Chapter 111: Buying Meat
When Lu Guyu heard this prejudiced words, he was not very happy, and he was about to argue with others, but he was stopped by Lu Shuang.
"We want twenty-one pounds of meat, I'm sorry for you, we'll just have this piece." Lu Shuangchuan pointed to the pork back meat with a little fat, and said with a smile.
Lu Shuangchuan was already good-looking, and he spoke politely, who doesn't like to talk to a beautiful little girl these days, although the person blocked Lu Guyu with words just now, but looking at Lu Shuangchuan's gentle appearance, he blushed, and then he waved the butcher's knife to cut the meat.
Lu Guyu was anxious, "Ah Shuang, why did you buy all of this, what if there was no oil on the table when you turned around?" ”
"No, it won't." Lu Shuang replied, "Besides, if we don't buy it now, it's too late next time." There's nowhere else to buy it! Don't worry, I'll take care of the banquet! ”
Lu Shuangchuan was right, and Lu Guyu was speechless for a while.
And twenty-one catties is not a small amount, Lu Shuangchuan asked the butcher to split it into several parts, put them in the back basket of her and Lu Guyu, and then cover it with a cloth, so that it is not exposed, but also sunscreened.
Later, Lu Shuangchuan also saw that there was no meat left on the board, and the rest were bits and pieces of pig water and the big stick bones that had been shaved clean.
She saw that the butcher sat down and smoked indifferently, her eyes rolled, and she laughed, "Big brother, I see that you are going to get off work after selling this, you have a lot of big bones, how can this be sold?" And this pig goes into the water? I'm not afraid of your jokes, we haven't opened meat for a long time. We don't have any tickets in our hands, you also know that we are countrymen, this time we came out to buy meat for a wedding banquet at home, and we rarely get meat and fish, so I want to buy it back and taste it! I wonder if you can sell it to us cheaply? ”
Hearing this, the other party glanced at Lu Shuang, and saw that this little girl's face was smiling, her eyes were shining, and she moved, "This big bone was originally what I wanted to take back to feed the dog." These pigs are not seriously bought by anyone, usually cheap my old neighbors, if you want to, give me a penny or a half! Take all these things back! ”
He could just sit down a little longer and go back from work.
At this time, a pound of meat with a meat ticket is a piece of two, and pork ribs are much cheaper, only nine cents, and when he opened his mouth, this is the money of one and a half pounds of meat!
Lu Guyu's eyes widened, and he was about to refuse, but he heard Lu Shuang respond with a smile.
The butcher quickly wrapped the pig in the water, and tied several large stick bones with straw ropes.
Lu Shuang was all stuffed into the back basket, and then he thanked him gratefully, and then pulled Lu Guyu away.
Lu Guyu was anxious: "Ah Shuang, this pig is not delicious when it goes into the water, why did you buy it?" And those bones, what can you do with them? If you have the money, you might as well buy an extra pot for your family. You're going to get married later, and you have to spend money everywhere, what are you buying all this for? These bones are fed to dogs, just to make soup, there is no meat foam on them, and they are not pig's heads, and they can still drink soup. This bone has to be boiled for an hour or two to cook, and you are wasting too much firewood. ”
Lu Guyu was really distressed.
To buy meat, you must buy delicious large pieces of pork belly, why waste money on eating these, it is better to go home and nibble on cabbage!
Now is the era of scarcity of resources, everyone is eager to spend money on the blade, especially everyone is generally poor, that is simply to break a dime and spend two cents.
As a result, the money that is easy to earn today will be spent on it when she turns around, can she not be in a hurry?
Lu Shuang didn't think so, "This pig has six or seven catties in the water, and you look at the big bones sent here, although there is no meat on it, and it takes time to make soup, but the soup is thick." We didn't buy much meat this time, so we definitely couldn't eat it at home, and we always had to have something for the table. Take these to satisfy your cravings, turn around, and I'll make one for you to taste! ”
In the final analysis, Lu Guyu is just distressed about money and feels that it is not worth it.
But she doesn't think that in later generations, pork will be the price of cabbage, but bits and pieces, but it will be more difficult and expensive to buy.
Lu Guyu couldn't stop her, so he could only take her to buy other things, among which daily necessities such as pots and pans were always needed.
Finally, when the two of them went back, it was a lot of stuff, and they were so tired that they were panting.
When I returned to the village, it was already afternoon, and I had to bump into people in the same village, and I had to say a few words of explanation, but I revealed that the family was going to hold a housewarming banquet.
They are all people from the same village, and they are all curious about when Lu Shuangchuan's family will do it, and the time is determined at this time, and they all spread it by mouth.
As soon as Lu Shuangchuan put the things down, she heard Ma's mother say that Lu Daqing had come to look for her in the morning.
When Lu Shuangchuan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "My uncle? What can he do with me? ”
Don't look at her uncle, who is usually silent, but she is also a person who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and she and Liu Mei are really a match made in heaven.
Ma Mu shook her head, "I don't know. He said that he would wait for you to come back and go to his house to talk after dinner. ”
"Talk?" Lu Shuangchuan raised her eyebrows, probably guessing something, she didn't think so, "I have something serious to say to him." Forget it, don't pay attention to him, uncle, I'll cook tonight, the meat I bought has to be marinated, and some pig is in the water, I'll go get busy first. ”
Ma Mu is also busy to help, these more than 20 catties of meat, must be marinated quickly, turn around and hang on the vent or well, so that it will not be broken.
"Ah Shuang, who will you invite to be the cook at this banquet? This has to be done immediately, and you always have to hire good people quickly, otherwise you will have to rush back. What's more, I have to borrow tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks from someone, and the family helps to bring tea and water to greet people, I see that there are a few of us who are a little less, and I must find two more. "Ma Mu is also a person who has held banquets, so it is also the first thing to say.
Lu Shuangchuan also had a plan, "It's going to take dozens of dollars to hire a chef this year, I thought about it, and I plan to be the chef myself!" Auntie cooking is also good, go back and give me a hand! ”
