Rebirth in the Eighties: Reclaiming Space and Marrying a Rough Guy

In her previous life, Ye Jin was pure and kind, but she was schemed against by her stepmother and stepsister, which led to her losing her eyesight and being forced to marry the neighborhood rogue.<...

Chapter 77 Buying Half a Pig

A big hand reached out, picked up a pig's trotter and dragged it in front of him, completely ignoring Ye Jin.

"Boss, how much do you want to sell these pig's trotters for? Please give me a price."

Ye Jin looked up at the boss. Everything has a first come first served basis. She had already said that she wanted to buy these two pig's trotters, but this woman pretended not to hear her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"It's 1.5 yuan per pound."

Ye Jin came down the mountain to work today. He was only wearing a patched piece of clothing. However, the woman next to him was wearing a lot of jewelry and looked like a rich person.

The owner of the pork stall looked at her with contempt and offered a perfunctory price.

Generally speaking, the price of meat at this time is 1.2 to 1.3 yuan. Some old people think that pig's trotters are dirty because they have stepped on pig manure, so they are sold at an extra low price.

Because of these old-fashioned ideas, the market price of pig's trotters is about one yuan.

The other party directly asked for 1.5 yuan per pound. It was obvious that he was bullying her because she was young and ignorant, or he was afraid that she couldn't afford it, so he was so arrogant.

"Will you sell it for one dollar? If you do, I'll take both pig legs."

"If you can't afford it, don't join in the fun!"

The woman waved her hands as if to shoo away flies, and the owner of the pork stall also looked at her with disgust.

"If you don't have money, don't come and interfere with my business. I'm a small business and can't afford to be bothered."

Ye Jin glanced at the two of them indifferently and walked to another stall without saying a word.

This stall is quite remote, with less traffic, and many items were not sold.

However, the meat looked quite fresh. Ye Jin picked up a piece and smelled it. Apart from the fragrance of pork, there was no other strange smell.

It was obvious that the pig was slaughtered today, and the young man selling the pork had obviously never done business before.

The stall he chose was too far inside, and he was shy and didn't want to shout, so even if the products were good, he wouldn't be able to sell them.

"How much are your pig's trotters?"

"My mom doesn't like eating pig's trotters. She said that if anyone wants one, it's one dollar per pound, regardless of whether it's the front or the back legs."

"Then how do you sell these ribs and bones?"

Others like to eat fatty meat, thinking that it is oily and gives them strength to work, but Ye Jin only likes to eat pig's trotters and spareribs.

"These bones are something no one eats. If you want them, they're 80 cents a pound."

"How do you sell this pork belly?"

Ye Jin was overjoyed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.

"My pigs are raised on grass, so the pork belly is layered and distinct. My mom said it's 1.2 yuan per pound."

After the young man said this, he twisted his hands together nervously. He was afraid that if he said something wrong, the pork buyer would fly away.

He killed the only pig in the family early this morning. If he can't get the money back, his parents will scold him to death.

Especially since my grandmother’s health is getting worse and worse, she is waiting for this money to go back and see a doctor.

Although pork is less likely to go bad in winter, it will definitely not be fresh if sold the next day.

He had never done business before and didn't know how to do it. Even the prices were taught by his mother, and he memorized them by rote.

"How about this, give me these four pig's trotters, these ribs and bones, and this piece of pork belly."

If Ye Jin doesn't take action, it's fine, but when he does, it's a big move.

She bought almost half a pig by doing this.

The young man was trembling with joy, and quickly picked up the scale to weigh her.

The pig's trotters are always served with a large piece of lean meat in the front, and the front and hind legs weigh a total of 20 kilograms.

The chopped ribs and large bones weighed a total of 30 pounds, and a large piece of pork belly also weighed almost 30 pounds.

The pig originally weighed more than 200 pounds, but after being slaughtered, it only weighed about 150 pounds.

Now Ye Jin made a move and directly bought 80 kilograms.

The young man weighed the items and silently calculated their prices in his mind.

"There are 20 jin of pig's trotters, one yuan a jin, so 20 yuan in total. There are 30 jin of spareribs and large bones, 0.8 yuan a jin, so 24 yuan in total. There are 30 jin of pork belly, 1.2 yuan a jin, so 48 yuan in total."

"20+24+48=92 yuan."

The young man had a quick mind and could do math very quickly. Ye Jin silently calculated it in his mind and when he found no problem, he paid the money.

Ye Jin noticed that there were a lot of pig offal on the table.

Among them, the pig stomach and pig bladder caught her eye. These things taste very delicious when cooked, but they are a bit troublesome to handle.

However, when he thought of the free labor at home, Ye Jin bought the two things without hesitation.

"I want these two too, and give me this sausage too."

You don't need to ask the price of anything in this store. As long as you can see the items, they are all reasonably priced.

"You don't have to pay for the rice noodle sausage. You bought so many things, so just consider it a gift to you. I'll also give you this piece of fat meat."

The young man kept helping her pack her things, fearing that she would regret it if she was late.

The most important thing is that these things are not easy to sell, and the people at home don’t like to eat them, so it would be a waste to keep them here.

"I don't want the fat. I want the piece of meat on the bone. Is that okay with you?"

Before leaving, the young man quietly gave her a lot of things. As a return gift, Ye Jin quietly gave him 10 yuan more.

I hope he doesn't find out, it would be really troublesome to explain.

"Of course, thank you for your patronage, and welcome to visit us next time."

The young man bowed politely and said goodbye with a sincere attitude. Seeing that she couldn't carry the things, he helped her carry them.

When Ye Jin left, she turned around and looked at the stall she had just been to. She didn't know whether they hadn't agreed on the price or if there was some other problem that made the other party unwilling to accept the offer.

In short, two big pig's trotters were neatly placed on the counter. When Ye Jin looked over, he found that the other party's stall was good, but the business was only average.

Most of the things could have been sold, but it was because of this person's bad attitude.

Ye Jin took one bag for herself and gave the rest to the young man selling pork.

The young man did not complain, nor was he afraid of delaying his business. He picked up his things and followed her.

Ye Jin took him to the stall they had just visited and took a walk around it, still sighing.

"My family loves pig's trotters. I just bought four and I'm not sure if they'll be enough to share."

"Miss, my pig's trotters are also very good. If you want them, I can sell them to you at a lower price."

"How cheap is it and how much cheaper can it be?"

Ye Jin pretended to be very interested and asked. The pork stall owner immediately became excited and talked incessantly about the situation of his family and the pork.

After listening to this, Ye Jin just said "oh" and nothing else.

No matter how much stuff he had left, she didn't want to deal with him because of his bad attitude and the exorbitant prices he charged. Even if he sold it at a lower price, she didn't want to bother with him.

Moreover, this man's pork is obviously not fresh. Maybe it was sold yesterday. After weighing the two options, it is naturally more reliable to do business with young people.
