CHAPTER XXXV

Just as they were about to go back, Liu Jixiang looked not far away and said meaningfully: "We are not in a hurry to go back, we have to go buy something......

"What's that?" Liu Ruyi was a little confused.

Liu Jixiang smiled, did not speak, but took Liu Ruyi to the west market, bought some cheap radishes and cabbage, and bought some spices, of course, the highlight came, standing in front of the meat stall, looking at the thick and full pork, Liu Jixiang couldn't help but think of braised pork, braised pig's trotters, fried meat, potato roast meat......

I can't think about it, I can't think about it, and if I think about it anymore, my saliva is about to flow.

"How do you sell this meat?" Liu Jixiang pointed to the fat and pork and said.

"Ten cents for fat meat, seven cents for lean meat!"

The price is not expensive, but Liu Jixiang is still ready to bargain, after all, saving is a virtue.

"Ouch, this lean meat is firewood and thin, there is no oil and water at all, it's too expensive, so let's do it for ten cents and two catties, if you agree to sell it, then I'll buy more!"

When Liu Ruyi heard this, he hurriedly pulled the corner of Liu Jixiang's clothes, "Sister, lean meat is not delicious, and there is no oil and water, let's buy fatty meat, fatty meat is delicious!" ”

Liu Jixiang nodded Liu Ruyi's forehead, although this fat meat is delicious, but it doesn't look at whether the two of them are suitable, they haven't been stained with oil and water for several years, if they eat fat meat today, their stomachs will definitely be a thousand miles away.

The butcher's eyes flickered, "Then how many catties do you want to buy?" ”

It seems that there is a play, if in modern times, this pollution-free lean meat must be very popular, but in ancient times it was not so popular, ancient people were doing manual work, naturally hoping to have a little more oil and water in the stomach, so fat meat is particularly popular.

On the one hand, the reason why Liu Jixiang buys lean meat is to eat it herself, and on the other hand, she wants to marinate it and make it into jerky, which is easy to store in case of emergency.

"Let's have twenty pounds first!" Liu Jixiang said gesturely.

The butcher's eyes lit up, this is a big business, "Okay, then you have to take care of my business in the future!" ”

Liu Jixiang nodded, pointed to the bones in the corner and said, "No matter how I say it, I'm also a big customer, you give me that pile of bones!" ”

"That's not good, I've already lost money by selling your lean meat, and if I take a few more bones, then I'll lose even more!" The butcher hurriedly shook his head.

"There's not much meat on this bone, it's useless for you to keep it, it's better to be a partner for me, I promise to buy meat only at your house in the future!"

Although there is no meat in the big bones, they must be very delicious when used to stew soup, and a little white radish and a little fresh vegetables in it, my God, it makes people drool just thinking about it.

The butcher shook his head, "It's true that the bones are worthless, but I can keep them and eat them myself, if you really want them, you can pay a penny, otherwise you will be free!" ”

It's not expensive if it's a penny......

Liu Jixiang thought about it again and again, but still agreed, after all, Liu Ruyi is growing taller, drink more bone broth, maybe he can make up more calcium and grow taller.

Liu Ruyi pouted, "Sister, I can't figure it out, this big bone has no meat, why do you want to buy it?" ”

"You can stew soup and drink it!" Liu Jixiang was squatting on the ground picking out the big bones, but when she saw the things at the bottom of the frame, her eyes lit up, "This...... This ......"

When the butcher heard the movement, he looked over and said with some disgust: "That's pig offal, if you want it, give me three pennies!" ”

"Don't you want to coax us when my sister and brother are young!" Liu Ruyi was unhappy, "Everyone knows that pig bones are not valuable, especially this pig offal, which is fishy and smelly, and no one else will want it if you give it away for nothing, you still sell our three dollars, why don't you rob it!" ”

"How do you talk, you kid!" The butcher was not happy, "Although this big bone and pig offal are not valuable, they are meat anyway, if you don't want to buy them, you can not buy them, and I didn't force you to buy them!" ”

Liu Jixiang stood up and said in a round game: "Okay, okay, there's no need to quarrel here for this little thing, I want all this pig bones and pig offal, this is money, you can take it!" ”

The butcher nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, doing business is originally a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer, and I didn't force you to buy it, why do you talk so ugly, making me look like a profiteer!" ”

Liu Jixiang smiled perfunctorily, and after paying the money, he took the things and couldn't wait to take Liu Ruyi's hand and walk out of the city, saying as he walked: "You can't be so impulsive next time, it's also that butcher who has a good temperament, otherwise we will both be unlucky!" ”

Liu Ruyi lowered his head, looking a little disgusted, "Sister, why are you still talking to that butcher, pig offal and pig bones are not worth much, don't give them away for nothing, he still sells us, this person is obviously a profiteer......"

Liu Jixiang touched his head, "That's because I want to buy it, so I can't complain about others, you don't have to complain, although this thing is not valuable, but it depends on who touches the hands of people who is worthless, if it is in other people's hands, it must be dirty and ugly and no one wants, but in my hands, it will become a table of deliciousness!" ”

"I don't believe it, this pig's internal organs smell very bad, even if it is washed and made into vegetables, there is an unpleasant smell, and it can't be covered at all!" Liu Ruyi continued: "I think when my father was still there, I once thought about making pig offal into vegetables, but I failed, how could my sister do it......"

Liu Jixiang said with a smile: "That's because they don't handle it cleanly, as long as the pig offal is cleaned, there will be no peculiar smell, and then put cooking wine and ingredients to ensure that the pig offal is very fragrant, and it is better than pork!" ”

Although Liu Ruyi didn't believe it, she didn't refute her sister, and on the way back, she kept saying that it was not easy to make money, and she must be thrifty......

Liu Jixiang knows that this child is distressed about money, the main reason is that this child has suffered too much and realized that it is not easy to make money, but children, making money is to be used to spend, if you only know how to make money and don't know how to spend, then what is the meaning of your life? I only know how to save money all my life, so what's the difference between that and Grande?

When I got home, it was already afternoon, there was no one in the kitchen, and Li's room was closed, and a little movement came from inside from time to time.

Liu Jixiang naturally knew that they were at home, and he didn't want to pay attention to them, so after chopping the pig bones into pieces with a machete, blanching them with boiling water, skimming off the foam, adding ginger and red dates, and putting them in a clay pot and simmering over low heat.
