Chapter 451: Money is Earned and Spent Money
The first is to ask for pink...... Eat enough. Xiao Qi took the frozen pear and said.
In the past, when the family was not separated, the pigs were killed in the house, and the bone-in meat in the pig-killing dishes was counted, and they had to be distributed by Zhou's hands one by one. A few children don't see any oil stars in a year, and even if this is supposed to be the most hearty meal, there is very little meat to be shared. As for Zhang, he can't eat meat at all, he can only eat sauerkraut.
This year, even Man'er's family killed the New Year's pig by themselves, of course, the ridiculous distribution system was canceled, in order to let the visitors and their children eat well, Zhang's deliberately put a lot of more meat in the pig-killing dish, but in the end everyone opened up to eat, still not finished.
Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi are not hungry for meat. In the past year, because the conditions at home have improved, the food has been greatly improved. Eggs and duck eggs are eaten every day when the money is earned in Chapter 451, and fish and meat can be bought every three or five times, and almost every meal has meat.
Many households, even if they have some family resources, are very frugal, especially in food. But Lian Man'er believes that only by eating well can you be in good health, and if you are in good health, you can work better, make money, and study. Moreover, she always remembers that when she first woke up from this world, she saw that Gorou, Lian Zhi'er and Xiao Qi were all malnourished, and she also remembered that at the dinner table where the Zhou family was in charge, the unpalatable food was treated differently from the Zhou family.
It is precisely because of these factors that Lian Man'er has money in his hands, so he wants to let himself, Wulang, Lian Zhi'er, and Xiaoqi eat well and be full. They are all growing their bodies, and nutrition must keep up.
And Zhang and Lian Shouxin are not provincial people. also out of love and compensation for several children, and adopted a conniving attitude towards this.
Speaking of which, as long as Lian Man'er spoke, several children agreed. Zhang and Lian Shouxin hardly objected to anything.
The family gossiped for a while, and then began to discuss how to distribute the pork.
A pig, except for the meal just now. The rest of the 451 chapters of the money earned were spent on the two pork fans, which were cut into large pieces by Butcher Zhang, and are now frozen in the vat outside.
"Cut ten catties for my grandmother's family, ten catties for Brother Youheng, ten catties for Brother Xing's family, and ten catties for Ye'er's family," Lian Man'er said. "By the way, let's not eat that intestine or something, just give it to Uncle Huang, I heard him say that day, it seems that he likes to eat that thing.
The pig killed by Lian Man'er's family was the fattest of the six pigs. The gross weight is nearly two hundred catties. After killing, of course, the amount is not so much, go to the forty catties of pork, and then remove the bits and pieces eaten today, internal organs, pig's head, pig's trotters, pig's tail, lard fat, etc., even the pork left over from Man'er's family, even the bones and meat are only 100 catties.
"New Year's meat for the big guys, we don't have to buy anything else, just come out of here." Zhang said.
"Don't we have to invite a few tables of guests for the New Year, and it is estimated that we will have twenty catties of pork." Even keep your word.
"Use some more in the shop. This meat is enough for us to eat until next year. Zhang said.
"Hmm." Lian Man'er nodded, "Use more in the shop, it is estimated that we can't eat much pork ourselves, don't forget, we also ordered a lamb and ten catties of beef." ”
"yes, I almost forgot about it." Zhang said.
"I still remember this. Eating at the table just now, Third Brother Wu said that he would go west with Jiaxing tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he would bring us back the meat. ”
After talking about the distribution of pork, he talked about sharing the money of a pig to the Zhao family.
"Just give him the third uncle the heaviest pig," Zhang said.
The heaviest one is the pig in Lian Man'er's family, the little pig lamb that Zhang caught at the beginning. The gross weight of the pig is one hundred and ninety-three catties, fourteen cents per catty, and the price of silver is two thousand seven hundred and two cents.
The next day, when Zhao and Lian Ye'er came over, Zhang gave them the pork that was weighed, and Lian Man'er also took two thousand seven hundred and two coins from the money box and handed them to Zhao and Lian Ye'er.
Although it was originally said that they would give the Zhao family a pig, but now that even the Man'er family gave pork and gave the money, the Zhao family and Lian Ye'er hesitated and refused to accept it.
"Her fourth aunt, I'm idle and idle, and feeding the pigs is a convenient thing. With these ten catties of meat, we can live a rich year, which is enough for everything. So much money, we can't ask for it. Zhao said.
"Yes, Fourth Aunt and Sister Man'er, this money is too much, we can't ask for it." Even Ye'er said.
"If you said it was good, you can give it to you." Zhang persuaded him. "It's not like I haven't fed pigs, this is a total of six pigs, feeding several meals a day, this is not a light job."
"Yes, third uncle, you can put this money away quickly." Even Man'er said, "With this money, you can also buy a few little pigs and lambs in the spring next year and feed them to your own pigs." ”
In the end, the big guy persuaded him, and Zhao and Lian Ye'er finally accepted the money gratefully...... Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing came back from the west, pulled back the two sheep and twenty catties of beef, and divided half of them with Lian Man'er's family. Because the whole sheep he bought was killed by someone over there, even Man'er's family got a sheepskin.
Zhang took the initiative to send the sheepskin to the cobbler's shop in the town, so that the cobbler could cook it, and planned to make a sheepskin jacket for Lian Shouxin.
The sheep, like the beef cattle, were raised by the Hui who had migrated further west. The Hui people are very good at raising cattle and sheep, the sheep's fur is very soft and thick, and the meat quality of beef and mutton is also very tender.
"When I was at your grandmother's house before, I also ate this beef and mutton, and it was here that I have only eaten it twice in total over the years." Zhang said with some emotion, "At that time, there were not a few of you, only branches, and there were fifty acres of land in the upper house, which was not as poor as later." ”
"How can we eat this meat?" The family consulted.
Beef and mutton can be stewed, can be chopped into meat filling dumplings, steamed buns, can also be braised and marinated, there are many ways to eat.
"We can make hot pot and shabu mutton." Lian Man'er's two big eyes were bent into two crescents. She has been here for more than a year, and after two winters, she has never eaten hot pot or mutton shabu.
"We don't have a pot at home, if we want to make hot pot and shabu mutton, then we have to buy a pot first." Zhang said.
The hot pot in this era is mostly handmade of pure copper, which is a luxury that ordinary farmers can not hope for. It can be said that if there is a copper hot pot, you can immediately judge that this family has a very generous life.
"Then buy it." Lian Man'er said.
Gorou and Xiaoqi both looked at Zhang.
Lian Zhi'er sat next to him, smiling and not speaking.
When Zhang saw them like this, he understood that the four children all wanted to buy hot pot, eat hot pot, and eat mutton shabu.
Seeing that the New Year is approaching, there are still some New Year's goods should be purchased, the next day in Qingyang Town's big set, the family settled the family, even Shouxin drove the small ox cart, the family sitted, came to the town.
After entering Qingyang Town, Zhang's, Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er got off the bus in front of the jewelry store, and Lian Shouxin took Wulang and Xiaoqi to the Lu family's grocery store, where there were ready-made copper hot pots to sell.
Zhang, Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er entered the jewelry shop, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted them.
"Fourth wife, two girls, sit here and see what catches your eye? If there are rare patterns, they can be customized in our shop. Our shop is full of gold and silver, and the price is real, and the craftsmen who do the work are no worse than those in the county town and the capital city......"
The shopkeeper beckoned the three of them to sit down in the private room at the back with a smile on his face, and then brought in boxes of the best gold and silver jewelry in the shop for them to choose.
This year, the money in her hand is sufficient, and Lian Man'er plans to add some jewelry to the three of them.
"I won't add it, you two sisters pick." Zhang said.
Lian Man'er first picked four gilded silver collars and four gilded silver cleats, which were intended to be divided between Wulang, Xiaoqi, Lian Zhi'er and her. Then, Lian Man'er chose three more pairs of red gold earrings, which were a pair for her, Lian Zhi'er and Zhang. Then, she chose two pairs of twist counterpart concubine silver bracelets and two pairs of garlic blessing silver bracelets. Each of these four pairs of bracelets weighs about one or two, and she and Lian Zhi'er have two pairs each.
Then Lian Man'er picked two silver hairpins for herself and Lian Zhi'er, and two plain red gold rings.
In the end, Lian Man'er also picked a silver hairpin for Zhang's family, and ordered a pair of silver bracelets with loach backs to the shopkeeper.
"Two taels each." Lian Man'er told the shopkeeper.
Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er are still young, and they don't look good with too heavy jewelry, but Zhang's age can hold down the weight. This kind of heavy weapon, in addition to making jewelry decoration, is also the accumulation of the bottom of the box.
After picking out the jewelry, even Man'er asked the shopkeeper to take the box and send it to her house at night. Naturally, he agreed.
Coming out of the jewelry shop, the mother walked to the Lu family's grocery store, and was passing by a shop selling fur.
"I don't know when the sheepskin will be ripe, and when the time comes, the surface of the leather jacket will be made of stone blue satin." Zhang said casually.
"Mother, let's just buy a few more skins." Lian Man'er's heart moved, and he said.
The mother entered the leather goods store, and the shopkeeper and the guy naturally greeted him with a smile.
"My brother and Xiaoqi go to school every day, and they are blown back and forth by the wind, so they have to dress warmly, and one person should make a hairy coat. My sister and I also make a leather jacket by ourselves, mother, you also make one. ”
As Lian Man'er spoke, she asked the shopkeeper to take the lambskin for them to choose.
"Man'er," Lian Zhi'er gently tugged at Lian Man'er's sleeve, "Otherwise, let's buy two more skins, and Gorou and Xiaoqi should also add a pair of sheepskin boots, so that they are not afraid to go to and from school and step on the snow." ”
"Is it Brother Jiaxing wearing that?" Lian Man'er smiled, "It's not enough to buy two more, I think Brother Jiaxing's boots are old, and they should be replaced with new ones...... Send one watch first, and there will be two changes later.
Ask for pink. (To be continued)RQ!!
