Chapter 24: Buying Meat

Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng went out from the back door of Tianxiang Restaurant with excited faces.

As soon as he walked out of the alley, Zhao Qingfeng became excited, "Sister, we have money, and our family can make a lot of money in the future." ”

Zhao Canniang raised her head and looked at Zhao Qingfeng, her little hand was pulled by Zhao Qingfeng, and she was in a good mood.

"Brother, let's talk about this matter first, only the three of us can know, and we have to tell our mother a few more words." Zhao Canniang was worried that the Qin family's filial piety would cause trouble, and sooner or later this konjac matter would be revealed, if the Qin family was persecuted by the Chu family, maybe they would say it.

Zhao Qingfeng was happy about the fifty copper coins he had just earned, you must know that fifty yuan would mean that he would have to chop at least fifty loads of firewood on weekdays.

He didn't know how long Zhao Canniang had been busy last night, but he thought that since it was something that his sister could do, he would definitely be able to do it.

"Sister, we will go back to the taro forest quietly to dig the taro, but I know that there are a few places where the taro is the largest, I will tell my mother a few words about this matter, grandma they are too much, and Dad, we can't let them know that we have money when we die." Zhao Qingfeng said excitedly.

Zhao Canniang smiled, teased and said, "Brother, we only have fifty yuan now, and it will not be too late for you to be happy when we have a lot of money in the future." Zhao Canniang felt that Zhao Qingfeng was too excited.

Zhao Qingfeng smiled stupidly, "Sister, do you want to eat candy man, brother will buy it for you." "If it were Zhao Qingfeng on weekdays, he would definitely be reluctant, a little sugar man would have to pay three dollars, but today! He was so happy.

He felt that after twelve years of life, he felt so excited for the first time, and he was full of hope for life.

When Zhao Canniang heard about the sugar man, although her mouth was also a little greedy, she still held back, "Brother, I'm so old, I'm already past the age of candy man, let's go buy some lamp oil and go back, and I really want to eat meat, let's go buy some fatty meat, buy two catties of flour, go back and wrap chaos!" ”

If Zhao Canniang had been in the past, she would definitely not have taken the initiative to buy fat, but now with her small body and Qin's thin figure, Zhao Canniang knows very well in her heart that this family needs fat in fat.

Zhao Qingfeng hesitated at this time, and said a little seriously, "Sister, although we have money now, we can't spend money indiscriminately, we can buy some lamp oil, chaos is still forgotten." ”

When it came to chaos, Zhao Qingfeng couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and it could be seen that Zhao Qingfeng actually wanted to eat chaos too.

Zhao Canniang thought about it, and finally decided to be extravagant, "Brother, we can eat it if we don't eat it, we only ate meat at noon, but there is nothing, but what about my mother?" My mother hasn't eaten meat for a month or two, and as long as we send konjac to Tianxianglou every day in the future, we can get copper coins every day, and it's not too late to save it then. ”

was said by Zhao Canniang like this, Zhao Qingfeng's heart hesitated, and felt that Zhao Canniang was right, as for the two taels of fat meat for the New Year, if they hadn't eaten a little bit in Tianxianglou at noon today, they really hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

"Alright then, let's go cut two taels of fat." Zhao Qingfeng seemed to have made a big decision.

The two went to the vegetable market again, it was already late, there were not many people in the vegetable market, and most of them were their own things that had not been sold, and they were waiting for business here.

The meat stalls are all fixed stalls, and most of them close late.

Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng chose a boss who looked kinder, and then stopped in front of the stall.

The butcher stall was actually a long table with pork on it.

It's probably because it's a little late, and there's not much left on the stall.

On the long table, there was only a pile of unsold miscellaneous bones, a pair of pork livers and pig intestines that looked a little dry, and the pig's heart and lungs were thrown in a basket on the ground at random.

There was also a palm-sized piece of pork belly on top of the long table.

The boss who watched the stall did not give special treatment because Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng were dressed in tatters, and after seeing that the two really wanted to buy meat, he asked, "Do you want to buy meat?" ”

Zhao Qingfeng and Zhao Canniang both nodded.

"Boss, how do you sell this meat?" Zhao Canniang pointed to the pork belly on the long table, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

The boss smiled slightly and said, "In the morning, it sells for 30 wen a catty, and at this time the stall is about to close, so I will give you a little cheaper, 28 wen a catty, what do you think?" ”

Jiguo's scales are all eight taels, that is to say, there are only eight taels per catty.

Zhao Qingfeng was a little reluctant when he heard that it would cost twenty-eight yuan, even if it was two taels, it would cost almost six yuan, if it was bought into white rice, it would be enough to buy half a catty, enough for the family to eat for a day.

Zhao Canniang thought about the copper money on her body, and she was a little reluctant.

"Boss, I can't buy so much, can I buy three taels?" Zhao Canniang said in a weak voice.

The boss smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said, "Is the little girl only three taels?" ”

Zhao Canniang nodded, thinking that three taels of meat were chopped into meat fillings, which was enough for three people to eat.

The boss is not reluctant, in fact, most of the dealers buy meat in a few taels or taels, after all, it is not easy to make money, and no one is willing to spend more money on meat, and filling in the stomach is the most important.

The boss quickly cut off a piece of meat two fingers wide, and then weighed it.

"The little girl is just three taels, but it's a little flat, I'll count you a little less money and charge you a whole number of eight cents." The boss said that he had already tied up the three taels of meat with zongzi leaves, put it in his hand and gave it to Zhao Canniang.

Zhao Canniang handed the meat to Zhao Qingfeng, then took out the copper coin given by the shopkeeper in Tianxianglou, counted it carefully, and then handed it to the owner of the meat stall.

"Boss, do you sell those bones?" Zhao Canniang actually wanted to ask about the pork liver, but she was reluctant to pay for it, the nutritional value of the pork bones was very high, and Zhao Canniang wanted to buy it and stew it at home.

As soon as the butcher stall owner heard the bone, he stood up, "You asked for two pennies for this bone." "On weekdays, everyone eats tube bones, and there is no meat on these miscellaneous bones, so basically they don't buy them.

Zhao Canniang's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Boss, I bought this bone, brother, you take down the back basket and put this bone in a basin." ”

Zhao Qingfeng didn't understand Zhao Canniang very much, why did he buy this miscellaneous bone.

However, thinking that it was not much money, it was regarded as buying candy for Zhao Canniang, and his heart was suddenly balanced.

After paying, the butcher stall owner put the miscellaneous bones in the wooden basin.
