At the gate of the courtyard, Xiong Yuan carefully handed the slightly heavy cloth bag to Yan Mingli, with sincerity and trust in his eyes.
Yan Mingli took the bag, weighed it, and felt the heavy weight through his palm. It was at least ten pounds of meat.
He had an idea in his mind: this Xiong Yuan is quite smart, and he can be knocked out of his wits with just three sticks.
"Wait a moment." He whispered, then turned around and carried the cloth bag into the kitchen.
Mo Yutong raised his head from the round stool, a hint of curiosity flashed in his clear eyes, but he did not ask.
After a while, Yan Mingli walked out of the kitchen and saw the three people about to pick up the bag of chestnuts. He hurried over to stop them, took the bag from them, and replaced it with Lily.
"Chestnut balls are prickly, be careful not to get pricked! Let me handle it." Yan Mingli said in a gentle tone.
"Okay!" Mo Yutong smiled sweetly, and sat down next to the winnowing basket with the children and started peeling lilies.
Yan Mingli brought the cloth bag to the door and said to Xiong Yuan, "This is yours."
The mouth of the cloth bag was slightly open, revealing the shiny fat meat inside, which weighed at least five or six pounds.
Xiong Yuan took a glance and felt the surging heat in his heart about to burst out.
Is this for me? Boss Yan actually left the inferior lean meat and gave all the first-class fat meat to himself!
For a moment, I was filled with emotion, even my eyes turned slightly red, and I almost cried out loud on the spot.
Boss Yan is indeed his benefactor. Just because of how he takes care of himself, there is nothing else to say. He must be loyal to him in the future.
Looking at his eyes sparkling with crystal light, Yan Mingli was puzzled.
He just left it because he saw that the little girl liked to eat lean meat, and it had nothing to do with Xiong Yuan. He had no idea that Xiong Yuan would misunderstand him like this.
Xiong Yuan, who was too sentimental, was actually very happy at this moment. He took out a cloth bag from his crotch and handed a large bundle of money inside to Yan Mingli.
"The purchase price Yang Feng directly gave me was 90 cents per pound, a total of 231 pounds. I kept 20 pounds of second-grade meat and used the price of one yuan. Here is 187.9 yuan." Xiong Yuan said as he handed the money to Yan Mingli.
Yan Mingli took the money, counted it, and then took out some and handed it to Xiong Yuan: "This time we can be considered to have picked up a bargain. Here is sixty-one yuan and ninety cents, you keep it. Yang Feng and I will each take sixty-three yuan from the rest."
Everyone bears the risk, and no one contributes more or less.
If we want to develop steadily and long-term, we must try our best to be fair and not let anyone feel that they have suffered a great loss.
Xiong Yuan took the money and stuffed it neatly into his crotch. Thinking of what he had heard, he couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Boss Yan, we saw that thing this morning..."
"Do you have any ideas?" Yan Mingli looked at him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Could it be that he wanted to get his hands on that thing too?
"Not really." Xiong Yuan looked around warily, then whispered, "I heard from Li Meng from Team 6 that there was someone missing from the militia patrol yesterday."
"Who?" Yan Mingli frowned and asked.
"Cui Shengli from Team 2." Xiong Yuan answered in a low voice.
Yan Mingli's pupils shrank. Could it be that Cui Shengli had lent Nie Xiaofeng his gun? After all, militiamen could take their guns home; they only needed to register and maintain them at the brigade headquarters once a month.
However, he felt that the matter was not that simple, and the involvement of the Nie family made it even more thought-provoking. That was a semi-automatic rifle only available to the grassroots militia.
"You keep an eye on this matter." He said in a deep voice, a serious look in his eyes.
"Okay!" Xiong Yuan responded immediately, almost patting his chest to make a promise.
He understood what Yan Mingli meant, which meant that he trusted himself even more.
He knew that it was worth following Boss Yan, not only could he get a lot of fat meat, but he could also gain great unity!
After saying hello, Xiong Yuan, who was very happy, walked home happily carrying the five kilograms of fat meat.
Such a big piece of meat can be used to make a big bowl of lard and a big bowl of fried oil residue.
I'll cut some cabbage from the ground later. It's a delicious cabbage with oil residue, it's so delicious that it makes people drool.
By the way, Mr. Yan’s family doesn’t have a private plot of land, so he has to cook more vegetables and send some to his family when they are grown.
After all, since others trust me so much, I have to show my appreciation.
Xiong Yuan thought to himself, and his steps became lighter.
Yan Mingli returned to the yard, sat back on the stool and began to pick the lilies.
After just a short while, Mo Yutong said softly, "It's getting late, you should go to work. We can handle these things."
"I'll take care of this, there's still time!" Yan Mingli quickened his movements and glanced at her slightly.
Mo Yutong stood up and patted the mud off his hands, then walked to the washbasin rack to wash his hands, and then walked into the bedroom.
She took out the kettle from the wooden cabinet and prepared to fill it with sugar and salt water for him. To save trouble, she did not go to the kitchen, but directly poured it in from the space.
Yan Mingli, who followed in closely, looked at the little girl who had become deeply integrated into his life, and countless ripples appeared in his heart.
"Don't send me anything this afternoon." He took the kettle from her hand and said softly.
Mo Yutong looked up at him, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, obviously unhappy! Humph! She said it as if she was lucky enough to give it to him.
"I'm worried that you'll get hot. It's not as cool in the fields as at home!" Seeing the little girl pouting, Yan Mingli quickly explained.
"I'm not mad at you, no need to explain." How could she really be mad at him? Besides, she didn't have a very bad temper!
