin and handed it to Nanzhi.

"Is it really just one dollar?"

Nanzhi nodded lovingly and gave her a piece of the blood sausage she had just stuffed.

“This is a gift!”

"Thank you, auntie..."

The little guy had tears of excitement in his eyes. He ran away with the meat in one hand and the blood sausage on the other shoulder.

Lin Xiuhong and Wang Xiao'e on the side looked at Nanzhi with admiration and gratitude.

Nan Ke also secretly softened his gaze and quietly curled the corners of his mouth.

His little sister has changed a lot...
