"I went to ask around, and they're worried this winter will be just like last year, so they're all thinking of buying some and storing it at home so they don't have to go out if there's a heavy snowfall. That's why I came to ask if you want to slaughter a pig?"
Xu Qi was thoughtful when he heard this. He guessed that they would have such an idea, but he did not expect that they could sell so many this year.
"This is the second one today. Have the people we're working with brought in any pigs? There should be a few more, right?"
"No, he said the ones he had were already reserved by someone else." Lao Jin felt helpless when he thought about this. They hadn't expected so many people to buy meat. They had ordered six from that person, and now the rest had been reserved for someone else. Even if they wanted to cooperate, they couldn't let him break his promise.
"Is that so? Then let's kill them tomorrow!" Xu Qi thought about the pigs on the mountain again last night, and thought they should be able to survive until the New Year.
"Okay! I'll go give the order later."
"By the way, have any brothers in the mountains killed any wild boars?" Xu Qi has been busy with the black market and purchasing grains recently. He is so busy every day that he has no time to go to the mountains to see what the current situation is.
Thinking of this, he remembered the little girl he hadn't seen for a long time. It seemed that he had to go to the Red Star Brigade in the next two days. It just so happened that he also had something to discuss with Brother Yuan.
"They only killed two, but they were lucky enough to kill three wild roe deer and a male deer. Coincidentally, someone wanted to buy their antlers a while ago, so if they can handle them well, they won't have to worry about having no other options."
Lao Jin was very happy whenever he thought of this. This time, Xiao Zhu was leading the hunting team. He had such a big harvest this time, so he must have a lot of rewards.
Xu Qi was surprised to hear they'd killed a deer, thinking that once venison appeared, demand would surely outstrip supply. "Leave some aside for the brothers to enjoy a good meal later, and give the rest to Lao Quan. He has records of someone ordering venison."
"Okay, boss."
Xu Qi arranged everything and rode his bicycle to the Red Star Brigade the next day.
He first went to report his safety to his eldest sister, and handed her all the things his mother had prepared.
Xu Ci looked at the large bag of things and took out each one to examine it. "Did Niangrang bring all these?"
"right."
Seeing that he spoke so little, Xu Ci glanced at him with disdain. However, at this glance, she noticed another package hanging on the bicycle and asked curiously.
"Who are you giving these to?"
"Brother Yuan asked me to buy this." Xu Qi answered his elder sister's question without blushing or beating his heart.
Seeing him like this, Xu Ci began to become suspicious.
She didn't think what her second brother said was true, especially since some time ago, her second brother specially sent frostbite cream to the educated youth Xiao Song, and was very considerate to lend a hand to help her up. Just based on these two points, she felt that her second brother was hiding some secret from her.
"Really? Go ahead then. Do you want to stay for dinner tonight?"
"No, I have something else to do." Xu Qi wanted to go to the mountain later, so he refused directly.
"Okay!" Seeing that he didn't want to say anything more, Xu Ci didn't try to persuade him to stay. She watched him walk away and then took the things into the room. However, before entering the living room, she met her mother-in-law and the old lady.
"Aci, is your brother here to bring you something again?"
"Yes, mother, wait for me to clean up. My second brother said he got something good this time, which is perfect for you guys."
Xu Ci couldn't help laughing when she thought of the venison she had just seen. Ever since her sister-in-law got married, her mother-in-law had been worried and troubled all day, fearing that she would not live well in her husband's family. Fortunately, after knowing that her sister-in-law was living well, she has become more open-minded.
After all, the two elders in the family are old, and venison is a good thing that can help them nourish their bodies.
"You can use the food your parents gave you to nourish your body. We are both old and there is no need to eat such good food."
The old lady was originally warming herself by the fire in the house. When she heard this, she came out and said with a smile.
"Grandma, you can't say that. You have to live a long life and wait for Xiaoxia to get married and have children!" When Xu Ci saw the person coming out, he hurried forward and helped her walk inside.
I'm afraid it's too cold outside and I might catch a cold.
"Yes, yes, yes." The old lady of the Cheng family also smiled happily at this time.
She is already over 50 years old this year. Her sons and grandchildren are very filial. They will send them any good things. Occasionally, if they know that they want to eat something good, they will take the trouble to get it for them.
In addition, their two sons are filial and promising, so they don’t have to worry about their family affairs.
She remembered that a few days ago she had just mentioned that the noodles tasted good, but she didn't expect her youngest son to directly send her more than 20 kilograms of noodles. He was afraid that it was not enough for her, and told her to tell him if she wanted to eat.
She originally wanted to tell the production method to her eldest son's family, but they refused. In her impression, craftsmanship should not be passed on to outsiders.
The two sisters of the Song family were willing to tell them because the two families were relatives and were also the in-laws' families.
But if we reveal it to their family, it would mean that the Cheng family is taking advantage of them. How could we do such a wicked thing?
Fortunately, after she and the old man taught them a lesson, the two of them realized something and seriously promised not to tell anyone about the matter, so they gave up.
Speaking of which, Old Mrs. Cheng felt that the luckiest thing she had done in her life was.
She educated her two children so well and found considerate daughters-in-law for them, which also allowed her and her old man to live a peaceful old age.
There is no need to worry about everything for both of them.
