Chapter 208 It’s time to choose a room
During the days of slaughtering pigs, the whole village improved its living standards, with dumplings for one meal and meat for the next.
After a few days of being carefree, he became more restrained.
The main reason is that the meat we buy cannot be eaten every day.
The aunt in the village said, "I brought pig's trotters to my sister-in-law last time. She called me several times and said it was delicious. She asked me to bring it to her next time!"
"Don't even think about when we'll have the next meal! Shen Mei's pig is only a little over 100 pounds right now."
"I was so confused at the time that I didn't want to spend more money. Now I regret it. I didn't even pickle the bacon at home, I stewed it all!"
"Hey, why are you stewing meat at home?"
"The child loves to eat, staring at me eagerly. I feel so sorry for him. He eats it all like this."
The aunt who was picking beans nearby said, "I can see you young people don't know how to plan your life. When you buy meat, divide it into three parts. One part is pickled as bacon, one part is used to make lard, and the rest is for yourselves. You are lucky to have a good life, otherwise your family would be ruined."
"You can resist eating such delicious meat. You have great perseverance. I used to feel the aroma of meat when I was a child, but I never felt that way again. This time, when I ate the pork from Shen Qingyue's house, I felt the aroma of meat again."
The two of them were just chatting, and the young wife was so greedy that she talked to her aunt.
Thinking back to the stewed meat and dumplings I had eaten before, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
Even the aunties who knew how to live were muttering, "I wonder if we can still slaughter a pig before the New Year."
I didn't have any experience buying it for the first time. I'll know better if I do it again.
Pig's trotters and pig's tails are both good things, and a pot of benhu is the best to go with wine.
The big pig's head is the most economical. When you remove the bones and meat, you can eat as much as you want!
It's all live meat from pigs.
Spare ribs and pork legs are also good.
Shen Qingyue's killing of the pig this time made everyone confused.
They never had enough to eat, so many people in the village were thinking about raising pigs themselves.
Just raise a New Year pig, and when the time comes to slaughter it, you can take whatever pieces you want.
The two of them were chatting and were overheard by Aunt Yun who was passing by.
Aunt Yun laughed: "Are you really that greedy? Oh, isn't that embarrassing? Nowadays, every household grows vegetables, so there's no room for raising pigs. Besides, even if they did, they wouldn't be as good as Chen Mei and the others. Their pigs are fed with leftover slop from the canteen."
It’s not that no one in the village raised them in the past.
If you don't raise the piglets well, they will become skinny and refuse to eat, and the house will smell bad.
What about raising that thing?
If you follow Aunt Yun's words, if you really want to eat to your heart's content, you can go to Shen Qingyue and buy a whole pig, and then find someone to slaughter it here yourself. It's just a bit more expensive.
But if there are many people in your family, you can also bring some for your relatives.
This year is not like previous years, I made money.
Everyone said, "But we are not that rich. We can just buy 50 kilograms of pork."
What kind of family would it take to buy a pig?
Aunt Yun just exchanged a few pleasantries and left without staying long.
As soon as she left, everyone talked about Aunt Yun with envy.
She had first helped Shen Qingyue collect eggs, and she made quite a bit of money.
Plus, selling kimchi jars and vegetables, things are different when you have money. You even speak louder.
Everyone couldn't help but envy.
For this thing, it’s better to have money.
…
Shen Qingyue went up the mountain to look at the fruit trees and seedlings.
Now the fruit trees are already bearing fruit, especially the peaches, which are growing luxuriantly. The small peaches hanging on them look like lanterns, which is very pleasing to the eye.
There are fewer red strawberries now.
The watermelons are ripe now, and the ones in the field are as big as soccer balls. They still need to grow.
The people on the mountain take good care of it. As soon as you go up the mountain, you can smell the fresh scent.
Aunt Dahua came here to put down the food, but she didn't expect Shen Qingyue to be here too. She said, "Why didn't you go to the county?"
Shen Qingyue said: "Take a few days off from your busy schedule to rest."
The incident was mainly caused by the pork being given away. Somehow, everyone had spread the rumor that their home-raised pigs were delicious.
The fire spread from the steel mill to the county.
Now, whenever people see her, they want to buy pork from her.
Shen Qingyue really had no choice but to hide for the past few days.
Otherwise, why do people say that the steel plant has gradually become the city center?
I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are watching this place. If there is any movement, the people in the county will know about it soon.
I heard that people who want to buy pork now go to Sister Ying at the fruit shop. There are quite a few people coming!
Sister-in-law Ying joked that if the fruit shop couldn't make it, he could just switch to selling pork and become successful.
After chatting for a few minutes, Shen Qingyue wanted to go down the mountain first.
As soon as I left, I saw my dog running out to play with a group of puppies from the village.
"Xiao Hei." Shen Qingyue called the dog's name.
The little dog in the lead immediately walked over with its head shaking and its tail wagging.
The excited tail shook wildly like a propeller.
When He Zhengchen brought this puppy home, Xiao Hei still needed to hold it in his arms.
Now they are all big dogs.
And Mr. Chen helps feed the dog. Old people just spoil their dogs.
The puppy was obviously only a few months old, but he was fed so hard that he became big and fat.
Its fur is shiny black, and its claws are as big as Lang's. It looks very majestic and domineering.
I heard that he has become the boss of all the dogs in the village.
Every time they go out, there are dogs following behind them, which makes Shen Qingyue want to laugh.
But in front of Shen Qingyue and He Zhengchen, Xiaogouzi returned to his normal self, whimpering. Although he was a little male dog, he was very coquettish.
The dogs in the village were all free-range. Shen Qingyue said, "Go play." They all took a walk on their own, running a few laps before returning home.
Xiao Hei barked twice and ran out to play reluctantly.
Shen Qingyue continued walking back. When she reached her own courtyard, she asked, "Where's He Zhengchen?"
"He went to the county, and never came back."
Shen Qingyue's business involves running between the village and the county.
I have to drive to deliver food and other things. Today, He Zhengchen is doing the delivery. Usually, I just come back after delivering.
Why didn't you come back today? After thinking about it, I decided to take a bike ride to the steel plant.
Shen Qingyue rode out on her bike. There were few cars on the road and the bike was very fast. She arrived at the steel plant in less than an hour.
As soon as I entered the factory, the old factory manager at the gate said, "Why are you here just now? There's a meeting at the factory. They're going to assign housing this time."
The first batch of six houses have been renovated and have been lived in for two months.
The second batch of 94 buildings has been completed, and the plumbing and electrical installations are currently underway. We are just waiting for the final touches and inspection.
Now you can think about selling the house.
There was some surprise in Shen Qingyue's eyes: "Ah, then I'll go quickly."
This house sale is closely related to Shen Qingyue. She bought two houses for 100,000 yuan.
That one was built earlier. Shen Qingyue had already asked someone to go over and renovate it, it was a simple renovation.
The construction workers are doing the finishing work at the back in order to hand over the houses together.
Shen Qingyue knocked on the door and entered the meeting room.
Just look at He Zhengchen inside.
He Zhengchen knew that Shen Qingyue didn't like these meetings, so he said she was not at home.
I didn't expect her to come by herself, even though Shen Qingyue doesn't like meetings.
But the people at the steel mill depended on her.
As soon as they saw her coming, everyone from the factory director to the logistics director was overjoyed.
The factory director said directly: "Comrade Shen Qingyue, tell me, should we distribute the houses first, or sell them first?"
This time, fifty buildings were allocated for distribution.
Just as Shen Qingyue said before, those who do not have enough years and qualifications to get a house can buy it first, and then get a refund according to the purchase price at that time after they have enough qualifications.
For a brand as big as the steel plant, it is still very reputable.
As soon as the news came out, 3,000 people at the steel plant wanted to buy it.
There are thirty-six houses in one building, totaling one thousand eight hundred units.
The factory workers' union conducted a survey and found that almost 100% of them wanted housing. Those who had previously been allocated bungalows also had to hand in their houses for the exchange.
There must be a rule on how to divide the house.
This matter has made the factory director and others worried. They are not worried about the lack of income but the uneven distribution of income. How to distribute it has become a problem.
In the past, everyone in the factory ate from the same pot. We were used to it, and everything was divided into three parts and thirty-one parts. How could we decide who to give to and who not to give to?
The logistics director didn't expect that Shen Qingyue would throw the most difficult problem to her as soon as she arrived, and looked at her with expectant eyes, as if she was sure that she would be able to solve this matter.
