Chapter 333 Lu Miao, the Stubborn Girl
Fu Jingyou considered Lu Miao's words and nodded, "Okay."
Then he turned to the people watching the excitement at the door and said,
"The pigs are fat this year. If you want to buy them, I'll sell them to you!"
"The price of pork at the butcher shop outside has gone up to 75 cents per catty, and I don't want that much from everyone else! 72 cents for those with tickets, and one dollar for those without."
"If you guys want some, I'll cut off the ones you want to keep first. For the rest, you can cut wherever you point."
It is equivalent to those who have tickets giving up three cents.
Those who didn't have tickets gave two to four cents.
The price of pork on the black market is one dollar and two to one dollar and four per pound.
The Fu family’s pigs are fat and the meat is good.
If this meat is taken to the black market, it will cost at least one dollar and fifty cents per pound.
We are all fellow villagers, and Fu Jingyou really didn't intend to make money from us.
The villagers are not fools, they don’t understand this.
Several people shouted "good" on the spot, saying that Fu Jingyou was very honest.
Fu Jingyou didn't take it to heart.
Now I have a wife and a baby,
He just hopes that his life can be smooth, safe and stable. If it is not necessary, he does not advocate going to the black market.
Fu Jingyou kept the lard and the belly fat and pork belly.
Lu Miao didn't like eating fatty meat, so he left some of the relatively well-proportioned parts of the pig's front and hind legs, where fat and lean meat alternated.
According to Lu Miao, the tenderloin is the most tender and can be kept for baby food, so Fu Jingyou kept the tenderloin as well.
I don’t have many opportunities to eat meat in my daily life, except that this year I raised my own pigs and I can choose them myself.
No one knew what was going on in Beijing, so Fu Jingyou estimated and decided to keep some belly fat, pork belly and hind leg meat for the bacon.
All sorts of things filled up a heavy basin, with nearly 70 kilograms of meat left.
A small part was cut off from each pig.
The villagers originally thought that Fu Jingyou wanted to remove all the fat from the pig for his own consumption, and were hesitating whether to buy it or not!
Seeing that he really only selected a part, everyone felt relieved instantly.
"Xiao Liu, are the remaining ones for sale?"
"yes."
Fu Jingyou nodded.
Just leave this much for now. Once all the members have bought it, there will definitely be some left.
Don't be in a hurry.
The entrance to the Fu family suddenly became crowded and noisy.
"Cut it for me, cut it for me first! I want this piece! Cut it from the pig's belly to the pig's back, two fingers wide!"
"I'll go first, I'll go first! I want two, cut from the pig's belly to the pig's back! This piece, and this piece, this part is more expensive!"
The meat is so good that it can’t resist the enthusiasm of the crowd.
There were so many people that the door where the pork was placed was almost knocked over.
He Hongjin immediately pressed the door panel and started cursing:
"Damn you! Learn some manners! Get in line for me!"
The team leader spoke and the members dared not disobey. They were anxious and hesitant, scratching their heads and had to line up.
In the past, He Hongjin only treated Fu Jingyou as a child and only let him help him when slaughtering pigs.
Now Fu Jingyou is the father of two children, so He Hongjin let him hold the knife himself when slaughtering the pig this time.
When cutting the meat, Fu Jingyou was in charge of cutting with the knife, while He Hongjin was responsible for weighing it.
Lu Miao replaced the original horse scorer and kept records with a notebook.
After He Hongjin weighed out a portion of meat, he tilted his head and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Stubborn girl, from He Lao Si's family, three pounds and two ounces!"
"Ma Zhichun, it's the Tianzao family, the five pounds of Tianzao family!"
"Did you remember it? Stubborn girl, this is a pound from your sister-in-law Huazhi."
"I remember, I remember!"
"A set of pig hearts and lungs. Oh my... these hearts and lungs are quite heavy, weighing a total of eight pounds and seven ounces!"
Pig hearts and lungs cannot be sold at a high price, but they are in great demand. Zaohua Niang had set her eyes on them early in the morning. Fu Jingyou noticed them and put them in a basket, not taking them out for the time being.
It was Zaohua's mother's turn. Fu Jingyou asked, and Zaohua's mother said yes. Fu Jingyou then took out a whole set of pig heart and lungs and asked He Hongjin to weigh it.
He Hongjin set the weight and showed it to Zaohua Niang:
"Mother Zaohua, this is 30 cents a pound, no ticket required, is that okay?"
Zaohua Niang wiped the messy hair on her forehead and nodded:
"OK."
He Hongjin yelled, "Stubborn girl, your Aunt Zaohua has a pair of pig hearts and lungs, three cents a pound, a total of eight pounds and seven ounces. No tickets required, so remember this carefully!"
"knew."
Lu Miao nodded and wrote down eight kilograms in the notebook.
The other side.
Fu Jingyou put the pig's heart and lungs into Zaohua Niang's basket, and cut off a palm-sized piece of fat and threw it in.
Zaohua's mother looked up at Fu Jingyou.
Fu Jingyou lowered his head and rubbed the meat-cutting knife in his hand, making a clanging sound.
"Next."
“…”
After being busy all morning, Lu Miao didn't seem tired, but his ears were almost ringing from He Hongjin's constant shouting.
It’s almost enough for one pig to share the melon.
He Hongjin's leg was still lame and had not fully recovered, so Lu Miao privately asked Fu Jingyou to keep the bone.
Like replenishes like, bone soup is high in calcium, and it can be used as a calcium supplement for older people.
Fu Jingyou kept the bones as well.
In a whole pig, apart from the part reserved for the family, there is still a lot of lean meat and ribs left, which no one wants.
The year was bad, and everyone wanted something fat, but Lu Miao was different.
This result was exactly what she wanted.
The people in front of the door gradually dispersed. Chen Guifen put out the fire in the earthen stove, waited for the pot to cool down, and then began to dismantle the pot and move it to the kitchen.
The Fu family kitchen was busy preparing a simple pig-killing dish.
The fragrance gradually wafted away, and the educated youth felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so they said goodbye to Lu Miao and headed back to the educated youth site.
It was usually okay for Lu Miao to invite them to dinner, as He Hongjin and Chen Guifen were both there. But how could Gu Ying, Geng Xiaoyun and the others feel comfortable doing that?
They walked very fast.
Lu Miao shook his head.
After Fu Jingyou cleaned the door and came back after washing up, she asked Fu Jingyou to look after the child and she picked up a basket and went to the kitchen.
Chen Guifen was busy in the kitchen. Seeing Lu Miao looking at the meat in the basin, Chen Guifen asked:
"What are you looking for? It's all oil. Don't move. I'll take care of it."
"Geng Zhiqing has been running around in front of the door for most of the day, and Gu Zhiqing and the others are helping to take care of the children."
Lu Miao didn't hide it and said directly:
"They don't usually have access to meat, they live far from home and don't have much money, so I thought I'd give them some meat as a token of my gratitude."
"Thank you."
Chen Guifen picked up a piece of meat from the basin and said:
"How about this? I cut it in half?"
The meat in the basin is reserved for our family and contains only the best quality meat.
Lu Miao looked at the piece of meat and estimated it was about four or five pounds. If cut in half, it would still be two pounds. He nodded:
"Yes, auntie."
Thinking about it, he said:
"I heard that the pig blood at home was mixed with Geng Zhiqing's? Is it in a clot? Can you give me some too?"
Chen Guifen smiled and said, "You came just in time. I just blanched it."
Chen Guifen put a piece of pork into the basket.
Geng Xiaoyun is a capable person who can do any job.
She successfully mixed the pig's blood, and there were only a few bubbles in the large basin of blood.
