After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry
Chapter 51 Selling Pork
She warned Jiang Xiaohe: "Then don't use this hand. Go help your second aunt."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded.
Over there, Zhang Fu was carrying a bucket to fetch water from the backyard.
Zhang Daniu also went to help.
Jiang Xiaohe first lit the fire in the stove, and then helped to clean up the yard so that she could slaughter the pig later.
As soon as the water boiled, Zhang Daniu filled a bucket with water and poured it into a large wooden basin in the yard. Only half of the wild boar's body could fit into the basin.
Then he quickly turned the pig over.
After the pig's entire body was scalded, the three of them worked together to hang it on a tree in the yard. Zhang Quan had already prepared the tools and started to scrape the pig's hair.
Zeng Hua and Wang Qiuxia came over with the food ready, but Zhang Quan and Zhang Fu waited until all the pig hair was shaved clean before they could eat with clean hands. Otherwise, it would be difficult to shave if the temperature dropped.
After the meal, everyone worked together to clean up the pork.
Zhang Fu looked at Jiang Xiaohe: "Daughter-in-law, what should we do next?"
Jiang Xiaohe looked at Zhang Quan: "Uncle, I remember you have a cart?"
Zhang Quan nodded.
"We'll use it for a while and push the pork into town. We'll sell it to restaurants. It doesn't matter if it's cheaper, as long as we can sell it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Daniu immediately said, "Then I'll go push the cart."
The internal organs would not be taken to the restaurant to sell, as they would not fetch much money, so Jiang Xiaohe kept them for herself. Looking at the pork fat, Jiang Xiaohe thought about it and decided to keep them.
"What's the point of keeping this? It can be sold for a lot of money." Wang Qiuxia said.
Jiang Xiaohe comforted her, "Mom, if we sell it, it won't be worthwhile to spend more money to buy it back later."
After that, he said to Zeng Hua, "This pig fat will be shared equally between my family and my second uncle and second aunt's family. It will be enough to last until the New Year."
Zeng Hua quickly refused: "No, no, no, we don't want it. You brought this pig back. We are just helping out."
"Second Aunt is wrong. If it weren't for Da Niu here today, this pig would have depended on me or my father. The two of us can't get it back! Well, let's not talk about anything else. Just listen to me. Let's transport this pig to town first."
Everyone nodded.
Zhang Daniu also came back with his cart. Jiang Xiaohe asked Zhang Fu to cut off a piece of meat. "Mom, Dad and I will go to town later. You can take this piece of meat to the village chief. He has helped us a lot these days. We should be grateful."
Wang Qiuxia was originally worried about such a big piece of meat, but after hearing what Jiang Xiaohe said, she nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Be careful on the road and come back early."
The people in the village who had not yet rested were filled with envy as they watched them leave the village.
Wang Qiuxia took Zeng Hua along the way to deliver meat to the village chief's house.
When the village chief's wife, Sun Yanhong, saw such a big piece of meat, she smiled so hard that her eyes almost disappeared! She kept saying that they were very thoughtful, and when they left, she even gave them a small bag of snacks from her own home.
On the way back, Zeng Hua smiled and said, "When have I ever seen Sun Yanhong be so generous?"
But that's not it.
Zeng Hua smiled and said, "Actually, Xiao He is the one who knows how to do things. I feel bad for having to deliver such a big piece of meat."
Wang Qiuxia sighed: "Who said it wasn't..."
When they returned to the house, there were three women there, waiting for them to come back.
When she arrived at the town, it was already dark and it was getting late, so she was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to sell the pork.
I found the restaurant that sold snake meat in the morning. I saw that the light was still on on the second floor of the restaurant, so it was obviously still open for business.
She breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness.
He quickly asked the three people to push the cart to the door of the restaurant.
I took the initiative to go up and say hello. It happened to be the morning waiter, so the waiter no longer looked down on me.
"I'll go get our shopkeeper for you now."
The shopkeeper came slowly and was surprised when he saw Jiang Xiaohe: "Why are you coming to town so late, girl?" But then he saw a cart being pushed behind her.
"Is this something good?"
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "I went into the mountains this afternoon and accidentally killed a wild boar. I have processed the fur. I wonder if the shopkeeper will take it in?"
"Oh? Wild boar? Let me take a look."
As he spoke, he walked to the side of the cart and lifted the straw mat covering it. There was really meat. He sniffed and knew that it was indeed wild boar meat!
"This is too much for us. We can't even eat it all in the restaurant."
This old fox wants to lower the price again.
How could Jiang Xiaohe not know what he was thinking? A restaurant as big as this one should have its own ice cellar.
"Give it as you see fit, shopkeeper. Just don't let us suffer any loss."
The shopkeeper stroked his beard and said, "How about this? Ten cents a pound, and I'll take it all."
In this market, domestic pigs are sold at fifteen cents per pound, not to mention that this is a wild boar. He cut the price by one third right away. Jiang Xiaohe felt that he was taking advantage of her because she didn't understand.
"Boss, if you give me this price, we won't be able to talk about this business. At worst, I can stay up tonight and wait for tomorrow morning with my father and others in the town, and I can sell more silver."
He waved his hand and told Zhang Fu and the others to leave.
Zhang Fu and Zhang Quan were unable to move, but Zhang Daniu was very obedient. When Jiang Xiaohe told him to leave, he immediately pushed the cart and left.
The shopkeeper saw that she was really about to leave, so he immediately called her back and said, "Miss, we can still negotiate the price, right?"
Jiang Xiaohe turned around and said, "Don't cheat me with the money given by the shopkeeper. Although I am a woman, I have also dealt in this market before!"
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Of course, of course."
Then he looked at the meat again and nodded slightly: "Well, I'll give you fifteen cents per pound. This is the market price. If you want to pay more than this price, Yu Mou really can't help it."
It turned out that his last name was Yu. Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Deal."
When Shopkeeper Yu saw that she agreed, he turned to the waiter and said, "Take them out through the back door and have Master Li weigh them."
The waiter nodded and immediately took his people to the backyard.
Jiang Xiaohe stayed in the front yard and talked to Manager Yu.
"Manager Yu, your business is really good. We have been here all the way and all the shops in the town are closed, but your restaurant is still open."
After she said that, Shopkeeper Yu was naturally happy, but he still said honestly: "It's all thanks to the big snake that the young lady caught this morning. The Chang family in town invited guests to dinner today, and the guests specifically wanted to eat snake meat. Our restaurant is the only one in the town that has it, so they've been eating it until now."
Chang family? Could it be the Chang family she was thinking of?
Jiang Xiaohe shrank her neck, really not wanting to run into that scoundrel again.
After a while, Zhang Fu and his men came back pushing a cart.
The waiter told the shopkeeper Yu the weight, and after paying the money, Jiang Xiaohe left with his group.
When I left, Chang Wei and a few of his friends were coming down from upstairs, and some of them were a little drunk.
Chang Wei looked at the disappearing figure and felt familiar with it. He frowned slightly and sobered up a little. He asked Shopkeeper Yu, "Who were those people who just left?"
Shopkeeper Yu smiled and replied, "I am doing business with you. How are you, Mr. Chang and your friends? I just bought some wild boar meat. You can come over anytime you want to eat."
When Chang Wei heard him say that he was doing business with him, he instantly felt that he had definitely made a mistake.
He nodded: "Okay, okay, today's snake feast is great, I will definitely come back to taste your wild boar meat some other day." After that, he threw out a silver ingot: "The extra money will be your reward."
After saying that, he and a few friends left with their arms around each other.
Shopkeeper Yu took the silver and was very happy. He sent the person to the door, then closed the shop and prepared to take a break.
