There was nothing at home now, and he bought some supplies along the way. The basket behind Qi Wanfeng was gradually filled with half of the supplies.
An An licked the candied haws in his hand while walking, licking off the outer layer of sugar, and then scooped a red fruit into his mouth. It was so sour that he squinted his eyes happily. In the end, there was only one left, and he himself was reluctant to eat it.
"Mom, eat it." After hesitating for a moment, An An decided to give the last candied haws in his hand to his mom, happily wanting to share the best things with mom.
"Be good, An An eats it, and Mom doesn't eat it." Qi Wanfeng touched the child's head, with a smile on his face all the time, feeling very warm about the child's filial piety. Holding the child in her hand, she kept paying attention to her husband who was walking with a cane, and reached out to support him in case he was tired.
On the way out, they passed by a pork stall, and Cao Xiangnan's eyes inadvertently swept across the pork stall, and his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he stood there without moving.
Qi Wanfeng also stopped, holding the child, and looked in the direction her husband was looking. They saw a pork stall, and said, "Husband, do you want to buy some pork? We still have pork at home, enough for a few days."
So what he meant was that the family had no shortage of these, so there was no need to buy them.
An idea flashed through his mind, and Cao Xiangnan's face showed joy. He grabbed Qi Wanfeng's hand and said excitedly, "Wanfeng, I thought of a way, I thought of a way."
"Huh?" Qi Wanfeng's eyes were puzzled. He didn't know why his husband was so happy. He followed his words and asked, "What method did your husband think of?"
Cao Xiangnan was really happy. He had been thinking about what to do all the way, and now he finally had an idea in his mind.
People in this era eat pork for the meat, even if it is with bones, the meat is removed and sold, and no one wants the bones left. Things like offal are very cheap, and things like pork with strange smells are rarely bought by poor people, because no one knows how to handle these things, and they always have a smell that makes people difficult to swallow.
But if these things can be processed cleanly, they are simply delicious. Cao Xiangnan had an idea in his mind. The cost of these things is very low, basically it is equivalent to picking them up for free. He thought he could do something.
"Young husband, do you want to buy pork? There is still a little left. I will sell it to you at a low price." The boss sitting in front of the stall saw people standing not far away staring at his stall. There was still a little pork left on the meat stall. He also wanted to sell it quickly and go home, so he wanted to sell it at a low price.
At this time in the afternoon, the pork has been sold out. Most people buy pork in the morning. At this time, there is only a little left. Fortunately, the weather is not hot yet, otherwise the meat will be smelly now.
Cao Xiangnan waved to the other party, meaning that he would not buy pork. He turned to look at Qi Wanfeng and said, "Wanfeng, I know, we don't buy pork. I have an idea in my mind, I'll tell you when I get back. Now let's go to a place to buy some things we need."
Qi Wanfeng was puzzled and had to follow him.
They visited several grain stores and grocery stores in succession. The seasonings of this era were not as complete as those in later generations, so they only bought a few. Cao Xiangnan wanted to go back and think about the rest.
The sun moved westward in the sky, and they left the city gate and got on the car they came in. The family of three sat in the car, and several brothers got in the back. Everyone bought a lot of things, and some people went there with a lot of things and returned empty-handed.
The old man sitting in the front drove the ox cart back to the village.
