Chapter 309: Potential to be a Commander

Ji Jian had only eaten beef, and not very often, and had never even heard of tripe.

“Is it delicious?”

Yi Chichi was silent for a moment, "I think it tastes good."

But most people don’t do that now.

The chef knows very little.

This is caused by the times.

As an agricultural country, cattle have had a high status and have been protected since ancient times.

Although we have machinery nowadays, it cannot be widely promoted due to technical and production reasons. Cows are still one of the most important farming tools.

This situation continued until after the millennium.

Beef also began to appear on a large scale in butcher shops and on the tables of Chinese people.

"Do you want to go?"

Ji Jian thought for a moment and said, "Go, maybe there's beef there."

The fact is that there was no beef, but the cow's internal organs, head, hooves and some bones were still there.

The tail is there too.

Yi Chichi immediately took a liking to the simply cleaned tripe, grass tripe and other stomachs, and also the cow's tail and head.

The only thing I don't like is the beef heart and beef lungs.

Ji Jian was obsessed with meat, and even though she learned that the beef was gone, she still asked the salesperson, "Is there really no meat at all?"

As she spoke, she took out two White Rabbit candies and stuffed them into the salesperson's hands.

Yi Chichi, who saw this scene out of the corner of her eye, sighed in her heart. Bribing the salesperson with White Rabbit candies just to eat some meat was something she would never dare to think of in her native world.

Coming to this world, I feel accustomed to it.

It’s all because of insufficient resources.

Once the vegetable basket project is launched, people's dining tables will gradually become richer, and only then will life begin to get better.

However, there is still some time before the vegetable basket project goes online, and the most urgent task is to first find out whether all of these can be taken up.

The saleswoman really had no meat. She returned the White Rabbit to Ji Jian and said in a gentle tone, "Sister, it's really gone. How about you buy some ox heads? At least there is some meat on it."

Ji Jian glanced at the bull head and felt that it was better than nothing.

"How much is one pound?"

"Seventy-two cents, no ticket required."

They're all bones, no one wants them.

They didn't want it very much, and they had reserved some meat in advance, so it was better to get rid of it quickly.

To avoid waste.

"Comrade, would you like some?"

"……don't want."

Ji Jian shook his head. This was more expensive than the best pork. If it was all meat, he would have bought it, but there were more bones than meat on the cow's head. It was not cost-effective to spend so much money to buy a pile of bones.

Yi Chichi thought it was a good deal, and she asked with sparkling eyes, "Can I buy the whole bull head?"

In an instant, everyone at the vegetable stand looked at her as if she were an alien.

Some people even whispered that she was a spendthrift woman who actually wanted to buy a bunch of bones to take back.

Ji Jian even advised, "Just buy some tripe. Why buy a cow head? It's just bones."

"That's just what I like."

Yi Chichi made up her mind to buy it. She was going back soon and had to prepare some food for Wen Shi.

The ox head is pretty good. The brine can be made into ice cubes using saltpeter and frozen. It will be enough for him to eat several times.

Then she asked again, "Comrade, can you buy the whole thing?"

“Yes, I can.”

The salesperson nodded blankly, and asked again in disbelief, "Comrade, are you sure you want to buy the whole thing?"

"Sure."

"Shall I weigh you?"

"Don't worry, can we buy all of these?"

Pointing at the tripe and oxtail, she opened her mouth wide.

"I, I need to ask something."

You want too much and the salesperson can't make a decision.

"Then go ask."

Then she went to ask someone.

Seeing this, Ji Jian whispered, "Do you have enough money?"

"Yes."

She patted her pockets. She had an idea in her mind as early as when she learned that Yang Qing fell down because of fighting for beef.

When I went out, I not only carried the eggs, but also put the money and tickets in my pocket.

Ji Jian uttered an "oh" and looked at the roughly cleaned tripes and other internal organs that were emitting a strange smell. She said softly, "Are you sure you want to buy tripes? They seem so difficult to clean."

It is indeed difficult to clean, especially beef tripe, which is very troublesome to wash.

But it’s delicious.

"It's okay. I'll have him wash it when Wenshi gets home from get off work."

"You can ask my old Lin to help."

Ji Jian suggested something, and Yi Chichi gave her a thumbs up, "Not bad, you are worthy of being Lao Lin's biological daughter-in-law."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

I’m afraid Lao Lin will explode.

It didn't explode, but he made a request.

"I'm telling you, you have to let me taste it when it's cooked."

He rolled up his sleeves and muttered to himself.

Wen Shi, who was processing the bull head according to Yi Chi Chi's instructions, hummed, "Don't worry, you won't be left without a bite of food."

Lin Qiuping felt relieved, but the next second he became worried when he saw the beef tripe soaked in water in the basin.

"Sister-in-law, what should we do with this rag-like thing?"

"Use this."

Yi Chichi handed over the brush, and the beef tripe was soaked in salt and vinegar when he got home. The odor and impurities had been almost soaked away, and all that was left was to wash them.

"If the brush is not comfortable to use, you can rub it repeatedly with your hands."

"... or a brush."

Then, the two men squatted in the yard and started working diligently.

Qi Zhiyuan came over with his bowl of rice and ate while watching. He said, "I'll come and help after I finish eating."

Yi Chichi glanced at the tripe and nodded, "Okay, I'll leave the tripe to you."

Sister Qi laughed out loud, "You are really rude."

"There's no need to be polite with you. You all have a share in the work if it's done."

The smell was too strong when it was braised, and the neighbors couldn't hide it. Besides, it would be unreasonable to give it to Ji Jian and his wife and not to Lao Qi and his family.

After all, the relationship is not bad.

So, don’t waste it.

Knowing that he also had a share, Qi Zhiyuan swallowed the food in his mouth and handed the bowl and chopsticks to his wife, "Daughter-in-law, you have worked hard to take it home. I will help Lao Wen."

"Wash it clean." Sister Qi reminded him. He nodded to show that he understood, and then washed the tripe under the guidance of Yi Chichi.

A few people were chatting while washing, and He Yunsong came over.

Looking at the bustling scene in the yard, he scurried in like a rabbit, "Delicious food?"

Yi Chichi took the axe and handed it over, "You're just in time, chop these bones."

He Yunsong glanced at the bones in the basin, took the axe and weighed it, "Making braised pork ribs?"

"Do you want to eat braised beef bones?"

"eat!"

Then he picked up the axe and started chopping the bones.

Lin Qiuping whispered to Wen Shi, "I discovered something."

"What?"

"Your wife has the potential to be a commander."

The corner of Wen Shi's mouth twitched, and he remembered Yi Chichi's words that theoretical knowledge was full, but practical knowledge was zero, and nodded reservedly, "Indeed, she has learned Sun Tzu's Art of War very well."

"Does your wife still read The Art of War?"

Qi Zhiyuan was shocked. Lao Wen’s wife’s hobby was quite unique.

Among the female comrades he has come into contact with, many do not even have a junior high school education, and those with a high school education are even rarer. There are also many who have only attended literacy classes for a few days.

As for the Art of War...

Most people probably don’t even know what it is, let alone have seen it.
