Chapter [-] Strike
Zhao Xiaowu didn't refute He Lanshan's words, so he went to deal with the frog with a smile.

While fetching water from the well, he said to He Lanshan: "Lanshan, take Gu to Wangyue Mansion for a while, I will take a while to pickle it!"

"Okay." He Lanshan looked at Zhao Shuangxi with a smile.

Zhao Shuangxi glanced at her reproachfully and said, "Where are you going, what's better, isn't it just a little more spacious than our place in Pingyang County, and the house is a little better. But we can go to the market and buy some vegetables when we come back. , let’s have a good meal as a family.”

"Okay." He Lanshan readily agreed, and seeing Xiaokui following her with a questioning look, He Lanshan asked her to stay and see if she could help Zhao Xiaowu or something.

As soon as he went out, He Lanshan asked Zhao Shuangxi, "Mom, have you passed on the recipe of the marinade to your aunt?"

"That's impossible!" Zhao Shuangxi shook her head like a rattle.

As she said that, she said to He Lanshan seriously: "Your aunt is trustworthy, even your uncle's virtues are known to you. This food business has been poached by the Lu family. The secret is in your own mouth." It's called a secret, and the secret recipe is the same, so I'll give the ingredients to your aunt right now."

"That's right. It's better to be more cautious." He Lanshan also agreed.

Along the way, Zhao Shuangxi talked complacently with He Lanshan for a long time, and talked about how she took the time to make seasonings into packets, and how she fried them into powder in a pot and packed them in bags.

The mother and daughter arrived at the market as they walked and talked.

"Hey, this market is so big." Zhao Shuangxi's eyes were on the stalls. There were three stalls selling meat alone, and they were all together, and then there were vegetable sellers on the other side, and seafood sellers.

Zhao Shuangxi felt that his eyes were almost not enough, and there were many dishes that he had never seen in Pingyang County.

He Lanshan followed behind Zhao Shuangxi and smiled without saying a word. After a while, she will know the difficulties in Wangyue Mansion.

"Walk around, go buy some meat first. Are you thin-skinned? You don't even get bone bones when you buy meat. Mother will ask him to send two bone bones later. When you come back to make soup, you will eat up." Look at your elder brother Xiaowu is now a head taller than your uncle." Zhao Shuangxi walked towards the meat stand excitedly as he said that.

A secretive smile appeared on He Lanshan's face, ah, her mother must be disappointed.

"Boss, bring me two catties of pork belly, and another catty of tenderloin." Zhao Shuangxi took out his purse from his pocket and counted out 42 Wen.

The boss threw the meat into Zhao Shuangxi's basket, and Zhao Shuangxi handed over the money.

"By the way, boss, give me two more barrels." As he spoke, Zhao Shuangxi picked up the barrels by himself.

The boss stared at her with wide eyes.

Seeing that Zhao Shuangxi was about to leave, she hurriedly said, "Stop!"

"Boss, you can't be too fussy about doing business. Your bones are worthless. Why don't you give me two? Be magnanimous." Zhao Shuangxi said, thinking that the boss was angry because of the two bones.

He Lanshan was afraid that Zhao Shuangxi would blame herself if she made a fool of herself, so she quickly whispered into her ear, "Mother, the meat here is expensive, and you don't pay enough, the boss will be angry."

"Give me 85 Wen for the 42 Wen meat here, you want to grab it!" The boss was so angry that his nostrils were rounded, and he was snorting.

Zhao Shuangxi glared at He Lanshan like a dead girl, she only talked to herself now.

"Oh, boss, I came from the countryside. I really didn't know that Wangyuefu meat is so expensive. I'll add it to you." Zhao Shuangxi counted another 43 Wen from his purse and handed it over knowingly.

The boss looked at the bone in Zhao Shuangxi's basket again.

Zhao Shuangxi hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "Boss, there is no meat on this bone. You see, we are outsiders and have already bought a house here. If we want to buy meat every day, I will come to your stall." .”

"Forget it, forget it, I'll give it to you. In the past, I would sell it for three pennies a piece." Seeing Zhao Shuangxi's good attitude, the boss said generously.

Zhao Shuangxi took He Lanshan's hand and left in a hurry, as if afraid that the boss would regret it.

"The pigs in Wangyue Mansion all grew up eating white flour steamed buns. Why are they all pigs? They are worth so much more than the pigs in the county." Zhao Shuangxi said angrily, mainly because he hurried away now. For a tael of silver, her heart ached.

He Lanshan said with a slight smile: "Mom, if you ask me where the money was spent, I spent it on three meals a day!"

As she was talking, she also told the joke about her first visit to buy meat. She wanted to ask someone for pork offal, but the meat stall owner almost drove them away. The pig offal was sold for 25 yuan each.

Zhao Shuangxi was speechless.

"It's expensive. I wanted to buy some vegetables for our family to have a meal. What's going on now? My hands are shaking when touching money!" Zhao Shuangxi said sincerely.

"Mom, this Wangyue Mansion is expensive, and I earn a lot from selling omelet rice. I can earn two taels of silver a day, and I can eat the income of the day at worst." He Lanshan said with a smile, as long as it is not enough to make ends meet. Still can be a bit of a luxury.

"That's right!" Zhao Shuangxi became more courageous when he heard this.

She asked several vegetable sellers, and the vegetables were much more expensive than those in Pingyang County.

She picked and bought a handful of tender water spinach and a Chinese cabbage, and the Chinese cabbage was eaten.

"Let's go buy some crabs to eat." Seeing that He Lanshan had reached the boundary selling seafood, she took Zhao Shuangxi's hand and wanted to move forward. He refused to move forward.

"Good girl, you are so expensive, you have to be patient with your mouth." Zhao Shuangxi refused He Lanshan with difficulty.

The meat and vegetables are so expensive. In her impression, seafood is very expensive. If you buy seafood, two taels of silver may not be enough!
"Mother, we met the owner in Moon Mansion, and he told us that Moon Mansion is adjacent to the inner sea, and the seafood here is actually cheaper than meat." He Lanshan ran forward holding Zhao Shuangxi's hand as she spoke.

Seeing that He Lanshan had already knelt down to pick out crabs, she hurriedly asked the crab seller, "How much is it per catty?"

"Twenty Wen a catty." The boss said.

"It's cheaper than meat." Zhao Shuangxi muttered.

The boss smiled and said, "That's right, my family is too poor to afford meat, and I'm getting tired of eating seafood every day. This crab is still expensive at twenty cents, like tofu fish, it only costs five cents a catty."

"Five cents a catty, that's a catty." Zhao Shuangxi's eyes lit up.

Here, He Lanshan has already taken a good look at the crabs. When picking crabs, he usually uses a lamp to see if the meat has touched the shell, but there is no lamp now.He Lanshan pinched the crab's hind legs to pinch the meat, and picked out the meaty ones.

"Little girl is really good at picking, how about some more snails, this snails are delicious." The boss strongly recommended again.

Seafood is less expensive than pork, so He Lanshan chose some snails, half a catty of sea hare, half a catty of shrimp, a skinned fish, and the mother and daughter went to buy tofu, kelp, bean sprouts, etc., and returned home happily. home.
