Chapter 1095: As Bustling as the New Year (Part 2)
After more than two hours, all the wild boars were killed. The captain walked up to the platform and said to everyone, "After everyone's hard work last night, we have eliminated the wild boars that came down the mountain to destroy the food. This is something to be happy about.
There is something else that will make you even happier. I think you have already guessed it. Yes, it is just as you thought, dividing the meat.
But there is one thing I want to make clear to you first, that is, everyone who participated in the wild boar hunting yesterday can get an extra pound of meat, and before the wild boar hunting yesterday, Comrade Lu Xiaoxiao came up with a very good idea, which allowed us to hunt the wild boar so smoothly, so the village decided to reward Comrade Lu Xiaoxiao with five pounds of pork, do you have any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads after hearing the captain's words. They had heard from the people who went hunting wild boars this morning about what happened last night. If it weren't for Lu Xiaoxiao's idea, their family members might have been injured while hunting wild boars. So not only did they have no objection to the village giving Lu Xiaoxiao an extra five kilograms of pork, they were also very grateful to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Since you have no objection, let's start distributing the meat. In addition to the meat rewarded to those who hunted wild boars last night, each household in the village can get six pounds of meat, and each educated youth can get one pound. The rest will be cooked into a big pot of rice."
"Xiaoxiao, did you hear that? Each family can get six kilograms of meat. If we eat this meat sparingly, it will be enough for our family to eat for a year."
"Yeah, I heard it."
"It would be great if wild boars came down from the mountains every month, and the village wouldn't have to worry about meat."
"You wishful thinking, where do all those wild boars come from in the mountains?"
"That's true."
"Second sister, if you want to eat meat every day, I think you can ask your father to buy all 18 pig heads."
"Xiaoxiao, thank you for your reminder. How could I have forgotten about this? I'll go find him now." After Liu Ermei finished speaking, she went to find Liu Pingjiang.
When Liu Ermei found Liu Pingjiang, she said to him, "Dad, when the meat is distributed, go buy all the pig heads, so that our family won't be short of meat to eat."
"I'll go ask the captain if he wants to sell the pig head. If he does, I'll buy it."
"good."
After waiting in line for more than an hour, it was finally her turn to get the meat. She took a look at the meat on the chopping board and said to the captain, "Captain, can I not have the meat, but only the ribs and pig's trotters?"
"Okay, no one wants the two things you want, so I'll just give you ten pig's trotters and four ribs."
"Thank you, Captain, but can you please leave the things here first? I need to go home and get a basket to put them in."
"Can."
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao found a larger basket, then carried the basket on her back and walked towards the threshing ground.
"Uncle, could you please help me chop off the pig's trotters and ribs?" Lu Xiaoxiao said to the person who was dividing the meat after she arrived at the place where the meat was being divided.
"Sure. Now that the meat has been divided, I have plenty of time."
"Thank you, uncle."
"Captain, I have something to ask you." Liu Ermei came to Lu Xiaoxiao and said to the captain.
"What's up?"
"I want to ask if you want to sell the wild boar's head?"
After hearing what Liu Ermei said, the captain thought that the hair of a wild boar's head was more difficult to deal with than that of a domestic pig's head. He was just having trouble with those dozen pig heads, and now someone came to him to solve the problem, so he naturally would not refuse.
