Chapter 247 No Money, Let’s Partner Up
The five wild boars weigh less than 500 kilograms in total. Excluding the bones and offal, the meat alone is estimated to be only more than 200 kilograms.
Because the smaller the pig, the lower the meat yield. Let's put it this way! If a pig grows to nearly 500 kilograms, the meat alone will be about 300 to 400 kilograms.
But even if the meat yield is low, there are still more than 200 kilograms. In this case, there is absolutely no problem for each family to get 2 kilograms of meat. As for the offal, of course it should be given to the people who helped kill the pig. This is the rule.
"Okay then, just listen to Jiayi, Aiguo. Go find the captain and tell him to bring some people over to take the wild boar away."
"Okay Dad, I'll go right away."
The uncle agreed and went to find the captain.
In about twenty minutes, about ten people from the village came over, including the team leader.
"Uncle Lao Gen, I would like to thank you on behalf of all the villagers," said the team leader.
"You're thanking the wrong person. These wild boars have nothing to do with me. They were hunted by my three grandsons in the mountains."
"Ah!" The captain looked at Li Jiayi and the other three, turned his head and said, "Aiguo, why didn't you tell me?"
Li Aiguo curled his lips and said, "You should give me a chance to speak! I just told you that I had a few wild boars and asked you to get someone to bring them over to divide them, and you ran out to find someone."
"Ugh!" The captain was stunned for a moment, patted his forehead and said, "Blame me, blame me."
"Jiayi, Chengqian, Chenghou, uncle thanks you guys. With these wild boars, the villagers can have meat to eat during the New Year."
"Hey, Uncle Captain, you are so polite. We all have the same ancestors and we are all family."
"Yes, yes, we are all family."
Others may not know how much Li Jiayi has done for the village, but the team leader knows it very well!
However, in order to keep it secret for Li Jiayi, only a very few people knew about it, and those who knew would not tell anyone.
"Okay, take it back and let someone deal with it!" said Li Laogen.
"Okay, Uncle Lao Gen."
"Uncle captain, please wait a moment." Li Jiayi shouted.
"Jia Yi, what else do you want?"
"It's like this, my grandfather likes to eat pig heads, so when the meat is divided, my grandfather and uncle don't share it, and just keep the two big pig heads for my grandfather."
"Hey, that's it! The meat should be divided, and the pig's head should be kept for Uncle Lao Gen."
"Uncle Captain, it's really not necessary. When I came here, I brought some meat to my grandfather and uncle's house. Let's share it with the villagers!"
"Okay, let's do as Jiayi said." said the old man.
The captain thought about it, nodded and said, "Uncle Lao Gen, I understand."
Then the captain took his men to carry the wild boar away.
After the captain and his men left, the uncle asked, "Jiayi, you just said we were going to share the meat, why don't we want it?"
"Uncle, wild boar meat tastes terrible. We have good meat to eat, why do we need it?"
"You kid, no matter how bad it tastes, it's still meat!"
Li Jiayi felt helpless when he heard his uncle say this, but he could understand it.
In this time of extreme material scarcity, let alone the bad meat, as long as it is meat, people will eat it no matter how bad it tastes.
"Well, Jiayi brought so much meat this time. Even if we eat meat every day, we still can't finish it after the New Year. There are so many families in the village. Even if we divide it up, how much can we get?"
"Aiguo, your father is right, we don't want it. Bring the pig's head back and mom will cook it for you."
"All right!"
Li Jiayi took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was a few minutes before two o'clock, so he said to his grandparents, "It's almost two o'clock, grandpa and grandma, I should go back, otherwise it will be dark when I get home."
"Oh, grandson, are you leaving today?" Grandma pulled Li Jiayi reluctantly.
"Grandma, I have things to do when I get back. I'll come back to see you and Grandpa during the Chinese New Year and stay here for a few days."
"Well, be careful on the road then."
"Don't worry, grandma. I have Ah Sheng and the others, and I also have a gun. There will be no danger."
"Okay, okay, but you still have to be careful."
"Got it, grandma."
Li Jiayi called Asheng and the others over and harnessed them, then said hello to his grandparents, uncle, aunt, cousins and left.
When they were some distance away from the village, Li Jia put away the big sled, replaced it with a small sled and headed towards the city.
And this time Li Jiayi did not plan to return the same way. After knowing that the river had dried up, he prepared to cross the river and return to the city from Mentougou.
In this way, you can save almost half the time and there is no need to take a long detour.
More than an hour later, Li Jiayi entered the city from Xizhimen.
For the next ten days, Li Jiayi did not go to the Pigeon Market again. Not to mention selling wild boar meat, he did not even go to sell sweet potatoes.
In the past ten days, he only provided meat and food to Long Ye and Wu Ye in the black market.
He also sent ten large wild boars to the woolen mill. In the rest of the time, he went shopping at various trust stores in the imperial capital.
This time he not only bought famous watches and antiques, but also a lot of valuable furniture.
Every time he would ask the trust store to deliver the items to the yard that Master Wu had found for him, and then he would go over and put them away in his space.
As a result, he had nearly two million in cash, including the money he earned from selling pork before going to his grandmother's house, but now he had less than two hundred thousand left.
He spent all the money on expensive furniture and antiques, as well as a few famous watches.
This is because he bought carefully, otherwise he would not have enough money.
Don’t say that things are cheap in this era, good things are really not cheap.
And this is in difficult times, otherwise the price may be more than doubled. It can be said that Li Jiayi made a lot of money. The consequence of spending so much money is that various trust stores will not be able to have good things in a short period of time.
But it didn't matter. He just didn't have much money left, so he could take advantage of this time to get some more money and continue buying.
Today is the Little New Year in the north, and it is also the first day of the woolen mill holiday. Yes, the workload this year is not heavy, so the holiday was started a few days earlier.
Of course, this is only the holiday time for the woolen mill. Some other factories have already had their holidays, while others have not yet.
On the day of Xiaonian, we have to do a thorough cleaning! The whole family got up early in the morning.
Li Jiayi lit the fireplace first, then had breakfast. After breakfast, the whole family started to get busy.
Li Jiayi cleaned his room by himself. Because the division of labor was clear, it only took him two hours to clean it completely.
The annual general cleaning must of course be done carefully, including every nook and cranny.
After cleaning, Li Jiayi lit up the sauna room and took a good bath and changed his clothes.
"Add one!"
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Go check if your uncle Liao has finished cleaning. If he has, ask him to come over and have a sauna together."
"Dad, there's no need to ask. It's probably been cleaned up a long time ago. Even if Uncle Liao doesn't do anything, Aunt Wenwen can clean it up."
In fact, it is very simple, because Liao Kai's family only has one house, which is only 16 square meters in size, which is the same size as the east wing of their house.
It’s such a small place, isn’t it difficult to clean?
"Then go ask!"
"okay."
Li Jiayi agreed and ran out, and soon arrived at Liao Kai's door.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Li Jiayi knocked on the door.
Things are different now than before. When Liao Kai lived alone, Li Jiayi never knocked on the door when he came. He just pushed it open and went in.
But now he couldn't! Now there was one more person, and he was afraid that if he pushed the door open and walked in, he would see something inappropriate for children.
The door opened quickly and it was Liao Kai who opened it.
"Jiayi, you are..."
"Uncle Liao, I've turned on the sauna room. I came to ask you if you want to join me in the sauna?"
"Yes! Of course. I just wanted to go over and ask if we should steam it after the cleaning."
"Then why didn't you go?"
"I'm just wondering if we can get together at night." After saying that, Liao Kai scratched his head.
"Okay, don't think about it now." Li Jiayi spread his hands.
"That's right." Liao Kai nodded and said, "You go back first. I'll pack some clothes and go over with your aunt later."
"Ok!"
When Li Jiayi returned home, the sauna room was almost heated up, and the water in the two large oil barrels was full.
Li Jiayi quickly lit the fire again. Anyway, he would steam first and then take a bath, so it was still in time to light the fire now.
Just as I washed the coal dust off my hands, Liao Kai walked in with Xu Wenwen.
"Add one, everything done?" Liao Kai asked.
"It will be ready soon. You and your aunt can go inside and warm up first."
"Row."
When they got to the house, Liao Kai put down the clothes he had brought, pulled Xu Wenwen to sit down, and said, "Brother Li, your house is still very comfortable! Not to mention cotton clothes, you don't even need to wear a coat."
In fact, Liao Kai also wanted to install a fireplace, but his house was too small, with only one room that served as both a bedroom and a living room, so there was really no room for a fireplace.
"Of course, this fireplace is very warm." Li Aimin said arrogantly.
"Brother Li, please stop it. I remember you didn't allow me to repair the fireplace."
"I didn't allow it to be repaired, but my son got it repaired anyway, didn't he?"
"Sister-in-law, have they always been like this?" Xu Wenwen asked Ye Xin.
"Yeah!" Ye Xin nodded.
Liao Kai turned to Ye Xin and said, "Sister-in-law, how about discussing something with you?"
"what's up?"
"During this holiday, Wenwen and I will stay at your house. We will provide the food and tickets, and I will take care of the meals."
"I have no problem."
"I agree." Li Jiayi raised his hand first and said.
Xu Wenwen pushed Liao Kai and said, "How shameless you are! What can you come up with?"
Family members know their own affairs. Their family has nothing! In addition to some food, there is only some bacon left.
And she knew that Li Jia's family basically didn't eat bacon, they only ate fresh meat.
Well, who wants to eat bacon when there is fresh meat?
"It's okay, auntie. Our family doesn't lack that. What we lack is a good cook."
PS: Please give me a monthly ticket and recommendation ticket! Thank you!
