Chapter 23: Refugees Rush for Pork

And Tan Qingqing saw Tan Jiexing's pouting appearance, and knew that the fourth sister was scolding her in her heart.

Scold it.

Who called the technical work of slaughtering pigs, she really can't do it?

A few people hummed and carried the piglets down the mountain.

Chen An, Chen Shi, and Chen Hua looked at Tan Qingqing and the others, and when they entered the mountain, they were like bandits, and they were simply dumbfounded.

Seriously, Orion is not as exaggerated as they are.

If the hunter can hunt a pig, almost half the year's expenses will be gone.

Although Tan Qingqing and the others are only hunting little piglets, this little piglet looks like a seventy or eighty pounds.

These five little piglets are about the weight of one and a half adult pigs.

According to the price of meat in the current famine year, a pound of meat is 47 Wen, and these meats can almost be sold for eighteen taels of silver.

Eighteen taels.

Where do ordinary people earn so much in a year?!

It's just that the rivers and lakes like the Tan family are reckless, and they can get such rich things.

"I've almost saved up the food. Add grains or something, you should be able to eat for a month. ”

But Tan Jiexing looked at these piglets, and still shook his head regretfully, "It's just not good to preserve." Whether it is lamb or pork, it must be eaten as soon as possible if it is not salted. Otherwise, it's rotten. ”

Although there are many people in the dart game, there are only twenty or thirty people.

Even if all the people hurry up and eat it now, they won't be able to kill all the pork before the meat rots.

"Then hurry up to the team ahead and ask the uncle how to deal with it."

Tan Qingqing said.

"Otherwise, find someone to live and sell half of it. Anyway, in these days, meat is worth more than silver. ”

That being said, it's actually a metaphor.

After all, the price of those things in the town has increased in one day. There is not much money in things, but can't it go up with all its might?

Today's meat price is 47 Wen/catty, and tomorrow it will be 70 Wen/catty.

Money can't buy anything, how ruthless!

But the meat thing, those who can afford it, still have to buy it.

Who is called a person, you must eat meat to strengthen your immunity?

"Okay, then catch up with the dart team."

Tan Yunxing said, "My father also has a way to sell goods, let him sell more pork and save some money to cross the road." ”

The group agreed, and they hurriedly called the horses to run.

But it is still a bit far-fetched to pile hundreds of pounds of materials on a cart and let only one horse pull it.

So Tan Jiexing and Tan Yunxing followed behind the cart.

Once the horse is depressed, quickly push two to help the horse.

It took about an hour or two for a few of them to catch up with the dart team.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle looked at Tan Qingqing, and they actually got so many piglets on the cart, and they were immediately stunned and happy.

"It turns out that you put the artillery on the mountain?"

Tan Congwen sighed, "No wonder I saw that there were a few piglets, frightened, and rolled down from the small cliff!" ”

"It's you little cubs!"

It's really more like a bandit than a bandit.

If you see what you can eat, you have to put it all in your pocket before you give up!

Just rushed to these little rabbits to go up the mountain to catch treasures.

It doesn't matter if it's a famine year or a good year, the rabbits won't starve to death.

"There are dozens of pounds of chestnuts!"

Tan Jiexing shouted, "Hurry up and measure it over." Otherwise, our horses will be tired and faint! ”

Tan Jiexing hurriedly pointed to the goods on the cart.

The crowd looked in the direction of her finger.

When I saw it, I was shocked and delighted.

Good guys, chestnuts have done so much too! How much edible road food is this for the dart game?

The news that Tan Qingqing brought hundreds of catties of meat and chestnuts quickly spread.

The refugees also gathered around, looking at the chestnuts and pork, with envious expressions on their faces.

A few refugees even took out a dozen pennies from their pockets to buy chestnuts and meat.

"You guys are making all these things at once, and you can't eat them all, why don't you sell some to us? It's not a famine year, a pound of meat, but thirteen or fourteen dollars. I have fifteen wen in my hand, can you give me a pound of meat? ”

"You know, that's the price of meat in a good year!"

"What can I buy for fifteen cents now? An egg costs twelve or thirteen yuan, not to mention wild boar! ”

"I'll give me thirty wen, give me a pound!"

Seeing the refugees frantically grabbing meat, Tan Congwen and Tan Kaowen had to let them line up first.

"I know that this is a famine year, and it will not be easy for everyone. Everyone follow our Longmen Dart Bureau, that is, to seek stability and a good stomach. ”

Tan Congwen, as the eldest of the Tan brothers, completely grasped the grandeur of the eldest brother.

Even in the face of so many people's coaxing, Tan Congwen was not in a hurry.

It was also thanks to his calm and composed appearance that the refugees were quieted down and listened to him.

"But in fact, I also know that many people are reluctant to eat pork for thirteen or four dollars a pound even in a good year. So we think that 20 yuan a pound of pork is just right. ”

"If you can afford it, buy it. If you can't accept it, you can buy some chestnuts and go. The left and right sides can also be filling. ”

The refugees didn't expect that the Longmen Dart Bureau would be like a bodhisattva, giving them meat for nothing!

In this year, a pound of pork is only 20 wen per catty, isn't it just a free gift!

To say that I am not grateful in my heart is all false.

At this time, which of the profiteers did not raise the price of grain and make the disaster victims' hard money?

is also a Longmen dart game, which can sell pork with conscience!

"Okay, okay, twenty wen is twenty wen, give me two catties of pork!"

"I want it too!"

"Me! I want it too! ”

But Tan Congwen still asked everyone to calm down first, "You have also seen that our dart bureau still has to protect the master's house." ”

"If you want to kill pigs, you have to find the next place to settle and stop."

"If you really want to buy pork, then follow our dart game, go to the next foothold, and then buy it after slaughtering. Otherwise, the dart game will not be able to stop and slaughter pigs for you on the way. ”

What Tan Congwen said, the refugees also understand.

immediately said, "Okay, then let's go." However, the good twenty is twenty wen, and the price cannot be increased! ”

"Don't worry, big guys, it won't go up."

Now, the big guys didn't make any more noise.

It's just that He Niang and Mrs. Wu are close to Tan Qingqing, and they both want to get the best meat with the least amount of money.

"Fifth Sister Tan."

He Niang secretly stuffed twenty copper coins into Tan Qingqing's hand.

"Yuanzi is the time to grow his body, but he can't eat that pig's head or pork bones. So can the meat of the back buttocks be left to Motoko first? ”

As she spoke, He Niang also rubbed Yuanzi, "This kid is pitiful." It was only three years after I was born, and my father went. Only our orphans and widows are left to survive in this famine year.

Usually our orphans and widows are frugal, but they can't even touch eggs, let alone taste any meat.

Now look at the price of your pork at 20 wen, which is a rare meat price in a famine year. We orphans and widows don't know if there is a future, so we want to try to give Yuanzi as good as possible while I am still alive. ”

As she spoke, she even shed tears and wiped them with her sackcloth sleeves.

"I'm just that. Fifth Sister Tan, you can do it, let the child eat more, don't come, he doesn't even know what meat is. ”
