The best farmhouse

Chapter 24 Buying Meat
Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng went out from the back door of Tianxiang Restaurant with excited faces.

As soon as he walked out of the alley, Zhao Qingfeng became excited, "Sister, we are rich, and our family can make a lot of money in the future."

Zhao Canniang raised her head and looked at Zhao Qingfeng, her little hand was held by Zhao Qingfeng, and she was in a good mood.

"Brother, let's talk about this matter first, only the three of us know about it, and we have to give a few more words to my mother." Zhao Canniang was worried that Qin's filial piety would cause trouble, and the konjac matter would be revealed sooner or later. Mrs. Chu was persecuted by Mrs. Chu and the others, so she might have spoken out.

Zhao Qingfeng was happy with the fifty Wen copper coins he earned just now. You know, for fifty Wen coins, he would have to chop at least fifty loads of firewood on weekdays.

He didn't know how long Zhao Canniang had been busy last night, but he thought that since it was something his sister could do, so could he.

"Sister, let's go back to the taro forest to dig the taro quietly. I know that there are several places where the taro is the largest. I will tell my mother a few words about this matter. Grandma and the others are too much, and dad , we can't let them know that we have money." Zhao Qingfeng said excitedly.

Zhao Canniang laughed, teasingly said, "Brother, we only have fifty cents now, and it will not be too late for you to be happy when we have a lot of money." Zhao Canniang felt that Zhao Qingfeng was very excited.

Zhao Qingfeng smiled foolishly, "Sister, do you want to eat candy figurines? Brother will buy them for you." Zhao Qingfeng would definitely be reluctant to do it in normal times. A small candy figurine would cost three pennies, but today!He couldn't be happier.

He felt so excited for the first time in his 12 years of life, and he was full of hope for life.

When Zhao Canniang heard about the sugar man, although her mouth was a little greedy, she still held back, "Brother, I am already this old, and I have already passed the age of a sugar man. Let's go buy some lamp oil and go home, and I really want to eat meat." , let's go buy some fat meat, and then buy two catties of flour, and go back to make Chaos, shall we!"

If Zhao Canniang used to be, she would definitely not take the initiative to buy fat meat, but with her small body and Qin's thin figure, Zhao Canniang knew very well that this family needs the fat in the fat meat.

Zhao Qingfeng hesitated now, and said earnestly, "Sister, although we have money now, we can't spend it recklessly, you know, we can buy some lamp oil, and forget about Chaos."

When talking about Chaos, Zhao Qingfeng couldn't help swallowing, it could be seen that Zhao Qingfeng actually wanted to eat Chaos.

Zhao Canniang thought about it, and finally decided to have a little extravagance, "Brother, we don't have to eat. We only ate meat at noon, which is fine, but what about mother? Mother hasn't eaten meat for a month or two. We From now on, as long as you send konjac to Tianxianglou every day, you can get copper coins every day, and it won’t be too late to save them.”

When Zhao Canniang said this, Zhao Qingfeng hesitated in his heart, thinking that what Zhao Canniang said was right, from the two taels of fat meat during the Chinese New Year, if they hadn't eaten a little at Tianxianglou at noon today, they really hadn't eaten it for a long time meat.

"Okay then, let's cut off two taels of fat." Zhao Qingfeng seemed to have made a big decision.

The two went to the vegetable market again, it was already late at this time, there were not many people in the vegetable market, and most of them were their own things that had not been sold, waiting here for business.

The meat stalls are all fixed stalls, and most of them close the stalls very late.

Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng chose a boss who looked kinder, and then stopped in front of the stall.

The meat stand is actually a long table with pork on it.

It was probably because it was a little late now, and there were not many things left on the stall.

On the long table, there were only a pile of unsold bones, a pair of dry-looking pork liver, pig large intestine, pig heart and lungs, all thrown randomly in a basket on the ground.

There is a palm-sized piece of pork belly on the long table.

The owner of the stall didn't treat Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng any special because of their ragged clothes. After seeing that they really wanted to buy meat, he asked, "Do you two want to buy meat?"

Both Zhao Qingfeng and Zhao Canniang nodded.

"Boss, how do you sell this meat?" Zhao Canniang pointed to the pork belly on the long table, and swallowed uncontrollably.

The boss smiled slightly and said, "It was sold at 28 Wen a catty in the morning, and it will be closed at this time, so I will give you a little bit cheaper, [-] Wen a catty, what do you think?"

The scales of Ji Kingdom are all eight taels, that is to say, one catty is only eight taels.

When Zhao Qingfeng heard that it cost 28 Wen, he was a little reluctant. Even if it was [-] taels, it would cost about [-] Wen. If it was white rice, it could buy half a catty, enough for the family to eat for a day.

Zhao Canniang felt a little bit reluctant when she thought about the copper coins on her body.

"Boss, I can't buy so many, can I buy three taels?" Zhao Canniang said weakly.

The boss smiled slightly when he heard it, and then said, "Does the little girl only need three taels?"

Zhao Canniang nodded, thinking that three taels of meat would be enough to feed the three of them.

The boss didn't force it. In fact, most of the peasant households buy meat in a few ounces. After all, it is not easy to make money. No one is willing to spend too much money on meat. Filling the stomach is the most important thing.

The boss quickly cut off a piece of meat two fingers wide, and then weighed it.

"The little girl is just three taels, but it's a little flat. I'll give you a little less money, and charge you a whole eight cents." The boss said, tied up the three taels of meat with rice dumpling leaves, held it in his hand, and gave it to Zhao Canniang .

Zhao Canniang handed the meat to Zhao Qingfeng, then took out the copper coins given by shopkeeper Zhang in Tianxianglou, counted them twice carefully, and then handed it to the meat stall owner.

"Boss, do you sell those bones?" Zhao Canniang actually wanted to ask about the pork liver, but she was reluctant to pay for it. The nutritional value of the pork bones was very high, so Zhao Canniang wanted to buy it and cook it in soup.

When the butcher stall owner asked about the bone, he stood up and said, "You can get this bone for two cents." Usually, everyone eats pork ribs, and these miscellaneous bones have no meat on them, so basically they don't buy them.

Zhao Canniang's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Boss, I bought this bone, brother, take off the basket and put this bone in a basin."

Zhao Qingfeng didn't understand why Zhao Canniang bought this bastard.

But thinking that two pennies is not much, I just thought it was buying a candy man for Zhao Canniang, and my heart suddenly felt balanced.

After paying the money, the butcher put the mixed bones into the wooden basin.
