Transmigration to Famine: I Have a System to Collect Everything

Wen Xiushui transmigrated and unexpectedly caught her grandfather holding hands with a widow. Discovering that her grandmother had also transmigrated, the grandmother and granddaughter swiftly divo...

Chapter 120 Everyone Eats Meat

The old lady, with her wild imagination, was talking more and more at this moment.

Xiushui quickly interrupted her thoughts.

"Grandma, don't think about it. My dad and the others are here to carry the pig. Let's take care of the pig first and deal with the rest later."

"That's right. If I had known earlier, I would have killed them by the canal on the mountain. Now I must have exchanged a lot of water!"

"It's okay, our family can exchange it with points."

"Mom, Xiushui, we're here to carry the pigs."

Uncle Wen led the team, and Wen San, Wen Si, Wen Wu, Wen Liu, and Chang Kang and others came together.

Looking at the four pigs still grunting on the ground, everyone smiled.

Chang Kang gave Xiu Shui a thumbs up. "Well done, sister. Whether I can eat meat in the future depends entirely on you."

"I am an old woman, and I am no good, you little heartless one."

"Nana, how could that be? Chang Kang is also pointing at you, hehe."

Master Wen gave this naive son one. "You little brat, you are still young and don't learn your lesson. You only want to rely on your sister and your grandmother. You have to find a way to earn more money to give to your grandmother and your sister.

How can you be a brother like this?"

"Dad, I was just joking, why did you take it so seriously? I really can't take a joke."

Everyone laughed, and Wen Lao Er tried to keep a straight face. "Your father is the one in charge now, so I can't say anything nonsense, understand?"

Chang Kang rolled his eyes, and the group chatted and laughed as they tied the pig to the stick.

Two people worked in a group, with one person in the middle to hold the pigs, and they lifted and supported the pigs as they carried them down.

After arriving at the gathering place, it attracted a lot of attention.

Most people are still envious.

Old Qian and Old Li exchanged a knowing look, thinking about the delicious braised pork, fried meat, etc.

Old Qian even held his shriveled belly. "Old Li, I used to think fatty meat wasn't tasty, but after fleeing the famine, I feel like I can handle it now. I can finish a bowl of fatty meat!"

"Me too. Now I'm disgusted by lean meat. Fatty meat can satisfy my craving."

Someone else chimed in. "It's because fatty meat is so fragrant and delicious, otherwise why would butchers charge a higher price for fatty meat?"

Bones and lean meat are actually cheaper. I wonder if the Wen family will sell off all the pigs they have?"

Everyone was secretly thinking that if they sold it later, they would buy some to satisfy their hunger.

After all, it was during the years of fleeing from famine and the plague was raging. Who knows if this would be the last meal?

Thinking about what Mrs. Wen said, people should be nicer to themselves while they are alive, and eat every meal as if it were their last, so they won’t feel sad.

Well, although I felt sad afterwards, I couldn’t resist eating it because it was so delicious.

Most of them envy it, but some don't think so.

Ma Laojiu and Old Man Li were filled with jealousy, especially Ma Laojiu, who looked at the pigs with red eyes of jealousy.

Ever since he was caught while trying to steal the jade, he has been punished by having to work as a laborer to atone for his sins.

"Uncle Jiu, please pick up more firewood today so we can take care of the pigs."

"Okay!" After agreeing with a smile, Ma Laojiu's heart was bleeding.

How much firewood would he have to collect to boil water for these five pigs? But he still had to collect them.

He glanced at the three sets of things being woven next to him, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.

The Wen family deserved to die, he would not let them go...

The old village chief, the Luo clan members, Guan Cuizhu and others looked at their harvest with envy.

Uncle Wen regretted not going up the mountain, as he was a serious hunter.

However, he was open-minded. During the time he didn't go up the mountain, he had woven two sets of woven fabrics, which was equivalent to 100 kilograms of food.

There's a plague going on these days, so having food gives me a sense of security. What about meat?

He can buy it and eat it.

Thinking of this, he asked the old lady with a smile.

"Aunt, I see you have quite a lot of pork. Can you sell some? We've been spending a lot on this journey. We'd better feed the kids so they can walk more energetically."

"No problem. We'll keep half and sell the rest. We won't charge too much. We'll sell it at the same price per jin as before the disaster."

When everyone heard this, they thought, wow, this is the same price as before the disaster, so they must buy it.

After all, before the disaster, a pound of meat only cost twelve or thirteen copper coins.

Now a pound of coarse grain costs fifty or sixty cents, and there is no place to buy it!

Fresh meat is probably more expensive than grain. The Wen family is so kind that they only sell it at the price before they fled the famine. Many families who originally didn't want to buy meat now made up their minds to buy meat due to the cries of their children.

"Well, let me see how many people are here buying meat. If there are too many, we'll have to limit the quantity. If not, then it's up to us."

"We want to buy it, and we want to buy it."

When I looked around, I saw that everyone around me wanted to buy meat.

Wen Er announced it.

"Okay, if a family of five or less can buy one kilogram, and if there are more than five people, you can buy two to three kilograms.

If there is any meat left later, you can come back and buy it if you want it.

Let’s make it clear first, we’ll try to distribute the fat as evenly as possible, but it really depends on fate who gets to choose which part.

If you buy something and come back to me to exchange or return it, I'm sorry, but I'm not a serious businessman and I can't provide this service.

We are not responsible for any sales.”

"Okay, okay, if you have meat, your family has the final say."

Everyone was laughing and making noises, some people were not too comfortable, but most people still understood the principle.

It’s good enough to have something to eat. If you want to be picky about other things, that’s definitely not going to work.

Old Lady Zheng was the most dissatisfied person.

"What should I do with the pork neck? I don't want it!"

"And pig's trotters, they're just bones with no meat."

"Don't worry, you won't be able to buy any pig's trotters or anything like that. We'll keep them for ourselves. We've decided to only keep a few pounds of good meat and eat the rest like offal and the head and trotters."

Only then did Mrs. Zheng shut up, and most people felt embarrassed.

"You hunted so many pigs, but it's really not worth it to only keep a few pounds of good meat. What's the point of chewing just the heads and hooves?

We should leave more, since there are quite a few pigs, there is enough for us to share."

"It's okay. People in my family like to eat the head and hoof."

Wen Er spoke with great vigor, but he felt weak inside.

God knows why Xiushui's niece said that the head, hooves and offal were enough. He didn't understand but didn't dare to ask.

Anyway, as the second uncle, it is not his business to decide whether his niece Xiushui is well-off or not.

Of course, we have to find the Bao family to slaughter the pig. Brother-in-law Bao and his two apprentices have already sharpened their knives.

Zhang and her three daughters were shaving the hair, cleaning the offal, etc.

Collect the blood in basins one by one and pour them into the hot pot continuously. First, boil two large pots of blood soup.

The rest is added with salt and spices and stuffed into the intestines to make blood sausage.

The crowd of onlookers was three layers deep, making it impossible to get out. Looking at the back, everyone was staring at the white pork and swallowing their saliva...
