Candide in Chronology is on strike

After Qin Xi separated from the others, she went to the shop selling shoes. There were cloth shoes, leather shoes and rubber shoes, as well as woolen shoes crocheted with wool. She also wanted to learn this, but she still had little understanding of it.

Woolen shoes are more suitable to wear in winter, especially when you are at home, they are particularly warm for your feet.

She bought three pairs in total. Her shoe size is about 38. The eldest brother and the second brother have bigger feet than hers, and the size [-] is about the same.

In addition, she also bought woolen socks to wear with woolen shoes.

More than half of the money I spent selling rabbits before was spent here. In the black market, money is the least spent.

In addition, she also bought two kilograms of brown sugar. When the weather is cold in winter, she can often drink brown sugar and ginger water to warm her body.

As for the meat, they arrived late, and there was only stinky large intestine left on the meat stall. Qin Xi firmly refused this. The large intestine was too smelly and difficult to deal with. Even if it was cheap, she wouldn't want it.

Not far from the meat seller was the fish seller. By this time, many lakes and ponds were almost dry, and some people would take the fish they couldn't eat at home to sell on the black market.

Compared with meat, the price of fish is much more beautiful. The cheapest and most affordable food is fish meat.

Qin Xi picked a total of five large grass carps and one male carp. As for crucian carp, white silver carp, catfish and the like, she didn't like them very much, so she didn't buy them.

She plans to take the grass carp back and hang it in the kitchen to be smoked and cured. As for the male fish, this fish is really big, weighing more than nine pounds. She plans to steam the fish head or make it into a hot pot, and you can eat part of the fish. , get some for Tang Ying and the others, and add salt and spices to the rest and smoke it.

There are a lot of fish in the black market. If it weren't for the fact that the bus was broken down and might not have been repaired yet, they might need to carry these fish back on their own. Qin Xi might also pick two more grass carp to take away.

After all, they live in the countryside, and it's not easy to come to the county town. It's okay now. It's freezing and snowy outside, so they don't have to go to work. Once they get to work, they won't have much time to come, even to Qinxi.

At this time, the grass carp didn't want to be fed. They grew up slowly in the lake, but every now and then, someone would throw some grass blades into it.

It takes at least two years for grass carp to grow to more than six kilograms. This kind of purely natural fish without additives will cost dozens of yuan per kilogram in future generations. Now it is only [-] cents per kilogram. She feels that it is still very expensive. worth it.

As expected of being in the city, this fish is also slaughtered, scaled and belly scraped. The stall owner's technique is very sharp and he quickly handles one.

The grass carp she picked were all very big, the smallest weighed more than four kilograms, and the largest weighed more than seven kilograms.

She couldn't take these fish away by herself, she had to call her brother. Also, her backpack couldn't hold so many fish, so she needed to buy another backpack.

After paying a deposit of two yuan to the stall owner, Qin Xi went to find someone.

Her second brother didn't see it, but her eldest brother saw it while strolling around.

"Brother, I bought several fish, let's take them back to make cured fish."

When Qin Jiang saw Qin Xi, he subconsciously retracted his hand into his trouser pocket. After touching the metal box inside, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he had already put the things in his trouser pocket.

In short, it's good that it hasn't been discovered.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"But before that, we have to buy a new backpack. My backpack shouldn't be able to hold so many fish."

"I bought six fish, each of which weighed up to four pounds. The largest one weighed more than nine pounds. It was a male fish. The head of this fish is tender and fat. Whether it is for hot pot Or steamed, both are good choices.”

The essence of the male fish is the fish head. The meat on the fish head is so elastic and soft that you can even suck it on like jelly.

As for the fish, it is very average. Although the meat is tender, it has many thorns. When eating fish, you must be particularly careful to avoid pricking your mouth. "Okay, I'll listen to you. There's a backpack seller in front of you. I'll go and take a look with you." Qin Jiang never had any objection to Qin Xi's words.

Although he already knows how to knit a backpack, isn't this urgently needed?
A backpack is not expensive, only two cents, and Qin Xi also asked the stall owner to give him a bundle of straw.

Fish on the black market was much cheaper than pork, so she bought more of it. The stall owner sold it to her for five cents a pound, which was calculated as [-] cents a pound.

By the time Qin Xi and Qin Jiang walked over, the stall owner and his son and daughter-in-law had already killed and processed all the fish, which was very fast.

The clothes of the three people were covered with specks of scales, and the clothes inevitably got a little wet. But after receiving the money, the smiles on the three people's faces were so bright.

Six fish, a total of 37 pounds and 16 taels, [-] cents per pound, which is [-] yuan and [-] cents.

The stall owner generously wiped away the four cents hanging at the back, and only received 16 yuan and seventy cents.

Sell ​​out early and close the stall early to go home.

When the brother and sister were loading fish into their baskets, Tang Ying and He Yuan saw them at a glance and walked over directly.

"Qin Xi, did you buy all this?" Tang Ying found it incredible. This is too much!
"This fish is so big! It weighs ten pounds!"

Qin Xi spared no effort to introduce the business to the stall owner: "Look at this fish fat!"

"I didn't buy any meat when I came to the county this time. It would be good to buy some fish and go back to make cured fish."

"Look at this big fish head, do you want to eat it?"

Tang Ying smiled helplessly: "I think about it, I really want to."

"I didn't buy any meat anyway. Just like you, buying a fish is a good choice."

As for Qin Xi, who buys many fish at once, she can't do it. Educated youths have many hands and fish hanging in the kitchen. You might wake up one morning and find that the fish is missing!

"Would you like to make cured fish?"

"The wall in my kitchen is quite spacious. It shouldn't be a problem to hang a dozen fish."

Anyway, Tang Ying and his friends have raised their rabbits at their place. Qin Xi doesn't mind if they hang the fish in their kitchen. They are friends!good friend.

After coming here for so many years, apart from her two brothers, the closest people to her are Tang Ying and He Yuan. She has always been considerate and generous towards her own people.

"Really?"

"Then I won't be polite to you."

After saying that, Tang Ying pulled He Yuan over, and the two of them started choosing the fish on the stall.

It took five or six minutes for the two of them to make the decision to buy two grass carp and one male carp at the same price as Qin Xi's previous purchase, which was 6 cents per catty.

To be honest, the price of fish is much cheaper than the price of meat. Meat on the black market is now [-] cents per pound. One pound of meat can buy six pounds of fish. No matter how you calculate it, buying fish is a good deal!
Of course, for [-] pieces of meat, it must be of good quality and must not contain bones.
