Chapter 94 Selling Wild Boar Meat
Ning Jing also clamored to go to the town with them. Grandma Ning had nothing to worry about because this time Li Dabing was going with them. Dabing was eighteen years old and looked tall and strong, which was very intimidating.
Li Dabing wove a few more baskets while Ning Jing was there. Now all five of them had baskets, except Ning Jing and Li Xiaomei. This time they all brought meat, but no bones or the like. They found that those things tasted much better than meat after being processed by Xiao Cao.
Ning Lao Da and Ning Jing went to look for Aunt Li from the supply and marketing cooperative first. Others were watching the pork on the side, but soon they saw Aunt Li, who was knitting a sweater at the supply and marketing cooperative. When she saw Ning Lao Da and Ning Jing, her eyes lit up and she said, "Nephew and niece, you're here."
Ning Jing and Boss Ning followed her over. This time, Aunt Li didn't take them to a corner. She just stood up and asked in a low voice, "How much meat is there this time?"
Boss Ning looked around, then at Aunt Li's expression, and also at the one or two houses selling things they saw on the way to the town. This might be the reform of radio, and they would no longer have to sell things in secret.
But Boss Ning still whispered, "Aunt Li, didn't you say you wanted 200 kilograms of meat last time? We only brought 110 kilograms of meat, and we still have 90 kilograms left."
Aunt Li glanced at Boss Ning and said, "Only 90 kilograms?"
Aunt Li knew that a wild boar must weigh at least 300 pounds, but as long as there was meat, it was fine, she wasn't greedy.
Aunt Li complained slightly, "I thought you weren't coming. I had already made arrangements with my friends before the New Year. Since you didn't come, I had no choice but to give them the meat from my house. Fortunately, you came, otherwise my daughter-in-law would have made a fuss."
Boss Ning smiled embarrassedly. It was indeed their problem. They had a lot of things to do at that time. When they wanted to send it, it started snowing heavily. The mountain was blocked by snow and they couldn't get out at all.
Although free trade is allowed now, there is really not much meat available, and the price has increased again. Meat without a ticket has risen to one yuan and fifty cents, while before the Chinese New Year it was one yuan, and meat with a ticket only cost eighty cents.
Boss Ning and the others had naturally inquired about the price, but since they hadn't arrived in time, they waited until they left the supply and marketing cooperative and whispered, "Aunt Li, it snowed heavily there a while ago, and the mountains were closed off. We can't leave, but the meat will still be at the price we agreed on."
When Aunt Li heard this, she thought, "That's great. With ninety kilograms, she can save dozens of dollars and then sell it to others. That's great."
The smile on her face became brighter, and as she walked, she praised Boss Ning: "You are really a good boy. Remember to come to me if you have any good things in the future."
Boss Ning smiled and said nothing, but soon Aunt Li smelled the aroma of meat.
He stared at the baskets of Ning Xiaosan, Ning Xiaoer and Li Dachuan with shining eyes. Each of their three baskets contained thirty kilograms of meat, for a total of ninety kilograms.
Aunt Li asked Boss Ning and others to help move into her home, and soon Aunt Li handed Boss Ning a dollar.
Li Dachuan felt a little bit disadvantaged. They had clearly inquired and understood that pork was now 1.5 yuan per pound without a ticket. However, thinking that this was the pork promised to them before the Chinese New Year, he didn't say anything.
Now they still have 90 kilograms of pork left, Li Dadan has 60 kilograms, and Boss Ning has 60 kilograms in his basket.
Boss Ning thought that there were few people as generous as Aunt Li. Also, although buying and selling is encouraged now, they had so much wild boar meat that it was inevitable that some would be greedy. It would be better for them to buy it separately.
For the sake of convenience, Boss Ning took out thirty pounds of meat from Li Dabing's basket in a deserted corner and put it into Ning Xiaoer's basket. The rest was divided into three parts, which made it easier to handle.
They were divided into three groups. He and his sister formed one group, Li Dabing formed one group with Li Dachuan and Li Xiaomei, and the remaining Ning Xiaoer and Ning Xiaosan formed one group. Each group had 30 kilograms of meat.
Li Dadan's group went to the former black market location, Ning Xiaoer and Ning Xiaosan went to the north, and Ning Lao Da and Ning Jing went to the south.
Soon, Boss Ning and Ning Jing saw their second aunt giving something to a fat black man.
