The taste of the food in state-owned restaurants may not be as good as some private restaurants outside, but the portions are big.
A large plate full of meat was brought up. The meat was sticking out and it would easily fall out if you weren't careful.
A few people ordered a few bowls of rice and started eating. It was obvious that they were people with big appetites. In the end, they ate up all the food without leaving anything.
After finishing the meal, everyone packed up and headed home, not forgetting to buy some more things on the way.
After all, in the past two days since they bought the food, people from the village have been coming to their house. Those who have some connections with them always like to stay at home for dinner, and they have almost finished eating.
So they still need to buy some more today, and they happened to come to the county, where they can buy more and more complete things than in the town.
They have many things that cannot be bought in the town, so since they come here once, they buy everything and will not come out again until the Spring Festival.
Everyone can spend the winter in the house, drinking tea and eating melon seeds when they have nothing to do, without having to travel in this cold weather.
They bought a little more meat this time. After all, there were so many people in the family, and they could all eat it, so they ordered half a chicken at once.
They bought so much that the butcher was shocked. Although they were not the only family that bought so much, it was mainly because of their faces that they did not look like the type of people who would buy so much meat.
It was okay for Xia Jin and the others because they were all dressed nicely, but Xia's father and the others looked like people who often did farm work, so when they asked for so much, the butcher was shocked.
After confirming that they were all right, the butcher went to the back to get the meat for them. Xia Jin also paid the money very happily, and after receiving the money, the butcher finally smiled.
After all, they were afraid that these people didn't have money to buy meat and wanted to rob them. But now they gave him the money, how could he not be happy?
Today's meat seller sold so much at once for the first time. After all, although some people wanted whole pigs before, they all bought them from people with connections.
It was not his turn, so he was very surprised when this person bought so much meat at once.
I can also do this tonight, so I can take some more offal from the meat processing plant and bring it back home so that I can have some more food for my family.
In the past, he envied others for having such big clients, but he never thought that it would be his turn today.
After the man took out the pork from the back, they checked the lower abdomen and found that there was no problem, and then asked them to load it onto the ox cart.
Of course it wasn't placed inside Xia Jin's curtain. They had left a gap when they put up the curtain to store things.
The meat was directly loaded and placed in the right position, but I was still worried about it, so I wrapped a rope around it.
Tie the meat tightly so that it won't fall off when walking on the road. If it falls off and is not discovered, their family will have to pay for it.
After tying the pork tightly to ensure it would not fall off, they went to buy other things.
To celebrate the Chinese New Year, you not only need to buy pork but also chickens. Although every household now raises a few chickens, they are used for laying eggs and people are reluctant to kill them easily.
They need to eat more than one or two chickens during the Chinese New Year, so it is more cost-effective to buy them. There are many people in the family, so they can eat one today and one tomorrow. If they kill all the chickens in the family, there will be no chickens to lay eggs by the beginning of next spring.
The place selling chickens and the place selling pork are very close to each other. After all, they are both delicious things, so they were marked in the same place.
If you buy chickens in the summer, they are killed and sold immediately, but in winter, no one can afford to buy them, so no one sells them like this anymore.
The chickens are cooked in advance, so when you want to buy them, they can be sold to you directly without having to boil hot water to pluck the feathers and kill the chickens.
This way it would be much faster, and Father Xia was generous enough to order eight chickens at once. He looked at the six chickens and thought that he could finally eat them until after the New Year.
I must make the known ones tonight, after all, my eyes are back, and the rest can be eaten when the Chinese New Year is approaching.
After buying the chicken, I bought some other things, then left the place and went to the department store to buy some more things for the New Year.
I also bought a big bag of candy, melon seeds, various nuts and the like. After all, we can eat these together when we have nothing to do.
So it is consumed very quickly, and there are also some drinks and so on, which look very nice when taken out when entertaining people.
After buying everything, Xia Jin looked at the things he bought and said with some doubt:
"Why don't you buy fish? I remember there was fish on the table every year."
"Every year, the villagers go down to the river to cut ice and catch it themselves. Who would buy it? There's no need to waste money on something that's already in the river."
"Before, you all came back late and missed out. This year, you all came back so early. Then your two brothers can join in."
"You should come and watch, it's really lively. At that time, all the adults and children in the village will come out to watch the excitement. The young men in the village are all working hard."
"Before, the fish we had were all sent to our house by your great-grandfather and his family. After all, there were only a few of us at home, and no one went fishing."
After hearing him say this, Xia Jin realized that this thing was not bought.
They were all busy before, so every time they came back, it was almost Chinese New Year, so they never knew that this thing was caught by the villagers themselves.
Xia Jin had always thought that these were all bought by people in the village, but it turns out they look like this.
"I haven't fished by breaking ice for several years. Xiaojin, this year, your second brother will show you what he can do."
"I'm an expert at this. I tell you, if I find the right opportunity, I can break the ice and catch the fish with just a touch. There's hardly anyone in the village who can do it better than me."
"We can't even finish eating all the fish we catch every year, even the ones we give away. I don't know who has given up this glorious opportunity these past few years."
"But this year is good, I can catch up. Xiao Jin, this is probably his first time, so let's go down with Big Brother and try it out."
Uncle Xia listened to his son's nonsense and said angrily:
"How can you talk like that? How can a girl like Xiao Jin follow you into the river? The water is so cold. What if something happens to her body?"
"You all have strong firepower, so it's okay, but Xiao Jin is definitely not okay. You don't need to come up with any more bad ideas."
