Chapter 47: Fat
Just after lunch, Qiu coaxed Lu Xiaowu to sleep on the boat.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is no room for people in the shack at noon. During the day, Lu was not there, and Qiu was resting on the boat with the children.
As soon as Lu Xiaowu fell asleep, he heard someone on the shore shouting: "Auntie, auntie, I'm Xiaowu." ”
Qiu is still wondering, which little five? How is it the same as the one in her arms, they are all Xiao Wu.
I was afraid that people didn't understand, and the people shouted again: "I'm Ding Wu, is the aunt of the Lu family at home?" ”
Lu Xiaowu was almost startled by the sound on the shore, his hands were slammed together, and he was about to cry with a grin.
Qiu hurriedly patted Lu Xiaowu on the body and motioned for Lu Yangge to take the springboard.
At noon, because of Lu Yangge's request, except for Lu Quan, who was carrying the work at the dock, the rest of the family had to sleep, and the Lu family smoked the springboard after eating, saving the people on the boat next to him from coming up to talk, which disturbed Lu Xiaowu.
This child doesn't like to cry, but if you want to disturb his sleep, that's not okay, and the crying will make a sound.
When Ding Wu saw Lu Yangge, he grinned first and raised the knife in his hand: "This is what my mother asked me to bring." ”
A knife of meat, more fat and less lean. The fat has to be a finger wide, and it looks white and likable.
Lu Yangge has never seen such a thick fat meat since he came to this world.
Although there is lean meat on this meat, it is pitiful compared to the fat meat.
If in the past, Lu Yangge would never have eaten this kind of fatty meat, but now, just seeing the white raw meat, she felt that her cheeks were full of relish.
I want to eat.
Lu Yangge led Ding Wu to the cabin, and the women and children on the shore looked at Ding Wu's figure with envy in their eyes.
That's meat, a long strip of big fat.
Save some food, the oil from the fat is enough for a family to eat for half a year.
"Auntie, today's marinated fat sausages and pig's feet have been sold, and there are not enough to sell every day."
Ding Wumei wiped the sweat on his face with a smile, and nodded with a smile at Lu Yangge, who poured him tea: "My mother said, let me tell my aunt to give you the money when my aunt goes to the house tomorrow." By the way, please ask my aunt to go to the house more when she is free, my mother, my sister-in-law is just getting started, and I am afraid that I will do a good job, and my aunt will stare at them for a few more days before they are sure. By the way, my mother said, seeing that the business has been so good these days, my mother also left two pig heads, a few pig tails and pig feet, ready to be marinated and sold tomorrow. ”
is only fifteen or sixteen years old, Ding Wu can speak more than ordinary Lu Yangge's peers.
Seeing the smile on everyone's face, he was seven or eight points similar to Aunt Ding, and the same handsome eyebrows and big eyes looked heroic on Ding Wu's face.
This was originally said, Qiu went to Ding's house to help with a few days, and when Aunt Ding's daughter-in-law could get started, she didn't have to go.
Now the Ding family has sent Ding Wu to invite him again, and he also brought meat, which is treating the Qiu family like a master.
Qiu naturally did not refuse: "Didn't the silver money say that it would be one cent in ten days, so there is no hurry." How much copper money is this meat, my aunt has to give it to you. ”
As he spoke, Qiu was going to take out his money bag and give Ding Wu money.
Unexpectedly, Ding Wu got up in a panic, and even the tea bowl on the table was overturned, and most of the bowl full of tea was splashed on him.
Ding Wu was embarrassed and anxious, while he was busy wiping the water on the boat, he didn't forget to explain to Qiu: "I can ask for my aunt's money like this, the pig's feet were marinated by my aunt the day before yesterday, and my mother took it to the gate and sold it for eighty copper coins. ”
The day before yesterday, when Lu Yangge left the fat intestines and pig's feet, he said that pig's feet are wages.
Who would have expected that Qiu's stewed pig's feet again and sold them to Aunt Ding.
Today, Aunt Ding specially cut a piece of fat that was more than two catties for her younger son to deliver.
That's worth a lot more than a pig's knuckle!
"That's not how the accounts are calculated."
Although Lu Yangge said that pig's feet are wages, but Aunt Ding also wants to share a profit with the Lu family after selling fat intestines and pig's feet, how can she take advantage of the Ding family again.
Qiu Shi paid fifty wen and must give it, but Ding Wu resolutely refused to ask for it.
Pushing back and forth, in the end, Ding Wu had no choice, so he simply lifted the door curtain and ran out of the cabin.
He couldn't get this copper coin back, otherwise he would have to be beaten to death by his mother.
Qiu Shi looked at the meat brought by Ding Wu and looked at Lu Yangge in embarrassment: "You look at this meat?" ”
You can't send it back, but you can give money, and Aunt Ding won't take it!
"Mother, since it was given sincerely by Aunt Ding, you can take it, and I will go back to collect the fishing nets with the eldest sister and the second sister, and if there are fish, bring some fresh fish to Aunt Ding's house." However, this time you have to make it clear to Aunt Ding that business is business, and favors are favors, and you must not send meat again in the future. ”
Qiu nodded, and could only do what Xiao Si said.
Although her family is poor, she has always disliked taking advantage of others.
This time, the Ding family brought such a large piece of meat, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Lu Yangge saw that Qiu lowered his head and didn't speak, and he didn't say any more, his mother was used to this barren life. Suddenly, someone brought a knife of meat, which was a great favor for her, not only did she not feel happy, but she had a burden.
In fact, in her opinion, Aunt Ding sent meat this time just because the fat sausages and pig's feet have been selling well in the past few days.
In the future, the two will cooperate again.
Otherwise, why didn't Aunt Ding send pork two days ago, but only sent two pig's feet and a hanging of fat intestines, and a piece of pork liver.
It's not because the fat intestines are not easy to sell, and the pig's feet are not liked by anyone, and the pork liver is used as an addition on weekdays.
Today's meat delivery, of course, is because Aunt Ding saw the benefits of these two days.
Lu Yangge handed the meat to Lu Xiaoqing: "Eldest sister, hang it up, and wait for Dad to come back in the evening to make braised pork to eat." ”
"What you eat, how can you eat meat every day."
Without waiting for Qiu to speak, Lu Xiaoli took the meat first: "I'll cut off this fat meat and boil it in oil, and marinate the lean meat with salt, and leave it for a few days before eating." ”
"Second sister, I have no problem with boiling fat meat, don't marinate this lean meat. It's so hot, what should I do if it's broken? ”
Lu Yangge pulled Lu Xiaoli's sleeve flatteringly and didn't let go: "Let my mother give me some copper coins, let's go buy some flour and come back to make dumplings." The oil residue left over from boiling oil, as well as lean meat, is so good to eat dumplings together. ”
"Okay, then make dumplings." Qiu Shi stretched out the money bag he had just taken out and was about to take out the money.
"Mother...... Why are you so used to being a little four? ”
Lu Xiaoli didn't expect that not only did she not leave this meat, but she also had to pay for flour, she stared at Qiu's hand and couldn't wait to snatch Qiu's money bag.
"I want to eat meat and buy flour, how much does it cost!"
Can't get by?
Lu Yangge didn't care about Lu Xiaoli and jumped to her feet in anger, she took the money handed over by Qiu, pulled Lu Xiaoyu and ran out.
When the person ran out, he didn't forget to turn around and shout: "Second sister, don't forget to go down the slope to pick a tender rice melon and come back, the rice melon meat filling is delicious and not greasy." ”
Lu Xiaoli angrily spat in the direction where Lu Xiaosi went away: "It's still tender rice melon stuffing, how can she be so good at eating." The rice melon hasn't grown yet, so it's a pity to eat it. ”
"Alright."
Qiu smiled and patted Lu Xiaoli, "It's better than the cost of just wrapping meat, go pick it up." ”
On this day, the Lu family ate meat-filled dumplings, and a few hungry children from the wild pier made a fuss at home.
