Su Xinyi saw Ye Xiaoxin's face clearly, and then realized that everyone was watching her, so she lowered her head shyly.
Meanwhile, Deng Huiling, who was sitting next to her, was eating with great relish, smacking her lips repeatedly: "Delicious, I haven't eaten meat for over a year."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Ye Beiping said, "Fatty, I think you two are quite a good match."
"Yes, yes, yes," Hou Baolin agreed, "Not only do they match in appearance, but even their way of speaking and the way they eat are a perfect match."
"Go! Go! Go."
Wu Di glanced at Deng Huiling furtively, pursed his lips, and said, "How could I be worthy of a sent-down youth like her? I have no education, how could I be worthy?"
"Does one have to be cultured to be worthy of it?" Deng Huiling suddenly blinked and asked curiously, "Not everyone in the city is cultured."
"Huiling." Su Xinyi almost facepalmed.
How could I have run into such a terrible teammate? What kind of things are they saying?
Wu Di, however, took Deng Huiling's words to heart and kept stealing glances at her. With her round, chubby face and curvaceous figure, she seemed like someone who would be easy to take care of, definitely meeting his father's standards for a daughter-in-law.
Seeing that Su Xinyi was a little embarrassed, Ye Beiping could only change the subject, saying, "By the way, sis. We can't finish all this meat anyway, so why don't we take it to the county town to sell it tomorrow?"
This way, at least you'll have money on hand, and you won't have to worry about doing business.
Hunting wild animals at most means a family can afford to eat meat, but making money is different; it not only allows them to eat meat, but also gradually improves their living conditions.
"Sold it?" Ye Xiaoxin frowned and pursed her lips. "But we need a letter of introduction or a certificate to go to the county town. Selling wild boar meat doesn't seem quite right, does it?"
"Won't people say I'm opportunistic?"
Although she wasn't highly educated, Ye Xiaoxin still knew some of the city's rules and regulations.
It's not just the rules in the city; even in their rural areas, buying and selling is not allowed at will.
If discovered, not only will the goods be confiscated, but you'll also be fined and imprisoned.
Ye Beiping thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's the trend of the times. In the current environment, if we just rely on earning work points to farm, the whole family will starve. Wouldn't it be better if we had some capital to do some small business?"
"this......"
Seeing Ye Xiaoxin's hesitant look, Ye Beiping directly asked Hou Baolin and Wu Di: "Don't you think that even if Monkey's father is a militia company commander, his family can't eat meat every day?"
"Although there may be some risks, if we manage it in moderation, we can not only improve our lives but also save some money, right?"
"Yes, I see a lot of people in the county starting businesses now."
As the son of the militia company commander, Hou Baolin's words certainly carried weight. He would often go to the county town with Hou Yongping on official business.
However, Hou Yongping went on official business, while Hou Baolin went to have fun.
He is one of the few people in Pingba Village who has seen the world.
Seeing that Ye Xiaoxin was still hesitant, Ye Beiping compromised and said, "How about this, Monkey, Fatty, tomorrow you two go get a car and see if anyone in the surrounding villages wants to buy meat. The market price for meat is about 70 or 80 cents a pound right now, so let's say 70 cents a pound."
“Our family will contribute 100 jin, and Fatty and Monkey will each contribute 25 jin, making a total of 150 jin of pork. We’ll calculate the profits based on the amount of meat we contribute, and then think about what small businesses we can start, even if it’s just selling popsicles.”
"Sure, I have no problem with that." Hou Baolin shrugged, his attitude straightforward.
Two pig legs, just take one leg out.
Wu Di was in a bit of an awkward situation; he had a pig's leg and a pig's head. The pig's head was definitely worthless, and if he sold the pig's leg, he would only be able to take the pig's head home.
"I......"
"Sister, replace Fatty's pig's head with meat. We'll keep the pig's head for ourselves and make some braised dishes later." Ye Beiping knew what Wu Di was hesitating about and made the decision directly.
"This way, we don't need to go to the county town, or need any letters of introduction or certificates. We can easily sell more than 100 catties of pork in the surrounding villages."
"Okay." Hou Baolin and Wu Di agreed without any further worries.
Seeing everyone staring at her, Ye Xiaoxin gritted her teeth and said, "Then you go do it. I'll talk to Mom about it when she comes back tomorrow. But you three remember, you can joke around, but don't make a big deal out of it, or no one can save you."
In the impoverished Pingba Village, every household has no surplus grain, and if anything happens, they don't even have the money to find someone to smooth things over.
On the contrary, Su Xinyi began to look at Ye Beiping differently. He didn't seem to be as scoundrel as the rumors suggested, and at least he was smart enough to make money.
Indeed, once a pig is eaten by oneself, it's gone. But by selling it, one accumulates capital, and eventually, money makes money, ensuring a continuous supply of pork.
The idea of selling popsicles, in particular, is excellent.
Selling popsicles from street to street in the surrounding villages is not a big deal, but if you do it in large quantities, you can definitely make a lot of money.
"Xinyi, I'm full, let's go back." Deng Huiling threw the bamboo skewers on the ground, patted her bulging belly, and got up contentedly.
Noticing that Su Xinyi was staring at Ye Beiping in a daze, she waved her hand in front of him and said, "Xinyi, what are you daydreaming about? Come back to work, we have a ton of work to do tomorrow."
"Huh? Oh."
Su Xinyi stood up slowly, somewhat embarrassed, and said to Ye Xiaoxin, "Sister Xiaoxin, then we'll head back now. If I ever return to the city, you're welcome to come visit."
