Chapter 19: Buying Meat

The three of them thanked the proprietress and walked out, Qiu Yue and An Niang looked at Miao Miao with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, Miao Miao knew that they must be wondering where they got so much money, so they said: "I know you are curious about what I just said to the proprietress, but it's also time to eat, isn't it?" Let's find a place to eat first, and I'll talk to you slowly when we sit down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

happened to see a noodle stall not far in front, so Miao Miao pulled the two of them to the noodle stall. When I first arrived in the town before, Miao Miao saw the sign hanging in the shop, and the words written on it were the same as the modern traditional Chinese characters, although Miao Miao couldn't write, but I could probably guess it. So when I saw the price list on the noodle stall, it was not very expensive, so I planned to invite two people to eat a bowl of noodles.

Qiu Yue and An Niang were unwilling, and said to Miao Miao: "We have brought our own dry food, so don't break the bank, this side is not cheap, you keep the money to buy some snacks for the two children to take back." But Miao Miao insisted that she must invite them to dinner, so Qiu Yue said: "Otherwise, there is a tea stall not far ahead, let's go there, I just ate too much dim sum in Xiuzhuang before, and now I am a little thirsty, there are seats over there, we can still talk while eating." ”

Miao Miao said that it was okay, so she no longer insisted, and went to the tea stall with the two of them.

found a place, the three of them sat down, Miao Miao asked the boss for three bowls of tea, but it was really cheap, a bowl for a penny, and you could pour a second bowl for free. Miao Miao looked around, most of them brought their own dry food, came here to buy a bowl of tea, and then sat and ate.

The three of them took out dry food and ate it with tea, but Qiu Yue and An Niang's eyes looked at Miao Miao, Miao Miao smiled, and told the two of them the ins and outs of the matter.

The two were shocked after hearing this, and Qiu Yue said: "I didn't know that you still had this ability, but I see that you are really tight enough." ”

"How can that? I'm not tightening, I didn't know it before. Some time ago, I didn't fall into the water and fell into a coma for two days, in the dream, I saw others do this, after waking up, I can still remember this way, these two days I pondered it, and I almost understood how this buckle is made. This time when I went to the town, I thought of selling it to the embroidery village, if I had known it before, I would have sold it a long time ago, so why is it my turn to now? You don't know what life is going on in my house. Besides, it's just the three of us, and I won't hide it from anyone, right? ”

I don't want to lie, I just want to tell the truth without scaring these two people to death, so I can only lie to them with a nonsense reason. But this excuse is also the most convincing to others.

The two of them thought about it, and they both praised Miao Miao's good luck, and if they dreamed of the money-making craft, they were all blessed by God. After hearing this, Qiu Yue asked: "Then have you dreamed of any tricks, I wonder if you can embroider some new purses?" ”

"I seem to have seen it in a dream, but I don't know if I can get into your eyes, otherwise when I go back and draw it, you can go back and see if it suits your heart, okay?"

"I'm joking with you, how can I really ask for you, if there are really any novel tricks, you can sell them directly to the embroidery village, and you can earn some silver." An Niang replied.

"It's still a shadowless thing, I don't know if the pattern is good or not, but if there is a novelty, I'll give it to you, you can earn a few bucks by selling patterns, it's better to give you an embroidered purse, so you can earn a little more."

"Then tell me when you're done, and I'm welcome!"

"Cheng, when I finish painting, you can come to my house to pick it, but I don't guarantee that everything is good, don't blame me if you don't have your eyes when the time comes." Miao Miao said.

"How can that, no matter what, I'm taking advantage of it, how can I blame you!"

"Okay, don't thank you two for coming and going, it's weird, hurry up and eat, the tea is going to be cold, let's discuss this trick when you go back, what we're going to talk about now is where to go later?"

"Hey, the two of us only cared about talking to ourselves, and forgot about Qiuyue aside, no, people are jealous!" Miao Miao said with a smile on the side.

"Who's jealous! Am I so stingy in your eyes? Qiu Yue looked unconvinced.

"How dare I, who doesn't know that our Sister Qiuyue is the most generous, Anniang, do you say it?"

"Not really! Who in our village doesn't say that Sister Qiuyue is generous and capable, I think Brother Fugui married Sister Qiuyue really burned high incense in his last life. ”

"You two little girls, join forces to laugh at me, don't you? See how I clean you both. After Qiu Yue finished speaking, she pretended to come over to catch Miao Miao and An Niang.

"Hey, I'm still angry, An Niang, we have to apologize to the Autumn Moon Woman quickly and ask her to let us live." After Miao Miao finished speaking, the three women all laughed.

While talking and laughing, lunch was also finished, and Qiu Yue proposed to go shopping again, anyway, it was still early. I just made money, so I have to buy some snacks for my children to take home, otherwise I will die of trouble when I go home. Miao Miao thought about buying a kitchen knife and scissors again, the kitchen knife in the house had a hole, cutting vegetables was particularly troublesome, and it was not easy to make, the scissors were not aligned, it was troublesome to cut a thread, it was better to bite with teeth, when sewing the quilt before, Miao Miao's teeth were about to fall off, this time I made money, I must buy these two things, otherwise I will suffer myself.

Qiu Yue and An Niang took Miao Miao to the grocery store, this metal and other things are really expensive, a kitchen knife costs fifty yuan, scissors thirty yuan, when paying, Miao Miao feels that she is cutting her own meat, this money she just earned, she has not covered it yet, so she spent it. But this is also a necessity of life, this money should be spent, and it should be spent, so save it in other places!

After buying the knives, the three of them went to the dim sum shop, and each of them bought some sweets, which are not as colorful as modern ones, a little yellow, and I don't know what they are made of. However, Miao Miao can rest assured that the food raw materials here are all natural, unlike modern food additives, flavors, pigments and the like. However, this kind of candy is also expensive, Miao Miao bought it for five cents, and there were not a few yuan, thinking that it would be okay to give the children a sweet mouth, but it could not be eaten as a meal.

After buying the sugar, Qiu Yue said: "At this time, the market is about to disperse, why don't we go to the pork stall and have a look, maybe it will be cheaper?" ”

Miao Miao thought about it, she hadn't eaten fresh meat yet, and the two little buns were hungry for meat, so she could buy a little less, so she told Qiu Yue that she would go too, and An Niang saw that both of them said to go, so they went together.

When she arrived at the pork stall, Qiu Yue asked, "Boss, is there still fat?" ”

"There's another piece, do you want it?" The pork stall owner replied.

"Then you can weigh it for me and see how much it weighs."

The boss weighed it and said, "Eight taels, do you want it?" ”

Qiu Yue turned her head and asked Miao Miao and An Niang if they wanted it, and both of them shook their heads. Miao Miao doesn't like to eat fatty meat, and An Niang is because she hasn't split up yet, and she has to eat meat with a large family, and she is not favored in this room, and she can't eat meat if she has it, and she has to waste her private money, so she is not stupid!

Seeing that neither of them wanted, Qiu Yue asked the price and bought it, usually buying twenty wen a catty, but now it sells for eighteen wen a catty, and sure enough, when the market is about to be dissolved, things will be cheaper. Miao Miao saw the pig's trotters in the corner of the table, so she asked the boss how much it was? The boss said: "This thing is usually not sold, big sister, you see that although I don't have this fat meat, there are still other meats, you see this fat and lean meat usually sells for 16 wen a catty, this piece of lean meat is a little more, I will sell you 13 wen, if you want lean meat, I will sell you 12 wen, I will also close the stall, I will sell it cheaply, or you can buy some casually, I will give you this pig's foot." ”

Miao Miao thought that this boss was really good at business, but he also planned to buy some meat, and the pork belly that the boss just pointed out was not bad, fat and thin, suitable for braised pork. So I asked the boss for two catties. Then he pointed to the big pig bone on the side and asked the boss to give it to her.

The boss said: "Sister, this is really not good, this meat is already cheap for you, this bone can't be sent, there is still some meat on it, and I will die if I send it again, or else, you add four dollars to make up a whole number, you can take these two pig bones, don't you think it?"

Miao Miao doesn't suffer a loss if she thinks about it, you must know that modern tube bones are more expensive than meat. The two children in the family have yellow faces and thin muscles, so they bought some big bones and went back to make soup for them, so they agreed and asked the boss to wrap them up.

After buying the meat, An Niang said that the time was almost over, and Uncle Yang was coming soon, and it was time to go home. So the three of them went to the embroidery village again to take the things they had stored, and then walked to the place where they got off in the morning.
