"Wait a minute. We'll finish lunch. If Wen Nian hasn't come back yet, I'll go find him." Su Jianmin said.
Bai Lu nodded and said "OK" and subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the village, hoping that Wen Nian's unit would let him come back soon.
"Lao Su!" Luo Youlong's voice suddenly sounded at the door of the courtyard, "We are here to see the pigs..."
Su Jianmin had already negotiated with him before and agreed to use the two extra pigs from the Su family as the village's new year pigs. They would be killed on New Year's Eve and the members would be divided according to their work points, which would be regarded as a dividend at the end of the year.
"Didn't you say we would kill in the afternoon?" Su Jianmin asked doubtfully, "Did you change the time?"
Luo Youlong shook his head and explained, "No, it's Lao Wen who wants to calculate in advance how many kilograms of pork each person can get. He asked me to come over and weigh the two pigs first..."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Su Jianmin noticed that Luo Youlong was followed by about a dozen members of the production team, two of whom were carrying a scale in their hands, and worried: "Those two pigs are very heavy, and the scale you are bringing may be too small."
"Haha, you don't have to worry about that," Luo Youlong said with a smile, "Although the scales in our production team are small, they have a unique way of weighing pigs!"
Jinbao heard the noise outside and walked out of the door curiously.
She saw Uncle Luo and five or six people following her father into the pig pen, covering the pig's head with a sack, then taking it out of the pig pen and tying it to a ladder. Then four people lifted the ladder and placed it on the scale.
Start weighing.
Since these two pigs were not the task pigs handed over, the family did not take care of them much after the pigs were handed over before, and only fed pig grass once a day. Su Jianmin guessed that they should be much lighter than the task pigs, but he did not expect them.
It weighed over two hundred and fifty pounds.
Hao Feng, an educated youth who was following Luo Youlong, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, "Captain, these two pigs add up to 517 kilograms! On average, how much meat can each of us educated youths get?"
"We won't know until we calculate this later."
"Our village has less than 300 members, so each person can get at least one and a half kilograms of meat..."
Before Hao Feng could finish speaking, Jin Bao, who was standing next to the pig, chuckled softly, "Brother, you can't count it like that!
Pig blood and bones account for 20% of the weight of this pig. In addition, there are also internal organs such as heart, liver, lungs, large and small intestines, and pig skin... In short, the meat yield is estimated to be only half
, your half pound of meat needs to be divided by two."
"Jinbao, you are so smart!" Luo Youlong praised, "I didn't even think of this just now."
"Uncle Luo, after all, these two pigs are not pigs raised by the production team. I think they should not be divided according to the work points of the production team members, but should be divided by the whole village," Jinbao said, "otherwise those old people without children will not
Aren’t you going to get a share of the meat?”
Su Xiaosi agreed: "My sister is right. This is not a pig from the production team. It came to our home from the mountains and was raised by the whole village. Why should it be calculated according to work points? I think it should be done by each family.
Each household gets a little."
Before Luo Youlong could respond, Hao Feng frowned and said, "According to work points, each of us can only get seven or eight taels of meat. There are a total of four to five hundred people in the village. If everyone shares the meat together, everyone will share it."
There’s not much meat left…”
"You guys still want to share seven or eight taels of meat? Are you thinking too much?" Another member said, "The work points are based on the total work points for the whole year. How many days have you been in our village? Calculate it.
If you can get a piece of meat, you should laugh."
After he finished speaking, everyone else laughed, "That's right! It was good luck for the educated youth to get the two yuan from selling the pigs last time. This time, I don't think we can divide the pork evenly, otherwise it would be too unfair.
.”
"It has to be based on work points. This is only fair..."
Everyone started arguing over the way to divide the pork.
"Okay, stop arguing!" Luo Youlong interrupted them, "After all, these pigs are raised by the Su family, not our production team. Let Lao Su decide how to divide the pork."
Su Jianmin was stunned for a moment, looked at Jinbao, and said hesitantly: "Well..."
Jinbao was also a little confused at this time. Although she had previously thought that the elderly without children should share some meat for the New Year, but there were indeed too many people in a village. If they were divided evenly, those who had done the most for the village throughout the year would
I am afraid that the young and middle-aged people who have worked the hardest may complain because they feel that after a year of hard work, they are getting the same amount of pork as those who have not worked.
"Dad, can I make a suggestion?" Su Nanbing said suddenly as he walked out of the house.
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to him.
"Ah! Isn't this a comrade who is a soldier?" Because of Sunan Bing's profession, everyone naturally had a kind of respect and admiration for him, and they all said, "please tell me what good ideas you have? We all listen to you!"
"Oh, yes, yes, we all listen to you, how do you think this pork should be divided..."
Jinbao looked at her second brother, her big and spiritual eyes shining with curiosity, wondering what good ideas the second brother would have.
"My sister just said that the meat yield of a pig only accounts for half of the weight of the pig. The rest is pig blood, viscera, bones and other things. Pig blood and viscera are edible, although the bones cannot be eaten.
But it’s also delicious when used to make soup.
I think we can distribute them to the elderly and children in the village, as a sign of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
As for other pork, it should be divided according to social workers’ wages, so everyone thinks it’s fair, right?”
As soon as Su Nanbing said this, everyone felt that this division was fine, and they all nodded and said, "Is that how we divide it?"
Only Hao Feng pursed his lips, thinking that if he divided it like this, he might really only be able to divide one or two pieces of meat and eat two bites and then it would be gone.
At noon, he returned to the house where the educated youth lived and talked to other educated youths about dividing the pork.
"Don't complain, just one or two. We really didn't work for many days."
"Although I also want to eat pork, there is nothing I can do about it..."
After they talked, Liu Changping told Xie Shuting separately about the pork sharing.
Xie Shuting was not interested in pork and waved her hand, "Okay, why are you telling me all this? I don't care how much pork I get, you are the only one who wants to eat every day..."
Liu Changping couldn't help but muttered: "I'm not the only one who thinks about eating. Everyone usually doesn't have enough to eat, let alone meat. They haven't even eaten rice for a long time. Of course I want to eat better during the New Year."
"Whether you eat meat, rice, corn or potatoes, it's all the same..."
Xie Shuting sat on the stone at the entrance of the village, holding her chin with one hand, sighing into the distance: "It's New Year's Eve today, why hasn't Wennian come back yet? Wenli told me before that Aunt Bai said Wennian would go home today,
