Qi Shufang returned along the same road, passing through Xishan, it was already evening, seeing that it was getting dark, she stepped up her bicycle, walked towards the way home for half a minute, and unintentionally let go of her mental power, and suddenly found that there were four wild boars foraging in front of the dense forest halfway up the mountainside!

Wild boar!

It turned out to be wild boars, and there were several!

Qi Shufang quickly turned around, rode to the foot of the mountain and stopped, locked the bicycle, and went straight to the halfway point of the mountain with the basket on her back.

How could she forget that wild boars are omnivores and only come out at dusk to feed.

Qi Shufang was very annoyed.

The largest boar's skull shattered and fell to the ground, causing the other three boars to run on a rampage, and for a while they did not run down the mountain, but ran into the dense forest. Qi Shufang didn't even know how to transport this wild boar back, so she kindly let go of the three and came back to them another day.

How could this wild boar be transported back? Qi Shufang was worried.

This wild boar weighs three or four hundred catties, and its weight is not lighter than the two wild boars the day before yesterday, and it is estimated that it is a little heavier. It was enough to turn it in once, because she wanted more food, and now she wants to build a house, and she is short of money and does not plan to hand it in.

When I stopped riding, I tied the boar to the bicycle and pushed it back. This kind of bicycle is very sturdy, can withstand three or four hundred catties, Qi Shufang saw that the eldest uncle had brought food on a bicycle, and even people brought three or four hundred catties of food.

Qi Shufang made a decision, dragged the wild boar away from the local area, went to the stream, and simply moved his hands neatly.

The knife brought from home was not a sharp knife for slaughtering, Qi Shufang overcame a difficult situation, and showed the skill of Ku Ding to solve the cow, cut the wild boar into two fans, the bones and ribs were not picked out first, and the edible ones were picked up in the water and kept, and they were roughly cleaned with the stream water, tied the hemp rope and hung it on the handlebar, and the two and a half wild boars were placed horizontally in the back seat, tied round and round.

Qi Shufang was afraid that people would see the clues, before binding, some dry branches and thatch were placed horizontally on the inside of the hemp rope outside the wild boar, and few people came out after dark, and she used her mental power to finally avoid everyone and arrived home safely.

Tense up all the way, and at first glance, Qi Shufang felt very tired.

Even though she was very tired, she quickly put the iron pot on the stove, lit a kerosene lamp, boiled water, and carefully poured the black skin of half of the wild boar, and shaved the pig's hair clean while it was hot.

After boiling two pots of boiling water, the two and a half wild boars lost their hair, Qi Shufang first took out the backbone and ribs, and then the pig's head, pig's tail, pig's trotters and pig's knuckle were divided one by one, and the pig's leg bones followed out, and the rest was meat. Wild boar meat is mostly lean, not much fat, there are still some, just at home there is no oil, no ticket can not buy lard and vegetable oil, Qi Shufang will find out the clean sand pot, half of the fat is removed and put into the pot, white flowers, very attractive.

Qi Shufang kept half a pork rib, two elbows, a hind leg meat, and a large piece of rib meat, and the rest was divided into pieces and put into two bamboo baskets, and the next day before dawn they were hung on both sides of the back seat of the bicycle and transported into the county seat.

According to the address said by Director Mao, Qi Shufang came to the back of the department store and knocked on the door of the third one.

It was a middle-aged woman who opened the door, "Who are you looking for?"

"May I ask Comrade Mao Hongjun if he lives here? I told him yesterday that I will visit him today. Qi Shufang also knows that accommodation in the city is relatively tight, and often several families live in the same courtyard, and each family has a two-room room.

"Oh" The middle-aged woman leaned sideways to let her in, pointed to the two east wings and said, "His house is there, and it's time to get up now." ”

She shouted at the top of her voice, and Qi Shufang saw the door of the east wing open, and Director Mao walked out sleepily, his hair was very messy, but fortunately he was dressed neatly.

"Comrade Qi Shufang, you are here, please come in, please come in. Seeing Qi Shufang, Director Mao was shocked, welcomed her in with a happy face, and even pushed the bicycle into the house, and then said to an old woman and a middle-aged woman in the house: "Mom, Honghua, this is the Comrade Qi Shufang I said." ”

"Really, comrade, did you bring it?" Mao's mother was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, not daring to say what to bring, but carefully closed the door of the house, looking very cautious, for fear of being noticed by the neighbors.

Director Mao Hongjun introduced to Qi Shufang that the middle-aged woman was his lover, named Zhao Honghua, who was also the accountant of the machinery factory. As an accountant, Zhao Honghua was shrewd and capable, hurriedly took a bowl and poured brown sugar water for Qi Shufang, and said with a concerned face: "Comrade Shufang, how much game did you bring?"

Qi Shufang stopped the bicycle, uncovered the lid of the bamboo basket, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that God knows that I am going to visit Director Mao's house, and on the way back, I happened to encounter a wild boar that fell into the trap I dug. You see how much you want, pick one first, and I'll sell the rest to the buying station. ”

Yesterday, it was inevitable that the words were prickly, but today it is harmonious, gentle and gentle, which is very different from before.

Hearing that it was a wild boar, Mao Hongjun's mother and son and Zhao Honghua suddenly trembled with joy, and hurriedly looked into the bamboo basket with Qi Shufang's movements, and sure enough, it was a large piece of wild boar.

Mao's mother didn't say a word, and said, "It's all about it, it's all about it." ”

"Mom, there are hundreds of catties, we all want them?" Zhao Honghua was a little reluctant, just forget about the water and ribs, the price will be cheaper, the meat is five and ten catties, and more than two hundred catties is more than three hundred yuan, which is equivalent to her husband's salary for several months.

Zhao Honghua didn't think that a piece of five was expensive, you must know that a pound of pork in the black market costs three or four yuan, and it may not be able to buy it.

Mao's mother glanced at her, "Silly." It's not that you don't know how scarce meat is in the city, but you can't buy meat if you have money and no tickets, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have tickets and queues up in the middle of the night. You and the Red Army alone only have a supply of one pound of meat a month, and a large family of seven or eight people, who is enough to eat? It's a stroke of luck to meet this wild boar today, and you want to meet it in the future? No way! Let's buy it, pick some fat and keep it for ourselves, pickle it and dry it, and eat it slowly after keeping it. The rest is given to the relatives, and they can not give money? If they don't give money, they don't give meat. ”

Zhao Honghua felt that it was reasonable, and said with a smile: "Mom, you are still smart and thoughtful." ”

Hearing her daughter-in-law's compliment, Mao's mother was very proud and asked Mao Hongjun to find a scale to weigh the meat. Mao Hongjun and his wife are dual-income workers, of course, there is a family name, Mao Hongjun took out the scales, quickly weighed the meat, and Mao's mother took several pots out to fill the meat.

This wild boar is indeed very heavy, and it has been removed from Qi Shufang's own stay, and the remaining bare meat is two hundred and thirty-four and a half catties, fat and thin are among them, one piece is five pounds, a total of three hundred and fifty-one pieces and seven cents and five.

Qi Shufang said with a smile: "Director Mao, you can give me three hundred and five, and you don't need to weigh the rest." ”

"What's so embarrassing about this?" There is also a pig's head, a pig's tail, four pig's trotters, two pig's elbows, a pork rib, a pair of sewer and some bones that have not been cleaned, and the weight of dozens of catties is at least twenty or thirty yuan when sold to the food purchase station.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's also my little heart, I originally said to send you game, because I hit this wild boar, I didn't shoot other game, what I said yesterday became empty words, you don't blame me. ”

When the Mao family heard this, they couldn't ask for it.

Zhao Honghua happily counted thirty-five sheets of unity and handed them to Qi Shufang, "Comrade Shufang, a total of three hundred and five, you order." In the future, if you still have any good meat, remember to send it to us, we are more expensive than the purchase station, but you have to come quietly, you can't publicize it, the state prohibits private transactions, and it's hard to catch it. If you want to go to a department store to buy something, you can also come to our house to find the Red Army first, there are often some processed items inside, no ticket. ”

"Thank you, Sister Zhao, next time I need to bother Sister and Director Mao. "If it weren't for Mao Hongjun's responsibility for the department store, how could Qi Shufang mention sending wild meat to him? How could she have killed a wild boar and sent it? I really thought it was a favor? Of course she had a picture, and the picture was what Zhao Honghua said, so that she could go to the department store to buy things in the future.

Qi Shufang collected the money, "Aunt Mao, Director Mao, Sister Zhao, I have to go back, I borrowed someone else's bicycle, I didn't pay it back yesterday, and I have to pay it back today anyway." ”

"Yo, this bicycle isn't yours?" Zhao Honghua watched Mao Hongjun move the basin of meat to the inside, and at the same time put two pieces of soap and two packs of laundry detergent into a bamboo basket on both sides of the bicycle, and a bag of sugar and a pack of biscuits in a bamboo basket.

Qi Shufang sighed: "Our family is a farmer in the field, how can we get a ticket to buy a bicycle? If I had a bicycle, I would often hunt and send it to the city, but unfortunately I didn't, so I couldn't always ask my uncle's family to borrow it. ”

Zhao Honghua elbowed her husband, "Red Army, didn't I draw a bicycle ticket for the big golden deer in the factory during the Chinese New Year? Many colleagues outside came to beg me, whoever got this, offended that, and kept it, I think it might as well be given to Shufang's sister. Sister Shufang has a bicycle and often comes and goes, so it will be convenient for us to eat meat in the future, and make up for my mother and children, so as to save my hunger all year round. ”

Mao Hongjun moved all the meat into the room and straightened up, "It's no problem for Comrade Shufang, anyway, we don't have it at home, but there are no industrial coupons, and it is difficult to buy a bicycle just with a ticket, and this big golden deer needs 120 yuan and 20 industrial coupons." ”

Qi Shufang was first happy because of the news of the bicycle ticket, and then she was dumbfounded, "Do you want an industrial ticket?"

Zhao Honghua said with a smile: "Of course, industrial commodities need industrial vouchers, and most industrial commodities do." Don't worry, the Red Army and I have eight industrial coupons a month, and one industrial coupon for each of the twenty yuan salary, and a few left last month, and the ones issued this month are useless, so there are eight pieces left. When I divide the meat and ask them if they want it, you will come back in three or four days, and I will definitely be able to raise all the industrial vouchers for you. I'll give you the bike ticket first. As he spoke, he took out a ticket and handed it to her.

Qi Shufang took a closer look, it was indeed a valid Golden Deer bicycle ticket, as well as the seal of the machinery factory, and thanked her for it, the baby was collected together with the great unity, and she put it away carefully.

Bicycle ticket, with this ticket, I am one step closer to the bicycle.
