In the end, Anxia's bed was still supported in the fire room, saying that it was a fire room, but in fact it was also a complete house, seventeen or eighteen square meters in size, next to the door was a vegetable sink and cupboard, there was a stove and a range hood by the window, a dining table was placed in the middle, and Anxia's bed was propped up in the open space on the side.

"Xia Xia, Jiaojiao has been spoiled by us since she was a child, don't blame her, this child has a bad temper, but she doesn't have a bad heart, it's just that you just came, she can't accept it, and her words are a little aimed at you.

After a few days, you two will get acquainted, and then I will buy a new bed and put it in her room, so that you can live together. ”

"No, Auntie, I really don't need to, it's good here, it's much better than my house in the countryside, the walls are so white, I can live here, it's like a dream."

Xu Meifeng sneered in her heart and scolded the hillbilly, thinking that you will know if you live in this night and cook, after a meal is cooked, the fire room is simply untreatable.

"Okay, then you rest, I'll go buy some food, and I'll make you a delicious meal in the evening."

Xu Meifeng went to buy groceries, An Xia stood up suddenly, she couldn't miss the opportunity to please her, she needed to contact Xu Meifeng more now, gain her favor, and see if she could ask something.

"Auntie, I'll accompany you, I have the strength to help you carry the food."

Xu Meifeng raised her eyebrows, nodded and took An Xia to the vegetable market together.

The vegetable market of the lumber mill is not small, one or two long vegetable fields meet in the middle, the left and right sides are the façade, and three meters in front of the door are all kinds of stalls, after all, there are thousands of people eating, this time it is already past noon, the iron shed is like boiling water, the air is boiling.

The small traders are almost selling things, dozing off by the stalls, Xu Meifeng is pinching the money, thinking about what to buy, can't be stingy, otherwise her husband will definitely feel that he is not good to Anxia, but she can't be too generous, she can't be angry at the thought of spending money on this wild seed.

"Xia Xia, what do you want to eat?"

An Xia saw Xu Meifeng shopping all over the market, so she bought two or three handfuls of side dishes, and didn't buy any meat, how could she not understand her thoughts, "Auntie, these are fine." ”

"Then what's the matter, on the first day you came, eat some side dishes, your uncle came back to talk about me, look at these meats and fish, do you want to eat them."

"Then, why don't you buy a few eggs, scrambled eggs with chili peppers are very good, meat is too expensive, these are only willing to be eaten at home during the New Year."

"Why don't you buy some braised beef and stir-fry it with chili."

As soon as An Xia asked the price, she shook her head again and again, "Auntie, this is too expensive, a pound of braised beef can buy three or four catties of pork." ”

Xu Meifeng couldn't help but reveal a sense of superiority, and glanced at An Xia with a little disdain, hillbilly, I really haven't seen the world, of course braised beef is expensive, the best fresh beef is only five or six pieces, and braised beef has no moisture, so it is naturally not cheap.

"Why don't you buy a silver carp?"

"Silver carp, the spines are thick and the meat is not good for taste."

As soon as Xu Meifeng finished speaking, she remembered that her husband didn't like to eat silver carp the most, and she had an idea in her heart, "It's okay, this silver carp looks very fresh today." ”

"Auntie, buy a piece of pork belly."

Xu Meifeng was a little unhappy, it cost five yuan to buy a fish, Lin Rongwei was less than two hundred yuan a month, Jiaojiao was still in high school, and the family's expenses were quite tight, and it would cost seven or eight yuan to buy another piece of meat, and the vegetable money would cost more than a dozen yuan one day, how could there be such a life.

Seeing Xu Meifeng's face sank, An Xia explained softly: "Auntie, it's me who is greedy, the pork belly is made into braised pork, and the broth left over after eating the meat can also be stewed with potatoes, and the soft potatoes with dried chili peppers and broth are fragrant and spicy and delicious." ”

"Sister-in-law, the meat in the afternoon, it's cheaper for you, the child wants to eat it, buy a piece."

Xu Meifeng couldn't wipe off her face, especially when she heard An Xia say this, she was also a little greedy, "Okay, cut a piece for me, just two or three catties, don't do more." ”

"Okay, don't worry." The meat seller picked up the knife and was about to put it down.

"Wait, cut this piece of meat, just this piece, that's all, don't cut the rest to me, don't cut it to me."

An Xia pointed to the half fan of meat next to him and gestured to the side layer, "Usually the pork belly is best with three fat and two lean, the fat and thin layers are alternate, the taste is oily and chewy, and it is very good to make braised pork."

But in fact, this is the best pork belly, this piece of meat is close to the middle of the abdominal wall on both sides, from the inside to the outside is the internal oblique muscle, fat external oblique muscle and subcutaneous fat layer, this is called two red, two white and one beer, but there are not many of this kind of meat, I don't know why I can still encounter such a good pork belly in the afternoon. ”

After listening to An Xia's introduction, the boss who sold the meat couldn't help but be impressed, "Little girl, you are so amazing, this is the meat ordered by others, who knows and doesn't want it, I just hung it out and sold it not long ago."

The piece you said is the best place to make pork belly, if I hadn't been reluctant to eat it myself, I would have cut it home and eaten it myself, and now you have caught up. ”

"Boss, it's so much, don't cut more in other places, these meats are only two and a half catties."

The boss cut off a scale, two and a half pounds accurately, and then the boss admired the five bodies and threw himself to the ground, "You little girl, why are you so powerful, you know how heavy you know at a glance, and the best meat has been cut away for you." ”

"Cheaper boss, on such a hot day, the meat is put in the afternoon, and if you can't sell it after a while, you will have to rub the salt, and no matter how good the meat is overnight, you will be cheaper."

After Anxia bargained with the boss, she bought two and a half catties of the best pork belly for six yuan, which was more than one pound and two yuan, which was more than one piece cheaper than Xu Meifeng's usual meat, Xu Meifeng was surprised to see Anxia skillfully bargaining with the vegetable seller, and suddenly had an illusion that Anxia seemed to be more familiar with this vegetable market than her.

Seeing Xu Meifeng's surprised appearance, An Xia reacted, she was exposed, and when she arrived at the vegetable market, she was familiar with it as if she had been in her previous life.

"Auntie, every time I go to the countryside for the Chinese New Year, I kill pigs, I have seen a lot since I was a child, and I know where to eat."

"Oh." Xu Meifeng nodded and asked, "Do you know how to cook?" ”

"Well, why don't I cook at night, Auntie, what do you want to eat, just tell me."

Xu Meifeng didn't dare to answer this time, she didn't believe that a rural girl would do anything delicious, rural people were reluctant to put cooking oil, everything was boiled in a pot of water, just put a little salt when cooked, it was like pig food, don't spoil these foods.

Xu Meifeng went to the commissary to buy a bag of monosodium glutamate, a few cans of beer, a pound of thick, full of all carried by Anxia, on the way back, I met the kindergarten door selling bottled yogurt after school, Xu Meifeng pretended to say: "Jiaojiao has loved to drink yogurt since she was a child, you can also try it if you buy two." ”

At the entrance of the familiar kindergarten, a blue rectangular plastic basket is placed in white glass bottles, on which is yogurt with white paper tied with a rubber band, which is also one of Anxia's favorite foods.
