The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 29 Going to the Butcher's House to Buy Meat
Hearing someone yelling, Mo Sanqian opened his eyes, saw clearly that it was Yunmo, and said with a smile: "Girl Yunmo, you come to buy meat, what a coincidence, when we go to the market today, most of the pork is picked and sold in the city. The remaining ones were sold out early in the morning, and now there are only a few kidnapper bones and this cage of pig intestines left on the stall."

Butcher Mo's family consists of three members. The mother-in-law's surname is Sun, named Sun Youhua, and the only son in the family is named Mo Qingshan.

Today is the market day, Mo Qingshan and Sun's wife drove a donkey cart and pulled most of the pork to the city, leaving Butcher Mo alone at home to watch the meat stall.

Yunmo heard that the pork was sold out, so she could only focus on the few kidnapper bones and the caged pig intestines again.

Treating guests to dinner tonight, no matter what, I have to make two meat dishes. The kidnapper bone was knocked open, and it was full of bone oil. I bought it back to stew the soup, and then added some Guanyin tofu to the broth. It must be delicious. Fortunately, this morning , She also kept some Guanyin tofu at home. The pig intestines were stir-fried in a pan. It was chewy and delicious, and it was no worse than pork after cleaning.

Thinking of this, Yun Mo pointed to the stall and asked, "Uncle Mo, how do you sell this kidnapper's bone and pig's intestines?"

Butcher Mo threw the cattail fan aside and stood up from the chair, "Girl Yunmo, are you going to buy these kidnapper bones and pig intestines?" He looked at Yunmo in surprise.

There is no meat in the bones, and it is still under pressure. Most people will not buy it.

"Girl Yunmo, the stewed bone soup tastes alright, but the pig's intestines are hard to clean up, and the fishy smell is heavy, so it won't taste good if you don't clean it up." He was deeply afraid that Yunmo wouldn't clean it up.

Seeing that Butcher Mo is an honest person, Yunmo smiled and said, "Uncle Mo, how much is a catty, you can tell me first, if the price is right, I'll buy it all, you just have to weigh it to me."

Butcher Mo didn't expect that a few pig bones and a cage of pig intestines could be sold for money. Usually, these unsalable pig offals are kept for his own food. He pondered for a while and said: "Yunmo girl, you See if this works? Uncle is no more than a scale, this cage pig intestines, plus these a few kidnapper bones, will charge you a total of [-] Wen."

Yunmo roughly estimated that the large intestine of the cage weighed about five or six catties, and the few bones of the kidnapper probably weighed three to four catties. Moreover, the bones of the kidnapper were not particularly clean, and there were still bits and pieces of meat hanging on the bones. It only costs [-] yuan to add so many lean meats, which is even cheaper than Chinese cabbage.

"Okay." Yun Mo immediately counted twenty copper coins and handed them to Butcher Mo, "Uncle Mo, this is twenty Wen coins, you count them yourself and see if they are correct."

"Okay." Butcher Mo took the copper coins and counted them with a smile on his face. After counting, he stuffed them into his pouch around his waist, tied up a few kidnapper bones with straw, and handed them to Yun along with the caged pig's intestines. Mo, he still didn't forget to tell him: "Girl, you must be careful when cleaning up the pig's intestines. The pig's intestines are very dirty inside, so they have to be turned over and washed."

"Well, I've remembered, thank you Uncle Mo for reminding me." Yunmo smiled.

The two chatted for a while, Yun Mo's eyes flashed, and suddenly, an idea flashed into his mind, so he looked at Butcher Mo, and asked casually, "Uncle Mo, can't these pig bones and pig intestines be sold on weekdays? "

Butcher Mo sighed and shook his head again, and said: "These pig offal are hard to take care of, where can they be sold, like pig blood, pig large intestine, and pig bones, they are all kept for home consumption, and the pig small intestine has a thin layer of membrane, nothing to worry about. Meat, it’s a waste of oil to eat it, so I don’t bother to ask for it, and I throw it away to feed the dogs on weekdays.”

It's a pity that the pig's small intestines were lost to feed the dogs.

After listening to Butcher Mo, Yun Mo had a clearer plan in mind, "Uncle Mo, if you have pig small intestines in your hands in the future, don't throw them away. Can you sell them to me? Pig blood, pig large intestines, I want them too." , Fresh pig blood, I will pay five Wen a catty, pig intestines, you let Aunt Sun wash them clean, I will pay six Wen a catty, what do you think?"

Pig offal can't be sold for money, Yunmo's price is very fair, and it doesn't take advantage of Butcher Mo.

"Yunmo, you are not joking with uncle, are you?" Butcher Mo looked at Yunmo in disbelief.

Pork offal is not tasty, why is this girl buying so much, is she crazy?
After being surprised for a while, he kindly said: "You and Tongtong are the only ones in your house. How much can you two eat? Don't buy it back and let it stink. It's a pity." After finishing speaking, he took a look at Yun Xiaotong. For the big and small children, one meal and one bowl of rice can be spent, how much food can be spent.

"Uncle Mo, if you think the price I'm offering is good, just sell it to me. I'll take care of it myself and it won't stink." Yunmo was very grateful for Butcher Mo's kind reminder.

"Okay, why not, as long as you decide to want it, uncle will sell it to you." Butcher Mo agreed, "I will slaughter pigs some other day. If there are fresh pig blood and pig intestines, I will ask your aunt to send them to you."

"Yeah." Yun Mo nodded, "Uncle Mo, let's settle this matter like this."

After talking about the business, Yunmo took the pig's large intestine and kidnapped child's bone, took Yun Xiaotong with him, and was about to leave Mo Butcher's house.

The pig intestines have a strong fishy smell, so you have to take them back quickly and marinate them with salt and vinegar for a while before washing them.

When leaving, Yun Xiaotong did not forget to wave to Butcher Mo, "Goodbye, Grandpa Mo, my mother and I will go back first." When he was talking, he was still grinning, looking very cute.

Although Xiao Douding is young, his mind is much more mature than children of the same age. He sees who is good and who is bad, and knows it clearly in his heart.

Now, the reason why he smiled at Butcher Mo was to see that Butcher Namo was friendly to their mother and son.

Back in the thatched hut, Yunmo first took out the wooden basin, threw a cage of pig intestines into the wooden basin, untied the tied straw ropes, then sprinkled some salt and vinegar into the basin, and rubbed it like usual for washing clothes. A few handfuls, rub the salt and vinegar evenly, and marinate the pig large intestine.

The pig intestines were marinated, and the sun was still drying on the roof. It was still early, and there was still some time before cooking.

Yunmo rummaged through the bamboo shoots and toon buds that were drying in the yard. Suddenly, she thought of the wasteland outside the fence. If the white thatch grass in the wasteland was cut, the soil would be turned up and sorted out, maybe it could be done. A vegetable garden, plant some seasonal vegetables.

With a plan in mind, she turned back into the house and took a newly bought hoe, sickle, and a bamboo basket, ready to clean up the wasteland outside the fence.

Seeing Yun Mo carrying a hoe, a sickle, and a bamboo basket, Yun Xiaotong thought she was going up to Wufeng Mountain, so she rushed over and asked, "Mother, are we going to the mountain?"

"We won't go up the mountain, we have to cook later." Yunmo pointed to the wasteland outside the fence, and said to Yun Xiaotong: "Mother, go and clear up that piece of wasteland to form a vegetable garden." , and plant some radishes and cabbages, in the future, our family will have vegetables to eat."
