When they went back, two big bundles of firewood were tied to Mo Yu and Xueyu respectively, and there was another bundle that Li Yu wanted to carry, but Lian Er snatched it and Li Yu hugged it.

This time I picked up some dry firewood, so there was no need to dry it. Li Yu and Lian Er put all the firewood in the utility room. Looking at the firewood piled up half a room, Li Yu thought about going before it snowed. Picking up a few times is almost enough.After cooking at noon, Li Yu also found that there was a lot of carbon in the kitchen stove. It was only then that he remembered that when he was a child, he would often suffocate the charcoal in the big stove at home. Although the charcoal produced was not the best, it was still usable.Li Yu thought about holding back some charcoal while cooking in the future, and when the naivety cooled down, the kang wouldn't be able to last the whole night, and if more charcoal was stored, it would be easy to burn in the middle of the night.

After picking firewood all day, the whole family was tired, so they ate some leftover food at noon and rested.

Li Yu woke up from the cold in the middle of the night, and the weather suddenly seemed to be much colder than yesterday. Seeing that the two who were sleeping soundly, Tuantuan and Lian'er, it might be because of the cold that they all huddled under the quilt, without even their heads. exposed.

Li Yu was afraid that they would get bored, so he quickly took out extra quilts from the cabinet and covered the three of them, and dug their heads out of the quilt. As soon as their heads came out of the quilt, they both shrunk their necks subconsciously. .After tucking the quilt for the two of them, he also got into the bed, and fell asleep again in a daze.

In the morning, the whole family woke up as soon as the rooster crowed. Li Yu took out the cotton clothes he had made a few days ago and wrapped the three of them tightly.As soon as the door was opened, a gust of cold air rushed in, making Li Yu shiver from the cold.Li Yu crouched his neck and looked up at the sky. Today's weather is frighteningly gloomy, and it looks like it will snow today.

Lian'er poked her head out from behind Li Yu, "Miss, it's so cold! It's going to snow." Li Yu put his hands together and let out a sigh, "Yeah, it's going to be tonight at the latest. I'm off. I'll go to town with Aunt Liu after breakfast to buy some things. Remember to put the rabbit baskets in the utility room, put more straw in the baskets, and put more straw in the chicken coops. Make some."

"Yes, miss, I know, I'm going to cook now." After breakfast, Li Yu told Lian'er to take care of the house, close the door so she didn't go out, and went to find Aunt Liu.

Since he went with Aunt Liu this time, Li Yu left Xueyu at home.The two discussed today's weather while walking, "Hey, sister Yu, look at this day, it's cold when you say it's cold, I guess it's going to snow today, do you have enough cotton clothes? Do you have enough cotton quilts?" ?”

"Well, don't worry, auntie, the cotton clothes are all newly made in front of the head, and the quilts have been dried in the sun a few days ago, in case the weather suddenly turns cold, Lian Er and I have long gone to collect firewood, now I have also saved a lot, and I guess it will be enough for a whole winter."

"Hehe, that's good. You need to have a plan to live in this life. It's hard for you to be thoughtful. My second daughter is two years younger than you and knows how to play crazy all day long!" Aunt Liu looked at Li Yu with eyes full of satisfaction. And don't worry, thinking that my second daughter is so spoiled by me that I don't understand anything, it seems that I have to teach her well in the future, otherwise what will I do if I find my husband's family in the future.

Li Yu was a little embarrassed by Aunt Liu's praise, and hurriedly said, "Don't sigh, Auntie, it's a blessing to have you loving my sister, and besides, she is still young, so just teach her slowly." It was very appropriate, and he smiled and brought up other topics.

When they arrived in the town, the two found several places that sold pots and pans, and finally bought what they needed at the largest Linji grocery store in the town. The shopkeeper saw that Li Yu bought a lot, and gave him a discount. It took a total of six hundred cash, and he ordered the assistant to drive the cart to deliver the items to Li Yu's shop. Li Yu thanked the shopkeeper and followed the cart back to the shop.It was almost noon when everything was settled, and Li Yu wanted to invite Aunt Liu to have lunch in the town as a thank you, but just as she said it, Aunt Liu's big eyes stared back, "I want to eat at home, What is not to eat? Why are you being polite with your aunt? It’s not that your aunt said that you can’t spend money if you have money. You need money everywhere to open a shop. Hurry back too."

After hearing Aunt Liu's words, Li Yu said with a smile in her eyes, "Hey, what Auntie taught me is that I must pay attention in the future, so let's go back now."

On the way back, Li Yu invited Aunt Liu to eat at his home, but Aunt Liu pushed her away because she wanted to cook for Erya and his father.Li Yu had no choice but to give up. When he got home, Lian Er had already cooked all the meals. After eating, Li Yu saw the increasingly dark and gloomy weather, so he discussed with Lian Er to collect more firewood.The weather was cold, so he coaxed Tuantuan to sleep and asked Xueyu to watch him at home, and took Lianer and Moyu to collect firewood.

After picking up three bundles of firewood neatly, Li Yu and the others went back. On the way, they met Cuigu's sister-in-law, who said that their cattle were old and needed to be slaughtered, and asked Li Yu if he wanted some beef.After coming here, Li Yu also heard from Aunt Liu that if there is a pig butcher in the village, anyone else can buy some if they want to buy some, and the price is cheaper than the ones in the town.Li Yu hadn't eaten beef since he arrived here, so he thought it would be good to buy some and make a beef stew with potatoes.

So she agreed with Cui Gu, and smiled and asked Cui Gu to save some beef ribs for herself. Cui Gu kept saying yes, saying that she was going to report to other people and left.When he got home, Tuantuan had already woken up, but he put on his clothes obediently and played with building blocks on the kang. Seeing Li Yu and the others coming back, he reached out to hug him, "Sister, you are back." Li Yu picked up Tuantuan and kissed him on the face. Take a sip, "Well, Tuantuan is so good, tonight my sister will make you delicious beef stew with potatoes."

Although Tuantuan didn't know what goulash with potatoes was, in his little heart, as long as it was made by his sister, it must be very fragrant and delicious, and the light of joy flashed in his big eyes.

"Lian'er, you're tired too, let's rest first, I'll go to Cui Gu's sister-in-law's house to buy some beef and come back."

"Well, miss, you can go, I'll watch Tuantuan at home."

When Li Yu arrived at Cuigu's house, there were already many people gathered in front of her house, and they were laughing and talking with a few elderly people. Lizheng's eldest son, Shuanzi, and two men who looked a bit like him but looked smaller were helping him sharpen knives and serve pots.Seeing this posture, he immediately killed him.

While Li Yu was watching, someone patted her from behind, and when she turned her head, it turned out to be Liu Lanhua. Li Yu immediately smiled and asked, "Auntie is here too." Liu Lanhua squeezed to her side and said with a smile, "Yes, It’s not rare for the Lizheng family to slaughter a cow, so let’s get the beef back to make up for Bao’er. Who in the village is willing to kill a cow! This cow is a precious thing. If there is a cow for plowing the fields, it will save a lot of effort If the cow in Lizheng's family was not too old to work, he wouldn't be willing to kill it. A calf costs more than two taels of silver."

"Well, what Auntie said is that this is the first time I've seen people in the village kill cattle, and I want to buy some food for Tuantuan and Lian'er, but I don't know how much it would cost per catty if I bought Lizheng's cattle? "It's really because someone gave me a pillow when I fell asleep. Li Yuzheng didn't know how to ask the price. I didn't know the people around very well, and I was too embarrassed to ask Cuigu. Aunt Liu could solve Li Yu's problem.

"Hehe, although the meat of this cow is a bit old, but fortunately, it is decent yellow beef. It costs ten yuan a catty outside. It is slightly cheaper in the village than outside, so we will give you eight cents a catty for this meat. That's fine, by the way, how many catties do you want to buy, Miss Yu?" Liu Lanhua explained to Li Yu competently.

"I'm thinking that this opportunity is rare, so I should buy a little more to make up for Tuantuan and Lian'er. It's cold today and I should be able to take it." Li Yu thought about the beef jerky he loved in his previous life, so he thought more this time. Buy some to go back and cook to satisfy your gluttony.

"Well, it's good to buy more, the opportunity is really rare." As soon as Liu Lanhua finished speaking, she heard Cui Gu's voice behind her, "Yo, Auntie and Sister Yu are here!"

The two greeted her enthusiastically when they saw each other, and Liu Lanhua even pulled her to start chatting, "Your family's cow weighs three or four hundred catties, so leave ten catties for me, and go back to satisfy your uncle and Bao'er's hunger." .”

The cow was slaughtered for sale, and someone bought it. Aunt Duo Cui was naturally happy to hear that, Liu Mei raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "That's natural. Auntie wants it, so what else can I say? I'll let Shuan I will save the best meat for you." After speaking, he smiled at Li Yu, "How much does Miss Yu want?"

Of course Li Yu wanted more. Although he wanted to not be too ostentatious, this opportunity is really rare, and he really likes to eat. Based on the principle of never treating his stomach badly, Li Yu approached in a low voice and said, " Sister-in-law, our family loves to eat this beef, and I thought it would cost sixty to seventy catties if possible, can my sister-in-law do it?" After finishing speaking, he looked at her expression carefully.

Since Li Yu said that it would cost sixty or seventy catties, Cui Gu was stunned for a moment, thinking that the fifty or sixty catties would cost five or six hundred Wen. No one would spend so much money to buy meat all at once, but Thinking about it, I recently heard that Sister Yu seemed to know some rich family to help her, and even bought a shop in the town, so she was relieved.She wasn't a gossiper at all, so she was taken aback for a moment and then recovered.Smiling, he took Li Yu's hand, "Good sister, you have done a great favor to my sister-in-law. I am still worried that this cow will not be finished, so what can I do? My sister-in-law will go tie it to you right away." Brother Zi said, ask him to set aside seventy catties of good meat for you, just wait!" After speaking, he squeezed to her man's side.Whispering a few words in his ear, Shuan Zi also glanced at Li Yu.

Liu Lanhua was a little shocked when she heard that Li Yu wanted to buy so much meat, but she didn't say anything else. She just enthusiastically asked Li Yu to tell her some methods of making beef. Although Li Yu knew better than Liu Lanhua He asked for more, but he didn't take away her kindness, and responded with a smile.

Here Liu Lanhua pulled Li Yu to talk, and the other side had already started to use the knife. Li Yu had never seen such a bloody scene as slaughtering a pig or a cow before his death. Focus as much as possible on the conversation with Liu Lanhua, and try to ignore the cow-killing scene over there.

Liu Lanhua also sensed Li Yu's reaction, and thought with a smile, although she was better than other girls of the same age, she was still a child after all, and she was afraid of these scenes.Because this is also trying to attract her attention.

Soon the old scalper was skinned and cramped by the three Shuanzi brothers, and they began to cut their flesh.Some of these onlookers wanted to buy a couple of catties to go back, and some just came to watch the fun.Those who wanted to buy meat gave money, and left with a smile on their hands. Liu Lanhua also took ten catties of beef to say hello to Li Yu and went home.

When the people were almost gone, Cui Gu pulled Li Yu over with a smile, "I kept my sister waiting for a long time, I asked Brother Shuanzi to save you some beef tendon meat and some rib meat, a total of seventy catties , I don’t think you can handle it, I’ll let your brother Shuanzi send you home later, do you think it’s okay?”

"Hehe, of course that's fine. By the way, sister-in-law, I just saw that beef tendon, can you sell me some?" Li Yugang took a fancy to the beef tendon and wondered if he could process it and use it as a rubber band, but he didn't know. How to deal with it.

"You want beef tendon? Do you want to make a slingshot for Tuantuan? Hehe, if you want it, I'll send it to you tomorrow when Brother Shuanzi takes care of it." Cui Gu immediately thought when Li Yu mentioned the beef tendon It is to make slingshots for Tuantuan, and country boys like to play with this.

Li Yu didn't explain much after hearing it, because he wasn't sure if it would work, so he wanted to try it, and then he would be happier when he heard that he had to deal with it for himself. I thought it would be to wash and dry the tendon, but it was not that simple after thinking about it...

"Hey. Then please trouble sister-in-law and brother Shuanzi. I will give you the money first, and I will wait at my house." After saying that, she stuffed a half-hanging amount of money into Cui Gu's arms, and Cui Gu didn't refuse. Li Yu was waiting at home and would deliver it in a while.
