Chapter 13 Fame
"That happened a long time ago. I was hit by a wild boar before. I didn't feel much pain at that time. It's getting late. Tong girl, please go back. If you have anything to do in the future, you can ask me for help." Xiao Ninglang said weakly. Said.

Only then did Tong Zhuzhu realize that it was getting dark outside, and the family members must have been panic-stricken, so she hurried home without thinking about what to say.

When I got home, I found that the whole family was waiting for her in the yard. The elder brother even shouted that he wanted to go to the mountain to find her. Seeing that it was getting dark, Mrs. Wang was not allowed to go.

As soon as she entered the door, everyone rushed towards her, seeing that there was blood on her body, and was terrified. Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked her, "Where did you get hurt?"
Tong Zhuzhu saw that there was blood on her sleeves and chest, and quickly explained: "Mother, don't worry, it's not my blood. I met Xiao Ninglang who was hunting on the mountain today. He was injured. I will help him." Send him home, accidentally stained."

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. They knew the Xiao family boy, but they were not familiar with him. They just knew that his life was hard, so they didn't feel relieved.

Tong Zhuzhu hurriedly changed her clothes, ate a few mouthfuls of rice and started to prepare stewed meat. She had to go to the town tomorrow. The thatched shed in the yard had already been erected, and two pots were boiling water on the new stove.

She put the pig offal into the water to remove the fishy smell, and also put some wild ginger found today to remove the fishy smell. After blanching, she took it out and put it in yesterday's marinated pot. A pot of marinated water can be used repeatedly if it is well preserved. The more marinated, the more fragrant, but there is no way to preserve it here, and the weather is not too hot. She prepared a pot of brine for almost three days.

Today she prepares a pot of stewed vegetables, and a pot of stewed pigs into the water. If they are not separated, the taste of the vegetarian dishes will be mixed.

The brine was still made like yesterday, and all the vegetables were put in after boiling. She also peeled dozens of potatoes and put them in. The potatoes were grown by her family last year, and then simmered slowly over a small fire.

Tong Zhuzhu sat on a small bench, watching the fire, and as far as she could see, the family was doing their own things in the yard. My father and two older brothers were weaving a large round dustpan with bamboo strips, which would be used for display tomorrow. Meat.

The two sisters-in-law are tying bracken, Chinese toon, and wild onion with palm leaves, neatly and neatly.

Looking at the stars in the sky, she only felt that the past few days had been fulfilled and happy.

In the middle of the night, Tong Zhuzhu was already sleepy like a chicken pecking at rice, and she was greeted by bursts of strong aroma. She felt that she had been marinating for several hours. Let them soak like this in the middle of the night. It will definitely taste delicious tomorrow morning I went to sleep by myself.

The next day was slightly brighter, and Tong Zhuzhu started running in the yard. No matter how busy these two days were, she continued to run.

After she finished running, the whole family got up one after another. Tong Xin and Tong Yi nimbly picked out the lo mei and put them in two wooden barrels. Two round dustpans, and set off for the town.

Tong Zhuzhu looked at the three of them going to the town together today, but she didn't need to take anything, and she was also happy to relax, after all, it took two hours to walk.

When they arrived in town, Tong Yi went to Meimeixuan to deliver goods. As soon as Tong Zhuzhu and the others arrived at the pier, the old woman from the small noodle stall yesterday called her over.

Tong Zhuzhu was still worried that she might have to change her seat today, but she didn't expect the old woman to take her seat, so she hurried forward to thank her.

The old lady just told her not to be polite, because her stewed meat business brought many customers to her noodle stall.

There were more and more people, Tong Zhuzhu hurriedly called her elder brother and younger uncle to put out the stewed vegetables.

The people who had already eaten yesterday saw her coming, so they hurried over to buy. The elder brother Tong Xin was in charge of collecting the money, the younger uncle was in charge of weighing and packing, and Tong Zhuzhu was in charge of cutting the food herself.

A man pointed to the vegetarian dishes and asked, "How do you sell the ingredients here? Does it taste the same as meat?"
Tong Zhuzhu quickly answered him: "This vegetable dish is made in the same way as meat, and it is not as expensive as meat, and the vegetable dish only costs ten yuan a catty"!
The man had already heard yesterday from his workers how delicious and fragrant the stewed pork was, but the price was too expensive, and he had a sick mother at home, so he needed a lot of money for medicine every month.

Today's vegetarian dishes only cost ten cents, and he immediately asked for a catty, and wanted to save some for his mother to taste.

With the first person to buy vegetarian vegetables, go back to the work team to publicize, people who were greedy for meat and had no money yesterday, all came to buy vegetarian vegetables today.

Tong Yi went to deliver wild vegetables and came back and joined the busy team. Tong Zhuzhu was busy cutting vegetables, and the others were busy collecting money and packing them. There were too many people, and everyone consciously formed a long queue.

A somewhat familiar voice sounded: "Give me two catties of meat, two catties of vegetables, a little bit of kelp and tofu."

Tong Zhuzhu raised her head, isn't this the big brother who was the first to buy yesterday?She greeted with a smile: "Brother, it's you, how about my home's lo mei delicious?"

Brother Zhang replied: "Delicious is delicious, but I always like spicy food. It would be nice if it could be a little more spicy."

A man in line next to him heard it, and quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, Zhang Tou is right, it would be nice if it was a little spicy."

When Tong Zhuzhu heard this, she didn't expect that the customer who bought so much was actually the foreman of the pier, no wonder she bought so much!

I didn’t have time to think about it, so I said to him: “I’ll call you Brother Zhang, I also thought about making spicy braised pork, but I was just worried that everyone would not accept spicy food, since you all made suggestions , I will try to make a spicy one."

Brother Zhang laughed loudly and said, "That's a good relationship, and I dare not say too much, but most of the workers on the dock like spicy food. You just make it, and someone will definitely eat it." After finishing speaking, he left.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and all the lo mei were sold out, and there were more people from the town queuing up to buy them today, not only the dock workers.

The four of them stopped to wipe away their sweat, but they all had smiles on their faces. As long as they can make money, they will not be afraid of being tired.

After I packed up my things, I hurried to buy pork offal, kelp, tofu, etc. I wanted to prepare things for tomorrow, and I also bought a large bag of dried chilies, corn, flour, etc. Anyway, I bought all the things I needed at home. I rushed back.

After returning home, Tong Zhuzhu took out the purse that several pairs of eyes were staring at, poured out all the money inside, and several people gathered around the small table to count.

When the counting was over, Tong Xin's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Isn't it just a dream, did you earn more than three taels in half a day?"

Tong Yi was also frightened, they had never made so much money all at once.

Only the little uncle Tong Dajiang, who had gone to sell it once, was a little calmer.
