Chapter 65: Sharing Wild Boar Meat
There is less farm work these days, so Feng Mian and Lu Lan took this opportunity to sell socks, underwear and panties in their two farms.
One hundred and fourty-seven is the county town, three hundred and sixty-nine is the city, and two hundred and fourty-eight is the family resting.
More than 100 yuan a day, Lu Lan can get more than 10 yuan as hard work fee.
After running around for ten days, plus the money she had saved before, she had saved almost two hundred yuan.
Looking at the money in her hand, she simply couldn't believe it.
"I've worked with you for less than a month, and you're making so much money. Even workers in the city can't make that much money."
Feng Mian said, "Don't keep so much at home, save it for another day."
Lu Lan nodded hurriedly.
Feng Feng, that coward, had taken advantage of her being alone more than once to secretly search her house, making her very angry.
She hid all the money in the cracks of the rocks behind the kitchen.
When Lu Lan hid the money, she was worried and muttered to herself, "Feng Feng and the others will be back soon. No, I have to save it now."
She went to the county town again that afternoon and deposited the money in the bank, leaving only a dozen yuan in change.
Two days later, several militiamen from the brigade who had participated in the wild boar eradication operation returned.
Half of the wild boars that were cleared out were used as food, and the other half were distributed to the villages with people.
A total of five people from Fengjia Village were dispatched, carrying back one and a half wild boars, which were their share of the spoils of war.
The fourth grandfather was very happy, stroking his beard and smiling, "We were able to get one and a half wild boars, which means we hunted a lot of wild boars this time."
"Yes, Yue Lin shot down three with five bullets, so our village will get one and a half. Fourth Grandfather, how do you think we should divide it?"
"How many did you kill?"
"I... that thing was very cunning, I didn't hit it."
"Hey, there's nothing here, and you still want to share the wild boar meat?"
Fourth Grandpa ridiculed him a few words, but despite that, he still gave the five of them more meat because of their hard work.
It was first divided among the five of them, and then equally distributed to each household in the village.
Feng Mian and Lu Lan stood aside and watched. Lu Lan talked happily non-stop. Everyone in the village had a happy face.
Feng Mian thought, although people of this era were poor, they had some joys that they truly could not have in the wealthy decades that followed.
Communist economy, planned economy, for example, when dividing the wild boar meat, no matter how little the meat is, it will be divided equally in the end. At most, people with face will get a little more meat.
Wild boars run on the hillsides all year round and get a lot of exercise, which is incomparable to domestic pigs.
There is very little fat, almost all of it is lean meat, and the color of the meat is darker than that of domestic pigs, closer to that of beef.
Feng Mian wanted half a rack of spare ribs and told Gu Yuelin about it in advance.
When the meat was being divided, Fourth Grandpa was a little surprised and said a few words to Gu Yuelin.
"You are such an ignorant kid. What's so good about ribs? They are just bones, without any meat."
"Mianmian wants to eat spare ribs. She asked if I could give her more."
“That’s not worth it.”
He insisted, so Fourth Grandpa had someone chop half a rack of ribs and more than a pound of lean meat for them.
Just want the ribs without the meat, you can give it a little more. No one objects to the fact that spare ribs are worth much these days.
The two men returned home carrying half a rack of ribs.
"How would you like to eat?"
Feng Mian smiled and said, "Let's just eat it."
"I'll do as you say." Gu Yuelin put the ribs on the table with a smile on his face.
Sitting on the stool, he began to take off his equipment.
Feng Mian turned his head to look at him and saw that his profile was clear, especially the curve of his chin, which was soft yet strong, almost perfect.
