Life is a Game

Jiang Feng's feet seemed to be rooted on the floor of Chen Xiuxiu's house, and he couldn't move a step.

"Xiuxiu, are you sure you have pigs in your house?" Jiang Feng had a look of surprise and disbelief.

Chen Xiuxiu: ...

With all due respect, she felt that Jiang Feng's words seemed to be cursing.

"Yes, isn't it normal to have pigs? Doesn't your grandfather also raise pigs?" Chen Xiuxiu looked puzzled.

Jiang Feng quickly calmed down. The Chen family had a large population, and it was quite normal for Chen Xiuxiu's grandparents to raise one or two new year pigs to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year.

"No, what I mean is, do you have any extra pigs in your family?" Jiang Feng asked.

Chen Xiuxiu: ...

Chen Xiuxiu took a deep look at Jiang Feng, her expression was very meaningful, she hesitated to speak, and then said after a pause: "Is the business of Taifeng Building not so good recently?"

The mental pressure is so great that I start talking nonsense.

Jiang Feng: ...

Jiang Feng put down the electric kettle, took a few minutes to explain the ins and outs to Chen Xiuxiu, and emphasized how terrible it was for the Jiang family to lose pork during the Chinese New Year.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a big crisis.

After understanding the cause and effect, Chen Xiuxiu was also in a bit of a dilemma: "My grandma usually raises two pigs a year. Except for our family to eat, they sell them to other families in the village. If they want to buy pork, they usually make an agreement with the pig farmers years ago. , it must be very difficult to buy a whole or half domestic pig at this time."

"Isn't Uncle Jiang very familiar with the people in the slaughterhouse and the pig farm? Just let Uncle Jiang go to the slaughterhouse to buy it." Chen Xiuxiu suggested.

"The good pigs were basically sold out a few years ago, and my parents went to the slaughterhouse in the next city to inquire about the news." Jiang Feng sighed, "It's okay, there are still a few days, I'll think about it again Another way."

"How about this, I'll call tomorrow to ask if there is any pork left at Grandpa's house, and if there is any pork left, I will give it to you." Chen Xiuxiu said.

"Xiuxiu, I knew you were reliable at the critical moment!" Jiang Feng was very moved. He didn't expect that his friendship with Chen Xiuxiu was so deep that he could even order some pork for himself on the eve of the new year, and he almost burst into tears.

With tears in his eyes, Jiang Feng took the electric kettle home to boil water.

The next morning, Chen Xiuxiu gave Jiang Feng good news. Their family could sell Jiang Feng 20 catties of meat and a pig's front hoof at the market price.

Jiang Feng shared the good news with De Ge at the first time, and then Jiang Zai dragged him into a mysterious group chat called the Pork Buying Group.

The group members are all members of the Jiang family except the old man, the third grandpa and Grandma Jiang.

Jiang Feng felt that during his absence, he had been invisible and isolated by everyone in the Jiang family.

After Jiang Zaide's explanation, Jiang Feng realized that because whole pigs are hard to buy, everyone actually went to various places to buy loose meat on the premise of trying to buy whole pigs. This group chat was built to facilitate everyone to send messages to each other and buy pork.

Jiang Feng's act of asking Chen Xiuxiu to buy pork opened a new door for the members of the Jiang family who were suffering from not being able to buy pork.

Before, they were limited to vegetable markets, slaughterhouses and pig farmers they knew. Jiang Feng's new operation allowed them to discover a new way to buy pork. Relatives, friends, customers, classmates, bosses, neighbors, as long as you have contact information, everyone will contact you once, and report to the group once you have gained anything. Every day, the fifth aunt will summarize and judge how much meat is left from a whole pig. .

Drops of water can penetrate rocks, small streams can form rivers and seas, and a single spark can start a prairie fire. With the joint efforts of all the salesmen of the Jiang family, a major breakthrough of 1/4 pigs was finally completed on the 28th day of the Lunar New Year.

Jiang Feng's record of purchasing pig's trotters from Chen Xiuxiu's family has never been broken. Except for Jiang Feng, no member of the Jiang family has successfully purchased pig's trotters. The best result is Jiang Jiankang's forced purchase of half a rib from an old friend.

Now, the Jiang family's pork purchase has reached a stalemate.

In the past few days, everyone has found all the relatives and friends that everyone can find, and people who have not gone to seek help for the double 11 building have also contacted one after another for pork.

Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian received many calls every day, asking if their numbers had been hacked.

But judging from the current acquisition situation, it is still hopeless to be half a pig away from everyone's lowest goal.

But at least there will be meat to eat during the Chinese New Year. Although the slaughtered pig dishes are likely to be incomplete, but the pig's trotters and braised pork can still be expected.

The twenty-ninth day of the new year was the day to test the results. Whether it was Jiang Feng who harvested a whole pig's front hoof, or Jiang Junlian who didn't even get a pig's tail, they had to go back to the countryside with their flesh and blood.

Jiang Feng was still the last one to arrive.

Chen Xiuxiu's hometown was about three hours away from the old man's village. In order to save Jiang Feng from taking it back, Chen Duxiu specially asked someone to drop by to take the meat to the county closest to the old man's house.

So Jiang Feng took the minibus to the county first, got the pork, and then transferred to the countryside.

The pork was frozen in the freezer to keep it fresh. After so long on the road, when Jiang Feng dragged the pork sack back to the countryside, the meat in the sack had already thawed and started to ooze blood.

Jiang Feng dragged the sack all the way over, inevitably stained with blood, and looked in a mess.

Although embarrassed, Jiang Feng was happy in his heart.

There is even a little pride and a little pride.

Today, on this important day of delivery, he, Jiang Feng, will definitely come out on top, beating all his cousins, uncles, and aunts, and becoming the best pork buyer in the Jiang family.

The first person in the Jiang family to buy pigs!

Thinking about it, I was a little excited.

With excitement, Jiang Feng picked up the sack and walked to the old man's house.

Dragging is too imposing, and you must carry it to have momentum.

There is a whole big pig's trotter in his sack!

Big trotters!

complete!

Today's Jiang Feng is destined to be extremely brilliant.

The door was wide open, and Jiang Feng arrogantly entered the house carrying a sack on his shoulders.

"Grandpa, I'm back..." Before Jiang Feng could finish his words, he heard a strange voice.

"Baa." It sounded like a sheep bleating.

"JaJa." It sounded like a duck but not quite like it, it was a little deeper than a duck's call. There is no cautious feeling like a duck calling, but it is more like scolding, very imposing.

"Xiaofeng is back, I'm just waiting for you, come to the yard quickly." Fifth Aunt poked her head out from inside with a smile on her face, she still had her apron on her body, she seemed to be working.

Jiang Feng was a little confused. He felt that today's script might not be what he imagined. The arrogance before entering the door was completely gone, and he followed Fifth Aunt with a sack on his shoulders.

As soon as he entered the yard, Jiang Feng was dumbfounded.

All he could see were two geese, three sheep and a bastard crawling on the ground. The plot was completely different from what he had imagined.

Where did these geese, sheep and bastards come from?

Jiang Feng stood there dumbfounded.

"Don't carry the sack, Xiaofeng. It's so tiring. Alas, it's still oozing blood. Be careful to get your clothes dirty. Come on, Fifth Aunt will help you move it to the kitchen." Fifth Aunt road.

Jiang Feng and Fifth Aunt transported the sack to the kitchen together. As soon as they entered the kitchen, Jiang Feng heard Jiang Zaide's voice.

"Grandpa, my little brother said that he bought a pig's front hoof and it will arrive soon. This year's pig-killing dishes will definitely not be able to be done. We only buy loose meat but not whole pigs, and there is no blood sausage. But I When I came back, I happened to see a sheep seller, and the sellers were all northern sheep, this pork is not enough, how about we make mutton dishes?"

"That's right, Grandpa, Junqing and I went to uncle's house to bring two big geese. Can we roast big geese for the New Year's Eve dinner?" This was Jiang Junlian's voice.

"Yes, Dad, look at the black fish I bought. It weighs more than 8 catties, which is heavier than the one caught from the pond last year. It's wild, and the meat is absolutely tender!" This is Jiang Jianguo.

"Dad, take a quick look at my deer meat!" This is Jiang Jiankang.

"Grandpa, I entrusted my former client to buy that turtle in the yard. It's wild, definitely wild!" This is Jiang Shoucheng.

"And this suzi meat..."

Jiang·Candide·Feng still holding the sack: ...

Damn, I lost.
