Chapter 45 Daily Life
Bieye tasted another dish of shredded pork belly with red pepper in cold sauce. It tasted crispy and refreshing. He couldn't help but eat faster than usual. Fortunately, he used a bowl for eating, otherwise he would have eaten it all in a while.

Halfway through eating, Gu Rao brought out a large bowl of sauerkraut soup.

"Drink the soup before eating next time, so that you can digest better."

Bieye raised his hand to take the soup bowl and took a sip.

"it is good."

Then put the soup bowl on the vacant place next to the pork and continue eating.

Seeing how delicious he was eating, Gu Rao also had a happy smile on his face.

"Today's dishes are very heavy, so I specially steamed some extra rice. After eating in the bowl, I put it in the pot. There are still a lot of dishes, and I can't finish them by myself."

Bie Ye nodded.

"Ah."

"You go in and eat, don't worry about me, be careful that the food will get cold later."

Gu Rao was about to go back.

The man finally couldn't bear it anymore, called Gu Rao to stop, and asked, "Ma'am, what are you frying? I can tell it's meat, but I can't tell what kind of meat it is, and the taste is too fragrant."

Gu Rao smiled and said, "It's the meat from the wild boar. If you like it, you can buy more and cook it."

The man looked regretful.

"My daughter-in-law's cooking skills, I know in my heart, they can't be fried so delicious." After thinking about it, he said, "Then bring me a catty of pork, and buy two piglets."

Bieye put down the bowls and chopsticks, weighed out a catty of wild pork, and said, "These little piglets are all about fifteen catties, and the price is thirty yuan per catty."

"Do you choose by yourself or should I help you take two and weigh them?"

The man said, "Let me choose."

Two lively-looking boars were quickly picked.

Bie Ye weighed the two pigs.

"One is exactly fifteen catties, and the other is sixteen catties and six taels."

Gu Rao calculated the price and said, "A 450-pound piglet costs 490 Wen, and a 940-jin six-liang piglet costs [-] Bawen, a total of [-] Bawen."

"Including a catty of 38 Wen wild pork, the total is 980 Liu Wen. If you buy too much, we will wipe off the change for you, and just give 980 Wen."

The man didn't expect that he didn't need to bargain by himself, so the lady boss gave him six yuan less. She was quite good at doing business, and she felt at ease, and decided to take care of the business more in the future.

He took the money bag from his waist and gave him a silver ingot of one tael.

"I don't have enough loose money, find more for me."

Gu Rao took the money.

"it is good."

Gave him twenty coins in change.

The big man came to the market with a basket on his back, so it was convenient to put the piglets and wild pork in the basket at the moment, and he put the piglets and pork in the basket, and he was about to leave with the basket on his back.

Bie Ye said, "Our family will start a food business in the future. If you like our food, you can come and taste it when you have time."

The big man's eyes lit up.

"Is there anything you ate?"

Gu Rao made a farewell answer.

"We plan to do business at home. The yard is not very big, and two people can't handle it. Therefore, we don't plan to do cooking business for the time being. When the business of casserole and rice noodles improves, we can set up a shop and hire a man. Will consider doing cooking business.”

The big man was a little disappointed when he heard this.

He has never heard of casserole rice noodles, and he has no interest at all. He just wants to eat the delicious food that makes people drool uncontrollably.

Gu Rao continued, "In addition to casserole rice noodles, there will also be boiled rice noodles and noodles for sale. The whistle used will not be worse than the stir-fried dishes just now."

The big man nodded.

"When will you open? At that time, I will bring a few brothers to join us."

Gu Rao said, "Three days later."

The big man left with satisfaction.

After lunch, Bie Ye wanted to take the initiative to wash the dishes, but Gu Rao drove him out of the kitchen, and quickly cleaned the dishes by himself.

Then wash the pig hair in the yard, after washing the pig hair, continue to spread it on the cleaned stone steps to dry.

He went upstairs again and put the clothes that Bieye changed yesterday and the clothes he changed this morning into a wooden tub, and carried them down to the stone laundry table in the yard.

First use a piece of rag to block the opening of the hole, then pour the clothes on the stone platform, pour a bucket of cold water to soak, and then go back to the house and take an apron to wear on the body to prevent the new clothes on the body from being soiled.

Gu Rao used to be too lazy to do these housework, but now she accepts her fate, knowing that she will live here in the future, these things will be done sooner or later.

Once you have accepted your future destiny, it is very energetic to do these trivial things.

She washed her bellyband first, made foam with acacia locusts, and then scrubbed it lightly. When the rubbing was almost done, she rinsed it with clean water several times, put it aside, and then took out her and Bieye's underwear while scrubbing Hit with a mallet.

Bieye's outer shirt was the last to be washed, and he hadn't changed his clothes for so many days on the mountain, and he was shuttled between the mountains and forests all day, so the degree of filthiness of the clothes can be imagined.

After washing, the water was cloudy.

Gu Rao drained the sewage, then poured in a bucket of water to wash all the clothes, the water was still a bit dirty, so she continued to drain the water and rinse again.

After repeated washing in this way three times, the water for washing clothes was finally clear.

Gu Rao wrung out the clothes one by one and hung them to dry on the hemp rope tied between the two pillars. It took many rounds to dry all the clothes.

After doing all this, he stood in the yard and hammered his sore waist with his fist.

He looked up at the sky.

It's time to make dinner.

Originally, I wanted to clean the inside and outside again, but it seems that I can only postpone these tasks until tomorrow.

Gu Rao came to the door and asked, "How's the sale going?"

Bie Ye smiled and said, "There is one pheasant and one hare each, two piglets, and 25 catties of wild pork, but the gray fox has sold them all."

Gu Rao was also a little happy when he heard this.

"How much did the fox sell for?"

Bie Ye said truthfully, "I have also hunted many foxes before, and I sold them all to Yunlailou at a price of [-] Wen each. Just now a housekeeper from a rich family came and sold them for [-] Wen. The price of one was taken away, and five foxes were sold for fifteen hundred cash."

"He said there will be more next time, and it will be delivered directly to their house."

Gu Rao, "..."

It seems that Zhou Zheng has tricked Bie Ye a lot.

There is really no need to continue to cooperate with such a person, and it is a good thing to break up. Although selling the prey by myself this time is useless, the profit is much more than selling it to Yunlailou.

"I'm going to make dinner, is there anything you want to eat?"

Bieye shook his head.

"I can eat whatever I want." After hesitating for a while, he still said, "I'm not hungry yet, I'll make dinner when I sell out of these."

"You've been tired all day."

When she was washing clothes just now, he wanted to help her and take care of the stall, but she refused because she didn't want to cut the pork.

Gu Rao was indeed a bit tired. After listening to Bie Ye's concern, he felt that he was not as tired as before. He smiled and said, "Haven't you been tired all day?"

"It's not that tiring to cook, so let me do it."

"You guard the stall first, and then sell it for a while. If you can't sell it, let's keep it for ourselves. If you can't finish it, you can make it into bacon."

"As for those two little piggies..."

Do you really want to feed yourself?
