The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 89
Butcher Chen looked up at her, waiting for her to change her mind.

Many men like to eat pork kidney, but most women don't like to cook it because it has a fishy and unpleasant taste.

Customers who come to his shop to buy this kind of thing will ask him to cut the pork loin into slices, so that he can cook it when he goes home, so as to save his hands from getting an unpleasant smell.

"Just tidy it up like this, I'll cut it myself when I go back." Su Xiazhi said again.

This time, Butcher Chen stopped talking, and tied up the waist that had been divided into four pieces with a straw rope, and then tied a loop of rope and handed it to her: "Ten...ten...ten...ten..."

"Stop!" Su Xiazhi took the pork loin and weighed it, it was heavy, but what Butcher Chen said was too scary: "Don't go down to ten, it's already forty now!"

"Hehe!" Seeing her nervous expression and saying something funny, Chen Tuhu couldn't help opening his mouth and smiling, then took a deep breath, closed his eyes and shook his head: "Sixteen Wen!"

Su Xiazhi almost took a deep breath with him, and was relieved when he finally reported a number.

It's too much effort to say this!
Putting the things in his hand on the meat table first, Su Xiazhi counted the money from his purse and gave it to him.

Two kidneys cost sixteen coins, which is not expensive.

People's eating habits in that era were still very different from those of today, and the price of goods was also very different from now.

Mutton is much cheaper than pork.Things like pig offal and pork loin are also much cheaper than pork.

Two pork loins are not worth as much as two spiced marinated eggs made by Su Xiazhi.It's not that eggs are more valuable than meat, but that salt at that time was much more expensive than it is now.

Putting away the purse and thanking him very politely, Su Xiazhi mentioned the pork loin on the meat table and walked out.When I got to the door, I didn't forget to take a look at Mao Chang Ji on the opposite side.

Bending down to wash his hands in the basin, he took the cloth towel held by the man who had been standing in the back room and wiped his hands. Chen Butcher looked thoughtfully at the big braid on the woman's head at the door.

And the guy who was blasted into the back room also looked at the door, wondering what kind of woman could make the shopkeeper who didn't use the knife for a long time to clean up the pork loin himself.

"Shopkeeper, it's been a long time since you touched a knife. The girl at the door..."

"En." Chen Tuhu interrupted the man with a casual snort, took the fragrant tea he handed over and walked into the room.

Before she could make up her mind, Su Xiazhi decided to carry the noodles back first.She reluctantly glanced at the crowd coming out of Gu Maochangji's gate, gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely come back..."

I bought a few things for daily use, and arrived at the place agreed with the handlebars early, and she was the first one to come back.

As the sun approached noon, the weather started to get hot and dry.First put the purchased things and the basket on the flatbed cart, and Su Xiazhi also stood under the shade of a tree by the side of the road to enjoy the cool.

"Why did you carry it back again? Can't you sell it?" Asked, pointing at her back basket with a handlebar-style cigarette stick squatting under a tree smoking a pipe.

Miss Su sighed softly, before she was about to speak, she saw that Aunt Gao and several girls from the same village had come back together, each carrying a bunch of things in his hand, all staring at her.

"Hey! People think it's too small, saying that such a small amount of goods can't be sold at all. Let me at least prepare a group of sources that can be connected before sending it!"

She couldn't tell the fact that none of the dried noodles were sold.

You can't let everyone's morale down before her plan is implemented, right?So Su Xiazhi had no choice but to stare and talk nonsense.

Most of the women in Shanxia Village are short-sighted and only want to be short-term. If they know the truth, it will be difficult for her to recruit helpers in the village in the future.

Even if Su Xiazhi fooled everyone first, he couldn't dig a hole for himself in the future because of a careless remark.

"Auntie just said you can do it!" Aunt Gao heard what she said, and walked up to her without caring about carrying a bunch of things in her hand, and said, "Let's lead everyone to do it when we go back!"

"Yes, yes! Now that the spring planting has passed, there is less work in the fields, and we all have free time!" Several girls and daughters-in-law rushed up and surrounded Su Xiazhi in the middle.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces with excited expressions in front of him, Su Xiazhi felt guilty for a while.

Everyone really regarded her as a capable person, and they all wanted to make a fortune with her.But besides the pickled eggs with the unspeakable recipe, what else is there for her now!

"Isn't it too heavy to carry things?" She took the things from Aunt Gao with a smile and walked towards the mule cart: "Didn't you agree on the way here, let me think about it for a few days first."

As she walked, several women around her also hugged her and walked to the mule cart, but they still looked at her eagerly.

The farmers in Shanxia Village are relatively poor.It is the hopeless poverty that is famous in all directions.

There is little land in the poor mountains and bad waters. Such a situation makes the peasants who have been begging for a living in the soil for several lifetimes helpless.

It is also painful to have the strength and no place to do it, watching the family suffer from the hardships of living in a pinch of food and clothing.

Ever since they watched the new daughter-in-law of Min Xiucai's family make a pickled egg that could make money, all their eyes were fixed on Su Xiazhi.He directly passed on the hope of eating well and dressing well to her.

And I think it's a matter of course.

"Everyone get in the car and go home." Being looked at by everyone like a star, Su Xiazhi's heart was heavy, she really wanted to go back and think about it seriously.

"Give me a few days to figure this out before I tell everyone." Finally, she said cautiously to the women who were sitting around.

With this sentence, it will be done!

The mule-carriage woman seemed to have had a reassurance, and she returned home happily all the way, and she began to look forward to waiting for money, so she would buy that piece of pink material woven with gold thread two feet long and make it a close-fitting Wearing a bellyband, which is tightly tied to the body, and the chest is bulging, which makes the men feel angry when they see it...

Everyone got off the car at the big elm tree at the entrance of the village, each took their things, said goodbye to Su Xiazhi, and then dispersed.

Su Xiazhi gave her share of the car fare, and was stopped by the driver when she was about to go home after carrying the shopping on her back.
