Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zhenguanxi
The meat seller was not ambiguous, took the meat cutting knife, first stabbed and stabbed twice on the sharpening rod, and then carried the heavy and large meat cleaver and swung it towards the pig's head that was being sold.
I only heard two "clang" sounds, and the bones on the meat steak were cut off, and then I saw him pull twice to cut the remaining ribs and meat, and then the meat seller lifted the scale rod and directly used the hook under the scale rod to hook the meat, and then lifted the meat and weighed it.
"Little girl, no more, no less, exactly two catties. The man spoke directly.
"Master, can you show me the scale? So Gao Ruofei's eyesight couldn't be seen no matter how good it was, so he smiled and said to the master.
"You kid, I can't lie to you, two pounds. As he spoke, the man lowered the scale, pinched the rope hanging the scale with his hand, and directly handed the scale rod to Ruofei to see.
Looking at this person's movements, Ruofei knew that this person was not honest, although the reading above was good, but when this person handed the scale, he put the meat on the board and directly handed the weighing rod to himself.
Ruo Scarlet had a number but didn't say anything, but looked at the meat seller and said happily: "Master's meat cutting technique is really good, one knife is two catties, this is really as powerful as the town of Guanxi in the Water Margin, I have to tell my mother-in-law when I go back, I don't know if the master has heard of Zhao Cuiying in Xiaoguowan, that is my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law is making clothes, and I know many people." ”
Ruofei is smiling on her face, and she is very disdainful of this bully in her heart, when she is really a little hairy child who doesn't understand anything?
"Ah, such a young child still knows about the Water Margin. The man sighed in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't realize it, but also replied happily, and then asked: "Is it in Guo Sanha's house, but it's still my family." ”
Ruo smiled and nodded, but the master who sold the meat here had already picked up the cut meat that he had put down before, and cut a small piece from the place where he had cut the meat before. smiled and said: "Are you the daughter of the Shuyun family, you still have to call me uncle, hey, give you more fat." Go back and let your mother-in-law fry the oil residue and eat it. ”
Obviously, this person is not stupid, he already knows that Ruofei has seen through the mechanism in his hand, but he doesn't feel embarrassed, so he directly cut another piece of meat and put it in, pretending to talk to Ruofei as if nothing happened.
At this time, it is not like before. Fatty meat is expensive, lean meat is cheap, but fatty meat is still more popular than lean meat, after all, this era is not as developed as later generations, and rural people generally lack fat, so they naturally love to eat fatty meat more than lean meat.
The meat seller also knows where the meat is in demand, and he cut Ruofei such a piece of fat, which is considered to make up for the lack of catties and taels before, but he has no intention of taking pork belly again. In fact, he still has some bullying in it.
Seeing that the meat seller made up for the missing part, it seems that there is still some redundancy, Ruofei doesn't care, in line with the habit of not liking to take advantage of the previous life, it doesn't matter to Ruofei whether the other party takes advantage of it or not, as long as she doesn't lose it, she will be satisfied, and she won't stare at Tiantou.
So if you see that it is good, you will accept it, and you don't want to really offend people, so you said with a smile: "Uncle, in fact, you don't come from Zhenguanxi." It's like Wu Song. ”
Suddenly, the man was stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Ruofei to come to such a sentence, and when this girl saw through her tricks, she had to make up for her shortcomings. But at this time, Ruofei added a sentence, and the meaning was different, indicating that she not only understood the movements of his hands, but also told him that she understood his remedial actions, and said that she didn't care about him.
Then the man had a smile on his face. He said a little embarrassedly: "What a ghost girl, come and tell your uncle what else you want." ”
In this way, the wit between the two can be regarded as revealed, but this person thinks that Guo Shuyun has given birth to a smart daughter, and he can use the characters in "Water Margin" to wake himself up, not only without losing his face, but also reminding himself, which is really smart.
Although it is said that there are many illiterate rural people at this time, there are two stories that are definitely popular, that is, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", there are usually older generations to tell the stories inside, and later there are radio and radio, storytelling programs to these two stories are particularly popular, so if you say that the town is in Guanxi, this butcher can naturally understand.
And in the whole process of Ruofei buying meat, Ruofei didn't say a word of bad words, but he made it clear that he was short of catties and two pounds, and told him that she knew that the weight of meat was wrong, and later reported it out of the house, so that he had to make up for the meat, after all, there is a Sanha thing in the Guo family that few people don't know.
The latter sentence rounded this matter back, which shows that this child's scheming is definitely not bad, and the master who sells meat doesn't dare to underestimate it anymore.
Seeing that the other party was not angry, Ruofei then spoke: "My mother-in-law also asked me to buy a piece of pork liver, how can this pork liver be sold?"
Two catties of meat cost nine yuan, and she only had one dollar left in her hand, if she had to buy it, it would be ugly if she didn't have enough money.
Pork liver belongs to internal organs, although it is said to be more blood-replenishing, but the price is definitely cheaper than meat, so the master who sells meat replied: "Pork liver is two pieces a catty." ”
"Oh, then give me another half pound of pork liver. "That's exactly ten dollars.
This time, the master who sold the meat didn't dare to do anything more, so he cut the meat carefully, and gave Ruofei another name, seeing that the amount was about the same, and the weighing rod was slightly cocked.
"This time it's really just right, you can see the scales are all cocked. "The meat seller doesn't dare to treat Ruofei as a child anymore.
"Thank you, uncle, that's ten dollars. Ruofei said sweetly.
The meat seller also took it with a smile, and then quickly tied up the meat with straw, picked up a piece of pork belly that didn't look good, and put it on it.
"Oh, can you mention it?" The man really liked Ruofei a little at this time, and secretly regretted that this was not his daughter.
Ruofei nodded, put the meat in the basket, and after saying goodbye to the man, he turned around and walked towards the way he came.
Looking at Ruofei's departing figure, this person sighed slightly, as the saying goes, the children of poor families are in charge of the house early, although Guo Shuyun's family is not poor, but after divorce, it is also the children who suffer, otherwise how can such a young child be raised so shrewdly.
Don't say how outsiders look at Ruofei, just say that Ruofei walked back with a basket alone, but he didn't know that a person was following behind. (To be continued.) )
