Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 64 Spare Ribs
Going south from Shouling County, over two mountains, at a distance of more than thirty li, there is a small county town named Ancheng.

There is an ancient wharf in Ancheng, which has a history of [-] years and is still prosperous. There are dozens of large and small boats moored at the ferry every day, and it is very lively.

Today, the pier is especially lively. Because an official ship is moored and escorted by the imperial navy, many merchant ships are also moored here. If you can borrow the spring breeze from the official ship on the way, it will be a godsend for these merchant ships. It's a great thing, I don't know how much I can save by just 'toll fees'.

In the Salesian's Home opposite the pier, a dozen children from four to five years old to eleven or twelve years old were sitting around a cauldron.

The pot was bubbling and bubbling, and the aroma came out of the yard, attracting countless passers-by outside.

A group of children stared at the cauldron while muttering and drooling wildly, ready to move.

These children are all orphans without parents and relatives, and they have rarely been so lively since they were young.

Gu Xiang smiled and fished out a large piece of marinated pork ribs from the pot with a spoon. The color was full and the soup was thick. With a flick of the kitchen knife, he chopped it off neatly. With the blade of the knife cutting off the tendons, the skin of the meat bounced gently. Move, trembling under the dense steam.

Gum!

Gu Xiang smiled, picked up the cut meat with a knife, and poured the juice of the meat on the half-dry rice, the heat flew up and the fragrance diffused.

The children's saliva is flooding.

Gu Xiang smiled and handed over the bowl and spoon, the little doll swallowed a whole spoonful of rice and meat, the meat was bitten off between his lips and teeth, and turned into juice and poured into his throat...

"smell good."

Pedestrians outside stopped and looked around. The children were biting the meat with big mouthfuls, the juice stained their lips, and their cheeks were rosy and satisfied. It really made people hungry at a glance.

Gu Xiang beckoned, and asked a few dolls to bring over the prepared small bamboo tubes, put a reed leaf in one bamboo tube, scoop out a large piece of meat steak and pour the gravy, put it in the bamboo basket, and put it next to it Palm-sized sesame cakes.

"Go. Come back and give you extra meals."

……

The wind blew softly, and the fallen leaves fluttered. Accompanied by the occasional trumpets sounding by the river, Lei Shi looked a little sad.

Liu Xing followed closely behind his sister-in-law, muttering non-stop: "Sister-in-law, you really can't drink those messy bitter medicine soup anymore, my brother has been angry for several days, my brother can't stand it .”

Every time his brother gets angry, he avoids his sister-in-law, but always treats him as a punching bag.

Hey, being a younger brother is hard!
Lei Shi raised her hand and touched her face. She was 41 years old.It is said that some people who are over fifty years old still want to give birth to pearls and Lin'er... so is there hope for her?
"Madam, I wish you good luck."

Lei Shi was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw that he had already taken a seat. Looking at the little girl who was only as high as her waist, his heart suddenly softened, and he reached out to take the bamboo tube and sesame cake.

The maid beside him quickly handed over the money.

Liu Jing also followed suit and bought a tube.

As soon as I got the things, someone from behind urged: "Hurry up, it's my turn, it's my turn."

Leishi involuntarily took a few steps to the side, only to realize when he turned around that in the blink of an eye, the long queue in front of the salesman's home had spread to the end of the street in a winding manner.

She blinked, seeing the little girl looking at her earnestly, she said in a low voice with a bit of complacency: "You taste it while it's hot, it's very good."

The child is so cute.

Unable to refuse the girl's kindness, Lei Shi stretched out his hand to open the bamboo tube, and in an instant, the aroma rushed to his face. Lei Shi blinked, lowered his head slightly, and saw a large piece of pork with an attractive color inside.

Since she turned 35, she cherishes blessings and preserves her health. She eats a lot of vegetarian food. She hasn’t tasted meat for a long time. With slightly trembling flesh, she suddenly had an appetite.

Leishi picked up the simple bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and bit it lightly, his body stopped immediately, the meat melted in his mouth, the juice rolled on the tip of his tongue, and the strong aroma seemed to touch the already stiff taste buds instantly.

She suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago.

At that time, she had been doing embroidery for two full months, and she earned money to buy pens and ink for Ziming. She passed by a butcher shop and couldn't help it. She bought a small piece of pork and went home, cooked it carefully, and gave it to Ziming. Bright.

Ziming, however, was reluctant to eat, and fed her mouthfuls, and he was only willing to drink a little soup.

The meat at that time seemed to be so sweet.

Since when did she feel anxious and often sleepless at night?
Since when did she have nothing to say to Ziming, and the two of them could only look at each other in silence?

Lei Shi's eyes were faintly red, he sighed, wiped away the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, and began to eat the meat in big mouthfuls.

When she came back to her senses, she looked up and saw her little uncle was still holding the bamboo tube in his hand, desperately stuffing meat into his mouth, and the people had already rushed to the back to line up again, and couldn't help laughing: "This child!"

A bamboo tube, three or four pieces of meat the size of a thumb, served with a sesame cake, priced at eight yuan.

Naturally, the price is not very low, and there are plenty of ingredients available. The sesame cakes are also crispy and delicious. Once you eat a few bites, no one will think it's worthless.

The money earned from this business is used for the expenses of the sales center. Although Ancheng is small, it is not poor by the docks. Every family of rich and noble people goes to Buddhist temples every year, and Taoist temples donate money. Buying meat at this time is also doing good deeds. There is a sense of satisfaction in our hearts, not to mention that the taste of this meat is so good, everyone feels less expensive.

The bamboo tubes were sold out in the blink of an eye, and the diners who couldn't buy them became more and more greedy when they smelled the fragrance, and they were very unwilling.

As for what I bought, facing the salivating eyes of others, I suddenly felt that I didn't buy food, but took a huge advantage, and my heart was very ironic.

Gu Xiang looked up inadvertently, and happened to meet Shang Lei's eyes full of tenderness and love, followed her gaze, and saw Liu Jing.

Every time Lei went to a place, he would go to pay homage to well-known Taoist temples and temples, and if he came across a sales home, he would definitely visit the door.

Gu Xiang and the others were not slow in their journeys. They arrived a few days earlier, and when they saw that the official ship had not arrived, they simply settled in the Salesian's House. The Salesian's House was funded by a big family in Ancheng in the past. In the past two years, there have been many natural disasters, and business has been difficult. , the funds of the Salesian were somewhat short.

These children often go to sell sherbet, bake cakes and other things to earn a certain amount of money. Seeing that they are all very sensible, Gu Xiang couldn't help but start their old business, and even started the catering business that has never really taken shape. up.

Business was so good that she almost forgot about business.

But fortunately, I saw Lei Shi and Liu Xing.

Starting from these two people, we must find a chance to meet Liu Huang as soon as possible.

It's time for the old dog and the others to act as planned.

Since Liu Jing yearns for Jianghu, then give him a magnificent Jianghu story that is enough to arouse all his curiosity.
