"We secretly slaughtered this pig in the mountains early this morning, so we were a bit late," the young man said awkwardly, "so we didn't have time to scrape the meat off the ribs and the big bones."
"Then what?" Shen Qingli was puzzled. It was just right that the meat was not scraped off the bones!
She had always disliked the fact that the meat on ribs these days was generally scraped too clean, leaving only the bones.
"These ribs are sold individually for one dollar, and the large bone sticks are eighty cents, but now that they haven't been scraped clean, they have to be sold at the same price as pork. They're all one dollar and fifty cents with a ticket, and three dollars and fifty cents without a ticket."
After the young man finished speaking, he looked at Shen Qingli's face. Seeing that she frowned, he quickly reached out and took out all the ribs from the bottom of the backpack.
"Look, comrade, the meat is so thick. It's even more delicious when stewed with the bones than pork alone."
Shen Qingli looked at the half pork ribs carefully and was very satisfied.
These are the spareribs she often ate in her previous life!
"How is the comrade?" the young man asked carefully.
He tried to sell these spareribs all morning but couldn't get any of them to sell because he was selling them at the same price as pork.
So people would rather buy pork than his ribs.
Everyone complains that the bones are too heavy and not worth it.
"How many ribs do you have left?" Shen Qingli asked.
"Comrade, to be honest with you, I didn't sell a single bone from this pig today." The young man sighed softly.
"Give me a discount, I want them all!" Shen Qingli said after thinking for a moment.
In this weather, even though there is no refrigerator, the ribs should be able to be kept for two or three days if they are hung in the well.
If that doesn't work, you can just pickle it with salt.
By the way, she had to buy some salt later. The food this morning was as bland as postpartum meals. She went to the kitchen and took a look, and sure enough, the salt jar was empty.
In order for my father, mother and brothers to have a good meal this autumn, the harvest will have to be shared with other members of the Shen family.
"The most I can give you is thirty cents. If you have a ticket, it's one dollar and twenty cents. If you don't have a ticket, it's three dollars and twenty cents." The young man said after frowning and fiddling with his fingers for a long time.
"Are the pig offal still there?" Shen Qingli asked again.
"Here!" The young man brought a small basket to Shen Qingli.
Shen Qingli took a look and found the pig heart, pig liver, pig lungs, pig large intestine, pig small intestine, and pig kidneys were all there.
Yes, these pig offal alone can be eaten for several meals.
"In addition to these ribs, cut me ten pounds of pork, including five pounds of pork fat and five pounds of pork belly. Then, how about you give me this basket of pig offal?" Shen Qingli asked, pointing at the pig offal.
"Okay, no problem!" The young man agreed readily and gave Shen Qingli a discount of three cents on the pork.
He has met a big client!
The young man diligently weighed the pork and ribs for Shen Qingli, and then put them into Shen Qingli's backpack one by one.
Even the basket containing the pig offal was given to Shen Qingli.
After the payment was made, Shen Qingli went to buy salt with a basket on her back. After thinking about it, she decided to buy ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour.
If she didn't buy it, Old Lady Shen would definitely not be willing to let her spoil the fine grains in the cabinet.
In the past, whenever the diet was improved and people started eating fine grains, Old Lady Shen would stick to the amount and never make more than one or two ounces.
But that amount...
Anyway, you won’t starve to death even if you don’t have enough to eat!
But during the autumn harvest, we do heavy physical work, so we must eat well!
well!
We still have to separate as soon as possible!
The backpack filled with dozens of kilograms of goods almost made Shen Qingli unable to walk.
Even though I've been exercising for more than two months, my body still isn't in great shape.
After slowly adapting for a while, Shen Qingli was finally able to walk freely with the backpack on her back.
After buying everything she wanted, Shen Qingli left the black market carrying the basket on her back.
In order to avoid being followed, Shen Qingli walked to crowded places. After walking around several streets, Shen Qingli saw that no one was following her, so she found an empty corner and changed out of all her clothes.
Even the mud on his face and hands was washed off with the water in the kettle.
When she appeared in the crowd again, she was the youthful Shen Qingli again.
What Shen Qingli didn't know was that just when she left the black market.
In the corner of the black market, a young man in black looked at her back thoughtfully.
When the young man in black discovered that someone was following Shen Qingli, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
He raised his hand and gestured to the people around him, and someone stepped forward to stop the person who was following him.
······
When she returned to the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Qingli saw Xia Moli chatting happily with her second brother.
She didn't expect that two people with completely different personalities could actually chat with each other.
Seems like they were having a good chat!
"Sister Qingli, you're back!" Xia Moer exclaimed in surprise.
Xia Moer just saw Shen Qingxuan suddenly stop chatting with her, turned towards the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and looked outside.
Sure enough, Shen Qingli came back with heavy steps carrying a backpack.
"Did I delay you?" Shen Qingli asked after putting down the backpack.
"No, no, no one is buying anything right now." Xia Moer shook her head quickly.
"Second brother, let's go. We have to prepare lunch before noon!" Shen Qingli said to Shen Qingxuan.
"Okay, give me the backpack!" Shen Qingxuan nodded, stood up and walked to Shen Qingli.
After Shen Qingli helped Shen Qingxuan carry the backpack, she said goodbye to Xia Moer.
"Sister Qingli, don't forget the weekend!" Xia Moer waved her hand.
"Don't worry, I won't forget it!"
"Goodbye, Comrade Moer, thank you so much for today!" Shen Qingxuan smiled at Xia Moer.
