Chapter 53: Buying Meat

Early the next morning, Yan Fei went to the street to cut meat. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As soon as the sky was bright, the meat stall had not yet been put up, Yan Fei waited for the meat seller to push the cart over, and hurriedly helped to hang the pig on the meat rack.

Generally, when a girl who marries in Sancha Town returns to her parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she must bring a "rite strip," that is, the meat on the pig's belly, which is fat enough, and brings two or three ribs. Cut into a long one, generally three catties of small ones, and five or six catties of large ones. At this time, the gifts of relatives are very scarce, most of them are two packets of fruit and two packs of sugar, and it is enough to have a gift note.

The fruit is fried noodles with the thickness of a little finger, mixed with sugar, this thing is delicious when it first comes out of the pot, and after a few days, don't think about it if you have bad teeth, it looks like a stone. Sugar is white sugar, wrapped in hard yellow paper, sometimes your family takes it to my home, I give it to his family, send a few yellow paper bags to break a small hole, and it is not for nothing that you carry it to someone else's house into an empty carton.

After hanging up, Zhu Yanfei began to point: "This and this, cut a bigger point from this, yes, yes." I can cut one from here, I want it, hurry up and ......"

The people who arrived after cutting and cutting were not satisfied: "Little Feizi, how many do you want?

Yan Fei didn't look back: "No, you come early tomorrow, who made you come late!"

Someone laughed at him: "This is all for the mother-in-law, except for the old Xu family, you don't have a place to send it if you buy too much?"

Yan Fei continued: "This, yes, it has to be bigger, and how stingy it is! I'm happy to buy it, my daughter-in-law is good, my mother-in-law's family will send a few more, I will send it when I see someone, and there are mothers-in-law in my village." ”

Every village has a mother-in-law is a word in a cross talk show, and most people know it, so everyone laughed coaxingly, and after laughing, they made a bitter face, and watched Yan Fei cut a few big rites, almost cut the place where this pig could be cut, and the rest could be divided into two small rites at most.

Yan Fei thought of it with the etiquette, and when he turned his head, he was a little embarrassed, Xu Xiaoyan's father also came, and he was standing behind him at this time, no wonder people were so heckling just now.

How the old man's old face looked so ugly, Yan Fei had nothing to say: "That, let me buy it, why don't I get you two first?"

The people around suddenly quieted down, people didn't even buy meat, the boss who sold the meat trembled, the knife was almost thrown out, and then there was a burst of laughter, and some people coaxed vigorously: "Lao Xu, the son-in-law has come to the door, just take it for you!"

Yan Fei saw that the old man's face began to darken, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he turned his head and shouted to the people around him: "What are you shouting, are you willing to cut such a big gift? What happened to this son-in-law? It's just a lot of money." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and said to the meat seller: "This is also weighed for me, there is no need to divide it, it is too small to divide it, and I can't afford to lose that person! I will buy it tomorrow, and I will book it today." I'll go to your house and wait to kill the pig at night......"

There are more than a dozen pairs of ribs for a pig, and the remaining four ribs are the smallest, Yan Fei didn't want to look down on them originally, but now they are coaxed together, and they have to buy them.

During the Chinese New Year, almost every family has to buy a gift note, and generally a family only goes to the mother-in-law's house to buy one, this pig is at least enough to divide five or six families, Yan Fei offended people at once, and the people around him began to denounce him.

It's just that the denunciation is too weak, most of the people in the Sancha Town Police Station are local, and the matter of Yan Fei beating the cattle thief slowly spread out, and those who know it don't dare to offend him too much, for fear that if this person really commits stupid beating, no one can bear it.

Yan Fei turned a deaf ear, and there was no way to sell meat, who let Yan Fei stand at the front! Over there, he was weighing the meat slowly, and someone quickly changed his tone: "Xiao Fei, you can't eat all the meat you buy so much, forget about the rest! For the Chinese New Year, my aunt's family planted some spinach by herself this year, and I'll send you some in a while." ”

Although everyone is not rich now, it is getting better and better year by year, and I don't know how many times it is better. There is money to buy meat for the New Year, but there are so many pigs to kill, if anyone really can't buy a gift, basically the year will be over in advance.

The key is that this kid is really dark, no one knows, whether he will really wait for someone to kill pigs at night, in case he is going to go, it will still be troublesome at that time. After all, no one wants to go to the countryside to inquire about which village has killed pigs, let alone go to the last few companies to buy a pig and eat meat until it stinks.

Accustomed to this, even if you bring ten catties of meat, it can't compare to the etiquette of less than five catties, so in any case, in such a situation, if you should endure it, it is better to endure it than to go home and make trouble.

Over there, Xu Xiaoyan and her father had already left with a black face, and someone said something good, Yan Fei didn't want it, and came out with a swagger carrying things, but no one was coaxing now. Everyone's eyes are envious, jealous and hateful, everyone is scolding to be a loser in these years, and they want to cut people with envy in their hearts - they can't be a loser if they want to be a loser in their own family.

As soon as she arrived home, Xu Xiaoyan came in with her mouth up, seeing that her originally smooth and white brows were twisted into a ball, Yan Fei smiled and hurriedly took out a courtesy note: "Here, hurry up and take your house secretly, otherwise you will have to be scolded." ”

Xu Xiaoyan's face turned red, she didn't speak for a long time, and finally sighed and took the etiquette, and went back without saying a word.

After a while, I came back again, sighing, until Yan Fei lifted the pot and revealed most of the "scrambled eggs" inside, which was a little better.

If you don't say that Old Man Xu is not popular, he is a little angry outside, and when he goes back, he will sprinkle his daughter, and he can really be cheeky to ask for a child's courtesy. It's no wonder that now as soon as there is a shopping mall in the town, their business is completely gone, and now everyone is having a better life, there are so many small shops in the town, and they should be prosperous, and they will have no business if they say that there is no business.

Yan Fei fried so many "eggs" and was still ready to chop the dumpling filling, only the meat was not enough to eat, and it was greasy to eat too much.

While chopping the dumpling filling, Yan Fei still had to listen outside the door.

Sure enough, after a while, Yan Fei's uncle Lin Xiuqing's shouting came from outside the door, this was not the uncle from the police station, it was the uncle's family who had come to the market.

My uncle came to deliver tofu and bean towels, as well as some cabbage and radish, and when I put things down, I took the whole family to the market to buy things.

Bean towel refers to the time when making tofu, the soy milk is filtered and boiled in a large pot, and when it is boiled, the fire in the stove is very small. When the soy milk in the pot calms down, it will slowly produce a layer of yellow on the top, pinch the middle with your hand, and then pick it up with a stick underneath, and lift this layer of skin.

Then hang it up to dry, soak it when you eat it, and stir-fry the vegetables with unique muscles and bones. It looks similar to the current yuba, but the taste is definitely different.

This thing is a slow thing to make, and the tofu is not tasty because of the more tofu, so it is slowly eliminated from the market, although there are still there, but the price is much more expensive than meat.

After a while, there was another family that had only recently made friends, and it was the family that Yan Fei helped to find the cow.

The family's surname is Guan, speaking of which, Guan Yue, the head teacher of Yanfei, is still from the same village, and knows that radish and cabbage are generally not lacking at home, and what they bring is lotus cabbage and vermicelli.

Many relatives came one after another, including onions and garlic, and they all gave away whatever they planted, and Yan Fei accepted them unceremoniously. Basically, it's like this every year, and when the Chinese New Year is over, you send each other something you have. If you don't accept it, then you are not sensible, and people are not begging you to do something or something, just normal exchanges.

It didn't take long for the New Year's to get all the things, and the most I could do was to buy some kelp, melon seeds, candy cubes and the like.

Now is the time when people are getting richer and richer, and they have nothing to buy with a little money.
