Chapter 61 So much money, eyes are bright
Su Niannian left the educated youth point and headed straight for the village entrance.
Uncle Jiang, who drives the ox cart, is already waiting at the entrance of the village.
Because of Su Niannian's heroic act of saving people yesterday, she is now famous.
The aunties, grannies, young girls and wives who were already waiting on the ox cart were all very enthusiastic when they saw Su Niannian.
Either he gave Su Niannian a handful of peanuts or some dried sweet potatoes.
Su Niannian took them one by one without hesitation, and then took out melon seeds and fruit candies and distributed them to everyone.
Of course, Uncle Jiang, who drove the ox cart, also had a part in it.
Seeing that most people had arrived and the time was up, Uncle Jiang collected five cents from each person and then drove the ox cart to the county town.
"Little Su Zhiqing, I really didn't expect you to have such medical skills. You don't even know how much you have helped the Zhou family."
"Yes, Huzi is the lifeblood of the Zhou family. Aunt Zhou even killed a chicken this morning and said she would give it to you as a thank-you gift."
In this day and age, a chicken as a thank you gift is already a very generous gift.
"It's just a piece of cake, actually." Su Niannian smiled and ate the peanuts that an aunt had just given her.
There were four red ones, very fragrant, and well preserved. Su Niannian guessed that they were probably left over from the Chinese New Year.
"Little Su Zhiqing is really amazing. If I need your help in the future, I hope you won't refuse."
"Yes, our mountain village is too far from the county town. Even if we drive a tractor, it takes an hour. If someone gets sick suddenly, I'm afraid they won't make it to the county town."
"It's really a great thing that we have the young educated youth Su here now."
There were a lot of compliments, and Su Niannian responded to them all with a smile.
If there is a need, Su Niannian will definitely help, as she has the consciousness of a Chinese doctor.
Along the way, everyone was very enthusiastic towards Su Niannian.
Even Uncle Jiang, who was driving the ox cart, interrupted and said that his wife had been praising the educated youth Su since she came back yesterday.
She also said that she blew air into the mouth and nose of a child who was not breathing, and she didn't feel disgusted at all, unlike some of the newly arrived female educated youth who were very disgusted with the country folk.
Anyway, it was a lot of praise, and even though Su Niannian was thick-skinned, she felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
Fortunately, the two hours passed quickly, and the time seemed to pass very quickly as we chatted along the way.
After everyone got off the ox cart, Su Niannian circled around the black market twice and then went straight into the black market.
Lu Hongliang’s pork stall is located in the center of the black market and is quite conspicuous.
As soon as Su Niannian appeared in front of Lu Hongliang's pork stall, Lu Hongliang saw Su Niannian first.
With an excited smile on his face, Lu Hongliang came out.
"Big sister! You are finally here." Lu Hongliang's voice was excited, and he couldn't close his mouth when he saw Su Niannian smiling.
"Brother Lu, did you make money from the braised pork offal you tried making yesterday?" Su Niannian said with a smile.
"Yes! I was very confident in the taste of your seasoning, so I hurried to buy some pig offal after noon."
"When the comrades at the pig farm heard that I wanted 600 kilograms of pig offal, they immediately lowered the price to 6 cents. I didn't expect it."
Lu Hongliang did not hide his purchase price at all. Six cents was indeed much lower than Su Niannian had imagined.
"That's great." Su Niannian nodded.
"Yes, I mobilized my two sisters-in-law, my wife, my mother, my sister, and my three brothers to handle these 600 kilograms of pig offal."
"The loss is about the same as you said. After 600 kilograms of pig offal is cooked, with a little bit of soup, it weighs about 500 kilograms."
"It was selling like crazy yesterday afternoon!!"
It turned out that yesterday Lu Hongliang went home and told his parents and wife about his cooperation with Su Niannian in selling braised pork offal.
At first they thought this was a mess, but after eating the two pieces of braised pork offal left in Lu Hongliang's lunch box, the three of them felt that there was something to this matter.
Although they need to buy a lot of pots and pans, since Lu Hongliang thinks it is feasible, they all expressed their support.
This family would not have lived such a comfortable life if Lu Hongliang had not sold pork on the black market.
Lu Hongliang called on his two unemployed sisters-in-law who were at home taking care of the children, and contacted three good brothers to help.
It took a group of people more than three hours to braise the pig.
Then Lu Hongliang and his three brothers divided 500 kilograms of braised pork offal into four portions and went to four different places.
There are family quarters of large factories, factory gates, black markets, and places with high traffic but slightly hidden.
At first, passers-by smelled the fragrance and gathered around, all of them curious.
I don’t know why the food in these pots smells so good. It tastes even better than the meat dishes in state-owned restaurants.
However, after hearing that these were pig offal, many people were discouraged.
In the eyes of these people, pig offal not only has a strange smell, but is also not very clean.
If you have money, who wouldn't want to buy some fatty pork? Why would you choose which offal to eat?
Fortunately, Lu Hongliang had a business sense and let the onlookers have a taste.
Although some people dislike it because it is pig offal and don't want to taste it, the fragrance is so tempting.
Some people tasted it and thought it was delicious. Although it was a bit expensive at one yuan per pound, they still bought two pounds to take home to satisfy their cravings.
Some people think that for one dollar per pound, they can eat fatty pork, so they decide not to buy it even though it tastes good.
But there are still many people buying it.
Within two hours, all the braised pork offal that the four men had taken out was sold out.
When he returned home, Lu Hongliang's eyes turned green when he saw the piles of Mao's banknotes and more than twenty Great Unity notes on the table.
"Son, pinch me, this... this, can this really be sold for so much money?" Lu Hongliang's mother fell into deep self-doubt.
She had never seen so much money in her life.
A lot of this money is in Mao Zedong's banknotes, and when piled together, it is really spectacular.
"Yes, this business is really profitable!" Lu Hongliang's eyes lit up when he saw so much money.
When the people present saw the money, no one's eyes were not bright.
"It's a pity that 60% of the money has to be given to the cooperating girl." Lu Hongliang's wife felt a little distressed.
After all, in her eyes, the purchase, transportation, cleaning and preparation of these pig offal were all done by her family.
The little girl just offered a seasoning and could take 60% of the profit for free.
This made Lu Hongliang's wife feel uncomfortable.
"You are really short-sighted. Today we sold 500 kilograms of braised pork offal, which means we made 500 yuan. We gave 300 yuan to the little girl, and we still have 200 yuan."
"Tell me, how much pork do I have to sell to earn 200 yuan?"
