The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 220 Buying Meat
Sending away the contented Ning Zhongshi, Ning frowned when she saw Su Yunduo turned around to enter the study.

The amount of jerky and meat floss that Ning Zhongshi wanted was not small, so why was Su Yunduo not in a hurry?

Shouldn't you go to the kitchen to make dried meat and floss? She came into the study for a few reasons, but she knew that Su Yunduo was not a child without success. Although she was anxious, she didn't show it. She just held Su Yunduo and said: "Duoduo, since your uncle has ordered so many goods, you will only concentrate on making dried meat floss from now on, and you can leave the family affairs alone for the time being. The vegetables from Zuixianlou will be wrapped by your mother and your cousin."

Su Yunduo was slightly taken aback for a moment, and soon smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother, I know what's in my heart. After I have sorted out these books, I will go to Uncle Liu's house to see if there is any good meat. If there is any, I will buy it today." You can do it now. If not, please Uncle Liu will send two hind legs every day starting from tomorrow. There are me, Zisu, and sister-in-law Chun. Within three days, I will keep the jerky and meat floss that my uncle needs. come out."

Embarrassed, Ning smoothed Su Yunduo's hair that was blown away by the wind and said: "Mother believes in you, but don't worry too much, you have to take care of yourself."

"Understood, mother! Last time I was thinking about it, so I rushed to work day and night. This time and in the future, I won't be able to, but I will definitely finish the work of uncle's goods as soon as possible." Su Yunduo naturally Knowing what Ning's words implied, she felt a little ashamed.

In mid-October, in order to rush to make jerky and meat floss to be sent to the border, Su Yunduo took Zisu and the cook, who were still the sergeants, and had to work almost every day until the third watch before resting, and the sudden drop in temperature, The result of the two collisions was that the wind and cold entered the body and the high fever persisted. The old doctor poured bitter medicine for several days before he finally recovered.

Not to mention scaring Ning, even Su Yunduo herself was frightened. It has been a whole year since she came to this time and space, and that was the first time she got sick.

When Lu Jinkang got the news, he immediately got up in Geshan Village, and gave Zisu a good meal. If it wasn't for Su Yunduo's sick appearance at that time, he might have scolded her.

Although Lu Jinkang wished he could make hundreds of catties of jerky and meat floss in one day, Su Yunduo, who was exhausted from the case, as well as the cooks and sergeants who participated in the production, all looked tired, and knew the reason why they couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry , forced everyone to rest for a day, and at the same time stipulated that work must be done at three o'clock every day.

An illness did make Su Yunduo understand that everyone is not made of iron, and that illness is the real delay. After an illness, at least five days will be delayed. If everyone delays for five days, let alone overfulfill the task, this batch of dried meat It is hard to say whether the quality and quantity of meat floss can be delivered on time.

Ning's mood at the moment is very contradictory. She not only hopes that Su Yunduo can hurry up and ship as soon as possible, but also worries that Su Yunduo will hurt his body again because of rushing to work.

From Ning Zhongshi's words and deeds today, the Ning family can see that the market for jerky and meat floss is very good, and it may be possible to drive the Ning family's business through jerky and meat floss.

Now that my family's life is getting better, I hope that I can take care of my mother's family. If the business of dried meat floss can be started, my mother's family's life can be improved, and my parents' life can be happier. Ning's daughter You can also feel more at ease.

After Su Chengzhi and Su Yunduo came back from Fucheng, they both talked with her about the Su family in the capital. Although what Su Chengzhi said was a bit secretive, Su Yunduo was very straightforward, so Ning knew that even if Su Chengzhi was not in the middle of the spring, they Sooner or later, the family will go to the capital.

Going to the capital is farther away from parents, not to mention taking care of parents, it is difficult to meet each other.

This is also the reason why Ning hoped that Su Yunduo would faithfully supply Ning as soon as possible.

Although Ning has never done business, the grocery store at home is hereditary. Under her influence, she still knows some business tricks.

Since Su Yunduo can make jerky and floss with his imagination, it means that the production process is not difficult. Maybe there will be other jerky and floss in the market soon, and only by being ahead of others can he make money.

Fortunately, Su Yunduo didn't worry Ning, she didn't stay in the study for too long, and soon took Zisu to Uncle Liu's house.

Fourth Uncle Liu is the only butcher and meat seller in the neighborhood. Apart from raising some pigs at home, he collects and slaughters pigs in nearby villages on weekdays. There is a pork shop in Linxi Town, and he usually comes home in the middle of the afternoon. The unsold pork will naturally be brought back and sold to the folks in the village at a lower price.

When Su Yunduo arrived at Fourth Uncle Liu's house with Zisu, he was unloading goods from the bullock cart with his eldest son who was as strong as himself. She wiped her hands and said, "Young girl Yunduo wants to buy meat? It happens that she still has a hind leg that hasn't been moved. Do you agree with it?"

As he spoke, he turned to his elder son and shouted: "Daniu, quickly bring that hind leg over and show it to you, Sister Yunduo!"

"Okay." Liu Daniu sang, leaned forward and lifted a leg off the bullock cart.

When Su Yunduo saw it, it was indeed a pig's hind leg, weighing about five to sixty catties.

Uncle Liu took the pig leg from Liu Daniu's hand, put his hand on the stone table, patted it vigorously, and said with some regret and pride: "This pig is raised by myself. If you kill it again, you will eat so much and grow fast. Even if you continue to raise it, it will only waste food and not grow.

I killed it cruelly today, but I didn't expect that the pig was too big, and it still weighed two hundred catties after killing it. Today is neither a big market nor anyone to do business, so this hind leg is left. "

Su Yunduo reached out and pressed the pork leg, and then patted it lightly. He was very satisfied with the meat quality of this pork leg: "I want this leg, it's still the same as before, please help fourth uncle to remove the bone."

Uncle Liu was very happy when he heard that Su Yunduo wanted this pork leg. Although the weather is not afraid of the pork leg going bad, even if his pig is fattened, the hind leg meat is still despised by others. Only the hind legs, but he lowered the price and managed to sell them out.

If Su Yunduo couldn't come here today, he was going to ask the wife at home to marinate this leg, so as not to take it to the town tomorrow and still not be able to sell it.

This hind leg weighed 56 catties and three taels. Uncle Liu went to change and only charged Su Yunduo 56 catties. Uncle Liu was even going to sell it to Su Yunduo at [-] Wen per catty.

Naturally, Su Yunduo didn't want to take advantage of this, so he insisted on asking Zisu to give him a tael of silver plus four hundred copper coins at the price of 25 Wen a catty. Follow him to wipe the change.

Fourth Aunt Liu, who originally had an uneasy face because of Fourth Uncle Liu's automatic price reduction, smiled instantly, took the broken silver, bit it, put it away in satisfaction, and then counted the copper coins carefully, and then she was happy when she counted. back to the house.

Fourth Uncle Liu frowned, and in the end he didn't say anything. His mother-in-law has always been like this, and I'm afraid she won't be able to change it in this life. He thought to himself, but the movements of his hands were not slow, and soon a whole pig's leg would be gone. The flesh and blood were separated.

Make an appointment with Fourth Uncle Liu for the meat needed for the next two days, and Su Yunduo has to pay a deposit. This time, Fourth Aunt Liu rushed to say: "Father, the deposit should be waived. Even if we don't trust others, we can still distrust girl Yunduo." ?"

Ever since Su Yunduo came back from Fucheng, she has become a big customer of Liu's butcher shop, Fourth Aunt Liu is clearly showing her favor.

Since Fourth Aunt Liu was so kind, Su Yunduo didn't force her anymore, and asked Zisu to put away her purse, and the two of them picked up the meat and prepared to go home.

"Daniu, hurry up and send the meat home for Sister Yunduo, it's really a waste of time to grow up this big man, when will I be smarter!" Fourth Aunt Liu glared at Liu Daniu and reprimanded lightly.

Liu Daniu let out a foolish laugh, took the separated pork thigh from Su Yunduo and Zisu as soon as he stretched out his hand, and strode away.

Su Yunduo shook his head with a smile, and hurriedly bid farewell to Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu. Although both Zisu and Zisu were empty-handed, they still had to trot to keep up with Liu Daniu.
