Chapter 13: The Cat and the Goldfish

It is said that the pressure on boys in this society is now greater, and a very obvious phenomenon is that there are more boys who go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables on weekdays, but there are fewer and fewer girls.

As a housewife who treats the vegetable market as a shopping mall, Wang Huisu is well versed in bargaining when buying vegetables.

"Eh, old girl, did you come out so early today to buy vegetables?" greeted the owner of a vegetable stall warmly.

"It's a rainy day, and I'm in a hurry. Wang Huisu smiled, then picked up a handful of water spinach and asked casually, "This water spinach came over this morning, right?"

"It arrived at seven o'clock, and it was fresh. ”

These water spinach leaves are green and look full of energy, and it may be difficult for a novice to tell if the dish is good or not just by looking at the dish.

Wang Po sells melons naturally to boast about herself, and Wang Huisu has a little trick to quickly judge the quality of this dish.

That is to pinch with fingernails, although this method is very cheap, but the effect is excellent, if the water spinach is very old, the stalk will be very hard and not delicious, so how to judge whether it is old or not?

Pinch and you'll know if you're always tender......

Sika lay on the vegetable basket, looking at Wang Huisu's small movements, only to see that she pinched her face without changing color, simply picked up the dish and put it down, the quality of the dish was already clear to her.

This batch of dishes is fresh, but some are old, and there will be vegetable residues when eaten.

So she turned her attention to the other vegetables.

Also buying vegetables at this stall is a young girl who is picking cucumbers.

I didn't buy much, only two.

There is also a knack for buying cucumbers, one touch, two looks, three pinching.

The one who pierces the hand to the touch is the one that has just been taken off.

It looks darker and sweeter than lighter.

It must be hard when pinched, and if it is soft, it will not be fresh, and the water loss will be serious.

Wang Huisu's eyes are sharp, and she can see at a glance that this girl's two cucumbers are still very good, after all, there are fewer and fewer girls who can buy vegetables now.

The girl paid and left, Wang Huisu also roughly swept the other dishes of this vegetable stall, today only this cucumber is of good quality, so she also bought five, and if she can't finish eating, she can also use it as a mask.

After paying, the five cucumbers stayed with Sika.

Sika weighs twelve pounds, which is already a mature big cat, and with the weight of five cucumbers, Wang Huisu suddenly felt unbearable.

Carrying a basket of vegetables is like carrying a mountain.

"You big lazy cat, you don't come down and walk by yourself!"

As he spoke, Wang Huisu lifted Sika out and put him on the ground.

Sika: "Meow ......"

Who the hell is going to take me out!

The floor of the market was so dirty that Sika cautiously followed Wang Huisu, for fear that the sewage on the ground would stain its hair.

White is the most intolerant of dirt, as a cat with a habit of cleanliness, how can it bear to be splashed on the body by the smelly sewage of the market.

So Wang Huisu walked in front, Sika a meter or two behind, and slowly followed, its attention was on the road, jumping and avoiding every small puddle.

Wang Huisu bought celery at the stall in front, celery is an attribute of coriander, simply put, some people eat it, some people don't eat it, except for Li Wanqi who doesn't eat it, Wang Huisu and Li Yumin both like to eat it very much.

The degree of freshness depends on whether it is hard, and the cucumber is the same, fresh celery is picked up, the rhizome part is straight, and the fresh is soft.

The degree of deliciousness depends on the leaves, the spirit of the leaves, but not thick, the rarer the leaves, the better the taste.

Look at the color again, the color is very dark, just like the dark green, don't buy it, this kind of growing up in a water-scarce environment, it will taste a lot of scum.

"Hostess, two catties of celery. ”

"Okay!"

Wang Huisu has read a lot of health articles on the public account, and it is best to buy seasonal vegetables according to the season, and the vegetables she buys in the morning are also very fresh, even if she is picky, she will soon buy a large basket of vegetables.

After buying vegetables, then buy meat, the Li family is not particularly keen on eating meat, and they usually eat little meat, and they are all fried more.

The number one meat food of the Chinese people is pork.

Picking meat is much simpler than picking vegetables, Wang Huisu doesn't like to wrap his hands in plastic bags to pick up meat, so he picks it up directly with his hands, pinchs it, and then gets a little closer to smell it.

The purpose of holding it by hand is to check whether the meat is filled with water, and the skin will not be too moist after the normal meat is held by hand.

If you pinch it, you will know how fresh the meat is, the fresh meat is elastic, and the touch is similar to pinching the thighs of the same table.

Of course, if you are a novice to buy meat, you may not be able to see the feel, so it is the most simple and direct to smell it. Fresh meat has a slightly fishy smell, but it's not so offensive that if it's bad meat, the smell is probably disgusting on the spot.

Wang Huisu bought three catties of pork and was about to end today's shopping, when he was about to walk out of the market, he suddenly remembered.

"Hey, I seem to be missing something......

"Oh no! Sika is lost!"

She was so focused on enjoying her grocery shopping that she didn't even know when Sika hadn't been with her.

Wang Huisu hurriedly walked all the way back to find the cat.

When I passed by a flower, bird, insect and fish shop, I heard the shopkeeper talking inside: "Whose big white cat, run to catch fish from me." ”

Wang Huisu: "......"

She hurriedly walked in to take a look, and sure enough, she saw Sika squatting in someone's shop, staring intently at the tank of goldfish.

It's a shame, how can you see a fish and you can't walk!

"Sika! Come out and go back!"

"Is this your cat?"

"Yes, yes, I'm really sorry to disturb, I'll take it back, did it really catch fish, I'll pay you. ”

Wang Huisu said apologetically, the shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his fifties, and he seems to be very easy to talk.

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's good if it's yours, I said whose big white cat, if no one comes to pick it up, I'll raise the family." It's okay, it's just watching the fish, it's not messing around, you can take it back. ”

Wang Huisu breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to take Sika away.

Sika: "Meow, meow. ”

It felt more and more like a real cat, and when it passed by the goldfish shop, it came in by a ghostly way, and it felt very satisfied to watch the goldfish swim around in the tank.

Sika doesn't want to go, it wants little goldfish.

Wang Huisu stopped his waist and picked up Sika, and Sika became a fluid, starting from his waist into an arched bridge, but he didn't go.

Wang Huisu: "......"

There is also an empty fish tank at home.

Thinking of this, Wang Huisu asked the shopkeeper, "Boss, how do you sell your goldfish." ”

"Two dollars a piece. ”

"What about five dollars and three dollars?"

"Okay, sell you. ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Sika's ears stood up, and by the way, he arched Wang Huisu's trouser leg with his big head.

Sika: "Meow Meow~"

"Which ones do you want?" asked the boss as he came to the goldfish bowl with the fish.

Wang Huisu was about to speak, but saw that Sika's two front feet were already on top of the fish tank, and pointed to this, this, and that with an expectant expression......

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Your cat is really smart, I have lived so old, but it is the first time I have seen such a smart little guy." Gotta send you another one. ”

Wang Huisu smiled a little embarrassedly, went over to pull Sika down, and then paid the boss.

By the time I walked out of the market, the rainy season had stopped.

With a plastic bag around her neck containing water and four small goldfish, Sika followed Wang Huisu home contentedly.

Wang Huisu took a photo of it and posted it on Moments.

"This stupid cat just kidnapped the boss of the other family four goldfish. ”

Nanali Xiangxiang: "Mommy, you bought fish for Sika!"

Hometown clouds: "Playing with mobile phones in class?"

Oops, Li Wanqi was frightened and quickly turned off her mobile phone......
