Chapter 073: Catch the Market
Feng Jiaojiao almost trotted back to the guest house because she was thinking about the bazaar.
As soon as she entered the door of the guest house, she didn't look at the front desk aunt who nodded and smiled at her, and went straight to the door of Feng Chengwei's room.
Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~ A compact knock echoed through the empty hallway.
"Jiaojiao, have you finished the exam?" Feng Chenglei hurriedly asked as soon as he opened the door and saw that it was Feng Jiaojiao.
Feng Chengwei in the room heard that it was Feng Jiaojiao, and hurriedly walked out, standing beside Feng Chenglei and looking at her, waiting for her to answer.
Feng Jiaojiao saw the concern of Feng Chengwei and Feng Chenglei brothers, smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's good." ”
The two brothers were happy when they heard this, and they immediately smiled.
"Great, I'm just Jiaojiao!" Feng Chenglei cheered happily, and the eldest brother Feng Chengwei also grinned at the corners of his mouth, revealing his white and neat teeth.
"Big brother and second brother, do you know the market in the south of this county?" Feng Jiaojiao and the other brothers were happy for a while before asking.
"I know, what's wrong?" Feng Chengwei replied suspiciously, didn't his little sister know?
"Oh, so did you go shopping? Did you go shopping?"
"What are you going to buy there, it's all the surplus things of the various brigades to sell there, although you don't need a ticket, but a pound of meat costs a dime, and a pound of cornmeal costs five cents, who is full to buy there?" Feng Chengwei said and pulled Feng Jiaojiao into the house: "Come in first to warm up." ”
Feng Jiaojiao followed Feng Chengwei into the house: "Then where can I buy it if I don't go there?" The supply and marketing cooperatives ask for tickets, we don't have tickets, and the supply and marketing cooperatives don't have so much fresh meat." ”
Feng Chengwei looked at Feng Jiaojiao's appearance and said funny: "You gluttonous girl, which family will eat meat every day? It's very good to eat a meal during the New Year's Festival, and some people don't see a little minced meat in a year!"
"Isn't it?, I see that the people in our village are doing well, right?" Feng Jiaojiao said uncertainly.
"Our village has been okay for the past two years, and we can eat half full, but meat, don't think about it, many families may not be able to eat meat during the New Year, and the one who eats meat is also an old hen slaughtered at home! There is no pig in the village, so I can't eat meat. ”
Feng Jiaojiao always felt that she had eaten too little, and there were so many people in the family, and she couldn't eat fifty catties of meat for long.
"Big brother, you can accompany me to the market to have a look, I haven't been to it yet~" Feng Jiaojiao took Feng Chengwei's arm and dangled it, coquettishly.
Delicate and glutinous, sweet and sweet voice, Feng Chengwei really can't refuse, but Feng Jiaojiao's request, he doesn't plan to refuse.
"Go, go, how old are you, and you're still coquettish!" Feng Chengwei blushed at Feng Jiaojiao's coquettish face.
The little sister is getting closer and closer to them, and she has never been coquettish in front of her brothers and sisters before, even if she is closest to his milk, she has never been so coquettish.
Feng Chengwei took a few seconds, and his mind sighed how much his little sister Feng Jiaojiao had changed in such a short period of time......
Feng Chenglei noticed the pair of white and shiny shoes on her feet as soon as Feng Jiaojiao entered the door, which he had never seen before, and when Feng Jiaojiao and Feng Chengwei were talking, he looked and looked, and he didn't see a name.
I really can't tell what kind of material it is, the cloth is not cloth, and the leather is not leather.
"Jiaojiao, are you?" he gestured to the shoes on her feet.
Feng Jiaojiao didn't know if there were sneakers or anything like that in this era, but she definitely knew that their family hadn't seen much in the village, so the lie was very smooth: "When I came back, I couldn't walk on those shoes, so I had to go to my friend's place, planning to get a pair of flat cotton shoes, but I didn't expect her to have this kind of shoes, called sneakers, non-slip, I borrowed them to wear first." After saying that, she put a POS and asked them to see her shoes.
The brand of Adidas she chose only has a small logo and no Chinese characters, she only wears it at home and in the village, it should be fine, Feng Jiaojiao thought weakly.
"Oh. Feng Chenglei still looked carefully, and Feng Chengwei also looked down.
Men generally like this kind of sports running shoes, but now Feng Jiaojiao really can't give them away, and they don't even have a provenance.
"When I meet it in the future, I'll buy you all a pair, but it's not realistic now, it's a foreign product!"
After listening to Feng Jiaojiao's words, her happy mouth hung on her ears, and she nodded again and again, but the two of them didn't say anything they didn't want, they really liked it too much. Although I can't wear it yet, at least I have a thought and a hope!
_
Because they were in a hurry, they walked quickly, and the ice on the road was not as hard as it was in the morning, and they came to the market after a while.
It's said to be a bazaar, but there are few people here, and there are more people selling than buying.
Feng Jiaojiao and the three of them walked on the street of the market, looking at the things placed on both sides of the road, most of them were cornmeal, corn stubble, potatoes, carrots, and even pickled pickle gnocchi, until they reached the end, they saw a cow hanging on a large wooden shelf, a cow skeleton that had been cut and scraped more than half of its meat.
Feng Jiaojiao walked to the uncle who was sitting on the edge of the beef stall with bright eyes, wearing a tattered cotton coat and a bitter gourd face, pressed her excited heart, and asked calmly: "Uncle, how is the beef sold?"
Li Daqin looked at the brightly dressed girl and asked for the price, and instantly felt better, and said happily, "A piece of eight, girl, a piece of eight and one catty." This is the price set by their captain, saying that he will drop a dime when he can't sell it, but now the bazaar is about to end, there are still fifty or sixty catties of meat left, and the beef bones are almost not sold, he is anxiously angry, and the captain gave a death order, so that he must sell out, otherwise he will be deducted half a year's work!
Who let it be when he was herding the cow and the cow ran madly and fell into the ditch and was crippled.
Deduct half a year's work, and his family will starve to death next year, alas!
No matter how good the conditions are, this girl can't buy them all, and how can the rest of the meat and beef bones be sold? There are almost no buyers in the market.
Thinking about it, my face became depressed, and I wanted to cry without tears......
"Uncle, can it be cheaper? ”
Li Daqin is honest and duty-free, he has never sold anything, he doesn't know how to bargain, and he doesn't hide it from the little girl in front of him: "Girl, everything is the price set by the captain, and he asks him to sell it for a minimum of seven, and I can't be the master if it is lower." ”
Feng Jiaojiao knew that this was a collective thing, so she didn't continue to bargain, and said with a smile: "Then how can you sell beef bones?
Li Daqin was even happier when he heard this, and he was finally able to sell some beef bones, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, beef bones are not worth much, the minimum is three cents." ”
When Feng Jiaojiao heard this, she was crazy in her heart, it was only three cents, so cheap!
"Uncle, I want all your beef bones and beef. ”
"Jiaojiao, what do you want so many beef bones for? You don't even have meat, you like to eat, just buy a little soup and boil some soup, you don't need that much." Feng Chengwei hurriedly pulled Feng Jiaojiao and said.
When Li Daqin heard this, he was stunned, he wanted it? Why can a family eat so much beef?
Feng Jiaojiao patted Feng Chengwei soothingly, but she didn't explain, what explanation is there, explain that she is hungry? Want to eat beef jerky? Want to eat beef noodle soup every day?
Although you have to keep a low profile, you can't grieve your mouth if you have money, right?
Turning his head to look at the uncle who sells meat, staring at her, why not?
"What, uncle, don't you sell it?" said after picking out the good-looking peach blossom eyes.
"No, no, you, girl, do you really buy so much?" the honest Li Daqin stammered.
Where did the eldest lady come from, do you still want to eat so much? Although he will complete the task after selling it out at once, and he will not have to be deducted half a year's work, but what should this girl do if she buys so much and her parents blame her when she goes home? Will she find his account?
Buying too much is indeed too ostentatious, Feng Jiaojiao's beautiful eyes turned and said: "I'll calculate, Grandpa Li's family is 2 catties, Second Uncle Zhao is 3 catties, Third Uncle Zhao is 3 catties, Fourth Aunt Yang is 1 catty, and Widow Wang is 2 catties...... , Oh, I calculated that I got seventy or eighty pounds today, and if it wasn't enough, I could only let them buy some bones to make some soup, and they could smell some meat, right?"
It turned out to be brought to the villagers, and he said who could buy so much.
"Alas, yes, yes, the bone broth is also delicious, I'll bring more meat when you debon, so that everyone can get some meat and fishy for the New Year!" Li Daqin smiled innocently.
"Okay, then I'll thank you for them!" Feng Jiaojiao looked at this simple uncle and said with a smile.
"No thanks, no thanks!hehe~" Scratched his head embarrassedly, didn't touch his head and pulled his hat again, and the little girl Xie's face was hot.
_
Although Li Daqin is not a butcher, he has also killed a lot of pigs, and he has learned to debone well, and it didn't take long to pick it up.
Feng Jiaojiao looked at the picked meat and bones, and only had one feeling, the bones were so clean!
Is it the thin layer on the bones? And the tendons that can't be removed from the corners of the bones?
Feng Jiaojiao sighed here, and Li Daqin weighed the meat and bones separately.
"Girl, the meat is fifty-nine catties and two taels, and my uncle will press fifty-nine catties for you, and the bones are one hundred and ninety catties. ”
Feng Jiaojiao quickly calculated the amount of money: "That's one hundred and fifty-seven yuan and three cents, right?" Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative, and after speaking, she took out a wad of money and began to count.
Li Daqin counted three times before he calculated the amount of money: "Yes, yes, today's young people are amazing!" said admiringly, he graduated from elementary school, it would be good to be able to calculate such a big number, how could it be so fast!
Feng Jiaojiao handed the money to the uncle who sold meat, and sighed, it is really fast to earn and spend faster!
Or too little money!
Li Daqin carefully counted Qian Zai three times before he looked up at Feng Chengwei and Feng Chenglei who were standing behind Feng Jiaojiao, and said to Feng Jiaojiao: "Then how do you take these meat and bones?"
Feng Jiaojiao patronized the shopping and forgot about the stubble, but when she saw the ox cart behind him, she said, "Uncle, can you help us deliver it to the guest house? ”
"Yes, yes. "This girl has done him a great favor today, and he will definitely help with this little thing!
As he spoke, he bent down and moved the bag of meat to the ox cart, and Feng Chengwei and Feng Chenglei also stepped forward to help with complicated thoughts.
They really don't understand why his little sister spends so much money on bones to eat!
In fact, Feng Jiaojiao didn't expect that the bone was nearly 200 catties, she thought it was less than 100 catties, and it didn't cost much.
Who would have thought of spending so much money? She was also distressed, okay?
[Author]: Who asked you to buy some meat to spend a year's expenses on a large family?
[Miss Feng]: You!
