Chapter 15 Go to the county seat to buy something
Lunch is to be arranged for the person who repairs the house.
There is no oil and water these days, plus the work is all manual work, everyone eats a lot, and there is no problem with a few catties of food per person.
In addition, Zhou Li'an eats some by himself and plants some in the space, these things are really not much.
After buying food, Zhou Li'an saw that there was still some time before noon, and after returning home, he went to the river with a bucket.
Her luck today is not as good as yesterday, and the largest fish she caught is only more than three catties, but fortunately, she wins by quantity, and the harvest is not bad.
At noon.
Zhou Li'an took out the big fish that was placed in the space before and made braised fish.
"Why is there a fish again, and it's so big?"
Zhou's mother was surprised.
Zhou Li'an replied with a smile: "I went fishing in the river in the morning, and I was lucky to meet a big one." โ
When Zhou's mother heard this, she happily accepted Zhou Li'an's statement:
"My daughter's luck is really good, this is the third big fish, right?"
"It's amazing that a family can catch a big fish this year, just this, some people say that my daughter is a broom star, I really want her to open her dog eyes to see, this is called a broom star? The lucky star is born into the world, and this is only luck. โ
Obviously, Zhou's mother was still worried about Zhao Cuihua saying that Zhou Li'an was a broom star in the morning.
"That's it, I'm a lucky star, not a broom star."
Zhou Li'an followed Zhou's mother's words and said: "In the future, my little lucky star will often fish for my mother." โ
Even if she can't catch it, she still has space, and she is not afraid that there will be no fish for Zhou's mother to eat.
"Okay, okay."
The family was eating at the table, and someone outside the courtyard shouted, "Is the Zhou family's aunt here?" โ
"Ah, there it is."
Zhou's mother hurriedly responded, went to the door to take a look, and saw that it was the captain's son who was pushing the cart, and the cart was full of things.
"Hey, what is this?"
"Auntie, I'm here to bring food to your daughter."
Zhou's mother glanced at Zhou Li'an, and after seeing Zhou Li'an nodding, she welcomed the person in and poured sugar water for the other party to drink.
With the help of the Zhou family, a cart of grain was quickly unloaded.
Zhou's mother left the other party to eat, only to see the captain's son say:
"Thank you, auntie, but no, my mother is still looking for me to go back to help."
After saying that, he pushed the cart and left.
In these days, compared with people in the countryside, there is actually no shortage of food in the city.
But everyone is still used to it, and there are no special circumstances, and they don't eat other people's food.
After all, the grain that cannot be eaten can be sold to the harvesters in the coming year.
Although the price is a little lower than that of new grain, it is also a rare source of income in the countryside.
ยท
After the meal, others went to work and went out to play, while Zhou Li'an was preparing to go to the county seat.
Work will start tomorrow, the grain will be bought in the brigade, and the meat and vegetables will still be bought in the county seat.
Zhou Li'an went to the village chief's house to borrow a bicycle.
These days, there are not many people in the countryside who have bicycles.
In Cherry Village, there is no other family in Cherry Village that has a bicycle.
The reason why the village chief's house exists is because the village chief has to manage the entire village, and often needs to run between several brigades.
From the first team to the seventh team, they can walk for most of the day just by walking, and the time cannot be used only for walking, so the village chief bought a bicycle.
The team of them is actually relatively close to the county seat, only fifteen kilometers away.
It takes more than three hours to walk, and an hour to reach by bicycle.
If you have a bicycle, you can go back and forth in an afternoon.
Zhou Li'an rode a bicycle borrowed from the village chief's house on the way to the county seat.
With a breeze blowing on his face, Zhou Li'an gave birth to the next small goal after repairing the house - that is, to buy a bicycle.
In the future, if she wants to use the things in the space to make money, she will inevitably have to run around.
Having a bicycle will undoubtedly be much more convenient.
However, this is a long-term perspective.
These days, it's hard to get a bike.
If you have money, you can't do it without a bike ticket.
ยท
When he arrived in the county seat, Zhou Li'an went to the meat factory first.
In those years, there were an average of eight taels of meat tickets per person per month in the city.
Among the tickets that Zhao Cuihua gave Zhou Li'an, there were nine catties of meat tickets.
Zhou Li'an didn't stay, and bought all the pork belly.
In this year, the fat and thin pork belly is considered second-class meat, and the ticket is eight cents and seven pounds, and nine pounds is a total of seven pieces and eight cents and three.
The person who cut Zhou Li'an's meat thought that there was a big customer today.
When Zhou Li'an waited for the meat, he began to look around.
Despite the memories of the original owner, everything in this era is still new to modern people.
This look made Zhou Li'an see what she was interested in.
It was a pig's head and a bunch of fat intestines.
"How do you buy this pig's head and pig's intestine?"
With curiosity and excitement, Zhou Li'an inquired.
The man who cut the meat glanced at Zhou Li'an, and then said: "Buy it with money, don't want a ticket, but buy it whole." โ
Hearing this person say this, Zhou Li'an only had one sentence in his mind.
And that'sโ
"Buy it."
In these years, the meat that doesn't need a ticket, buying it is equal to earning it.
Zhou Li'an touched his small purse, thinking about the dry pot fat sausage and red oil pig ears, "I want it, please help me weigh it." โ
The man from the meat factory looked at Zhou Li and thought, this is a big customer.
In recent years, there are not many people who can directly buy pig heads and pig intestines.
"The pig's large intestine is four cents a pound, no tickets, a total of sixteen pounds."
"A pig's head is seven cents a pound. Don't need a ticket, a total of ten pounds. โ
After speaking, the man neatly got the things Zhou Li'an wanted, "A total of twenty-one two cents and three and nine catties of meat tickets." โ
Zhou Li'an left the meat factory and went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought four catties of oil, two catties of rock sugar, and some condiments, and also bought matches, which cost a total of six yuan nine.
It took more than an hour to buy everything.
When he returned home on a bicycle, Zhou Li'an first took the things he bought back to the kitchen and put them away.
Immediately, he took half a pound of rock candy out and went to the village chief's house to return the car.
When I came back, I was stuffed with a basket of eggs by the village chief's daughter-in-law.
When Zhou Li'an arrived home, he saw that Zhang Qiaoli had come back at some point, and was pulling in the kitchen to see the things that Zhou Li'an had bought.
"Bought so many things?"
Zhang Qiaoli smiled on her face, but what she thought in her heart was that Zhou Li'an would not live at all, and when she had money, she would spend it lavishly, and if she continued like this, the 600 yuan would be lost by her sooner or later.
Zhou Li'an responded without being salty, and heard Zhang Qiaoli asking, "What are you eating tonight?" โ
Thinking of the food Zhou Li'an made, Zhang Qiaoli unconsciously began to secrete saliva.
I have to say that the food cooked by Zhou Li'an is really delicious.
However, after she got married, she really hadn't eaten a few meals cooked by Zhou Li'an, which shows that she was lazy before.
"I went to buy something, but my sister-in-law didn't do it, or she didn't eat it, right?"
Zhou Li'an didn't smile, "After all, people who don't work don't deserve to eat." โ
"You-"
Zhang Qiaoli didn't expect Zhou Li'an to scare her with what she said, and she didn't know what to say for a while, she couldn't refute what she said.
After Zhou Li'an finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Zhang Qiaoli anymore.
Now that they live together, it is impossible to really not let Zhang Qiaoli eat what she bought, but she still has to pay it back.
But after she moves out, it is not certain whether Zhang Qiaoli can eat her things.
That night, Zhou Li'an made a dry pot fat sausage, almost confusing the rest of the family.
Wash the fresh fat sausage, add ginger, green onions, spices, wine, and soy sauce and simmer.
After cooking, scoop up and cut off, heat the oil and stir-fry for a while.
Re-add the oil, put Zhou's mother's homemade bean paste, and stir-fry the fragrance.
Then add fat intestines and stir-fry for a while, then add onions and other side dishes, and then add condiments, the fragrance is overflowing, who is not confused.
Zhou Li'an also cut five catties directly to make the family full.
That night, the surrounding neighbors were drooling from the aroma of this fat intestine.
After dinner, sister-in-law Zhang Qiaoli was sent by Zhou's mother to wash the dishes again.
Zhou Li'an took a simple bath with hot water, and after a simple scrub of her vegetative husband Lu Yanzhou, she went to wash the clothes she had changed in the past two days.
By the time she finished doing this, Zhou Li'an was so tired that she didn't want to move.
But she couldn't sleep, she had something to do tonight.
In the end, Zhou Li'an replenished his energy with a drop of spiritual spring, and persevered until everyone else fell asleep.
Zhou Li'an went to the grain he brought back today and took 20 catties of rice and 5 catties of wheat.
