Rebirth of a farmer's daughter

Chapter 34 Messy in the wind
"Okay, village head, please write it clearly." Old man Zhou was so disappointed that he didn't even want to read it, and looked at the village head directly.

The village head looked at Zhou Hong and Zhou Quan, nodded and said, "I know, I will write it clearly!"

Things are finally settled.Everyone signed their fingerprints, and even the daughter also pressed their fingerprints because they wanted to provide for the elderly.She watched coldly, and seeing the joy flashing in the eyes of Wang Shi and Liu Shi, she said coldly: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, Hui'er and Jian'er are all watching. When you get old in the future, I hope they will not Learn from your parents!"

When Wang Shi and Liu Shi heard her words, their faces changed, and they wanted to curse a few words, but seeing that the village chief was still there, they each gritted their teeth and endured it.

After the separation, we have a reunion dinner.Mrs. Yu didn't bother to bother. After giving two taels of silver, one of them took out a hundred copper coins and asked Qianjin to go to the grocery store at the entrance of the village to buy some meat and vegetables, and then to buy some fresh fish and vegetables at home. It's ok too.

"Madam proprietress, how do you sell this pork!" The grocery store is the only one in the village that sells meat, and the business is so-so.The owner's surname is Zhuang, and she is an outsider. The proprietress doesn't know what her surname is. Everyone calls her the proprietress, and secretly calls her a "stingy ghost". She is not easy to get along with.

"Hey, Qianjin, is there a guest at your house?" Hearing the address, the landlady sat up from the comfortable rocking chair and looked at her with her signature smile. People who didn't know thought she was so kind.

"Well, my mother asked me to buy meat." The separation of the family was not very honorable in the first place, not to mention it hurt the hearts of the two elders, so Qianjin didn't say much.

"Want the thin one or the fat one? The skinny one is 22 cents a catty, and the fat one is [-] cents. The oil for frying is thick, so it tastes better when kept!" the proprietress said neatly.

Qian Jin thought about it in her heart, and then saw the pig liver and pig offal she didn't want put aside next to the proprietress. She really wanted to buy it, but knew that if she knew how to make pig offal, she would definitely be suspected, so she sweetly pointed at the pig. Gan asked, "What about this? How much is a catty?"

Seeing her pointing at the pork liver, the proprietress was stunned for a moment, thinking that even if there were guests at home, the children would not be able to eat it, so she definitely wanted to buy some pork liver to satisfy their hunger, so she smiled and said: "This pork liver will be given to you." Five cents!"

"Boss, I buy a lot of meat, why don't you buy it cheaper!" In modern times, pork liver is more expensive than pork, especially because it contains heavy metals, which are the most poisonous.But the pork liver here is really domestic and nutritious, but it's not worth much at all. People here don't like to eat it very much, so they were put aside by the proprietress.

Glancing at the purse in Qianjin's hand, he thought that there should be some copper coins in it, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if you buy three catties of meat, this pork liver will be given to you!"

"Okay, let's have a catty of lean meat and two catties of fat meat, and the weight must be accurate, so that I won't be scolded when I go back!" Qian Jin said in a very sophisticated manner.

"Don't worry." The proprietress said so, but she didn't think so in her heart.Hmph, even if the pork liver is worthless, it still costs two or three pennies. I have to get it back from the pork anyway, so after chopping the meat neatly, I raised the scale with my hands, and when I was unstable, I muttered: "Two catties is more than one or two catties, so you count as two catties!"

"Miss Boss." In her eyes, this method was trivial.In her previous life, she worked in a fish market and saw fish weighers with her own eyes. When she lifts the big scales, they can weigh tens of catties. She has suffered such a loss. In her eyes, it was drizzle.

Knowing is one thing, tolerance is another, so she said sweetly: "You weighed too fast, I didn't see clearly... My mother taught me that when you say things, You have to take off the other hand, you didn't take it off just now."

The proprietress, who put down the fat, grabbed the lean meat and was about to weigh it. After hearing Qianjin's words, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she said with some dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by that? Could it be that I am short of catties and short of two for you?"

Pretending to be frightened, Qianjin shrank her neck, and said with an aggrieved face: "I... I just want to see the scale, my mother taught me, I haven't read it carefully..."

The proprietress originally wanted to scare her and finish the business as soon as possible.But Qianjin was crying with a small face, and someone passed by, so she squeezed out a stiff smile, put the fat back on the scale, and under Qianjin's urging, took off her own hand, carried it in front of Qianjin, gritted her teeth and said : "It's more than two catties, can you see clearly?"

"Well, see clearly!" Qian Jin replied solemnly, but her heart was about to tie up with laughter.Don't think she didn't see it. When the proprietress put the fat meat on it for weighing, she brought some more pieces of meat. Now the total weight is more than two catties. That's why the proprietress was so angry.

People were annoyed, but Qianjin was happy, so she pretended she didn't see it.After the proprietress agreed, the daughter was so cute and coquettish, she dropped the 62 to [-] cents, and added a pair of pork liver, which made the proprietress itch with hatred, thinking that she usually took advantage of herself, but now she was caught by a The eight-year-old child is full of reluctance to be cheap.

So what if you are not reconciled, the cheerfulness of people walking away with the basket in hand is simply exciting.

"My dear, why did you buy pork liver!" Shi Yu asked in surprise, looking at the contents in the basket.

"It's from the proprietress." Qian Jin raised her head and smiled brightly.

"Send it?" Yu's face was full of doubts, thinking that the proprietress's stinginess is well-known in the village, when did she become so generous.

"Well, mother, the brother on the mountain said that after washing the pork liver with water, put a layer of salt on the bottom of the pot, and put the whole piece of pork liver on it directly. When it is dry, it will taste delicious. You can give it to the village uncle Drink!" Brother on the mountain, where are you, Qianjin calls you.

"Brother on the mountain..." Yu Shi recalled this incident, looked at Qian Jin and asked, "Did the brother on the mountain really tell you?"

"En!" Facing Yu Shi's question, Qianjin nodded a little guilty, and the expression on her face froze for a moment, feeling an inexplicable bad feeling in her heart.

"This child can still talk." Yu sighed with pity all over his face, "My dear, after all, even though he is older than you, he still has to call you auntie. When we meet in the future, don't be naughty." ,do you know?"

"Uh." Qianjin was taken aback, and her heart was going crazy, thinking that she had randomly created a brother on the mountain, and that crazy person would live on the mountain!
"Mu'er is poor too. She has no parents and still has to be a filial piety. Now she is 16 years old. In three years, I don't know if I can find a daughter-in-law." Mrs. Yu didn't notice that something was wrong with the daughter, so she chatted to herself. nagging.

But Qianjin's expression at this moment is messed up in the wind, the 16-year-old calls herself an eight-year-old aunt, where is this different!She's not that old, okay, don't be a aunt, don't be an aunt, mother, help me!
This was the last time the whole family had a meal together, and Mrs. Yu also prepared it with all her heart.There were two tables, one for the child and the woman, and one for the old man Zhou and the village chief.All the dishes were cooked by Mrs. Yu, and Qianjin helped wash the vegetables and cook the fire, while Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu hid in their houses after they separated and did not come out again.

On the table, steamed rice is the staple food, and a few red dates are placed on it, which has a good meaning, but to Qianjin, it looks ironic.Fresh fried small fish, wrapped in flour, tastes crunchy, very suitable for drinking.Braised pork in brown sauce, stir-fried vegetables with oil residue, steamed dried salted fish, scrambled eggs with leeks, steamed pork liver with salt, and a dried vegetable soup. The inside is lean meat rolled with sweet potato flour, tender and very appetizing.
