"Wife, have you never seen the sharing of meat?" The two chatted as they walked.
Jiang Qingwu had indeed never seen the distribution of meat. Before, because she married Zhou Yunzhou and had misunderstandings about him, she acted very stupid every day and rarely went out. She would never attend scenes like the distribution of meat where the villagers gathered.
"No, it's probably quite lively."
Zhou Yunzhou replied, "Usually when the meat and grain are distributed, everyone in the village is here. The atmosphere is even more lively than during the Chinese New Year. You'll be able to see the grain distribution in a few days. Don't you think the sweet potatoes grown in the village are sweet? When we buy grain, let's ask for more. I'll make you sweet potato porridge and roast sweet potatoes for you in winter."
Jiang Qingwu was greedy when she thought of the taste of roasted sweet potatoes. "Yes, yes, roasted sweet potatoes and sugar-roasted chestnuts are the best in winter. Have you ever had sugar-roasted chestnuts?"
"Wife, can I eat chestnuts?"
Jiang Qingwu forgot that there are indeed chestnuts on the mountain here, and there are quite a lot of them, but the people here don’t know what chestnuts are, let alone how to eat them.
Someone had picked chestnuts in the mountains before, but they just peeled them and ate them. They tasted terrible, and since then everyone has thought that chestnuts are not tasty.
"Of course you can eat it. I have an idea, but I wonder if it's feasible?" Jiang Qingwu suddenly had a small business opportunity in his mind.
"You said, I see from your expression that you have got some evil ideas again." Zhou Yunzhou saw his wife's expression change very quickly, her big round eyes rolling around, and he knew that she must have had some ideas.
"Don't you want to help Third Brother? Go and tell him and his wife to go to the mountains to pick chestnuts when they have time. You can collect them all then."
Zhou Yunzhou was stunned. He accepted it? What did he want the chestnuts for?
Seeing his confused expression, Jiang Qingwu knew that he didn't understand what she meant, so she said directly, "I'll make some sugar-roasted chestnuts. You can take them to town and let Brother Hu taste them. As long as he is sure that the chestnuts are edible, he will definitely want them.
I'll write down the recipe and give it to him. As long as he's convinced that sugar-roasted chestnuts can make money, he'll want all the chestnuts you give him."
"Wife, you are so smart. There are plenty of chestnuts on the mountain. You can pick up a basket of them in no time." Zhou Yunzhou now understood what his wife meant. His wife's brain is really good.
"Yes, and it's not difficult for Third Brother and the others. They just have to pretend they're collecting firewood and digging wild vegetables in the mountains, otherwise the Zhou family won't let them make money smoothly."
"That's easy. Have Third Brother pick them up and bring them to our house. Every week when Wang Ergou and I go to town to deliver wild game, we'll push the chestnuts in our cart and sell them to Brother Hu."
Jiang Qingwu thought this was a good idea. Chestnuts could probably be sold for 10 to 15 cents per pound. If they could pick up 50 pounds a day, they could earn four or five yuan.
"Okay, just tell your third brother when you go hunting in the mountains. If it's not convenient for him to go, you can let your third sister-in-law take the children."
The two of them discussed all the way and now they have arrived at the threshing ground. Little Sun had just eaten some grape-flavored puree at home and was in a very good mood. He was still smacking his lips, wanting to taste it again.
Jiang Qingwu looked at his son's saliva and said to him with a disdainful smile, "Little greedy cat, look at your saliva! I didn't know my son was such a greedy cat."
The threshing ground was already bustling with activity. Since there were not many meat-sharing events in the village, the team leader had specially asked everyone to leave work early to watch the meat-sharing.
Mrs. Wang, Aunt Sun and others were saved by Zhou Yunzhou and were very grateful to him. When they saw him and Jiang Qingwu coming over, they came over with smiles on their faces to talk to them.
"Yunzhou, thank you from your auntie, otherwise I would have lost my life on the mountain," Aunt Sun said with a sincere look on her face.
"Yes, Brother Yunzhou, I also heard from your sister-in-law. Thanks to you, otherwise my son and my daughter would be motherless." Sister Wang, who had always envied Jiang Qingwu's breasts, was the one saved by Zhou Yunzhou.
The one who expressed gratitude was his man. When he heard that his wife encountered a wild boar in the mountains, his legs went weak. How could she survive if she encountered a wild boar? He didn't expect that it was Brother Yunzhou who saved his wife. This was actually saving a life.
"It's nothing. We are all from the same village. Anyone who encounters this situation will save each other." Zhou Yunzhou was not used to so many people surrounding him to thank him, and he was afraid that so many people would scare Little Sun, although this little bastard was not afraid at all, but very excited instead.
Liu Xiaohua and Liu Kang have already obtained their marriage certificate, and Liu Xiaohua, Liu Kang, and Jiang Zhaodi have also been punished according to Jiang Qingwu's request. The team leader sent someone to supervise the three of them.
Seeing so many people surrounding Zhou Yunzhou and Jiang Qingwu to express their gratitude, the three of them became jealous and their eyes turned red. They lived like stink bugs, so why should Jiang Qingwu live so well?
The butcher had already prepared the wild boar. The team leader, standing in front, saw that most people had arrived, so he immediately called out to everyone to line up and divide the meat. "Each family should send a representative to line up. This wild boar was killed by Yun Zhou. According to the village rules, whoever killed the wild boar will get 20 kilograms of meat. The accountant has already calculated the remaining meat. One kilogram per family is just right. Now let's start dividing the meat."
As soon as the team leader said this, the people under him were unhappy. After all, if Zhou Yunzhou got 20 kilograms more, his family would have to get less. If he didn't get these 20 kilograms, his family could still get a few more ounces of meat.
"Captain, why should we give him 20 kilograms more meat? He just stumbled upon this by accident, so he can't get more," said Old Lady Liu, who took the lead.
"Yes, and there are so few people in his family, just the two of them. Can they finish 20 kilograms of meat? Just give them one or two kilograms," Li Xiaomei's mother also said.
