Chapter 43
The charming thoughts in Gu Rao's heart were broken by Bie Ye's actions, but he also knew that Bie Ye had good intentions and didn't really care about him.

Seeing the pig hair on the ground, I suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Collect these pig hairs and don't throw them away."

Bie Ye asked, "Is there any use?"

Gu Rao smiled and said, "It is troublesome to brush your teeth with wicker or twigs every day, and the toothbrush is not clean with those brushes. I plan to use these pig hairs to make more toothbrushes. If I can't use them up, I will make them into bigger brushes." , and then use it to brush dipping materials, or to do other things.”

Bie Ye was stunned.

"Brush your teeth with pig hair?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"Don't underestimate these pig hairs. After I make them, you will know the benefits of pig hair toothbrushes. In addition to making toothbrushes and other brushes, they can also be made into writing brushes."

"However, pig hair brushes are not worth much. You can keep them at home for your own use, or sell them at a low price."

"As long as the hair on the pig's back is hard, the brush made of it can be brushed cleanly. If it is too soft, don't use it."

Bie Ye said, "Okay."

"Wait for me, I'll collect the pig hairs, and then I'll go to the fire to heat up the meal, and then I'll have breakfast."

Gu Rao was a little surprised.

"You even made breakfast?"

Bie Ye hummed.

Gu Rao, "..."

It suddenly occurred to me last time, Bie Ye's 'astonishing' cooking skills.

I was a little hungry, but suddenly I was not hungry.

However, she didn't show her disapproval of Bie Ye's cooking skills, and she made up her mind that no matter how bad the food was, she would finish the bowl later.

Not only have to finish eating, but also praise him and motivate him, so that he will be more willing to cook in the future.

Cooking skills are not achieved overnight, but must be cultivated slowly.

In the future, I should find a chance to teach him by hand.

When he learns how to cook, someone will cook when she doesn't want to cook in the future, so that she won't have nothing to eat without her at home.

Gu Rao really likes to cook, and also likes others to finish the meals she cooks. It will give her a sense of accomplishment, but she doesn't want to spend all day in the kitchen and be a cook for the rest of her life.

If someone is willing to help her share, she will not refuse foolishly.

Gu Rao went to the kitchen. There were two covered dishes on the stove. She took off the top dishes. One was stir-fried cabbage and the other was potatoes and shredded pork.

The color looks fine.

Lift the lid of the pot, and inside is the polenta that has been boiled just right.

Gu Rao lit the fire to warm up the food and served it to the table. Bie Ye also just collected the pig hairs in the yard and spread them out on the stone steps under the eaves to dry.

Wash your hands and eat at the table.

Bie Ye first gave Gu Rao a chopstick of shredded potato and pork, and said with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, "Try it, I specifically asked Aunt Zhang how to cook, the taste of the dish this time should be okay. "

Gu Rao took a mouthful of porridge first, and then another mouthful of shredded potato meat. His eyes lit up slightly, and he gave Bie Ye a thumbs up.

"Great progress!"

"delicious!"

Although there is a little less salt and a little too much chili, it must be too salty to eat last time, and it is really good.

The corners of Bieye's mouth curled up.

"nice! You love it."

Gu Rao tasted the stir-fried cabbage again. Although the taste was light, the cabbage was delicious any way you fried it. This dish was quite to her liking.

It goes well with rice porridge.

After the meal, Gu Rao began to count wild pork. The experience of buying pork last time let her know that pig offal is not worth much in this era.

So, all left to eat at home.

The pig's offal weighed about twenty catties. I ate yesterday, plus some leftovers for myself, and the remaining wild pork to be sold was exactly ninety catties.

Bie Ye looked at Gu Rao's movements in puzzlement.

The smell of pig intestines is so strong that they are usually thrown away directly. Only poor people who can't afford meat will eat pig intestines with some oil and water.

He cleaned the pig's intestines by the way yesterday, just to give it away with pork on it.

Pork heart, liver, lungs and other internal organs also have a strong fishy smell. Few people like to eat them, and they are only eaten by poor people who cannot afford meat. They were originally brought in.

"Let's keep another [-] catties of pork. When these pigs enter the water, they can be given away."

Gu Rao was bending down to put the pork she wanted to keep and the pork she wanted to sell into two baskets respectively. Hearing this, she turned her head and smiled at Bie Ye, and explained, "Pig offal is delicious, wait until noon You will know when I cook a few dishes of pig offal for you."

Bie Ye nodded.

"it is good."

Gu Rao sorted the meat into categories, wiped his hands with a rag, and said to Bie Ye, "You can build two benches at the door first, and then build a wooden plank on top of the bench."

Bieye set up the long bench with high feet, but he searched all over the house but couldn't find any planks.

"I don't have a plank, can I use cloth?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"also."

"Then move the two benches closer together so that the meat doesn't fall on the ground."

After a busy meal, the couple finally arranged the ninety catties of pork to be sold in front of the door. Gu Rao also wrote the price of the pork on a piece of dusty cloth with a charcoal pen.

Wild pork costs 39 renminbi a catty, while pork ribs and hooves with bones cost 29 renminbi a catty.

At this time, there were already people coming and going on the street.

Gu Rao moved two chairs and said to Bie Ye who was standing, "Sit down and wait slowly, those who want to buy pork will stop by themselves."

Bie Ye was taken aback.

"Can this really be sold?"

Gu Rao raised an eyebrow.

"How did you sell prey before you cooperated with Yunlailou?"

Bie Ye said, "I will rent a piece of land on East Street, spread a piece of cloth on the ground, put the prey on the cloth, and wait for people to come to buy it. When there are few people, I will sell it."

In her previous life, Gu Rao was also experienced in setting up stalls.

But to set up a stall in that world, you only need to make the stall fancy, and just sit there and wait for the business.

Seeing that Gu Rao couldn't save face, Bie Ye smiled and said, "I can sell this little pork by myself, so go back to the house and rest."

Gu Rao shook his head.

"Together."

It happened that an old lady passed by, and Gu Rao asked enthusiastically, "Auntie, do you want to buy wild pork? The wild boar we just killed today is fresh, and it's a penny cheaper than wild pork elsewhere!"

Bie Ye turned to look at her.

Wasn't the pig killed last night?

Gu Rao didn't change his face, and continued to sell his own wild pork to the aunt. Seeing that the aunt was unmoved, she pointed to the basket next to her and said, "In addition to wild pork, there are also pheasants, hares, piglets and gray foxes."

The aunt finally stopped, and her eyes lingered on the lively little piggy for a while, then looked at the pheasant and the hare, and asked, "How much is a pheasant and a hare?"

Gu Rao smiled and said, "Originally the price of the pheasant is twenty cents a catty, and the price of the hare is five cents a catty. You are our first customer today. We want to make it auspicious. The pheasant is worth eighteen cents a catty for you." Jin, how about a hare for four cents a catty?"

The aunt also knows the market. After hearing the price quoted by Gu Rao, she knew that she hadn't lied to herself, and she was going to give her a cheap price...

Can't help but feel a little excited.

However, this is not a festival, so eating meat is too extravagant. If you have money to eat meat, why not buy some fabrics to make decent clothes for the children at home.
