"Isn’t one dollar and twenty cents too expensive?" Soone frowned and voiced their discontent.
"Indeed, this wild boar at wasn’t bought by you; it was freely obtained from the mountain, selling it at one dollar and twenty cents is too pricey."
"Jin, girl, can’t you make it a bit cheaper..."
Hearing these words, Gu Jin’s smile remained unchanged, but the expression in her eyes gradually turned cold.
As Chen Hong listened to these people, her expression imdiately dropped. She stood with her hands on her hips and spoke out, "What are you all talking about? Our Jin risked her life to bring back this wild boar, and you still want to eat for free?"
"That’s not what we an. It’s just that your family didn’t spend a penny on this pork, so why sell it to us so expensively?"
The woman who first complained muttered under her breath.
Gu Jin glanced at her and recognized her as the wife of the village’s troublemaker, Liu Laoer.
Their son, Liu Dapeng, even bullied An Mingji yesterday.
Gu Jin smiled at everyone, but the glint in her eyes was icy cold. She spoke in a low voice, "Actually, if I took the pork to sell in the county, I could still fetch a high price. Now, considering our village’s ties, I’m selling it to you for one dollar and twenty cents, and that’s without needing a at ticket.
If you want to buy at, go find my uncle to cut it for you. If anyone wants to buy that expensive at at the supply and marketing cooperative, we won’t stop you."
Having said that, Gu Jin took the hand of the child beside her and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
These people could buy or not; even if they didn’t buy this pork, she could still sell it elsewhere.
In fact, the price she’d get selling it elsewhere would be much higher.
At that ti, buying at at the supply and marketing cooperative still required at tickets. Many speculators in the county and city were scrambling for these, and pork was currently the hottest selling item.
After hearing these words, the crowd realized that Liu Laoer’s wife had offended Gu Jin. Imdiately, soone stepped forward and said, "Gu, brother, give two pounds of at."
"Coming!"
Uncle Gu approached with a bowl. As he walked over, he quickly shoved a few pieces of at from the bowl into his mouth. When passing by Chen Hong, he handed her the bowl and chopsticks.
He picked up the knife next to him and started cutting at for the woman who called out.
In the kitchen, Gu Jin saw the two bowls of at on the table. The braised pork, with its balanced layers of fat and lean at, rose from the bowls, though there was still more fat than lean.
At that ti, people preferred fatty at. In everyone’s eyes, lean at couldn’t match the flavor of fatty at. A bite was all at aroma, and if you could eat the fragrant braised pork with a big stead bun, that would be delicious.
An Mingji imdiately noticed the two bowls of braised pork on the table, and his mouth involuntarily watered.
Seeing him like this, Gu Jin laughed and led him to the table, "Eat, there’s plenty!"
As she didn’t move, An Mingji also didn’t do anything.
Seeing this, Gu Jin sat down, handed the bowl full of braised pork to An Mingji’s hands, "Eat quickly, it won’t taste as good when it’s cold."
"Okay."
An Mingji sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat the at.
It had been many years since he had eaten at. Since his grandmother passed away, he almost forgot the taste of at.
He picked a piece of braised pork with distinct layers of fat and lean and eagerly put it into his mouth.
The at was tender, fragrant, soft, fatty but not greasy. Although it didn’t quite lt in his mouth, the flavor was truly delicious!
An Mingji nearly swallowed his tongue; he felt like he barely chewed before the at was already down his throat.
Seeing him eat contentedly, Gu Jin also picked up a bowl and selected a few pieces of braised pork with more lean at to eat herself.
