Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 3: Selling wild boar meat; the talkative Aunt Li

Gu Wu was illiterate, and Gu Yu was sent to school to learn a few words when he was a child, but because he had no interest in reading, he only learned some basic words and stopped going to school.

He said to Gu Yu: "Yu'er, go and weigh the meat."

Gu Yu agreed: "Hey! I'll go get the scale first."

Her family of three could not eat all the vegetables grown in the garden, so her mother, Yang, would pick some and sell them in the town. There was a scale at home. She went to her parents' room and took out the scale and put it on the table. Then she took a big kitchen knife and started chopping meat: "Uncle, do you want fat meat or lean meat, or pork legs?"

The villager said: "Bring me ten pounds of fat meat." He was afraid that he would be late and not be able to buy good meat. Although wild boar has a strong and fishy taste and is hard and woody, like chewing wax, villagers still like to buy it. That’s pork too!
It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted meat. I just happened to buy some today to make a delicious dish for the children.

In this world, since there are not many opportunities to eat meat, people cherish it. When everyone buys pork, they will choose the fatter one, because it will have enough oil and water to give them strength.

Gu Yu quickly cut off a large piece of fat and put it on the scale. It was exactly one tael more than ten kilograms. He smiled and said, "Ten kilograms, fifty cents!"

The man looked at the precise knife skills and nodded with satisfaction: "Your skills are really accurate! No more, no less, exactly ten pounds and one tael." He counted out fifty cents from his wallet and gave it to me, and then said: " I won't give you the money for that one tael, it's not easy to calculate. Come to my house for dinner another day."

The reason why Gu Yu gave him an extra ounce of meat was because we were all from the same village, and business could not be too rigid and needed to be flexible.

Giving him an extra piece of meat would not only win him praise and good reputation, but also allow other villagers to see her integrity. He was the first guest to come to my house, and he bought a lot of meat. He was specially given two ribs, tied with palm leaves and handed to him: "Uncle, you are the first guest to come to my house. These two ribs are for you." Let the child stew it and eat it."

The man looked at the ribs in Gu Yu's hand and said with a smile in his eyes: "No, no, you can keep it and sell it!"

Gu Yu looked at his back as he hurriedly left, and with a slight toss, the ribs fell steadily into the bamboo basket where he held the meat.

The man was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Uncle, I just thanked Xiaoyu for the ribs."

Gu Yu responded happily: "You're welcome."

On the way back, the man thought to himself: Gu Wu is an honest, weak and talkative man. Unexpectedly, even if the daughter he gave birth to was stronger than an ordinary woman, even she had to praise her for her strength and conduct.

The villagers who met Gu Yuzhen held up the meat on their hands and said that there was no shortage of meat.

After hearing what he said, the villagers came to Gu's family to buy meat with their money. "Girl Yu, how do you sell the front and rear legs of pigs?"

Someone asked, and Gu Yu replied with a smile: "The pork front leg meat is relatively tender, and the hind leg meat is a bit hard, but they are both good meat!"

Because the meat of the pig's front legs is particularly tender and smooth, with a delicate texture, it is very suitable for cooking methods such as stir-frying, making dumplings or braised pork.

Because the pig's front legs exercise more, the meat is more delicious, with alternating fat and lean meat. There is also a piece of delicious plum meat. "The front leg meat is 200 yuan a piece, and the hind leg meat is 150 yuan a piece."

It's April now, the food is plentiful, and the wild boar is also very fat. The two front legs weigh almost 34 kilograms. Due to the ample amount of meat.

A woman standing in the front row frowned and asked, "Can it be cheaper?"

Gu Yu shook his head: "The price in town is twice as expensive as here, and the front leg meat costs three to four hundred yuan. I sell it so cheaply because everyone is a neighbor in the village."

The visitor rolled his eyes: "Oh, it's not as expensive as you said in this town. I bought it for only 100 cents two days ago!"

Gu Yu suddenly slapped the kitchen knife on the table and said angrily: "If it's too expensive, go to the town and buy it. Don't block the people behind you here." This woman is Aunt Li, a famous talkative woman in the village. She usually has a bad mouth and is very stingy. Gu Yu is not afraid of her. If she gets angry, he will beat her up regardless of whether he is a man or a woman.

Aunt Li was frightened by Gu Yu, but she still refused to admit defeat. She pointed at the suet and asked, "How do you sell this?"

Gu Yu waved his machete and gestured: "Suet is ten cents a pound."

Four large wild boars can produce eight pieces of suet. Gu Wu told her that he planned to keep a piece of the oil he refined to eat, give one piece to his aunt, give the other piece to his grandparents, and sell the remaining five pieces to those in need.

Aunt Li hesitated for a long time holding the copper coins in her hand, and the people behind her became impatient: "Aunt Li, do you want to buy it or not? If not, let us pass."

There was a long queue in front of the wild boar stall, with more than twenty people already waiting.

Aunt Li was interested, but was hesitant because of the price. She thought about how to negotiate the price or try to get it for free. When she heard the complaints from other villagers, she immediately retorted: "Of course I want to buy it, otherwise why would I be queuing up here? Why queue up if I can't bear to pay?"

The villagers were speechless for a moment. Seeing this scene, Gu Yu impatiently interrupted: "Aunt Li, if you want to buy, hurry up. If you don't want to buy, get out of the way. You know my character, don't cause trouble in my house." There was a warning in her words.

In the past, Aunt Li once criticized Yang and Gu Wu, saying that Yang was a hen that could not lay eggs and Gu Wu was a coward who would not have offspring.

After Yang gave birth to Gu Yu, she maliciously spread rumors, accusing Yang of stealing someone behind Gu Wu's back. It was even said that Gu Wu could not get a woman pregnant, and it was Yang who borrowed such bad words.

These rumors made the villagers criticize their family, which brought great pressure and humiliation to the Yang family.

As time went by, Gu Yu gradually grew up, and her appearance was very similar to Gu Wu, which made the rumors self-defeating.

Because she had no close male relatives, Yang was spared the stigma of "stealing people" and "borrowing seeds."

As for why Aunt Li understood Gu Yu's temper, it was because when Gu Yu was ten years old, she heard Aunt Li spread rumors about her family again, so she grabbed Aunt Li's hair and beat her hard, knocking out two front teeth.

From then on, those disgusting people said a lot less.

Aunt Li usually didn't dare to visit Gu Yu's house, but she came today because she was greedy and wanted to buy meat.

After hearing Gu Yu's words, she shivered with fright. Aunt Li's eyes flickered to avoid her, and she pointed at the suet on the table and said, "Cut a pound for me."

Gu Yu cut off a pound of suet and threw it over, then took out a wooden bucket to collect the money, "Ten cents."

Aunt Li paid the money reluctantly, twisted her waist and left.

When the villagers in the back saw that Aunt Li had finally left, they all paid for meat, "Xiao Yu, uncle wants five kilograms of pork belly, twenty kilograms of fat meat, thirty kilograms of suet, and a pig hind leg."

Gu Yu quickly cut off the pork belly and fat meat and put them on the scale to weigh them, "Pork belly is four cents per catty, five catties is twenty cents, large fat meat is five cents per catty and fifty cents, and suet is thirty catties and three hundred cents." ." Then he picked up the pig's hind legs and said, "The pig's hind legs are one hundred and fifty cents, and the total is five hundred and twenty cents."

Uncle Eighth is the son of the village chief, and his family is wealthy. The money is not small for him, but it is not unaffordable.
