Chapter 39: The Controversy

It was not early, Fusheng and Chrysanthemum were pushing the cart and preparing to go back, and their father and mother must have been waiting at home.

The red beans followed Zhang's to the kitchen and wrapped the braised pig's trotters and braised peanuts that were left separately.

Hand it to the two and let them take it back to their cousin and aunt to taste.

Before leaving, Hongdou quietly pulled the chrysanthemum aside and chirped for a while.

Xiaoya relied on her inability to speak, so she ran over and blatantly eavesdropped.

Others could only see Chrysanthemum's eyes on the side, glaring from time to time.

Everyone is curious, what are these two people talking about?

"Hongdou, what are you two talking about, it's not early, Chrysanthemum should go back, lest the road be difficult."

The two of them also said about it at this time, and when they heard Mrs. Xie's words, they finally went their separate ways.

"Cousin, remember what I just said, if there is anything, try to do it."

Hearing her cousin's advice, Chrysanthemum remembered it in her heart and nodded affirmatively.

Red Beans watched the two of them walk out of the alley before turning around and entering the door.

"Grandma, mother, I'll take Xiaoya to grind peas." There is a lot to grind today, so let's rest early after finishing it early.

Mrs. Xie is cleaning up the kitchen with Zhang.

Hearing this, he hurriedly walked out: "You better don't get it, so as not to make trouble with the donkey again, I'll take Xiaoya to make it." ”

This donkey is a bit big, what if he loses his temper.

Hongdou looked at the donkey who was strolling around the yard after a full meal, and thought that grandma was right.

Anyway, it's mainly donkey work, and grandma and Xiaoya won't be too tired.

"Then I'll help my mother clean up the kitchen, and I'll change you when I come out."

After the red bean enters the kitchen, take a dry cloth to wipe the water stains after washing the dishes, put them in the cupboard, and say while working:

"Mother, the Midyear Festival is coming soon, should we buy some paper money candles and go to the grave to worship my father?"

When Zhang heard this, the movements of his hands slowed down slightly.

"yes, gotta go. Don't be busy with this, I'll just find a time to get things ready. ”

It's good to let the head of the family take a look, the family is all good now, the son, daughter, and mother-in-law are all fine, and the population has increased.

"By the way, girl, today's pig's trotters and pork ribs are still strange and delicious, why don't we add both to sell?"

"It's just that there are a lot of bones, I'm afraid I can't sell them for a price."

Many families only buy pig's trotters for milk when someone is pregnant.

If the conditions are not so bad, they will also buy some pork belly to eat.

After all, it's still meat with oil and water.

"Listen to my mother. Let's add it and sell it, let's marinate the pig's trotters softer, shave the bones and sell them. Forget about the ribs. ”

"If we want to eat it, we can buy it and eat it."

As long as the marinated pig's trotters are flavorful, soft and rotten, they are easy for men, women and children to accept.

And she doesn't want to be cheap in terms of price, after all, after the pig's trotters are shaved and the bones are shaved, there is a lot less meat, and with the addition of labor, you can't work in vain.

Zhang was very happy when she heard this, there was another entry in this house, and she now thinks that something delicious is delicious, and she wants to sell it.

"Eh, then I'll tell your grandmother later, if anyone goes out to buy pigs in the water, buy pigs' trotters together."

"Okay, you can arrange it, by the way, what do you think of braised peanuts?"

This is also a good dish to accompany the wine, there are those who are reluctant to buy braised peanuts, you can buy some braised peanuts back, anyway, the taste is the same.

Braised peanuts will definitely be sold cheaper than other braised peanuts.

"Yes, yes, add braised peanuts too, you prepare the ingredients, and your mother will do it, you are still young, and you will sleep more in the morning."

The more Zhang thought about it, the happier he became.

A few of them are old and weak women and children in the eyes of others, there is no man to stand up to the door, and I don't know how many people are watching jokes around.

She didn't want to move around with the people around her.

Now that feng shui is taking turns, how many families in the neighborhood earn more than her family every day?

"It's hard work."

"My mother is not hard, my mother is very happy."

......

Following.

Zhang's got up early to make breakfast, and Mrs. Xie went out to get the pig that was ordered yesterday to go into the water.

The morning market is bustling, and hard-working people get up early to work.

The early bird gets the worm, and the early bird can buy better and fresher meat.

After Mrs. Xie arrived, she waited for a while before arriving at her.

"Butcher Zhou, I'll take the pig ordered yesterday into the water, by the way, I also want all the pig's trotters on your stall."

After Xie Pozi finished speaking, she took out the silver and said good things in advance, she didn't think there would be any mistakes.

As a result, she took out the money and handed it to the Zhou butcher, but the other party was hesitant and didn't accept it.

"What's the matter with you, take the money, don't want the money?"

Xie Pozi felt that this person was a little stupid today, and he didn't put it away when he saw the money.

"Auntie, this... It is... ”

Zhou Butcher swallowed and vomited for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence, and he also had a weak expression on his face, and he didn't dare to look at Mrs. Xie.

"No, Butcher Zhou, what the hell do you mean? Something to say, what does a big man look like. ”

A butcher, so big, making such a appearance, is not a woman.

Zhou Butcher opened his mouth for a long time, but he was still embarrassed to say it.

At this time, Zhou's butcher's daughter-in-law, Zheng, came over.

pulled Zhou Butcher behind him and answered: "Auntie is here, this man is stupid." I'll have it for you when the pig goes into the water, and I'll get it for you. ”

"Well, go ahead, I want all the trotters on this board. Give money together. ”

"Okay, auntie, it's going to be right away, it's going to be good right away."

The Zheng family is overjoyed, this woman bought everything that is not easy to sell, can you not like it.

Immediately went to the back of the house, and took out all the prepared pigs in the water and the pig's heads.

"Auntie, take it, a total of seventy-two articles."

Xie Pozi's hand to hand over the money slammed suddenly, and then took it back.

"Do you think I'm old and confused? There are a lot of things in this pile, but what are the parts, can you not know? ”

"Even if you add four pig's trotters, it won't cost seventy-two words."

The more Xie Pozi talked, the more angry he became, there were so many copper plates in this good place, this person really did it.

Zhou Butcher was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, and called his mother-in-law, wanting her to accept it when she saw it.

But where is Zheng willing.

She secretly went to Xie's stall to see it, and the business was good, and at the end of the day, she might earn more than her family.

And she also inquired with people in the neighborhood that the family could sell more than half of their belongings every day at noon.

The popular lo-mei is made with her family's pig water and pig's head.

"How can it, auntie, look at it, this pig goes into the water for fifteen wen, the pig's head is twenty-five wen, four pig's trotters, thirty-two wen, isn't it seventy-two. Right? ”

"I've dressed you the things, you can take them."

Zheng said naturally, without mentioning the sudden price increase.

"No, haven't you always been ten pennies when the pig goes into the water? There is also a pig's head, the last time I bought it was twenty Wen. ”

"Why are you so dishonest in business? I just saw it on the side, and pork is the same price on weekdays. It doesn't make sense that you can increase the price of these things that are not easy to sell on weekdays. ”

Xie Pozi said angrily.

She didn't expect to come over today to get something like this, but she just paid attention to the price given by others to buy meat.

Otherwise, wouldn't you be cheated for nothing?

Seeing Mrs. Xie's attitude, Zheng Shi was not in a hurry. "Auntie, isn't this the Midyear Festival coming soon? Many people want to take the pig's head to worship, but the price will rise. ”

"As for the pig in the water, although it is not as good as the meat, the poor will also buy it for the tooth sacrifice."

"When my man sold it before, I didn't pay attention, otherwise it wouldn't have been sold for only ten yuan."

"You're taking advantage of it."
