Chapter 005: Did You Get Your Head Kicked?

The woman quickly put twenty bags of salt into a plastic bag and handed it to Lin Xiaoman, and asked, "You guys are filming in the park, right?" Why did you come out in costumes? ”

"I didn't have time to change it!" Lin Xiaoman replied vaguely.

I thought: It seems that those people before were singing a drama about the disaster victims escaping the famine, this opera troupe is really rich, and they throw more than 300 steamed buns in one play.

Looking back, let's see if I can earn some more money to buy clothes to change on, otherwise I will ask when I meet someone, which is inconvenient.

Squeezed out of the crowd and hid in the corner with Lin Erhu to look at the salt in the bag.

It was fine salt, whiter than the best salt they had ever tasted!

Weighing it by hand, it is not as much as a pound on their side, but the money they earned just now is enough to buy such two hundred bags of salt, and the things here are really cheap!

Lin Erhu concluded, "Sister, the one yuan here should be about the same as the one penny we have over there." But the things here are cheap, and the money is easy to earn, so we will come over to earn money to buy things in the future. ”

Lin Xiaoman also agreed, "When I first came over, I saw that there were many people carrying baskets to sell mountain goods, and when we went back, we also went up the mountain to find out what we could sell." It's a pity that we are not allowed to sell illicit salt, and if we are caught, we will go to jail, but we can buy other things and sell them to others for money. ”

Lin Erhu smiled hesitantly, "I went up the mountain to chop wood a few days ago, and I saw a mallet on the mountain. I remember all the places, go back and dig a few to sell and see. ”

"It's okay, go buy a few catties of sugar and rice and go back, I'm not afraid of being hungry this winter."

"I want to eat meat!"

"Buy it for you!"

So, the siblings went straight to the IKEA supermarket, where the salt was cheapest. Salt is sold so cheaply, nothing else is definitely expensive!

The supermarket was crowded with people, and the front of each stall was crowded with people, and the siblings squeezed in towards a stall selling meat.

Next to him are elderly aunts and uncles, this one shouted: "I want two catties of pork ribs!" ”

The one shouted, "Weigh me three pounds and five flowers!" ”

"I want that piece of cucumber meat, and that piece of tenderloin."

The sisters and brothers were smacking, these people bought meat as if they didn't need money.

When they squeezed into the crowd, they saw a row of open-facing cabinets filled with sliced strips of meat, and the cool air came to their faces.

"Sister, it's a lot of meat." Lin Erhu shook Lin Xiaoman's hand, "Buy it, just buy one." ”

Lin Xiaoman looked at it, and the meat sold here was thinner than the meat sold in the county, which made her dissatisfied.

Fat points are fragrant when eaten, especially the big fat meat can also be boiled in meat oil, and a spoonful of meat oil in cooking noodles is not to mention how fragrant.

The oil residue left over from boiling oil and the stew and stuffing are delicious. Sprinkle a little salt noodles and eat it directly, which can make people fragrant.

It's just that the fat in the county town is still in demand, and her father has to get up early to go out every time to buy it.

There are also bones inside, although there is more meat sold in the county, but why is it more expensive than meat?

It's strange that people here are willing to pay a lot of money for bones that don't have much meat if they don't eat good meat? Did the head get kicked by the donkey?

Lin Xiaoman looked around critically, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a pile of fat meat in the corner and asked, "Auntie, how do you sell that?" ”

Lin Xiaoman thought that the fat pork belly was the most expensive, and the fat meat with no lean meat at all like this was more expensive than the pork belly, but he didn't expect the aunt who sold the meat to take a look at the pile of fat meat, "These are the leftovers of the refined meat, five pieces and nine pounds, how much do you want?" ”

Another word I've never heard before!

Lin Xiaoman didn't know how much five yuan nine was, handed over the last twenty yuan, and asked cautiously, "How much can you buy for twenty yuan?" ”

The woman who sold the meat took the money, took out a few pieces of fat from the cabinet, and put them on the electronic scale, "Nineteen dollars five!" The bag is two cents, a total of nineteen yuan and seven, looking for you three cents, and the money and receipts are collected. ”

Lin Xiaoman knows, five yuan nine is five yuan nine, why do the people here still say it for a while?

But why is the fat sold so cheaply? Don't people here like to eat fatty meat?

After taking the meat and the small ticket handed by the woman, as well as three smaller silver coins, the sister and brother laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.

Lin Erhu took out the green one from Lin Xiaoman's hand and handed it over, "Auntie, buy fat." ”

The woman looked at Lin Erhu in surprise, "Fifty yuan of fat?" Can you finish eating at home? Will you be scolded by your parents if you buy it back? ”

Lin Xiaoman explained with a smile, "It's our parents who asked us to buy it back for oil refining, Auntie, you can sell it to us." ”

Lin Xiaoman guessed that his parents should be talking about the elders in the family, but he didn't know if it was his father? Or grandma?

The woman didn't ask any more questions, and quickly weighed Lin Xiaoman's meat. The siblings spent an extra three cents to buy a large plastic bag of fatty meat.

This plastic bag is thicker than the steamed buns, and it looks sturdy, so I can wipe it with plant ash when I go home, wash it with water, and I can continue to use it when I buy things in the future, but I am not so distressed.

I went to the grain selling area to buy a bag of white sugar and 90 yuan of rice, and they also bought a bag of round and round things called potatoes for the few silver coins they recovered.

I haven't eaten it, so go back and try it.

Coming out of the IKEA supermarket, there was a row of beautiful cars outside, and children were sitting on them and dangling. A beautiful nursery rhyme came: "Daddy's dad is called grandpa, and daddy's mom is called grandma......

The sister and brother stood for a while before they figured it out: Dad is a father, and Mom is a mother.

When I got home, I closed the door, took out all the things I bought today, looked at them, and hid them all the way.

Lin Xiaoman asked Lin Erhu to brush the pot, make a fire on the stove, and then go to the well to bring some water to boil, and she cut the fat she bought into slices.

More than 20 catties of fatty meat, even if there is a shortage of catties or two, it will be enough for their sisters and brothers to eat until next year.

When boiling lard, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu went to wash a wooden board and put it on the floor in the house, leaving a few steamed buns to eat for a few days, and cutting the rest into thick slices and drying on top of the wooden board.

Fortunately, there are no more people in the west of the village, and the few families who have not moved away also live far away, and the fragrance of boiling lard is blown away when the light wind blows.

After boiling the lard, I added a little salt and put it into the oil jar, but a large jar was not filled, and a large bowl was filled.

cut a few potatoes and stewed them on the bottom of the oil in the pot, and Lin Erhu was almost confused when he ate, "Sister, this is too fragrant, will we be able to eat so well every day in the future?" It's just that the skin on the top is not very tasty, and the skin will be peeled off next time. ”

"Well, I can!"

Lin Xiaoman also smiled and bent his eyes, the good days of their sister and brother are still to come.

After eating a meal, the sisters and brothers didn't want to move when they were lying on the bed, Lin Erhu muttered: "This thing called potatoes is really delicious, let's plant some in the field next year." ”

"Okay, I just don't know how to plant it, and I'll find someone over there to ask when the time comes. Let's see if there are any other things that we don't have here to plant. ”

The next morning, Lin Xiaoman took a few steamed bread slices, fried them in lard, added water to the bottom of the oil to cook a salty porridge, sprinkled a handful of green onions and a handful of oil residue when he came out of the pot, and drank most of the pot with the steamed bread slices.

After eating and drinking, he brought a few steamed buns, and one person carried a big basket, and a few cloth bags in the big basket went out.
