Cheng Yunan didn't look for anyone else, just the aunt from the Zhao family.
She heard it clearly just now and knew that she was short of meat at the moment.
Cheng Yunan did not rush to the door. After all, she did not know the other party's character well. She was afraid that if she barged in like this, they would kidnap her at home.
If we then sue her for speculation, that would be really bad.
Cheng Yunan went to ask the strange aunt first, "Hello, Auntie, I heard that there is a family named Zhao here, working in a textile factory. I am Uncle Zhao's distant cousin, my last name is Yu, and I am here today to recognize my relatives."
"Recognize your relationship? What is your relationship with the Zhao family?"
It's a textile factory and the owner's surname is Zhao. There are only five families living here.
However, the only family that fits her middle age is the Zhao family.
Is this really Zhao Xiao's cousin? Why is he so... dark!
Really! She had seen people in the countryside before, but none of them could be as ugly as this one. She was almost confused.
Especially when she opens her mouth to show her big white lips, my god, even charcoal is not as black as her.
"Auntie, my grandfather and my uncle Zhao's father are brothers. There was a flood in our home that year, and my second grandfather was washed away by the flood. My grandfather has been looking for the second grandfather for many years. Now he is very sick and keeps asking us to find him.
A few days ago, an old man from our village came to the provincial capital and met Uncle Zhao. Because Uncle Zhao looked so much like my grandpa, he recognized him at first sight.
My grandfather got the news and asked me to inquire about it, and I have been inquiring all the way here."
"Oh, good girl, I'll take you to find your uncle Zhao." The kind-hearted aunt led her to the gate of Zhao's courtyard.
They used to live in low-rise houses, and later the factory allocated them tube-shaped buildings, but they couldn't get used to them, so they just stayed here.
"Old Zhao, old Zhao, open the door. Your family has relatives coming to visit!"
Aunt Zhao was framed for nothing, and when she came out and saw that it was just a piece of charcoal, she frowned.
She has never seen this before.
"Aunt Zhao, I'm Xiao Yu. I'm here to look for my uncle Zhao. My grandfather specially asked me to bring something here."
Putting the backpack on the ground, a corner of the pork belly with alternating fat and lean parts was exposed, which immediately attracted Aunt Zhao's attention. Then, she looked at Cheng Yunan with extremely eager eyes.
These days, every family has a few unfamiliar relatives visiting the house.
Cheng Yunan was invited into the house, and the gate was locked tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would break in.
But Cheng Yunan was not afraid of the other party locking the door.
The reason why she made up a story out of nothing was to let everyone know that she had entered the Zhao family, and she was not afraid that the other party would dare to report it. After all, they were still "relatives" now.
With this arrangement, Cheng Yunan felt much more at ease with the Zhao family.
As soon as she entered the room, Aunt Zhao asked her what her name was.
"Auntie, everyone likes to call me Hei Pang, so just call me Hei Pang."
Aunt Zhao saw that Cheng Yunan's heart was burning with passion, and her eyes glanced at the basket behind her.
Meat!
She just saw it, a large piece of pork belly.
But this guy is really bold, he even dares to come in and sell it.
"Hei Pang, is that all meat on your back? Take it out and show it to Auntie."
"Auntie, let's make it clear in advance. I don't need a ticket for this meat. Right now, the price is 30 cents more expensive than the meat in the supply and marketing cooperative. If you agree, I will give it to you. If you don't accept it, we can still be considered acquainted. We may have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
Aunt Zhao nodded and agreed without even thinking.
This is nonsense. The pork at the supply and marketing cooperative costs 75 cents a pound and requires a meat ticket. Hers doesn't require a meat ticket and costs 0.3 cents more, just one dollar and five cents a pound, which is 1 cent cheaper than the black market price. She must be crazy to refuse.
"Okay, take it out and let me see it. If it's suitable for us, then we can do business!" Aunt Zhao nodded.
Cheng Yunan took out three large pieces of pork from the basket on his back.
This pork is really big, one piece weighs ten pounds, a total of thirty pounds, one piece of fat and lean pork belly, and two pieces with big fat, which makes Aunt Zhao's eyes light up.
They haven't seen so much meat in one go for years. If they keep it all at home...
The fat is enough to feed their family for half a year. I can steam several pots of meat with the fat residue and lean meat.
Oh, the more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes. The way Aunt Zhao looks at Cheng Yunan is so affectionate.
So she stopped being anxious, pulled him to the table, and poured him a bowl of brown sugar water. "Heipang, you are such a capable kid. I can't eat all this meat. I'll go get you some more meat later so you don't have to run around. It's risky and troublesome, right?"
Cheng Yunan looked at her and said, "Auntie, I feel relieved if you say so."
Aunt Zhao: “…” She was at a loss for words.
"Auntie, I understand what you mean. I worked so hard to get this meat, and I really didn't earn much. How about this? I'll give you another 5 cents off, and keep all the meat for you. I don't care what you want to do with it, I just take the money and leave. How is that?"
Aunt Zhao was so happy that she smiled from ear to ear.
So what? It's great.
The best pork is only one dollar per pound and no ticket is required. It's so delicious.
Aunt Zhao was straightforward. Since everything had been said clearly, she did not hesitate any longer and went straight back to the house to get the money.
"Come on, Heipang, let's quickly weigh the meat and sell it for the price you said. But Heipang, you are an honest boy. If you have such a good thing in the future, just come to me. I promise to make it all right for you."
There are seven children in his family, and they cannot be supported by the old man alone, so she did a lot of private work.
Her three little ones followed her on the ride, and although it was only temporary, they could earn some money by delivering things to the people around them, so Aunt Zhao was considered an expert at doing this privately.
Cheng Yunan was also straightforward, scratching his head and giggling a few times, with the words of honesty and simplicity on his face, "Auntie, luckily I still have a batch of eggs in my hand, look..."
Although eggs are not as cute as pork, they are also good things.
"Okay, Auntie will be home next day. You can come back after six o'clock. Auntie, there is a road here, so you don't have to worry about the things falling on your hands. Let's trade behind the supply and marketing cooperative. How about that?"
Six o'clock is the time to get off work. The walls here in the family compound are too big, and it would be too conspicuous for Heipang to come here.
"Okay, I'll come back next time." Cheng Yunan took the money, packed up his backpack and was about to leave. Before leaving, he reminded Aunt Zhao to be careful and not to get herself into trouble.
Ms. Zhao used to be very careful when selling goods. She only had a few close neighbors and her own relatives and friends, so she had good connections in this area.
"Don't worry, Auntie has lived for so many years, she knows what's going on. But you have to be careful too. Things are tense these days, don't go to the black market again."
Aunt Zhao: We finally found the 껗 family, we can’t let it go, and besides, she was also betrayed.
Although this is unlikely.
