The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

There's really no way to tell.

Everyone nodded.

Someone asked loudly about the price.

Gu Mancang said: "Now the price of mutton outside has reached 80 cents per catty, and the meat from one sheep head is between one and a half catties. We raise sheep at our own base, and they are cheaper than outside. Just one sheep The first dollar is a piece of sheep's hoof."

A sheep head weighs one and a half kilograms of meat, and the market price is one yuan and two. What's more, there is such a big piece of sheep bone, and it is really cheap to sell it for one yuan.

When everyone heard this, they immediately started talking. Some people said: "One dollar can buy ten sheep's hooves. I think sheep's hooves are still a good deal."

Some people also said: "The sheep's hooves are small, they look about the same."

There was a lot of discussion, a lot of excitement, and little action.

On the other side, the sisters-in-law brought out the scales and were ready to divide the water. Xia Chunhua said loudly: "Everyone, listen to me. Whoever I call will come and pick it up."

Everyone agreed in a hurry. When she called a name, someone went out with a basin, put it on the scale and weighed the basin. Some of the sisters-in-law cut the sheep's blood, some took the internal organs, and added enough portions little by little. Read the following.

Song Zhian stood on tiptoe and watched for a while, then asked Xie Chengzhi: "Our total weight is only 140 kilograms, and we can carry it back alone. Why did Xiaomin let so many of us follow and carry several buckets?" "

It looked like he was here to watch the fun.

Xie Chengzhi shook his head: "I was asked to bring money, probably because I want to buy a sheep head."

Song Zhian's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Xiaomin only bought back one sheep, so he won't be able to eat a few meals." After waiting for a while, listening to Xia Chunhua calling names one by one, he felt that the educated youth point was at the end, and she muttered, "Otherwise, we Are you going to buy a sheep head first?”

Xie Chengzhi shook his head: "Xiaomin said it will be the last word."

Anyway, Zhu Xiaomin couldn’t bear the loss.

Everyone can only wait patiently.

There were more than 500 people in the team, which was more than 70 families. They were divided quickly. Finally, they arrived at the educated youth point. Xie Chengzhi walked over carrying a large wooden barrel.

Huang Xiaojuan laughed when she saw it: "Everyone else is using basins, but you are using buckets, but our scale is not big enough."

Xie Chengzhi also laughed: "Our family has a big business and a large population, and the basin can't hold it all."

Huang Xiaojuan smiled and weighed the various internal organs, and asked the sisters-in-law to weigh them and put them into buckets. Then she asked, "Do you want sheep heads and hooves?"

Xie Chengzhi said with a smile: "No rush, let the fellow villagers buy it first."

In such a short time, only three sheep heads were sold, but twenty or thirty sheep hooves were sold.

After that, there were only a few families left, and Nie Yifei and Shi Meijun were the last ones, and they bought two more sheep heads and ten sheep hooves.

There are still some sheep left in the water, and the brigade headquarters will keep them. After a few days, the food will be distributed. If you want to try new food, you will eat it together.

Seeing that no one was moving, Zhu Xiaomin said, "Is there anyone else buying sheep heads and hooves?"

Huang Xiaojuan and Xia Chunhua shouted several times, but everyone still stood and watched the excitement, and no one moved.

Zhu Xiaomin said with a smile: "Then we bought the rest, and the sisters-in-law helped count them."

After saying this, everyone was shocked. Huang Xiaojuan asked: "Do you want them all?"

Zhu Xiaomin spread his hands: "There are many of us, and a hundred pounds of water looks like a lot, but in fact we can't eat much. Don't you want to prepare something for the New Year?"

The water is distributed according to the head. If you don’t have enough, other people’s families don’t have enough either.

For a while, many people regretted not buying a sheep head just now, but they were hesitant and unable to make up their minds after thinking about a dollar.

The educated youth understood it, no wonder she wanted to buy it last, and bought everything in front of her, so as to avoid the objections of those behind her.

However, Xia Chunhua came back to her senses, pushed Huang Xiaojuan, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaomin is getting married at the end of the year, but she is different from us."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said generously: "Yes, we are getting married on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month. Then the educated youth will set up a flowing banquet and drink mutton soup. Everyone has a part to listen and go there to make it lively."

We are getting married, and we have to treat everyone to mutton soup. This is a big deal.

Except for Shi Meijun and Nie Yifei last year, no one in the village has been so wealthy.

When everyone heard this, they all congratulated one after another. The housekeeper's sisters-in-law were already thinking about how many children they would take with them and whether they should borrow a few.

Knowing that the educated youth bought the sheep's head for Zhu Xiaomin's wedding, and knowing that Zhu Xiaomin was marrying Lu Mingzheng, no one came to snatch the sheep's head again, and everyone was talking about it with all kinds of envy.

Nie Yifei heard these words in his ears, and when he saw the smile on Zhu Xiaomin's face, he felt very unhappy.

She was supposed to be his, but he lost her.

Shi Meijun glanced at him, snorted coldly, pulled him away, and said in a medium voice: "What are you looking at? No matter how good you are, you can't go back to the city. Of course, I will choose the better one."

Does this mean that Zhu Xiaomin picked Lu Mingzheng because Lu Mingzheng returned to the city?

Everyone heard these words clearly and looked at Zhu Xiaomin unconsciously.

Huang Xiaojuan frowned: "Who is this person? He insists on causing trouble for such a happy event."

Zhu Xiaomin was putting the sheep heads and hooves that her sisters-in-law had counted into buckets, and said, "It doesn't matter, I just like to see her jealous of me and unable to do anything about me."

everyone:"……"

Okay, you're more irritating than that one.

After the work was done, the young men from the educated youth point each carried a big bucket and returned home with a full load.

When Miao Shiwen saw that he had brought back a lot of sheep heads and hooves, he was surprised and amused: "We can really eat them all winter." He opened the granary and put things in.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "We don't necessarily have to eat it ourselves. We will take some out later and see if we can exchange for some chickens."

The chickens at the base are collective property and cannot be touched. The two I raise are waiting to lay eggs and cannot be slaughtered. If you want to eat chickens, you can only exchange them with food.

makes sense!

When everyone heard this, they became more energetic and immediately started to clean up the granary and vegetable cellar. Then they found out about the market opening in Baima Town. Xing Qingsheng, Song Zhian, and Zhou Dong picked up some grain and sheep heads and went over the mountain to Baima Town.

Luohandong Commune, where Baima Town is located, also belongs to Beishan Forest Farm, but it is close to Beishan Reservoir and the mountain is relatively flat. The conditions are relatively better than that of Ciyaokou Commune.

Good conditions are only relative. Food will still run out at the end of the year, and it's time to prepare New Year's goods. When I saw someone carrying food and a lot of sheep heads into the town, a lot of people immediately gathered around.

After some haggling, I exchanged a dozen sheep heads and dozens of kilograms of grain for a total of more than twenty fish and six chickens, and I came back happily.

Passing by the village, people in the village they met asked curious questions. The three of them smiled and answered all the way back to the educated youth point.

The news that the educated youth had exchanged sheep heads for fish and chickens immediately spread in the village, and everyone was indescribably envious.

But when he touched the pocket sewn on the inside of his pants, he shook his head and sighed.

I had just earned a hundred yuan, and those sheep heads and hooves were worth tens of yuan more. These educated youths didn't know how to live, they were really city people.
