As he spoke, Lin Huowang turned around while Liu Rumeng and Lin Xiaoxue looked confused.
He held up two roasted rabbits and asked the villagers and educated youth at the gate:
"Fellow villagers and educated youth, do you want to eat meat?"
Crash!
Suddenly, everyone at the gate of the courtyard became even more agitated.
"What's the matter, you cripple? Are you willing to share your rabbit meat with us?"
"That's impossible! This is meat! What's wrong with you, you cripple? Why would you give it to us for no reason?"
"Who the hell doesn't want to eat meat? My mouth is almost dry. Cripple, what do you mean?"
…
Seeing that everyone's interest had been aroused, especially the group of educated youth who were eager to make a move, Lin Huowang further said:
“I was lucky today, I found two dead rabbits right after entering the mountain.
It was roasted until it was fragrant and sizzling with oil. I also added a little wild celery and wild pepper. Come and smell it. Isn’t it fragrant?
But I don't plan to eat these two roasted rabbits myself.
It is to be exchanged for food. If you want to eat meat, the highest bidder can get it."
That’s it!
Before everyone could react, Lin Huowang held up a roasted rabbit and said:
"I want to exchange this roasted rabbit for at least ten kilograms of corn flour. I'll give it to whoever gives the most."
Then he held up another roasted rabbit and said, "As for this one, I want to exchange it for at least ten eggs. I will give it to whoever gives the most.
If you want to change, you can go back and get cornmeal and eggs now."
Boom!
Now the situation has become even more chaotic, and the villagers and educated youth are all in an uproar.
In those days, even though there was a famine, every household was not well-fed.
But compared to not being able to see meat once a year, many villagers who still had some surplus food at home immediately became interested.
Including the educated youth, how could they give up this rare opportunity to eat meat, especially roasted rabbit meat?
Moreover, the two rabbits in Lin Huowang's hands were not small, weighing at least three or four kilograms.
If you could really use ten kilograms of corn flour to exchange for a three or four kilogram roasted rabbit meat, you would definitely make a fortune.
"Lao Tian, hurry up! Let's go back and get the food.
This roasted rabbit is so delicious, how about we share one?"
“I think so!
Brother Zhong, I’m about to vomit from eating so much cornmeal.
Anyway, my family will send me food coupons, so we must eat meat today."
After Zhong Yuejin and Tian Jinbu finished their conversation, they immediately rushed back to the educated youth compound to get food.
As for the other educated youth, they also kept swallowing their saliva and were salivating over the roasted rabbit meat in Lin Huowang's hand.
But the little cornmeal they had was enough to keep themselves from starving, so how could they have any extra to exchange for meat?
However, a few villagers hurried back home, and along the way, they spread the news that Lin Huowang had exchanged meat for grain and eggs.
Now the village became more lively.
After all, winter in Northeast China is cold and boring, so it was rare to have something new, which naturally attracted the attention of the whole village.
Not to mention, just this morning Lin Huowang had made quite a splash in the village because of getting his marriage certificate with Liu Rumeng.
The villagers who had been staying at home for the winter also came over to join in the fun.
"Hey! Have you heard? The cripple who was kicked out by the Zhang family picked up two wild rabbits and is now exchanging them for cornmeal and eggs!"
"Is this cripple stupid? Why not keep the meat for himself? Exchange it for corn flour? And ten kilograms of corn flour can only be exchanged for three or four kilograms of rabbit meat?"
"Do you have any eggs at home? Lend me two. Let's make ten. I'll exchange them for a roasted rabbit to try."
…
Especially Lin Huowang’s stepfather, Lao Zhang, jumped up excitedly when he heard that Lin Huowang had picked up two rabbits.
"Dad! I want to eat meat, roasted rabbit meat.
I haven't eaten meat for a year. Come on! Let's also exchange ten kilograms of cornmeal!"
When Zhang Erzhu heard others talking about the aroma of roasted rabbit meat, he immediately started drooling and asked for more meat.
"What are you exchanging for? Why should Lin Huowang, that little beast, exchange meat for food?
Those two rabbits were originally supposed to belong to my Zhang family..."
Zhang Fugui immediately became excited and took his eldest son Zhang Dazhu, second son Zhang Erzhu, and third daughter Zhang Hehua to charge towards the dilapidated courtyard of the Lin family.
The news soon spread to the production team, and the deputy team leader Lin Shuisheng said with a smile:
"What kind of luck did Lin Huowang have?
Not only did he pick up a female educated youth wife, but he also picked up two wild rabbits?
Besides, what is he singing?
Why don't you eat the good meat and ask someone to exchange it for cornmeal?"
Captain Lin Jianguo, who already had a grudge against Lin Huowang, immediately smiled viciously and said:
"Hmph! You dead cripple, you don't know how many eyes the Horse King has. This time I'm going to let you see it carefully..."
After saying that, Lin Jianguo also stood up and hurried towards the dilapidated courtyard of the Lin family.
