Chapter 452: Jin of Pork
It’s the 6th day since it started snowing, and tomorrow is the annual New Year’s Eve.
Today, the base shopping mall pushed a notification on its official public account, saying that the farm will slaughter cattle, sheep, pigs, as well as a batch of rabbits, chickens, ducks and geese this morning.
Those who want to buy meat can make a reservation in advance, or queue up at the mall at 10 am the next day to buy it.
This is fresh meat, so the price is definitely high, and each person is limited to purchasing 5 kilograms of all the meat combined.
A pound of beef costs 300 points, mutton costs 400 points, and pork, like chicken, duck, goose, and rabbit, costs 200 points per pound.
Seeing that reservations could be made in advance on the mobile mall, Wu Tingfang and Lin Ting asked Han Ying in the small group.
I asked them how they would arrange it, whether they would make reservations in advance on the mobile mall or go out to the mall to buy it.
If they go to the mall to buy, they can also buy some other things while they are at it.
After all, it’s not New Year’s Eve.
New Year’s Eve is also Han Ying’s birthday. After the end of the world, their families would have New Year’s Eve dinner together every year.
It's rare to see fresh meat for sale, so Lin Ting and Wu Tingfang's families wanted to buy more. The weather is so cold now, it's like a natural refrigerator, so if they buy more and keep it there, it won't go bad.
But unfortunately, each person can only buy 5 kilograms.
They still have plenty of beef sauce and beef jerky, so there is no need to buy beef.
Mutton is too expensive and there is not much meat in it, so I can’t bear to spend it.
Chicken and duck contain mostly bones and very little meat, so it is not cost-effective.
Although goose has meat, it shrinks easily after being cooked, which is even less cost-effective.
Han Ying and her family have raised a litter of rabbits. I heard that they have bred more than twenty rabbits and can be slaughtered one after another. If you want them, just buy them from them.
So after discussion, Lin Ting and Wu Tingfang unanimously decided to use their purchase limit quota to buy pork.
After all, when people crave meat, they usually crave pork.
Especially in this end times when there is little oil and water, what everyone craves more is the fat meat of meat.
After hearing what they were planning, Han Ying said wait a minute, she would go downstairs.
Lin Ting and Wu Tingfang blinked, not understanding why they had to come down specially for such a small matter.
However, the two put down their phones and came out to open the door.
Outside the door, Han Ying was wearing a thick hat and a mask, with only a pair of lively eyes exposed.
"Come in quickly. Even though there's only a door between us, it's still very cold outside."
Seeing Han Ying, Wu Tingfang quickly pulled her in.
The three of them came to Wu Tingfang's stove. Han Ying took off her hat and gloves and asked while warming herself by the fire: "Do you want to buy more meat?"
“Do you have a channel?”
When Lin Ting heard Han Ying's words, her eyes lit up instantly.
There are only three people in her family, and they can only buy 15 kilograms of meat at most.
How many days can 15 kilograms of meat last?
She has no shortage of points, so if she can buy more meat, then of course she will want it.
"I guess so. Lu Yuan is very familiar with the people over there on the farm."
When it was extremely hot, Lu Yuan worked on the farm for a while and Wu Tingfang and the others knew about it.
Moreover, Han Ying and her colleagues can often get seeds of some new plants.
With these relationships, it is not difficult to get more meat.
"How much can you get?"
Wu Tingfang first glanced at her husband who was teaching her son to do homework on the kang, then she leaned over and asked.
Hearing that Han Ying had a channel to buy more meat, He Xiu, who was knitting a sweater on the kang, also came down.
"How much do you want?"
Han Ying did not answer them, but asked back.
"Is this something we can buy whenever we want? Can I have 100 kilograms?"
One pound of pork is worth 200 points, and 100 pounds only costs one point, so Lin Ting can get it easily.
There are three people in her family now, and it is unknown how long the extreme cold will last. If 100 kilograms of meat is divided equally, each person will only get more than 30 kilograms, so they can't eat as much as they want.
I thought Han Ying would feel embarrassed about the 100-jin weight, but unexpectedly, Han Ying replied, "Okay."
Then she continued, "We can get a whole pig from the farm, but we need to keep it a secret and not tell anyone."
Hearing Han Ying's words, He Xiu covered her mouth and whispered, "You two are so capable. You can even get this. Can we also get 100 kilograms?"
Their family's Da Hu was a meat-loving person before the end of the world.
After the end of the world, the meat is all bacon, sausage, etc.
Although there is still some food left at home, we dare not eat it all.
Except for the few times when they had meat with Han Ying and Lu Yuanguang, their family usually only ate meat bit by bit.
Now that I can stock up on meat, I want to stock up more no matter how expensive it is.
"Okay, I'll bring it back tomorrow morning. I'll also give you a set of pig intestines and liver as an extra gift. You can divide them among yourselves."
Han Ying winked at the three of them and then put on her hat and gloves and walked out.
After returning to the third floor and entering the room, I saw Lu Yuan sitting on the kang, looking at his phone, apparently sending a text message.
Han Ying went straight to the kang and took off most of her equipment.
After sending the message, Lu Yuan raised his phone and said, "Scar Wei said he found a large meteorite from the next city. He wants to exchange it for meat and asked if we want it."
"Of course, how big is it?"
Hearing about the big meteorite, Han Ying suddenly became excited.
"Well, I was asking him about the price, but he seemed unsure and said to wait a while."
As he spoke, Lu Yuan turned on his phone again and saw the text message sent by Scar Wei.
Han Ying leaned over to take a look, and then saw Scar Wei said he wanted to exchange it for 1,000 kilograms of pork.
At least 500 kilograms of pure meat must be used, and any part of the other 500 kilograms of pig can be used, adding up to a total of 1,000 kilograms.
To be honest, this price is not cheap.
1,000 kilograms of pork requires about three pigs.
But meteorites are hard to find nowadays, unless you go to faraway places, so a higher price is not unacceptable.
Soon, the two saw Scar Wei sent another picture, which was a picture of the big meteorite.
Judging from the diameter, it is at least 4 meters, which is not small.
It’s worth exchanging 1,000 kilograms of pork for such a large meteorite.
After all, such a large meteorite is difficult to transport.
After the two of them thought it was feasible, Lu Yuan replied to Scar Wei, "It's feasible."
When Scar Wei saw the two words on the phone screen, he almost jumped up.
But I still sighed again, Tangyuan brother and Tangyuan sister are really connected.
It’s really not easy to deal with three pigs.
However, this meteorite was not found by his people, but someone else reported it after he had spread the news.
Therefore, he could only keep half of the 1,000 kilograms of pork for himself, and the rest had to be given to the other party.
His 500 kilograms of pork were not earned in vain, because he was also responsible for transporting the large meteorite.
It was agreed that the transaction would take place that evening, which was New Year’s Eve.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan had discussed this time. Because the meteorite was too large to be transported, they could only store it in the space under the cover of night to avoid being discovered.
Scar Wei didn't expect that they would set the time at night, so he could only send someone to deliver the meteorite in advance.
