Chapter 14 Pork Sells Better Than I Imagined
After crossing a small river that is not too wide, Rong Bai feels a deep malice from this world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The soft fabric of his clothes is not waterproof at all. As soon as I got out of the water, my long shirt was wrapped tightly around my body like a strap. If Rong Bai hadn't practiced underwater escape at the military academy, I'm afraid he would have drowned in it. So, Rong Bai firmly put the purchase of the boat in the first place in the shopping column.
Rong Bai's clothes were all soaked, and he couldn't go ashore normally at the ferry. So, she finally found a hidden place to go ashore.
After all, you have to take off your clothes and blow dry. Hengqing's previous reaction to Rong Bai wearing bandeau ultra-shorts can also be reflected, and people in this world don't seem to be able to accept girls showing their arms and legs.
The weather in the middle of summer is still very hot and windy. The clothes he begged from Hengqing were very thin, and in less than half an hour, they were all dry. Rong Bai put his coat on his body, carried the basket, and drilled into the road.
There is only one road leading to the town, and although the weather is hot, there are still quite a few pedestrians. I have to say that this town is still well governed, otherwise, how could people come out in this kind of weather.
"Is meat in your basket?" you need to queue up to enter the city, and when Rong Bai was queuing, a woman behind him asked.
"It's pork. Rong Bai nodded.
", this season, why did you kill the pig at home!" The woman looked at Rong Bai in disbelief: "This is going to be raised until the Chinese New Year, isn't that a big pig?"
Even if the entire county government is only governed by the county order, how can farmers afford to raise pigs in ordinary times. Even if you can afford it, you must raise it until the New Year, raise it and then kill it. Now that the middle of the year has not passed, looking at the woman's basket, I am afraid that this pig will not be caught for long.
Women naturally think badly.
Rong Bai uncovered the cloth that covered the basket. The meat was broken at noon, and the fat meat was chosen, and it was oily at first glance. Obviously not suckling pork.
"Is this lard?" the woman was even more shocked when she saw the fat in the white basket.
The pork is called differently depending on the position. For example, this kind of white flower is all fat meat, and the local people call it lard. Compared to other types of meat, this lard is more popular with the common people. Rongbai's basket of pork can be refined into a crockpot of lard, a small spoonful a day, and you can eat it for half a year.
If it were any other meat, it would probably only last three or four days to die.
Rong Bai didn't understand what the woman meant, but she knew that what this person said should be the fat in the basket.
"Did you give it away or take it out and sell it? The woman reached out and examined the flesh in Rong Bai's basket. The quality is very good, the surface is still shiny, and it is clear that it has not been long since it was cut. When I thought that the children in the family hadn't smelled meat for months, I couldn't help but want to buy a little.
"I want to get some food. Rong Bai replied.
The woman flipped open the basket she was carrying, and inside were some round yellow bean grains. "This is soybeans, I'll exchange half a basket of soybeans for a piece of meat with you. ”
The woman's basket is not big, half a basket of soybeans, and it weighs only one pound. Before Rong Bai left, he discussed the price of meat and grain with Hengqing, and neither of them had any common sense, and the exchange rate was directly set at one to two. The meat Rong Bai brought this time was all finely cut fat meat, each piece was not big, and the piece of meat that the woman was pointing at was no more than half a catty.
"Done. Rong Bai listened to the woman's suggestion, nodded and agreed.
The two men broke away from the group, found a shade on the side of the road, and began to exchange. The cloth that covered the pork had been formed into a ribbon by Rong Bai. The woman and the truth not only gave Rong Bai half a basket of beans, but also grabbed a few plums and threw them to Rong Bai. "It's hot, eat some fire. ”
Rong Bai nodded in thanks.
The scene that happened on the side of the road was naturally not hidden. When the two were exchanging, someone surrounded them. Looking at the fat in Rong Bai's basket, many people were a little moved. stepped forward to ask if the meat was sold, and Rong Bai naturally replied that it was sold. After a while, more than a dozen people gathered under the shade of the trees.
Although Rong Bai brought more than ten catties of meat, he couldn't stand more people. After a while, the meat in the basket was replaced with all sorts of things. Fourteen or fifteen eggs, beans, corn, and greens and fruits.
When it was a person's turn, Rong Bai touched the basket and looked a little embarrassed. "There's no meat. ”
It's rare to encounter such cheap meat, how can anyone be willing to give up, the person is even more anxious: "There is no oil, other meat is fine!"
Rong Bai generously handed the basket to the man, and there was indeed no meat in it.
"Then, when do you still have meat to sell?" The people next to him bought it, but he didn't buy it, and the man was still unwilling.
Rong Bai thought of the wild boar hidden in the kitchen, there was still a lot of pork left, in such a hot weather, I am afraid that it will spoil if I leave it until tomorrow, it is better to go back and forth a few more times and get the meat out. "If you're willing to wait a while, I'll get it for you. But there's not much fat. Meat from somewhere else, where do you want?"
There is actually not much fat on the pig, and Rong Bai has already sold the best quality fat just now.
"Yes, the lean meat is also made, just a little more oil. I don't change much. ”
Rong Bai nodded.
Carrying his basket, he walked back. There were already a lot more things in the basket, but Rong Bai didn't feel heavy when he carried it. During this time, the body was not bad. But when he went home, Rong Bai didn't want to swim back, didn't he see dozens of people staring at him tightly in the shade of the trees!
At the end of the riverside road is a small wooden pier. There are a few humble boats docked. Rong Bai's chosen means of transportation is this kind of boat.
Linjiang County is a county town that relies on a small river, and the county order is a talented one, otherwise it would not have built some wharves by the river to facilitate the people to travel. Rong Bai found a nearby boatman and pointed out the direction to take a boat home.
"Guest officer, I saw you just selling meat in the shade of the tree. The boat is not going fast, and the boatman will chat with the guests when he has nothing to do: "I have a few fish here, and if you want, I would like to exchange some meat with you." The boatman, who was standing at the stern of the boat, kicked the basket on the side with his foot, and Rong Bai heard the sound of fish jumping in it.
Live food is definitely more popular than dead food. How could Rong Bai be unwilling.
When he got home, thinking of the crowd gathered in the shade of the tree just now, Rong Bai decided to leave the meat he wanted to use, and bring the rest over. Anyway, this time, there was a small boat parked at the ferry.
But this time, Rong Bai also learned to be obedient, she directly removed the door panel of her own door, and put half a pig on it, and dragged it out directly with a rope by herself.
