Chapter 21 Supply and Marketing Cooperatives
"The big pot also catches seasonal birds, turtles, and rabbits."
The mouth relayed Changxiu's story of all the good things her older brother had done over the past few days. Little Changxiu ate these things with great relish and couldn't forget them even if she wanted to.
Chang Dashan: ...
Everyone in the courtyard laughed.
"Meilin, you should go with Xiao Kun quickly," Liu Meifen urged.
That's a wild boar, we can't underestimate it.
"Where are you going? Didn't Xiao Kun just get back?"
Chang Dashan turned to look at the others and noticed that they all had smiles on their faces.
"Dad, I hunted a wild boar on the mountain and asked my uncle to drive the oxcart to pick it up."
"What?! A wild boar?! You actually caught one?!"
Chang Dashan's voice has changed.
Her eyes darted around, and she became anxious again, pulling Chang Kun away. "Hurry up and let's go! What if someone picks up the wild boar and leaves it in the mountains?"
"No rush, I'll have Cricket watch over there. He's got a gun, so don't worry."
"My son handles things; do you need to tell me how?" Liu Meifen tugged at Chang Kun's arm.
"Son, don't rush. Drink some water and eat something before you go. Look how tired you are from going up in the mountains, with rashes of sweat all over your body."
"Have a drink of water and then leave. Dad and Uncle are extremely worried."
My father and uncle were so nervous they could barely stand, pacing anxiously back and forth in the yard.
"Come on, there are so many springs in the mountains, why come back to drink water? We can take an oxcart on the way, you don't have to lift a finger, hurry up and go!" Chang Dashan called to Liu Meilin to leave the hospital and drive the oxcart.
Liu Meilin drove the oxcart, with Chang Dashan and Chang Kun riding on it, all the way to the village entrance.
People at the village entrance were still talking about Chang Kun's reckless attempt to hunt wild boars.
Chang Dashan chuckled after hearing this.
These people laugh at us when we fail to catch a wild boar, but once we do, they'll be green with envy.
The oxcart could only go as far as the foot of the mountain; beyond that, the wheels couldn't move at all.
With no other option, Liu Meilin stayed behind to watch the oxcart, while Chang Kun and Chang Dashan hurriedly went into the mountains.
When Chang Dashan got close to the wild boar, he stared at it in a daze.
Although he had anticipated this on the way here, he was still taken aback when he saw such a large wild boar.
When was the last time I ate wild boar meat?
He couldn't quite remember, but it seemed to be during the communal dining era in 58.
At that time, the team handed over all the large pigs to the commune, and slaughtered the remaining piglets.
The piglet weighed only thirty or forty pounds, and after slaughter, there were less than twenty pounds of meat. It was thrown into the team's big pot, and each person only received a piece of meat the size of a fingertip.
At that time, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If it was public property and I didn't eat it myself, then I was losing out.
Looking back now...
Hey……
I haven't eaten pork since, and I can't even fulfill my wish to have a full meal...
After resting for more than an hour, Chang Kun and Zhang Quhun, along with Chang Dashan as a fresh addition, took turns pulling the wild boar and finally dragged it to the foot of the mountain.
"Little Kun, this big guy must weigh at least 300 pounds, right?"
Liu Meilin approached the wild boar, circled it once, and then pulled open its belly to examine it. "Look at this fat," she said, "not bad at all. We can get a lot of oil from it!"
"Less than 300, after removing the internal organs, it's probably less than 250."
"Who gutted this pig? It's cleaned up inside quite well."
"Hehe, little uncle, it's me. It's my first time being dissected, so just make do."
"Good job, not bad, my nephew has really made something of himself!" Liu Meilin grinned and praised her nephew.
Chang Dashan sat to the side smoking his pipe, feeling quite pleased with himself for dragging the wild boar along the way.
No one in the village has hunted wild boars in the past two or three years, so this wild boar is truly a first.
When we get back to the village entrance, let's see what those foul-mouthed bastards have to say.
I just passed by the village entrance and heard that someone made a bet to eat pig manure. I wonder if there's enough manure in the pig's intestines for him to eat.
Chang Dashan chuckled to himself as he thought about it.
"Dad, Uncle, I'm thinking of cutting off a few pieces of fat from the belly of this wild boar. We can eat some ourselves, give some to our family, and sell the rest."
At that time, purchasing stations, supply and marketing cooperatives, food stations, and street offices all had their own procurement quotas.
"Sold? These days, money can't buy grain."
Chang Dashan puffed on his pipe. Meat and grain were hard currency at this time; money was useless. Even if you had money and coupons, you couldn't buy meat.
"Yes, the pig has been sold. I remember my brother-in-law's sister-in-law works at the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll go check it out and exchange some things with her."
Chang Kun had already planned ahead; he couldn't finish the meat if he kept it at home, so he might as well sell it to do favors.
He remembered that when the supply and marketing cooperative released new job quotas, it caused a stir in his previous life.
"Fine, you're in charge of the pig you killed." Chang Dashan saw that Chang Kun's words were well-reasoned and he figured his son had a plan in mind.
After resting for a few minutes, the four men lifted the wild boar onto the oxcart, used small hand axes to cut off a few of the thickest pieces of fat, and put them into burlap sacks.
Liu Meilin sat in front of the oxcart, his face beaming with pride, waving his whip like a victorious general returning home.
Chang Kun and Zhang Quhun sat on either side of the wild boar, their hands resting on its body, their smiles never fading.
Chang Dashan walked slowly behind the oxcart, his hands behind his back, humming a little tune.
The oxcart slowly approached the village entrance.
The once noisy village entrance fell silent the moment the oxcart appeared, as if the sounds had been paused.
Many villagers stared wide-eyed as the oxcart passed by, their eyes turning red and their mouths agape.
As Chang Dashan strolled by, he tossed out a remark:
"I heard someone wants to eat pig poop? Come to my house later, there's a lot of poop in their pig intestines."
Long after the oxcart had passed, the villagers at the village entrance slowly came to their senses, and the discussion erupted like a boiling pot.
Someone spoke up, speculating about where the wild boar had been hunted.
There are also clever people, like Jin Sanjia, who are already figuring out how to get information out of Chang Kun about the locations where wild boars roam.
The news that Chang Kun had hunted a large wild boar spread throughout the village in no time.
The families in the village who owned guns were all itching to make a move.
The villagers all thought that if Chang Wei, who was good for nothing, could hunt wild boars, then they could too!
The oxcart arrived outside the Chang family's courtyard, and several people took the sacks into the yard so that the family members could clean them up.
Liu Meifen's eyes lit up as she touched the wild boar, reluctant to sell it. Even in the years when things weren't so difficult, her family could only afford to eat pork a few times a year.
Now, this huge wild boar belongs to our family; it's unbelievable!
Several little girls stared intently at the wild boar on the oxcart, their mouths practically watering.
They had already learned from their mother that pork tasted better than wild rabbit or greyhound meat.
After a brief explanation, Liu Meilin and Chang Kun hurriedly drove the oxcart towards the city.
Chang Kun and his uncle chatted and laughed along the way, making their journey quick.
When we arrived in the city, there were many people on the streets, and everyone was dressed very simply.
Chang Kun found out the location of the Gulou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and the two of them drove an oxcart there.
Along the way, the wild boar attracted a 100% turn-around rate.
Some people were asking if wild boar meat was for sale, because the city was really short of meat; even with meat coupons and money, you couldn't buy meat at all.
Chang Kun remembered hearing in his previous life that the pigs raised on the farm were all sent to the north to pay off debts, and the people in the city could only eat the pigs raised by the collective.
As for rural people, well...
Whoever is covered in Luo Qi is not a silkworm breeder.
This has always been the case throughout history.
After asking around, we arrived at the Gulou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
There was a big white box by the door with "Arctic Ocean Popsicle" written on it. At this time, this stuff was just tap water with some pear juice, flavoring, and sugar, then frozen in the cold storage, and that was it.
Chang Kun glanced at the ice cream box a few times, then put his thoughts aside and walked through the door.
A woman wearing a white hat and dark blue work clothes looked up at him, then looked down and dozed off again.
"Would you like some meat here?"
Chang Kun was fully aware of the service staff's attitude at this time; as long as they didn't beat people without reason, he was satisfied.
"Huh? Meat? What kind of meat?" The sales clerk suddenly looked up, instantly becoming alert.
Chang Kun chuckled. These days, who doesn't need meat? He's not just here to sell meat for a quick buck.
