Chapter 21 Rejecting a lot of money...

So much money, hehe, Su Tao felt like she was floating in the air, and was so happy that she didn’t know what to do.

"Fourth sister, fourth sister, I asked you to collect the money!" Su Li reminded in a low voice while serving food.

Su Tao suddenly came to his senses and quickly took the silver handed to him by the person in front of him.

"Exactly, it's 10 cents." Su Tao rubbed the copper coin in his hand several times and said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Su Li handed over the prepared meal and said with a smile, "Here is your meal, sir."

The man took the rice and took a bite. "Sure enough, Zhu Si didn't lie to me. It's delicious!"

While eating, he praised, "I have never eaten such delicious pig intestines. My dear lady, your pig intestines are even more delicious than meat!"

After saying that, the man took another bite of eggplant and beans. His eyes lit up and he stopped talking and began to stuff the food into his mouth frantically.

It is so happy to eat pork intestines, vegetables and rice in one bite.

All the hard work of the morning was washed away, leaving only full of happiness!

Soon, more people came over as they saw that there were many people at Su Li's stall. All the twenty meals that Su Li and Chen brought were sold out in less than half an hour.

"Huh? Out of stock?" Someone came to buy it after hearing a recommendation, only to find it was all gone. They couldn't help but feel disappointed. They had heard it was delicious, even better than the ones in the county restaurants...

"Sorry, all are sold out today." Su Li made less this time because she was afraid that they would not sell out. She did not expect that they would be sold out so quickly. She had just discussed with her mother Chen to make more tomorrow.

The man looked at the empty rice bucket and said, "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

Then he left.

In addition to him, there was also the Wang family father and son who had just hurried over from the county to sell musk deer. They were extremely disappointed when they saw that all the food on Su Li's stall was sold out.

"I told you to hurry up, but you insisted on dawdling." Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but blame his son.

“…”

Wang Ergou rolled his eyes when he heard this. He said it as if he could hold it in.

Originally, Wang Tiezhu and Wang Ergou had already sold the musk deer they had hunted to a familiar store, but Wang Ergou had a stomachache halfway through the sale, which delayed them.

"If I had known you were coming, I would have saved some for you." Chen said a little embarrassedly.

The Wang family father and son helped them on the road just now, and they haven’t had time to thank them yet.

What a pity, now there is only some vegetable soup left, and some vegetarian dishes left, but the rice is gone.

"It's okay, we father and I can just eat anything..." said Wang Tiezhu.

But after looking around, Wang Tiezhu didn't see anything he wanted to eat. He felt a little regretful and thought he should have eaten in the county town.

Just then, Wang Ergou's voice came from not far away.

"Brother, can you sell me yours?"

On the other side, Song San, who had not had time to eat yet, was stunned when he heard this. He looked up at the man in front of him who was wearing brown shorts and a tiger skin around his waist, then looked at the food in his bowl. He suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had not even picked up his chopsticks yet.

"No, no." After saying that, he picked up a piece of pig intestines. The pig intestines were of moderate size and slightly rolled up. Almost every piece was covered with chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. The color was shiny and bright red. It did not have the stinky smell as imagined, but instead had a rich fragrance. Song San quickly put it in his mouth.

However, after just two chews, he was stunned. How could the taste be so different from what he had imagined? Not only was it not smelly at all, it was even more fragrant than the meat. The texture was also very strange, indescribable, but the only feeling in his mind was, delicious! !

Just now he felt a little sorry for the ten cents he had to give out for the meal. He only earned 40.50 cents a day, and a meal was 10 cents, which was almost half of his wages. It was really not a small amount of money. But at this moment, everything disappeared, and he even felt that the ten cents was really worth it.

However, Song San didn't eat too much. He forced himself to stop after eating two pieces. Such delicious food must be eaten with his family.

Thinking of this, Song San turned around and started eating the eggplant stewed with beans. However, after putting it in his mouth, Song San found that the eggplant was also delicious, and was not inferior to the pig intestines at all.

As far as Song San could remember, he had only eaten such delicious vegetarian food when his grandmother took him to Baiyun Temple to burn incense when he was a child. He had never eaten it again after that. Even though he had taken his wife and children to Baiyun Temple to eat it several times on the second day of the second lunar month, the taste was never right. On the contrary, the taste of today was very similar.

In the sun, Song San held the bowl in his hands, and for some reason, he felt an indescribable melancholy in his heart.

At this time, several barefoot children with pigtails passed by him, laughing and playing. Song San was in a trance and suddenly found that he had grown from a barefoot child to the pillar of the family without knowing when. His happy and carefree childhood and the relatives who grew up with him were gone one by one.

Just like that, after a while, Song Sancai lowered his head and started to eat his rice in big mouthfuls.

.

…

Brother, no one is competing with you. Wang Ergou looked at Song San who was eating voraciously, with a speechless face.

At this time, Wang Tiezhu, who was looking at his son Wang Ergou not far away, was also speechless. This was such a shameful thing.

"Leave."

Wang Tiezhu strode up to Wang Ergou and pulled him away, causing Wang Ergou to almost stumble and fall.

"Dad, what are you doing? Can't you be nicer to me?"

"Here's some mutton pie."

Wang Tiezhu stuffed a mutton pie that he had bought from the stall next to Su Li just before leaving into Wang Ergou's arms, hoping that the food would shut him up.

"That's more like it." Wang Ergou stood firm and said nothing more.

.

Here, Su Li, Chen and the other two also packed up and prepared to go home. However, before going home, Su Li, Chen and the other two went to the county town first. The three of them split up into two groups. Chen went to buy pig intestines for tomorrow, and Su Li and Su Tao went to deliver food to their grandparents.

Because sales were good today, Chen arrived at her eldest brother's pork stall and said directly, "Brother and sister-in-law, I want four pairs of pig intestines."

Chen Da was sharpening a knife, and Zhao was eating melon seeds out of boredom. They were both surprised to see Chen coming. Chen Da was surprised why Chen came. After all, his younger sister's family was poor and they rarely bought meat. Sometimes he invited her to dinner but she refused. Zhao was surprised why Chen came to buy pig intestines again. Didn't he just give her two sets the day before yesterday?

"What do you want the pig intestine for?" Chen Da frowned. That day he heard his wife say that his sister was so poor that she had to eat pig intestine. He thought it was fake and that his wife was teasing him (Zhao often teased Chen Da about the Chen family's family). He didn't expect that it was all true?

Chen Shi didn't know what was going on in Chen Da's mind, so she told him about selling pig intestines as food. She thought that her brother was a butcher, so it would be better to ask him than someone else. Her daughter also said that the amount needed might be quite large later, so it would be better to give the money to her brother than to give it to someone else.

"If my eldest brother and his wife kill a pig in the future and there are pig intestines, please keep them for me and we will calculate the price according to normal."

"Are you serious?" Chen Da was still a little skeptical. Eating pig intestines? It smelled so bad? Who would buy it? But seeing his sister's sincerity, he began to believe it.

He smiled and said, "That's great! It'll give me another way to make a living. Okay, that's no problem. Pig intestines aren't worth much, so it doesn't matter if you pay me or not."

Chen Da was honest and simple-minded. He was really happy for his younger sister Chen Shi when he heard her words. He thought for a moment and said, "I didn't expect that the fifth girl was such a good cook."

Chen also agreed that the dishes cooked by her youngest daughter were indeed delicious, but one thing is for another,

"How can this be possible? My sister-in-law gave it to me for free last time." Chen didn't come here to take advantage of me, so how could she not give me money? Besides, this was not a short-term business deal, she planned to stick with the other party for a long time.

"Since my younger sister said so, let's buy it for 2 cents a pair." Zhao on the side suddenly interrupted with a smile.

Chen Da was stunned when he heard this. "No need. It's just a few pig intestines. Why would you want silver for them?"

Chen Da was a rough man. He didn't notice that Zhao's face changed when she heard this.

Chen saw this and was afraid the two would quarrel over this, so she quickly said, "Two cents is enough. Let's make it a deal. I estimate you'll need about four more pairs tomorrow. I'll come and get them then."

After saying this, Chen took out her purse, counted out eight coins and placed them on the chopping board.

Seeing this, Zhao picked up the copper coin without waiting for Chen Da to speak. She also gave her husband Chen Da a look and said, "Did you hear that? My sister said it's okay."

"Girls are still the best. They come specially to take care of our business!"

"Sister, you don't know, your two nephews' education costs are really too much. They spent five taels of silver on the tuition fee two days ago. Oh... It's a headache to talk about it. For a family like us, we don't have a mountain of gold and silver at home. We spend money every day when we open our eyes. No matter how much we earn, it's all spent. And your niece is getting married soon, and the dowry is not yet ready..."

After receiving the silver, Zhao's attitude became better and she started to play the victim. Chen echoed her a few words until her eldest brother Chen Da skewered the pig intestines and handed them to her.

"Then brother, sister-in-law, I'll leave first." Chen felt that she didn't know what to say if the conversation continued.

After saying that, Chen was about to flee with the pig intestines in her hands. However, before she had gone far, she saw her eldest brother Chen Tiezhu chasing after her with a bag of meat weighing about 2.3 kilograms and two large bones in his hands.

"Take this meat and bones back. I heard your mother-in-law fell down, and I wanted to give them to you for a long time, but I never saw them. Now I'm busy every day, so you can take them back."

"What are you doing, brother? No need. My mother-in-law said she won't accept anything. Take it back quickly." This time, Mrs. Wu fell down, and several relatives came to visit, but they were all turned away by Mrs. Wu. No one's family was rich, so it was not a big problem. There was no need to accept anything.

The two of them argued for a while, and when they saw that Chen really didn't want to accept it, Chen Da gave up.

"Then take this bone and go back to make soup for your mother-in-law."

The bones were worthless, so Chen accepted them.

"Thank you very much, brother. I'm leaving now."

"Be careful on the road, and don't come tomorrow. I'll bring you pig intestines when I collect the pigs this morning."

It costs two cents to enter the county town, and Chen Da did this to save money for his sister.

Chen naturally knew this and was very touched.
