Chapter 276: The last transaction before the New Year
This time, the pork raised by the production team was divided according to work points, and Liu Jingxue got 5 kilograms.
The rest of the meat was first divided according to the merits of hunting, and then divided according to the number of people. Liu Jingxue got a total of 56 kilograms.
She asked for 6 kilograms of wolf meat, and the remaining 50 kilograms included 10 kilograms of wild boar meat, 20 kilograms of mutton, 10 kilograms of roe deer meat, and 10 kilograms of venison.
In addition, she also got four wolf skins, but she didn't want the other skins because she already had a lot of other skins in her space.
Knowing that she didn't know how to tan leather, the captain specially gave her some already tanned leather.
After dividing the meat, Liu Jingxue didn't rush to leave.
She planned to exchange some pig heads and ribs after the meat was divided.
Last time I brought two wild boar heads to the cowshed, they liked them very much.
This time, the production team raised some domestic pigs, which tasted better, so Liu Jingxue planned to replace them with some more.
Although there are domestic pigs in my own space, I don't have a suitable source, so it's not easy to give them to them.
She could already smell the delicious aroma of the pig-killing dish being stewed in the kitchen, and it should be ready soon.
She came with a load on her back, and since there was room for it, she planned to take all the things back at once to avoid having to make another trip.
After Liu Jingxue and others divided the meat, they exchanged it for two pig heads, one from a domestic pig and one from a wild boar, plus 20 kilograms of ribs.
It's not that she doesn't want to exchange both of them for pig heads, but this thing is a great snack to go with wine. There are many people who love wine in the Northeast, and several of them are eyeing the pig heads. She can't be too greedy.
In the evening, after using her spiritual sense to check that there was no one around, Liu Jingxue carried the meat, pig heads, bones, and a pot of pig-killing dishes to the cowshed.
Liu Jingxue brought 3 kilograms of wolf meat to the cowshed, and she planned to try the remaining 3 kilograms herself. If it tasted good, she would keep it for herself, but if it didn’t taste good, she would give it to Sister Jin.
The meat from the domestic pigs she sent to the cowshed were those raised in the space. After all, the things in the space contained spiritual energy and must be eaten by her own people.
As for the 5 kilograms of pork she was given, she planned to exchange it with Sister Jin.
When Liu Jingxue was asking Sister Jin about Su Youcai's news, she had promised her that she would get her more meat before the New Year, and she couldn't go back on her word.
The previous incident with Su Youcai made Liu Jingxue realize that she still needed to develop her own network in the town, but she didn't plan to develop it deliberately and just let everything take its course.
However, we have to maintain a good relationship with Sister Jin.
So far, she still has some energy and is a decent person.
Liu Jingxue left 5 kilograms of wild boar meat for Sister Jin, and brought the remaining 10 kilograms to the cowshed.
This time, the mutton, venison, and roe deer meat were all released from Liu Jingxue's space. They contained a trace of spiritual energy, and Liu Jingxue brought them all to the cowshed.
There are some more in the space, and she can slaughter them anytime if she wants to eat them.
There is still a lot of meat stored in the warehouse, and she can't consume much by herself.
Give the things to your uncle and aunt and let them deal with it.
Liu Jingxue asked Mr. Zou and Mr. Wu who were sitting on the kang,
"Grandfathers, what did you do with the sheep and deer skins that I sent to you last time?"
"Your Grandpa Zou knows how to tan leather. He has already done it and is hanging it there to dry in the shade," replied Old Wu.
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she was delighted and said to Zou Lao, "Grandpa Zou, I don't know how to tan leather, and the leather from the animals I killed before is buried in the snow.
I'll bring them here and you can help me deal with them.
Then it can be made into a fur coat or boots."
Mr. Zou readily agreed, "Okay, bring it here."
"I thought you had asked someone else to help you deal with it, but it turns out you just left it alone.
Then weren't all the things you hunted and the skins you got wasted when there was no snow?"
Knowing that the older generation hated wasting things, Liu Jingxue quickly explained, "It's not that the meat couldn't be preserved at that time. I only got some small things like pheasants and rabbits, so I wasted some rabbit skins.
Later, when the weather turned cold, we got the sheep and deer skins. The skins are now buried in the snow, so they should still be usable.”
"It's fine if they're buried in the snow. Bring them here. I'll take care of them in the next two days."
"I'll bring them tomorrow," Liu Jingxue said quickly.
They were all stored in the space warehouse, and she had to take them out and bury them in the snow to let them freeze.
If she brought it now, her lie would be exposed.
The next day, Liu Jingxue sent three frozen sheepskins and three frozen deerskins to the cowshed, and she didn't dare to send more.
As for the raw pig skin, I didn't even dare to send it over, so I could only leave it there.
When she is in a good mood one day, she will learn some skills and do it herself.
On the day before New Year's Day, Liu Jingxue took advantage of the good weather, carried a backpack and took the things she had prepared for Sister Jin, and went out.
Liu Jingxue skied all the way to the town. Now that she had her spiritual sense to guide the way, she was not worried at all that the wooden board she was standing on was moving without power and would be discovered.
When she arrived in town, Liu Jingxue went straight to the post office. After all, the purpose of her visit today was just to deliver meat to Sister Jin.
When they arrived at the post office and explained their purpose to Sister Jin, she took her to an empty room.
"Girl, what did you bring me today?" Sister Jin asked excitedly.
Liu Jingxue took down the backpack and showed her the things one by one.
"Two catties of wolf meat, five catties of wild boar meat, five catties of domestic pork, two rabbits, two chickens, two ducks, two geese, and four fish.
These are all I can give you before the New Year. I went to many stores to get them for you.
Everyone wants to keep it for the New Year, I can’t get any more.”
Sister Jin's face was full of smiles. With so much meat, it was enough for her husband's family and her own family to share.
Today, my family can have a good New Year.
"Sister, thank you so much, this is enough."
Sister Jin gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister, you are well connected in the countryside and you can get all these things.
Among the educated youth sent to the countryside, you are this one. "
Liu Jingxue just smiled and said nothing.
Although these were all hers, she never asked the villagers to exchange them.
But in terms of her situation in the production team, her situation is indeed much better than those educated youth, and the villagers now basically treat her as one of their own.
"Girl, I got a few more cigarette tickets, kerosene tickets, and toilet paper tickets these days.
There are also some candy and pastry tickets, do you want them?
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it’s time to prepare for the New Year.”
Liu Jingxue thought about it and realized that she would definitely have to pay New Year's greetings to the team leader and Secretary Xu, so she had to prepare cigarettes or bottled wine.
Since they have children at home, they must prepare candy.
And there will probably be children in the village coming to visit me during the New Year, so I have to prepare some candies and cakes to entertain them.
As for cloth coupons, although I don’t need them, the villagers will definitely need them, so I can exchange them with them.
"Sister Jin, I want all these tickets.
Also, if you have wine tickets, give them to me. I need them for New Year greetings."
"I do have a few wine tickets. I'll give them to you."
After settling the bill, Liu Jingxue exchanged the meat for the required bills and 55 yuan.
