It needs to be sent to the black market to be disposed of first.
After taking Grandpa Xiao home, he used the cart used to push hay in the cowshed to take a detour to the town.
The black market isn't hard to find; just look for those suspicious-looking people heading there. Besides, he had already figured out where he would be living in Shanghai long before he arrived.
He had no good tools and it would be difficult to handle a whole wild boar, so he decided to ask a small boss in the black market to do it for him.
I knocked on the door of a house.
A man's rough voice came from inside.
Who is it?
"My second aunt asked me to come and see you."
Upon hearing this, the person inside immediately opened the door.
He looked Xiao Che up and down, then noticed the cart behind him and the bulging thing covered by the tattered mat. He could guess what it was just by looking at its outline, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Come in."
Without saying a word, Xiao Che pushed the cart inside.
The burly man lifted the tattered mat, glanced at the lifeless wild boar, and began to plan how to take it down with minimal losses.
"Brother, the meat at the supply and marketing cooperative is 68 cents a pound, and you need meat coupons."
I buy whole heads, and if you don't want a ticket, I'll just give you seven cents a pound, how about that?
Xiao Che knew the price of meat, but he didn't need coupons anymore. Besides, pork was in short supply right now, and they were only giving him 70 cents? Did they think he was stupid?
He looked at the man with feigned disdain and said, "Are you trying to rip me off? Just give me a fair price, or I'll find someone else to sell me to."
He didn't have time to waste on this person.
The man could tell that he was losing patience, so he quickly smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Hey buddy, we're in business, it's normal for me to make an offer and you to counter-offer!"
Okay, this time I'll treat you like a friend, I'll give you 78 cents a pound! That's the real price! I still need to remove the fur before selling them!
Those pig offal don't fetch a good price. It's only because there's such a shortage of pork right now that he wouldn't be willing to pay that price.
Seeing the pained look on his face, Xiao Che knew this was the bottom line and nodded.
The man called to the people inside to come out and help move the wild boar onto the scale.
The three of them worked hard, and in the end, the pig sold for 215 yuan.
However, thinking about the gifts he needed to give, he exchanged four jin for himself. The village chief and the team leader each received one jin, as did Bai Yajing's family, and he kept one jin for himself.
He then went to the black market and bought some brown sugar, malted milk powder, grains, and other food and supplies.
With that pound of meat, it's a presentable meal.
When we returned to Xinghua Village, the sun was high in the sky.
First, they visited the village chief and presented the prepared gifts. The village chief couldn't refuse them, and seeing the greedy looks on the faces of his children, he finally accepted them.
However, he didn't accept it for nothing.
"Old woman, gather some radishes and cabbages from the field for Xiao boy. His family doesn't grow vegetables, so they won't have anything to eat in the winter."
The weather here isn't as cold as in the north, and even in winter, if you set up a shed, you can still eat cold-resistant vegetables.
The village chief's wife had already taken her daughters-in-law to pick the gifts when Xiao Che delivered them to the village.
"You think you know everything! I already got it all set up and put it in Xiao's stroller."
Xiao Che didn't refuse. His family was indeed short of vegetables, and besides, social interactions only last if there's a give-and-take.
After thanking him, he went to the brigade leader's house.
We also harvested quite a few vegetables.
