Chapter 45: Everyday Life
Beiye tasted a cold red pepper pork belly shreds again, the taste was crispy and refreshing, and the speed of eating couldn't help but be faster than usual, fortunately he used a basin to eat, otherwise he would have eaten it for a while.
Halfway through eating, Gu Rao came out with a big bowl of sauerkraut soup.
"Drink soup before your next meal to digest better."
Beno raised his hand and took the soup bowl and took a sip.
"Okay."
Then place the soup bowl in the vacated area next to the pork and continue eating.
Gu Rao saw that he was eating deliciously, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Today's dish is very good, so I specially steamed some more rice, ate it in the bowl, and then went to the pot to serve it, there are still many dishes, I can't eat it alone."
Besino's nodded.
"Hmm."
"You go in and eat, don't worry about me, be careful when the food gets cold."
Gu Rao was about to go back.
The man finally couldn't help it, stopped Gu Rao, and asked, "Boss, what are you frying?" I could tell it was meat, but I couldn't tell what it was, and it tasted so good. ”
Gu Rao smiled and said, "It's the meat on the wild boar, if you like it, buy more and go back to eat it." ”
The man's eyes were regretful.
"My daughter-in-law's cooking skills, I know in my heart that I can't fry so delicious." After thinking about it, he said, "Then bring me a pound of pork and buy two little piglets." ”
Beiye put down the dishes and chopsticks, weighed out a pound of wild boar, and said, "These little piglets are about fifteen catties, and the price is thirty wen a catty." ”
"Do you choose it yourself, or will I help you take two random ones and weigh them?"
The man said, "I'll choose for myself." ”
Two boars that looked lively were quickly selected.
Besino: Weigh the two pigs.
"One is just fifteen pounds, and it's been sixteen pounds and six taels."
Gu Rao calculated the price and said, "The fifteen-pound piglet is four hundred and fifty wen, and the sixteen-catty piglet is four hundred and ninety-eight wen, a total of nine hundred and forty-eight wen." ”
"Plus a pound of 38 wen wild boar, a total of 986 wen. If you buy more, we'll wipe the odds for you, just give 980 wen. ”
The man didn't expect that he didn't need to bargain by himself, so the proprietress directly gave herself six dollars less, and she was quite good at doing business, so she was comfortable and decided to take care of this business more in the future.
And he took down the money pouch from his loin, and gave him a silver ingot of silver.
"The loose money is not enough, find me more."
Gu Rao took the money.
"Okay."
I found him twenty yuan in change.
The big man came to the market with a basket on his back, and it was convenient to put the piglets and wild boar meat at this time, and put the piglets and pork in the basket, and the basket on his back was about to leave.
Beiye said, "Our family will have to do a food business in the future, if you like our family's food, you can come and try it when you have time in the future." ”
The big man's eyes lit up.
"Did you eat anything you just ate?"
Gu Rao replied.
"We plan to do business at home, the yard is not very big, and the two of us can't be busy, so we don't plan to do stir-fry business for the time being, and when the business of casserole rice noodles improves, we can set up a shop, and after we can afford to hire a guy, we will consider doing a stir-fry business."
Dahan was a little disappointed when he heard this.
He had never heard of rice noodles in a casserole, and he was not interested in it at all, he just wanted to eat the meal that smelled so fragrant that it made people drool uncontrollably.
Gu Rao continued, "At that time, in addition to casserole rice noodles, there will also be boiled rice noodles and noodles to sell, and the whistle used will not taste worse than the stir-fry just now." ”
Dahan nodded.
"When are you opening? When the time comes, I'll bring a few brothers with me. ”
Gu Rao said, "Three days later. ”
Dahan walked away satisfied.
After lunch, Beiye had to take the initiative to wash the dishes again, but he was directly driven out of the kitchen by Gu Rao, and quickly washed the dishes and chopsticks by himself.
Then wash the pig hair in the yard, and after washing the pig hair, continue to spread it on the swept stone steps to dry.
I went upstairs and put the clothes that Beno had changed yesterday and the clothes I had changed this morning into a wooden basin, and took them down and put them on the stone laundry table in the courtyard.
The hole was closed with a rag, and then the clothes were poured on the stone platform, a bucket of cold water was poured into them, and then he went back to the house and took an apron to wear on his body to prevent his new clothes from getting dirty.
Gu Rao used to be too lazy to do these housework, but now she resigned herself to her fate, knowing that she would have to live here in the future, and these things would have to be done sooner or later.
Once you accept your future fate, it's also very motivating to do these chores.
She first washed her belly pocket, lathered with honey locusts, and then gently scrubbed it, and when it was almost done, she soaked it with water a few times and put it aside, and then took out her and Beye's underwear and beat it with a mallet while scrubbing it.
Besino's coat was washed last, and he didn't change his clothes for so many days in the mountains, and he shuttled between the mountains and forests all day long, and the dirtiness of his clothes can be imagined.
After washing, the water is cloudy.
Gu Rao put the sewage away, then poured in a bucket of water, washed all the clothes, the water was still a little dirty, and continued to drain the water to wash again.
After washing it three times, the water used to wash the clothes was finally clear.
Gu Rao wrung out the water one by one, hung it on a hemp rope tied between the two top beams and pillars to dry, and made many trips back and forth before drying all the clothes.
After doing all this, he stood in the courtyard and hammered his sour waist with his fist.
I looked up at the sky.
It's time to make dinner.
Originally, I wanted to clean up the inside and out, but it seems that I can only talk about these tasks until tomorrow.
Gu Rao came to the door and asked, "How's the sale?" ”
Beiye smiled and said, "There is one pheasant and one hare left, two piglets left, and twenty-five catties of wild boar, but the gray fox has all been sold." ”
Gu Rao was also a little happy when she heard this.
"How much does the fox sell?"
Beiye said truthfully, "I have hunted a lot of foxes before, and all of them were sold to Yunlailou, all of them were sold at the price of one hundred wen, and just now the housekeeper of a big family came and took them away at the price of three hundred wen, and the five foxes were sold for fifteen hundred wen." ”
"He said that next time there will be one, he will send it directly to their house."
Gu Rao, "......"
It seems that Zhou Zheng has made a lot of mistakes in Bieye.
There is really no need to continue to cooperate with such people, and it is a good thing to break up, although this time I sold my prey and wasted some things, but I made more money than selling it to Yunlailou.
"I'm going to make dinner, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Beno shook his head.
"I can eat whatever I want." After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'm not hungry yet, and when I'm done selling these, I'll make dinner." ”
"You've been tired of the day."
When she was doing the laundry just now, he wanted to help, but she was replaced by her to guard the stall, but she excused himself on the grounds that he didn't want to cut pork.
Gu Rao was indeed a little tired, and after listening to Beiye's concerned words, she felt ironed in her heart, as if she was not as tired as just now, and said with a smile, "Aren't you also tired for a day?" ”
"I'm not so tired from cooking, so I'll do it."
"You guard the stall first, and then sell it for a while, if you can't sell it, let's keep it for yourself to eat, and if you can't finish it, you can make bacon."
"As for the two little piglets......"
Do you really want to raise it yourself?
