"Four cents is also fine!"
"Uncle Wu, I want these spareribs. Also, give me some of these pig offal. I love them."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziwen spoke hurriedly, fearing that he would fall behind and be regretted by Uncle Wu.
"Okay, okay, okay, you'll get a bargain today. 50 kilograms, right? Come here and choose for yourself."
Looking at Zhou Ziwen's cunning look, Wu Dagang scolded him with a smile, but did not refuse.
Like he said, if the meat can't be sold, it will have to be sent to the food station.
But at the food station, it can only be sold for 40 cents at most.
In this case, it would be better to sell it to our own people on the spot.
"Fifty kilograms, and you're buying it right now? Zhou Zhiqing is so rich!"
"Zhou Zhiqing is already rich. Look at his clothes and watch. How can he afford them without money?"
"Hey, why did Zhou Zhiqing get married? It would be so much better if he didn't get married!"
…
Seeing Zhou Ziwen buy so much meat at once, the onlookers immediately started talking.
They also knew that Zhou Ziwen was rich. After all, he built a house right after arriving in the countryside. He couldn't build one without money.
Fortunately, although everyone is envious, they are not jealous.
After all, Zhou Ziwen led them to grow mushrooms and made money for the production team, so everyone was very grateful.
As for Zhou Ziwen buying so much meat, it’s because he has money.
Next, Zhou Ziwen picked some ribs and bought some offal.
Foods like pig intestines, tripe, and pig liver are all his favorites.
When he finished choosing, he put it on the scale and it came to a total of fifty-eight pounds and two ounces.
Wu Dagang generously waived five cents of the amount, totaling fifty-eight jin and two liang.
The yarn cost four cents per pound, and the total cost was twenty-three and twenty-eight yuan.
"Ziwen, did we buy too much?"
On the way home, Chen Shiying asked.
The reason why I didn't stop it at that time was to give face to Zhou Ziwen.
And even if there were no outsiders, if Zhou Ziwen wanted to buy it, she would not stop him, she would just remind him like now.
"It's okay, just treat it as a change of taste. Our family can afford it anyway."
Zhou Ziwen spoke.
Money is a bastard. If we lose it, we can earn it again.
I'm afraid the only one who can say this is Zhou Ziwen.
Although he doesn't have much money, he is not short of money.
When you are really short of money, you can make money by just thinking of some way.
Not to mention that there are some aged herbs stored at home, even if there are none, you can just go to the mountains to hunt some game or go to the black market and make money.
Of course, he still didn't plan to go if it wasn't necessary.
After all, this behavior constitutes speculation.
As a law-abiding young intellectual, he would not do anything wrong.
When we got home, we started to process the meat we had bought.
Zhou Ziwen marinated the pork ribs while the two sisters cleaned the pig offal.
They are not the kind of fairies who are afraid of dirt and tiredness.
Whether at home or outside, they are very hardworking.
And there is Tang Yaoyao. Although this girl talks tough, she really does take action when something happens.
Just like now, although I have never cleaned my intestines before, in order not to appear useless, I pinched my nose and washed them with the two sisters.
While washing, he kept muttering, "This is very simple, I will be able to do it once I see it."
The way he forced himself to be tough was inexplicably cute.
The ribs he bought couldn't be kept for long, so Zhou Ziwen planned to save some for dinner and make the rest into cured ribs.
This not only preserves food for a long time, but also makes it a special delicacy, killing two birds with one stone.
Zhou Ziwen has no interest in bacon, but he has a special liking for bacon sausages and bacon spare ribs.
The cured pork ribs need to be marinated for quite some time. Zhou Ziwen prepares the ingredients, spreads them evenly on the ribs, and then covers them with a lid.
The next step is the natural marinating time. He just needs to turn it over regularly to make the seasoning more evenly distributed.
After a few days, when the ribs are fully seasoned, they can be hung up for smoking.
Cured spareribs are delicious only if they have that smoky flavor.
Zhou Ziwen worked quickly and finished processing all the ribs in a short while.
Seeing that it was still early and the rain outside had stopped, Zhou Ziwen prepared to go to the fields to take a look.
It rained so heavily last night that he was worried that the ginseng in the field would be damaged.
He wandered over to the ginseng field and found that several ginseng plants had been blown down by the wind. Fortunately, he was very careful when transplanting them, so apart from the branches being blown down, there was nothing else wrong.
"These weeds grow so fast!"
Zhou Ziwen discovered that just one rain had caused more weeds to grow in the ginseng field.
These weeds grow so fast that they become as long as a finger in just one day.
Fearing that these weeds would compete with ginseng for nutrients in the soil, Zhou Ziwen simply conducted a comprehensive inspection.
He pulled out all the weeds that popped up.
Of course, there is good news.
For example, the vegetable seeds he had sown before sprouted after the rain, and some green sprouts emerged.
Zhou Ziwen was very quick. After working for more than half an hour, he had combed through the two acres of land.
He pulled out any weeds that popped up.
But weeding is a long-term job.
Especially since his land has just been cultivated, there will be more weeds.
Only after planting for a few years and removing all the weeds in the soil, will it not be such a problem.
After working in the fields for so long, when he got home, it was almost time for dinner.
Everyone in Dabazi Village is quite happy today.
Although the production team's cowshed and pigpen collapsed and crushed several pigs.
Even those that could have been sold can’t be sold now.
But being able to eat meat is always a happy thing.
Even if it hurts, you're eating it yourself.
Of course, these are the adults' thoughts.
The children were particularly happy.
They don't care about anything else, they just know that they can eat meat today.
Zhou Ziwen's family also eats meat.
Chen Shiying processed the pig offal and made a table of dishes.
There are braised pork intestines, pickled pepper pork liver, tripe stewed with mushrooms, and pork ribs stewed with dried cowpeas...
There were five or six dishes on the table, all of which were Zhou Ziwen's favorites.
"Ziwen is back, wash your hands and have dinner!"
Chen Shiying wiped her hands on her apron and urged.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Zhou Ziwen agreed and started to fetch water to wash his hands.
"Hey, this braised pork intestine tastes good!"
While eating, Zhou Ziwen took the first bite and then gave Chen Shiying a thumbs up.
This is not flattery, but real praise.
I have to say that Chen Shiying is a talented chef.
And she also loves to study.
She loves what she does and she really likes cooking.
"If it tastes good, eat more."
Chen Shiying smiled gently.
She also felt that she was in very good shape today and could be said to have performed above her level.
"good."
Zhou Ziwen didn't hesitate and started eating the meat on the spot.
This rough scene not only did not destroy his temperament, but made people feel generous.
Under Zhou Ziwen's encouragement, the two sisters and Tang Yaoyao all had a great appetite and ate half a steamed bun more than usual. (End of this chapter)
