Chapter 30 Buying a Pig Head

"Your father doesn't know about this. It's a doctor's unique secret recipe. How do I know? What? Do we Yaya also want to drink with father?" Xiang Laosan joked.

"No! That wine is spicy and smells bad, I won't drink it!" Xiang Tiange wrinkled his nose and shook his head.

"."

His dream of having his daughter drink with him in the future was shattered. Xiang Laosan slightly pursed his lips. The wine didn’t smell bad at all. How fragrant it was!
It's a pity that only during major festivals or Chinese New Year can the family get a pot to drink.

The women of Lao Xiang's family would also accompany them to have a sip. They knew that drinking less wine could dispel the cold and activate blood circulation. In the past, after Mrs. Jiang gave birth to Xiang Laosan, she accidentally fell into the river while washing clothes. See After becoming a doctor, they realized that drinking less alcohol was good for their health. However, they did not drink too much, so they drank less alcohol during major festivals to get rid of the coldness in their bodies.

That's why Xiang Laosan thought that his daughter might be able to drink some wine with him in the future.

"Drink, drink, you're not here to celebrate the New Year, and now you want to drink? Aren't you going to buy big meat for your daughter to eat? Hurry up and leave!" Ms. Wang glared at the third child and warned.

"." Xiang Laosan, who was warned by his wife, used his free hand to touch his head, then hugged Xiang Tiange tightly and said, "Let's go, Yaya, daddy will buy some meat for you to eat!"

A few people were at the back door of Li's Mansion. Although they did not block the street, they would have a bad impact after staying here for a long time. So they picked up their things and walked quickly to the vegetable market on East Street. .

Funing County has a total of four streets, east, west, north and south, and several streets happen to form a cross in the center of the entire county.

The street entering the city gate is North Street. There are basically some shops, inns and restaurants on both sides. On North Street, stalls are not allowed.

Stalls can generally be set up on the other three streets. South Street is basically inhabited by rich families. Of course, other streets are also inhabited by rich families, but there are fewer on East Street. East Street is basically populated by ordinary people. The people are living.

Because there is a vegetable market on East Street, rich people think that the market is close to their residences, so rich people basically don't want to live near the market.

After Xiang Tiange and the others left, two heads appeared on the wall in the corner next to the back door of Li Mansion.

"Miss, let's go back. If my wife knows that you are leaving the house, you will have to skin me!" A little maid advised the young lady in front of her anxiously.

"Have I not left the house yet?" Li Youling pouted in displeasure, "I see, it's just like what the little girl said just now, building such a high wall is just to lock me in here! It’s like being in jail, not free at all!”

The little maid on the side was so frightened that she climbed down the ladder, knelt on the ground, and begged: "Miss, Miss, you can't say this! I beg you, come down quickly. If Madam finds out about this, Xiaotao will Crap."

Li Youling lowered her head and glanced at her useless maid, then climbed down the ladder and said, "Go back."

Seeing this, Xiao Tao hurriedly got up and followed her lady back to the inner courtyard.

"Boss, how much is this pork selling for today?" Xiang Laosan asked the stall owner, pointing to the fattier pork on the stall. "The busy farming season is over, and the price of pork has dropped by one cent, sixteen cents per catty. Which ones do you want? How much do you want? I'll cut it for you!" the owner of the meat stall asked Xiang Laosan while pulling the meat with a sharp knife.

Sixteen cents per catty. Xiang Lao San gritted his teeth thinking about the extra twenty cents he had received today, pointed at the part he was interested in and said to the stall owner: "Here, cut me a pound!" "

"Okay!"

The owner of the meat stall raised his knife and picked up the weight on the side to weigh it. It was exactly one kilogram.

After all, the stall owner has been killing pigs and selling meat for more than ten years. He is very accurate in cutting the meat. He will cut out as much meat as you want!

At this time, Xiang Tiange, who was being led by Xiang Laosan, pointed to the pig head she had been staring at for a long time in a basket on the ground and asked the stall owner, "Uncle, aren't you selling this pig head?"

"Sell it! Do you want it? If you want it, I'll give you twenty coins for that pig head!" Pig heads are only used during sacrifices, but they are not used on weekdays, so the pig heads at meat stalls are usually very expensive. Selling less, almost all of it is kept for home use.

Although a pig head weighs twelve kilograms, it can be sold for more money, and it is better than eating it at home!
When she heard that it only cost twenty coins, Xiang Tiange raised her head and asked her father: "Dad, can we buy another pig head and go back?"

"Daddy has already bought some big meat for you. Can we go home and eat some big meat?" Looking at the pig head, Xiang Laosan was a little frightened. He only went to Taohua Village on the second day of February every year when the dragon raises his head. On festivals when all the villagers worship together, a pig's head is put up as a sacrifice. In the end, each household gives some to take home to eat. On weekdays, few people eat pig's head!
"Dad, just buy a pig's head!" This pig's head is so big and only costs twenty cents. What a bargain!Seeing as Daddy had just spent sixteen cents to buy such a small piece of meat, it was enough for one person in the family to eat. This pig head was different, it could feed the whole family!

"Okay, boss, could you please help me get this pig head again! Do you have any lotus leaves or taro leaves? Give me a few to pad my backpack, thank you."

"Sanlang, put this pork in your backpack. My uncle will carry the pig's head later."

Thinking of the twenty extra cents gained today, the credit belongs to my daughter. Now that she wants to eat a pig's head, I can take out the twenty cents and buy it for her to eat. But how do I get the pig's head to eat? !
Is it also like the sacrifice, where the whole body is cooked and the meat is cut into pieces to eat?

Xiang Laosan was a little worried. He took his daughter and the elder men, Erlang, and Sanlang to buy meat here. It was rare for them to come to the county town, so Wang and Xiao Jiang went to the cloth shop to see if there was any work they could take back.

In the absence of his wife, he couldn't resist his daughter's coquettishness. In the end, he stood in front of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jiang with a pig's head on his back, and was scolded bloody.

"That's twenty cents! It's a waste of twenty cents! Just spoil her!"

Mrs. Wang somewhat resented the fact that iron could not become steel. The pig's head was big, but it was almost all bones. How much meat could you get for twenty cents? !And it’s not delicious!Besides, it’s an ordinary day, who eats pig’s head? !
Isn't this just a waste of twenty pennies?

"Mom, don't waste it~ My uncle's cooking is delicious! I saw a recipe at Qu Xiang's house for making this pig's head, it's delicious!" Xiang Tiange hugged her mother and coquettishly.
