Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 9 Going to the market ([-])
Xu Xiaomi took the money and left Huichun Hall happily. It was 180 or six dollars. Yu Zhimo packed it in a blue brocade purse for her. She hid the money in the innermost layer of her clothes.

Go to the next stop --- the pawn shop.

Xu Xiaomi knew that usually in pawnshops in rich areas, rich people pawn gold and silver jewelry, while pawnshops in poor areas pawn clothes.

So, she walked two streets with her bag and came to a pawn shop on West Street, pawning those sets of clothes that her family was afraid of after seeing them for a hundred dollars.After taking the money, she asked the old shopkeeper of the pawnshop for the way to the grain and oil shop.

In fact, there is a "Chen's Grain and Oil Store" opened by a very down-to-earth boss at the West Street where they came.

Xu Xiaomi wants to go to the vegetable market to see if there is any lard to buy back, but there is not much at home.

So, she inquired with passers-by and found the vegetable market. At that time, there were not many vegetables sold in the vegetable market. In winter, there were only radishes and cabbage.

This era is not modern. Everything is grown in greenhouses. Even in winter, you can buy vegetables that are out of season. There are few sources of vegetables here.

She walked through the vegetable area and came to the pork stall. The uncle selling pork was dozing off. There was still a lot of meat on the stall, and there was a pool of blood under the stall. She stayed away to avoid getting her only pair of shoes wet.

"Uncle! Hey, uncle..." Xu Xiaomi shouted loudly.

"Oh! Ah! Buying meat? Girl?" Uncle Pork was woken up and asked without seeing anyone.

"Hmm! How did you buy this meat?" Xu Xiaomi asked.

"Fatty meat is [-] Wen a catty, lean meat is [-] Wen a catty, and pork belly is [-] Wen a catty." Uncle Pork stood up and introduced.

Seeing a few bones and a piece of lard on the table, Xu Xiaomi pointed and asked, "How do I buy these?"

"Girl, if you buy meat, the bones will be free, and lard will buy you ten cents, and you won't weigh it, do you think it's okay?" Uncle Pork said kindly.

"Okay! Uncle, bring me a catty of pork belly. Do you have any more pig blood or pig intestines?" Xu Xiaomi wanted to buy the most affordable things with the least money.

So, I just wanted to ask and bring it back.No, let this uncle keep it for her if he has it in the future.

"Girl, to be honest, no one wanted the blood, we threw it away. There was no one to eat the large intestine. I usually keep it for myself. It's hard to wash, and I scolded my wife once and said it stinks.

Then I threw them all away. Today’s ones are still here. I wanted to collect them and throw them away. Now you can take them if you want them!for free! "Uncle Pork said frankly.

"Then thank you, uncle! In the future, don't throw away what I want first. If you close the stall and I haven't come, you can throw it away, okay? I'll pay for it!" Xu Xiaomi didn't expect that people here don't want pigs Large intestine, she likes to eat that thing in modern times.

Now that I think about it, my mouth is watering, they actually took it and threw it away.

Hearing what she said, Uncle Pork looked at her in surprise and said, "Girl! Do you really want it? If you really want it, I won't take your money. I love this too. After you finish it, save some for me. Satisfy your hunger, okay?" Isn't this pork uncle too cute?It's actually this request...

"Okay! Uncle, let's make an agreement. You will keep the large intestine for me in the future, and I will cook it for you. I promise that your wife will never scold you for eating it again." After speaking, he smiled at Uncle Pork .Uncle Pork also laughed.

Uncle Pork weighed the pork to her while smiling, and tied the lard, bones and pig intestines with hemp rope and handed them to her.

She gave thirty money, and Uncle Pork returned two and said, "I've agreed to give you nothing but meat and lard. You take these two back, and you have to make more for me in the future." Come eat the large intestine! Hahaha!"

Xu Xiaomi had no choice but to put away the money, and walked back with the pork. When he reached a grocery store, he remembered that there was no salt at home.

She went into the grocery store and bought a catty of salt, which was extremely expensive, but she actually bought it for thirty yuan per catty.Xu Xiaomi finally came to Chen's Grain and Oil Store.

I asked about fifteen cents a catty for white rice, fifteen cents a catty for white noodles, and eight cents a catty for black noodles.Xu Xiaomi did the math, she sold Wuniang rattan for 180 liuwen, and when it was a hundred yuan for clothes, it would add up to 280 liuwen.

I just bought 28 Wen for salt, and 58 Wen for selling pork for 230 Wen, and I still have 150 Wen.It costs 75 Wen to buy ten catties of rice, and [-] Wen to buy five catties of flour. What should I do if I still have five Wen on my body?The next time I go to the city, I have to have money to come in... Sigh!

Forget about buying five catties of rice, five catties of white noodles, and five catties of black noodles!Let's plan ahead after the new year!
After buying the rice noodles and paying the money, Xu Xiaomi left the city with big and small bags.When she came to the gate of the city, she saw her father Xu Erqiang in the distance.

He was listlessly sitting on a rock, looking at the gate of the city from time to time, and he saw Xu Xiaomi coming out.

Standing up and running to Xu Xiaomi, she hugged her daughter's shoulders and began to cry, crying, "My child! I'm sorry, I'm really afraid of losing you again. Dad can't help it! Dad only has two Copper plate, this is all the crotches of our family! My heart is about to break after waiting, woo woo..."

Xu Xiaomi was so moved that she also started to cry, but she is not a nine-year-old girl after all, so it should be past noon, and the sun is a bit westward.

He quickly wiped away his tears, sniffed his nose and said to his father, "Father, I'm fine. Don't be sad. Things went well. I bought rice, noodles, and meat. I can't carry them anymore. Please help me." , let’s go home and I’ll cook something delicious for you tonight.”
