Chapter 320: Buying Meat and Being Annoyed
The latest chapter of "The Peasant Landlord's Wife"...
Miao Miao turned around and called out in a weak heart: "Mother." ”
Hui Niang glanced at Miao Miao and Xiaoxue behind her, "Miao Miao, where do you want to go?" ”
Miao Miao said: "It's too boring at home, I want to take Xiaoxue out to play?" ”
"Okay, you guys go, come back in half an hour, you know?" Hui Niang told her, she still knows Miao Miao's thoughts, and she can't always detain her.
Miao Miao saw that Hui Niang agreed, nodded quickly, and before Hui Niang could tell Xiaoxue a few more words, she pulled Xiaoxue and ran away, Hui Niang helplessly glanced at Miao Miao who ran away, and then went into the house.
When Miao Miao came back from playing outside, half an hour had already passed, so Miao Miao had to be trained by Hui Niang, and was punished for not going out before the year, Miao Miao was aggrieved and complained to Fan Ming.
As a result, Fan Ming also supported Hui Niang's decision, and said bitterly to Miao Miao: "Miao Miao, it's not that your mother won't let you go out, it's almost the New Year, and there are a lot of traffickers outside, if you are deceived away, where will your father and mother go to find you?" ”
Fan Ming said this, Miao Miao really stopped talking, although she was small, she naturally understood that human traffickers were very powerful, and she no longer made trouble.
When she went to bed at night, Hui Niang poked Fan Ming's chest and said, "Okay, you, I know that the threat Miao Miao is coming." "I don't know who I learned from.
Fan Ming smiled, squeezed Hui Niang's hand, and said innocently: "Daughter-in-law, didn't I learn this from you?" ”
Hui Niang was choked by Fan Ming, glared at him, slapped away the hand that reached into the hem of her clothes, and said to Fan Ming: "Go to bed quickly, don't mess around." After speaking, he immediately shrank into the quilt, Fan Ming's hand fell into the air, and he lay down.
Before dawn the next day, Fan Ming got up and folded the quilt for Hui Niang. Fan Ming took the silver and went downstairs, after washing, Fan Ming lit a torch and opened the door, planning to call Feng San, who knew that Fan Ming had just opened the door, and Feng San, who was standing at the door, immediately stood up.
shouted, "Master." ”
Fan Ming was stunned, and then said, "Uncle Feng, how long have you been squatting here?" "Didn't you say that yesterday? And he arose, and called him. How cold is it out here? Feng San didn't wait for him to call in the house.
Feng San didn't answer Fan Ming's question, but said, "It didn't take long, master." Shall we go now? ”
Fan Ming nodded, "Go, go now, next time I call you, you come back, it's quite cold for you to stand here alone." Anyway, you don't live very far away, so you can hear it when you call it. ”
Feng San saw that Fan Ming cared about him so much, and his heart was moved.
After Fan Ming finished speaking, he took the back basket that he had prepared last night, and the two of them carried a back basket and closed the door. I went to the butcher's house.
It was pitch black outside, no light was visible, and the village was silent. The north wind whistled on Fan Ming's cheeks, Fan Ming couldn't help but touch his face, and went to Jiang Butcher's house with Feng San all the way.
After about twenty minutes, Fan Ming and Feng San arrived at Jiang Butcher's house, which was brightly lit. Butcher Jiang was talking loudly to his daughter-in-law in his characteristic voice, and Fan Ming and Feng San called a few times outside. Butcher Jiang came out.
By the light of the fire, Butcher Jiang saw that it was Fan Ming, and saw a person behind him, and said, "It's Ah Ming, you are here, you came just in time, I have ready the pork, come and get it." ”
For Feng San, Butcher Jiang didn't ask much.
Fan Ming nodded, followed Butcher Jiang into the house, Butcher Jiang entered the house, pointed to the pig that had just been killed on the table, and said: "Ah Ming, I haven't weighed this pork yet, my mother-in-law has little strength and can't lift it, now that you're here, it's just right, let's weigh it, and you can take the pork back." ”
"Okay." Fan Ming, Feng San and Butcher Jiang worked together to weigh the pig they had just killed, a total of more than 150 catties of pork, and Butcher Jiang asked Fan Ming again, do you want the pig's head and pig offal, Fan Ming thought about it, and asked for it.
Because Fan Ming wants a whole head, Jiang Butcher asks for a cheap price, seventeen dollars a catty, which is more than two and a half pieces of silver, and now it is almost a month, and pork is not as cheap as before, Jiang Butcher calculates that Fan Ming gives Fan Ming seventeen dollars a catty, which is also a kind price, it should be said that Fan Ming does not make any money.
Fan Ming took out the silver from his purse and gave it to Butcher Jiang, and said, "Then thank you, Uncle Jiang, you can help me prepare a pig the day after tomorrow, I still come over to get it so early as today." ”
Jiang Butcher's kindness, Fan Ming saw it in his eyes, and even his tone was much closer.
Butcher Jiang nodded and said with a smile: "No problem." "Killing one more pig is to make more money, how could he not want to.
Fan Ming and Feng San put the divided pork into the two back baskets, and after loading the pork, they said goodbye to Butcher Jiang, "Ah Ming, you two go slowly!" ”
Fan Ming and Feng San came out of Butcher Jiang's courtyard and responded, "Got it, Uncle Jiang, go back quickly." ”
Butcher Jiang saw that Fan Ming and the two had walked far before entering the house, and Butcher Jiang's daughter-in-law, Xu, said: "The pork you said and you bought for many days is the third child of the old Fan family?" ”
"Yes, he ordered ten heads of pork, and now he takes one head back, and there are nine more, so we can also make some money."
Xu Shi looked at the happy smile of Butcher Jiang, and his heart was also a little happy, and he couldn't help but think of the rumors in the village before, and couldn't help but be a little worried, "Did the third child of the Fan family give you silver?" ”
"Give, just weigh it and give it, don't worry about this and that, I won't tell you, help me clean up, I'm going to go to the town to sell meat." Butcher Jiang also gave the money he had just collected to the Xu family.
Xu took the silver and snorted Jiang Butcher, "Look at your bear-like appearance, what are you doing in a hurry?" Isn't it still dawn? You go back to sleep for a while, it's cold now, who came to buy pork so early, listen to me, go and sleep for a while. Seeing that Butcher Jiang had not moved for a long time, Xu hurriedly pushed him into the house.
A smile appeared on Butcher Jiang's face, "Got it, I'll go into the house again and squint for a while, and you will call me later." Jiang Butcher sighed in his heart, it is better for his daughter-in-law to know and be considerate of him.
Fan Ming and Feng San went home, put the pork away, Fan Ming asked Feng San to go back first, and then come back to do things when it was dawn, Feng San nodded, put the back basket away, and left.
Fan Ming also washed his hands and went upstairs, as soon as Fan Ming got into the quilt, Hui Niang was woken up by the cold air that Fan Ming brought into the quilt, and pushed the person next to him, Hui Niang said: "Ah Ming, did you come back with pork?" ”
As soon as Hui Niang spoke, she was hugged by Fan Ming, "Yes, daughter-in-law, it's really cold outside." "The quilt is like a stove, and he doesn't want to leave.
Hui Niang chuckled, "While it's still early, let's get some sleep." ”
Fan Ming responded in a low voice, hugged Hui Niang and fell asleep.
As soon as the morning dawned, Hui Niang got up to cook first, and then went downstairs, and saw that Aunt Qi and Xiaoxue were already busy in the kitchen, and when they saw Hui Niang coming down, they said, "Madam, I have already boiled the hot water." ”
"Well, Aunt Qi's little snow is too early, in winter, it's not too late to let her sleep for a while and get up again." Hui Niang is not a good master, but this winter, it is a little bad for a child to get up so early, and she feels as if she has enslaved her.
Xiaoxue smiled: "It's okay, madam, I'm used to getting up early." ”
After washing, Aunt Qi made breakfast, Hui Niang went upstairs to call Fan Ming and Miao Miao to get up, after breakfast, several people immediately divided labor and cooperated, Feng San first got forage to feed the cattle and horses, and then together with Fan Ming cut the pork brought back into pork strips, because the pork strips were not good, Hui Niang and Aunt Qi cleaned the pig's head and pig internal organs and other things, marinated them, and the pork legs were planned to be made into bacon together.
The hair on the pig's head and pig's leg is more troublesome, Hui Niang stayed behind, and when Hui Niang was cleaning, she thought that she must do these things early next year, otherwise she will be really out of control when she is busy, and Aunt Qi's movements are also very fast, Hui Niang generally said it once, and she remembered it.
Aunt Qi saw Hui Niang and told her that after the pig was washed in water, it was delicious to make a dish, but she still didn't believe it? After the pig was cleaned in the water, it was known that Hui Niang was not lying.
After these were cleaned up, Fan Ming and Feng San also chopped up the pork strips, Hui Niang and Aunt Qi stopped what they were doing, and began to prepare the sauce for bacon, and Fan Ming and Feng San went to scald the hair on the pig's head and pork legs.
Hui Niang knew that the price of pork given to them by Butcher Jiang was low, and she thought that after the pig's head was cooked with other ingredients, she asked Feng San to send a jar over, and at the same time did not forget the old man Fan's there.
The sauce for bacon is very simple, the only difficult thing to do is to smoke the meat, after it has been smoked, it can be considered a success, and it will be smoked for several days.
Fortunately, with the help of Feng San and his wife, the speed of making bacon was obviously much faster than that of Fan Ming and his wife, and after a few days, Hui Niang also made two or three pigs of bacon, and the first batch of bacon also came out successfully.
Fan Ming and Hui Niang also had to go to the city to find a buyer, Fan Ming thought about cooperating with Pei Muqing several times, so the first one to find him, of course, was to go past Zhou's shopkeeper and discuss directly with Pei Muqing.
The salted eggs that Pei Muqing bought from Fan Ming last time had a good response, and when he heard that Fan Ming was looking for him, he came happily, and Jiang Yu came with him.
Originally, Pei Muqing didn't want to take this cousin, but Jiang Yu was too tightly entangled, and this cold day was really boring, and Jiang Yu didn't want to be confined to practicing calligraphy at home, so he found an excuse to sneak out to find Pei Muqing.
"Xiao Wu, I still have to talk about things later, you are not allowed to make a sound, do you hear?" Pei Muqing was afraid that this cousin would make some trouble again, so he warned him first.
Jiang Yu pursed his lips unhappily, and said pitifully: "Cousin, am I really so unreassuring you?" And talk to me so fiercely. ”
Pei Muqing glanced at him speechlessly, "Am I so fierce to you?" Okay, my cousin is wrong, okay, I shouldn't treat you like that, you have to be obedient later, okay? ”
Jiang Yu was most annoyed that others coaxed him with a child's attitude, and immediately said angrily: "Cousin, I'm not a child anymore, don't you use a child's tone to me?" ”
