Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

Chapter 217 There's so much meat we can't finish it all...

After the family finished eating the donkey meat, Liu Meifen and Chang Dashan went to the yard to continue cleaning up.

"Dad, how are we going to eat all this meat?" Liu Meifen never imagined that one day her family would have so much meat that they couldn't finish it all.

"What else can we do? Marinate, smoke, air-dry, or if that doesn't work, sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative?" Chang Dashan turned to look at the pile of meat in the yard, feeling a bit helpless. His son was too capable; the family's mouths couldn't keep up with his hunting speed.

The elderly couple were unaware that Chang Kun's spatial storage contained two wild donkeys, a wild boar, and five wild wolves...

Not to mention the roe deer, sika deer, hazel grouse, and bear paws brought back from Northeast China, there are still quite a few of them.

"That's not appropriate. Even if the director and Xiao Wang work at the supply and marketing cooperative, they can't just buy meat all the time. Their salaries aren't enough to cover their expenses, and donkey meat is even more expensive."

Liu Meifen thought for a moment: "How about I go to the state-run restaurant across the street and ask Old Zhu for some braised pork broth? State-run restaurants can also purchase their own food. I can ask them if they want donkey meat then."

She nodded and said, "That's settled then. We'll braise the meat, send some to his brother-in-law, and some to Xiaomei's in-laws. The state-run restaurants and supply and marketing cooperatives can buy as much as they want. We'll eat the rest!"

Chang Kun laughed when he heard this. His parents were still worried about having too much meat, and if others found out, they would curse him out.

Many people, armed with meat coupons, queued at meat shops in the middle of the night, yet still couldn't buy any meat.

This is a matter of perspective; the parents were extremely cautious, afraid of being caught doing something wrong by selling meat.

Little did they know that countless organizations were begging for meat; anyone who could get meat was a hero to their organization.

With all that meat in the yard, you could easily get a good job at any organization.

"Dad, Mom, if there's any meat we can't finish, we can give it to Brother Cheng. He'll definitely be able to handle it."

Chang Kun thought of his brother-in-law, who had been relegated to the position of a small police station chief for a long time because he couldn't drink.

The status of a police station chief in those days was completely different from that of those in later generations.

At that time, almost every unit had its own security team, and any problems would be handled internally, leaving no room for the police station to intervene.

When something happens on the street, people go to the neighborhood security team, not the police station.

The police station is not needed by either the higher or lower levels, which makes it an awkward position that is neither loved nor cared for.

If this brother-in-law could use some donkey meat to pull some strings, he might be able to get things done a bit.

"Okay!" Upon hearing that Cheng Jie could help with processing the meat, Liu Meifen readily agreed, as she had long regarded the Cheng family as her in-laws.

Chang Dashan packed several sacks, filled them with donkey meat, and prepared to bring it to Cheng Jie the next day.

The other girls were already asleep, but Chang Qing was still peeking out from the kang (heated brick bed) watching the little donkey, muttering to herself, "Little firebread, little firebread, tomorrow I'll cut grass for you to eat, and you can only let me ride it..."

"Ahem!" Chang Kun coughed lightly. "Xiao Qing, have you learned these two new characters yet?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Qing shrank back, his eyes darted around a few times, and he covered his mouth, pretending to yawn: "Big brother, I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she rolled over next to Xiuer, buried her head in Xiuer's back, and started snoring.

Chang Kun was amused and kicked Chang Qing's butt: "It's too late today, I'll let you off this time, but you'll definitely have to do a dictation test tomorrow, so you'd better watch out."

Chang Qing pretended not to hear and snored even louder...

Early the next morning.

The first thing Chang Kun did upon waking up was to check the system upgrade.

System upgrade complete.

[The space has been upgraded to 100*100*100, and plants can be grown within it, growing ten times faster than normal.]

Objects within the space can be manipulated at will.

it is good!

Chang Kun clenched his fists tightly, his face full of excitement!

Since his rebirth, he has been hunting to feed his family. He is always afraid that one day he will run out of prey on the nearby mountains. After all, the prey resources near the capital are not abundant. At that time, he will have to go to a more distant place to hunt.

Moreover, this autumn and winter will truly be a time of famine, when food will be extremely scarce, and the family can't just eat meat.

Plants can now be grown in this space. Although it is only a small 10,000 square meters, less than two football fields in size, if used properly, the grain grown will be enough to feed a large family.

Chang Kun thought to himself that sweet potatoes, potatoes, radishes, cabbages, green beans, and persimmons all have relatively short ripening times.

Crops planted within this space can grow ten times faster, yielding a large harvest in as little as four or five days, or as long as ten or more days.

Looking at the newly appeared black soil in the space, Chang Kun slowly suppressed his excitement.

Next, we can find some seeds to plant grains and vegetables.

After getting off the kang (heated brick bed) and entering the main room, Liu Meifen was already simmering bone broth over a fire, and the kitchen was filled with the aroma of cooking meat.

"Mom, donkey intestines need to be cooked for a longer time. When you find the braising spice packet, simmer them properly; this stuff is delicious."

"My son is the best eater. He doesn't like meat, but he prefers sausage."

"Well, look who his son is."

"Yes, yes, yes, I gave birth to a wonderful son."

As the mother and daughter chatted and laughed, Chang Dashan walked in.

"Xiao Kun, I've divided the meat. Take 100 jin to the police station and let Cheng Jie arrange it. Have your mother take 50 jin to the supply and marketing cooperative. We'll braise the rest ourselves."

Chang Kun nodded, agreeing that this arrangement would work. He would ask Cheng Jie again later, and if there was anything else that needed to be arranged, he had two wild donkeys in his own space.

After waiting a while, the meat and bones in the pot were cooked. Chang Kun took out a few ribs, with trembling red meat hanging on them, glistening with tempting oil.

I poured a little soy sauce, dipped it in the meat, and took a bite – it was such a treat!

The fresh and delicious flavor is much better than the hot donkey meat I ate last night.

"Eating it with the bone on tastes completely different from eating just the meat. This is much tastier!" Chang Dashan smacked his lips against the bone, making a slurping sound.

If I had eaten like this last night, I definitely would have had a few drinks. Unfortunately, it's early in the morning, so it's not a good time to drink before going to work.

Chang Kun nodded. That's right. At that time, people only recognized fatty meat. Let alone ribs, even lean meat was not considered good meat.

Things are different in later years. Pork belly sells for ten yuan, while spare ribs can sell for seventeen or eighteen yuan. It's not for any other reason than that spare ribs taste better...

Liu Meifen said with a regretful look, "These donkey meat bones are indeed tastier than pork ones. It's a pity to sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative and state-run restaurants."

Since everyone at her workplace is an acquaintance, she felt embarrassed to overcharge, so she usually sold her products at 20% cheaper than the market price.

But with the current market conditions, there's no market price left. You can't find any meat on the market at all; it's a case of having a price but no market.

"Mom, we can't finish it all, don't waste it. If we can get along well with those people, we might need it someday."

These days, anyone who can get into a supply and marketing cooperative or a state-run restaurant must have connections, unless they're like Chang Kun who just used his connections to get a job.

Later generations say that China is a society based on personal connections, because the internet is so developed that many things are exposed as soon as they are revealed, and they become a trending topic and are seen clearly by everyone.

But this time was even worse than in later generations. Some things were not concealed at all. Everyone knew about them, everyone followed them, and everyone pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring. It was just like being a scoundrel and still wanting to erect a memorial arch!

But! Who can avoid it in this life?

Even if you're reborn with a system, you can't escape the common pitfalls...
