The two of them went to the cattle store to take a look, and there were more than a dozen cows of all sizes surrounded by them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The cattle dealers stood by their cattle, and if they had a fancy one, they would talk to their owners and ask about the price.

These cattle dealers are very familiar with each other in ten miles and eight villages, and whoever has a calf will come to buy it when they give birth.

Jin Mantang was already standing in a corner of the cattle shop, obviously for a while.

When he saw the two of them, he beckoned them to a small cow, "Yudong, Xiuxiu, look at this cow." ”

He opened the cow's mouth to let the two of them look at their teeth, and his tone was the excitement of Bole meeting Maxima, "This little yellow is only four months old, and after plowing the field next spring, it will just be able to conceive a cub." This cow looks good at the teeth, and if you eat it, it can grow meat, so that it can be served. It's good to look at the temper. ”

Little Huang, on the side of Yunchang Town, means that this is a heifer.

Yuxiu cares about the temper of the cow, this kind of buffalo has horns, and when it goes crazy, it will take the horns to top the person. In the past, there was a cow in the village that ran wildly for some reason, and several adults didn't stop it, if Yan Qingshan hadn't stepped forward to restrain it at that time, he would have almost died.

Yudong saw Yuxiu staring at the cow and liked it. He approached and reached for the bull's head. The calf sticked out his tongue mischievously and licked the palm of his hand, and he itched so much that he withdrew his hand, and the calf gave him a disgruntled "moo-" cry.

Yudong looked at the cow's eyes again, his eyes were shining, and he looked at himself silently and meekly, which made him like it at once.

"Mantang, listen to you, we'll buy it." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yuxiu, who looked at the calf and liked it very much, and nodded his head.

"Okay, don't worry, you and I haven't seen the cow yet." Jin Mantang said confidently, called the cow owner, asked the cow how to feed the fodder at home, and asked about the cow's situation.

In the end, the two were probably negotiating the price, one said that they were in charge, and the other shook his head to gossip. Yuxiu and Yudong listened carefully with their ears pricked up for a long time, but they didn't understand a word. Obviously, it's all the jargon of the cattle trade.

In the end, Jin Mantang asked them to take two yuan plus 600 yuan, and the deal was sold, but the three yuan was not enough.

Yuxiu understands that this should be a price that only an expert can get.

Yuxiu saw that there were chickens and ducklings selling on the side, and the seller was an old lady, saying that these chickens and ducks were hatched by herself.

Yuxiu asked the price, three chickens cost a penny, and two ducklings cost a penny, and she bought nine chicks and four ducklings, for a total of five pennies.

Yuxiu screamed sweetly as soon as the eldest lady was happy, and grabbed a lame chick on the side, "Girl, this chicken is a little bad in the legs, there is nothing wrong with it, so I will send it to you." ”

"Thank you, auntie." Yu Xiule bloomed, took a big flat basket and put it, and covered the basket with a layer of cloth, so that the chickens and ducklings would not get cold and freeze on the road.

Yuxiu bought a lot of things in bits and pieces, and it was noon. Yudong followed Jin Mantang to set up an ox cart.

The farmer rushed to the market, and at noon, the market began to disperse.

Some people who live in the mountains have to walk for two or three hours on the way to the town by carrying things over the mountains and mountains. If you go back too late, you will be troublesome to climb the mountain at night. So before noon, they packed up and left.

Dongping Village is close to Yunchang Town, and this road is an official road, so they don't have to rush too much.

The three of them all brought dry food, but Yuxiu thought that she would trouble Jin Mantang so much today, so she went to buy a bowl of dumplings and a baked cake and invited Jin Mantang to eat.

Yunchang Town's dumplings are a thin layer of skin wrapped with a little meat, the skin is very thin, and the meat can see the pale pink color of the meat through the skin after cooking. The noodle dumpling soup will be filled with shrimp skin, shredded seaweed and other hanging freshness.

A bowl of dumplings is served, white and red dumplings, green green onions, black seaweed shreds, and a few small shrimp skins looming, red, white, green and black, the color and fragrance are all there.

The baked cake is even more fragrant. Most of the pancakes are filled with dried plum vegetables and chopped green onions and minced meat. The best baked cake has to be filled with half-fat and half-lean meat. The best kind of umeboshi is the one pickled in a bamboo tube. These fillings are mixed well, and a little sugar is added to enhance the freshness and dilute the saltiness of the dried plum vegetables. In the morning, a large ball of noodles is kneaded, a piece is pulled down, the filling is neatly wrapped into the dough, and the pancake is flattened twice on the cutting board, and put it in the oven, which is cooked by the charcoal in the stove.

As soon as the baked cake is cooked, take the tongs and pull it out, the skin on the outside of the baked cake is slightly crispy with the yellow color of the flour baking, the fat is shiny through the dough crust, the lean meat and the dried plum vegetables absorb the oil, and the bite is soft and soft and not firewood at all.

Inviting people to eat dumplings or baked cakes is a very courteous and close relative courtesy. For example, if two relatives meet at the market, the junior's party who understands etiquette will buy a baked cake for the elders to eat, and if they have more money, they will buy a few more for the elders to take home to eat.

Yuxiu bought dumplings and baked cakes, but she didn't deliberately give money, which also meant getting closer to Jin Mantang.

Jin Mantang didn't want to eat the washing that the child bought, and repeatedly shirked it.

"Uncle Mantang, I'm bothering you so much today, if you don't want to eat this little bit of food, we won't dare to trouble you in the future." Yuxiu said crisply, "I still have to bring the dumpling bowl back to the boss, don't be polite to us, eat it quickly." There will be a lot of trouble for you in the future, so I'm bribing you first. ”

Jin Mantang looked at Yuxiu blinking childishly, and couldn't help laughing, "Xiuxiu said that, I'm not welcome." ”

He took the dumplings, but he still refused to eat the baked cakes, "Your uncle and I are old, and I don't like the greasy baked cakes, you can eat this." ”

Yuxiu saw that he really refused to eat, so she took it back and stuffed it to Yudong, "Brother, you eat, I'm full." She shook the dry food in her hand.

This is the baked dough when she goes out early in the morning, with the fragrance of wild onions.

Yudong nibbled on the dry food and put the baked cake into his arms, "I like to eat your baked cakes, why don't you take this home and give it to Shu'er and Xiaosi." ”

Yuxiu lived in a deep mansion compound in her previous life, but she pondered her cooking skills. However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, no matter how good her skills are, there is no salt, no sugar and no filling in this pancake, only a little wild onion mixed with it, it must not be as delicious as the baked cake.

Generally, if you put it at home to eat, you will put some salt or wrap plum dried vegetables into it, and those who are rich will wrap sucrose if you are particular. But if you take it out to make dry food, you won't put salt, it's too salty and easy to dry your mouth.

Yuxiu also specially bought ten catties of flour, one catty of red-headed meat, two catties of pig bones, and brown sugar and other things today, and decided to improve the food for the family after returning home, and show a few hands.

Jin Mantang watched the two children push on the side, and nodded secretly, these children of Yan Qingshan's family are all rare. Yudong is down-to-earth and hardworking, Yuxiu is dexterous and has ideas, and Yushu and Yuliang are also sensible and well-behaved.

Now they are still young, but when they are three years old, they are no different when they grow up.

He thought that when Yan Qingshan was alive, he was hearty and enthusiastic, kind to people in the village, and very popular, so he secretly decided that he would definitely help these four children in the future.
