Chapter 173 The Stepmother Is Here
This time Xiangyang Village shot a large wild boar and four small wild boars. One of the small wild boars was taken away by the village chief. No one except the old village chief knew where the small wild boar was taken by Li Huan.
But no one dared to criticize, because everyone knew that Li Huan had killed these five wild boars by himself. If they took them all away, there would be nothing they could do.
Since the big boar was sold to the national purchasing station, Li Huan from Xiangyang Village became famous. The head of Xiangyang Village and the person in charge of the national purchasing station came to Li Huan to discuss when to go up the mountain again.
But Li Huan refused. He pointed at the snow that was beginning to flutter and fall in the sky. In this kind of weather, organizing people to go hunting in the mountains is definitely a dead end, especially ordinary people who have no hunting experience at all.
"Comrade Li Huan, let's open the skylight and speak out. We are in urgent need of pork here, but it is approaching the end of the year and the supply of pork is really not enough. Look..."
"This leader, I am also a clever woman who can't make a living without rice. Pork is such a scarce thing, but human life is more valuable than pork. I can't make fun of human life."
"I know this. If you don't hunt, you won't hunt. But I heard that you killed five pigs this time and sold us one big one and four small ones."
"The leader is the leader, and he is really well informed. We have four piglets, one alive and we need to raise them ourselves, and we may not be able to distribute the other three piglets ourselves in the village."
"Give me another head, no, just half a head. Comrade Li Huan, you are the village chief. You must shoulder the great cause of the Chinese nation and have the blood of patriotism in your heart."
Li Huan:"……"
Chen Weidang sat on the edge and became uneasy. He hated the person who betrayed the information. If he knew who leaked the information, he would definitely skin him.
A piglet, skinned and gutted, weighs only 30 to [-] kilograms. Each of the more than [-] people in the village who participated in the hunt received two kilograms of pork. The remaining pork was cooked into butchered vegetables and has long since entered the stomachs of the villagers.
There were also two piglets, one was raised alive by Uncle Niu, and the other was disemboweled on the same day, and all were sold to the villagers at the price of [-] cents per catty.
So where can they get half a head of wild boar meat to the person in charge of this purchasing station, and Chen Weidang knows this person in charge very well. If the meat is in his hands, it will definitely appear on the black market.
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Li Huan could only rub his hands and ask Shouhou to buy forty pounds of pork and deliver it to the person in charge. Although he lost money, he could save a small debt of gratitude.
"Actually, it's like this. Wild boar meat is definitely not as delicious as domestic pork, so I asked a friend to exchange the remaining [-] kilograms of wild boar meat for domestic pork. I will ask him to deliver it to you when the time comes."
The person in charge's eyes lit up. Domestic pork was more expensive than wild boar. He nodded in agreement and left the village committee with a smile. Chen Weidang's face was gloomy. He knew that Li Huan was going to lose his own money to fix this loophole.
"Huan Zai, it's all because of my incompetence. When I find out who revealed the news, I will never let him go."
Li Huan shook his head. There were so many people in the village, so what if they were found out? If you suffer a loss, you will gain wisdom. If you encounter such a thing in the future, just prepare in advance.
"I called Shouhou and asked him to get [-] pounds of pork. Anyway, I lost [-] to [-] cents per pound of pork, which is only half a month's salary."
"I pay half."
"Okay, then it's settled. Don't worry, old village chief. There will be many ways for us to make money in the future, so there's no need to worry."
Chen Weidang sighed. This child was so angry. Farmers could not make money except digging for food in the fields. Even the wild boar they shot this time had more luck.
When Shouhou received the call from Li Huan, he almost couldn't believe his ears, but he was also a person who often ran outside, so he didn't understand what the person in charge of the acquisition station was thinking.
Because they work secretly and secretly, they can only have a good relationship with such people, otherwise they will be exposed one day and they will suffer the consequences.
The snow was getting heavier and the weather was getting colder. Li Huan rang the village gong again. It was finally time to distribute food and money in Xiangyang Village. Once the food was distributed, the whole village would enter the cat winter period.
Sure enough, although the price of food has not increased this year, in previous years, men could share 360 jins, and women and children could share 280 jins. This year, both were reduced by half.
In other words, men can get a maximum of 340 two kilograms, while women and children can only get 260 six kilograms. Shi Qiu and others wanted to get angry, but when they saw the earthen barn that Li Huan was carrying, they all kept their mouths shut.
"Folks, everyone knows about this year's harvest. It is impossible to share enough food like last year. However, we have achieved great success in hunting this year, so we can use this to make up for the shortfall."
"How to make up for it? This is the food. I would rather have food than money."
"That's right, it's approaching the end of the year, and the grain at the grain station has long been sold out. If you want grain, you can only buy it on the black market, which is extremely expensive."
While the villagers were chattering, Chen Weidang appeared, followed by several young men pushing a flatbed truck filled with bags of grain.
"Grain, is it coarse grain or fine grain?"
"My dear, there must be at least several thousand kilograms of food here. Could it be that Huan Zai got it."
The villagers looked at the arrogant look of a dozen young men pushing flatbed trucks, and they were a little confused, but most of them guessed the reason.
"Folks, the big boar and the little pig sold for 190 yuan this year. I replaced them with sorghum rice. If you don't have enough food, you can buy it with money. Sorghum rice costs three cents a pound. If you want to buy it, register and it will be sold out. Yes."
Li Huan picked up the loudspeaker again and chirped. Except for the whistling of the north wind, the whole place was silent.
"Huan Zai, thank you."
Aunt Wang was the first to stand up. Everyone knew that because there was not enough food this year, the villagers in Xiangxiang Village next door were already going crazy. The food that was not enough to eat was now even more stretched.
As for the villagers in Xiangyang Village, they exchanged the money for hunting wild boars for food. These are all due to Li Huan. Without Li Huan, they would definitely be like the villagers in Xiangyang Village. Everyone must eat again for every meal. Eat one less bite.
The lively food distribution has begun, and most people in Xiangyang Village are happy. There is food in the cellar, wild boar meat buried under the snow in the yard, and boiled lard. There is no need to worry about celebrating the New Year this year.
Just when everyone was happily carrying food and heading home, a woman wearing a red scarf came to the village entrance and asked people where the educated youth spots were.
