Shi Qingqing dreamed of her next thirty years, a life where she would face endless hardships and misfortunes due to poverty.
The day she woke up, she cut her finger on a seashell from the bea...
Chapter 12 Shopping makes people happy
There is only one small part of a pig - the pork belly, which is located at the shoulder blade. The meat is beautiful and tastes great, and it is also the most expensive among all pork.
Shi Qingqing didn't dare to be so extravagant for the time being, so she just looked at the meat from other parts.
The tenderloin is the tender meat inside the pig's spine. It is very tender and smooth, suitable for stir-frying, deep-frying, and making sweet and sour pork tenderloin.
Pork belly is located in the pig's abdomen, with alternating fat and lean parts. It is suitable for making braised pork or Dongpo pork, and the front leg meat is suitable for making stuffing.
After careful consideration, Shi Qingqing bought one pound of pork belly and tenderloin for 3.5 points each, one pound of front leg meat for 3 points, and an extra-large pig's trotter.
There are cheap rice and expensive rice from Wuchang. Shi Qingqing bought the cheapest rice, which cost four points for ten kilograms. Oil is available in bottles and in bulk, and the price can differ by twice. Shi Qingqing chose the bulk, which cost five points for two liters.
I bought a box of noodles for 10 points, which was a 5-kilogram package.
"One pound of flour, two pounds of sugar, this salt looks really good, it doesn't smell damp like the bulk salt sold in the grocery store... I want two pounds too! Bulk soy sauce, vinegar, cumin powder, chili powder, pepper powder, ah, sesame oil!
Garlic, peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes, the prices are not more expensive than those in the vegetable market, hey, I'll have one of each." Please check out one by one and add them to the shopping cart first.
There were so many things, the more she looked, the more there were. Shi Qingqing was so happy that she didn't want to think about anything else and kept pointing her fingers.
After adding a stack of men's socks and a stack of women's socks to the shopping cart, it was estimated that only ten points were left. However, Shi Qingqing saw a product with a promotional message on the drag page at this time.
Dried shallots, five kilograms, two points.
One point for five kilograms of inferior leeks?
"Wait, what is this!" Shi Qingqing saw that ten kilograms of sun-dried dried shrimps were worth two points!
What's the reason for the discount? Except for the leeks being marked as inferior, I can't tell from the pictures why the other items are so cheap. Just like the dried shrimps, twenty jin of dried shrimps cost two yuan?
You should know that dried products are made of several times the weight of fresh products!
Just pinch it with your fingers to make a delicious wonton soup.
When Shi Qingqing was about to scream, something even more outrageous appeared: frozen eel, 300 grams per portion, one point for two portions.
eel!
Shi Qingqing simply removed all three vegetables and replaced them with dried shrimps, two portions of eels, and dried red onions.
The points actually increased by three points.
With thirteen points left, Shi Qingqing told herself that she would not buy anything she saw. "Even if the price of gold drops significantly, I won't spend another point."
When I was about to exit the product page, the product with the word "promotion" appeared again.
One hundred eggs, ten points.
Shi Qingqing clenched her fists.
Tighten it again.
【Purchase the following products for a total of 88 points.】
Shi Qingqing nodded tremblingly [Yes]
[Purchase successful, balance 3 points, the goods will be sent directly to the small warehouse, please pick it up when needed, but the warehouse occupies more than 10 kilograms, 24 hours free, after 24 hours will be charged 0.1 points a day. ]
Looking at the balance of only three points, Shi Qingqing closed her eyes. She was definitely heartbroken, but she was soon amused by the inventory that had piled up like a small hill.
One hundred eggs!
One serving of this rich eel meat is enough to cover a bowl of rice!
There are so many seasonings, meat, and rice!
It's all hers!!
"Hahaha, hahahaha!" This was the first time Shi Qingqing laughed so happily and comfortably since waking up from that dream.
Although she still had very little money, and even owed herself a debt of three thousand six hundred, she had so many things that would have cost two or three hundred yuan, but she only spent a little time and hard work to get them!
"Hahahaha, I can't help laughing out loud just thinking about it." The cycling, swimming, and adventurous stealth of the past few days have all paid off. Even if it gets harder and the tasks get more difficult in the future, she will definitely try her best!
What's twenty kilograms of oyster meat? That place has been dug up almost completely, so what? She'll dig somewhere else!
The coastline is so long that she is willing to walk along it with just a snakeskin bag on her back!
Shi Qingqing cowardly put out the eggs and meat and touched them, and just as she put them back there was a knock on the door.
"Wife, why did you lock the door?" Zhao Fengnian's excited voice came from outside the door.
He's calling his wife again.
Shi Qingqing opened the door and a stack of change appeared in front of her. "Wife, a wealthy guest came tonight. He paid for all the seafood and ordered the freshest ones for him before tomorrow evening. He said he needs seafood for the banquet in the next few days. The more the better."
"These twelve dollars are the proceeds from the sale, and these eight dollars are the deposit he said he had made for the reservation."
Shi Qingqing didn't take the money, but her hand was grabbed by Zhao Fengnian.
He came in from outside, the back of his hand was still a little cool, but his palm was already hot, almost burning.
"Wife, I know you haven't changed your mind about our marriage yet, and I don't know how to make you change your mind, but I know that this matter must be related to my inability to control money.
I won’t say anything else. From now on, as for money, I will give every penny I earn to my family. You have the final say on matters at home and outside the home.”
The words sound nice, but Shi Qingqing has suffered losses in her dreams for decades and doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.
He just sneered. "Okay, let's see how many times you can hand it in?"
Zhao Fengnian gave all the money to Shi Qingqing without any reluctance, and Shi Qingqing immediately kept track of the account.
She touched the seafood, Zhao Fengnian pried the oyster meat, and they were also responsible for the sales, so it was 40% to 60% split.
Well, since the points she uses to buy food probably won’t lose to the rent money that is split equally, she can either ask for one more point herself, or she can split it 50-50.
Shi Qingqing's eyes revealed a hint of relief, and her whole state of mind improved.
She held the money and said she was going out to buy groceries. When she came back, it was already dark. Shi Qingqing was carrying rice, flour, meat, a plastic bag of leeks, a dozen eggs, and some seasonings.
When Zhao Fengnian saw the meat and leeks, his eyes lit up.
Could it be...
"Get ready. You wash the leeks and I'll knead the dough and make the filling. Then we'll make dumplings." Dumplings with leek and pork filling are Zhao Fengnian's favorite dumpling flavor. Shi Qingqing felt that she was used to eating them in her dreams, so she subconsciously chose the discounted leeks.
Zhao Fengnian picked up some leeks to wash, but found that they were difficult to wash and many of them were wilted at the ends: "These leeks will probably rot if left for another half a day. Honey, have you been cheated?"
Shi Qingqing was kneading dough and replied, "The ten cents in your hand."
Zhao Fengnian shut up.
Even though many people's salary is still three or four hundred yuan a month nowadays, one cent is definitely not a lot of money, and it is definitely a good deal to be able to buy so many things.
"It's just difficult to clean up. I don't believe I can't handle you." Zhao Fengnian carefully rinsed off the mud, removed the inedible parts, and cut them with a knife. When he saw the meat, he simply rinsed it and started cutting and chopping it.
The chopping board made a clattering sound. Fortunately, it was not the middle of the night or early in the morning, otherwise there would definitely be a lot of scolding.
