Chapter 389: Dividing the Meat
Not long after staying in the threshing ground, Zhou Ziwen suddenly heard a broadcast.
The person broadcasting was still the old man Wu Dagang, but the content of his broadcast this time made everyone very happy.
"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, pay attention. I have some good news for you. The village is going to kill a big fat pig. Everyone, remember to come and share the meat."
"I'll say it again. The village is going to kill a big fat pig. Everyone, remember to share the meat..."
…
As soon as this broadcast came out, the villagers who had already arrived at the threshing ground cheered.
The annual meat distribution season has been long awaited by everyone. It is so exciting to finally get the meat distributed!
"Line up, come one by one, don't push, whoever pushes last will get the meat."
"Wang Laoliu, I'm talking to you. Go to the back and don't cut in line."
…
At the scene, the team leader was maintaining order and everyone had great faith in him. With him in charge, it didn't take long before the people waiting for the meat to be divided gathered in line.
Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters also mixed in the middle of the team. There were not many people in the front row.
They were also reminded by Aunt Li and were already waiting at the place where the meat was distributed. Those who are close to the water get the moon first.
When the team leader shouted to line up, I naturally lined up at the front of the line.
Under Zhu Youde's urging, everyone got the meat quickly, and soon it was Zhou Ziwen and the others' turn.
"Xiao Zhou, you can take three pounds, one pound each for your wife and her sister. What kind of meat do you want?"
The reason why Zhou Ziwen received three kilograms by himself was because of the support of the leader of the Mushroom Group.
After all, as a team leader, the benefits you receive are definitely different from those of ordinary members.
In addition, he was registered in the health center, and it was a title given by the guard team, so it was understandable that he got more than others.
"If we count all our meat together, we will need ribs." Zhou Ziwen said.
"Huh? There's not much meat on the ribs?" Zhu Youde was stunned when he heard this.
He was originally planning to give Zhou Ziwen some fat!
As the person distributing supplies, he still has this right.
"It's okay, I just like eating spare ribs." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Okay, that's up to you. If you all want ribs, you can get more. How about this? I'll give you ten pounds."
Because there is not much meat in ribs, it would be unfair to calculate them according to the original weight.
This situation is actually very normal. For example, if someone wants fat meat, you definitely cannot give it all to him. Usually you will give him some lean meat.
As for those that require internal organs, when they are divided, the weight obtained will be more than the actual weight.
It is impossible to treat everyone equally, so the production team can only try its best to be fair.
Zhu Youde likes to haggle over every little thing and wants to settle accounts with others over every single needle and thread.
It is precisely because he likes to calculate that he has been able to hold the position of accountant firmly.
Just like the distribution of meat this time, although everyone had some complaints, they didn't have much opinion.
After all, everyone gets about the same amount of meat, some good and some bad, and the main goal is fairness.
Because his son wanted to learn some medical skills from Zhou Ziwen, Zhu Youde took some care of him.
But since Zhou Ziwen doesn't need it, he doesn't need to go through so much trouble.
Zhu Youde asked the butcher to cut a full ten pounds of ribs, and handed them to Zhou Ziwen personally.
"Xiao Zhou, this is your choice. Don't say I didn't take care of you!" Zhu Youde said with a smile.
"No, thank you Uncle Zhu. I'm really lucky to be able to get so many ribs!" Zhou Ziwen thanked him with a smile.
"What do you mean by taking advantage? The spareribs are not oily, so you should get a bigger share. It means you are willing to take this loss. Otherwise, go ask other people if they are willing to exchange with you?" Zhu Youde said with a serious face, acting impartial and just.
"Everyone has their own hobbies. I think I've made a profit by gaining so many extra pounds of meat!" Zhou Ziwen laughed and without delay, took the Chen sisters away from their location.
After the announcement just now, more and more people came to line up.
Zhou Ziwen didn't want to delay everyone, so he took the meat and left quickly.
After a while, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang also received their meat and came to Zhou Ziwen to join them.
"Brother Zhou, we didn't get any pork belly, only two pieces of pork belly." Shen Zhaodi said.
"It's okay. The front shank meat is also very good. The fatty ones can be braised, and the lean ones can be stir-fried into shredded pork. You can also make boiled pork slices. This is your family's hometown dish." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Brother Zhou, are you going to cook for us yourself?" Chen Zhaodi's eyes lit up, her face full of anticipation.
"What's wrong? Are the dishes cooked by your sister Shiying not delicious?" Zhou Ziwen raised his eyebrows and asked with a wicked smile.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhaodi's heart skipped a beat. When she turned her head, she met Chen Shiying's gloomy gaze.
"Sister Shiying, no, that's not what I meant..." Shen Zhaodi explained anxiously, and at the end she glared at Zhou Ziwen resentfully.
"Haha!" Zhou Ziwen laughed out loud when he saw this funny scene.
After getting the meat, Zhou Ziwen went home with them.
Today is a happy day. Not only is the village slaughtering pigs and distributing the meat, but it is also the day when the sixth AFK position on the AFK panel is opened.
The last hour of every month is when Zhou Ziwen is happiest.
Just like paying salaries at the end of the month, he would open an idle slot every month.
In other words, he has been in this era for too short a time. If he had come a few years earlier, he would have mastered many skills to the maximum level.
Everyone was very happy to get the pork.
Along the way, Shen Zhaodi and the Chen sisters chattered with bright smiles on their faces. Under their influence, Zhou Ziwen also smiled unconsciously.
After returning home, Chen Shiying put the ribs she was given outside to freeze.
In this weather, if you leave the meat outside, it will freeze quickly, which is more convenient than a refrigerator.
Zhou Ziwen didn't go anywhere for the next day. After lunch, he and the Chen sisters made lanterns together, and then lay on the kang to rest.
In the afternoon, Chen Zhaodi was bored and was planning to come over to play.
As a result, when she saw Zhou Ziwen was resting, she simply called the two sisters to her house so as not to disturb him.
When he woke up, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi were already cooking.
"Brother Ziwen, you're awake!"
When she saw Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi smiled brightly.
"Well, I had a good sleep. What did you do in the afternoon? Why didn't I see you?" Zhou Ziwen asked while washing his face after getting some hot water.
"We were playing cards at Zhaodi's house." Chen Qiaoyi answered.
"Haha, this weather is really suitable for playing cards." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
During this period, no one wants to go out and stays at home if possible.
I lie on the kang every day and my bones are almost soft.
But things will get busy after today.
New Year's Eve is just two days away, and they have to start preparing for the New Year.
Foods like fried meatballs, fried rice cakes, steamed flower rolls, and steamed bean buns are all foods that need to be prepared for the Chinese New Year.
Only when we are busy can we feel the New Year atmosphere.
