Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 552 confirmed

There’s about five minutes left before the morning meeting ends. Jiang Xinyu took Song Qingqing’s proposal and handed it to Qian Jun. "Mr. Qian, this is Secretary Song’s suggestion. I think it’s excellent. Should our factory step in to purchase live pigs from outside? That way, workers can buy meat without using meat coupons."

Qian Jun took a look at it and said, "Let’s have a vote. I’ll say the unpleasant part first: even if everyone agrees, it doesn’t guarantee we’ll be able to buy live pigs."

Who would disagree? This is a benefit for everyone. So, everyone raised their hands, and it was passed.

"Alright, it’s passed. Then this task will be handed over to Vice Factory Director Jiang."

"Mr. Qian, I’m sorry, but I cannot take on this responsibility. You know why." I’m about to resign; how could I have the time to manage this?

"Mr. Qian, I think we should leave it to the Supply and Marketing Department. They often go out and certainly know where there are live pigs."

Qian Jun sighed in his heart; she was determined to resign for sure.

"Alright, then Director Tian will be responsible for this task."

"Mr. Qian, rest assured, I will ensure our comrades work actively and diligently. Is there a limit on the quantity?"

"Are you saying you can get a lot?"

"I don’t know yet. I just want a figure to aim for during the effort."

"Our factory has 1,465 people. If each gets two pounds, that’s 2,930 pounds."

"Got it, I understand the rough figure. I’ll find out how much meat a pig can yield."

Everyone was happy; this is a big perk. Although it’s their money being spent, they are willing, just like Vice Factory Director Jiang said, at least there’s no limit, and no meat coupons are needed.

This year for New Year, the whole family can eat a bit more.

After the meeting ended, everyone talked to Director Tian about trying to get a little more, even if it’s just two more ounces per person, that’s still meat.

"Come to my office."

Jiang Xinyu nodded and followed Qian Jun to his office.

"Are you really set on resigning?"

Jiang Xinyu smiled, "Yes, I will wait until the danger passes before coming back with the kids.

We’ll just live in the countryside. It’s safe and secure."

"This position is something many people dream of. Don’t you feel it’s a pity to give it up so easily?"

"It’s definitely a pity. I’ve truly put in effort, but compared to the children, it’s nothing."

"Since it’s like this, I won’t persuade you anymore. Maybe you are right; retreating while on top isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I will also consider it."

Jiang Xinyu didn’t know how to respond. Qian Jun’s situation was different, but if his superiors fell, who knows if he could emerge unscathed.

Jiang Xinyu thought of Qian Jun’s kindness to her and decided to say a few words when she leaves, whether he listens is up to him.

In the afternoon after work, Jiang Xinyu still went to the supply and marketing cooperative, but not to buy meat. She had heard from She Xiaoyun that there might still be eggs left.

Today’s luck was good; there were still three and a half pounds of eggs left, and pig offal and bones that no one bought.

Jiang Xinyu happily bought them all, borrowed a basket. "Sister She, come to my house for dinner tomorrow night. I’ll cook the offal and the pig’s head today.

In the future, if no one wants the pig offal, keep it for me. I’ll take as much as you have, it won’t spoil anyway."

"Alright, I’ll keep it for you."

Jiang Xinyu returned home, took out twenty pounds of meat from her stash, added it to what she bought in the morning, making thirty pounds. She cut it into small cubes, added seasoning, and twenty pounds of starch. Then she set it aside to wash the intestines before stuffing them.

Once in the Northeast, the kids can eat it.

It’s already eight in the evening. She quickly cleaned the pig’s head and trotters before braising them.

The braising stock was the old stock, so it was more flavorful.

Then she cleaned the other offal, finishing with the large and small intestines.

By now, it was almost ten o’clock. She felt tired but hadn’t finished yet. Stuffing the sausage especially took time.

Just get it done today.

Sitting alone in the main room, stuffing sausages bit by bit, she felt the loneliness and inconvenience of living alone.

Even having just two kids around wouldn’t feel so lonely, right?

By midnight, she finally finished stuffing all the sausages.

Then she lit another large pot, steamed them, and by this time, the pig’s head and trotters were soft and mushy. She carefully removed the bones before taking them out. She then put in the cleaned offal to simmer on low heat.

When the steamer for the sausages released steam, she uncovered it and used a needle to pierce them, releasing the air.

Then she went to take a shower and directly went to sleep afterward; she really couldn’t hold on any longer.

When she got up the next morning, she checked and found that the pig liver was overcooked. She couldn’t help it; she was too tired.

This early morning, she still felt heavy-headed and unsteady.

After eating a bowl of rice porridge, she took out the offal. The sausages were hung in the kitchen. Just need to air dry them, then they could be eaten anytime.

During the morning meeting, Jiang Xinyu seemed a bit listless.

"What’s wrong?" Song Qingqing asked with concern.

"Nothing, just didn’t sleep well last night."

"Oh, you."

At lunchtime, Jiang Xinyu quietly told Wang Ailing to bring their family over for dinner that night.

"I braised some offal last night."

"That’s great, we’ll come over after work."

"Oh, and bring your in-laws as well."

"They won’t come. Don’t worry about it."

At noon, Jiang Xinyu had a delicious nap and didn’t wake up until Song Qingqing called her.

After work in the afternoon, she found Qiao Jingyi.

"Can you eat meat?"

"Yes, I’ve been craving it every day lately."

"Come to my house for dinner tonight. I braised some offal last night."

"Sure, I’ll let my in-laws know when I get home. We’ll come over together after Yao Shimin gets off work."

"Alright, take it easy, the weather looks dreary, it might rain."

Jiang Xinyu returned home, started cooking rice, and put the offal soaked in braising broth directly on the steamer.

Then she took out five pickled cabbages and used another pot for pickled cabbage, vermicelli, and tofu. This would be very tasty, also cooked in the braising broth.

The first to arrive was She Xiaoyun, and she brought another set of pig offal for Jiang Xinyu, though the pig liver was sold.

Jiang Xinyu didn’t mind; she was delighted.

Wang Tongzhou helped directly by washing the offal and splitting the pig’s head, taking care of the toughest jobs.

"Xinyu, you see, there should be a man at home, right? At least you don’t have to do everything yourself. If you wanted to slack off, there’s someone to help out."
