The two went to the street, Zhao Jin first entered a grocery store, specializing in selling some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and gadgets that took the famous route, all the goods, Liu Bin led the carriage and followed her step by step, she entered the shop, and he was waiting at the door. Zhao Jin stepped into the grocery store, a dazzling array of daily necessities, she first walked around to see what was specific and what she needed, and then asked for ten bags of white noodles, and a few cans of oil, and then weighed a few catties of salt and some spices, star anise cinnamon, etc., and also found some kelp, dried scallops and red dates, wolfberries, lotus seeds, these dry goods. Zhao Jin bought so many things at one time, but the shopkeeper of the grain and oil shop was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes when he squinted, and he was basically a stable buyer who rarely purchased in large quantities, and Zhao Jin did not deliberately lower the price and was a person who knew the goods, which was a bold deal.

The shopkeeper of the grocery store hurriedly instructed the man to properly move the ten bags of white noodles and miscellaneous things that Zhao Jin asked for into Liu Bin's carriage.

Leaving the grocery store, Zhao Jin went to the stalls in the vegetable market for a while, bought some vegetables, Liu Bin accompanied her for more than half an hour, and then the grain, oil, vegetables, wine, firecrackers and other things needed for the banquet were all prepared, and now all the only thing left is to buy meat. The carriage is almost full, but fortunately it is close to home, and you can directly pull it home. In the end, Zhao Jin was ready to go to the meat stall to have a look.

The banquet needs more meat, it is estimated that you have to buy a whole pig, it is enough, and buy more than ten fish, at this time, it is already afternoon, at this time want to buy a whole pig, it is estimated that it will not be, she can only go to the meat stall in advance, first say hello to the flower butcher who sells meat, discuss with him in advance, and leave a pig for her tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Zhao Jin thought about it in his heart, so he said to Liu Bin: "Cousin, you take the carriage home first, and I have to go to the meat stall for a run." ”

"Well, then I'll go back and put my things down first, and if there's anything left, if there's anything left, if you don't find someone to send it back or call me, don't do it yourself." Liu Bin nodded in agreement, and when he left, he didn't forget to remind Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin replied helplessly: "I know, cousin." "This cousin is good at everything, but he is a bit of a mother-in-law.

After Liu Bin led the carriage away, she walked towards the meat stall of the flower butcher. Although there are a few meat sellers in the town, Zhao Jin and the restaurant have always only liked to patronize the butcher's meat stall. The flower butcher is honest, kind, honest, and never sells meat, and sometimes sends some pigs into the water. Zhao Jin approached the butcher's meat stall, and as she expected, she saw that there were no more pieces of meat on his stall, not even a few pig bones left. "Master Hua, business is okay today," Zhao Jin walked in front of the flower butcher in a few steps and said to him with a smile.

Zhao Jin is a frequent customer, and he especially likes to buy pork ribs that others don't look at, and the pig goes into the water or something, which brings him a lot of business, so the flower butcher remembered her early on. Seeing Zhao Jin walking towards the meat stall, the flower butcher immediately put down the pig-killing knife in his hand. He raised his chin, smiled at Zhao Jin honestly, and then asked: "Miss Zhao, do you want to cut the meat today, or do you want to weigh the bones, it just so happens that I still have a few catties of pork ribs in this stall, and some pigs are in the water." ”

"Master Hua, I not only want to buy some pork ribs and pigs to go into the water today, but I also want to discuss something with you, I hope you can do me a favor," Zhao Jin said to him with a sincere face, and the flower butcher stared at Zhao Jin's face with some puzzlement. He said in his heart: This is really strange, this Miss Zhao is the famous chef of the Eight Immortals Restaurant, he is a meat seller, what can he discuss with him except pork.

The flower butcher was very puzzled, waved his hand at Zhao Jin, and said: "Miss Zhao, don't joke with me, I'm stupid, what to discuss or not, if you have anything, just tell me directly, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." Zhao Jin saw that he had a straightforward personality and spoke directly, so he didn't beat around the bush and said to him: "Master Hua, in fact, this is the case, my family has just moved to a new house, moved to this town, June 20 is going to hold a housewarming banquet, because the banquet requires a lot of pork, I want to buy a whole pig from Master Hua, so I came over today to ask about it." ”

"Hey, I think it's a big deal, it's a big event," Zhao Jin said something, and the flower butcher smiled at her honestly. "Miss Zhao, don't worry, if you want to buy a whole pig, I'll keep it for you. This gives me business, can I still push it out? I'll definitely send it to you, and you won't drop the chain. After speaking, he patted his strong chest muscles, and the sound made the new women of the twenty-first century a little embarrassed.

"Then where do you need me to send it, you can give me an address." The flower butcher asked again. "Then thank you Master Hua in advance, and it will be done on June 19 to send the pork to No. 51 Chang'an Street, south of the city." Zhao Jin said. After talking about the business with the flower butcher, Zhao Jin was ready to pay him some deposit first, but the flower butcher said anything, she was a regular customer, he could trust it, and insisted on refusing to ask for any deposit. Zhao Jin still insisted on leaving his stall and left. Zhao Jin ordered the meat and then went to the place where the fish was sold to take a look, the fish must be bought fresh, in order to make it delicious enough, the freshest fish was at the dock, she wandered all the way to the dock leisurely, and there was a street along the river along the dock that sold some aquatic products. Zhao Jin looked at the end of the street from the street, the dazzling array of aquatic products made her heart itch, she sketched a series of delicacies in her heart, and finally reluctantly retracted her gaze to remember what to do. In the end, she chose a stall for a middle-aged woman dressed neatly and asked, "Auntie, how do you sell this fish?" The woman looked at her with sincere eyes and said, "Twenty wen a catty, how much do you want, girl?" Zhao Jin replied: "Auntie, I won't buy anything today, but I want to book ten fish and four catties of fish on June 19, is this enough?" "The eldest lady was excited when she heard that, such a large order, if you win enough income for a few months. "Yes, yes," she said. Zhao Jin said: "That troublesome lady was sent to No. 51 Chang'an Street in the south of the city on June 19. After speaking, Zhao Jin also paid part of the deposit.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. June 20 is indeed an auspicious day for the zodiac. Early in the morning, there was a deep joy in the house. Zhao Jin had already instructed that he should put on brand new clothes today, the whole house is a new house, a new person, a new atmosphere, and the house is full of joy. However, Zhao Jin still chose a new clothes that are good for work today, and she still wants to be the chef today. After changing her dress and combing her hair, Zhao Jin walked towards the courtyard. The pillar also got up early in the morning, and the sister and brother were both diligent, and cleaned the house in the morning. The shopkeeper was also really kind, and he sent a few guys over early in the morning to help Zhao Jin, afraid that Zhao Jin would not be able to do it alone, so Zhao Jin asked one of the guys to go to Liujia Village to pick up the people from his grandfather's family in a carriage.

There were people in the yard who were busy helping to move tables and chairs, and seeing this, Zhao Jin walked in the direction of the kitchen. The guests were coming in a few hours, and she had to go to the kitchen to get ready in advance so that she wouldn't panic. Zhao Jin walked into the kitchen, at this time, he saw that Liu was already busy, the guy in the restaurant was guarding the stove to light the fire, Liu was kneading buns on the stove, the dough was kneaded and fermented last night, and it was steamed in the pot this morning. Zhao Jin walked towards the stove and saw that Liu was still wearing the old coarse cloth clothes of the past, so he asked directly: "Mother, today is a festive day for our family, why are you still wearing these old clothes, today is a new atmosphere." Hearing Zhao Jin's question, Liu replied while doing things: "Siya, my mother still has to do things now, put on the new clothes, if they are dirty, they can't be washed off, isn't it a pity, wait for the guests to come later, and the mother will change them again." The set of clothes that Zhao Jin bought for her is expensive and dirty, and Liu can keep it like a baby, and if it is not a New Year's holiday, I am afraid that she is reluctant to wear it on a festive day. When she was busy at the moment, it was inconvenient for Zhao Jin to say anything to Liu, so she had to let her.

The mother and daughter said a few words, Zhao Jin said a few more words to the guy who was burning the fire, and then rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help with the work, took the vegetable frame, squatted on the side with the pillar to pick vegetables and wash vegetables. When a few people were busy, they suddenly heard a few laughs outside the door, and then they saw a mother and daughter walking in together. The two crossed the threshold and walked into the kitchen. I could only hear the hearty voice of one of them: "Sister-in-law, Siya, your family is holding a banquet, Sister Xi and I are so happy and ruthless, I can't sit still for a moment, so I rushed over early this morning." A few people looked up, and Liu quickly wiped his hands: "Oh, sister-in-law." You can be regarded as coming, we have always been thinking about you, this is Sister Xi, the eighteenth change of the female university, the beautiful ones are almost unrecognizable, Siya Zhuzi come to meet your aunt and cousin. ”

After Liu finished speaking, Yang also took over with a smile and said: "Oh, Siya and the pillar are so big, I don't dare to call people when I meet them outside, the children grow up fast." I got up early this morning, and Sister Xi pulled me and shouted that I wanted to come and see my sister-in-law's new house. This girl is spoiled by me, she is still a child when she is so old, when will she be as capable as Siya. After Yang finished smiling, he looked at Zhao Jin with satisfaction, nodded his head, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, Sister Xi'er's face next to him was red and wanted to hide herself, she stomped her feet lightly, and said shyly: "Mother, why are you in front of your sister-in-law and cousins and cousins, revealing your daughter's shortcomings, obviously I haven't seen them for a long time and I miss them very much." After saying that, I saw her pouting a mouth. "Ouch, you little girl, now you know that you are shy, but you are noisy at home, you have to come to your sister-in-law's house to take a look," Yang ignored Sister Xi'er's shyness and continued to laugh. I saw that Sister Xi'er's faces on both sides were as red as blood.

"Mother, why are you still talking."

At this time, Liu also joined the ridicule team, and she said to Sister Xi'er: "Ouch, our Sister Xi has grown into a big girl, and she also knows how to be shy." "Sister-in-law, even you make fun of me," Sister Xi hung her head in shame. Zhao Jin saw his cousin's shy answer, so he looked at Yang and said, "Auntie, have they arrived?" Liu also pricked up his ears and waited for Yang's answer, he hadn't seen his father and mother for a long time, and he was a little nervous, Yang saw Liu's nervous appearance, and hurriedly grabbed her hand to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, the carriage behind Daddy, they are old, and the carriage is slower." It's hard for you for so many years, don't worry, your father and mother are constantly nagging about you. ”

"I understand, sister-in-law." Liu's eyes were a little red, but he still calmed down, "Oh, look at me, I'm so busy that I forgot everything, let's go to the hall to sit and have a cup of tea first." ”
