Chapter 48 Distribution of Supplies
After venting his anger, Gu Luan became his calm self again.
Song Boyang walked up to Gu Luan and told her about the supplies in the farm.
"Gu Luan, there are 120 pigs and 53 chickens in the farm now, all of which are kept in the pen."
Song Boyang took Gu Luan and walked towards the pigpen and chicken coop.
This group of people caught all the wild boars they could and raised them.
They also caught and raised those chickens.
In order to prevent the pigs and chickens from dying, a fire was lit in the house to keep the temperature warm.
In addition to these, there were 530 kilograms of coarse grains, but no rice or flour was seen.
There are 350 eggs and two bags of potatoes.
There were a lot of sweet potatoes, thirteen bags, all holding 100 kilograms.
There were some miscellaneous food in the kitchen, but not much, and there was basically no oil or seasoning.
There was a box with sixteen bags of table salt left.
Zhang Yao also found half a pig in the ice outside. It must be that this group of people had killed it but had not finished eating it, so they froze it in the ice on purpose.
The rest should have been eaten by this group of people.
All that was left were a few bags of pig feed.
"The wild boars that were said to be free of feed turned out to be liars."
Liu Tianyu gritted his teeth when he saw the pig feed.
He knew about this farm because of a friend’s introduction.
They say that these are free-range wild boars that only eat vegetables, fruits and melons and are not fed any feed at all.
At that time, he bought fifty kilograms to try.
The price is twice as expensive as ordinary pork, but it does taste better than ordinary pork.
At that time, I thought my friend’s recommendation was good and was planning to buy some more, but then the end of the world came.
"Haha, stop complaining, now it's time for us to divide the things."
Song Boyang laughed and then started talking about serious matters.
The allocation was decided before we arrived, so no one had any objections.
Gu Luan got half of the supplies.
There were a total of 120 live pigs and half a pig's neck. Gu Luan got 50 wild boars and did not want the half pig's neck.
There were 53 live chickens, and Gu Luan got 27 of them.
The extra one was shared by several people with her. After all, that half pork was much better than chicken.
She took one bag of potatoes, six and a half bags of sweet potatoes, 175 eggs, and eight bags of salt. She didn't take any other miscellaneous items.
Of the 530 kilograms of coarse grains, Gu Luan received 255 kilograms.
"How can we take all these things back?"
Zhang Meng was both happy and worried, as having too many supplies was also a worry.
This place is quite far from their community.
Although it is icy and snowy outside, there are still many people along the way.
If they see that they have so many supplies, something bad will definitely happen.
Gu Luan didn't say anything. She had the space anyway, so she didn't have to worry about these things.
"Let's not talk about how to move the supplies back, what should we do with so many live pigs?"
Song Boyang pondered for a moment and said, "There are 50 live pigs for the six of us. A pig has been hungry for quite some time and weighs only about 200 kilograms. We can't finish eating so much pork."
Sixty live pigs weigh almost twelve thousand kilograms.
There is a lot of meat, but given their current situation, they can’t just keep eating meat!
What they lack most now is food, even coarse grains would be good.
The harvest this time was indeed very good, but I didn’t see any rice or flour, which were good for filling our stomachs.
The staple foods are only potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the coarse grains include corn kernels and several kinds of beans.
It looks like a lot, but there isn't much to share among five people.
Everyone understood what Song Boyang meant, and they began to think of solutions.
"There is a trading market near Mingguang Building. There are people collecting things inside. He must have food. Should we exchange pork for it?"
Yu Dong had been to Mingguang Building once, so he knew all this.
"I know what you said."
Song Boyang shook his head. "More than 10,000 kilograms of meat. If we trade like this, someone will definitely want to take advantage of us."
"Then let's trade slowly."
Zhang Meng made some suggestions, but He Rong disagreed.
"More than 10,000 kilograms of pork, at a one-to-one market price, would be more than 10,000 kilograms of grain. Do you think anyone can come up with that much grain to trade?"
"He Rong is right. Let's not talk about food. If we trade slowly, there will be risks as well."
"That's true. The place where the pork is hidden during the slow trade is also a big problem. But if we don't hide it well after killing it, it will be troublesome if it is exposed."
It’s not like no one knows about the farm.
Just because no one has come looking for you now doesn’t mean that no one will come looking for you in the future.
If someone comes looking for them during this period, they will be in trouble too.
Everyone started to get anxious. Having too many supplies can actually be a problem.
"Gu Luan, do you have any ideas or suggestions?"
Song Boyang suddenly asked Gu Luan who had been silent.
He felt that someone as capable as Gu Luan would definitely be able to solve the problem.
It's an intuition!
The other five looked over and looked at her expectantly.
Gu Luan tilted his head and thought for a while, "I have a friend who is also collecting these things. If you are willing, I can let my friend collect them. It will ensure safety and will definitely not expose you."
"Really?"
"Very good!"
Several people smiled happily, and their anxiety disappeared.
"Gu Luan, can your friend eat all that pork?"
Song Boyang was a little curious about who the friend Gu Luan was talking about was.
More than 10,000 kilograms of grain is something that most people cannot afford.
As far as he knew, the guy who collected things at the trading market wasn't that powerful.
I heard that the man was the former big boss of a certain group.
They didn't dare to take out so many things at once, but someone Gu Luan knew could do it?
"No problem, don't worry."
Gu Luan nodded and said that she could eat a hundred times more.
She has no shortage of pork and food. These people are good, so she is willing to help them solve some minor troubles.
Besides, she didn't lose anything by doing this.
"Gu Luan, thank goodness for you."
"Thank you, Gu Luan."
The six people expressed their gratitude sincerely.
"No need to thank me. Although I know you guys, I still have to pay you at the market price. I won't let my friends give you a discount."
Let me be frank with you, she doesn't want to do anything good, but she is also getting into trouble.
"That's natural."
The six people smiled and nodded.
"50 live pigs weigh a total of 12,000 kilograms, and one kilogram of pork is exchanged for one kilogram of grain."
"But this is a live pig, with blood and viscera."
"Totaling the internal organs and blood, it weighs about 60 kilograms."
"So one pig is calculated as 140 kilograms of pork."
"There are 60 catties of pig's internal organs and blood, and I can only give you one catty at the price of 3 taels of grain. 60 catties converted into grain is 85 catties of grain.
"One live pig costs 158 kilograms of grain."
"If you are willing, then trade. If not, I won't force you."
When it comes to business, Gu Luan won't give in just because he knows them and thinks they are nice people.
After Gu Luan finished speaking, everyone realized the error in their calculations.
It is indeed as Gu Luan said, live pigs and pure pork are not priced the same.
The offal and pig blood should be traded on a one-to-one basis.
Those who trade will definitely lose a lot of money.
After all, the internal organs take a lot of time to clean, and pig blood is worthless.
