After the separation, my wardrobe is modern

Chapter 5 Was the head kicked by the donkey?
The woman quickly put twenty bags of salt into a plastic bag and handed it to Lin Xiaoman, and asked, "Are you filming in the park? Why are you still wearing costumes?"

"I didn't have time to change it!" Lin Xiaoman replied vaguely.

I thought to myself: It seems that those people were singing a play about the disaster victims fleeing famine. This troupe is really rich, and they throw more than 300 steamed buns for one play.

Looking back to see if I can earn some more money to buy the clothes on my side, otherwise it would be inconvenient to ask people when I meet them.

Squeeze out of the crowd, and hide in the corner with Lin Erhu to look at the salt in the bag.

It was fine salt, whiter than the best they had ever had!
Weighing it by hand is not as much as a catty over there, but the money they earned just now is enough to buy two hundred bags of salt like this. The things here are really cheap!
Lin Erhu concluded, "Sister, the one yuan here should be about the same as the one penny we have there. But the things here are cheap, and the money is easy to earn. We will come here to earn money and buy things when we have nothing to do."

Lin Xiaoman also agreed, "When I first came here, I saw a lot of people selling mountain products with baskets. Later, we went up the mountain to look for what we could sell. It's a pity that we don't allow illegal salt sales there. When it comes time to go to jail, other things can be bought back and sold to others for money.”

Lin Erhu chuckled, "I went up to the mountain to cut firewood a few days ago, and saw a stick on the mountain. My father bought a stick for my mother to make soup, and a stick cost several taels of silver. I remember the place, and I will dig a few later. Sell ​​and see."

"It's fine, just go back and buy a few more catties of sugar and rice. You won't be hungry this winter."

"I want to eat meat!"

"I'll buy it for you!"

So, the siblings went straight to the IKEA supermarket where the salt was the cheapest.Salt is so cheap, other things must not be expensive!

The supermarket was crowded with people, every stall was full of people, and the siblings squeezed into a butcher stall.

There are elderly aunts and uncles next to them, and this one shouted: "I want two catties of ribs!"

That shouted, "Weigh three catties of five flowers for me!"

"I want the cucumber, and the tenderloin."

The siblings clicked their tongues, these people seem to want no money for meat.

When they squeezed into the crowd, they saw a row of cabinets with their openings facing up, filled with sliced ​​meat, and the cool air rushed towards their faces.

"Sister, there's a lot of meat." Lin Erhu shook Lin Xiaoman's hand, "Go ahead, just buy one."

Lin Xiaoman looked around and found that the meat sold here was thinner than the meat sold in the county, which made her dissatisfied.

It tastes better when you eat it fatter, especially the big fat meat can be boiled with meat oil. It is not to mention how delicious it is to put a spoonful of meat oil in the noodles.

The leftover stewed vegetable stuffing is delicious.Sprinkle a little salt noodles and eat it directly, which can even make people fragrant.

It's just that the fat meat in the county is expensive and in demand, and her father has to get up early every time to buy it.

There are also bones inside. Although there are more meat than the meat sold in the county, why is it more expensive than meat?

It's so strange, if you don't eat good meat, people here are willing to spend expensive money on bones that don't have much meat?Was the head kicked by a donkey?

Lin Xiaoman looked around critically, and suddenly his eyes lit up, pointing to a pile of fat in the far corner and asking: "Auntie, how do you sell that?"

Lin Xiaoman thought that fat pork belly was the most expensive, and fat meat with no lean meat like this was more expensive than pork belly. Unexpectedly, the aunt who sold the meat took a look at the pile of fat meat, "These are the leftovers from lean meat, five yuan Nine catties, how much do you want?"

Another word I haven't heard before!
Lin Xiaoman didn't know how much five yuan was, so he handed over the last piece of 20 yuan, and asked cautiously, "How much can I buy with 20 yuan?"

The butcher woman took the money, took out a few pieces of fat meat from the cabinet, put them on the electronic scale and weighed them, "19 yuan and 19 cents! The bag is [-] cents, the total is [-] yuan and [-] cents, I'll give you [-] cents, and the money and the receipt will be collected." alright."

Lin Xiaoman knows, five yuan nine is five yuan nine, why do people here keep saying it for a while?

But why is fat meat sold so cheaply?Don't people here like to eat fatty meat?
After receiving the meat, the receipt, and three smaller silver coins handed over by the woman, the siblings couldn't even close their mouths with laughter.

Lin Erhu took out the green one from Lin Xiaoman's hand and handed it over, "Auntie, buy fat meat."

The woman looked at Lin Erhu in surprise, "Fatty meat worth 50 yuan? Can your family finish it? Will your parents scold you if you buy it?"

Lin Xiaoman explained with a smile, "It was my elders who asked us to buy it back to refine oil. Auntie, you can sell it to us."

Lin Xiaoman guessed that what parents were talking about should be the elders in the family, maybe they were parents?Or grandma?

The woman didn't ask any more questions, and quickly weighed Lin Xiaoman's meat.The siblings spent an extra [-] cents to buy a large plastic bag of fatty meat.

This plastic bag is thicker than the steamed buns, and it looks sturdy. I wipe it with plant ash when I get home, and then wash it with water. I can continue to use it when I buy things in the future. It doesn't feel so distressing.

They went to the grain sales area and bought a bag of white sugar and 90 yuan of rice. They also bought a bag of something round and round, called potatoes, for the few silver coins they recovered.

I haven't eaten it yet, go back and taste it.

When I came out of the IKEA supermarket, there was a row of beautiful cars outside, and children sat on them and swayed.A nice nursery rhyme came out: "My father's father is called grandpa, and my father's mother is called grandma...

The siblings stood for a long time before they figured it out: father is father and mother is mother.

When I got home, I closed the door, took out all the things I bought today, looked at them again, and then hid everything.

Lin Xiaoman asked Lin Erhu to clean the pot, light the stove, and bring some water from the well to boil, while she sliced ​​the fatty meat she bought.

There are more than 20 catties of fat meat, even if there is a shortage of catties, it will be enough for the siblings to eat lard until next year.

While boiling the lard, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu went to wash another wooden board and put it on the floor of the house. They saved a few steamed buns to eat for the next few days, and cut the rest into thick slices and put them on the wooden board to dry.

Fortunately, there are no other houses on the west side of the village, and the few households that have not moved away live far away. When the breeze blows, the smell of boiled lard will be blown away.

Add some salt to the boiled lard and put it into the oil jar, but the big jar didn't fit, and another big bowl was filled.

I cut a few potatoes at the bottom of the pot and stewed them. Lin Erhu was almost confused when he ate, "Sister, this is too fragrant. Will we be able to eat it so good every day? It's just the skin on top." It’s not very tasty, next time I’ll stew it until the skin is peeled off.”

"Well, it will definitely work!"

Lin Xiaoman also rolled his eyes with a smile, the happy days of the siblings are still to come.

After a full meal, the siblings lay on the bed and didn't want to move anymore. Lin Erhu muttered: "This potato is really delicious. Let's plant some in the field next year."

"Okay, I just don't know how to plant it. I'll ask someone over there then. Let's see if there are other things we don't have here to plant."

Waking up early the next day, Lin Xiaoman took some steamed buns, fried them with lard, added water to the bottom of the oil to cook a salty porridge, sprinkled a handful of chopped green onion and a handful of oil residue when it came out of the pan, and drank most of the pot with the steamed buns .

After eating and drinking enough, they brought a few steamed buns, each of them carried a big basket with several cloth bags in the big basket and went out.
