Chapter 26
Chen Qingyi, the butcher, volunteered and made all kinds of promises. She talked her mouth off before Zhao Xiangmei agreed to let her sell the meat.
If she doesn't come, what will happen to the wild boar meat hidden in the space?
As for the good things produced in the space, we will talk about it later. There is not enough time.
She also wanted to go home early and have stewed meat for lunch!
Secondly, she didn't understand the black market in the commune and didn't know how deep it was, so she wanted to observe first.
Normally, when members of the cooperative sell wild vegetables or something, the higher-ups turn a blind eye.
If we catch them, at most we’ll confiscate their scales and give them a few words of advice.
But selling meat...
There is no surveillance in this era, but that doesn’t mean people are stupid.
Their eyes are so poisonous!
Third, she still wanted to sell it in the county where the price would be higher.
The black market is easy to find. It is right next to the wall on the south side of the railway. The wall is very high and there is a small gap.
There was a tall and strong man guarding it.
Chen Qingyi didn't even recognize her mother, who had dressed her up in the space, so she went to the black market.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The voice was serious and he stared at Chen Qingyi closely.
"Sell!" She didn't say another word because she really didn't have Chen Qingbai's skills.
If it was an old lady who spoke with the voice of a little girl, wouldn't you be scared?
"Two cents." The man looked up and down with an expressionless face, then stretched out his big hand like a palm-leaf fan.
After paying the money, I successfully entered the black market. I didn't expect that the small commune black market was so lively.
There are quite a few people.
There just doesn't seem to be much good stuff.
Most of the people were selling vegetables and mushrooms. There were two people selling eggs and one person selling woven baskets.
Then there was a man selling matches in the corner. He had a small pile of matches and a small piece of floral cloth next to it.
She found a spacious place and took out the wild boar meat from the basket on her back.
Separate the fat, pork belly, and lean meat.
People who were shopping in the black market swarmed over instantly, their eyes as bright as wolves.
An old lady, carrying a clay basket and wearing a plaid scarf on her head, wearing clothes that were torn but not patched, was the fastest to move things around with her short legs.
"Sister, how much do you sell this meat for?"
The meat looked good and fresh, but it looked like wild boar.
Wild boar meat has a strong fishy smell and is not as delicious as domestically raised ones, but there is nothing we can do about it.
There are only so many meat coupons in a month, and there is no oil or water at home.
Especially the eldest grandson, he couldn't eat because of the summer heat and became thin due to hunger, which made her feel very distressed.
I wanted to try my luck at the black market, bought some meat, and went home to make dumplings and braised pork.
Chen Qingyi cleared her throat and tried to lower her voice, "I don't have any tickets, the fattest one is 1.2 yuan, and the fattest one is 1 yuan.
Skinny as a bastard.
Tickets are 1 cent cheaper, any ticket will do."
Her price is very cheap. The good meat sold by the government is only 75 cents, and the cheap one is only 60 cents!
The black market price is usually double that.
The old lady was obviously familiar with the market, and without bargaining, she took out two dollars and four cents and said briskly:
"Give me two pounds of the fattest one."
"Big sister, take your pick. Just take whichever one you like. Each one weighs exactly one pound."
"It was weighed before I came."
"Don't worry, we are not short of scales and can't do such immoral things." Chen Qingyi was very honest.
"Okay!" Seeing that she was sincere, the old lady picked two with confidence, held them in her hands as a cushion, and walked away hurriedly with a happy face.
"Auntie, this is wild boar meat, can you make it cheaper?"
A short man wearing black-framed glasses and holding a bag came up and started bargaining.
Chen Qingyi drooped her eyelids and didn't even glance at him, "No, wild boars are the fattest this month.
Look at this fat.
The best ones are three fingers wide, and you can’t buy such good meat anywhere else.
Besides, is there anyone else selling meat here besides me?"
They don't even understand the principle that scarcity makes things valuable.
The man wanted to say a few more words, but was rudely pushed away by the old man behind him.
"Big sister, the fattest one, five pounds."
The old man is a rich man and is very generous.
Chen Qingyi took the money and counted it with a smile, "Just right!"
Seeing that the old man bought so much, the others became anxious, fearing that they would not be able to buy good ones in the end, so they handed over their money and took the meat themselves.
Worried that she wouldn't have time to find the change, he thoughtfully gave her just the right amount.
The fat meat was gone in seconds.
The pork belly was gone in less than two minutes.
In the end, there was no lean meat left, but it’s better to have some than nothing.
The man who was bargaining was also quick to grab a piece of pork belly and a piece of lean meat.
He was still cursing as he left.
Chen Qingyi didn't care about him. She didn't know who to blame for her hesitation. She just stuffed the money into her pocket, took the basket, and walked away.
Feeling that no one was following him, he found a secluded place and slipped into the space.
She wanted to change her outfit and continue selling the remaining wild boar meat.
This time he dressed himself up as a little boy.
I found a wig from the space, drew thick eyebrows, painted my face and neck black, and changed into a pair of size 40 shoes.
Her thirty-six feet don't look like a boy's.
I was afraid that they wouldn’t fit my feet, so I specially chose a pair of Liberation shoes that could be laced up.
I stuffed some toilet paper in front of my feet.
After everything was ready, he put another 100 kilograms of wild boar meat into the basket and walked towards the family quarters of the forest farm.
"unlucky!"
Chen Qingyi rolled her eyes. She met love at the corner. It was the old woman Xiang Hong.
Ouch, ouch, isn’t the guy with his head drooping at the back your sweetheart, Chen Changhai?
Is he being scolded by his daughter-in-law as if he were his grandson?
Looking at Xiang Hong's mouth opening and closing, Chen Qingyi suddenly felt that there was something interesting to watch.
Suddenly, he became full of energy, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. The bird quietly approached and followed him not far away.
Then Xiang Hong lowered her voice and said with a cold expression, "Chen Changhai, do your family members treat me as a fool?
Do you think I'm easy to fool?
It was lost. So much money, just lost like that?
Why don’t I believe it?
Country people are country people, they are not good at getting things done.
If you don't want to lend it, then don't lend it. Why are you making up such a disgusting excuse? It's not like we won't pay it back.
Buying a house is a serious matter, and you may not come across such a good house in several years.
We are a family, what's wrong with helping each other?
It’s better not to have such a husband’s family.
I rely on my parents' family for everything. I can't even raise my head in front of my sister-in-law.
And the family division, why don't you have a share? Why don't you fight for it? You are also a son and you have to support your parents in their old age."
Xiang Hong became more and more excited as she spoke, her chest heaving with anger, thinking about how her man had gone home yesterday and hadn't brought back the money.
I also lost more than ten dollars.
I feel suffocated just thinking about it, and I can’t contain the anger in my heart.
Pointing to Chen Changhai, who was walking aside with his head down and not making any excuses, he continued, "Speak up, are you still going to buy this house?
If you don’t want to buy, just give it to others so that they can sell it to others.”
"Buy it!" Chen Changhai said decisively.
"What are you buying?"
Xiang Hong rolled her eyes angrily, "I'm telling you, asking me to go back to my parents' house to borrow money is impossible."
"Honghong, we have 500 yuan, so I can go to the company and get an advance of three months' salary.
You also took three months' advance.
When I came back, my mother gave me a hundred yuan, which was enough for me.
Chen Changbo looked flattering.
He quietly pulled her little hand and rubbed it, "Don't be angry, don't make the child upset.
The most important thing is not to get mad at you!"
Chen Qingyi's eyes almost popped out. Her uncle was really good at it. Look at how her aunt smiled immediately.
But her grandma gave her a hundred yuan?
He gave almost all of the small amount of money to his son. He really loves his son.
Since the family has been divided, she doesn't care.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard Xiang Hong speak again.
She was also mentioned.
