It turns out that the people who delivered meat every day would bring bones together, because big bones were difficult to sell. When the weather was cold, they could be kept for a few more days, but it would be more troublesome when the weather was hot. Sometimes they would become smelly after being kept for a long time and could only be fed to dogs.
So Liu Jia didn't want it, and she had argued with the butcher several times because of this. But the butcher said if he wanted half a pig, it meant half a pig. He couldn't ask me to shave it and remove the bones before sending it to him, right?
Therefore, this big bone became the supply and marketing cooperative's biggest unsalable item.
Sometimes I sell it to salesmen at a low price, but it is very difficult to cook. It requires a lot of firewood to cook it thoroughly, and there is not much oil or water.
After a long time, no one wanted it anymore. The weather was getting warmer, and it was time to worry again.
This time when Ye Qing wanted a big bone, Liu Jia felt like she had found her savior. It was agreed that all the big bones would be reserved for her, at 20 cents each, and she could come and pick them up in three days.
This place is warm during the day and cold at night, so there is no problem keeping the big bones for three or four days.
Ye Qing went home happily, planning to make some radish and bone soup to improve her family's diet tonight.
After eating well these past few days, Nannan has become noticeably stronger and can now run around the yard.
Qin Ye was sitting at the door basking in the sun, watching Nannan, Huzi and Chaochao running around the yard. Nannan accidentally fell down, and before she could cry, Huzi ran over and picked her up from the ground.
"Don't be afraid, sister. My mom told me to get up on my own if I fall down and not to cry. I'll blow on you and it won't hurt."
"Huff, huff..." He blew twice at Nannan's red little hand.
Nannan had tears in her eyes, but she stopped crying when she saw Huzi blowing the flute for her.
Chaochao came over and put the toy car in Nannan's hand: "Play with this. You don't have to run when you play with this. If you don't run, you won't fall."
Nannan happily held Chaochao's car and played with the sand, and the child's laughter filled the yard.
Ye Qing looked at them and asked, "Whose children are these?"
Qin Ye pointed at Hu Zi, who was wearing a modified military uniform, and said, "Is there no need to explain this? The third child of Political Commissar Zhang, Zhang Weihua, nicknamed Hu Zi."
"That's the son of Staff Officer Jiang, Jiang Chao, nicknamed Chaochao. He lives next door. He's the same age as Huzi and one year older than Nannan."
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Okay, let them play. Just watch them and make sure they don't get hurt."
Looking at the big bone in her hand, Qin Ye frowned again: "What do you want this for? These are the ones that the supply and marketing cooperative can't sell, and they won't taste good if you cook them."
Ye Qing looked at him and smiled: "If it doesn't taste good, that's because they don't know how to cook it. Just wait, I'll let you taste it tonight to see if it tastes good or not."
As he said that, he carried the big bone into the kitchen.
First blanch the big bones, then put a handful of rock sugar in a large iron pot. After the sugar turns brown, pour in the blanched bones and stir-fry. When the surface is slightly browned, add boiling water and seasonings, then pull out two sticks of wood from the bottom of the pot and extinguish the pot.
Then he said to Qin Ye: "Watch the fire, as long as it doesn't go out. I'll be out for a while."
Watching her pick up the rope, Qin Ye knew what she was going to do.
"You're going up the mountain to chop wood at this hour? It's dangerous when it gets dark. Come back! I'll ask Gao Hao to get some back tomorrow."
Ye Qing still has to go collect big bones in three days! This amount of firewood is not enough.
She didn't listen to Qin Ye's advice, but said, "It's okay, I'll be back soon and go down the mountain before it gets dark."
Three miles south of the military region is a mountain. The mountain is very large, stretching for hundreds of kilometers. There are also many precious medicinal herbs in the deep mountains and dense forests.
According to the records in the book, the heroine Li Lan found ginseng in the mountains and sold it for a lot of money, which allowed her to gain a foothold in the compound.
