The commune leader patted him on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "Not bad, it's rare to see such humility in your Luofeng Village. This is the most precious quality in our Hongxing Commune."
"Don't worry, if there are any openings in the commune, we'll consider you first!"
The village chief nodded with a smile, preparing to secretly take the wild boar meat from his home and deliver it to the commune leader. Whoever it was, as long as they could obtain the title of commune member, their Luofeng Village would be well-informed, making everything easier.
Upon hearing that dozens of wild boars were waiting to be slaughtered, the butchers hurriedly arrived with their tools and apprentices. They were government employees, but there were policies from above and local rules to follow.
They went to the countryside to help slaughter pigs. Although they received wages from the organization, the village would usually give them a pound or two of good meat as compensation for their hard work traveling back and forth.
After all, pig slaughtering is a skill, and there's a lot more to it than meets the eye!
Wild boars are strong. Even if they were trapped on the rocky beach overnight, they would still kick and howl vigorously when they saw so many people. If they were not slaughtered, they would be difficult to transport.
Since the weather is getting colder now, fresh meat can be stored for a while, so the village chief and the head of the cooperative decided to slaughter all the pigs. They even prepared the three pigs for the villagers first!
The entire village of Luofeng was excited all day, helping to boil water to wash the pig, slaughter it, and collect its blood...
By the time everything was finished, the sun was already setting in the west.
Qin Yuanjiu arrived at the village entrance in a large truck. Usually at this time, a crowd would gather under the tree. Even if everyone was eating, they would run to see what was going on when they heard the sound of the truck engine.
But everyone is helping to slaughter the pig at the village committee today, so no one has time to think about anything else.
The commotion could be heard from afar at the village entrance.
Since the car couldn't get in, two workers from the meat processing plant followed him to the village committee.
Given that the Ke family discovered wild boar meat and selflessly reported it to the village.
So when the village slaughtered its first pig, the village chief and the village party secretary decided to give the Ke family's fourth branch 100 jin of top-quality pork belly first! Then the rest was distributed according to the work points that the villagers usually earned.
The four families, including Ke Meiyu and her husband, received a total of 108 catties of pork.
Madam Ke wasn't stingy; she gave five catties each to the eldest and third wives, ten catties to her parents-in-law, and ten catties to her own family!
Ke Meiyu was sitting in a tree, eating a large bowl of pig-slaughtering food with the children, swaying her legs as she ate.
She spotted the man approaching, stood up with a smile while holding the bowl, took the basket off her head, jumped down easily, and ran to him.
"Hello, gentlemen. Have you eaten yet? Please join us. I specially saved some stew made by the villagers, with pork cracklings sprinkled on top by my mother. It's made with hand-pulled noodles and a soft-boiled egg!"
It was so delicious, I felt like I was in heaven. I stuffed a big mouthful into my mouth, and it was so fragrant and tasty.
Ke Meiyu lifted the cloth, revealing a tall, deep wicker basket that could hold four bowls in one layer, separated by wooden boards, with a total of three layers.
Qin Yuanjiu picked up the basket, glanced inside, and then smiled faintly, inviting the two to eat first.
The bowls in the basket belonged to the fourth wife; their unique patterns were part of the betrothal gifts he had prepared.
Because the young couple were still living off the old house, the pots and pans were in the new house, but the bowls and basins were taken back to the old house by Ke Meiyu.
There were already three empty bowls in the basket, and the bowl in Ke Meiyu's arms was now only filled with thick soup.
Qin Yuanjiu naturally picked up another bowl and handed it to her, saying, "Don't just think about us."
Ke Meiyu nodded repeatedly, downed the thick soup in one gulp, and continued eating her fifth bowl of pork offal noodles with a smile on her face.
The two instructors declined, feeling embarrassed.
They were just on official business; how could they eat the villagers' food, especially a bowl full of meat!
“Master, please eat! I discovered the wild boar herd, and my family got over a hundred catties of meat,” Ke Meiyu said with a smile. “Eat a bowl and take a bowl home. Let me tell you, these wild boars grew up eating ginseng from the mountains. It’s incredibly good for the brain and health of the elderly and children. Maybe a few college students will come from your family.”
Qin Yuanjiu flicked her head speechlessly, "Go ahead and eat."
This girl can't keep anything to herself; she'd love to tell everyone that the wild boar herd ate some kind of magic potion, and everyone should spread the word...
The two workers asked curiously, "Young man, how do you know that wild boars grow up eating ginseng?"
Ke Meiyu's eyes darted around, and she continued to boast with a smile, "I'm a doctor, and I can tell that this wild boar group has an extraordinary constitution. Moreover, because they have been eating rare flowers and herbs and various precious medicinal herbs on the mountain for a long time, they have become a rare tonic themselves."
"This tonic is easier for everyone to absorb!"
"You know, there's always a reason behind anything that seems strange. Have you ever heard of a herd of wild boars being chased by wolves and ending up stuck on a rocky beach?"
"Maybe even the wolves know that wild boar meat is highly nutritious!"
The two masters just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
No matter what you eat, wild boar meat is still wild boar meat.
However, they couldn't resist the temptation of the meat, so they took the bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
After taking just one bite of the meat, their eyes welled up with tears of excitement—it was so delicious!
They were employees of a meat processing plant, and they could eat meat every now and then, but they had never eaten such delicious and fragrant food.
They took one bite and couldn't bear to part with it, wanting to bring some back for their families to try.
Qin Yuanjiu chuckled and handed over another bowl: "The two chefs still have a lot to do. Eat this bowl first to fill your stomach, and then take another bowl back so your family can taste our farm-style food."
The two men smiled sheepishly and didn't refuse any longer, but they only ate a third of their bowls. They had brought their own food containers with them, so one of them carried a bamboo basket and jogged along to make room for the porcelain bowl.
After Qin Yuanjiu finished eating, he instructed people to carry the slaughtered wild boar meat onto the cart.
Three wild boars were left in the commune, and the rest were moved into the truck.
After the butcher and the supply and marketing cooperative staff left, everyone gathered around Qin Yuanjiu to ask how things were handled.
The president and his team didn't leave either; they were waiting for his report.
"If pork is sold directly to a meat processing plant, it will be a little more expensive than ordinary domestic pigs, but the price of the finished product after processing can double."
"Of course, this includes processing fees, seasoning fees, transportation fees, formula patents, and so on, but the profit is still quite substantial."
"So I talked to the meat processing plant manager and asked them to process the meat for us, and we'll contact the sellers ourselves!"
Everyone was uncertain, even the commune leader and the village chief were feeling apprehensive.
"Comrade Qin, we are all country folk. We didn't expect to make much money from wild boar meat. Selling it to the meat processing plant is a good option."
"That's right, it was Ke's seventh sister who found the wild boar meat. It's like a freebie for us. We don't care about making a lot; we just want to sell it smoothly and steadily, and buy something for our family!"
