Chapter 38: Catching Up with the Market (1)
If there are five eggs left in the box where you put the eggs, then use the eggs to scramble the plate with chili. Then I went to the well and took out half of the blanched bones, put some beans and potatoes and stewed in a small pot.
The steamed buns are still soft in the morning, so they don't need to be hot.
After scrambling the chili eggs, put them aside and fasten them on a plate to save them from cooling.
Pour oil into the pot, put onions, ginger and garlic in the fryer, pour the pork ribs into the pot, put soy sauce in it, fry a few, put potatoes and beans, add water to cover the pot, and wait for the stew to be cooked on the bottom of the shelf.
After the lid is closed, the potato soup is placed on the wooden lid, and the pork ribs below are simmered, and the soup on top is also warm.
After the meal was cooked and served, he went out and called Uncle Guo and the eldest brother to come into the house to eat.
"Uncle Guo, the eldest brother has a good meal, let's get it after eating. ”
As soon as he heard that it was time to eat, Uncle Guo led Second Brother Guo and Third Brother Guo to go home to eat.
In this way, Zhou Shujie can let go, blocking the gate and not letting him out.
Uncle Guo said vigorously that he didn't do much work, and he was embarrassed to eat. arguing with Zhou Shujie there just refused to enter the house. Later, it was Brother Zhou, and Brother Tuesday dragged them into the house together.
After eating, I didn't rest and went to work outside again.
By the time Zhou Shujie packed up Lisuo'er and went out, the roof of the house to be laid with grass had not yet been laid, and the rest had been completed.
There is an order for laying the grass roof, one by one, layer by layer, from bottom to top, pressing the shop, so that the roof of the grass house is not easy to leak.
The three of the Guo family are all proficient, the eldest brother and the second brother are handing the grass below, and this kind of small work on the roof will be completed for them in a while.
Zhou Shujie made some sugar water and told them to go into the house to rest for a while and drink the water before leaving, Uncle Guo and they said that they didn't drink anything. In the end, they led Guo Sange and them home.
Brother Zhou, Brother Tuesday, everyone poured a full water before going home.
Dinner was at the uncle's house, eating pig's head and pig's trotters, as well as stewed fish in sauce and a plate of fried vegetables.
There were two tables at the time of eating.
Grandpa, uncle, Uncle Guo, eldest brother, second brother, these men are at the same table, Uncle Guo can be here, or Uncle Zhou went to his house to drag it.
Uncle Zhou led Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law, and the three of them put a table in Brother Zhou's room. The reason why there are two tables is because there are too many people to do it, and the other reason is to let Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law eat more, and she will not be so nervous if there are fewer people.
The boar's head and pig's trotters snorted all night, and then sullen for another afternoon. The skin and flesh are particularly rotten.
An eleven or twelve pound wild boar's head can make seven or eight pounds of meat, plus pig's trotters, and the sweet mouth and tongue of the stewed fish are full of oil.
Zhou Shujie and the others withdrew from the table first, they were all full, and the men's table had not finished drinking.
After cleaning up the table, I sat there and chatted with my uncle for a while.
Zhou Shujie: "Auntie, I want to go to the market tomorrow, do you want to go or not, do you want to buy something." I bought a little too much, and I want my second brother to borrow an ox cart to go with me, auntie, do you think it's okay?"
Aunt Zhou: "Tomorrow is the big set! The day after tomorrow is going to be a holiday, don't you have to buy something! Isn't this New Year's festival going to give your eldest brother and his father-in-law something to send something, and the rest is that there is no horseshoe cake, you have to buy two boxes, and tomorrow let your third brother drive the ox cart to take you to the market. ”
After making up for the market, it was almost dark, so Aunt Zhou and Zhou Shujie hugged the child and sent Zhou Shujie and them home, Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law followed behind, and she also held two three-inch-long polished wild boar teeth in her hand.
According to Mrs. Zhou, this is the day of the meat distribution, Grandpa Zhou specially from the boar head they wanted, just for the sake of this pair of wild boar teeth, said to polish smooth, put the hole under the child's pillow first, and take it on the body when it grows up.
When sleeping, Zhou Shujie kept rubbing the two wild boar teeth in his hand, and his heart was also warm when he touched the smooth wild boar teeth.
The two wild boar teeth tied with red ropes were placed under the child's pillow, hoping that the child would grow up safely as the old man hoped.
The night is getting deeper, people are getting quieter, accompanied by the bursts of frog chirping, the moon that rises in the sky, more and more round, more and more bright, telling people that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.
Next
entrusted the child and mother-in-law to Aunt Guo, Zhou Shujie got into the ox cart driven by the second brother, and met a few people who were going to the market before leaving the village.
In this way, squeaky girl, swaying to Qianshan County.
When they arrived at Qianshan County, they parked the ox cart at the entrance of the market, and everyone got off the car and thanked them and walked to the market.
Zhou Shujie stood there and waited for her second brother to drive the ox cart to the shade of the tree, tie it to the willow tree and put down half a bag of grass for the cow, and then they walked to the market together.
This market is the main street of the county seat on weekdays, and there are only a few units in it. For example, the post office, such as the supply and marketing cooperative.
Walking through the market and seeing everyone with a smile on their faces, you can tell that they are satisfied with their current life.
Zhou Shujie saw that there were not many goods on the street, so he and Brother Wednesday decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy large portions first, and then come to visit the market after that.
This supply and marketing cooperatives are public, and they used to need tickets to buy everything. Now as long as you have money, he has goods. You can buy something you like.
As soon as you enter the public sales office, you will see a row of large glass counters in front of you, in which some daily goods are placed. The entire wall behind is a shelf, which is a wall full of things in the order of clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
When I look at the things on this wall, I feel steady, and the wall behind this one has never been full in the past few years.
Zhou Shujie and Brother Tuesday walked to the place where the "clothes" were tentative, and a beautiful little girl came over, it seemed that she was the salesperson here. He smiled and asked, "What do you two want to buy?"
Brother didn't squeak on Tuesday, and Zhou Shujie smiled back: "I want to buy some cotton and some cloth." ”
The salesman smiled and said, "What a coincidence, we have some good cotton here." Yesterday, it was just shipped from Shandong, and the quality is very good, but it is a little expensive, and it costs 1 pound for 1 yuan, and you want to buy a few pounds. ”
"One dollar!" Brother Tuesday was surprised and muttered again: "This is too expensive, more expensive than meat."
The salesman still had a good attitude and said: "You buy the meat and eat it at home, it's gone, this cotton can be used for many years, it is more expensive than in previous years, but his quality is good this year." ”
As soon as he saw the salesman talking to him, Brother Tuesday's face suddenly turned red to the root of his ears. Seeing Zhou Shujie, he couldn't help but want to laugh, he had never seen his second brother shy.
Zhou Shujie couldn't help but smile and said to the salesman: "Weigh me five catties!"
The salesman smiled and replied, "Okay, you wait a minute." After speaking, he quickly weighed five catties of cotton and handed it to Zhou Shujie.
Zhou Shujie smiled and said, "Second brother, you can help me carry it." ”
