At this time of year, beef and mutton are generally more expensive than pork.

However, this price can vary considerably depending on the season.

The reason Xie Weijie was willing to pay 50 cents per pound for mutton was because beef and mutton were relatively scarce.

As for beef?

At this time, the crime of killing a cow is even more serious than the crime of killing a person.

It's the same principle as with ancient dynasties.

There weren't many tractors; oxen were the primary means of production.

People in Guangdong Province love to eat beef, and there are many ways to cook beef.

But normally, there's hardly any beef available.

There's nowhere to eat even if you want to.

This stuff is even harder to prepare than mutton.

Xie Weijie said in a low voice, but his tone was a few decibels higher: "If you can get some beef, two yuan a pound is negotiable."

See, the market price doesn't represent the actual price.

In this society, there are always some people who have money, but having money doesn't necessarily mean they can get their hands on goods.

When beef is available on the market, it means that a cow has died.

At this time, the commune paid great attention to cattle.

The team members were all keeping an eye on it.

If one of them suddenly disappears, who wouldn't notice?

Gu Yunyang smiled. He definitely wanted to raise some cattle later, not just water buffalo, but especially yellow cattle.

The taste of beef from yellow cattle is much better than that of water buffalo.

"This is wild boar meat. I only managed to get five catties, and I cut two catties for you today, Director Xie. Take a look..."

Xie Weijie has been selling meat for many years, and with a quick look, he recognized that it was neither water buffalo nor yellow beef.

He was a little disappointed, but still tentatively asked, "If we can still get it, I'll try to find a way to get your relative a permanent position ahead of schedule."

Judging from Gu Yunyang's appearance, he's sure he can get some meat.

They said they'd give it a try first, but they didn't say when they'd make it a permanent position.

Back then, you also had to watch their facial expressions and mood.

At this moment, Xie Weijie, wanting to get his hands on beef, immediately gave a definite answer: "Within two months, I'll get your relative a permanent position, how about that?"

Gu Yunyang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Director Xie, as you know, the meat has already been distributed. This stuff doesn't belong to our Red Flag Brigade. You can find out if you ask around. I only have a few friends who got a wild buffalo before, and the meat has already been distributed."

"Of course I know." Xie Weijie didn't seem to believe him or not, but he still said, "However, it really works. Besides, this job isn't something I can just decide. There are some connections that need to be smoothed over."

I don't believe you for a second.

However, Gu Yunyang also knew that sometimes, it really takes a lot of interaction to build a friendship.

Of course, he also knew that his relationship with Xie Weijie was purely a transaction.

As for what kind of feelings he's talking about, he dares to say it, but Gu Yunyang doesn't dare to believe it.

You can ask for favors for small, everyday things, but don't even think about asking for favors for big things.

Although he killed a bison, which weighed 1,600 kilograms, or more than 3,000 catties.

But after removing the bones, there are still about 800 pounds of meat left.

In addition, there are cow heads, cow tails, cowhides, beef tallow, bones, cow blood, and offal, which are not included in the meat yield.

Pretending to be hesitant for a while, Gu Yunyang finally nodded: "Then I'll go ask for you. However, the meat has already been distributed. I didn't do anything in this. People gave me a little to try because of our friendship. I thought that since Director Xie helped me so much, I cut half for him to try. I never expected that Director Xie would want this so much?"

Xie Weijie smiled and said, "I know you helped me. I'll remember your kindness. I'll definitely help you next time you need something."

After a while, they met again.

Gu Yunyang should ask him about it.
