The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter
Chapter 53: Wild boar as a fulcrum to pry open Daquan Village
The weather is not cold yet, so the wild boar meat will not last long no matter how long it is stored.
Meng Lan certainly had no objection to this traditional practice of sharing a piece with the family who came to help. She was not reluctant to share the things with others.
But when she thought that most people would probably cook and eat such good wild boar meat when they took it home, Meng Lan couldn't help but feel sorry for the wild boar.
Pigs will eventually die, but the ways they die are many and varied.
Meat is always served, but it is prepared differently.
However, after thinking about it, Meng Lan decided to respect the villagers' own opinions.
Those who wanted pork right away could take a piece of meat home after it was cut. Those who wanted sausages would have to wait for half a month until she made them.
As for the remaining pork, Meng Lan could make it into pork elbow rice, pig trotter rice and other foods and sell them for money.
But pigs are valuable from head to toe, and there are so many things you can do with them. If you set up a stall, having too many types of products at once will burden customers with choices.
But together with the Hu family, they can only set up two or three stalls at the same time.
Looking at these simple and kind villagers, Meng Lan's mind became active.
Everyone in a village knows each other well. If she wants to expand her business, she can trust these people and they will be her best candidates.
Outsiders can never compare to people from the same village. It would be best if the village head's family could take the lead, Meng Lan thought, staring at He Dazhu's eyes for a long time.
He Dazhu's calves couldn't help but tremble. What's wrong with He Laoliu's wife? Why is she always looking at him? Is he that handsome?
After careful consideration, Meng Lan finally decided to use this wild boar as a fulcrum to pry open the entire Daquan Village.
"Ahem..." Meng Lan cleared her throat and said to the village chief He Dazhui.
"Village Chief, I have no objection. Everyone has helped us, so we should get the points we deserve. But I have another idea, which is..."
Meng Lan first explained the idea of sausages, and then she saw hesitation on the faces of some people in the crowd.
She was not in a hurry to urge them to make a decision, but pulled Hu Shushan aside. She was not the kind of person who would take pity on other people's well-being. She only had the power to decide her own things, not the power to make decisions for others.
"Brother-in-law, are you keeping the other half for your family to eat?"
She planned to sell the wild boar meat to the villagers at a low price after cooking it, because it was profitable for her, and she wanted to attract some villagers to join her and set up stalls. But the Hu family didn't need to do that.
As for giving it away for free to the villagers, she was reluctant to do so, and there was no need to do so, because free food would not be cherished. In addition, there were so many people in the village that there was simply not enough food to go around.
It would be better to charge a symbolic amount of money so that everyone will feel better.
Hu Shushan nodded after hearing what Meng Lan said, "Keep it for now and wait until my wife comes back."
He couldn't make the decisions at home. All matters big and small had to be decided by his wife Meng Chuncao, and he just did what he was supposed to do.
After hearing what he said, Meng Lan glanced at him and thought that this old man Hu was still a henpecked husband. Meng Chuncao's life was really good and comfortable.
The men had almost finished their rest, and He Dazhu decided how to divide the meat between them, Meng Lan, and Hu Shushan. So the men picked up the wild boar again and headed towards Meng Lan's home.
After arriving at the place, several men who knew how to kill pigs helped to deal with the wild boar. Then, in the open space in front of the Menglan family and the Hu family, they prepared to start dividing the pork.
The men who came to help stood in a row consciously. He Dazhui stuffed a knife into Meng Lan's hand, meaning that she would be responsible for dividing the meat.
Meng Lan looked at the greasy pork in front of her, frowned, then picked up the knife and cut a large piece of fat and lean pork for the man in the first place.
The man's eyes were almost glued to the pork. He swallowed hard a few times, then happily took the pork and stepped aside to make room for the person behind him.
Several people asked for pork, and no one asked for sausage. Meng Lan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but she soon felt relieved.
In this era, sausages are not something that everyone has eaten. The production steps are complicated and require the addition of appropriate seasonings.
The most important thing is to handle the casing properly, and absolutely no trace of the original taste can be retained.
They have never eaten it and don't understand it, so naturally they don't want to take the risk. It's better to take the ready-made pork home and cook it. This is also human nature.
At this time, Meng Lan had almost figured it out in her mind and was no longer depressed about it.
Let’s wait until she makes it, then everyone will know how delicious the sausage is.
Meng Lan was lowering her head to cut off a piece of prime hind leg meat when a young and curious male voice came from above her head.
"Sixth Grandma, what is that sausage?" He Jinliang asked.
The villagers called Meng Lan's husband He Laoliu, so some children in the village also called her Sixth Grandma or He Liu Grandma.
He Jinliang is the son of the eldest son of the village chief He Dazhu, and also the eldest grandson of He Dazhu.
Although he was not very old, he was tall and strong, so he came over to help carry the wild boar down the mountain.
"Dice the fat and slice the lean meat, add seasoning and marinate for a while, then stuff it into sausage casings, tie them up with ropes and dry them in the sun for six or seven days. When you want to eat it, steam it in a pot and cut it into slices."
Although Meng Lan felt that the boy in front of her would not be able to choose sausages, considering that he was the first one to ask her, Meng Lan was still very happy that someone wanted to know, so she explained it to him in detail.
After listening to Meng Lan's explanation, He Jinliang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but continue asking her questions.
"Sixth Grandma, is this sausage delicious? How do you make it?"
"Of course it's delicious. Rich people all eat this. I learned how to make it from watching other people make it in town when I was young." Meng Lan lied without blushing or panicking.
The experience of working for a wealthy family in the town when the original body was young was like a panacea, it was very useful.
Moreover, that family had moved out of the town a long time ago, so no one could know whether what she said was true or not. Meng Lan was very satisfied with this.
Just by listening to Meng Lan's words, He Jinliang couldn't help swallowing.
When He Dazhu saw his eldest grandson's useless appearance, his heart skipped a beat. Before he could stop him, He Jinliang spoke first.
"Sixth Grandma, I want sausages, not pork."
He Jinliang's every word was powerful and it was obvious that he was determined to try this thing called "sausage".
It's all meat anyway, so it doesn't matter what you eat. If this sausage is really that delicious, then he still made a profit! He Jinliang thought happily.
He Dazhu sighed helplessly when he heard his grandson's choice. He looked at Meng Lan, and hesitated several times, but in the end he said nothing.
Forget it, as long as he is happy.
After the group of people divided up, only two people chose sausages. One was He Jinliang, the eldest grandson of He Dazhu, and the other was He Fengshou, the youngest son of He Laowu, the fifth brother of He Laoliu.
Meng Lan agreed with the two of them that after seven days, she would deliver the prepared sausages to their home.
The advantage of a village is also reflected here. We know each other well and don’t have to worry about people running away.
After all the things were divided, Meng Lan and the Hu family divided the rest equally and then went back to their respective homes.
When He Chuanzong from the stall and He Chuanjia from delivering rice came back, they were so shocked to see the extra half pig in their yard that they almost dropped their jaws.
But in just half a day, half a pig appeared in the house. What other surprises did their mother have that they didn't know about?
Meng Lan was so focused on making sausages that she had no time to explain the origin of the wild boar to her sons. She left it to He Zhaodi and the others to explain it anyway.
Meng Lan looked around and when she saw Yang carrying a small stool to the yard to bask in the sun, her gaze stopped and she greeted her daughter-in-law.
"God-given daughter-in-law, come here."
When Yang turned her head, she happened to meet her mother-in-law's extremely "kind" face. Her heart beat rapidly and she immediately had a bad premonition.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Yang raised her head and looked at her mother-in-law with some uneasiness in her eyes.
