But obviously, they had no idea that these were just Lu Yan's marketing tactics.
That pile of ribs definitely doesn’t weigh five pounds.
Just over three pounds.
But Lu Yan just sold them by the pile, and when the women saw the quantity, their eyes widened.
"It's the last stick of incense left. No one wants me to go home and make soup."
Lu Yan's little tricks easily controlled the mentality of several women.
Cheap, plus time limit.
Isn't this pure marketing for the future? But how could a few indigenous villagers know this? When they heard Lu Yan shouting, they all gathered around.
"Really a hundred coins a pile?"
"Didn't you just say you wouldn't lower the price?"
Several aunties were chattering and almost knocked Lu Yan over.
Lu Yan pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly, her face serious: "Isn't it because the ribs are not selling well? Of course, if you don't want them, I can keep them and make soup at home..."
Before Lu Yan could finish her words, she was interrupted by a woman.
"Yes, yes, yes, of course we want it."
In just a short while, all the ribs in Lu Yan's hand were sold out.
That evening, the rich aroma of meat wafted over every household in Xiaohe Village. Lu Yan and Gu Linbei went directly to Old Lady Chen's house.
Old Mrs. Chen’s house.
Just as a table full of delicious food was served, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is so ignorant?"
The second daughter-in-law of the Chen family stood up and opened the door while cursing.
Every household in Xiaohe Village has a hard time. Therefore, villagers never visit at mealtime.
When the second son of the Chen family's wife said this, Old Lady Chen suddenly remembered something. She slapped her forehead and said, "The fifth son of the Gu family gave us an extra pound of meat earlier, saying that he wanted to borrow our stove and seasonings."
As soon as she said this, the other members of the Chen family, including Old Man Chen, all frowned.
Old Man Chen spoke first: "How can you agree to this? That wild boar meat was originally hunted by Gu Laowu in the mountains. Shouldn't it be given to us to eat? How can you have the nerve to sell it?"
"That's right, Mom. You're not going to spend money again, are you?" The second son of the Chen family quickly agreed.
In their view, everything on the mountain of Xiaohe Village was born and raised by nature, and belonged to the village.
They shouldn't have spent the money at all, it should have belonged to them.
But Old Lady Chen had completely different ideas from them.
Even if those things belonged to the mountain behind Xiaohe Village, the people in their family didn't have the ability to take them down.
After all, the things are there, it just depends on whether you have the ability to get them.
"This wild boar was obtained by the fifth son of the Gu family at the cost of his life, and you still want to eat it for free?" Old Mrs. Chen gave her family members an unpleasant look.
The kids in the family have been spoiled by the old man and they are always thinking about taking advantage of others.
"Oh, he paid for it with his life." The old man from the Chen family chuckled, looking nonchalant. "Haven't you heard? He killed the wild boar with one arrow. Hunting is so easy, but he didn't even catch more and brought it down the mountain for us, and even asked us to pay him?"
Seeing that Old Man Chen's words were becoming more and more outrageous, Old Lady Chen felt a little embarrassed.
She quickly interrupted Old Man Chen.
"Okay, the fifth son of the Gu family and his wife are at the door. Someone might hear them!"
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Old Man Chen finally chose to remain silent.
However, Old Man Chen and his sons and daughters-in-law all looked at Old Lady Chen with unfriendly eyes.
As soon as Old Mrs. Chen left, Old Man Chen put his chopsticks on the bowl.
"Spendthrift old woman!"
Old Mrs. Chen naturally heard the voice behind her, but she still walked out with a warm look on her face.
As soon as Old Lady Chen opened the gate, she saw Gu Linbei and Lu Yan.
"Hello, auntie."
Lu Yan stood outside with an enthusiastic look on her face.
Lu Yan's hearing was very good even in the end times. Even though he had changed his body now, he could still clearly hear what was happening outside.
As for Gu Linbei, people who go hunting in the mountains have very sharp ears.
The couple obviously heard the conversation in the room, but neither of them said it out loud.
Bringing it up now would only embarrass Old Mrs. Chen.
"Lao Wu, Lao Wu's family. Come over here. Our kitchen is not big, so you can just use it."
As Old Lady Chen spoke, she opened the gate for the two of them.
Lu Yan and Gu Linbei quickly walked into the Chen family yard.
This yard was better than Gu's, even more neatly maintained. It was obvious that Old Lady Chen was a very particular person.
Old Mrs. Chen led Lu Yan and Gu Linbei all the way to the Chen family's kitchen. Before they had gone far, they saw someone walking out of the main room.
Who else could this person be but Old Man Chen?
Those eyes seemed to be filled with sinister intent, and the look they gave Lu Yan was unkind.
Lu Yan felt it, but she didn't look back.
After all, her temper wasn't very good. If she couldn't hold back and resorted to violence, that wouldn't be good either.
"This is my kitchen. If you two need anything, just call me anytime." Old Mrs. Chen looked at Lu Yan with a loving face.
Old Mrs. Chen gave birth to two daughters in her early years, one of whom died at birth.
The other one died in the mountains at the age of three after running around.
So, when Old Lady Chen looked at Lu Yan, it was as if she saw her own daughter. Her face was full of love.
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
Lu Yan responded politely and looked towards the Chen family's stove.
The stove was kept exceptionally tidy. Although the pots, pans, and utensils were piled together, it was obvious that they were carefully arranged.
Lu Yan was very satisfied with the Chen family's kitchen, so she put the wild boar leg in her hand on the stove.
The wild boar was naturally skinned. According to Gu Linbei, in order to express his gratitude to the village chief, he directly asked someone to send the pig skin to the village chief.
When Lu Yan came here just now, he didn't think much of it, but now he feels a little worried when looking at the whole pork leg.
After all, it was such a big pork leg that she and Gu Linbei couldn’t finish it.
Lu Yan was just thinking about it when someone suddenly ran over.
The woman was wearing a coarse linen shirt with several patches on it. She trotted over and directly pushed Gu Linbei away.
"Sister Lu, your wild boar leg is quite big. How are you going to eat it?"
Lu Yan didn't recognize the person and immediately became alert.
But the woman was too enthusiastic.
She introduced herself with a smile on her face: "I forgot to introduce myself. I am the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family. You can just call me Chen Ersao."
After Chen Ersao finished speaking, she looked at Lu Yan with a flattering expression.
"There's a lot of wild boar leg meat here, so why don't we use a basin?" Chen Ersao said, adding, "Don't think it looks good in this basin, but since you have a lot, you don't have to carry it in batches."
Chen Ersao said this with a face full of enthusiasm, picked up the oil bottle beside her and heated oil in the pot.
Judging from the amount of oil she used, it was quite a lot.
