013 Buy some meat
Niu Yu said this, without the slightest uneasiness on his face, just because this butcher shop was not the first time he had come. Although this town is more prosperous than the village, it is also very limited. There is only one shop selling meat in the whole town, every time the Niu family goes to the town, they have to come to this butcher shop to buy a little meat, Niu Yu has come many times, not to mention that he is familiar with the owner of the butcher shop, but he is also a familiar person.
So whether it is Uncle Niu or Niu Yu, they are very relieved to take a few children at the door of the butcher shop.
Sheng Qingqing just asked casually, but when she listened to this explanation, she didn't think much about it, nodded, and said, "Then let's wait here for a while, it just so happens that I also want to buy some meat." ”
As soon as these words came out, without waiting for Niu Yu to speak, Sheng Zhizhi was puzzled: "Sister, where does our family still have money to buy meat?" ”
Sheng Qingqing's expression moved, and she glanced at Sheng Siming's face before she said with a smile: "I sold ginseng in the pharmacy just now, and I just happened to have money to buy meat." ”
"Ginseng, this is ......@! #! ”
Sheng Siming covered the second sister's mouth, and then nodded seriously: "That's right, it's the one you picked last time." Second sister, don't feel pity, there is no rice and noodles at home, if we don't sell it, we will be hungry. ”
Niu Yu did not doubt that he had him, and when he heard the words, he also persuaded him: "What Siming said is not wrong, although ginseng is precious, there is always a chance to dig it again, and the body is still important." ”
But I didn't dig up any ginseng at all! Sheng Zhizhi wanted to say this very much, but her mouth was covered by Sheng Siming, and she could only whimper. I don't know where Sheng Siming's small body got the strength to cover her mouth.
But Niu Yu thought that their sister and brother were laughing, and did not step forward to stop it.
"Alright, don't mess around on the streets." In the end, Sheng Qingqing spoke, she covered Sheng Zhizhi's mouth with one hand, and with the other hand, she just pulled Sheng Siming, who had lost his strength, and then smiled: "Didn't you say you wanted to eat meat?" Sister will buy it for you today. ”
As soon as he talked about meat, Sheng Zhizhi immediately forgot what he wanted to say just now. She has been coveting meat for a long time, and although she can catch a lot of game on the back mountain, she is small and weak, so she can only follow a group of adults to pick up leaks, and it is extremely difficult to pick up delicious meat, and at most she can catch one or two small animals such as mountain rats, which is already considered extremely lucky.
And the mountain rats are extremely small, one or two of them are divided equally among the three of them, and at most they can fill in the gaps between their teeth.
"Hmmm......! @#¥! Sheng Zhizhi was so excited that she forgot that her mouth was still covered by her eldest sister.
Sheng Qingqing saw her looking at the butcher shop, her eyes were full of excitement, she thought for a moment, and let go of her hand.
"Sister, what kind of meat can we buy!" Sheng Zhizhi didn't have time to breathe, so he asked hurriedly.
Sheng Siming also watched with a blank eye.
Sheng Qingqing opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer. It's the first time she's come to a butcher's shop in this era, and she really doesn't know what kind of meat will be sold in the shop, and whether it's the same name as modern times. For example, pork, modern pigs are genetically improved, and the meat is more tender and delicious, while most of the ancient pigs have not been processed and are very fishy.
At this time, Niu Yu smiled and said: "Your eldest sister sold a ginseng today, I'm afraid she can buy any meat." ”
Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming immediately became excited.
Sheng Qingqing had other ideas. Because she suddenly felt that what Niu Yu said was very reasonable.
Since she doesn't know how these meats are, she can buy them all and take them home to try, on the one hand, she can try out what is the difference between the meat of this era and modern times, and on the other hand, it is also very beneficial to her business plan.
Thinking like this, Sheng Qingqing said: "Yes, my sister has made a lot of money today, and she can afford any meat, so you should think about what kind of meat you like to eat first." ”
This question can make Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming embarrassed.
When they grow so big, they eat the most rat meat, and the most villagers hold a wine banquet and will give them a little pork and more meat, but they have only heard of it, but they have never seen it.
How do you choose this?
As soon as she saw the looks of her younger siblings, Sheng Qingqing understood their thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "Since you can't think of it, let's go and see it first." ”
Niu Yu smiled and watched the three sisters and brothers enter the butcher shop.
The owner of the butcher shop looks honest and honest, and his clothes are very plain, and he wears a torn cotton jacket full of patches in the cold winter weather, covered with a cowhide hanging pocket to cover the front of his body, and on his two wrists is a pair of cowhide sleeves, on which there is also a little minced meat.
He was chopping meat in front of the table, but when he saw Sheng Qingqing coming in, he asked with a smile: "Female doll, buy meat?" ”
Sheng Qingqing nodded, and her eyes turned around the shop.
This shop is more than a little smaller than the spice shop, but the goods in the shop are full. Not only on the desk, but also on the walls, there is a lot of meat. As far as Sheng Qingqing could see, there were air-dried hams and some fresh meat, and there was a huge pig's head, which was hanging on the wall a few steps away from the door.
'Hang the pig's head in the doorway, what does this boss think?' Sheng Qingqing was very puzzled in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she only said: "Boss, what fresh meat do you have here today?" ”
"It's all fresh, not long after it was slaughtered." The boss still smiled, and said: "By the way, a cow died two days ago, and the little girl came by chance, I just have one leg left here, but do you want it?" ”
Sheng Qingqing looked at the leg, and sure enough, it was a cow's, which was very cherished, but she didn't plan to buy a cow's leg.
Although this does not exist in history, Sheng Qingqing identified it, and some places are still similar to the history she knows. For example, in ancient times, science and technology were backward, and in addition to manpower, it was necessary to rely on buffaloes, so there were rules that did not allow the slaughter of cultivated cattle at will. If you want to eat beef, in addition to importing it from abroad, you need to wait until the ploughing cow dies of old age, adhering to the principle of not wasting it, before you can slaughter and eat it.
Cattle imported from foreign countries are naturally not eaten by ordinary people. And when the cattle die of old age, the time is too long, so this beef is priceless and very precious.
If you have a lot of money to buy that beef leg, you might as well buy a few catties of other meat.
Seeing that Sheng Qingqing was slow to speak, the owner of the butcher shop also knew in his heart that he was not going to buy it. As for whether he couldn't afford it or didn't want it, the butcher shop owner didn't pursue it much, he changed his tone and said: "But beef can only be tasted, and it is better to have a full stomach or pork." ”
He pointed and said, "I just caught it on the mountain yesterday, someone took out a litter of wild boars, and just caught a few piglets, the meat is tender and delicious, and the price is not expensive, can the girl ask for it?" ”
