"Dad, isn't that Dongsheng? Why is he setting up a stall again today?" He was still wearing such thin clothes.
The two of them saw some radishes, cabbages, and a pheasant in front of the stall. Passersby hardly asked about it. Yan Bingfa walked over with Chunxiao, "Dongsheng, you're setting up a stall just after the new year?"
Dongsheng then noticed them, "Uncle Bingfa, Sister Chunxiao, you are here for the market." Seeing them, he showed some joy in his disappointment.
"Dongsheng, didn't I tell you that if you get something good, ask me first. How did you get it to the market? Can you give me a cheaper price so that I can sell it at a high price at the market?" Chunxiao said deliberately.
"No, no, Sister Chunxiao, don't get me wrong. I know you accepted my things to help me. How could you eat so much by yourself? The weather has been cold recently, and the animals in the mountains are not active, so the harvest is not much. My father asked me to sell some vegetables, so I sold them as well." A tall young man spoke without much confidence.
"How is your mother's illness?" Yan Bing asked.
"It's still the same, sometimes good, sometimes bad." He gave a wry smile. "Maybe it will get better when spring comes and the weather gets warmer. I need to sell these things today and buy some medicine."
Yan Bingfa looked at him and suddenly took out a tael of silver from his pocket. He squatted down and stuffed it into his hand. "Please keep it. These are considered as loans from your uncle. When you have made a living in the future, you can return them to me. There is no rush."
"How can this be possible?" Dongsheng looked at him in surprise. "Uncle, how can I borrow money from you?"
"Keep it safe. There are people watching on the street, so don't let thieves target you." This money was originally used to buy a sled, and he still felt a little distressed for Dongsheng.
"Just keep what my father gave you. We still need to get medicine for your mother, so don't delay." Chunxiao also advised.
Dongsheng accepted the money in silence, "Uncle, Sister Chunxiao, you are both good people."
"Okay, it's time to go back after we strolled around. It's not convenient for me to carry a sled, so I won't say any more." The two looked at each other again. Chunxiao bought some food at the market, and then followed Yan Bingfa to the town entrance to find the ox cart to return to the village.
There weren't many people taking the ox cart out today, and even fewer taking the cart back, only one or two people, and including them, there were only four of them.
"Bingfa, didn't your family also buy an ox? Why do you still want to ride Eleven's ox cart?"
"We just bought the cow not long ago. We don't even have wheels to drive it, let alone drive it. We bought the cow mainly to farm the fields."
"I just bought this cow and I'm so sorry for it. How can I bear to use it like this?" Yan Shiyi smiled as he sat on the bicycle frame. "It's more convenient to ride in my bicycle."
"Chunxiao, I heard you bought all the land at the end of the village. You're quite capable now. What are you going to plant there?"
Chunxiao knew that many people in the village were curious about the cotton planting. She couldn't hide the fact that she was planting cotton. There was nothing to hide. "The soil on my land is not good, so I definitely can't grow wheat. So I thought of planting cotton."
"Growing cotton is a feasible solution. It's better than just randomly planting vegetables." An old man from the village looked at her and hesitated for a long time. "Chun Xiao, I heard that you picked a top-quality Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains. What does it look like and where did you find it?"
When the others heard the old man ask this, they also moved closer.
Chunxiao glanced at Yan Bingfa, then changed her expression to one of deep thought. "It's shaped like an umbrella used by nobles, and the color is black and red, with a hint of luster. And it's located here..." She thought for a moment, "Dad, do you remember the location? I'm not familiar with that place either."
"How could I remember? The mountain is so huge that we can't even tell where we are when we walk in. But we are definitely inside."
Several people nodded when they heard it, "You are so lucky to have such a good thing happen to you."
Chun Xiao curled her lips and said, "That may not be the case. If someone encounters something and doesn't tell us, we won't know about it, right?"
Seeing that this was probably all they could ask, the few people turned around and talked to Yan Bingfa about other things. Chunxiao dozed off in the car. After delivering the things to the end of the village, Yan Bingfa turned around and went to look for the butcher again.
At 3 p.m., Yan Bingfa and Dashan arrived, each carrying a backpack. This time, they'd brought so much stuff that they were both breathless. Chunxiao had bought a scale to try it out, setting up a large wooden basin in the yard. Yan Bingfa weighed it as he told her: the pig's head was 26 jin (approximately 112 jin), the hooves 24 jin (approximately 112 jin), the ears 24 jin (approximately 1.5 jin), and the tail 1.6 jin (approximately 1.5 jin). There were even a few large intestines underneath; no wonder she smelled something strange. Yan Bingfa said the total was 1,024 wen (approximately 1,024 wen).
It’s really cheap. “Dad, you really got so many pig intestines.”
"Didn't you ask for it? The butcher has it, so I just asked for it. This large intestine weighs more than 10 to 20 pounds, and it's only 10 coins. Go ahead and make it. If you can make it delicious, it will be a great deal. I want to see how you can sell this large intestine for 40 coins a pound."
Yan Dashan frowned, "Chunxiao, if you really want to braise the large intestine, why not separate it so that the other ingredients don't change their flavor."
"No, big brother, if you wash it clean, there will be no bad smell. I promise you will like it when I stew it. Otherwise, let dad watch here and you accompany me to the river to wash the large intestine."
"Walk!"
Chunxiao went back to the house and scooped half a basin of flour into a small basin.
"What are you doing with the flour?" Yan Dashan was puzzled.
"You need to use flour to wash the large intestines, otherwise they won't be clean. Just follow my instructions." The two of them went to the river to wash the large intestines. Chunxiao demonstrated to Yan Dashan step by step. At first, the smell was indeed unpleasant, but later it gradually became less so. When they were halfway through, Zhou came over and gave her some more instructions. The river water was icy cold, but there was no other way. If you didn't wash it in the big water, it wouldn't be clean. It took the three of them more than an hour to wash four sets of large intestines. After washing, although there was still some smell, it was no longer smelly. Yan Dashan and Zhou thought it was amazing.
