Chapter 268

"But I have one condition, that is, you can't tell it. Just say to the outside world that I use money to buy pork from you. To tell you the truth, I have a way to get more new rice, but it's not too much. It's only two or three hundred catties. So it’s a good deal for me to exchange rice.”

When Ruan Jiaoyan said this, Aunt Mu Mu couldn't help but glance at her husband.

She suddenly admired her husband, because he didn't see or think wrongly.She admired Ruan Jiaoyan even more, so it seemed that the eldest girl of the Ruan family really had a great fortune.

"We can!"

Zhou Mutou said excitedly.The new rice is perfectly fine. They will keep a hundred catties for themselves, and the remaining 100 meters will be sold to a few brothers-in-law at the wife's natal house. They also need it. Anyway, fifteen cents per catty is worth it.But he still frankly told Ruan Jiaoyan about such a plan, and asked her if she could do it.

"I don't care if you sell it to your own people, but you must never tell that the new rice was taken from me."

"Let's not talk about it, just say that we went to the city to buy it!" It made sense to sell the pigs to buy rice.They are short of food, so don't eat too much meat.

"That's fine, it's just that the pig has to be slaughtered—"

Ruan Jiaoyan was suddenly worried about this matter.

"My uncle can do this job, but he doesn't handle it so meticulously. When the time comes, give him a catty of meat as wages. Do you think it's okay?" Aunt Mu said quickly.

"can!"

Ruan Jiaoyan immediately made a decision. "You invite him to kill the pigs, and let me know when the time is set, and I will come and have a look when the time comes."

"It's done, it's done."

Ruan Jiaoyan only remembered after leaving Zhou Mutou's house. Zhou Mutou and his wife didn't tell her to pay a deposit first. It seems that the couple can do it.

After going back, she found that the whole family was waiting for her, and all those eyes were looking at her.

"What's wrong with you?" She was a little amused.

"Sister, did you buy it?" Huanhuan couldn't hold back the most.

"Yes, I bought it. When they make an appointment with the butcher, you will all go pick up the meat with me."

It weighs more than a hundred catties, and pork is not easy to carry, so let's go together.

Although they didn't raise the pig themselves, the pig was theirs, and killing pigs was a big deal for rural people.

Sure enough, upon hearing the news, the whole family was so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Zhou Mutou may also be in a hurry, so he talked about it at night, and made an appointment with his wife's uncle to come before dawn tomorrow, and then he will smear and kill pigs.

"Then we'll be there tomorrow morning."

"Hey, good, good." Zhou Mutou was sweating profusely as he hurried on the road, he must have gone to another village to find his uncle.

The next day was still dark, and everyone in the Ruan family got up except the Chen family.

Ruan Jiaoyan quickly baked some pancakes, several of them ate breakfast together, and then left with a basket each.

Ruan Jiaoyan still shouldered the burden.

The cold wind was blowing outside, the sky was still dark, and the whole village was silent.

The Ruan family walked on the village road in the severe cold, but their hearts were a little hot.

Zhou Mutou's house does not share the same wall with the left and right neighbors, there is a road separating the left and right. Usually the noise is not very noisy, but today if you want to butcher a pig, you must disturb the left and right neighbors.However, it is not surprising that their family raises pigs every year and kills pigs every year.

Aunt Mu Mu has arrived, a very strong old man, Zhou Mu Mu's house is burning, and there is a brazier in the yard, which can be seen.

Seeing that Ruan Funian, a well-known literati and scholar in the village, also came, Zhou Mutou was still a little nervous, and wanted to move him a chair so that he could sit farther away. He felt that killing pigs was not suitable for him to watch from the sidelines.

But Ruan Funian waved his hand and watched from the side.

It was cold and windy, and everyone in the small yard was very excited. The uncle raised the knife and saw that although he was not very skilled in his movements, he successfully killed the pig.

A neighbor asked loudly from their side, "Wu Mu, is there any pork that is cheaper by two catties this year?"

Zhou Mutou also responded loudly, "It's gone, it's all taken away."

"It's okay to set the large intestine!"

Zhou Mutou looked at Ruan Jiaoyan, who immediately shook her head.

Just kidding, she can also make pig intestines, and it's extra delicious!She felt a little hungry just thinking about it!How could it be given to others?

So, Zhou Mutou went back to the neighbor again, "Everything from the large intestine was confiscated."

The neighbor's voice was quieter, as if cursing, and then the door slammed shut.It seems to be saying that Zhou Mumu is a dead man, and it is not cheap to kill a pig to give a few catties to his neighbors.

Zhou Mumu was a little embarrassed, but Aunt Mumu couldn't help explaining to Ruan Jiaoyan, "I used to always come to ask for it, saying that it was from the neighbors, and it was half the price per catty. It cost eight cents."

It turned out that I wanted to take advantage of it.

"Anyway, they are all mine now, so I won't sell them." Ruan Jiaoyan said.

"Yes."

The pig was weighed before. The uncle borrowed the scale, and two people lifted it up to weigh it. It was more than 130 catties. Ruan Jiaoyan said that he would give catties of new rice, and then a catty would be calculated at eight cents.

Zhou Mutou told her that he would keep some seven or eight catties for his family, and then she would give him a consistent amount of money, so that it would be easy for everyone to calculate.Ruan Jiaoyan gave them the consistent money as soon as she arrived, and agreed to transport the remaining two hundred catties of rice to the town today.

Both families are happy.

Zhou Mutou's two sons and a daughter also got up early to help.

Finally, the meat was divided, and it was still dark.The Ruan family brought home more than 120 kilograms of meat and bones, and everyone was speechless.

When they got home and closed the door, Ruan Jiaoyan quickly told them what to do with the meat and bones.

Keeping their family busy, she went to the town with a load of loads. At one end were two stacked baskets with a few bamboo baskets inside, and at the other end were all bamboo baskets strung together. He also brought Shi Xiaolan a handful of vegetables and peas.

Shi Xiaolan was overjoyed to receive this dish, and gave Ruan Jiaoyan a bowl of noodles, insisting that she finish eating before leaving.It happened to be lunch.

When she came out of Shi Xiaolan's house, she handed over the bamboo basket, Cui Baoshan caught her and asked if there was anything else to eat.

Ruan Jiaoyan really didn't have anything to eat right now, and he was quite disappointed.

She went to Xiaorong Lane, and just loaded two hundred catties of rice out of the space, when she heard a very slight sound in the yard outside.

anyone?

Ruan Jiaoyan's heart suddenly lifted.

When she came in, she locked the courtyard door, how could anyone come in?
And this place has been empty for so long, is it possible that there are thieves who want to come in and steal things?Or was it aimed at her?The fact that she and Shi Xiaolan rented this house was targeted by thieves?

Ruan Jiaoyan immediately picked up the pole and hid behind the door.

The movement outside could hardly be heard, but Ruan Jiaoyan clearly knew that someone was gently approaching the door of the wing room.

A hand pressed against the door and pushed slightly.
