Chapter 87 – Where is the promised old age?

Yang Xiaole hurriedly rode his bike to Old Man's place.

He had nothing to do for a while, so he planned to watch a movie.

He gently knocked on the door of Hua Yourong's house when he arrived, and soon Hua's mother opened the door.

Seeing the bag hanging behind his bike, she quickly greeted him, "Come in, come in!"

Yang Xiaole pushed his bike inside, parked it, and carried the things into the room.

After entering the main hall and closing the door, Su Ling finally spoke, "You got it back so quickly!"

"Yeah, I wanted to get it done early and put my mind at ease," he replied, taking out 5 pieces of pork belly and 5 kilograms of lard, and said to her, "Auntie, you don't usually lack oil, so I didn't bring you the fattest ones, in case you can't handle it. If you want pure fat meat, I'll bring it to you next time. This is 5 kilograms of lard, do you want it? If not, it's okay. Someone else wants it."

Su Ling was delighted to see the lard. "Yes, give it all to me. It's perfect for making oil and cooking ribs and braised dishes."

As she spoke, she took out money and handed it to him, saying, "Here, take the money!"

Yang Xiaole glanced at it and frowned, "Auntie, this is too much, 15 yuan is enough."

Actually, lard was rare, but its selling price was cheaper than meat.

This existence that went against market logic only existed now.

Su Ling pretended to be unhappy and said, "I calculated the money for the fish. Including the last time, it's about fifty kilograms, around twenty yuan. The pork is 15 yuan, not giving you much, just 35 yuan. If you don't want it, take the meat and don't come here again. It's not easy in the countryside, can't you just say no to twenty yuan?"

Yang Xiaole hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

After thinking about it, he still accepted it.

Yes!

How much is the salary of an ordinary worker in the city? Twenty yuan is nothing, it gives people a feeling of being generous despite being poor.

Seeing him take the money, Su Ling smiled and said, "Ah, that's more like it! Oh, by the way, Old Master came over just now and asked me to tell you that if he can handle a pig, he wants all of it. He wants it."

Yang Xiaole frowned upon hearing this.

"He wants all of it? It would be bad if he doesn't eat it in this hot weather. If he wants to make preserved meat, the weather is not suitable. I won't deliver it anymore."

He felt that the Old Master bought so much at once just for the sake of face, and it didn't seem necessary.

Although he really wanted to make a big move.

Su Ling smiled and said, "It's okay, the Old Master has a wide network! Just deliver it as usual. He said the door is not locked, so you can just push the door and go in. Call him when you're inside."

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and nodded in the end.

"Alright! I'll deliver it to him later. Auntie, I won't come later. You should go to sleep."

Su Ling nodded and asked, "Have you eaten? If not, there's food at home."

"I've already eaten."

"Okay, then I won't keep you!"

Yang Xiaole nodded in response and greeted Hua Yourong, "Yourong, I'm leaving now. I'll come for coffee when I have time."

Kindness should not be wasted, at least make the other person happy!

Hua Yourong's eyes lit up, "Do you like coffee? I'll make it for you when you come."

"Great!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and greeted her, then came out with the bag.

When he reached the door, Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, I ran into Director Hao earlier. It seems like something happened to him. I don't know if you still want to go to the countryside."

"Ah! What happened to him?"

"You'll know when you go to the office the day after tomorrow. I'll leave now, Auntie."

After saying that, he greeted her and left.

Watching his figure leave, Su Ling frowned, not understanding what he meant!

Something happened?

What happened?

Could it be that Yang Xiaole did something?

Various possibilities came to her mind for a moment.

Yang Xiaole pushed his bike in the alley, where many people were chatting and enjoying the cool breeze.

He gently pushed Old Master's door, and it actually opened.

Then he went straight in, and the courtyard was pitch black, with only the main hall lit up.

This was convenient for him.

He didn't have to push a bunch of things in, and it also avoided being discovered by others.

"Xiaole, is that you?"

As soon as he closed the door, he heard the voice of the old man inside.

Yang Xiaole quickly took out the two bags and left about 20 kilograms of pork belly for his family. The rest was put into the two cloth bags.

At this time, Old Master's figure appeared in the living room and walked towards the outside.

"Old Master, you said you can handle a pig, so I brought it all for you. I left some ribs for Auntie, and I kept about 20 kilograms of meat for myself. The rest is all for you."

The old man walked over with his hands behind his back and nodded after taking a look.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole quickly said, "Old Master, can you help me? I can't carry it."

Over 360 kilograms of pork, after removing all the bones, pig heads, and internal organs, there were a total of 230 kilograms. He left about 20 kilograms of pork belly and 5 kilograms of leg meat for Su Ling, and the rest was all put into the two cloth bags.

It seemed that he needed to buy more cloth bags, as they were all greasy.

The old man walked over and glanced at it, then picked up one of the cloth bags and walked straight inside.

It seemed effortless.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes.

What happened to being old and frail?

The old man was quite powerful!

Then he followed him into the main hall.

After entering, there was a large scale in the hall.

After the old man came in, he picked up the scale and hung it on one of the cloth bags, lifting it with one hand.

He pulled the scale.

Balanced!

"101 jin 4 liang!"Setting down the sack, he picked up another one, weighed it, and announced a number: "101 jin and 4 liang."

He put away the scale and said, "You've weighed it before, right? Subtracting the weight of the sack, it's about 200 jin, right?"

"Correct!"

Yang Xiaole's cutting was quite accurate, not to mention the weight of the flour sack!

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded, opened the sack to take a look, and said, "Hmm, good, it's a fat pig. Remember to bring a pig's head and tail next time."

Yang Xiaole smiled and agreed, "Alright, no problem. Can you finish eating all this? Don't let it go bad."

Hearing this, the old man glanced at him, "Is that your concern? Didn't you say it's a done deal with the payment?"

Yang Xiaole shrugged at his words.

Well, he was worrying for nothing.

"Hold on!"

The old man said, then went back into the house. He came out a moment later with money and handed it to him.

"Count it. If the amount is correct, I won't see you out."

Yang Xiaole didn't mind the old man's words. While speaking, he asked, "Old Master, will it be the same amount next time? When should I deliver it to you?"

"Half a month, or a month, either is fine."

Yang Xiaole nodded, counted the money, and then looked up with a smile, "The amount is correct, so I won't disturb your rest anymore!"

Seeing the old man nod slightly, he left.

He opened the courtyard door, pushed the cart out, closed the door again, and then rode away.

PS: Didn't expect to be able to post so early in the morning.
