Chapter 70: The Forest Is Big, and There Are All Kinds of Birds!
Seeing the sister and brother getting along happily, Shui Daquan felt very comforted. He was originally worried that Shui Yun was his and Wu Chunhua's child after all, and the-stirring stick had always been very mean to Shui Yao, and that bad attitude could be called abuse~ treatment.
But he didn't expect that Shui Yao didn't treat Shui Yun harshly because of this, and did his best to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and all aspects were even more thoughtful than his father, which really moved him very much. However, seeing that his daughter wants to buy meat again, Shui Daquan is worried.
"Yaoyao, it's not easy to buy this pork now, if you want to have a good meal, it is estimated that you will have to add a lot of money, it's not that my father is slamming the door, but the current situation of our family, I'm afraid it will ......"
Shui Yao saw that his father was worried about the hospitalization fee again, and his head patted, and then he remembered that he forgot to report this matter to Shui Daquan.
"Dad, don't worry, it's better to ask for others than for yourself. Since there is no news from your unit, then let's not count on them, anyway, I still have some savings, and I will pay you the money next time, the hospitalization fee, little case! ”
Speaking of this, Shui Yao snapped his fingers proudly.
But it doesn't matter what happens, but the father and son of the big dog are in a circle: "What...... What's small? What does that mean? ”
As soon as Shui Yao finished speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth, and he couldn't wait to scold himself to the bottom, only to blame her for being too carried away just now, and she didn't have a door on her mouth, if they didn't hear it, it didn't matter, but now that she said it so casually, she was captured by the two of them sensitively~.
The words he said were like water spilled out, and he couldn't take it back at all, and Shui Yao had no choice but to stick out his tongue in embarrassment and explain hard.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, it's just trivial, no problem, hehe......"
Speaking of this, Shui Yao paused and forcibly pulled the topic back: "Anyway, to get back to the point, the rest of the medical expenses are on me, so you don't have to think about it anymore, stay in the hospital, and take care of your body is better than anything else!"
……
After returning home, the sister and brother ate something briefly, and Shui Yao arranged for the younger brother to rest, and then began to prepare the bamboo shoots and fish they had dug up a few days ago. Because the fish is kept in the water all the time, it is still alive until now, and it can be sold for a good price the next day.
Thinking of the next day's transaction, although he was going to the black market, Shui Yao felt that since Shui Daquan was about to be discharged from the hospital, from now on, every time he entered the city was a precious opportunity, and he couldn't waste it no matter what.
Anyway, the family hasn't improved their food for a long time, thinking of this, Shui Yao decided to go to the butcher shop to have a look and try his luck before trading.
However, considering that pork is now priceless and unmarketable, even if you have money and meat tickets in your hand, you may not be able to buy it. And although Shui Yao got up early in the morning last time and drove the earliest donkey cart to the county seat, he only got two pieces of fat when he queued up at the end.
If it weren't for the fact that he was in the potato chips business at the time, he could just use lard, otherwise, even if he gave her the white oil cubes, Shui Yao wouldn't be able to eat a bite.
But for Shui Yao, an authentic carnivore, if there is no meat for a few days, then this day will definitely be much less delicious. So no matter what, even if he has to grind through the soles of his feet this time, Shui Yao is determined to buy pork and eat a few good meals!
Before dawn the next day, Shui Yao got up, quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, and after heating the rice in the pot, he took two mouthfuls and carried the back basket, loaded the money ticket, and went out lightly.
Because it was just in time for the weekend, Shui Yao got up early in the morning with peace of mind. After all, every Saturday and Sunday, my younger brother Shui Yun must sleep until the sun is exposed to farts ~ shares. Calculate the time, if the business ends early, maybe you can come back before lunch and have a good meal.
However, it is still early in the month, and every morning and evening is the coldest time of the day, although Shui Yao added a coat to herself when she went out and wrapped a turban on her head, a gust of wind still made her shiver.
In addition, in order to buy pork, it was too early to go out, and it was estimated that the uncle who pulled the donkey cart hadn't even gotten up at this point, and Shui Yao could only speed up his pace, and he couldn't stop giving himself courage.
Although there are not many people along the way, there are often some wild beasts that infest. Following the memory of the original owner, Shui Yao remembered that when she was a child, her father Shui Daquan also worked with Orion to catch wild boars, although in the end Shui Daquan only got half a pig, but the original owner ate a mouth full of oil that day, which still made Shui Yao can't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Because of the lure of pork ~ lure, Shui Yao's pace today is extremely fast, almost trotting all the way over, so that in the past, it took half an hour to take a donkey cart, but today it took more than 20 minutes to arrive.
The old people who Shui Yao has always remembered once said: "Get up early with three lights, get up late and panic." Seeing that there were only two or three people standing in front of the pork shop, Shui Yao gasped and wiped the beads of sweat that kept dripping, and then he was relieved.
As Shui Yao expected, pork is a rare commodity, and money may not be able to buy it. Although the shop was open today, the boss only took out half a pig, which made many people queuing behind them shake their heads regretfully and leave helplessly.
"Boss, get me two catties of fat belly, and go back at noon to make braised pork for my son!"
The fat woman who is in the first place, because she is the first buyer, can pick the meat on this half of the pig at will, so the words are full of pride and confidence.
"Shhh...... This person is not simple, look at the flesh of her body, you know that the conditions at home must be good! Did you hear that? I actually asked for two catties of pork belly at a time, and now the family is blessed! ”
"That's true, but if you see this woman buys all the good meat, then what can we buy? Look at the fact that there are so many people in front, maybe there will be no drama today! In the end, I can't even buy a block of oil......"
The fat woman didn't hear the discussion in the crowd, but her eyes flashed, and she took out a big unity and slapped it on the butcher's hand, and the other party was immediately happy to see her teeth and eyes.
However, Shui Yao disagreed, remembering that when he went out today, he had already put all the remaining twenty yuan at home on his body. In addition, there were a lot of meat tickets given by Shui Daquan before, and I didn't panic when I had a ticket in my hand, so no matter what I said this time, Shui Yao was sure that he would definitely be able to buy meat!
Sure enough, after the fat woman left, the people in the back didn't buy as much as the woman, one by one either cut one or two or two, none of them could exceed half a catty, and almost none of them asked for too much lean meat, which made Shui Yao very satisfied.
After all, if anyone can have spare money now, almost all of them will go to buy food, after all, eating a meal of fine grain is much more satisfying than two mouthfuls of meat! Besides, even if you buy meat, fatty meat is more popular than lean meat in this era. Put it in the pot and fry it, the fragrance can make people drool for three catties!
This time, because I went out early, it didn't take long for Shui Yao's turn to come. Lowering his head and looking at the board where the meat was placed, Shui Yao was happy all of a sudden.
I saw that although there was not much pork belly on it, there were still a lot of ribs, and the two white and tender big pig's trotters made Shui Yao look at it, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva fiercely.
"Comrade, get me three catties of pork ribs, one catty of pork belly, and I want these two pig's trotters to be wrapped!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a gasp in the long line. The butcher who was dozing off with two intense dark circles under his eyes immediately cheered up when he heard Shui Yao's words.
I saw the thin little girl in front of me, stretching out her fingers as thin as incense sticks, and kept pointing at the pork on the board, saying that she wanted this and that, and wanted all the pork left in his stall.
But the little girl doesn't look like a rich child's child from head to toe, and the butcher guesses that Shui Yao must have come out of nowhere, because she can't eat meat and deliberately came here to make trouble.
Thinking about this reason, although the butcher heard that Shui Yao asked for a lot of meat, he was unaware of her words, and his tone was full of disdain and disdain.
"Yo, where are you from? I warn you, don't mess around here, ask for so much meat, do you have a ticket? Rich? No, it's just blowing nonsense here! The police station is around here, believe it or not, I'll take you there right away to get an education? ”
Shui Yao looked at it, not only did this butcher not cut the meat, but he didn't even look at himself, and he also meant to send her to the police station for punishment, and he couldn't help but ridicule this meat seller from top to bottom from the eighteen generations of his ancestors!
But even though the anger in his heart has been ignited, the expression on his face is still indifferent, and he put the money and tickets that have been prepared on the board, and said angrily: "This money should be enough, right?" I see that your pair of sewers here is not bad, otherwise, you can cut me two catties of lean meat, and you will also get me the sewer, so you don't have to look for this money and tickets! ”
After explaining the words, he looked at the shocked face of the butcher in front of him, snorted a few times, and then cut the meat in the same way without saying a word, then wrapped it in yellow paper and handed it to Shui Yao. After this cao, Shui Yao only felt comfortable, and it seemed that even the tiniest pores on his body had opened.
For Shui Yao, although she has seen a lot of strong winds and waves before, and it is not uncommon for dogs to fight with people, but what she didn't expect was that she could still meet this kind of garbage man in such a simple era of folk customs, which really responded to that sentence: The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds!
