Chapter 462: Changed Position

When they arrived at the entrance of the meat processing plant, Yaozi stopped the sled and asked Yi Chichi and Liu Lan to wait while he went to negotiate.

The two watched him go to the gate, chat with the old man at the gate for a few words, then come back and ride the sled into the gate.

There are two main roads, one leading to the family quarters. Yi Chichi had been there before and had experience.

The other path leads to the slaughtering area, and this is the path Yaozi took.

She wondered, "Uncle, are we going directly to the slaughterhouse?"

"Um."

Yaozi nodded, thinking he was afraid, and soothed him gently, "Don't be afraid, we are all acquaintances, nothing will happen."

Yi Chichi and Liu Lan looked at each other and said in unison that they were not afraid.

Ten minutes later, we arrived at our destination.

A strong fishy smell hit me in the face, and the ground was covered with old bloodstains and sewage, which flowed slowly on the ground. In a few moments, they froze into ice under the low temperature.

The man wearing a leather apron, covered in blood and wearing a dog-skin hat, was squatting at the door smoking in the wind. When he saw Sledge, he stood up and waved with a cigarette in his hand.

"I thought he wasn't coming."

"That can't happen!"

The sled slowly reached the man. Yaozi straightened the sled and then Yi Chichi and Liu Lan came out of the shed.

"This is my eldest niece, call someone, this is your Uncle Tu."

"Hello, Uncle Tu."

"Hey, hello, hello."

Uncle Tu said hello with a smile, and then asked the three of them to go inside. "While there is no one around, go and pick one quickly."

You can't see anything from the outside, but once you get inside, the temperature rises a lot.

But it's still cold.

The slaughtering area of ​​the meat processing plant is very large, and all the pigs sold in Baoan County come from here.

Sometimes we have to send some support to the city, because if the area is small, we won’t have time to kill the pigs.

It was a restaurant now, and the butchers had all gone to the cafeteria to eat. In the huge slaughterhouse, there were only three of them except Uncle Tu.

Yi Chichi saw the half pig on the chopping board that had not been cut in time. Her eyes lit up and she poked Yaozi with her finger, waiting for him to come and signaled with her eyes that she wanted that half.

Yaozi got what she meant and followed her gaze. Then, with a frown on his face, he said, "Wait, I'll go talk to your Uncle Tu."

Before he finished speaking, he pulled Uncle Tu aside and whispered in his ear.

Liu Lan then pulled Yi Chi Chi and whispered in his ear, "Do you like that half?"

"Um."

Yi Chichi nodded and said softly, "Take this half, and then we'll kill a pig for the New Year in the village and buy some more. We can plan well and eat until the beginning of spring."

If there are people in the village who are reluctant to eat meat, she can buy some extra.

"What about you? Which one do you like?"

"I want to get a big hind leg."

Liu Lan said helplessly, "My grandfather wants to eat legs. He is old, and as my father said, he is not sure how long he can live. Try to satisfy him."

It's time to be satisfied.

Uncle Liu had a very hard life in his early years, covered with wounds from the war. As he got older, his health was indeed getting worse day by day.

When the weather is warm, you can still see the old man walking around, but when the temperature drops, his filial sons and daughters-in-law lock him up at home and don't let him go out.

It’s simple. I get sick every time I go out. I really can’t stand it.

It’s not that I think taking care of the old man is troublesome, but I’m afraid that he will fall ill and never recover.

In this situation, not to mention one leg, ten legs would have to be used if there was a way.

"Old man, you don't want to eat anything except the legs?"

"I want to eat pig liver and blood tofu."

These are all scraps and are easier to handle than pork.

The legs are actually easy to make, because the most popular part of pork now is the fat, followed by the pork belly, and then the lean meat.

Those with bones and not much meat are the last resort.

So, she glanced at the large wooden tubs filled with offal, pig blood, and other scraps, and whispered, "There's hope."

"Do you have enough money and tickets?"

"I brought it."

She felt her pocket and whispered, "I brought a hundred yuan with me. I sent all the food coupons out, but I still have the sugar coupons."

At this point, Liu Lan became a little worried. "Uncle Yaozi has been talking for quite some time. Are you sure we can reach an agreement?"

Yi Chichi glanced at the two people who were talking quietly, "I have confidence in Uncle Yaozi."

If he wasn't sure, Uncle Yaozi wouldn't bring them here.

This is indeed the case.

I don't know how he negotiated, but in the end they took away half a pig, six sets of pig intestines, a pig's head, and two pig legs.

Three sets of pig liver.

As well as six pounds of blood tofu and twenty pounds of pork fat.

Half of the fan was shared by Yi Chichi and Uncle Yaozi. Uncle Yaozi got the pig's head, he took two sets of large intestines, and the remaining four sets were for Yi Chichi.

A pig's leg was also hers, and she asked for a pair of pig's livers.

The remaining two pig livers, a pig leg, and four pounds of blood tofu belong to Liu Lan.

As for the pork fat, divide it equally among the three of them.

After leaving the meat processing plant, the three of them went to the Second Department Store and bought a lot of things.

Then, Yi Chichi and Liu Lan lost the right to ride on the sled.

The two of them had to walk to the commune hospital.

Thanks to the continuous snowfall, the ground was not slippery, but the snow was quite deep, reaching up to the calves.

Just after turning the corner, Yi Chichi saw Mu Da standing at the hospital gate, fully armed and looking eagerly. He waved happily, "Auntie Mu, this way."

Yaozi, “…”

This is obviously his wife, so why is this silly girl Chi Chi happier than he is to see his wife?

"Wife, this way!"

He shouted unwillingly.

Liu Lan looked at this and then at that, and felt that if she didn't follow the crowd in this situation, she would seem out of place.

So, she shouted along.

Mu Da was at a loss for words. He walked over and said helplessly, "Just shouting is enough. If someone didn't know, they would think you were competing."

"No."

Yaozi laughed, "Old Mu, aren't you taking your clothes home to wash?"

"I finished it when I went to the bathhouse to take a shower."

The implication is that you don't need to bring it.

"Then go back."

There are too many things in the shelf shed to take anyone with them.

Muda and Yi Chichi went together.

As we walked and talked on the road, we no longer felt cold and our bodies could even feel warm.

But I dare not take off my clothes, I would rather keep warm

"Did you go to play with Xiao Qiao and the others this time?"

This is referring to Qiao Jun and his group.

Yi Chichi shook his head, "No, I didn't go there. I did run into him once on the street. He was busy as a dog."

Muda became interested. "Isn't their job quite easy?"

"I didn't ask for details, I just know that he was transferred to another position."

After a brief chat on the way, Qiao Jun and the others said goodbye and left in a hurry. It was said that they had not even had breakfast or lunch at that time. She heard their stomachs growling while they were chatting.

I also contributed a few White Rabbit cigarettes.

"Aunt, what did you do for training when you went to the city this time?"

Yi Chichi was interested in her training program and asked curiously.

Muda smiled, "Acupuncture!"

Liu Lan blurted out, "Can this be considered legitimate training?"

"Western medicine students learning Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine training courses have never stopped."

Muda put it succinctly, "Most barefoot doctors in the countryside use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine."

Otherwise, medical supplies will not be able to keep up.

When Western medicine is not available, Chinese herbal medicine comes in handy.

"The medicinal material purchasing station needs cicada sloughs. Next year, remember to pick up cicada sloughs and take them to the purchasing station in the name of the brigade to trade."
