Chapter 339 Buying Meat

The boy's father Zhou Hai smiled innocently and said nothing. The one who answered was Zhou Bo, the second uncle who insisted on moving the family to Houcheng.

"The most important thing is that Houcheng Academy is about to be completed. Our family settled in Houcheng, which will be convenient for you to study in the future."

After Zhou Bo finished speaking, he glanced at Lv Songli and her surroundings without leaving a trace, and then quickly retracted his gaze.

Zhou Bo is a famous lawyer in Liucheng, Liaoxi County, and is best at observing words and expressions.

With just one glance, he knew that this woman's status was not low. First of all, she had a good demeanor. Looking at the surroundings, the people scattered around the teahouse were guarding, and they should be her people.

Lv Songli, on the other hand, looked at Zhou Bo unexpectedly when she heard the words, thinking that this man had some knowledge.

But she was not in a hurry to get to know him. Since he had arrived in Houcheng, he must have ideas.

These talents are like high-quality seeds. What she has to do is to open the upward channel, ensure the fairness and justice of the overall environment, and wait for their growth and performance.

She treated the children the same way, letting them grow naturally and then serve Liaodong County and the entire group.

Hongluo whispered, "Sixth Madam, it's getting late, shall we go back?"

"Let's go." Lu Songli put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and walked out.

Hongluo is a maid trained by her mother, who is proficient in writing. Her mother bought a batch of maids from the human traffickers to train, and Hongluo is one of the best among this batch of maids.

After she released Bingmo before exile, she had no capable maid around her. Later, during the exile and after arriving in Liaodong County, she did not use maids due to her status. But she is too busy now and needs maids to handle the trivial matters of life.

As soon as Lu Songli left, her people quickly followed.

Zhou Bo looked at the tea shop that was mostly empty and thought that his guess just now was correct.

Zhou Hai glanced at the sky and said quickly, "Second brother, let's drink tea and go too? Let's go into the city and find a place to stay."

"Okay, let's go now." Zhou Bo drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and stood up.

The family set off again. Zhou Hai pushed the cart and Zhou Bo carried a pair of baskets. They consciously walked along the official road. However, Zhou Dasao was carrying a bag and holding her youngest son in her hand. She walked next to her husband and unconsciously occupied the road.

When Zhou Dasao heard the sound of a carriage behind her, she was a little panicked. She wanted to avoid it and move to the side. But at this time, the bag was untied and the things inside fell to the ground.

This time, Luo Tieniu was the driver of the carriage. He stopped the carriage from a distance and said loudly, "Sister, don't panic, take your time, we will wait for you to pack before going over."

They even helped to stop a carriage behind them.

"Thank you, thank you."

Mrs. Zhou quickly stuffed the child to her husband and bent down to pick up things.

Other members of the Zhou family also stepped forward to help.

When they finished picking up the things on the road and moved to the side, Luo Tieniu smiled at them when he drove the carriage past.

"The people in Houcheng are quite kind." Mrs. Zhou sighed.

Zhou Hai also nodded in agreement, "Yes."

Zhou Bo smiled and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, it seems that our decision to move to Houcheng is still correct."

Last time, he fled at the last minute, causing the Qiao family father and son to lose the lawsuit. The Qiao family father and son resented him and often tripped him up, which had a great impact on his work.

As long as he took the case, there were many twists and turns, resulting in few people willing to find him later.

Even if He Ziqi, the county magistrate, handled it impartially, it could not change the fact that he had a hard time in Liucheng. After all, people want to win the lawsuit. Who would be willing to lose half of it if they find him?

Even his elder brother was implicated by him, and it was difficult for him to make a living.

He knew that Liucheng was no longer suitable for their family to survive.

Later, he learned about the situation in Liaodong County from his friends, and came to see it in person. After seeing it, he went back to persuade his family to move.

Now it seems that Houcheng is really good, and the people are good.

Later, Zhou Bo entered the county governor's office to work, and only then did he know that the person he met today was actually the chief planner and commander behind Liaodong County.

The next day, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Grain and Oil Store opened again. This time they did not sell affordable grain, but slaughtered rabbit meat. Each household registration book was limited to one catty, and each catty of meat cost fifteen cents.

Because the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Grain and Oil Store always puts in affordable grain several times a month, and the time is uncertain, so the people pay great attention to it.

Not long after the store hung up the sign, before the store opened, a long line formed outside.

The guys held the household registration book in one hand and the basket in the other, and started chatting.

"I didn't expect that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's grain and oil store actually sells rabbit meat? I wonder if they will add chicken and duck meat in the future?"

"Fifteen cents a pound, not expensive, but I don't know what it's like, with fur or not?"

"Even if it has fur, it's a good deal." The price of grain outside Liaodong County has risen so much, and meat is even more ridiculously expensive, and the key is that the quantity is small.

The shop assistants were busy in and out, and they laughed when they heard their words. What are they thinking? Their rabbit fur is very useful, so why would they sell it to you?

"I don't know what rabbit meat tastes like?" The young woman who spoke was yearning.

To be honest, they are ordinary people, and they rarely eat meat all year round. At most, they can buy some meat during the Chinese New Year to add to the flavor of the New Year. It's not an exaggeration for some people to say that they can't eat a piece of meat for several years.

Now there are a lot of jobs in the whole Liaodong County. As long as you are not lazy, you can earn some copper coins by finding a job.

Grain prices are stable, and the common people have spare money in their hands, so they are willing to buy some meat. After all, this meat is really not expensive.

A quarter of an hour later, the grain and oil store opened on time.

Two wide and large pork chopping boards were placed side by side outside the store, and the processed rabbits were hung upside down, which was very spectacular.

"Let's get started!"

A pound of rabbit meat is about a quarter of a rabbit. The butcher treated everyone equally, one leg for each portion.

"This price is still net meat, and it's a profit."

"The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is really amazing. It actually got such cheap rabbit meat!"

The team was moving, and the families who bought meat were all smiling.

But the whole line was getting longer and longer, and many families came after hearing the news.

When there were only five left, the butcher waved his machete and shouted to the back of the team, "The front 20 people in the team continue to line up, and the back ones don't line up, you can't buy it even if you line up!"

The latecomers beat their chests and stamped their feet.

But there is no way, just like the affordable grain, once it is sold, it is gone.

1,800 rabbits were distributed to 18 counties, and each county was only allocated 100 rabbits. In total, only 400 households in each county could buy them, and on average, one household in 20 to 30 households could buy one.

This scene happened in all counties of Liaodong County, and those who came late could only leave helplessly.

Only Houcheng moved out a box of duck eggs after selling rabbit meat.

"If you can't buy rabbit meat, you can buy duck eggs. The same purchase limit, four eggs per household, regardless of size. If you want it, queue up!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The duck eggs are very large, and they look good. If you can't buy rabbit meat, buying duck eggs is also very good.
