Xiaomei always felt that this meat was not right, but she couldn't say what was wrong, after all, the Chen family almost didn't buy meat, and they had no relevant experience.

As soon as they heard that they were going to buy popsicles, they immediately put the matter of buying meat behind them, and the three of them ran to the supply and marketing cooperatives together.

After Chen Qi and the others walked away, the people in the grocery store all came around: "Hey, how did those three mountain guys pick lean meat just now?" ”

The pig killer shrugged: "Who knows, maybe we ran into three two hundred and five." ”

Hehehe, there was a chuckle from the grocery store.

And three two hundred and five, at this time, were speeding up, carrying pork, and quickly ran into the supply and marketing cooperative.

In the words of Chen Qi, the Xingtang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, which is simply outrageous, not to mention comparing it with Yonghui Wal-Mart, even the hospital's 24-hour convenience store is not as good.

The entrance is made of two glass cabinets made of wood, and there are two rows of cabinets in the back.

The variety of goods is not very rich, such as thermoses, spittoons, rain boots, etc., and small commodities such as soap, towels, matches, etc., but there are no clothes and electrical appliances at all.

Chen Qi entered the supply and marketing cooperative, took out a dime and asked, "Auntie, which kind of popsicle is the cheapest for you here?" ”

The salesman of the supply and marketing cooperatives kept chatting, but he didn't reply when he heard it, and he didn't pay attention to them.

Chen Qi once saw in the novel how awesome the salesman was in the seventies and eighties, and today he really saw it, but there is no way, popsicles are only available in supply and marketing cooperatives, and they can't be sold elsewhere, so they can only endure it.

After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man in a white shirt came in, and as soon as he entered the door, the three salesmen stood up one after another, and the smiles on their faces reminded people of the enthusiastic and simple waiters in the documentary.

It turns out that this enthusiasm is only given to a few people.

Chen Qi understands that no matter what era, people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, when he succeeds and becomes a master, he can also enjoy this kind of enthusiasm, and now, he is just a dirt in the mountains.

So, boy, go for it.

The middle-aged man bought a pack of cigarettes and joked with the salesman before leaving.

Only then did a salesman come over, without enthusiasm or overly difficult:

"Hey, the cheapest is this sugar water popsicle, 3 cents a piece, this cream popsicle is a little more expensive, it costs 8 points, and there is a mahjong popsicle, but it seems that you can't afford it."

People just tell the truth, there's nothing to be angry about, Chen Qi told himself.

"Then let's have three popsicles."

The salesman took out the popsicle and found another 1 cent for Chen Qi.

Chen Shu and Chen Hua were almost crying, they hadn't eaten popsicles since their father died.

Looking at the intoxicated and happy appearance of the little brother and sister, Chen Qi was also very happy, he picked up the popsicle and began to bite and eat it one by one, and when he looked back, Chen Shu and Chen Hua were slowly eating.

"Eat quickly, if you don't eat it again, it will melt, and when my brother makes money, I will buy you popsicles to eat every day in the future."

"Mm-hmm, brother is the best."

Chen Qi will graduate from the health school in one year, and he will be able to get a salary after being assigned a job to become a doctor, even if the salary is not high, he is a great man in the eyes of rural people.

The three of them happily carried the pork back to Xia Ze Village.

It was only about 4 o'clock in the afternoon when I returned home, and I was seen by my second aunt Liu Cai'e as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village.

Liu Cai'e was shocked: "Where did you three little coffins get the money to buy meat?" Did your eldest sister borrow money? ”

Then she slurped a few times in her mouth: "You were deceived by the pig killer, how did you buy lean meat?" This meat cannot produce oil, and it is a loss. ”

Hearing the second aunt's explanation, Chen Qi knew that the evaluation of a good piece of meat in this era was not based on how much lean meat there was, but how much fat there was.

The fat meat bought back can be boiled in lard, and in the era of lack of oil and meat, it can be used by the whole family to eat meat for several months, although this meat may really taste the taste.

Seeing the frustrated little brother and sister, Chen Qi was quite optimistic.

Money is a bastard, and I didn't make any more money.

"It's okay, lean meat is more delicious, let's eat lean meat today, and when my brother makes money, I invite you to eat KFC every day."

"Brother, what is KFC?"

"This is not important, the important thing is where do we put the soy sauce and salt?"

In order to surprise the eldest sister, Chen Qi decided to cook himself and cook a beautiful braised pork for everyone to taste.

As a result, when the stupid eldest sister came home from work, the braised pork was eaten, but the few vegetable oil and soy sauce left at home were all destroyed by Chen Qi at once.

If you change to another family, you will definitely point your nose and scold your mother, and even some parents will take off their shoes and start teaching this loser a lesson.

But the stupid eldest sister didn't, she felt that her younger brother made his own money, bought meat for her and her family, and even an intellectual cooked it himself, such a family affection is not comparable to a few drops of vegetable oil at all.

Seeing Chen Qi with a self-blaming face, the stupid eldest sister didn't care:

"It's okay, the eldest sister will earn it if there is no oil, anyway, our family can't eat a few times a year, it doesn't matter if there is vegetable oil and soy sauce."

The little sister put a piece of braised pork into the mouth of the silly eldest sister: "Eldest sister, is it delicious?" ”

"It's delicious, it's delicious, I can't imagine that our champion still has this ability, is this also what I learned in school?"

Chen Qi scratched his head in embarrassment, in fact, this braised pork was a relatively unsuccessful burn, because the heat was not well controlled, and there was no rock sugar, it was a little burnt.

A surgical dog who ate in the cafeteria every day in his previous life, how many good cooking skills can he be expected to have?

Two catties of meat, the family eats happily.

But the careful Chen Qi found that the stupid eldest sister didn't eat a few bites at all, on the contrary, after the meal, she carefully put the remaining meat into a bamboo basket, and then hung it into the well, ready to eat it the next day.

The well is the natural refrigerator of the rural people.

In the summer, it won't get dark until 7 o'clock in the evening, and it's only 5 o'clock after eating, and the stupid big sister is going out again.

"Eldest sister, why are you going?"

"Farming, I only planted half of it yesterday, and if I don't hurry up, it will affect the yield in the future."

After the household contract system, the peasants were given the rest to the state, and the peasants' enthusiasm was greatly enhanced.

In the past, the team worked, and the captain urged and urged, but now there is no need to urge, go to the field before dawn, and still farm at night when it is dark, it is this kind of enthusiasm that has started the family production contract in 82 years.

Chen Qi put down the textbook in his hand and stood up: "Eldest sister, I'll go too." ”

The silly eldest sister waved her hand again and again:

"Forget it, you better read at home, yesterday you went to farm and fainted, it's too scary, you intellectuals just can't do rough work, anyway, our family has little land, and the eldest sister can do it alone."

"Our family has less fields?"

These words attracted Chen Qi's attention: "Eldest sister, why is our family Tian Shao?" ”
