Chapter 143: Butcher Zhou's Thoughts
Therefore, Butcher Zhou was extremely enthusiastic when he saw Liu Wan.
He now leaves Liu Wan the best pork belly every time, and also counts the price of pork belly as ordinary meat to Liu Wan.
Where did Liu Wan know these ways, she thought that the price range of pork belly was like this.
Although I have bought more expensive pork belly before, hasn't the price of meat fluctuated?
Sometimes it's a little more expensive, sometimes it's cheaper.
So Liu Wan didn't think that this was Butcher Zhou's special care for her.
Butcher Zhou has to deal with customers all day long, and he is relatively good at words, but every time he sees Liu Wan, since he has a different mind about her, Butcher Zhou has become clumsy.
He always felt that Liu Wan should be able to understand his thoughts.
But who knew that Liu Wan was always quiet.
After Liu Wan walked away with the bamboo basket on her back, looking at Liu Wan's swaying back, Butcher Zhou couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Hey, I said Lao Zhou, you have a crush on this little girl, right?"
At this time, the fish seller next to him quipped.
"What are you talking nonsense?"
Butcher Zhou didn't want to admit it now, after all, Liu Wan didn't respond to his overtures, which made him feel quite unconfident for a while.
"Well, isn't that little lady a widow? I heard that he still has 5 children, and his three sons have not yet found a daughter-in-law.
Like you, you can earn three or five hundred dollars a day, which is more than enough to marry her!
Having someone as good as you looking for her is a blessing she cultivated in her previous life. ”
The fish seller said in a mocking tone.
Although others were ridiculing, Butcher Zhou was interested.
Affirmed by outsiders, Butcher Zhou inexplicably gained some confidence.
"Brother, do you think she is willing to remarry?" Butcher Zhou couldn't help but want to communicate with the people on the side about this matter.
"How can you not want to marry? How old is she?
Thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger! You know! ”
The fish seller showed a lewd smile.
"But why do I think she's boring to me?" Butcher Zhou said in distress.
"Yo, you haven't tried it, and you haven't told anyone about it.
If you don't say it, how do people know your mind?
Although the little lady is a widow, she looks quite smart, if you don't start early, maybe someone else will start it. ”
As the fish seller spoke, his mouth still smacked, and he still didn't look like he was finished.
Butcher Zhou listened, looked at Liu Wan's back in the distance, and thoughtfully.
Liu Wan actually went to the butcher stall on the other side to buy meat.
She is too familiar with Butcher Zhou, how much meat does the barbecue stall need every day, Butcher Zhou knows that if she buys more at once, it may make Butcher Zhou feel strange, ask questions, and talk to Wang Xiao.
Liu Wan deliberately went to another meat stall that she didn't often buy to buy on a large scale, whether the other party had leftover pig scalps, pork ribs, or lean meat, Liu Wan covered them all.
Pork ribs and lean meat, in the present is the second meat, the common people only like to buy big fat and pork belly, ribs and bones are more, occupy the scale, not cost-effective, lean meat is too stuffy, it is not easy to buy meat once, you can't eat a mouth full of oil, that is not called eating meat.
Liu Wan wrapped these "secondary meats", and the butcher was happy, and sold them to her for five cents cheaper.
On the edge of this butcher stall, there happened to be a countryman who killed a sheep to sell, because it was late, and basically all the sheep were not sold.
Liu Wan bought all the sheep with 700 yuan.
This time, it cost two taels of silver to buy meat.
After harvesting at the meat stall, Liu Wan went to the stall selling seafood again.
There are quite a lot of seafood here, whether it is lobster, large yellow croaker or horse noodle fish, as well as octopus, squid, all kinds of aquatic products, but the price is much more expensive than meat.
Liu Wan basically bought some from every stall, and she spent more than three taels of silver.
She took a woven basket very casually, put all the seafood she bought into the basket, and after the sheltered place around the corner, she put the basket of seafood into the gourmet locker.
Now she has a lot of food lockers in her place, but they still only occupy a corner of her food lockers.
There are already 100 catties of seafood, 200 catties of white flour, 500 catties of rice, and two large jars of dried bamboo shoots, about 100 catties, and about 30 catties of dried mushrooms.
Her food locker space has expanded to three tons, so the pile of things she bought still seems insignificant in this huge space.
Every time Wang Xiao didn't pay attention, Liu Wan would desperately buy food in the space.
Because Liu Wan is in charge of the money, Wang Xiao doesn't know how much silver Liu Wan has spent and how much silver she has in her hands.
Even if he asked, Liu Wan would believe a random number, not to mention that he never asked.
Liu Wan found that the price of rice has indeed risen slightly recently.
The government is now very strict with grain control, and rice merchants don't dare to raise prices aggressively, but they will slowly rise slightly, so every time Liu Wan buys rice, she will find that the rice has risen by a copper plate per catty, and in this way, the increase in rice is not small.
Liu Wan wandered around the market, and Wang Xiao packed up the shop at this time and looked for her everywhere.
He went to Butcher Zhou's stall, but Butcher Zhou told him that Liu Wan had already left.
Wang Xiao could only drive the ox cart and walk along the lively places of the market town, looking for Liu Wan everywhere.
Inadvertently, Wang Xiao saw a familiar figure from a distance, it was his eldest aunt Qiu.
Wang Xiao was about to call her, but Qiu turned around and entered a mansion with a huge black lacquered wooden door.
Wang Xiao saw that this house was so magnificent, and felt that this family must not be ordinary, and the family should be a big official, otherwise he would not be able to build such a big house.
It's just that Qiu's mother's family is in the countryside, when did they attach such a rich and noble family?
Wang Xiao was a little curious, but his curiosity did not reach the point where he dropped the ox cart and stared at Qiu.
He was "slipping around" in the town, and finally saw Qiu carrying a bamboo basket to the market.
"Mother, didn't you say you would wait for me at Butcher Zhou? Where did you go? I'm looking for you everywhere. ”
Wang Xiao jumped out of the ox cart and hurriedly stepped forward to take the bamboo basket from his mother's hand, which was quite heavy.
"Hehe, after I bought the pork belly, I thought about buying some needles and threads, fabrics or something, didn't Xiaohui say that she would make clothes?
I thought about buying some nice fabrics so that she could make more beautiful clothes to wear. ”
Liu Wan's bamboo basket really put several pieces of fabric, pink, blue, and light beige, the material is of high quality, and it will cost a lot of money at a glance.
Now that she is a mother-in-law, how to get along with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a big problem in the world.
Although Liu Wan has no experience in getting along with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she feels that getting along with others is about mutual giving.
If she gives Wu Hui warmth, even if Wu Hui doesn't give her love in return, at least she won't be disgusted with her.
In fact, Liu Wan went to the ready-to-wear store and took the opportunity to buy more than 10 pieces of cotton clothes, and took advantage of the discount and cheap in the change of seasons to stock up on some clothes.
After returning home, Wu Hui honestly stewed the rice this time and waited for Liu Wan to come back to cook.
