Eat like a 10,000-yuan household

Those who are greedy are all people who have a good appetite.

It was at the game market last time that they came across a really good commodity: wild boar.

Shen Rushan, who was just feeling indignant, stared at the white fat that was considered the best and swallowed his saliva.

Although pheasant is delicious, it can't be compared with pork. The pork stewed over a slow fire is rosy in color, rich in flavor, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, and melts in your mouth. It is extremely satisfying to eat and the fragrance lingers on your cheeks.

In the days when people only started eating meat during the Chinese New Year, meat coupons were in high demand and could not be obtained without asking for help. Therefore, it was a rare opportunity to come across wild boar meat.

The stall was crowded with people, all gathered together to praise how good the wild boar meat was and how to cook it to make it taste best.

People came one after another. You want two kilograms, he wants three kilograms. The stall owner swung his big meat-cutting knife, slamming it on the chopping board, and proudly talked to the people around him, "This thing is very difficult to catch. I caught more than ten of them with the clamps. I waited for a whole day and night before I caught it. It almost bit my arm when I was removing the clamps."

He stretched out his arm and pointed at a circle of black scars on it, causing the crowd to praise the stall owner for his skills.

Three guys from the medicinal herbs digging team, with a little girl in between, crowded in front of the stall, staring at the cut pork, imagining the mouth-watering taste after braising.

The stall owner thought they were watching the fun and said jokingly, "Don't just watch, try a few pounds."

After the words fell, the three guys all looked at Shen Roujiao at the same time, asking her to make the decision. Even the people around them looked at her excitedly.

Shen Roujiao's mind was spinning rapidly, and she waved her hand, "Boss, give me half a fan!"

The crowd immediately exploded with excitement, and the discussions drowned out the stall owner's question, "How much?" No one had ever seen such a big crowd. Buying five kilograms was considered a big customer.

Half a fan! That's about a hundred pounds!

90 cents a pound, half a fan is 100 yuan.

Many families only earn a few hundred yuan a year.

"The little girl may not be very big, but she's quite boastful. Could it be that she wanted half a catty, but out of excitement and nervousness she said half a fan instead? Hahaha."

The jokes that came out of nowhere were like a fuse that ignited the atmosphere of the stall. There were many people who loved to watch the excitement and joined in the fun, saying, "Half a catty, half a fan, I can't tell the difference."

There were bursts of laughter, and the veins on Zhou Huaiyue's clenched hands popped out.

Shen Roujiao beside him, on the other hand, was neither anxious nor annoyed. She just giggled along with everyone else, which made Zhou Huaiyue so angry that he wanted to scold her for being stupid.

Until the laughter died down, Shen Roujiao stopped giggling.

She raised her proud little face and said to the stall owner in a sweet voice, "I want half a fan! Remove the front and back legs, and then divide them into three parts."

There were some scattered laughters around. Shen Roujiao took out her money and counted out a hundred yuan in front of everyone. She placed it in front of the stall. The crowd immediately fell silent. Only the stall owner shouted loudly, "Here comes the big deal!"

With a few clicks, the pork was divided according to Shen Roujiao's instructions. Several stall owners holding large beam scales came over to help weigh the pork.

Everyone in the market came up to him and said, "Boss, I want half a fan, but you don't even give me a pig's ear."

"Give it away, you must give it away, give a pair, it's because our ears are useless, half an ear, half a pound, we can't tell the difference." The stall owner raised his knife and cut off two pig ears from the pig's head.

Those who had been making fun of her blushed and immediately changed their tune, "Haha, it's really a rare and great job, the girl is amazing!"

Zhou Huaiyue snorted coldly and scolded those people in his heart, "When it comes to making money, you are nothing. You are still making fun of her. Don't you even look at your own weight?"

Weigh, count, wrap, settle the bill, the total is: 101 yuan, minus the decimals, it's exactly 100 yuan.

All three bicycles were in use. The huge pig's hind legs were tied firmly to the back seat of Zhou Huaiyue's new bike. The pig's feet were raised high, looking sexy and a little funny.

Under everyone's gaze, the four of them straightened their backs and left the market.

Before parting, Shen Roujiao stuffed 120 yuan into the master's hand and said, "Today's pork is on my table. You don't have to pay for it. Keep this money for your own use." She didn't care whether Zhou Huaiyue was happy or not and just stuffed the money into his hand.

Turning back, he said to his second brother Shen Tiancheng, "You three have worked hard digging herbs. Take the pork back and have Aunt Zhao cook it. She is a good cook. Send Qiantui to the village chief and ask him to do more to hire people to dig herbs."

"Okay." Shen Rushan's voice was louder than his second brother's. This great opportunity of offering flowers to Buddha made him a little impatient.

When Shen Roujiao was talking to her second brother, Zhou Huaiyue turned around and called her unhappily, "Shen, Rou, Jiao." It made her feel cold on her back.

Why are you still unhappy? You’ve bought the bicycle, you’ve bought the meat, you’ve given the money, what else is missing?

"What's wrong again, Master?" It's so tiring to coax people, Zhou Huaiyue, could you please stop doing that?

"Keep the money. I'll ask you for more when I need it." Zhou Huaiyue rolled up the money in his hand and threw it to Shen Roujiao.

The village brigade didn't have much, but now that he had a bicycle, he could ride to the county town to buy anything he needed and just ask his apprentice to pay for it.

"Why are you so nosy?" Shen Rushan rolled his eyes in anger. No wonder no one wanted to pay attention to him. He really deserved to be a dog. At least the dog would not despise him.

Zhou Huaiyue glared at Shen Rushan and stood aside silently. When he saw Shen Roujiao stuffing the roll of money into her trouser pocket, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

......

In Uncle Shen's courtyard.

The red-braised pork cooked by Zhao Ye was so fragrant that it spread throughout the village. Compared to the wild pheasant last time, which made the neighbors drool, the red-braised pork this time was so fragrant that it was outrageous. The fragrance spread from the beginning to the end of the village, and even Jixiang Ruyi pouts his little nose to sniff the meaty aroma in the air.

The yard was full of people, all waiting for the pork to be cooked.

Aunt Zhao, who had never enjoyed such high attention, praised Shen Roujiao to the sky in the smell of meat that filled the courtyard. "I'm not exaggerating, which girl can be as bold as our Shen family's little sister, who earns money to treat everyone to meat."

Yes, everyone.

As long as you come to join in the fun, you can try at least two pieces. This is something Shen Roujiao specifically asked her second brother to do.

Over 100 kilograms, what a concept, everyone in the village has a share. Pure meat, not meat sauce, meat cubes, meat mince, but big pieces of fragrant braised meat. I dare not eat like this during the Chinese New Year.

Some things have their own advertising effect, which is more effective than saying that you have made more money. After all, who dares to make such a claim if they haven't made a lot of money? No matter how you look at it, it's the confidence of a 10,000 yuan household.

The Shen family eats meat and the whole village drinks soup, which really improves their lives.

Eating well was the top priority in those days. With this paving path, there was no need to worry about no one digging Rehmannia root, and there was no need to worry about the failure to set up a medicinal material purchasing station.

Shen Shanhe was smoking a pipe and sitting in the middle of the yard with his father. The two brothers were praised by everyone in the yard for their vision and courage.

As one of the few families in the village who sent their daughter to attend high school in the county, their decision back then was often laughed at.

It's a waste of money for girls to go to school. It's better for them to find a partner and get married early. Having a stable life is better than anything else.

But now, Shen Roujiao has changed the educational perspective of the whole village with her own efforts and has become a role model for many schoolgirls. Who says that girls are inferior to boys? When the lyrics become reality, we have to give a thumbs up.

Even Aunt Xu and her sister, no matter how jealous and unwilling they were, knew in their hearts that it was indeed a good thing for children to read more.

Before the braised pork came out of the pot, Shen Tiancheng stood beside with an aluminum lunch box, "Aunt Zhao, please fill this up and I'll send it to Master Jiaojiao."

"Okay. Give our God of Wealth more food so he can eat his fill. Bring the small pot over there, I'll serve him some more." Zhao Ye cared a lot about the God of Wealth.

Ever since Zhou Huaiyue came out of seclusion and led the Shen family to dig for medicinal herbs, his title of God of Wealth has become a synonym among the Shen family.

When Shen Tiancheng came with a net bag to deliver the braised pork, Zhou Huaiyue had already set up the table and chairs and was waiting in the yard. The two dogs at his feet were like the two generals, guarding him, the God of Wealth.

Two lunch boxes were opened and placed on the table. Inside were red and black roasted pork, which was soft and tasty. The first bite made the taste buds blossom and it was amazing.

"Why two boxes?" Zhou Huaiyue, who didn't put down his chopsticks, had his mouth full of greasy braised sauce.

"One lunch box is too small to hold it all. Don't take it seriously, it's all my sister's idea. If you don't have enough after eating, Aunt Zhao has left you a small pot." Shen Tiancheng tried to be as straightforward as possible to avoid him causing trouble.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain early tomorrow morning to dig medicinal herbs. In the afternoon, I will go to the county town to buy brushes." Zhou Huaiyue threw the leftover bones to Jixiang Ruyi. The two dogs lay on the ground, holding the bones with their front paws, and chewed them attentively.

?

Didn’t you just come back?

Why go again tomorrow?

Seeing Shen Tiancheng staring at him with strange eyes, Master Zhou took a bite of the juicy fat meat and said with a grin, "Today, I was distracted by Shen Rushan and forgot about it. I have to run again tomorrow. Do you have anything to bring for me?"

?

Shen Tiancheng always felt that he had something else in mind, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he pondered blankly, "What to bring?"

Zhou Huaiyue just ate his own food, too lazy to look up, "If you really don't have anything to bring, please bring the pot you left for me. I haven't eaten enough."

Uh!

You can see that he is really greedy.

…

Zhou Huaiyue, who had a delicious meal, was digging medicinal herbs the next day. He was full of energy and ran all over the mountain with Shen Tiancheng and Shen Rushan.

When they came down from the mountain, a few guys were squatting halfway waiting for them, including the guy who wanted to catch Da Huang last time.

"Tiancheng, Rushan, the educated youth, have returned from digging medicinal herbs!" The man walked up to him with a smile on his face and took the initiative to talk to him.

"Heizi! Wait for us!" Shen Tiancheng guessed their purpose at a glance.

It turned out that the man in the lead was called Heizi, but he didn't look black at all, he looked quite white.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." He shook his head awkwardly and gestured to the others to speak as well.

"Well, Brother Tiancheng, see what we can do with you? My parents said that you have ideas and can do great things, and we want to follow you!" A young man at the back expressed the thoughts of everyone, and the others nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you go to the village chief's house to sign up first, and there will be work next week." Shen Tiancheng pointed out the way for them according to his younger sister's previous plan.

"Okay!" Heizi nodded in thanks.

"Blackie?" Zhou Huaiyue looked at the man who had fought with him and cheated Shen Roujiao out of 10 yuan, and said, "Brother, if you are not good at fighting, then practice more. If you can't afford to lose, then don't play. The past is the past, and the present is the present."

?

What does it mean?

"Don't worry, I will definitely return the ten dollars!" No one else understood, but Heizi understood it immediately.

Zhou Huaiyue said that he is not good at fighting and can only lie!
