Chapter 148: Selling Meat for Money
In the room, Zhou Yiran heard the noise outside, as well as the laughter of Xiao Miaozi, so she got up.
When she came out and saw that Da Niu and Quanzi were cleaning the pig's intestines, she suddenly came to her senses.
"When did you go up the mountain?"
Da Niu heard the voice and looked back, and then replied to her, "Just after you fell asleep." ”
"Oh, you're not hurt!"
Jeonko laughed when he heard this.
He and Da Niu are still quite lucky, marrying a woman who does not care about pork but cares about their safety, which is a great fortune in life.
"No, Xiaoran, go see if the water in the pot is hot, and take this bucket back."
Zhou Yiran nodded, turned around and went back with the bucket.
After a while, she came out with a bucket again, and the bucket contained more than half of the hot water.
"Our water tank is out of water."
Da Niu looked at it, and then he nodded: "Okay, I'll mention it." ”
As he spoke, he washed his hands, and then he walked away with a bucket and an empty bucket from Quanzi's house.
Soon he came back with water.
"Xiaoran, you and your sister-in-law wash these, Quanzi, how much meat do you plan to keep in your family."
"Keep one pig's knuckle, and then two catties of meat." Quanzi plans to stew pig's feet for his daughter-in-law to make up for his daughter-in-law, and keep the pork for Miaozi to make braised pork.
Seeing this, Zhou Yiran said, "Don't stay at our house." ”
"Let's keep a pig's trotter!" Big Bull Road.
Zhou Yiran thought that he should want to eat braised pig's trotters, so he nodded in response.
After the big ox got off his two hind legs, he went to get the carriage out, cut two catties of meat, and then put the rest of the pork on the cart.
"These two catties of meat will be sent to the village chief's house later." Da Niu said to Zhou Yiran.
"Okay." She nodded.
After Da Niu and Quanzi left, the two of them took the pork leg in and put it aside, and then came out to wash the pig's intestines and pig's belly.
Xiao Miaozi was not idle, helping them to work together.
"Sister-in-law, this pork liver is for you, I cut it a little bit, and I will give you the heart."
Chen He saw that she had cut a little bit of pork liver and felt that it was too little, so he hurriedly refused: "This is not good." ”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking, I want this intestine, and half of the pig's belly, so that both of us will be the same." She remembers that Da Niu especially likes to eat intestines and stomach, especially cold pork belly, which Da Niu likes to eat.
As soon as Chen He heard this, she said that she was asking for Da Niu, so he nodded: "Okay, then that's it." ”
In this way, she and Chen He were separated.
It was still early at this time, and after the two took their things to the house, they came out to clean up.
"I'll get this door when I come back, so I'll leave it here first." Chen He saw that Da Niu's daughter-in-law was worried when she looked at the door, so he told her.
"That's fine." No, she has to do it, after all, she doesn't know how to install doors.
At dusk, Da Niu and Quanzi had not returned, and the people who went to the fields in the village gradually returned, and then the village chief and his family also returned.
Zhou Yiran saw that the village chief and the two were back, so he immediately went to the kitchen to take out the meat left by the big cow.
"Xiao Ran is here."
As soon as she arrived at the door, the village chief's wife smiled when she saw her.
She walked in and handed the meat in her hand to the village chief's wife.
"Today, Da Niu and Quanzi hunted a wild boar, this meat is what Da Niu asked me to give you, uncle and aunt, don't refuse."
was about to refuse, but when he heard her last words, Zhang Tian was embarrassed to refuse.
"Okay, Da Niu also has a heart, go back and thank him for me."
Seeing his man say this, Liu Yun reached out and took the meat, and then said, "Sit for a while." ”
"No, I have to go back to cooking, or the big cow will come back hungry." Zhou Yiran smiled and waved her hand.
Liu Yun smiled: "That's okay." ”
When she got home, she started cooking. In the evening, she plans to stir-fry the pork intestines, and then cook the remaining intestines and pork belly with a little salt, and then make a cold pork belly.
The rest can be put aside for a day, so there is no fear of waste.
At dusk, Da Niu and Quanzi came back, and the two of them were noticed by everyone when they entered the village, and they were also envious of these two people.
When they came back in the afternoon, everyone looked at the pig hair outside the door of Quanzi and Da Niu's house and knew that the two of them had gotten wild boars.
A wild boar has to be sold for a lot of money, and everyone is envious, jealous and hateful, but there is nothing that can be done, who makes the family have the courage and ability.
But speaking of which, since the flood, the happiest time was when everyone built their homes together, when the food was really good, and there were two heads of meat in three days.
Since everyone separated, there was no such good food, after all, there were no big cattle in the family who could hunt, and there was no money to buy meat, so this day was very tense.
The carriage stopped at the door of the house, and Da Niu got out of the carriage and said to Quan Zi, who was about to go back: "My family will take the money after dinner." ”
"Okay." Quanzi smiled and nodded, and then entered the door of his house.
……
"I'll get you a basin of water to wash." Zhou Yiran watched the big cow come in, took the basin and turned around, but as soon as he turned around, the basin in his hand disappeared.
"I'll go, you go eat first." As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the smell of meat, and I didn't need to ask to know that she had already prepared the meal and was waiting for him to come back.
She saw that the big cow had gone to the kitchen, and followed the kitchen to serve food.
"Pork sold out?" Zhou Yiran asked while serving rice.
"Originally, I didn't buy it out, but after a few more villages, it was sold out. Recently, due to the floods, everyone has been living in a tight situation, so there are not many people buying meat. After the big cow finished speaking, he went out with the water.
She also carried two bowls of rice out of the kitchen and went to the hall.
Because of the floods, everyone used their savings to build houses and then buy food, so naturally they had to save money, and everyone had to endure such things as meat.
As far as she knows, some families can go months without eating meat, so meat is a luxury for farmers.
Da Niu quickly washed and came in, sat down and picked up the bowl and chopsticks, looking at the dishes on the table, he felt that tonight was too rich. It was so hearty that he didn't know which dish to eat first.
Zhou Yiran saw him staring at the dish without moving, and she frowned.
"What are you staring at the dishes for?"
"Don't know which one to eat first?" The big cow raised his head and smiled.
She glanced at Da Niu: "Then don't eat it, watch me eat!" ”
"This can't be done, my husband will be hungry after a busy afternoon today." After Da Niu finished speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks to the pig's intestines, took a piece of intestines and put it in his mouth, the tip of his tongue just touched the intestines, his eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up, "Xiaoran, your cooking skills are getting better and better, this is delicious." ”
"It's delicious, I'm afraid you won't be delicious." When she heard Da Niu say that it was delicious, she was relieved.
She had tasted it before and thought it tasted good, but she didn't know if it was to his taste. Now watching the big cow eat bite by bite, she is relieved.
She smiled and took him the pork belly and put it in his bowl.
"You taste this, I don't know if it's done, I'm pretty good to eat it myself."
"You think it's good, it's going to be good." After the big cow finished speaking, he picked it up and put it in his mouth, which was full of competition and tasted good. But it's still missing, "It's better to put some chili oil." ”
"I don't have it at home, so I'll get some chili oil." She also felt that it tasted almost without chili oil, but she wouldn't get chili oil.
Da Niu nodded: "Okay, I'll get it when you're clean." ”
"Why wait for me to get clean?" Zhou Yiran didn't understand.
"Because you're hungry and stealing." Da Niu said this unceremoniously.
Zhou Yiran immediately gave Da Niu a roll of the eyes, and then didn't say anything.
It's not that she doesn't say it, it's that she has nothing to say.
Because what he said was true, she would definitely be able to resist eating spicy food when the time came.
Da Niu looked at her and smiled: "Okay, I won't care how you eat when you're clean." ”
"I can't stop you when I eat, aren't you hungry?" Zhou Yiran raised her head and glared at Da Niu.
Da Niu immediately stopped talking, buried his head in eating, and ate two bites of food after one bite of food.
Because the dishes were delicious, Da Niu ate a little too much, and after eating three bowls of rice, he solved all the dishes on the table. Originally, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to finish the dishes, but now it seems that she is worried.
After the meal, the big cow cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to take a bath, then mixed water into the pot, put a few coarse firewood in the stove and left it alone.
When he came to the hall, he took out all the money he had spent on buying meat today, all of which were copper coins one by one, which looked quite a lot.
"How much was sold." Curious, she asked.
"I don't count, it's about four taels of silver." After the big cow finished speaking, he began to count the money.
Da Niu is ten for himself, and then ten in front of her, he is directly divided into two parts, and he can take it directly when the whole son comes.
Soon, Da Niu finished dividing, and finally there was a copper coin left, and Da Niu looked up at her.
When she saw this, she said, "See what I'm doing?" This copper coin should be the money for the seedlings to serve you tea and water. ”
After hearing this, Da Niu smiled and put the copper coin in the pile of money in front of his daughter-in-law.
"Okay, I'll send the money to Quanzi, and you can put it away."
"Well, go ahead!" Zhou Yiran nodded.
After the big cow left, she went back to the room and took out the box containing the money, and then took the copper coins on the table into the box.
Quanzi's family was still eating, and Da Niu heard the joyful laughter of the family before he went in, and Da Niu walked in to see that Quanzi's family was still eating, and laughed.
Seeing him coming, Quanzi immediately got up: "You've eaten!" ”
"Well, I'll send you the money." After Da Niu finished speaking, he poured all the money in his clothes on the table.
"Wow. That's a lot of money! Xiao Miaozi's eyes were wide open, and he looked like a little money fan.
Chen He looked at his daughter like this, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid you're also a money fan when you grow up." ”
Xiao Miaozi laughed twice, and then lowered his head to eat the meat.
Quanzi looked at so much money, his eyes were straight, and then he looked at Da Niu: "How can there be so much?" ”
"It's almost two taels and one dollars here! The wild boar was big, and it wasn't much if it was sold for four taels and one dollars. Da Niu laughed.
When Quanzi heard that it was four taels and one dollars, and here it was two taels and one dollars, and there was one more money, so he frowned and said, "My family has a lot of meat left, why do you take more money?" ”
