Chapter 63: Managing the government relations
The market price of pork is 10 wen per pound of fat, 2 wen per pound of lean meat, 7 wen per pound of pig head, wen per pair of pig offal, wen per pound of pork bones, and wen per pound of ribs.
Yan Yiyi doesn't sell bones and ribs. Bones are suitable for making soup for her father-in-law to nourish his body, but she loves to eat ribs, so how could she bear to sell them at a low price?
When the villagers heard that Li Guizi's family was selling wild boar meat, and that it was 2 cents cheaper, those who had money rushed to buy more. It would be best to get the fat meat. If they couldn't get the fat meat, the lean meat was also good, at least it could satisfy their cravings.
So, the wild boar that was beaten beyond recognition by Yan Yiyi was divided up by the villagers, and Yan Yiyi gave the broken pig's head and offal to Aunt Qi.
Aunt Qi and her family had eaten the delicious pig offal dishes such as fried pork intestines and steamed rice noodles made by Xin Ye, so they didn't dislike pig offal at all. Moreover, the villagers all knew the situation of Aunt Qi's family, and they were on good terms with Xin Ye's family, so no one would say anything if they gave her some pig heads.
Aunt Qi did not refuse and planned to cook something tonight and take it to the Li family to add to the dishes to celebrate Brother Li's recovery.
The other stunned wild boar was bled while unconscious and died without any pain, which was considered a kind of luck.
Yan Yiyi filled a basin with blood and planned to ask Xin Ye to make blood sausage.
He kept half of the pork and asked Uncle Zhang to cut the remaining half of the coix seed into one-pound strips, intending to take them to the county to sell.
"Wife, you won't let me go with you!?" Xin Ye didn't expect that his wife would abandon him and go to the county alone.
Of course she couldn't let him follow her, otherwise how would she go to buy goods? Jie and Ke Bei were waiting for her pots and pans to exchange for supplies to make a fortune!
"Be good, you have to make blood sausage at home for dinner tonight. Pork is hard to sell if it's left overnight, and it's only half a pig. I'll be back soon after I sell it all."
Xin Ye thought so too, but he had been going out with his wife recently, so he thought she would take him with her.
"Okay, then remember to come back early."
"Of course. We are inviting guests to dinner tonight. I won't be late. I'll go earlier and come back earlier." As she said that, she put on the bamboo basket, waved at him, and strode out of the house.
The last time she went out was two months ago. During this time, she was either busy detoxifying her father-in-law or going up the mountain to look for herbs or seeds.
During this period, she exchanged a lot of good things, but she had no reason to take them out. She used things like shampoo, shower gel and skin care products secretly in the bathroom. Moreover, she was always the last one to take a shower, otherwise she would not be able to explain the source of the fragrance.
She had to use things secretly, which made her feel suffocated.
When passing by the paddy fields in Dashan Village, Yan Yiyi looked at the large field of yellow seedlings. The rice ears on them were not as heavy as the rice she had seen before the end of the world where she lived.
Xinye's family does not have paddy fields, so she has no plans to plant hybrid rice seeds for the time being, otherwise it would attract too much attention.
Yan Yiyi had no plan to go to the market to sell pork. She carried the pork directly to the county government office. The yamen runners on duty greeted her when they saw her coming.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Mrs. Li, I haven't seen you for two months. Are you here again to give our master and the master some 'specialties from home'?"
Yan Yiyi chuckled and said, "Yes, what was delivered today is the wild boar I hunted in the mountains today. I sold most of it to the villagers, but there is still a little left, so I'll give two kilograms to the two adults to try.
Brother Liu, Brother Gao, I still have several dozen kilograms here. If you want them, I can sell them to you at a discount of three cents. I sell fat meat for twelve cents, lean meat for ten cents, and pig head meat for seven cents per kilogram."
The two men's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they nodded repeatedly: "Okay, you carry it to the back door, and I'll go notify the other brothers to go over."
"Okay, thank you both for your hard work." Yan Yiyi grinned, turned and walked towards the small door.
Two months ago, she often came to the county, mainly to purchase goods for them, and also brought some mountain products to sell. When passing by the government office, she had an idea and wanted to thank the two kind uncles for helping her to get a marriage contract and household registration through the back door, so she gave them two pheasants.
A yamen runner saw the mushrooms she was carrying and asked her if she wanted to sell them. She naturally sold them, and then, considering that she wanted to make friends with them, she offered to give them a few cents off.
After the first time, there was a second time. Sometimes when they hunted too many pheasants and rabbits, they would sell them to the yamen runners at a low price, and also give some mountain specialties to the two officials.
Once again, she brought a wild boar to buy. That time, it was a newly-adult wild boar, not very big. She did not sell it to the villagers. In addition to keeping some for herself, she carried it on her back and sold it to the yamen runners.
The magistrate and the legal advisor knew about this and turned a blind eye to it. They investigated Li Xinye's family situation and found out that there was only him and his bedridden father in his family. He was a cripple and had no skills, and the family depended on his newly married young wife to support them.
Out of sympathy, they allowed her to sell the mountain products or game she hunted to the yamen runners. Moreover, this young lady was a grateful person and never forgot to give them gifts. They were not valuable and they could not refuse them.
She didn't give it to them in front of them. She asked the yamen runners to pass it on. She didn't ask them to do anything for her. Even if they ordered her not to give it, she would still give it to their house and they would have no choice but to accept it.
In order to save her from having to make an extra trip, they agreed to let the bailiff accept the money for them. If their family encountered any trouble in the future, they would help if they could.
After leaving the yamen, she went to the grocery store. The owner of the grocery store became familiar with her because she often made large purchases of bowls, plates, ceramics, etc.
After buying things, she went back in a ox cart. The people on the cart were women from other villages. They didn't know Yan Yiyi, so when they talked to her, she ignored them. She thought they were boring and turned around to chat with other people.
When she arrived at the small road entrance to the Dashan Village, she jumped off the ox cart, paid the fare, carried the bamboo basket and walked into the small road. After walking for a while and making sure that there was no one around, she put the contents of the bamboo basket into the warehouse.
Then she took out a bag of rice and a bag of flour from the warehouse. She bought these rice and flour from Ni Ni. The ordinary rice and flour of that era were not as snow-white and flawless as those in later generations. They were similar to those in the 1960s and 1970s.
Ni Ni is cooking alone now, so she doesn't need to hide from others. She buys high-quality rice from others, and what she sells to Yan Yiyi is the ration given to her by the brigade.
In fact, if you count the points, the price of rice in Zhaoguo is almost the same as that in Ni Ni's place. They are just deliberately trying to increase each other's points. Ni Ni doesn't have many items to trade, and food is one of them.
Using points to purchase things can earn experience points. She has no shortage of points now, but she lacks experience points for upgrading. Therefore, she doesn't want to spend money to buy things that can be purchased with points.
