Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 30: Gu Jin: "Eat Up, There’s Plenty!
"Isn’t one dollar and twenty cents too expensive?" Someone frowned and voiced their discontent.
"Indeed, this wild boar meat 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 immediately 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 mean. 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 meat ticket.
If you want to buy meat, go find my uncle to cut it for you. If anyone wants to buy that expensive meat 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 time, buying meat at the supply and marketing cooperative still required meat 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. Immediately, someone stepped forward and said, "Gu, brother, give me two pounds of meat."
"Coming!"
Uncle Gu approached with a bowl. As he walked over, he quickly shoved a few pieces of meat 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 meat for the woman who called out.
In the kitchen, Gu Jin saw the two bowls of meat on the table. The braised pork, with its balanced layers of fat and lean meat, rose from the bowls, though there was still more fat than lean.
At that time, people preferred fatty meat. In everyone’s eyes, lean meat couldn’t match the flavor of fatty meat. A bite was all meat aroma, and if you could eat the fragrant braised pork with a big steamed bun, that would be delicious.
An Mingji immediately 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 meat.
It had been many years since he had eaten meat. Since his grandmother passed away, he almost forgot the taste of meat.
He picked a piece of braised pork with distinct layers of fat and lean and eagerly put it into his mouth.
The meat was tender, fragrant, soft, fatty but not greasy. Although it didn’t quite melt in his mouth, the flavor was truly delicious!
An Mingji nearly swallowed his tongue; he felt like he barely chewed before the meat 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 meat to eat herself.
