Chapter 548: Chen 82 is desperate
"Oh, this meat is so beautiful!"
Fu Wan took a look at it and it was obvious that this kind of pork was not the kind from later generations that had eaten too much feed and clenbuterol. Even the fat was a light yellow. When she lifted it up and shook it a few times, it was like jelly, making a duang duang sound.
Ye Lin was also proud when he heard Fu Wan's words.
"That's right, Awan, let me tell you, these pigs are raised by the aunt in our village. They are fed with wild vegetables from the river. They don't eat raw vegetables, but cooked vegetables that we take home."
After saying that, he smacked his lips again. His family had a pig-killing meal last night. The pig's blood and liver were so tender that he was still savoring the taste.
"Also, Jun went to the pig farm a few days ago and bought six piglets. They've started raising them now. By next year, we'll be able to eat pigs raised by our own family!"
When Fu Wan heard this, she immediately became interested.
"Brother Jun is so quick?"
Fu Ming came over when he heard the noise, and was very proud when he talked about Ye Lin.
"Of course he did. The next day after he borrowed the money from you, he went to the village chief to get permission to build a pig pen. It just so happened that he had a lot of bricks left over from building a house a while ago, so I didn't ask for them back and gave them all to him.
As soon as the pen was finished, he went to the pig farm to negotiate the price and managed to buy six piglets at a very low price.
Ye Jun was incredibly busy these days. Besides feeding the chickens, ducks, and geese, he'd go to the mountains and rivers to cut weeds and cook them for the pigs. Liang Cuifen was about to give birth, so she hadn't been making any noise.
After hearing about Ye Jun's situation, Fu Wan, Fu Ming and others were also very happy.
Ye Xiaocui was even more so. When Boss Fu saw that there was so much meat at home, he picked up a piece with more fat.
"I'll send a note to the village chief."
The old village chief's teeth are getting worse and worse, and he likes this kind of fat meat the most.
Fu Wan picked up two ribs and said, "Then I'll send some to Ah Qing's house. Big brother, you take some ribs and meat and send them to Third Uncle's house."
"Good Le!"
Fu Ming responded, and Fu Wan took out two pieces of meat with alternating fat and lean parts, which probably weighed about four or five pounds.
"These two pieces of meat are perfect for making bacon. Mom, please send them to Brother Aliang's house."
It's rare to have so much meat. We definitely can't eat it all at home, so it might be better to give some away.
Ye Jianguo and Ye Lin didn't mind at all. Although they brought the meat themselves, they also knew the people that Boss Fu Wanfu had just mentioned.
After a few people distributed the meat, there was still a lot left at home.
So Ye Xiaocui waved her hand and said, "Today I'm going to make braised pork. I won't add water. When we go out to sea tomorrow, you can have more meat dishes."
At such a low temperature, as long as there is no water in the braised pork and it is heated up every time, it can be eaten for several meals.
When Ye Lin heard that she was going to make braised pork, he sharpened his knife and helped cut the meat.
Fu Wan was not idle either. She packed the ribs she had collected into bags and put them in the freezer.
Everyone was busy when Wangcai's voice was heard outside again.
When Fu Wan walked out, she saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man standing at the door, knocking on it with a confused look on his face.
"you are?"
"Girl, I'm looking for Boss Fu. Is this his house?"
Fu Wan nodded in confusion and kicked Wangcai aside as he was about to rush forward.
"Come in, I'll go call my dad."
"Don't shout, I'm coming."
When Boss Fu heard the noise, he came out to take a look and was also surprised.
"Old Chen, why are you here?"
The visitor gave a bitter laugh and said, "Old Fu, it's a long story. Are you free now?"
"When you have time, come on, come in and sit down."
Boss Fu picked up a rag from the bamboo branch next to him and wiped his hands, then took the man surnamed Chen to the main house.
Seeing this, Fu Wan was about to go back to the kitchen, but was stopped by Boss Fu.
"Awan, this is the Chen Baliang I told you about, Uncle Chen.
This is my daughter, and she and her brother are in charge of the sea trip.”
Chen Balian didn't expect that the girl in front of him was actually Boss Fu's daughter. He had heard that Boss Fu's daughter divorced and brought her child home, and he thought she was the kind of abandoned woman. He didn't expect that she was such a young girl with such a good spirit.
Is that guy surnamed Shen blind?
Chen Balian secretly complained in his heart, but Fu Wanke didn't know this. She smiled politely at Chen Balian.
"Hello Uncle Chen, you two have a seat, I'll go get you a cup of tea."
There is also tea for entertaining guests at home. Although it is not the very expensive kind, these days, there are not many people who can entertain guests with real tea instead of tea foam.
After Boss Fu asked Chen Balian to sit down, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the cabinet and handed it to him. Chen Balian took it but didn't light it. He just sniffed it and put it between his ears.
"What's wrong with you? You look like an eggplant hit by frost, wilted!"
Boss Fu joked, and Fu Wan poured them two cups of tea and went back to the kitchen.
She also noticed that when she was there, Chen Balian always seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Hearing Boss Fu's question, Chen Balian sighed.
He touched the cigarette off his ear and sniffed it again.
Boss Fu quit smoking for a long time after he fell ill, and Chen Balian also knew this.
So even though he was very upset, he didn't light the cigarette.
"Old Fu, I'm not going to be rude to you. You told me yesterday that we were short of people on the ship. Are we still short of people now?"
"Short, of course not." Boss Fu was surprised. "Old Chen, could it be that you... that's not right. Yesterday you said you wouldn't betray the boss, how come you changed your mind overnight?"
When talking about this, Chen Balian hung his head and looked completely drained of energy.
"Hey, when you came here yesterday, our neighbor saw you.
The man was a big mouth and he told his boss at that time that he was going to run away with him.
Last night I went to the dock to go out to sea, but my boss was not happy with me, saying I was eating at one place and craving for food from another. He also told me not to go because he hadn't paid me yet.
This made Boss Fu very angry, "He hasn't even received his salary yet, what kind of person is he?
I'll go find him!"
"That's not necessary. I'll ask someone to pay my salary later. But I just want to ask you, do you still want me on this ship?"
"Yes, why not!"
Boss Fu slammed the table and said, it was also his fault. He was happy at the time and spoke a little loudly to Chen Balian. He didn't expect that the person next to him would hear it.
The ship owner is the same, he has no tolerance at all.
What Boss Fu didn't know was that Chen Balian's ship owner knew him, Boss Fu. Thanks to Wang Jianshe, almost all the ships within a hundred miles had heard of Boss Fu's name.
When this guy was buying fish, he praised Mr. Fu to the skies. Those who go out to sea are all men, so it's normal for them to be a little competitive. If my catch isn't as good as yours, it's possible for me to sell it at the same price as you.
So everyone followed Wang Jianshe's trick and sold their fish to him.
As a result, after the guy ran away, they found out that not only did the Fu family not sell the goods to Wang Jianshe, but the entire Fujia Village did not sell the goods either.
This made everyone very angry, and the key fault was their own fault for not asking when they sold the goods.
Now I can only swallow my anger!
