Chapter 57: Buying Meat

Aunt Liu hurriedly walked towards the blacksmith shop, and turned around to urge Aunt Fu and Ye Qing.

"We hurried to the butcher shop, these days every household is busy grabbing the harvest, are tired enough, so every time the market is sold quickly, we can't buy good fat meat when we go late, and it's okay for us to go to the grain and oil shop and cloth shop later."

"Hmm." Aunt Fu nodded in agreement.

Although Ye Qing was not in a hurry to grab the fat meat, he also nodded and hurriedly followed.

There are just too many people on the streets, and it's too crowded.

After the three of them squeezed all the way to the place where the meat was sold, they visited several butcher shops one after another, and found that the best fat meat and lard were all sold, leaving only some pork belly, ribs, and pig's head and pig water.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Fu still spent a lot of effort to grab two pieces of fatter pork belly from the crowded crowd of meat buyers.

Ye Qing has thirty catties of rapeseed oil in the space, as well as a stainless steel basin of fresh lard, she doesn't regret that she didn't buy fat meat today.

"Boss, how do you sell this pork belly?" Ye Qing pointed to the half-fat and half-thin pork belly and asked the boss.

"This skinny pork belly is at least twenty-two pounds, how many pounds do you want to buy, little lady?" The boss replied in a loud voice.

Ye Qing turned his head sideways and asked Aunt Liu and Aunt Fu, is this price fair?

The two nodded.

Ye Qing looked at the boss again: "It's enough for the troublesome boss to give me two catties." ”

The boss cut off the meat neatly and put it on the scale, no more, no less, just two catties: "Little lady, a total of forty-four Wen." ”

Ye Qing nodded, took out the rag handkerchief wrapped in copper coins, counted the money and was just about to give it to the boss, when Yu Guang saw the bamboo basket on the ground, the stick bones that had been cleanly removed, and suddenly thought of Gu Nanshan's injured leg.

"Boss, how do you sell these bones?"

After the boss heard this, a pair of small eyes on the fat Dudu's face immediately lit up: "Little lady, if you want to buy it, I will sell it to you for two pennies." ”

These meatless bones are usually not sold, and they are all free for those regular customers who buy meat to take back and feed to the dogs.

After all.

There was no flesh on the bones.

Although the people who live in the town do not have to work in the fields, and some have time to guard the stove and stew bones, the people in the town have to spend money to buy firewood for cooking.

Although the peasants in the countryside don't need money for firewood, they are so busy in the fields that their feet don't touch the ground, they are bitter and tired, and they lack oil and water in their stomachs, and they only love big fat meat that can satisfy their cravings.

Therefore, this bone is even more disgusting and difficult to sell than a pig in the water.

Businessmen are very important to small money, can earn more than a penny is a penny, today I finally met a little lady who wants to buy bones, where is willing to let go.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Fu hurriedly pulled Ye Qing's sleeves.

"Girl, there is no meat on this bone, it is a waste of firewood and time, it is better to buy meat to eat."

"Yes, it's better to buy a meatless bone than to buy an egg for a penny."

Ye Qing saw that the boss was a little worried that she would not buy it.

Pretended to hesitate for a moment, frowned and bargained directly: "Boss, for a penny, I bought all six of your bones." ”

Aunt Liu and Aunt Fu saw that Ye Qing insisted on buying it, and it was difficult to persuade them again.

Although the boss hurts and sells a bone for less than a penny, he thinks that if he doesn't sell it, let alone twelve pennies, he can't even get six cents, so he has to nod his head and agree.

“…… Yes. ”

Ye Qing was very happy in his heart.

To know.

In my previous life, I wanted to buy stick bones, and the stick bones were precious!

After seeing the pork liver, I thought about it, and spent ten cents to buy two catties of pork liver, ready to go back to make stir-fried pork liver to eat, nourish the liver and eyes, replenish iron and blood, and enrich yin and yang.

After buying something.

Ye Qing then went with the two aunts to buy the rest of the things
