Chapter 379 Cannot be given away, can only be exchanged

Meanwhile, Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou arrived at the dormitory.

At the entrance of the courtyard, three men and three women were sitting in the yard, with a large, fat, butchered pig next to them.

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan gasped.

Su Nuannuan initially thought Ding Tong was exaggerating when she described a big fat pig, but it really was one. Judging by its appearance, it weighed about 200 pounds.

Su Nuannuan swallowed hard. This was not like a few years ago, when livestock were public property and slaughtering them privately was illegal.

Su Nuannuan didn't expect this family to be so stubborn, sending over a fat pig.

She was somewhat dumbfounded. She didn't know whether they came to thank her or to harm her.

Just then, Tie Dachui's family also saw Su Nuannuan.

Although they hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, Tie Dachui and Tie Yanggang would never forget Su Nuannuan's face.

The two men rushed over, and Tie Yanggang was so excited he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Tie Dachui pulled his son away and came to Su Nuannuan himself.

A smile appeared on his dark, honest face as he spoke.

"Dr. Su, thank you for saving my Zhuangzhuang last time. This is a gift from our family to express our gratitude. Please accept it."

Su Nuannuan sighed inwardly.

She looked at the glistening, reddish-brown pork belly and wanted to take it. But she didn't dare!

After thinking it over, Su Nuannuan looked at Tie Dachui, shook her head, and said.

"Uncle, I can't accept it. I'm not going to mince words with you. If I accept this fat pig today, I probably won't be able to be a doctor tomorrow. So, you should take this fat pig back."

The Iron Hammer family hadn't expected it to be this serious. They looked at each other, exchanging glances.

Su Nuannuan did not specifically point out that poultry now belong to the public and that it is illegal to slaughter them privately.

At first, Su Nuannuan was quite shocked by this.

However, she quickly realized that she was in the Southern Province.

Regardless of geographical conditions or historical contributions, those in power turned a blind eye to them.

So, killing a pig is really nothing.

Tie Dachui's family were all genuine farmers; they had no idea that delivering pork could cause trouble for Su Nuannuan.

Now that Su Nuannuan has spoken out, the Tie family members are somewhat at a loss.

They were unwilling to take the pork back.

The Tie family felt a little uneasy that the thank-you gift hadn't been given.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan was also somewhat at a loss. She looked at Chu Mingzhou with pleading eyes.

Chu Mingzhou lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said to Su Nuannuan.

"The Lunar New Year is coming soon, we can trade pork with them and then make sausages."

Su Nuannuan's eyes lit up when she heard Chu Mingzhou's suggestion.

Yes!

Buying or giving it away won't work, but exchanging it is possible!
So, Su Nuannuan said to Tie Dachui.

"Uncle, thank you so much. Saving Tiezhuang was my responsibility, but I'll pass on the pork. If you're really grateful, you can trade some pork with me."

"Exchange for pork?"

The Tie family was puzzled.

Iron Hammer quickly understood.

Seeing that Su Nuannuan really wanted to exchange for pork, he quickly agreed.

"Okay. Just give us some scraps of cloth."

Although Tie Dachui said he was exchanging the pork, he actually wanted to give it to Su Nuannuan for free.

Su Nuannuan smiled, neither refusing nor agreeing.

"Just wait."

Then, she said to Chu Mingzhou.

"You take care of them. While you're at it, see if you can cut off the pork you've got your eye on. Oh, and leave the trotters."

Chu Mingzhou nodded.

After entering the house, Su Nuannuan went straight into her spatial dimension.

Southern Province is remote and resource-scarce. Moreover, it is mountainous with inconvenient transportation, and many villages are self-sufficient. The things Su Nuannuan brought were mostly daily necessities, such as various cotton fabrics she had previously hoarded.

Unlike Heilongjiang Province, people here prefer solid-colored, simple-patterned leather to brightly colored fabrics.

Su Nuannuan took a lot of things, including cotton fabrics of various colors.

There was no electricity in the countryside of the southern province, so Su Nuannuan brought many candles, some white and some red. The candles were quite thick.

In addition, Su Nuannuan also took some white sugar, brown sugar, salt...

Su Nuannuan found a few large baskets, put the things in them, and pulled them out.

"Uncle, come and pick something out. Take whatever you like."

Upon seeing what was inside the bamboo basket, the Tie family's eyes widened as if they were copper bells.

Tie Yanggang's wife's fingers trembled as she spoke.

"So much cotton fabric! How many clothes can that make!"

Compared to food, the southern province is actually more lacking in cloth. Especially in rural areas, a single garment can be passed down for four generations.

This shows how precious cloth is.

The cotton fabric that Su Nuannuan took out was not only of good quality, but also had a beautiful color. The women of the Tie family immediately fell in love with it, wishing they could grab all the cotton fabric and put it in their arms.

Tie Dachui was a discerning parent. He quickly realized that what Su Nuannuan had taken out was excellent.

Pork is good, but it can't compare to something as good as Su Nuannuan.

He originally only wanted some scraps of cloth to make a pair of shoes for his grandson. He didn't expect Su Nuannuan to be so generous and bring out so many things.

Iron Hammer was somewhat at a loss, and said...

"Dr. Su, these are all rare items. It's not worth it for us to exchange them."

Although the other members of the Tie family were tempted, they put away their own thoughts after hearing what the head of the family had said.

Su Nuannuan smiled upon seeing this.

“There’s nothing wrong with it. You give me pork, so I have to give you something in return. It’s a fair trade, and I won’t take a single penny from the people. If you don’t give me anything in return, we can’t accept this pork.”

Su Nuannuan was adamant, and Tie Dachui finally agreed.

So, Tie Dachui led his family to pick and choose from the bamboo baskets.

The things Su Nuannuan brought were even better than those in the county's supply and marketing cooperative.

Suddenly, the Tie family members all exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, this cotton fabric is so thick, and the color is so beautiful."

"Dad, look, there's candy here!"

"Let's take a candle too, it's dark at night and it's inconvenient for Zhuangzhuang to get up at night."

……

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou also started picking out pork.

Chu Mingzhou pointed out the pork he liked to Su Nuannuan. Besides the four pig trotters, Chu Mingzhou also had his eye on a large piece of tenderloin with a good balance of fat and lean meat.

Su Nuannuan could tell that the meat was very fresh, so she nodded and gestured for Chu Mingzhou to cut the meat off.

Then, Su Nuannuan pointed to the pork ribs.

Su Nuannuan loves pork ribs the most. It would be a waste not to leave any ribs from such a big pig.

Finally, the two cut another fifty catties of pure pork, including twenty catties of fat and thirty catties of lean meat.

The two planned to use the fifty pounds of meat to make sausages and put them in their mouths.

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou placed the pork they had selected in a basket. What was originally a whole pork carcass was now reduced to half.

The Iron Hammer family had also chosen what they wanted.

The items that the Tie family picked out couldn't be exchanged for that much pork.

Su Nuannuan could tell from the fact that they hadn't picked out many items that these people were holding back.

Su Nuannuan shook her head and said to Tie Dachui.

"Uncle, this won't do. You've taken too little."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan took all the cotton cloth out of the bamboo basket and put it in the hands of the three women of the Tie family.

"Uncle, that's better. We'll take this pork, and you can take the rest."

After speaking, Su Nuannuan pointed to the pork she had picked out.
