Chapter 213: Buying Meat
After buying pork, Yuan Dashuo took Yuan Man around the street selling meat here.
Yuan Man saw that there were stalls selling fish, shrimp and unknown shellfish on the street, and many people gathered in front of the stalls to pick and choose, and bargained.
Yuan Dashuo took Yuan Man to one of the stalls and spent money to buy a six-pound freshwater fish, seven cents per catty, and a total of forty-two cents.
Yuan Man doesn't know the breed of this fish, so it should be the breed here. The appearance is dark and black, the head is round, and the body is also round.
The seller neatly fished out a fish from the large wooden basin and asked, "Do you want to kill it for you?" Or do you take it back and keep it? If you want to go far away, you will die, and if you can't bring it home, you will die, and you won't be able to feed it for a few days if you bring it back! ”
Some people here will buy fish and raise them for two days before eating, greedy for freshness.
The shopkeeper also kindly reminded that Yuan Dashuo considered the distance and finally decided to kill him, so she picked up the knife and knocked it out and then scraped the scales and disemboweled/broke the stomach to remove the internal organs.
When the store was handling the fish, Yuan Dashuo was counting the copper plates, and then handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.
Then Yuan Dashuo carried the fish that had been taken care of, and took Yuan Man to buy some seasonings.
And then there doesn't seem to be anything missing.
But at this time, the sky suddenly changed, the dark clouds gradually approached this side, and the wind became stronger.
Some time ago, the rainy days were not long, and they stopped in the next day or two, which made the first batch of vegetables in the Yuanmanjia vegetable field very smoothly harvested.
Nowadays, the vegetable field is full of the second batch of vegetables, and the latest vegetables are enough for daily consumption.
Seeing that it was going to rain again, Yuan Dashuo beckoned Yuan Man to hurry up and get in the car and prepare to rush back.
The father and daughter hurried back to the village before the rainstorm, when the wind was already strong, and the leaves rustled and the sand and stones hurt to hit people.
The big ox cart had to be placed in the new yard, and there was a cowshed over there, but there was no one in the yard of the Yuan family.
The father and daughter crossed the door and went first.
Yuan Dashuo opened his mouth to let Yuan Man go home first, but Yuan Man wanted to help, of course he refused.
He had no choice but to give up.
The big black cow has rough skin and thick meat, but it is not afraid of sand and stones, and it walks steadily.
After arriving at the new courtyard, Yuan Man squinted to prevent being squinted by the sand, his hair was blown messy by the wind, and he didn't care about his image at the moment, so she quickly jumped off the ox cart to open the courtyard door, and asked her father to drive the big black cow in.
Because of the ox cart, the gate of this new courtyard was opened much wider than the gate of the Yuan family, and the two wooden courtyard doors were also thick and locked.
Yuan Dashuo drove the ox cart and went in very smoothly.
The courtyard was a little empty as it was empty, but a gravel path led to the big cowshed in the corner, and the rest of the place was still loess earth.
The structure of the cowshed is not bad, with a small stone wall below, and the grass on the top of the shed is wide and thick and pressed against the stone slabs, and it does not move at all in the strong wind.
When the big black cow arrived home, he stepped in automatically, and Yuan Man and her father unloaded the cart for him, so that it could also relax, and the cowshed had the forage for it to eat.
Yuan Man added water to it, scooped some clean water from the wooden barrel outside the cowshed, and quietly added spiritual spring water, and then placed it in the trough.
In this way, the big black cow has a roof to protect from the rain, the cowshed is wide, and its activities are okay, and the food and drinking water are sufficient, but the surrounding area is too windy and easy to be carried in by rainwater.
Yuan Dashuo thought about it and beckoned Yuan Man to go home first, and said, "Let's go back first, I'll take those few coats over and cover the outside of the cowshed for it." ”
Yuan Man nodded when he heard this, then patted the big black cow soothingly, looked at its warm eyes and smiled, and said, "The big black has worked hard, rest obediently." ”
Yuan Dashuo couldn't help but smile when he saw the innocent side of the little girl, and then beckoned her to leave.
Yuan Man turned around and left.
The wind was strong and it was getting darker, but it still hadn't rained.
The father and daughter walked all the way back, and came across a few villagers who had come down from the mountain, and they were busy going home to see them.
Yuan Man squinted at the black clouds, and asked against the wind, "Daddy, this weather, big brother, their academy should be out of school early, right?" ”
The wind was too strong, and Yuan Dashuo took off his coat with one hand and put it on top of Yuan Man's head, blocking the wind and sand for her before replying, "Not necessarily." ”
It's just because the academy is naturally humane, but sometimes it depends on the situation.
You can't let the children go home as soon as it rains heavily, you must know that sometimes the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and there are cases where the wind and rain are about to come and the result is that there are not a few drops of rain, so you will not just leave school early.
Yuan Man looked at the dark and oppressive sky and felt that this rain must be not small, she still hoped to get out of school early, but when she got home, she met Yuan Wu and they happened to come back.
Yuan Manke was overjoyed, rushed up and pulled Yuan Xiu and said to them: "I just told Daddy whether you will leave school early, but I didn't expect it to come true!" ”
Yuan Xiu smiled and raised his hand to straighten Yuan Man's messy hair.
Yuan Wu was carrying a small cloth bag containing books, he was scraping off the yellow mud under his feet outside the courtyard, and when he heard Yuan Man's voice, he smiled and said: "Mr. Yu said that this rain is not small, let us come back first, little sister, let me tell you, Mr. He also taught us how to look at the sky today." ”
Yuan Dashuo came in with a few mentions of pork and fish, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Mr. Yu has learned endlessly all his life, he didn't teach me how to know the weather when I was a child, it can be seen how hard he works, you have to learn hard with him." ”
Yuan Wu saw that his most beloved father of course wanted to go over and be slimy, Yuan Dashuo ignored him, he still had to take the coat to deal with the cowshed, Mr. Yu said, then this rain must not be small.
Yuan Xiu saw the things in his hand, so he stepped forward very obediently and took them.
Wen happened to hear the sound and came out quickly, and also hurried over to help take things, this meat is not light, and the embroidery can not be taken all. Yuan Cheng also led Xiao Hei out of the inside.
After a lot of noise, they separated and performed their duties.
Yuan Dashuo led Yuan Wu to the new yard to reinforce the cowshed, and then patrolled the drainage of the vegetable field, so as not to spoil the vegetables after a while.
Yuan Cheng was the youngest, and he was rejected if he wanted to go, so he was only asked to take his books back to the room to study, but Xiao Hei followed the father and son out to let off steam.
Wen took Yuan Xiu and Yuan Man into the kitchen to sort out the meat they brought back.
The pork belly for tomorrow's worship needs to be cut into squares, then boiled in plain water and salted.
The remaining pork ribs were originally going to be boiled in soup, but because Yuan Man wanted to eat various flavors of pork ribs, he could only simply deal with them first, wash the blood and blanch them first, and then add a little salt to marinate them, so that they would not be easy to spoil.
As for the rest of the fat, of course, it is boiled into lard and served in small jars.
Finally, the big mullet was washed, salted, and hung up.
There is no refrigerator here, and the only way to preserve food is to marinate it.
But now it's spring, and the originally stuffy weather will cool down immediately as soon as it rains, just like now, before it rains, the wind is getting colder and colder.
