Chapter 174: Child Bride She is Happy and Carefree Fourteen
"This little wild boar is not big, only about 20 or 30 kilograms."
"The hunter uncle took two and a half taels of silver from me. What do you think?"
Lin Wanwan also made her decision based on the prices in the town. If this little wild boar was sent to the town, it could only be sold for two taels of silver.
Although the uncle gave her two taels of silver before, that was also the money he gave her for food.
This little wild boar is worth so much money, so if she doesn’t pay for the other things, won’t she lose money?
Therefore, the other party must pay the money.
"Okay, two and a half taels of silver isn't expensive. I'll give you three taels, and you'll give me the whole pig feast."
The men were not short of money and they stayed on the ship for escort all year round, so they had no place to spend money.
It's rare to come across such wild animals, so naturally you're willing to spend money on them.
"Okay, uncle, please wait a moment, the food will be ready soon."
Lin Wanwan received an accurate answer, collected another three taels of silver, and then took the little wild boar to the upstream of the ferry to clean it.
When we came back, the little wild boar had been cut into several parts.
Lin Wanwan plans to make crispy pork belly with three layers of pork belly.
Pig's feet and pig's trotters are used to stew soybeans.
The pig's head is marinated with seasonings.
The ribs are braised.
In addition, the radishes, potatoes and vegetables brought from home can make several plates.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked very quickly. Liu Xiaoyan had never made crispy pork belly, so she was responsible for stewing pig's feet and braised pig's head.
Lin Wanwan scalded the skin of the pork belly she had separated in an iron pan.
Then take it aside and bake it.
Then, we started making braised spare ribs.
When no one was paying attention, he put the crispy pork belly into the space and roasted it in the oven.
In fact, you can also build a ready-made one with mud, but Lin Wanwan doesn’t plan to do it for the time being.
After her plan is implemented, she will make a special oven to make grilled pork ribs, pancakes, braised pork with preserved vegetables and more foods that require an oven.
The fragrance quickly spread, but seeing that there were people with knives, no one dared to step forward.
Especially those coolies, where have they ever seen a big man with a knife walking around?
These people carry knives and may kill people without blinking an eye.
So, when the table was filled with delicious food, the workers took out the steamed buns they brought from home.
With the fragrance in the air, the food tastes three times more delicious than usual.
"Today's meal finally made us feel down to earth again, but it's a pity there's no wine."
"Xiao Linzi, remember to prepare some wine in the store so we can drink it next time we come."
"That means we'll be able to return from Ning County in about a month."
"Xiao Linzi, let me tell you, even though we look mighty and majestic, we are actually very reasonable people."
"You should do business and make money. If anyone bullies you, tell me and I'll deal with them next time I come back."
After eating and drinking their fill, the few people drank up all the bone soup that Lin Wanwan had cooked today.
According to these bodyguards, since they didn't get to drink any wine, they should drink more bone soup to replenish their bodies.
"I've made a note of this. Next time you come back, I'll make sure to prepare some wine for you."
The reason why Lin Wanwan never prepared wine at her stall was, firstly, because she didn't need it, and secondly, because wine was very expensive in this era.
However, they had food at home, so Lin Wanwan didn't plan to go to town to buy it.
I started brewing the wine after I got back, and by the time the other person came back, the wine would probably have tasted better.
Lin Wanwan didn't plan to take out the strong liquor right now. She wanted to brew some rice wine first.
Rice wine has a low alcohol content, but it can make you drunk if you drink too much.
Compared with the yellow wine of this era, the taste of rice wine is definitely not bad.
Moreover, Lin Wanwan has fully mastered the rice wine manufacturing process. After all, she had learned about this in the previous world.
Although Lin Wanwan doesn't like drinking rice wine very much, she likes drinking brewed wine.
Especially the brown sugar eggs cooked with fermented rice wine. Drinking a bowl of it during menstruation can keep your body warm.
Only after the escorts left did the workers approach cautiously.
Seeing that those people really would not come back, they started talking loudly.
"This group of people is much better than the previous ones."
"I remember two years ago, there was a group of men in black clothes, also carrying large swords or long swords. They not only broke the leg of Xiao Li, who came here to sell peaches, but also cut off a large part of the hair of the person who spoke up for him."
"Who says they aren't? Those men in black are so scary."
"I heard that when they came last year, a worker was beaten to death because he was a little slow to avoid them."
"They are a truly evil bunch. They are the ones who scare those of us who carry heavy bags away from people with knives."
The crowd was talking, and Lin Wanwan finally recovered the truth of the matter from their words.
It turns out there really is a group of strong men who take human lives lightly. Those people should be the shameless colleagues that the bodyguards just mentioned.
It's really a bad apple that spoils the whole barrel.
This really scared away all the vendors at the ferry. It will be difficult for them to buy anything when they come down from now on.
"It's time to start work. Everyone, eat and drink. After you finish eating and drinking, get back to work."
Someone shouted, and suddenly half of the crowd disappeared.
Lin Wanwan looked up and saw another merchant ship approaching the ferry.
It is not known what cargo this merchant ship is carrying, but the workers seem to be having a lot of trouble moving it.
"Isn't this the ore from Master Jade King's house?"
Lin Wanwan didn’t know, but the workers who had worked here for a long time could guess something.
"Looking at the merchant ship's name, it should be it."
"Their work is not easy. The jade stones are bulky and heavy. Lifting them is much more difficult than other goods."
Jade. Lin Wanwan didn’t expect that there was a jade business here.
It seems that this jade merchant, Mr. Wang, must be a rich man.
No matter what era, owning a mine at home is synonymous with wealth.
"Mom, the ingredients we brought today have been sold out. Let's call it a day!"
"I'll go to the ferry and see if there's anyone selling fish. If there is, we can buy one and stew it tonight."
As Lin Wanwan spoke, she took a large basket and walked towards the ferry.
"Remember to bring silver."
Seeing her daughter-in-law leaving empty-handed, Liu Xiaoyan quickly grabbed a handful of copper coins from the money box and chased after her.
"Mom, please go back and pack your things first. I'll be back soon."
She wasn't really going to buy fish, she was just using the excuse of buying fish to catch a fish from the river to eat.
Although I made some money during this period and the food at home improved a lot, I never felt like eating meat.
At most, a little more oil will be added to the dish, or a few thin slices of meat will be cut.
How unpleasant this tastes!
So, Lin Wanwan planned to catch two bigger fish and let them die before getting home.
This way you can cook a whole meal!
