Chapter 32 The villagers were tempted by the braised pig intestines
Early the next morning, many people from the village came to Shen Qingyue's house to buy pig intestines.
Shen Qingyue was still busy cooking early in the morning, but there was already a long line outside the village chief's courtyard.
The village chief came out wearing a coat, his face turned pale with fear, thinking something big had happened in the village.
The village chief asked, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
The leaders said awkwardly, "I'm here to buy pig intestines from Shen Qingyue."
When talking about pig intestines, they were no longer shy and even beamed with joy: "Oh my, I never thought pig intestines could be made so delicious!"
"Yes, I got a mouthful of soup yesterday, and I've been thinking about it since last night."
When the village chief heard about this, he felt relieved and sneered, saying, "That's all you can do."
The villagers asked, "Have you ever tasted the pig intestines made by Shen Qingyue? They're absolutely amazing."
The village chief said, "Of course I have." There was a hint of pride in his tone. He had eaten too much yesterday.
I kind of want to show off that Shen Qingyue is not only good at making pig intestines, but she makes everything delicious.
When Shen Qingyue came out, everyone present wanted to buy pig intestines.
Shen Qingyue said: "Ten pieces of pig intestines plus a spoonful of soup, one dollar."
Everyone loves to eat it, but some people are reluctant to spend real money on it.
The village chief said, "This price is right. It's even cheaper than the state-owned restaurants. In state-owned restaurants, there are only a few pieces of pig intestines, and they are all side dishes. Even that is only two yuan."
Shen Qingyue said, "We're all from the same village. If you want to buy, I'll give you three more pig intestines. You can also trade for vegetables. Carrots, potatoes, cabbage, onions, anything is fine." Shen Qingyue was using a lot of vegetables right now, so she would have to buy them. If she could trade for something, everyone would be willing to part with it!
Shen Qingyue continued: "Or, exchange it for firewood."
Shen Qingyue now burns firewood from the village chief's house. Every time she asks to give Aunt Dahua some money to compensate her, Aunt Dahua refuses and looks like she will get angry if she asks her again.
But she feels embarrassed about the cost of firewood lately.
When it comes to firewood, fifty pounds of firewood can be exchanged for one dollar of pig intestines. Now everyone chooses to trade firewood. There is not much else at home, but there is a lot of firewood. It is all chopped, so it is not a big deal to use this to exchange.
And the news spread quickly!
They all watched as bundles of firewood were carried over.
Others followed suit, not knowing what magic there was in Shen Qingyue's braised pork intestines, and so they lined up at the village chief's house early in the morning.
Shen Qingyue went to cook and asked Aunt Dahua to help collect firewood. Chen Mei went over to serve the pig intestines. Thirteen pieces plus a full spoonful of broth.
They couldn't help swallowing their saliva early in the morning when they smelled the fragrance that had been haunting them all night.
"Chenmei, give your aunt another spoonful of soup." Everyone who had eaten it yesterday has become an expert. This soup is full of essence. Dipping steamed buns in it and mixing it with rice tastes better than carefully fried dishes.
Chen Mei just gave another spoonful.
Others followed suit. They were reluctant to eat this small bowl. They took it home so the whole family could have some meat.
By the time Shen Qingyue came out, the firewood had piled up into a mountain. Even if it was burned non-stop every day, it would be enough to last a month.
In the morning, the villagers exchanged a whole basin of pig intestines. Especially those who exchanged later had less soup, so they could only give them an extra piece of pig intestines.
According to everyone's wishes, we wanted to eat it in the evening, but the taste of this pig intestine was too delicious to stay in the evening!
Especially for those who have many people at home, they are afraid that some greedy people will eat it secretly, and they can’t find anyone even if they turn off the phone. So they have to eat pig intestines early in the morning!
Everyone gets a piece, and even the soup is given priority to those who work hard.
Everyone who ate it loved it like crazy: "Mom, this is so delicious. I used firewood to exchange it, why don't you exchange more?"
A woman said unhappily, "How much can we exchange for? It's enough to eat at home. Just try it."
"Hey, I see Uncle Huang, he exchanged three servings of pig intestines for one person, and he ate them all by himself. Oh, he can't finish it."
It’s not enough to eat one piece by yourself, it would be so satisfying if you can enjoy one portion by yourself.
When I think about the people who shared three portions, I wonder if they want to eat such delicious pig intestines as a meal. They don’t even have enough soup to share!
"Or, we can buy some raw food and cook it ourselves." The head of the family couldn't help but say.
Everyone else ate one piece, but he ate two, but it was still not enough.
The women in the house said, "We can't make it taste like this."
It's not like I haven't made it before. Back then, no one ate it, so it was all left over. Now that I'm eating it, I love it and I'm thinking about it again. Humph, man!
The most favored sister-in-law in the family couldn't help but pay: "Mom, please bring me one tomorrow. I want to eat one by myself."
"Hey, you greedy girl. You're just greedy."
Others seemed to be enlightened and wanted to buy one too.
These few bites of pig intestines have aroused your appetite, but you just ignore it?
When the villagers came out, they kept talking about the pig intestines made by Shen Qingyue.
I used to only know Shen Qingyue setting up a stall in the county, thinking it was just a young person's little trick. But after eating this pig intestine, I felt like I had a new understanding of her.
"I really can't tell."
"It's so delicious. My men are drooling over it. My youngest son is the stingiest one, so he even gave me a dollar and told me to buy me some pig intestines tomorrow. It's so delicious."
"It must be said that the village chief is very thoughtful. I heard that we love to eat this stuff, but the village chief eats it every day."
"Really?"
"If I had known, I would have taken them in. Our house is big and has many empty rooms."
"Who says it isn't?"
…
Shen Qingyue was so busy early in the morning that she couldn't even get her feet off the ground. Sitting on the ox cart, she said to Shen Mei, "Sister, why don't we hire someone?" The amount of work she did every day was now greater than before.
Making lunch boxes is hard work. It requires washing and peeling, and it's like a war early in the morning. Now the villagers are staring at me and asking me to buy them.
They work all day and don't get enough sleep at night. Now they feel like they have exhausted half of their energy before they even reach the county.
Chen Mei glared at Shen Qingyue: "It's because the food you cook is so delicious."
Now that the family has separated, Chen Mei's temperament has become more lively than before.
Shen Qingyue said: "Really find someone. We'll have to increase the amount later."
Chen Mei said, "Then let's invite Sister Ying." She is good at work, her family is in financial difficulty, and she has a ten-year-old daughter. I heard that her husband was an educated youth who never came back after returning home.
Life was tight, but she and her daughter always wore clean clothes. She was well-known in the village for her wisdom and ability.
Shen Qingyue said: "You go and talk to her about this. Give her ten dollars a month and keep her busy in the morning and afternoon."
"I'll go and tell it?" Chen Mei was surprised.
Shen Qingyue said: "Sister, you are the eldest sister, and each of us three sisters has to take charge of our own affairs. There will be many more things like this in the future."
Chen Mei smiled: "I know. It's just that I'm used to listening to you, a little kid. When you suddenly let me make the decision, it takes me a while to react. I almost forgot that I'm the older sister. Don't worry, I will definitely not hold you back."
On the ox cart, the two sisters were planning their future route with great enthusiasm, as if they had endless things to talk about.
