happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 85 Buying Meat ([-]rd update)

Although Shen Yunfang did not take part in it, she got a lot of useful information from it.

For example, there are educated youths sent to the countryside in the five-star brigade, but those educated youths have arranged a place for the unity, called the educated youth spot, so there are no migrants in Gaijiatun.

What's more, those educated youths are all educated people, and all the big girls and young daughter-in-laws in the village are willing to join in. In the past few years, there have really been a few couples.

There is also the commune’s processing plant, which has also become busy during this period. After all, there are poor people and there are rich people. Just after the grain was distributed, many families with surplus money took the grain to use the machine to grind rice.

Well, it’s not that you can’t grind rice by yourself, but many people regard spending money to grind rice as a way of showing off. Look, you guys are still doing it like crazy. My family already has the money to use a machine to grind rice.

Gaijiatun is not very rich, so this kind of showing off of wealth has not happened yet.

After all, one dollar is equivalent to twenty eggs, and many people would rather spend effort to grind rice by hand with a stone roller in the village than to spend that manual fee.

There are also oil presses that are basically not used. Every family distributes [-] catties of soybeans every year. Except for the tofu, the rest is not enough to fit between the teeth. How can we squeeze oil.

In addition, the villagers seldom grow their own soybeans. There are not many such things, and there is little land. Everyone can grow corn and sweet potatoes.

So no one in the whole village eats soybean oil. Most of them buy a piece of fatty meat during the Chinese New Year, so that there is even meat and oil.

Shen Yunfang was very happy about this news. She has grown a lot of soybeans, and it is estimated that she can get more than 100 catties of soybeans.According to one catty of soybeans, four taels of soybean oil can be produced. If you make up an integer, two hundred catties of soybeans can produce about [-] catties of soybean oil.

Well, almost enough to feed for a year.

There is also the old cow that was injured. Her eyes lit up when she heard the news. It has been a year since she came here. She has never eaten beef, and she doesn't know if other teams kill cows. Can she Also go buy it.

"Aunt Wang, just now they talked about killing cattle, can we buy it and sell it to us?" Shen Yunfang asked Aunt Wang next to her in a low voice.

Aunt Wang looked at her greedy cat and wanted to laugh. This child is indeed a lot more lively this year, but he is also greedy and able to eat a lot. No matter what he hears, his eyes light up, "You, you are so big! , and also looks like a greedy cat, be careful that your husband's family will dislike you in the future."

Shen Yunfang suppressed her nose, she is not afraid, it is good that she does not dislike others.

"We don't kill cattle easily. It's all labor. But if you're injured and can't heal, you have to kill it. You don't need a ticket for this kind of meat. Whoever wants to buy it can just get the money. If you want to eat beef, you can buy it tomorrow. Ask your sister-in-law to go with you."

When Shen Yunfang heard that she could buy it, she felt even happier, "You don't need my sister-in-law to go with me, isn't it the next village? I know the way, so I can go by myself." Let people go with her again.

After hearing the news, Shen Yunfang was not in the mood for work anymore, she was picking corn in her hands, and she was still thinking about what to eat after buying the beef. After thinking about it, the halazi was about to flow out.Oh my god, I'm hungry!
The next day, Shen Yunfang followed her to work. Seeing that it was time to get off work at noon, she snuggled up to Uncle Shen and asked him for leave in a low voice. , Shall I send it to the uncle's house?

Shen Yunfang is not a stingy person either, she just wants to feed the meat she bought to Shen Yunxiu, she is really not happy in the bottom of her heart.So she found a random reason, and walked home quickly under Uncle Shen's hopeless eyes.I packed up at home, and went out with a small basket on my shoulders.

This time, the goal was clear, and her steps became much lighter when she walked. After walking for more than an hour, she finally saw the outline of the village from a distance.

She walked into the village quickly, and didn't know where the cattle were killed or sold, so she had to ask someone first.

But she came at a bad time, just in time for lunch, and there was basically no one on the road.

Fortunately, she knew where the consignment agency was, and after asking there, she found out that the cow was killed in the production team, and followed the direction pointed out by the person to find the production team.

As soon as I entered the compound, I saw that the door inside was open, and there was a big table in the middle, and the beef was placed on it.

A man in his 40s was sitting on a stool next to him, and he was good at chasing flies flying back and forth.

"Uncle, let's sell beef here." Shen Yunfang raised her voice slightly when she entered the courtyard.

"Hey, yes, here it is." The man inside said hurriedly when he heard that it was someone who came to buy beef.

When Shen Yunfang stepped into the room, she saw that the cattle on the table had been cut to pieces. It was estimated that the cattle had been slaughtered early in the morning, and many people had already bought them.

"Uncle, how much is a catty of beef?" This is the first time to buy meat since time travel, the process should be similar to the funeral.

"Eight cents a catty, how much do you want?" The uncle picked up a sharp knife beside him, and waited for Shen Yunfang to tell him how much he wanted to cut.

Nowadays, beef is cheaper than pork. Many people don’t like to eat beef, because beef basically has no fat, it’s all lean meat, and it’s not so good to bite when stewed. don't eat.

Shen Yunfang thought for a while, she wanted to stew beef brisket, and she also wanted to boil some beef sauce. She still had an iron plate that she hadn't used before. It would be nice if she could roast some meat by herself...

"Uncle, cut off some meat from my stomach, some meat from my buttocks, and a few catties from my legs..." Shen Yunfang pointed at the cow and began to gesture.

The uncle babbled, "What kind of meat do you want? I'll give you all the cuts."

"Hey, I have no money, or I don't want to wrap it all up." Shen Yunfang tugged at the corners of her mouth, feeling unhappy. In fact, she has money in her pocket. Although she doesn't have much money left, but these few days Li Hongjun has been posting money to her every month, with some changes, but it is much more than the five yuan a month last year. In the past six months, she has also saved more than 100 yuan.

The uncle thought she was bragging, whoever sold the meat had lost a few taels and added a few catties, and the leftover meat would have weighed seventy or eighty catties, how could she wrap it up. "Nonsense, if I have money, I'll make it all up, and it's your turn. Hurry up, how much noise do you want?"

The attitude is extremely impatient.

Shen Yunfang was very dissatisfied with his service attitude, but she endured it in order to buy meat.

She took out a paper bag from her pocket, opened it in front of her face, then glanced at the uncle opposite, and began to read: "Wait a minute, I have to add one more. The uncle has two catties of meat on his belly." The meat on the thigh of the second uncle’s family is one and a half catties, and the meat on the stomach of Mrs. Wang’s family is three catties..."

"Hey, wait, wait, speak slowly." The uncle hurriedly picked up the butcher's knife next to him, and was about to start cutting the meat according to the girl's words. Damn, it looks like it's put together.

It is also very common for girls to come here alone and bring back all the meat that a village needs to buy, but generally the village will send boys over.

Shen Yunfang smiled and shook the paper in her hand. Is it easy for her to buy more meat? She has already driven out the underground workers. In addition to fighting bravely, she has to fight wits.

After a while, she went home carrying more than 50 catties of beef and two bare bones.That night she stewed a large pot of beef and radishes.
