MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 129
There were a lot of people gathered in front of the second bedroom of the Shen family. As long as the family didn't live much, they all came to watch the fun. Because meat was sold cheaply, there were people with money in their hands and copper in their arms.
Wei Lanxiang laughed loudly, her face creased with joy, and while washing, she raised her head and laughed with the village women: "Miss Zhou, this can't be in a hurry, you have to do it again after one wash, if you're really in a hurry, come too. Help, wash which piece of meat you like."
When Aunt Zhou heard this, she rolled up her sleeves and said with a smile: "This is what you said. I chose it myself, so don't renege on your debt."
"Look at what you said, I said everything, you can choose." Wei Lanxiang laughed at her.
There were many women and husbands who were watching, and when they heard that they could wash their choice, they rolled up their sleeves and squatted over, rushing to pick the fat and fat meat to wash, and all of a sudden they were vying for it.
"Auntie, auntie, put it down quickly, it's hurting you, isn't it?" Shen Yaoqing quickly smoothed things out and said, "Auntie and grandma are kind enough to help with the washing, but you can't quarrel over a piece of meat. Besides, the meat is so big that the family can't buy it all. It must be sold separately at times, but it doesn’t have to be.”
"It's up to us to do this after washing the meat." He smiled and said, "Aunts and grandmas take a break first."
"I'm not joking with Lanxiang, you two are in a hurry, don't be blushing, be happy, go home in the afternoon and make a meal of meat, better than anything else." Aunt Zhou confronted the two competing for meat The woman said, and also helped to persuade a few words.
Wei Lanxiang knew that she had made a slip of the tongue. How could business make customers feel uncomfortable, so she hurriedly called Lu Gu: "Guzi, get your aunt a stool and let him sit and take a breath, it's a hot day."
"Got it, mother." Lu Gu got up and went to the yard to get a stool, took one out of his hand, and said obediently, "Auntie, sit down and rest."
The two women didn't like each other. After they sat down, whoever ignored the other and stayed far away. Wei Lanxiang gave Quan Ziniang and Aunt Miao a wink, and Quan Ziniang and Aunt Miao each pulled a woman Laughing and talking, the unhappiness just now was finally fooled, and the crowd became lively again.
"Guzi, you and Shen Yan go to feed the dogs and rabbits first, we are here."
Wei Lanxiang didn't forget the livestock in the new house. It was too late to cut more grass this morning. Only she and Lu Gu gathered half a basket of fresh grass when digging for good grass. They can feed the rabbits. Fortunately, there is sun in the house over there. Hay, as well as grain bran and wheat bran, are enough to deal with a meal of cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.
Lu Gushou came out of the wooden basin and wiped the water marks on his hands. He was watching the house over there in the white night. He must be hungry now.
"Wait, bring this to Da Bai to eat." Shen Xuanqing said, there was a broken bowl at his feet, and inside was the meat residue that fell from the meat.
Wei Lanxiang felt distressed about the meat and picked it up from the ground. After washing the large pieces of meat, she washed it twice with good grass water.
Shen Xuanqing didn't move the meat residue, and took a piece of meat that had been gouged out from the neck wound of the wild boar from the bowl. He had washed it once, and now scooped out half a scoop of good grass water from the wooden bucket and rubbed and rinsed it. Yes, I washed it again before handing it to Lu Gu.
The meat is a little less, and it is good to give Dabai a tooth sacrifice.
Shen Yan went to the courtyard and carried the grass basket on his back. The meat was greasy in his hands, so Lu Gu put the meat in the basket. There were cold steamed buns in the new house. The meat and steamed buns were fed together, and they would never be hungry.
The good boy followed behind the two of them and barked, begging for food as soon as he heard it. When he was just killing pigs, he drove the dogs aside. Just like people, they had to wait until they were washed before they could eat meat.
Lu Gu was walking when the boy behind him grabbed the hem of his clothes. He pulled the clothes out of the boy's mouth, but reluctantly touched the dog's head and whispered, "There must be something for you to eat, Dabai is hungry, hold on to it first. , the meat in the back is washed, and even the bones and sticks are for you to eat."
When I woke up in the morning, I had fed them. Because I was busy killing pigs and washing meat, I didn't pay attention to Da Bai in the new house. Now I must have it padded first.
Even if he knew that the good boy couldn't understand, Shen Yan should be at the side and said: "Yes, you have eaten it all."
As soon as the two walked to the door of the new house, they heard Dabai barking across a door. Lu Gu unlocked the door, and Dabai waved his tail to welcome him out, because he was very hungry when he was hungry.
Shen Yan threw the meat to it, Dabai devoured it with his head down, and the good boy squatted beside him and stared, wanting to sneak a bite, but Dabai roared back fiercely.
The dog at home was trained by Shen Xuanqing, but he didn't protect people's food. Lu Gu knew that Dabai was very hungry, so as long as he didn't fight, he didn't care about it. , broke it apart and threw it into the dog food bowl, and also lost a piece to the good boy.
The boy jumped up and caught the steamed bun in the air, but he spit it out after taking a bite, obviously not interested in the steamed bun.
Seeing it like this, Lu Gu didn't care, and went to the backyard with Shen Yan to feed the livestock.
When the two of them locked the door and returned to the old house, Zhou Xiangjun and Shen Shunwang also came over to help wash the meat a second time.
The nearly 200 kilograms of meat was finally washed. Before the sale, Shen Xuanqing cut a bit of raw meat with a knife and chewed it in his mouth for a while. There was no numbness on the tip of his tongue. Teach him how to eat meat without numbness after tasting it.
Seeing him nodding, Wei Lanxiang was overjoyed and said to the crowd, "It's down."
The cutting board is the most convenient way to cut meat. They carried the two large wooden basins and the two small wooden basins in. The cutting board was vacated by Ji Qiuyue, and there was nothing else.
Shen Xuanqing used a big iron hook to hook the meat in the big wooden basin, picked it up and threw it on the chopping board. Without him asking, Lin Jinhu's wife, who was the first to squeeze into the kitchen, hurriedly said, "Cut me two pounds."
Buying meat elsewhere is only 20 cents a pound. Today, it is 20 cents and 2 catties. It’s better to eat more while it’s cheaper.
Wei Lanxiang took the scale out of the room early in the morning. When Lu Gu used a long needle and twine to thread the meat, she took it and hung it on the scale hook. After measuring, she said to Lin Jinhu's wife who was watching the scale together: " A couple of taels more, to see how high the scale is."
"More is more." Shen Xuanqing said, looking at the crowd at the door of the kitchen again, the crowd in front quickly said how much he wanted.
He was quite accurate, and more than one or two taels was not a big problem. Wei Lanxiang had to listen to him and did not charge more than one or two taels.
The kitchen and yard were lively and lively. Shen Yaoqing cut off the pig's head outside the door, and the pig's ears were cut off. He put it away and didn't sell it.
Selling pork at home is new to Lu Gu. Usually, only they go to Meng Dayue's house or the butcher shop in town to buy it. They haven't done this business themselves.
There are not many people in Qingxi Village, they look like forty households, the rich ones buy more, the others are mostly like two or three kilograms, and the poor can only look in front of the door, they can't afford it at all, nearly two hundred Naturally, we can’t sell all the jins of meat. Fortunately, several neighboring villages heard about such cheap wild boar and came to buy it with suspicion. People came in and out all day, and it was quite busy.
Because Shen Xuanqing went out and said that half a catty of meat was also sold, in the afternoon Lu Gu was cutting vegetables on a small table pier when he saw Chen Dongdong enter the door.
"Brother Dong." He said with a smile.
"Guzi, I'm here to buy meat." Chen Dongdong glanced at the good boy who came to sniff him, knowing that he wouldn't bite him, he continued to walk in. He held five copper plates in his hand, pursed his lips and said embarrassedly: "Wuwen of."
"Okay, I'll call Erqing to cut it for you." Lu Gu put down his kitchen knife, shouted to the back hall, and went into the kitchen to lift off the clean linen covering the meat.
Hearing Chen Dongdong said that he wanted half a catty of meat, Shen Xuanqing didn't mean to look down on him. He had a good relationship with He Zhi. Wear the meat with twine so that you can carry it back with the twine.
The extra three taels of Chen Dongdong on the scale can be clearly seen. He hesitated when receiving the meat, and his eyes were also apprehensive.
Seeing him like this, Shen Xuanqing probably knew He Zhi's sullen nature, and said, "Go back and tell Zhizi that after a day of selling, there is too much meat to be sold, and after a day or two, it will be rotten and smelly and have to be thrown away, and then It's not much, I'll go to him for a drink tomorrow, and let him prepare the snacks for me."
"Well, I'll tell him." Chen Dongdong said it honestly, because Shen Xuanqing was a man, he didn't dare to say more, he just nodded to indicate that he had written it down, and then said to Lu Gu, and went home with the meat.
Shen Xuanqing covered the meat with sackcloth, and moved the livestock to the new house this year. There were significantly fewer flies in the house, and it was much cleaner than in previous years.
The flies could smell the meat, but luckily there were sackcloths blocking them, so they could only let the cloth fall down, and they couldn't catch up.
The wild boar head was bought by Huang Zhenchuan and a few people. The remaining pair of pig ears and pig teeth were left, and the pig ears, heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys were marinated together. After cutting them, they can be eaten cold. It is the most refreshing in summer.
The intestines, Wei Lanxiang, were not willing to throw them away. Soak them in water for an hour or two, then wash them and stir-fry them with chili peppers.
A few years ago, when she returned to her mother's house, she got a recipe for braised pork from an old relative there. Even though the ingredients at home were not complete, she had to go to the town to buy it. She tried braised pork once two years ago, and it tasted good. Then something happened at home. I've never made these big meat dishes again, and I'm very happy this time. There are few people buying meat in the afternoon, so they took Shen Yan to the town to buy marinade, and I haven't come back yet.
The good boy was eating bones in the yard, he had already eaten the meat, and Shen Xuanqing fed him a lot in consideration of his contribution to hunting wild boars.
Lu Gu came out to cut vegetables again. Wei Lanxiang made the lunch. The spicy stewed wild pork was very good. The ingredients were so heavy that the taint in the male wild pork was covered. Some, stir-fry two vegetarian dishes.
Shen Xuanqing came out of the kitchen and said, "It's alright today, the pig's head sold for seventy-six dollars, and the meat and ribs and backbones for a total of eighty-sixty-three dollars. Mother went to town to buy marinade, and I'll take the seventy-six dollars. I gave her sixteen wen, and kept the money for the meat."
"Even sending relatives to sell, about 100 catties went out, and I estimate that the rest of the meat is still about 100 catties. There are few people in the village, so I and my eldest brother pulled a scooter to other villages to sell it. The hot weather is not good. Let it go, sell it as much as you want."
Lu Gu nodded and agreed: "Well, I'll wait for my mother to come back before cooking, and you and eldest brother also remember to come back in time for dinner."
Shen Xuanqing smiled and said, "I see."
After he finished speaking, he called Shen Yaoqing, and the two brothers worked together to lift the big wooden basin onto the trolley, carry the chopped meat pier onto it, and go out to sell with the scale and the long-needle hemp rope.
The two of them shouted loudly all the way, rushing around to earn money, and they didn't feel tired at all.
