Siheyuan: Stepping on many birds, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks

"Qiu Nan is here." Yan's mother smiled.

When seeing the more than one pound of pork belly in Yan Jiekuang's hand, Yan's mother was helpless: "You, my child, just don't know how to live."

It’s no wonder that Yan’s mother said that Yan Jiekuang often brought pork home, sometimes half a pound and sometimes more than a pound.

Food is in short supply now and pork is in short supply. It is difficult to buy it even if you have money and tickets.

There is pork on the black market, but the price is very expensive, and the price changes almost every day.

Right now, pork on the black market is more than three yuan per pound, and you need a meat ticket. Without a ticket, it’s hard to buy it even at five yuan per pound.

"You can just eat pork every day." Yan Jiekuang said with a smile.

"Stop bragging." Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes. She didn't believe what Yan Jiekuang said.

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said nothing.

In fact, Yan Jiekuang was telling the truth.

With the system space, Yan Jiekuang had started raising pigs a long time ago, first with two piglets. When the two piglets grew up, they gave birth to seven more pigs.

Although Yan Jiekuang did not raise many pigs, they were enough for his family to eat.

Moreover, in addition to the pigs raised in the space, Yan Jiekuang can also buy them.

Pork on the black market is expensive, but it is cheaper in the wet market and the supply and marketing cooperatives, but there is too little. Many people line up early in the morning, but not many people can buy it, and some of them have connections. The price of pork on the black market has risen wildly. This is a criminal act of speculation, so it cannot be seen in the light.

At present, the authorities have begun to pay attention to the black market.

According to Yan Jiekuang's speculation, not only the black market in the capital, but also the black markets across the country may be cracked down this year. Even if nothing happens this year, something is more likely to happen next year.

Among those who frequently hang out in the black market, the smart ones have already sensed that something is wrong and have pulled themselves out, but most of them have no sense of crisis.

Because the risk of going to the black market is getting higher and higher, Yan Jiekuang rarely goes to the black market.

With the space, Yan Jiekuang doesn't take much risk in going to the black market. It's dark everywhere. He can put the things he buys into the space. Even if the plainclothes police catch him, he will be left with nothing.

"We should be more frugal in the future." Ding Qiunan whispered to Yan Jiekuang.

Every time Yan Jiekuang went to Ding Qiunan's place, he would often bring pork, roosters, eggs, etc.

Occasionally, Yan Jiekuang would go fishing, and he would always have a good catch every time, at least seven or eight kilograms.

"This is about one pound, right?" Yan Bugui looked at the pork that Yan Jiekuang was carrying.

"More than a pound." Yan Jiekuang said casually.

Next, cooking was left to Yan's mother.

Yan Bugui and his mother wanted to use half a pound of pork for cooking, but Yan Jiekuang wanted to use all of it.

Then, Yan Jiekuang asked Yan Jiedi to call Yan Jiecheng and his family to come and eat.

When Yan's mother prepared a pot of potatoes and pork, Yan Jiekuang got a small bowl, picked out a few pieces of fat, and then gave it to the deaf old lady.

Whenever someone makes something delicious, they will give some to the old lady.

Some people even prepare delicious food secretly behind closed doors at night, for fear that others will find out.

There were several children in the yard staring at the Yan family, their eyes turning green.

These children can eat steamed bread, but they are still not full. When they see the Yan family eating meat, they become greedy.

Looking at the children in the yard, Yan Jiekuang didn't have any good intentions. Mainly because he didn't dare to. Once he started, he couldn't stop.

Pairs of green eyes stared straight at the small bowl of braised pork with potatoes in Yan Jiekuang's hand.

Yan Jiekuang ignored the children and went straight to the backyard.

Deaf old lady house.

The old lady had steamed buns, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and tofu soup today.

Xiaodang eats steamed corn bread.

The old lady has bad teeth and it is difficult for her to digest fine grains, so she has to eat fine grains now.

In addition to white flour buns, the old lady eats rice porridge, noodles, etc.

The old lady was also very happy when she saw Yan Jiekuang bring her potatoes and braised pork.

Xiaodang was also excited. Although Yan Jiekuang gave it to the deaf old lady, she could also have a taste.

"Old lady, please eat slowly." After putting a small bowl of braised potatoes and meat on the table, Yan Jiekuang went home.

As soon as he left the old lady's house, Yan Jiekuang was blocked by Xu Damao.

"Jie Kuang, did your family eat pork again today?" Xu Damao's face was full of smiles.

"Brother Xu, if you want to buy some pork, I can help you. I can't say how much more you want. Three or five catties is not a problem. Three yuan per catty. I don't need your ticket." Yan Jiekuang thought about it and said with a smile. Yan Jiekuang now has several hundred catties of pork, so even if he sells a hundred catties, he can still do it.

Pork on the black market costs at least three yuan a pound, and you need a meat ticket. If pork costs three yuan a pound and no ticket is required, everyone will scramble for it.

Yan Jiekuang planned to buy some pork for the people in the compound, which would also help him become more popular.

"Really?" Xu Damao became excited when he heard what Yan Jiekuang said.

Xu Damao thought about providing Chunhua with nutritional supplements every day, hoping that Chunhua would give birth to a big fat boy for him. But now food is in short supply, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for Xu Damao to get good things.

Life would be much better if we could get a few pounds of pork.

Xu Damao had also been to the black market and knew the current market price of pork.

Every morning, people in the compound would go to the vegetable market or the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up to buy pork, but only a few could buy it, and at most they could only buy one or two ounces, or even less.

"Although it's a hot commodity, what's the relationship between us? If you want, five pounds of pork for fifteen yuan, I'll get it for you in two days, and it's all tenderloin."

"That's very nice." Xu Damao looked excited.

Pork is three yuan a pound, and no ticket is required. Even the pork neck is something Xu Damao would consider buying. As for the tenderloin, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Pork neck meat is the meat on the pig's neck. This part has a large number of lymph nodes, thyroid glands, and blood stasis produced when the pig is slaughtered, which also contains a large amount of toxins. When the pig is sick, injections are usually given in the neck.

So, no one wants to eat pork neck.

However, food is in short supply nowadays, so even pork neck is a delicacy.

The conversation between Yan Jiekuang and Xu Damao was overheard, and soon several people came running over.

"Brother Yan, you can't be partial. You must accept these fifteen yuan and get me five kilograms of pork." Liu Guangfu.

"Jie Kuang, you have to help me too!"

Not long after, Sha Zhu and He Yu Shui also came running over.

Pork was three yuan a pound, which was not cheap, but without a ticket, it was not available even on the black market. Even if it was only pork neck, everyone was willing to buy it. Before long, the whole compound was alarmed.

Everyone surrounded Yan Jiekuang and scrambled to buy pork.

Yan Bugui, Yan's mother, Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li, Ding Qiunan and Yan Jiedi also knew about it.

"Pork is three yuan a pound, and no tickets are required. I'm losing money," said Yan Bugui.

"This third child..." Yan's mother sighed.

Yan Jiecheng also felt that Yan Jiekuang was wrong this time.

When Yan Jiekuang returned home, Yan Bugui was the first to talk about him.

"We are all neighbors, let's help as much as we can!" Yan Jiekuang said with a smile.

The Yan family often enjoyed a wealth of food and fish, which made others jealous. However, Yan Jiekuang's selling of pork at three yuan per pound could make the Yan family's situation much better.

"You are just a goody-goody." Yan's mother said unhappily.
