Chapter 42 Improving Food

When she arrived in the town, Yu Liniang returned to Buzhuang, and Li Cheng, who had nothing to do, enthusiastically took Qin Zijin to the only grain store in the town, Wu Ji Grain Shop.

Qin Zijin, the son of the owner of this grain store, also knew Wu Kangan, who blocked him on the street with Li Cheng at the beginning, and they could be regarded as not knowing each other.

In Qin Zijin's memory, this place does not produce wheat or rice, and with the problem of transportation, the price of flour and rice can be imagined.

In ordinary homes like Hongtu Village, except for the New Year Festival or greeting special guests, basically no one is willing to spend money on rice and white noodles.

And the condition of their Qin family, even if it is the New Year's Festival, they can't eat it.

Qin Zijin bought a bag of flour and a bag of rice, both of which weighed twenty catties, and spent almost one or two taels of silver.

Thinking that since he had bought flour, Qin Zijin simply gritted his teeth and took out another tael of silver and went to the only pork shop in the town.

Li Cheng and Wu Kangan volunteered to help, and they became her followers, and the two of them each carried a bag of food and followed behind Qin Zijin.

Qin Zijin was lucky, he had just killed a pig in the shop in the morning, and there were many people around the door, the butcher was still chopping meat, and the proprietress was enthusiastically busy weighing meat.

The price of meat was indeed beyond Qin Zijin's expectations, lean meat was actually cheaper than fatty meat, lean meat was only 30 wen a catty, but fat meat was actually 50 wen a catty.

However, after looking at the meat on the board, Qin Zijin understood the reason, this pig was too thin, and there was not much oil and water at all.

Thinking of the living standards of people here, there is a lack of oil and water, and most people will naturally choose fatty meat when buying meat, and it is not surprising that the price is higher.

Qin Zijin wanted to buy meat dumplings, she took a fancy to a piece of fat and thin meat, and the proprietress heard that she bought the fat and lean meat together, so she gave her forty wen a catty.

On the side, Li Cheng was not very satisfied, "Obviously there is not much fat, but it is still forty." ”

Qin Zijin didn't care too much, her eyes kept focusing on the pig's large intestine hanging in the corner, and finally couldn't help asking, "Boss, how do you sell the pig's large intestine?" ”

On the side, Li Cheng interjected again, "What are you buying that for?" It stinks to death. I remember you didn't have cats or dogs at home. ”

Qin Zijin was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to say that he would buy it, but he swallowed it back when the words came to his mouth.

The proprietress naturally heard Li Cheng complain about the high price before, and she probably felt embarrassed, so she responded with a smile, "Girl, you want it, just take it, don't want money." ”

In the end, the pig's large intestine still came to Li Cheng's hands, he covered his nose with one hand and held the pig's large intestine with the other, his face full of disgust.

Wu Kangan, who was carrying two bags of grain, shook off the sweat on his forehead, gasped and said, "Why don't we change it?" ”

Li Chengguo shook his head, compared to carrying food, he was still willing to carry the pig's large intestine, and did not forget to gloat, "You don't want to let you push a cart, you know that it is hard at this time?" ”

The two of them followed behind Qin Zijin with their mouths crossed, but no one picked on them.

Qin Zijin also bought some wine and spices, and then went to Li Cheng's restaurant to borrow a back basket, and put everything into the back basket and carried it.

The two of them sent Qin Zijin to the intersection outside the town, and Qin Zijin waved his hand at the two, "Thank you, you guys go back." ”

Li Cheng was still a little worried, "Your basket is too heavy, do you want us to send it to you?" ”

Qin Zijin waved his hand, "What's the weight of this thing, you two are too weak." ”

Li Cheng looked at the back of Qin Zijin leaving, and said to Wu Kangan on the side with a puzzled expression, "What is a weak chicken?" ”

Wu Kangan replied with a dark face, "That means that you are not even as good as a woman." ”

On this hot day, even if Qin Zijin felt that the basket behind him was not heavy, he still sweated.

Qin Wenshi saw that she was still carrying the back basket when she came back, so he greeted her, and asked while picking up the back basket for her, "What are you carrying?" Why did you come back with a basket? ”

After taking the back basket, he couldn't help but cover his nose, "Ouch, why does it stink so much." ”

Lu Shi took a towel to wipe Qin Zijin's sweat, and couldn't help but cover his nose when he smelled the smell, and said, "Why does it smell like a pig going into the water." ”

Qin Zijin wiped his sweat and answered, "It's a pig in the water." ”

Qin Wenshi looked disgusted, "Ouch, what are you doing when you come back there, it's smelly and fishy, and our family has no livestock." ”

Qin Zijin wiped his sweat and answered while cleaning up the things in the back basket, "Eat it yourself." ”

Qin Wenshi sighed when he heard this, and looked at Qin Zijin's eyes full of distress.

Qin Zijin didn't have time to guess what Qin Wen's brain had made up, so he only took out the same things in the back basket.

Qin Wenshi looked at the things that he took out of the back basket, and he didn't have time to make up for it, so he only exclaimed.

After cleaning up the basket, Qin Wenshi couldn't help but mutter, "You kid, why don't you know how to live at all, how much silver does this cost, in exchange for ordinary food, we can eat for two months." ”

Qin Zijin replied helplessly, "Grandma, don't worry, with those connections, we won't be short of silver in the future." ”

Qin Wen's family still had no choice in the end, he just kept saying that Qin Zijin wanted to be thrifty.

When he saw Qin Zijin pouring white flour white wine and salt into the basin containing the pig's water, he was even more distressed, "What are you doing, ouch, this is white noodles, these salts can be eaten for several days." ”

Qin Zijin was very helpless when he was read, and looked at the Lu family on the side for help.

Lu Shi was also distressed when he looked at Qin Zijin's approach, but in the end, he still relied on Qin Zijin and helped Qin Wenshi to speak, "Didn't Zijin say that he wanted to make cabbage and pork dumplings, let's go, let's go to the field and chop two cabbages." ”

Qin Wen's was dragged to the vegetable field by the Lu family, and only Xiaobao who was standing aside and swallowing saliva was left in the courtyard, which was finally clean.

Qin Zijin estimated that the people here don't eat pig sewer, because they dislike that pig sewer is too smelly, and he probably doesn't know how to deal with pig sewerage.

However, Qin Zijin guessed that even if he knew, he was afraid that he would be willing not to eat it, and I am afraid that no one would be willing to use liquor, salt, flour and other things to clean the pig's water like her.

When Qin Wen's and Lu's came back, Qin Zijin had already cleaned the pig's water, put ginger and garlic and star anise, and waited for it to be boiled.

Lu Shi walked to the side of the pot, sniffed hard, and said in surprise, "It's not so smelly?" ”

Qin Wenshi was still distressed about those white noodles, "Just for this, I tossed so many good things." ”

Lu Shi persuaded in a low voice, "The child hasn't eaten a good meal for a long time, and now that he can make money on his own, you can say a few words, and the child will be happy." ”

Qin Wen's family listened to Lu's persuasion, and after that, the family was still happy to make dumplings with noodles and meat.

Qin Zijin has always remembered the kindness of his grandfather's family, and naturally he will not forget their family if he has delicious food.

There were many people in the grandfather's family, so they chopped five catties of meat in one go, mixed them with cabbage, wrapped dumplings, and were almost busy until evening.

The pig's large intestine has been boiling in the pot, and the fragrance wafts through the yard.
