Chapter 117 Accepting private jobs
The village is bustling with activity about buying houses.
Soon everyone's attention was drawn to another thing. It was heard that the price of pork had increased this year.
It used to cost around one yuan per pound. Now it's selling for one and a half yuan. I heard the price will go up again soon, which has the villagers worried.
There was only one pig left in the village pigpen, so we quickly made a reservation.
Lu Xiang's parents are down-to-earth people, and they directly said that the pig belonged to Xiao Cailian's family.
Everyone felt disappointed when they heard this.
If it were from Lu Xiang's parents, they could buy it cheaper. But Xiao Cailian was always so powerful that it was almost impossible to take advantage of her.
But regarding the issue of eating meat, I still can't help but ask.
I want to buy some, as cheap as possible.
The gang was waiting for Xiao Cailian: "Hey, are you going to sell that pork? If you do, leave me two pounds of fat."
"I want two pounds of pork ribs!" Before the other party agreed, the impatient person spoke up first.
Everyone in the village loves meat, but I heard that people in the county no longer eat meat. They only enjoy gnawing on bones. Now that the autumn harvest is profitable, I want to try the county way of eating meat.
Xiao Cailian said, "It's just a tiny pig, with not much meat on it. It's not even enough for me to share, so I won't sell it!" She has four sons and four in-laws, and they all have to give gifts during the New Year to show their appreciation. Nothing is more respectable than pork.
Plus, Xiao Cailian's own family members also gave some gifts. She wasn't exaggerating, one pig wasn't enough to share.
Besides, we have to save the meat for ourselves.
It's a rare opportunity to raise a family, so naturally we should be generous with the meat. If we leave some for this and that, how much will be left?
Besides, the villagers are not stupid, they all pick the good ones.
Xiao Cailian said, "Everyone has made so much money this year, how expensive can pork be? No matter how much, just buy some."
As soon as Xiao Cailian finished speaking, several words were waiting for her on the other end.
"That's easy to say. We have a lot of things to spend money on as a family."
"That's right, I want to find a wife for my son and send my grandson to school in the future... Unlike you, you've already given everything away. We're just getting started!"
Xiao Cailian quickly stopped talking: "De de de..." She felt overwhelmed after hearing these words.
After finally raising pigs, they were all craving the meat and were reluctant to share it with others. But Xiao Cailian also knew that she had to give in.
Her family is doing well in the village this year. If they don't donate any money, the villagers will gossip about them.
Thinking about the good meat, he was reluctant to give it away. After thinking for a while, he said, "When winter comes and frost comes, Lu Xiang and the others will move and prepare a feast. I will kill a pig! I will take out some good meat, stew some pig-killing dishes, and treat the whole village to a feast."
The pig-killing dish is the most fragrant.
There are meat and vegetables in a big hot pot, with some pork offal and fatty slices, it is absolutely delicious.
It's okay for everyone to listen to it.
In the past, you had to pay to buy meat. But where else can you find a place like the Fu family hosting a banquet for free?
Several aunts asked, "Can Lu Xiang be the chef?"
They love Lu Xiang’s cooking so much, no one else can make that taste.
During the autumn harvest, Lu Xiang cooked several dishes that made everyone dazzled.
Xiao Cailian smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later. If she's really not your daughter-in-law, you won't feel bad."
The atmosphere suddenly eased again.
…
Whenever Lu Xiang had some free time, she would go to the Shen family mansion to clean up. Just as the villagers said, when this place was sealed off, all the things were taken away.
I heard they were digging three feet underground, fearing they might have hidden gold ingots. The soil here is all loose.
Only the window frames and door panels remained, along with a few plain bottles.
They don't know the value of the vase, they don't know how precious it is.
However, antiques are cheap these days.
If you have money, you can buy a lot of good stuff on the black market. They are worthless now, but in 20 or 30 years, they will be priceless.
But right now, these things can't be turned into money.
This is just an empty house. If you want to move in, you'll need to buy a lot of things.
Lu Xiang has always had money in her pocket since she got married.
Now that I have bought a house, my pockets are empty.
Suddenly I felt insecure and wanted to make some money quickly.
Although selling duck products can earn dozens of yuan every month, which is a very good and stable income, this amount of money is far from enough.
Lu Xiang was in a daze when she was tapped. She jumped in surprise and turned around to see that it was none other than Fu Qinhui.
Fu Qinhui said: "What are you thinking about? I've already told you several times!"
Lu Xiang said: "No...I didn't think about anything."
Fu Qinhui looked at Lu Xiang seriously and asked, "What's wrong?"
They slept in the same bed, so it was natural for him to see that Lu Xiang was worried.
Lu Xiang told him about her lack of money.
If the villagers heard this, they would definitely find it difficult to understand.
With such a nice house to live in and a salary now, Lu Xiang is already one of the richest young people in the village. How could she say she has no money?
But Fu Qinhui knew that Lu Xiang had really squeezed herself dry by buying this house. He said, "Let's go!"
Lu Xiang said: "But, this side hasn't been cleaned yet."
Fu Qinhui didn't care and just pulled her out.
The mansion has been cleaned up, but every time I go there's always dust. It's a big project, so I have to clean it up again.
The others who had helped clean up had all left. Now it was just the two of them. Fu Qinhui pulled Lu Xiang away.
Lu Xiang still had a rag in her hand.
Lu Xiang asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Fu Qinhui went to the village to borrow a bicycle without saying anything, carried Lu Xiang to the back seat, and drove away. The two of them often went out, so they didn't attract attention!
When the wind blew outside, Lu Xiang hugged Fu Qinhui's waist tightly. She could feel the firmness and strength of his waist.
The autumn breeze was very comfortable, and Lu Xiang felt a little sleepy. She pulled her head to rest on Fu Qinhui's lower back.
When she woke up, she realized she had actually fallen asleep. There was also a suspicious saliva mark on Fu Qinhui's lower back. Lu Xiang blushed, then looked around and saw that it was actually the county pig farm.
After arriving at the destination, the two got out of the car. Fu Qinhui asked the guard to call Liu Pang.
After a long time, Fatty Liu came out and saw some surprise in Lu Xiang's eyes: "So, did you agree to that?"
Lu Xiang was confused and had no idea what he was talking about. Then she looked at Fu Qinhui.
Fu Qinhui said, "It's like this. He said he could get pig offal, pig heads and pig trotters for free and asked if we could cooperate."
Fat Liu is the son of the pig farm manager. He has the skills to get these things. He is impressed by Lu Xiang's cooking skills and wants to form a partnership with her to make these things into dishes and then sell them.
He had told Fu Qinhui about this before, but Fu Qinhui didn't agree because he was afraid of tiring Lu Xiang.
Things are different now, they are short of money.
Lu Xiang's eyes lit up when she heard this.
