Chapter 50: Add one to share the meat, someone will be uncomfortable
"Okay uncle, go ahead!" Li Jiayi said quickly.
He couldn't delay others from making money to support their families. Besides, now that they were already in the hospital, it would be easy to get them back.
Besides, it is very likely that he won’t need to worry about it anymore, as someone else will do it for him.
Ying Jiasheng didn't let him wait for long. He said five minutes, but it was less than five minutes.
The three of them came to the front yard together. When they saw such a big wild boar, Shen Yongcai's face turned ugly.
He is a money-loving and greedy person. It would be strange if his face could be good after taking out so much money at once.
Ying Jiasheng didn't care, because he had a high salary! He had just passed the assessment and became a seventh-level fitter, earning 84.5 yuan a month.
Although his family has five people, don't forget that his son also has a salary! Added together, it's more than 100 yuan a month.
It can be said that the family has quite a bit of savings, and a hundred dollars is nothing to him.
In fact, Shen Yongcai is similar. Although his salary is not high, he loves money and is greedy for money!
The family also has a lot of savings, possibly even more than Ying Jiasheng's family.
As for Peng Zhanquan, he doesn't care. He is not so obsessed with money because what he likes is power, otherwise he would not report or tell tales for no reason.
"What do you two think we should do?" Ying Jiasheng asked.
"What else can I do? Just buy it. If I don't, there's nowhere else to buy it!" said Peng Zhanquan.
"You're talking nonsense, but this is three hundred yuan!" Shen Yongcai said.
Peng Zhanquan retorted: "You didn't pay the three hundred yuan alone. Besides, you are still short of the hundred yuan?"
Hearing what Peng Zhanquan said, Shen Yongcai stopped talking and turned to look at Li Jiayi and said, "Jiayi! How about this? Just sell it to us at the price you paid for it, 280 yuan, okay?"
His words made Ying Jiasheng and Peng Zhanquan embarrassed. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but this was Li Jiayi!
Sure enough, Li Jiayi did not disappoint them.
"Shen Yongcai, you are dreaming. I paid for the transportation, so why would I give it to you for free? Do you want it or not? If not, don't delay me while I get someone to clean it up."
"Yes, yes, we want it." Peng Zhanquan said quickly.
Peng Zhanquan likes power, so he dare not offend Director Xu. Although Director Xu is only the director of the street office, all the factories nearby know her.
One could even say that he was trying to curry favor with her, not because of anything else, but because of the housing shortage.
Director Xu's words meant that he might never have power in his life, and he couldn't accept that.
"If you want it, just take the money and stop making such a fuss."
Li Jiayi received the money very quickly and put it into his schoolbag, which was actually put into the space.
"Someone come and help carry it to the backyard." Li Jiayi shouted.
Ji Hui, who lived in the back house at the western end of the front yard, came out and helped carry a wild boar leg.
"Brother Hui, I'll give you an extra half pound of meat later." Li Jiayi said.
"No, no need."
"Okay, let's talk about it later."
After Liao Kai and his friends carried the pig to the backyard, Li Jiayi said to Ying Jiasheng and his friends, "Can you please go to the next yard and borrow the big pot?"
Borrowing a pot is not free, it costs money. Although it is not much, only one dollar at a time, it is still money.
Li Jiayi's words made the three of them feel helpless! But they had no choice, because Director Xu had said at the time that Li Jiayi was fully responsible for the distribution of the meat.
Watching the three of them go out to borrow the pot, Li Jiayi also walked towards the backyard.
Fortunately, the temporary stove built last time is still there, which saves a lot of effort.
"Uncle Liao, do you need my help?" Li Jiayi came over and asked.
"No, just go and rest, leave this to us."
"Okay, they've gone to borrow the pot and will be back soon."
Li Jiayi told Liao Kai about it, otherwise Liao Kai would have to pay for it himself, which was not what he wanted to see. "Okay! Got it." Liao Kai nodded.
Just as Li Jiayi thought, Ying Jiasheng and the other three quickly brought in the big pot.
Liao Kai and his colleagues quickly boiled water, added water, and lit a fire, and started working in full swing.
"Jiayi, why did you bring back another wild boar?"
Li Aimin and Ye Xin came back a little late today. Of course, even if they got off work with others, they would still come back later than others.
The main reason was that Li Aimin’s legs were not fast enough to walk, and as for Ye Xin, of course she came back with him.
"Dad, this is no longer ours. I was asked to sell this wild boar to Ying Jiasheng and the other two."
"Don't be disrespectful, little brat."
"Oh, got it."
In just a moment, Li Aimin understood what was going on, so he didn't say anything else. He pulled Ye Xin and went back to the East Courtyard.
More people means more work! In just an hour, the wild boar was taken care of, which was faster than last time.
The main thing is that there are three people this time, while last time there was only Liao Kai, so of course it is much faster.
By this time, the backyard was already full of people, all waiting to divide the meat. It could be said that many families hadn't even cooked yet.
Fortunately, it is summer now and it is not dark yet, otherwise it would be very troublesome.
After all, you can’t see clearly after dark.
"Uncle Liao, you weigh the meat and I'll cut the meat."
"Okay, but let's add one. Why don't we weigh all the meat first to see how many pounds it is, and then divide it up."
"Yes, yes, yes, I would have forgotten it if you hadn't told me."
With the help of two apprentices, they quickly weighed the meat and found that the total weight was 267 kilograms.
There were a total of 127 people in the courtyard, both big and small, so the average weight per person was 2.1 jin.
"I just calculated that each person has 2.1 jin. Those whose names I call can come and get the meat. Let me make it clear that you should report the number of people in your family. If anyone reports more than the number, then they can't take the meat."
Li Jiayi held a knife and stood in front of the door where the meat was placed.
"Ying Jiasheng."
When Ying Jiasheng heard Li Jiayi call his name first, he was happy for a moment, because the first piece of meat to be shared must be good meat!
Unfortunately, he was happy too early, because Li Jiayi directly cut off a large piece of meat from his neck.
This made Ying Jiasheng's face darken instantly, but he couldn't say anything.
Because most people in this hospital are very selfish, there has to be someone who wants this neck meat. If he doesn't want it, he will probably give it to someone else.
According to his experience, if he dared to say no, Li Jiayi would definitely let everyone vote by raising their hands.
It will be his by then, so he has no choice but to take it.
"Uncle Liao, is that enough?"
"It's still a little over a pound."
Li Jiayi cut a little more and added it to the total, and finally it was enough for 10.5 jin, but the scale was a little low.
"Shen Yongcai."
Li Jiayi cut it again. Although this was not the neck meat anymore, it was the meat behind the neck, which was the front leg.
This would be fine in later generations because there would be more lean meat, but in this era, what people dislike most is lean meat.
