Yang Liu was afraid of meeting acquaintances who were going to town to buy things, so he set out early in the morning. When they arrived in town, it was just dawn.
They originally thought they were early enough, but when they arrived at the factory gate, Zhao Liu was already waiting there, and he brought a helper with him.
When they heard the noise of the donkey cart, they came over immediately. "I knew this couldn't be made public, so I came here early in the morning."
As he spoke, he helped to unload the meat from the donkey cart. Yang Liu smiled and said, "Uncle, you are so open-minded. I like dealing with people like you."
"This meat weighs a total of 35 kilograms, but some parts are not good, so I'll count it as 30 kilograms and calculate the price at 80 cents per kilogram. What do you think?"
Normally, when buying pork outside, good quality meat would cost at least one dollar and fifty cents per pound. Now that he could get the meat at such a cheap price, Zhao Liu felt that he had made a fortune and had no complaints. He was afraid that Yang Liu would go back on his word, so he quickly paid the money and then carried the meat with the man to the factory.
After counting the bills in his hand, Yang Liu grinned happily, feeling that he was one step closer to his dream of getting rich.
Thinking about the good money she had made today, she decided to buy some ribs and pork and go home to treat her family.
Last time, she didn’t get to eat any of the delicious ribs I bought. They were all eaten by her uncle’s family.
This time, even if the king of heaven comes, she will not let go.
The meat in your mouth must not be let go.
Seeing his wife's excited look as she couldn't wait to spend the money, Chu Yue secretly curled the corners of his lips, then silently drove the donkey cart behind her.
It was still early, and today was the black market day. Yang Liu had been here several times and was basically familiar with the place. She bought a piece of pork ribs and five pounds of pork. Now that the weather was cooler, pork could be stored, so she bought more.
I also bought two boxes of malted milk. Although Yang Bai's life is much better now than before, he had a poor foundation in the past. In addition to eating eggs, he also has to drink some malted milk to supplement his diet, otherwise it will be bad if he doesn't grow tall in the future.
She was just doing some shopping, but she was carrying a lot of things in her hands, big and small bags. Chu Yue saw her as soon as he walked over and said with a smile, "Let me hold the things."
"Why are you here? Where's the car?"
This donkey cart is borrowed. If it is lost, it will be difficult to explain.
"Don't worry, there are people watching over the donkey cart."
Originally, Yang Liu hadn't planned to buy anything else, but now that someone was helping her carry things, her shopping desire was rekindled, and she bought some flour, brown sugar, and a few pieces of cloth.
She was in a good mood today, and seeing that Chu Yue had followed her to the town early in the morning, even if he had no merit, he had worked hard, she pulled the man and said proudly, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a delicious meal."
Then she took him into a noodle shop, and she ordered two bowls of beef noodles, one with chili and one without.
I have to say that the pork and beef of this era are local products that have never been fed with feed, and they taste particularly authentic.
Yang Liu finished a bowl of beef noodles and still felt a little unsatisfied, but a bowl of beef noodles cost thirty cents and required a ticket. She thought about it and decided to give up, as she could buy a lot of things with that money and ticket.
Chu Yue looked at her troubled little face, then stood up and bought her a bowl, and handed it to her: "Eat if you want, it's just a bowl of beef noodles. It's not like I can't support you."
Wow, what a big tone.
Yang Liu picked up a piece of beef and ate it, puffing her cheeks and glancing at him. "You have no ability, but you are so arrogant."
Seeing that his wife didn't trust him, Chu Yue just sighed silently in his heart and said that he would work harder when he got home. Next time, he would show her a heavy pile of money so that she would not question him and would be willing to eat and wear more in the future.
On the way back, Yang Liu also bought some cockscomb dumplings and some sugar-coated rice cakes. Her parents liked them very much, but they usually couldn't bear to eat them. Now that they have more money, she would buy a few and bring them back for them to try every time she came to the town.
While the couple was shopping and enjoying delicious food in the town, Qin Meixia was so happy at home that she almost blew the roof off the house.
These days she got up early and went to bed late just to keep an eye on Yang Liu. Finally, her hard work paid off and she found something.
That day she saw Yang Liu coming down the mountain with a basket on her back, and she thought she was going up to pick grass for pigs, so she didn't pay much attention to it. But yesterday she saw that person coming down the mountain again, and she was acting suspiciously.
After she walked away, she secretly went up the mountain and found that there was a lot of blood on the ground, and there was a pit next to it. It was obviously a trap dug by humans.
The man must have caught some prey in the mountains.
Generally, if you hunt small animals like pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, you take them home to eat. If you hunt large prey, it must be confiscated and shared by the whole village. Otherwise, you will be accused of eating for yourself, and you may even be labeled as a "speculator".
Qin Meixia had waited for a whole day, but she didn't hear anyone in the village distribute the meat, so she could almost conclude that Yang Liu must have eaten the meat all by herself.
She didn't get any physical evidence this time, but judging from the situation, Yang Liu would definitely continue to do such things. She decided that she would take sick leave recently and do nothing but keep an eye on her.
If she were to reveal this matter at that time, her reputation would surely be ruined.
Then Brother Yue would be hers.
When Yang Liu and Chu Yue came back, they had a lot of harvests. However, because they bought so many things, they drove the donkey cart to the door of their house. After they took all the things in, they drove the donkey cart to Uncle Tao's house to return it to him.
When he went there, he did not go empty-handed. He brought with him a pound of flour and a pound of brown sugar.
Normally, when villagers borrowed the donkey cart, they would either give some money or some things. Uncle Tao would not accept money, so they would give him some food, which was something they could use on a daily basis anyway.
As soon as she got home, Yang Liu chopped the ribs into pieces, washed them with water, and then rinsed them directly in cold water.
Then stir-fry it again in the pan, add various seasonings, then add water to cover the ribs and start cooking.
Today she wanted to make a delicious treat for her family, a piggy quilt.
While the spareribs were stewing in the pot, she scooped up a bowl of white flour and two bowls of cornmeal, added water and mixed them, then rolled them into dough of appropriate thickness.
At this time, the ribs in the pot were also stewed. She scooped out a bowl of soup, and then added the mushrooms, potatoes and beans prepared in advance, then spread the rolled dough on it and poured the soup on it. For fear that it would not be enough, she also put a few jade-faced cakes on the edge of the pot.
After stewing for twenty minutes, the aroma is fully released.
