Chapter 21, Buying Beef
Cattle are a lot of wealth, this death, and have to buy calves, fortunately this year there is no need for cattle, otherwise, if the work in the field is delayed, I am afraid that this year's grain income will be mysterious!
When she got home, Grandma He was distressed to death, and she complained to Zhengsong's mother-in-law.
The main thing is that she feels sorry for the cow, and Mei Xue can hear it.
But Mei Xue's thoughts are different, since the cow is dead, he must be killed, since this is the case.
"Grandma, do you say Uncle Zhengsong's beef is sold?"
Grandma He was taken aback by Mei Xue's words, and couldn't cry or laugh. "You kid. ”
scolded with a smile in his mouth, but he also answered Mei Xue's question seriously, "It must be sold, but I don't know if they plan to sell it themselves or find someone to collect it, there is not much beef that can be eaten at this time, so the gold is expensive." ”
Think about it, cattle are the main labor force of farmers, if it is not for illness and death, who will kill cattle and eat?
Loser.
"We'll go down and have a look in a moment. Mei Xue's eyes lit up.
Grandma He has no way to take her, her own, what should I do?
Pampered, who let her like it.
"Okay, let's cook, you're not hungry. ”
Breakfast is simple, you can eat the leftover rice from last night in the pot and stir-fry, and the dishes are also leftovers from last night.
All of them are placed in the wide well at the back, and they will not break overnight.
Mei Xue moved quickly, and breakfast was quickly ready.
"Grandma, it's time to eat. ”
Grandma He fed the pigs and chickens at home when Meixue was cooking, and her hands and feet were called a mali.
"It's coming. ”
After the meal, the mother-in-law and grandson went out to go down the mountain.
When they walked out, they happened to meet Aunt Xilian and Aunt Ting, and after looking at the basket they were holding, Mei Xue smiled.
"Aunt Xilian, Aunt Ting. ”
"Third aunt. ”
As soon as they met, everyone laughed and called people.
When she came to the door of Aunt Meilian's house, Aunt Meilian also walked out, also holding a basket in her hand.
"Yo, what kind of letter do you have?" Grandma He quipped with a smile.
"Third aunt, aren't you going to buy some? The Zhengsong family plans to sell it themselves. ”
Just a short time after breakfast, the letter spread throughout half the village.
There is still half of the village on the other side of the mountain, which cannot be transmitted.
"Just you. Grandma He calculated the money in her hand, and it was still okay to buy a few catties, "I don't buy much, so I don't need to take a basket." ”
Mei Xue didn't think so, she turned around and ran home, of course she had to take the basket, how could she let go of such a good opportunity.
Watching Mei Xue's movements, everyone laughed.
"Third aunt, Xiaoxue, this kid is good, he is capable. Aunt Ting looked at Mei Xue's back with a smile on her face.
When I heard someone praise her granddaughter-in-law, Grandma He was happier than anyone else, "That's not it, I don't see whose family it is." "That proud little lady is really a proud old lady.
"Yes, it's all the third aunt, you have a vision, and you chose a good daughter-in-law for An Ze. Aunt Xilian and Aunt Meilian also agreed.
"Let's go, we'll wait as we go. "Grandma He is a sensible person, it is impossible to drag them to wait for Xiaoxue here.
The four of them slowly walked down the mountain.
Mei Xue is a fast man, and she chased after them before they could go too far.
"Grandma. ”
"You kid, what are you doing with such a big basket?" Hearing Xiaoxue call herself, Grandma He glanced back at her.
When she saw the basket in her hand, it scared her old man.
It's not a problem to hold a dozen catties in this basket, but the problem is that she doesn't plan to buy a dozen catties, just buy a few catties or so, isn't it a shame to have such a big basket?
But it's not good to talk about her in front of outsiders.
"It's okay, this basket is empty at home. Mei Xue saw that her grandmother was uncomfortable.
Soon arrived at He Zhengsong's house, the cow was also dismembered, and all the meat and organs in it were taken out.
The ground was full of blood, and a smell of blood rushed to my nose.
Mei Xue hadn't smelled blood for a long time, and her whole spirit was shocked, she couldn't be blamed, and her habits for many years were not a temporary stability that could be revealed.
Mei Xue's reaction was felt the deepest, and it was Grandma He who took Mei Xue's hand urgently, "Don't be afraid." Comforted.
Mei Xue retracted her mind and smiled, "Grandma, I'm not afraid, so much meat, let's buy more." After speaking, Mei Xue took out a fifty from her pocket (space) and quietly handed it to her grandmother's palm.
Grandma He felt the thing in her hand, she picked it up and looked at it, and smiled, "You kid." "Outside, she is not easy to refuse, which makes people look so bad.
Besides, she knew that Xiaoxue wanted to eat beef, and the little money on herself...
"I bought it all for you. "Fifty yuan, that's a lot of money, and you can buy a lot of beef."
"Grandma, let's buy a beef shank. Mei Xue looked at the cow hanging there and said.
The hind leg meat of the cow is fat, and it is more fragrant when stewed.
There are also two thigh bones on the legs, and the soup boiled out is more nourishing.
Grandma He was half-joking, but she didn't think that Xiaoxue would take it seriously.
She couldn't laugh or cry either.
"So much meat is spoiled if you can't eat it, and you can't cry when the time comes. ”
"It's okay, we can make jerky. "She can do this job, she didn't know how much jerky she made back then, and the craftsmanship was unmatched.
"Will you?" "They are good at making some dried vegetables and everything in their village, and every household can do it, but not everyone knows how to do this jerky.
If it's not good, it's all wasted, and then it's a waste of money.
The main thing is poor, and I feel sorry for money.
"Yes, I learned it from my mother, and my mother is good at making jerky. Mei Xue didn't think about it, so she took out her deceased mother as a shield.
Thinking about the two members of the Mei family, they are indeed ingenious, "Cheng, grandma bought it for you." ”
Mei Xue didn't dare to step forward too much, for fear that she couldn't help but divide the body of the cow, so she stood far away.
She doesn't like those dirty meat or anything, and she doesn't like to eat them.
It's good to have meat, it's enough to have meat.
Aunt He's atmosphere frightened the people around her, and when she heard that her granddaughter-in-law could make jerky, everyone's eyes lit up.
They all stared at Mei Xue.
Some cheeky people came over and asked, "Third aunt's family, do you really know how to make jerky?"
What kind of person is Mei Xue, hehe, I want to hit her, no way, "I don't know much, but I can learn." "That's what I said.
All of a sudden, everyone was lost.
Especially those rich people love, they have the money to buy, but if they buy too much, they will be broken, and they are very happy to hear that someone can make jerky.
I didn't think about it, I still have to learn, forget it, they can't be so bad if they have money, right?
Grandma He was very happy with Mei Xue's reaction, those shameless things, they actually dared to beat her Xiaoxue's idea, they didn't want to live.
"Okay, okay, what are you doing around my Xiaoxue, let's make some of it ourselves, if it can really be done, then you give me the meat, and then you can take it away." ”
It's a craft, I'm embarrassed to learn from you, shameless thing.
