The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Guo Zhenwu patted his thigh and decided to slaughter three extra pigs this year, a total of five pigs to be distributed to the villagers, so that everyone can have more joy in the festival, eat enough and have a prosperous new year.

Xu Xiufang's family lacked strong labor, and Dabao and Erbao had heavy schoolwork. The work points they earned from cutting grass for pigs and picking up cow dung were limited, so naturally they got less pork.

However, Xu Xiufang was not short of money and had more than enough money to join in the fun.

Besides, although the pork stored in the space is delicious, I would like to change the taste after a while.

Today's pork is not fed with hormone feed, but is grown on pure natural grass. The meat is so delicious that there is no need to explain it in detail.

When Xu Xiufang appeared in front of Guo Zhenwu, a bright smile suddenly broke out on his face.

In the past, Xu Xiufang would ask for pig offal every year. Guo Zhenwu guessed that this year would be no exception, so he prepared two large basins full of pig offal for her early on.

He said generously: "From Xie Yi's family. I know you like pig offal, so I saved it for you. If you want it all, I'll give you a discount. Two basins for a total of fourteen dollars!"

It sounded as if Xu Xiufang had taken great advantage.

There were five big fat pigs, and the total amount of pig offal was at least 150 kilograms. At 14 yuan, it was less than 10 cents per kilogram, which was half the price Xu Xiufang usually bought it for. It was indeed a good deal.

However, Xu Xiufang just smiled slightly, with a sly light in her eyes: "Captain, your words are really artistic."

Ingredients such as pig offal are often a second choice for ordinary families. After all, not everyone can cook delicious food at any cost like Xu Xiufang.

In the past, apart from Xu Xiufang, only families with a large population, few work points, and insufficient pork to meet their needs would consider buying offal.

This year, there is an ample supply of pork, so pork offal is naturally no longer as popular.

Guo Zhenwu's words "I'll take it all" obviously meant that he wanted Xu Xiufang to spend more money.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiufang saw through his plan and felt embarrassed. She quickly changed her words: "Well, make it cheaper, twelve yuan, take it all!"

Xu Xiufang shook her head gently, her black hair swaying with the movement, and a determined light flashed in her eyes: "This year, our family really won't consider buying pig offal."

Guo Zhenwu was stunned, mistakenly thinking that Xu Xiufang was trying to get a lower price by refusing. He couldn't help but secretly admire her shrewdness, and at the same time said with a bit of helplessness and distress: "Okay, okay, then ten yuan, no less. Although this pig offal is not top-grade meat, it is still meat. This price is already very fair!"

There was a hint of urgency in his words, trying to convince Xu Xiufang.

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang raised a helpless smile: "Captain, you misunderstood, I am not bargaining with you. This year, our family really does not need pig offal."

The processing of pig offal is cumbersome and time-consuming. Xu Xiufang recalled her experiences in previous years. Even if she only bought a dozen or twenty kilograms, it would take most of the day to clean and cook it, not to mention if she bought hundreds of kilograms. The workload would be unimaginable.

Moreover, even if she was willing to invest the time and energy, the family had a limited population and it was impossible for them to consume such a large amount of pig offal.

Seeing Xu Xiufang's firm attitude, Guo Zhenwu rubbed his hands back and forth anxiously, almost sweating: "Even if you only buy a little bit?"

"It's really not necessary."

Xu Xiufang shook her head again. Her mind had already turned to other things - she planned to buy some pork bones and take them home to make nutritious bone soup for the children to help them strengthen their bodies.

Guo Zhenwu was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

At this time, Xu Xiufang made a suggestion: "Why don't you save these pig offal and use them to improve the food for the children in the village. I see that you have a headache dealing with so many pig offal."

Guo Zhenwu frowned and said, "Without enough seasoning, the smell would be very pungent. How could the children bear it?"

Xu Xiufang answered confidently, "Seasoning is not a problem. There is a lot of fat from the pigs slaughtered this year, right? Leave some and make lard, then stew it with the pork offal. Add more chili peppers and the taste will be stronger. I guarantee the children will fight over it."

A light seemed to flash before Guo Zhenwu's eyes. This was indeed a good idea.

The money from selling meat was supposed to be shared among everyone, but in reality not much was given to each person. Wouldn't it be more meaningful if it could be used to improve the children's meals?

He made a quick decision and cleanly cut off a piece of fat and put it aside.

You know, fat meat is a scarce commodity nowadays, so it is inevitable that people in the team will have opinions.

But when the villagers in the back heard the conversation between Xu Xiufang and Guo Zhenwu and thought that their own children would also benefit from it, no one raised any objections.

After solving the problem of pig offal, Guo Zhenwu felt much better.

Before he could ask, Xu Xiufang's eyes had already fallen on the pig bones: "Give me thirty kilograms of shanks, a set of spare ribs, and four pig trotters."

Although the demand is not small, Xu Xiufang plans to use these ingredients to make nourishing soups for Xie Yi and the children. Besides, in this cold winter, there is no need to worry about the meat going bad.

Guo Zhenwu originally thought that since Xu Xiufang didn't want the pig offal, she probably wouldn't be interested in the parts with little meat like the pig bones. He was worried about how to deal with the pig bones. After all, he couldn't give them all to the children.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiufang took the initiative to ask for pork bones, which made Guo Zhenwu overjoyed, and he quickly weighed the required amount for her.

"Add another twenty pounds of pork!"

Xu Xiufang then gave another order.

There is an adequate supply of pork this year with no purchase restrictions. In addition, Xu Xiufang had just helped solve the big problem of pork bones, so Guo Zhenwu weighed out another 20 kilograms of fresh pork for her without saying a word.

The people around watched Xu Xiufang buy so much meat without hesitation. They didn't feel bad at all, but they seemed to be more heartbroken than she was.

"Geez, how much does this cost?"

Everyone looked at Xu Xiufang with both pity and envy as she returned with a full load, and whispered to each other: "This is really generous."

"You have a husband who eats commercial grains and your mother's family is rich. If it were you, wouldn't you also be generous?"

Those who had previously questioned Xu Xiufang's generosity were now silent.

"But to be honest, she sometimes seems quite distant, but sometimes she's really good at handling things!"

"How to say?"

Someone asked curiously.

"Didn't you notice? When the captain asked her if she wanted some pig offal, she directly refused. The captain's face changed. But she immediately gave him a solution and didn't embarrass him. Then she bought a lot of pork bones. Not only did the captain not have any complaints about her, but he became even more polite to her."

Everyone nodded. The discussion was quite loud and Guo Zhenwu also heard it and secretly agreed with it.

Although Xu Xiufang usually seems a little out of touch with reality, she can indeed solve problems at critical moments.

If Xu Xiufang knew what they were thinking, she might feel both amused and helpless.
