After the marriage was broken off, the whole village next door regretted it
Chapter 80 Selling Pork
When the butcher came to the door and saw the wild boar with its fur burnt to charcoal, his face turned black, "How can I kill it like this?"
Su Chunlin didn't care. "The wild boar's skin is thick, so the fire can't burn inside. Don't waste time. Hurry up!"
Under his urging, the butcher reluctantly took up the knife.
Three words: fast, accurate and ruthless.
Soon the wild boar was gutted.
The butcher confirmed that he had only burned the fur and left the pork untouched, and his expression finally looked better. After finishing the last cut, he lowered his voice and asked Su Chunlin in his ear, "Will you sell it?"
Su Chunlin raised his eyebrows, but neither nodded nor shook his head. Instead, he glanced at everyone and asked, "What's the price?"
The butcher compared two numbers.
Su Chunlin took a deep breath and shouted, "A pound of pork in this town costs forty cents, and it's probably going to go up to forty-five cents now. We have rare wild boar meat here! Is your offer of thirty-five cents appropriate? I'm telling you, I won't sell it for less than fifty cents!"
Su Chunlin looked as if he was not willing to negotiate. The butcher became so angry that his face turned red. He took the money and walked away with a huff.
Su Chunlin was very proud. He discussed with Shen Yi and Song Yongnian and decided to give Song Yongnian a pig's head and 80 kilograms of pork. He planned to sell the rest to the villagers at 40 cents per kilogram.
The weather is getting cold now, so the pork you buy can be frozen until the Spring Festival, and you can also save money to buy meat.
The villagers rushed to buy it, and all 160 kilograms of wild boar meat was divided up.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Chunlin sent the last villager away, barely closed his broken door, and then returned to the main room to settle accounts with Shen Yi.
Shen Yi spread the money from selling pork on the table and said, "I just counted it carefully, and there are 6,400 coins in total. I will give 3,200 coins to my father-in-law to repair the door, and I will take the rest."
Han shook her head and feigned anger, scolding, "Why are you so honest? This wild boar weighs 300 kilograms without the fur. We took out 40 kilograms to treat the villagers to the pig-killing meal, and there were 260 kilograms left. Originally, it should have been divided equally between you and Song Yongnian, but your father-in-law intervened and asked for compensation, so it was divided into three parts, all to get a little more for you.
You want to split it with us! We only destroyed a door, burned the wall and some firewood, so we only need a thousand coins at most! Take the rest with you!"
Su Chunlin nodded in agreement, very proudly, "Song Yongnian is the village chief's prospective son-in-law. If I don't say anything, you might suffer."
Shen Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Father-in-law, the village chief is not that kind of person. Besides, Song Yongnian also put in a lot of effort today."
Su Chunlin did not deny this. "So I gave him 80 kilograms of pork and a 20-kilogram pig's head. It's not a small amount! We still need to repair the doors and plaster the walls. You didn't get any advantage after all!"
"Alright, alright, let's just leave it at that!" Han stopped them from being polite, looked at the sky outside, and asked Shen Yi, "Do you plan to stay here for the night or go back?"
If Su Tai had come back with them, Han would definitely have asked someone to stay, but Shen Yi came alone, and her daughter was left alone at home, which made Han somewhat worried.
Shen Yi packed up his things and walked out without thinking, "Mother-in-law, I have to go back to accompany Xiaotai."
Han nodded with satisfaction, "Then drive slowly on the road. If you still have gas, come here earlier. You won't be so unlucky to run into a wild boar next time."
The couple personally sent Shen Yi to the village entrance, and immediately turned back to ask the villagers to help repair the gate.
Shen Yi hurried as hard as he could, but still couldn't return to Shenjiazhuang before dark. Fortunately, the snow was thick on that winter night, reflecting the light, so he could see the road more clearly.
Su Tai had been waiting in the main room and had not returned to her room. When she heard the noise outside the door, she immediately rushed over to open it.
Shen Yi was very surprised, "How did you know I was back?"
"I heard the sound of our donkey cart. Why did it take so long?" Su Tai looked worried. Suddenly she smelled the blood coming from Shen Yi and her expression changed suddenly. "Are you hurt?"
As she said that, she hurriedly reached out and groped Shen Yi's body.
Shen Yi pulled her back and comforted her, "I'm fine, this blood is not from me, maybe it was rubbed against me when I was hunting wild boars?"
"What's going on?" Su Tai breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed the gate and bolted it. Seeing Shen Yi going to the donkey shed, she hurried into the kitchen to light a fire and boil water.
The fish soup and vegetable dumplings were warming in the pot. By the time Shen Yi finished feeding the donkey, Su Tai had already been served steaming hot food.
Shen Yi washed his hands, took out the purse and handed it to Su Tai, then drank a big bowl of delicious fish soup.
At this time, Su Tai also dumped out the contents of her purse, looking shocked, "Why do I feel like this is too much money?"
Although she hasn't counted them in detail, she has been through this for so long that she still has some ability to estimate.
Shen Yi gave her a thumbs up and said, "You are right. Today, a wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms broke into my father-in-law's house. Song Yongnian and I killed it together and divided more than 5,000 coins. They refused to take the oil you prepared for your father-in-law and mother-in-law, so I persuaded them and accepted three taels of silver. I estimate that there are more than 32 taels here."
Su Tai's face turned pale, without any joy from making money. "Is anyone injured?"
Shen Yi shook his head, "Fortunately Song Yongnian discovered it in time. Oh, by the way, he is going to marry Su Yan."
"Huh?" Su Tai's attention was instantly diverted and she forgot the fear brought by the wild boar.
Shen Yi explained the situation in detail, and Su Tai's worry turned into joy in an instant. She said cheerfully, "So I have to prepare some makeup for Su Yan. When she almost married Sang Rong, I gave her a copper hairpin and a piece of fabric. I'm afraid she won't accept it if I give her something else this time. Why don't I get some fish for them?"
Shen Yi nodded after thinking about it. "We have a boat, so sending fish won't arouse suspicion. Besides, fish is expensive. The village chief's family will probably be very surprised when they see the gift. By the way, we can also spread the news that we sell fish. It's a good idea."
"That's what I thought!" Su Tai hurriedly put the money away, turned back and ran to the kitchen to scoop up some hot water and boil another pot.
My man has worked so hard, I must let him take a good bath and rest comfortably.
The couple worked until late at night.
The next day, Shen Yi still went out with 100 kilograms of peanut oil and 60 kilograms of soybean oil.
Su Tai started to compete with the fish in the water time and space. This time she bought two fishing nets and cast them around the fishing boat. She didn't believe that she couldn't generate income!
Time flies when she is busy, and she didn't even notice Shen Yi coming back.
When she appeared again with two buckets of fish, smoke was already rising from the kitchen.
Shen Yi looked at her energetic appearance and said with a smile: "But is it a good harvest?"
Su Tai narrowed her eyes and nodded wildly, "Today I caught five large carps weighing four or five kilograms, and seven crucian carps weighing two or three kilograms. In addition, there are a few fish that I don't recognize and I don't know if they can be eaten."
