"Well, Auntie, I see you only have one old hen left at home. Is there any way I can get a few more for you?" Li Wen looked at Li Xiulan's reluctant eyes and said.

"Really Awen? You can still get old hens that lay eggs. I want three." Li Xiulan hurriedly looked up at Li Wen.

"Okay, but hens that are laying eggs are more expensive, three yuan each." Li Wen said, holding out three fingers.

"It's not expensive. I bought it. It's already very cheap. Hens that are still laying eggs are rare. Five yuan is not much." Li Xiulan decided directly.

"Okay, Auntie, I'll catch three of them from my place at once, so I don't have to give them to you tomorrow. I'll buy them then," Li Wen said.

"How can I get your chicken? What if you can't buy it anymore?" Li Xiulan shook her head repeatedly.

"Girl, you don't have to worry about it, I have a way."

After Li Wu and Li Quan finished moving their luggage, Li Wen took the chicken out of the cage and tied its mouth with a rubber band.

"Auntie, please go back first. When it gets dark later, let Brother Jiefang and Brother Wei bring the chickens back." Li Wen tied the three chickens and put them in a basket on his back and said to Li Xiulan.

"Well, I'll go back and clean up the cage first, and I'll ask Brother Wei Guo to bring you the money tomorrow." Li Xiulan looked at the three old hens and felt happy.

When it got dark, the Zhao Jiefang brothers took the hens back.

"Big brother and second brother, we are moving to a new house tonight and have something good to eat. You come in and help light the fire, and I will make some dough pancakes." Li Wen, who was kneading dough in the kitchen, looked at Li Wu and Li Wu who walked into the kitchen.

"Let's start with you. Second brother, you light the fire, and Awen, I'll help you knead the dough." Li Wu rolled up his sleeves and said.

Li Wen threw the noodles to Li Wu, scooped half a bowl of rice from the rice vat, and then started to make porridge.

"This meal tonight is really good! Fried shredded potatoes, braised pork, white flour pancakes, and rice porridge. It's more abundant than in previous years. I can't wait, let's eat!" Li Quan picked up a bowl

Zhang took a bite of the cake and said.

"Recently, when I eat at work, the soup is watery. I only had broth soup at the end of last month." Li Wu said as he picked up a piece of stew and put it in his mouth, then looked like he was enjoying it.

Li Wen's life has been very good recently, so he doesn't earn meat with his two brothers. He picked up the pancakes and ate them with shredded potatoes, which was also very delicious.

After dinner, the three brothers played cards for a while. It was a little late before they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Because the agreement with Peng Yuyan was for 11 p.m., Li Wen set the alarm clock for 10 p.m. When the time was up, he quietly opened the door and walked out.

Returning to the city gate yard, Li Wenxu returned to the space with the door closed. He tied the pig and put it on the cart like last time. At around eleven o'clock, Peng Yuyan opened the door on time.

"Let's go, Xiaowen."

Peng Yuyan pulled the cart, and the two of them went out at night. After killing the pigs and selling the pork, Li Wen quietly returned to the yard behind the government. In this way for five consecutive days, all six fat pigs were killed.

"Uncle Pei, Auntie, cut whichever piece you like." After killing the pig, Li Wen looked at the two of them with a smile and said.

Today was the last pig, and Lao Pei and his wife worked very hard, killing pigs and boiling water. Their labor and risks were worth dozens of dollars, so Li Wen was not stingy.

"Okay, I'll cut it myself without being polite." After saying that, Lao Pei cut a piece from the hip, and then cut a piece from the chest.

"Come here, your aunt will get a scale and weigh it to avoid cutting too much." Lao Pei said with a smile while holding up two pieces of meat.

"Uncle Pei, why don't you need to weigh it? I think these two pieces of meat weigh about ten kilograms." Li Wen looked at the size of the meat, which was only eleven kilograms at most.

"That's okay, I won't weigh it. But don't worry, Xiaowen, it won't be much more. I have been selling pork for decades, so this knife is quite accurate." Lao Pei said with a smile.

"Okay, that's it. Uncle and aunt, let's leave first. We will continue to cooperate when we have the opportunity in the future." Peng Yuyan also said hello to Lao Pei and his wife, and then the two pulled the pork and left.

"I've been very busy these days, killing pigs every night and selling meat during the day." Lao Pei said with a smile while pulling the cart.

"Uncle Peng, how are the sales of your three pigs going?" Li Wen responded with a smile from behind.

"It's almost sold. Pork is a hard currency these days. Who doesn't need it for weddings and funerals, to improve their lives, and to entertain guests? Each household only gets less than half a catty a month, and most of it is exchanged for grain.

Already."

"I also sell them in batches to save trouble. I only have a dozen kilograms of bacon left at home for my own consumption. We also need to improve our lives." Lao Peng said with a smile.

Through the laughter, Li Wen could tell that Peng Yuyan had gained a lot these days.

"Uncle, you only have so much meat left at home! I'll give you the last bucket of pig blood and pig head." Li Wen said after returning to the city gate courtyard.

"How about that? You keep the money from selling it." Peng Yuyan hurriedly waved away.

This pig head and half a bucket of pig blood can be sold for more than ten yuan. It is equivalent to a month's salary of a temporary worker, and he can't take it.

"Uncle, you are out of touch now. Our deal is a deal, and a favor is a favor."

"I've been killing my own pigs for the past three days, and you've been helping me. This is our favor, and I give it to you." Li Wen forced the pig's head into Peng Yuyan's hand.

"Xiao Wen, if you are like this, you will definitely become a big deal in the future." Peng Yuyan was instantly moved and gave a thumbs up to Li Wen.

After sending Peng Yuyan away, Li Wen put away the pork and then treated the sewage again.

Recently, Li Wen sold three pigs to Peng Yuyan, and then secretly sold more than 100 kilograms of them on the black market, bulging his pocket a lot.

Back in the room, Li Wen took inventory of his belongings. There were four stacks of big black tens stacked on the table, and there was a large pile of loose tickets on the bed, which amounted to almost five thousand yuan.

Now he has earned half of the ten-thousand-yuan household that only existed in the 1970s and 1980s. But with this money, Li Wen is already very satisfied and has nowhere to spend more.

After arriving in this era, he didn't have a golden finger. He followed every step he took and was cautious. He was afraid that he would do something outrageous and harm his family.

After counting the money, Li Wen didn't stay too long. He tidied up, took a shower, and returned to the yard behind the government.

The next day, Li Wen finished stewing the meat and made four buckets of pig blood. Two pots full of pig blood tofu looked very tempting.

It has been a week since Li Wen came to the county town. Today, Li Wen is going to go home. Then he will bring some of the prepared blood tofu and braised pork to his family.

Li Wen kept all the pig offal from the six pigs except for one pig head given to Peng Yuyan. He braised more than 200 kilograms of braised pork in total. If he kept it for himself, he could eat it until the Chinese New Year.

Recently, after spring, the family rarely eats meat. Braised pork and pig blood are also very nutritious. He can't finish eating so much, so he takes it home and gives it to the children and elderly people at home to try.

In the past few days, he asked a carpenter in the county to make a wooden box that could be tied up in the back seat. This way he could put some things in a place that others could not see and it would be more private.

He took out a few large pieces of blood tofu from the space and wrapped them carefully, then got some braised pork and rice and put them in the box.

"Xiao Wen, are you going out?" Seeing Li Wen pushing his bicycle out of the house, several aunts at the door greeted him.

Li Wen often chats with his neighbors recently, and they have become very familiar with each other.

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Kang, you are all here!" Li Wen said the date with a smile.
