"Then take a look at what kind of meat you want, and I'll sell it to you at a lower price."
"Great, thank you. Where's Xiuqin?"
"Cooking in the kitchen!"
Chen Wang nodded towards the kitchen.
Just then, Lin Xiuqin and a little girl carrying a plate of food came out. After seeing their good sisters over there, they waved with bright smiles.
"Xiuqin, I came to buy some meat. Your Awang and Dazhuang are really capable. They killed so many wild boars in a short time."
The woman said with an envious smile.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and walked over.
"Wife, give your sister a discount, just 80 cents a pound and sell it to her!"
Chen Wang said with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin turned her head to look at him and nodded with a smile.
"Great, I won't hesitate to buy some more for the New Year."
The woman said with a joyful look on her face.
"You can buy as much as you want, but just don't tell anyone. I sell them to others for one yuan per pound."
"I understand. Don't worry, Awang. I won't say a word more."
"You guys chat."
Chen Wang smiled and turned to go into the house.
After coaxing the little one to sleep in the room, I walked out and saw the little girl holding three sets of bowls and chopsticks and putting them on the table.
"Brother, please go get the food. I'm afraid of the heat!"
The little girl looked at him and said.
"Okay, I'll go make dinner."
Chen Wang smiled and nodded, then quickly went to the kitchen.
When he brought the rice to the main room, Lin Xiuqin had just seen her little sister off. After washing her hands at the well, she came over and sat down to eat with them.
"Wife, I think you sold almost half a pig today?"
Chen Wang put a piece of food in her bowl with chopsticks and asked casually.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded.
Chen Wang ate a big mouthful of rice with the vegetables and said, "Then I won't take it to the town to sell. There will definitely be villagers coming to buy it in the next two days. I'll pickle the rest and then send some to your family and your sister."
Lin Xiuqin nodded with a smile and put a large piece of meat into his bowl.
How could she not be happy that her husband cared so much about her family and would never forget any good things!
After dinner, Chen Wang accompanied his wife to wash and clean up the dishes, and then moved the wild boar meat to the kitchen.
While I was busy, someone else came to buy meat.
Unexpectedly, it was the little girl’s good friend Erniu.
Erniu took the money her father gave her to buy meat, saying she wanted to buy ten pounds of pork belly.
Chen Wang also charged her 80 cents per pound, which made Erniu thank him repeatedly with gratitude.
"Can you take it? It's quite heavy. How about I bring it to you?"
"No, no, I can take it."
Erniu held ten pounds of pork belly and shook her head in panic.
"Okay, then be careful on the road and go back quickly!"
"Yeah, well, I'm leaving."
"Erniu, I'll take you there."
The little girl smiled sweetly and sent her out.
…
…
In the following few days, just as Chen Wang had guessed, many villagers came to his house to buy meat.
The wild boar meat from Chen Dazhuang was sold out very quickly. The villagers who hadn't bought any yet heard that Chen Wang also had some, so they came to his house to buy meat.
It is already mid-November. Most of the villagers make a living by farming, and they have already earned all the money they should have earned in the year.
The Chinese New Year is just around the corner in two or three months, and we have to buy meat anyway. Since there is cheap and fresh wild boar meat now, of course everyone is willing to buy more.
Most families raise pigs, but they still have to pay New Year pigs to the state.
A lot of wild boar meat was caught this time, and there were also many people in the village, and almost all of them bought more than five kilograms, and many even bought ten or twenty kilograms directly.
As a result, no matter how much wild boar meat there is, it will not be enough to sell.
After Chen Wang's family sold almost two wild boars, they refused to sell the remaining one.
Lin Xiuqin kept a small amount of fresh meat in the refrigerator. After cutting up the rest, she marinated it with salt and hung it on the beams to let the smoke from the stove slowly smoke it into bacon.
I spent a few days leisurely at home.
Until the village chief came and asked him about the cultivation of medicinal herbs and urged him to go to the town to ask about the seedlings.
Chen Wang was helpless and said that no matter how anxious he was, it was already winter this year and it was impossible to plant!
The village chief said that this matter had to be arranged in advance, and it would be a good opportunity to promote it during the winter so that the villagers would know the benefits of growing medicinal herbs, and it would be implemented in the spring of next year.
Chen Wang had no choice but to ride his bicycle to the town.
I just happened to send some wild boar meat and two wild boar stomachs to Xu Tiancheng.
Xu Tiancheng invited him to have dinner at his home.
After hearing about how they hunted wild boars in the mountains, both the Xu family's father and daughter were surprised.
Afterwards, Chen Wang brought up the issue of seedlings again.
"I've already inquired about this for you. There's no way to get Gastrodia elata, but you can get Coptis chinensis and Honeysuckle seedlings."
"Great, two are enough."
"But the earliest they will deliver the seedlings is next March."
"I see. This is because the village chief was too impatient and had to urge me to come and ask for clarification."
Chen Wang smiled helplessly and shrugged.
"As it should be. Your village chief is a pragmatic cadre."
Xu Tiancheng smiled and nodded, then picked up the wine glass.
Chen Wang hurriedly raised his glass and clinked it with his, saying gratefully, "Uncle, thank you in advance."
"Tsk, look, you're starting over again."
Xu Tiancheng glared at him unhappily.
"Okay, it's my fault. I'll drink first as a token of my respect!"
Chen Wang admitted his mistake with a helpless look, and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Xu Tiancheng also drank the wine in his glass and reminded him, "When you go back, discuss with your village chief to see how many seeds of these two medicinal herbs are needed. Tell me as soon as you can so that I can notify them and have them deliver them next spring."
"Understood. I'll tell the village chief when I get back."
Chen Wang nodded seriously.
"Can you guys drink slower? This bottle is almost gone."
Xu Meijuan complained while pouring wine for the two of them.
"Hahaha... With the alcohol tolerance of Awang and I, one bottle is not enough. Go get us another bottle."
Xu Tiancheng said with a smile.
Xu Meijuan frowned and looked at Chen Wang.
"Um...Uncle, why don't we forget it? You still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative this afternoon, right?"
"What are you afraid of? This little bit of alcohol won't have any effect."
"I have to ride back. I'm afraid I'll fall asleep in a field if I drink too much."
"Alright, alright, let's just finish this. Awang, you still need to practice your drinking capacity!"
"Yes, yes, my drinking capacity is quite good in our village, but it is still far behind your uncle."
Chen Wang smiled and flattered him.
"Hahaha……"
Xu Tiancheng laughed heartily.
Chen Wang glanced at Comrade Xiao Xu and saw that she gave him a look that said "you better know what's best for you".
