The others understood what she said, but although they understood, they were also envious. After all, not everyone was willing to spend so much money to buy meat at once.
The village chief smiled and said, "You want pork, not wild boar?".br>
Lu Xia shook her head, "No, I want pork." Wild boar meat was too tough and she didn't like it.
The village chief nodded and asked Hui to calculate the price. Lu Xia paid the money. The person in charge of cutting the meat had already cut the meat. Then the two of them carried the meat and left amid the envy of others.
Nearly ten dollars!
The old people in the village looked at Lu Xia as if she was a spendthrift woman.
But young people envy the couple for having a good life. They don’t have elderly people to take care of them, and their family members in the city can often take care of them.
It’s really enviable that you don’t have to worry about food and clothing!
However, when I thought about their status as educated youth, my envy faded.
They are city dwellers but they have to suffer in the countryside and they don’t know when they can go back. The husband is in poor health and can’t earn many work points. If one day their family no longer cares about them, they don’t know if they can survive.
...
...
Thinking of this, no one cared much anymore.
Lu Xia and the other man were very happy after they carried the meat back.
"We'll be able to eat for a while this time, so let's make a meal tonight to satisfy our cravings."
Jiang Junmo thought for a moment and said, "There are still a few days until the Chinese New Year, so let's save it for the New Year."
"It's okay, that's enough. It's only a few days away. I haven't eaten meat for several days. I'm really craving it."
Jiang Junmo laughed when he heard this.
"Okay, let's do it."
Lu Xia glanced at him and asked, "Are you going to cook or should I? We don't have many vegetables at home, otherwise stir-fried pork tenderloin with peppers would be the best. Oh, I just forgot, I should buy some bones. There's so much pickled cabbage at home, I should buy some to stew."
Jiang Junmo laughed after hearing her words, "What you can think of, others can think of too. Bones are cheap. Didn't you see that so many people in the village haven't left after buying them? They are all waiting to buy them."
Lu Xia suddenly realized, "That's right. Even if we go back to buy it now, it won't be our turn. So forget it. It's okay. A little meat will be fine. Otherwise, I'm getting tired of just stewing sauerkraut."
Jiang Junmo smiled and shook his head, "I'll make cabbage stew with meat tonight."
"Okay, you do it!"
On that day, most families in the village cooked meat, and the whole village was filled with the smell of meat.
The educated youth camp also bought a lot of meat, but it was bought by several people together. There were only two pots in each house in the educated youth camp, and everyone lived together. It was impossible to cook individually in order to save firewood, so everyone still ate together, but the boys and girls were separated.
This time, the female educated youth worked together to buy ten kilograms of wild boar meat, and even Cheng Yujiao, who didn't have many work points, contributed money.
I also cooked something to eat in the evening. However, while eating, Cheng Yujiao heard that the wild boar meat was caught by Su Man in a trap, and she started to be confused again.
"I was wondering why this meat tasted so bad and had a foul smell. Turns out she brought it back. No wonder!"
Yu Fang, who was serving her food, pretended not to hear anything with an expressionless face.
However, another person in the room, Sun Shengnan, heard it.
What she said was really unpleasant to the ears, so he frowned and said, "If you don't like it, then don't eat it."
Who knew that Cheng Yujiao would curl her lips and say, "I paid for it, so why shouldn't I eat it? I'll eat it! But why is there so little meat? Did you give me so little on purpose? No, I think you guys are bullying me because I can't get off the ground. I have to talk to Brother Xiangnan about this."
