Chapter 237 Buying Meat to Celebrate
Jiang Xiangnan and others immediately felt that what they had done was nothing.
Uncle Jiang Sanye's family is one of the richest families in the village. They got a good number in the lottery and ranked second. They are also the first family in the village to complete the construction and move into the new house. However, they can't even afford a meal of meat, let alone other families in the village!
It is very good to have minced meat to eat at home, and they should be content.
Feng Meng's gruff voice followed immediately, "I want to buy some! Leave some for me. My house will be finished the day after tomorrow at the latest, so I have to buy it in advance!"
Now that the weather has turned cold, it is no problem to keep it for several days. Besides, they haven't eaten meat for many days, and their stomachs are empty. They still want to eat more vegetables and rice even if they are already at the end of their throats.
It's not very hungry.
"My family wants it too! Lately, we've been climbing mountains to collect medicinal herbs, moving adobe bricks to build a house, and keeping watch at night from time to time. It's too hard. I have to be nice to myself and my family~"
Besides, you don’t have to go to the city, you can buy meat at your doorstep, and it’s much cheaper than in the city. If you don’t seize such a good opportunity, you don’t know how many days it will take to miss it!
He is not stupid, so of course he buys as much as he can.
"Me, me, me, I want it!"
"And me!"
.....
The Lei family didn't expect to receive such a warm welcome when they returned from hunting.
They had thought that although they did not hunt any valuable deer this time, they had hunted wild boars and wild sheep, and even two wild boars. They would sell them in the village first, and keep the ones that could not be sold for themselves.
Anyway, you can use the time you spend selling game in the city to dig medicinal herbs and earn some money, right?
They just keep the prey for themselves.
But seeing all the people so enthusiastic, a question popped up in their minds: How many of the two wild boars are left?
Liu Cuihua swallowed her saliva and thought, will she end up like the oil seller combing her hair with water while the butcher gnaws on her bones?
The bosses only go into the mountains once every few days, and they harvest quite a bit. They originally thought that they were not too short of money now, so they could keep more meat for themselves, but now they are afraid that they can only gnaw on the bones!
Jiang Xiangnan brought Shen Qing all the way to the front.
I saw the cart was piled high with prey, including two wild boars!
The fat and strong wild boar may be a little ugly, but it is meat after all!
Wild sheep, wild rabbits, roe deer, musk deer, pheasants... Jiang Xiangnan felt that his saliva was coming out too fast and he almost couldn't swallow it in time.
But I feel a lot more at ease.
He turned to look at his mother and said calmly, "Mom, this time the harvest is much bigger than last time. We can definitely buy more! We can eat for a long time."
Maybe there will be some left over that can be made into smoked meat and preserved food to eat slowly during the winter.
Shen Qing was not as optimistic as Jiang Xiangnan.
Last time, they had helpers at home, and other families were considerate of them and naturally let her buy more and choose more. This time, their family has more helpers, but there are still several other families with helpers. Besides, everyone has been tired for so long, who doesn’t want to have a good rest?
Another important point is that the last time we sold the astragalus, we had some savings, but no subsequent income, so every household didn’t dare to be generous in buying it. This time, with the subsequent income, of course they would be much more willing to spend than last time!
As Shen Qing had guessed, every family wanted to have every little thing, and several families even asked for half a wild boar.
In the end, it was the Lei family who persuaded them to buy less, as they would go into the mountains to hunt in a few days, and it would taste better if they bought fresh ones then.
After much persuasion, the families who had helped build the wild boar houses got the lion's share, and the rest of the families only bought 20 to 30 kilograms each.
Wild sheep, roe deer, musk deer, hares, and pheasants are much tastier than wild boar meat, and the competition for them is more intense.
Liu Cuihua:.....She was wrong, it's not that the butcher was gnawing on bones, it's that he didn't even gnaw on bones!
Not only are there no bones, there are no pig offal or mutton offal at all!
Finally, she had no other choice but to secretly find Shen Qing and say, "You want pheasants? We have plenty of rabbits on this mountain. The boss said he'd hunt down a dozen or twenty of them in the next two days and send them to you. I guarantee you'll have something to eat!"
"Okay, fine!" Shen Qing nodded repeatedly.
Lei Dafu is so thoughtful. Is this a backdoor for their family?
The whole family benefited from Xiaoyu!
It’s also great to have pheasant. Make a pheasant soup and add the hazel mushrooms that Cuihua gave me before. It’s so delicious!
We grabbed some pigs, sheep, and mutton offal. In the evening, we made some spicy mutton offal and made some soft white flour buns. We broke open the spicy and appetizing mutton offal, ate a bite, and then drank a sip of the sweet and nutritious pheasant and hazel mushroom soup. This was a great party for the completion of the new house.
In the end, Jiang Xiangxi carried half a wild boar, Jiang Xiangdong carried half a sheep, Jiang Xiangnan carried three pheasants, and Jiang Xiangbei carried mutton offal and returned with joy and sighs.
Chuntian saw that there was no one around, so he caught up with the last of the Jiang Yu and quickly handed over the gauze-covered basket in his hand: "Look, there are so many fruits, so fresh, I saved them for you, you can enjoy them slowly when you go back.
If you have something you like, remember the color and shape and tell me, I'll ask my big brother to pick it for me!"
It was really not easy for her. She had to hide it from her parents, her other brothers and sisters, and she couldn't tell Jiang Yu anything.
Woohoo, if Jiang Yu really becomes her sister-in-law in the future, will she blame her?
She deceived her sister-in-law before she even entered the house. Is there any sister-in-law in the world who is worse than her?
Jiang Yu looked at the basket, which was brimming with fruit even through the gauze covering it, and asked softly, "That's too much. Don't you want to keep some for yourself?"
"Well, I don't like to eat it, so what's the point of keeping it?" Chuntian scratched his head and smiled foolishly.
She wants to stay, but she also needs her elder brother's consent, right?
The eldest brother said that Jiang Yu has a large family, including his sister-in-law, and many nephews, nieces, and nieces-in-law. As an elder, how could Jiang Yu not provide food for the younger generations?
There were so many fruits given that Jiang Yu didn't even know how many were left. How could she possibly snatch these few fruits?
Now that things have come to this, is she eating fruit? She's feeling sad!
Not to mention keeping it for yourself, you can't even try one.
Jiang Yu calmly tested him: "If you don't like to eat them, why did your brother pick so many for you? It's not easy to carry this basket of fruits."
After all, every time Chuntian mentioned Lei Dafu, he picked the ones for his sister to eat.
Lei Chuntian opened his mouth, uttered an "ah," looked left and right, and then stammered, "I, I used to like eating it, but later I ate too much and stopped liking it.
Oh, my big brother dotes on me, so he picks them for me even if I don’t like them.”
When she said that, she just felt very sad.
How could the eldest brother care about her so much! He is a grown man who doesn't like to eat fruit, but he thinks everyone else doesn't like to eat it.
The younger sister is treated the same way as her younger brother, and is treated the same way without any deviation!
Oh, there is still a deviation.
When my younger brothers made mistakes, they were beaten with much greater force, but when my younger sisters made mistakes, they were just verbally scolded and never physically assaulted.
Well, so his elder brother finally has someone he cares about, and she can't mess it up for him no matter what!
