When Mrs. Cui thought that salt was so expensive, her heart throbbed a little.

However, salt is something that must be bought, and it is necessary to use it for cooking on weekdays, and the dishes to be made do not put salt in it, which is really no taste at all, and it is difficult to swallow.

Old Madam Cui still listened to Zhiluo, "Okay." ”

Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui went to the meat case to buy meat first.

The two of them were going to the meat case on the other side of the market, which was bustling there.

However, in the past, I had to go through the medical center just now, so as not to attract attention.

They decided to make their way through the back alley.

It's just that when I was about to cross this alley, I didn't expect to see a meat stall.

It's a small stall in the middle of nowhere, but it's cleanly packed.

A fat girl in clean clothes is tidying up the meat board.

Old Mrs. Cui was also stunned, "There is even a meat stall here, it's too remote, right?" ”

"But it looks clean."

Jiang Zhiluo looked at the clean up and pulled Mrs. Cui over.

"This sister, how much does the pork belly cost in your stall?"

As soon as the fat girl looked at the customer, she smiled and said, "Nineteen yuan a catty." ”

Old Madam Cui's eyes lit up, this was cheaper than the meat in the bazaar.

"If the eldest lady and sister want to buy meat, I happen to have a vice pig in the water here, so I will give it to you."

Old Madam Cui couldn't believe it, and leaned into Jiang Zhiluo's ear and whispered, "It's really cost-effective." ”

In this year, some people also buy pigs to eat, but it is not easy to clean up, so the pigs are cheap, so a pair may cost a penny or two.

A penny or two is also money.

Jiang Zhiluo naturally knows the market, this is cheap, the meat case in the bazaar, because of the good location, the pork belly costs 21 yuan a catty, and ordinary meat costs 20 yuan.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, the fat girl smiled and said, "Don't worry, our pork is all fresh, and it is a home-raised pig." ”

At this moment, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy ran out and said, "The pig that my father and mother just killed in the morning is the freshest." ”

The little boy is not like the fat girl, he has a well-proportioned figure, he is a sunny little boy, and he looks very energetic.

This made Jiang Zhiluo think of her younger brother.

The fat girl said gently, "Brother, why are you here?"

"I'm here to help my sister."

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Is this a stall you just opened?" ”

The fat girl explained with a smile: "I have been in business for many years, and I first killed pigs in the village, and I moved to the town in the past two years, and I also buy meat from nearby residents on weekdays. ”

"And when the village catches up with the market for the festival, I kill pigs and go to the village to work."

"But it used to be at the market, and after my dad fell and injured himself, he didn't put it there, so I moved here."

Jiang Zhiluo talked to the fat girl, and also knew that her name was Lin Zhuzhu, and she also learned some things.

Lin Zhuzhu's father and mother used to kill pigs in the village, and their family was in good condition before, so Lin Zhuzhu's father and mother provided for her younger brother to study.

But last year, his father fell and fell ill, and her mother was weak, so she took over this meat case stall.

She is now eighteen years old, and in the past few years, because she has shown up to do meat case business, she has also been said some gossip, and a few years ago, her family set a family affair for her, but because of her bad reputation, she was dismissed.

But she doesn't care about these things herself, she sits upright, and is not afraid of what others say.

After she took over the meat case stall, she was able to make money to treat her father and let her younger brother study, and she didn't think there was anything wrong.

"At the beginning, how could a girl's family do things like killing pigs, but I think that what men can do, why can't women do it, I have been strong since I was a child, and I have helped my father do these things since I was a child, and killing pigs is neater than them......"

When Lin Zhuzhu said this, she had a smile in her eyes.

Although she looks fat, she also looks good when she smiles.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "I'll buy a pound of pork belly first." ”

Although Jiang Zhiluo only bought one catty, Lailin Pig also gave a high name.

also gave a pair of pigs to Jiang Zhiluo.

Jiang Zhiluo was very happy in her heart, the pig in the water is a good thing.

In this way, she doesn't have to make steamed buns, and she can use the pig to make meat sandwich buns.

Mrs. Cui smelled the smell of pigs going into the water, and she couldn't stand it.

"Zhiluo, do we really want to eat this, we won't deal with this pig in the water."

The most important thing is that Old Madam Cui thought to herself, her son of Zhilan Yushu probably wouldn't eat this thing.

My son loves cleanliness so much, and he has a habit of cleanliness, so he probably can't even smell the smell.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mother, don't worry, I will deal with it." ”

Normally, it can be processed with flour, but free is too expensive, so it is washed with plant ash.

This saves money.

Next, they went to the grocery store to buy salt.

But a pound of salt costs seventy yuan.

As soon as she heard this price, Jiang Zhiluo frowned.

"This salt is too expensive, is there anything cheaper?"

"Then there is only coarse salt, and this kind of large-grained coarse salt costs thirty-five dollars a catty." The shopkeeper looked at the coarse salt placed in the corner, and no one bought these large grains of coarse salt.

The main reason is that eating this coarse salt seems to be bad for the body.

Jiang Zhiluo's heart moved, she would use coarse salt to extract fine salt.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Then buy two catties of coarse salt." ”

Old Madam Cui grabbed Jiang Zhiluo's hand and said, "Zhiluo, it's not good to eat coarse salt, I heard that it is poisonous." ”

Jiang Zhiluo knew that some coarse salt and some chemicals were in it.

But as long as you follow the filtration and purification method.

Some of these impurities can be neutralized by boiling plant ash.

"Mother, don't worry, it's okay."

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Mrs. Cui with a calm look.

Old Madam Cui looked at Jiang Zhiluo's expression, and for some reason, she felt that people had a convincing feeling.

It's as if what she says is right.

Mrs. Cui thought to herself that thirty yuan is also expensive, if it can't be used, it will be a waste.

There was a little throbbing in her heart, but when she thought that the money was also earned by Zhiluo, she thought to herself, Zhiluo can do whatever she wants.

The shopkeeper looked at them in astonishment.

But looking at their poor clothes, I just thought they couldn't afford salt.

The money earned from selling brown sugar is simply not enough to buy two catties of coarse salt.

Jiang Zhiluo took out a little of the hundreds of dollars that had been placed in the space before and bought two catties of coarse salt.

She looked again, bought some spices at the grocery store, the spices were not complete, she went to the market and bought something, there were peppercorns and peppers, and she also bought a little wine, and it cost more than fifty yuan.

The main reason is that these seasonings are not easy to buy, and if you want to buy them from the spice stalls, the price is more expensive, and the most ordinary wine costs 18 yuan a catty.

Old Madam Cui didn't know what to say.

With this way of spending, she was really worried that she wouldn't be able to save money, but after thinking about it, it would be good for her daughter-in-law to be happy.

Just make the money again.

After that, Jiang Zhiluo didn't buy anything more, but went home with Mrs. Cui.

As soon as she got home, Jiang Zhiluo began to burn plant ashes, and then used them to clean the pigs.

Mrs. Cui felt that she was still doing such dirty work, and her daughter-in-law's slender and beautiful hands should not be rough.

"Zhiluo, just come and do these things, and wash them clean."
