Chapter 339 Lard
Even if she had it, she wouldn't dare sell it anymore because the risk is too great.
A Qiang showed a hint of disappointment, but he still said, "Next time you have something good, you can come here to find me. It will be easier if you sell it to me directly, right?"
It would be a good thing if we could establish a long-term cooperative relationship with a big customer like Liu Yinyin.
Liu Yinyin didn't comment. Anyway, she wouldn't come again in the short term.
Sixty kilograms of flour, Aqiang added five cents per kilogram, which is exactly sixty-three yuan.
Liu Yinyin took the money and left.
In less than half a day, I earned 123 yuan...
It is almost equal to half a year’s salary for an ordinary worker.
Liu Yinyin thought that if she had free time in the future, it would be nice to come here occasionally to earn some pocket money.
After all the trouble, it’s getting late.
Liu Yinyin didn't go anywhere else. She found a place to change her clothes and hurried to the pier to catch a boat.
As soon as she got on the boat, Liu Yinyin saw a familiar face...
It was Mr. Qiu from the military school. He had a lot of bags in his hands and probably came to Qing City specifically to buy things.
No wonder I haven’t seen him at the supply and marketing cooperative recently.
Liu Yinyin didn't say hello to him as she was not familiar with him, and entered the cabin carrying the backpack.
There were too many people on the boat, so it was difficult to smuggle supplies out.
After returning home, Liu Yinyin started shopping: ten pounds of pork, ten pounds of pork fat, two pounds of spare ribs, a bag of mushrooms, two bags of peach cakes, two bags of White Rabbit milk candies, and two cans of dried cookies.
I also bought a bag of the picture books that Gu Yanyan liked.
The oil cans, rice jars, flour jars and other things in the house were all filled up.
I didn't buy any fruit because it's cheap on the island.
After packing up her things, Liu Yinyin went to take care of Yanyan.
She brought twelve eggs and a pound of pork for Xu Zhenzhen.
Pork is a rare commodity on the island, as are eggs.
Xu Zhenzhen's family couldn't raise chickens, and they had two sons, so all the eggs in the house were eaten in a hurry.
Liu Yinyin handed her the things: "I bought two pounds of pork in Qing City, and I saved the eggs myself. I'll give two to Damao and Ermao to replenish their bodies."
Everyone in the compound knew that she had chickens, and some people even mentioned wanting to buy eggs from her.
However, Liu Yinyin refused all of them. Her family consumed a lot of eggs, and they had to give gifts from time to time, so they couldn't save many eggs.
Even if she could save it, Liu Yinyin didn't want to sell it to the people in the family compound.
Well, we all live in a big compound, and if we sell at a high price, people might be unhappy.
The product was sold at a low price, and Liu Yinyin suffered a loss.
Why not just not sell them? That way we don’t have to go to her house one by one.
When Xu Zhenzhen saw the pork, her eyes naturally lit up: "I'll give you the money and the ticket..."
Liu Yinyin waved her hands and said, "No need. Yanyan has troubled you all day and is having lunch at your house. This pound of pork is his food allowance."
"You are being too polite. We are so familiar with each other. Why should I pay for the food if you help me look after the child? If you don't want money, I will be embarrassed to accept the pork."
It wasn't a good look to push it back and forth, Liu Yinyin took the money but didn't ask for the meat ticket.
"Mom, I'm hungry..."
As soon as he got home, Gu Yanyan ran to the cupboard to get some snacks.
The cabinet was not locked, and the kid opened the door himself.
Before going to Qing City in the morning, Liu Yinyin told Gu Yanyan that she would buy him some delicious food.
Liu Yinyin opened a bag of peach cakes for him and told him, "You can only eat one piece. It's time to eat soon."
"Yeah!" Gu Yanyan nodded happily, took the peach cake and ran to the sofa to read the picture book.
Liu Yinyin went to the kitchen to cook dinner. Today she had to boil lard, and there were also nine pounds of pork and two pounds of ribs.
The weather is still quite hot now, and fresh pork can't be kept for a few days...
Liu Yinyin thought about it and decided to boil the lard first, then cut eight pounds of pork into pieces and fry them in the lard.
The fried pork can be stored directly in the lard and can be kept for several months.
It just so happened that the pot I bought at the market two days ago was big enough to hold the lard and pork.
There were several iron pots and clay pots of various sizes at home. Liu Yinyin took a medium-sized clay pot and put it on the stove to boil pork fat.
While boiling lard, I was cooking dinner.
Liu Yinyin left one pound of fresh pork and two pounds of ribs.
The ribs will be eaten in the evening, and I will make some braised ribs for Gu Yanyan.
After working for more than an hour, Liu Yinyin finally cooked the lard.
A jar was filled with lard and fried pork.
There is also a large bowl of pork scraps, sprinkle some salt on it, and save it for making stir-fried cabbage with pork scraps tomorrow.
For dinner, we had braised spare ribs and stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and the staple food was white flour steamed buns.
I haven't had braised spareribs for a while.
Gu Yanyan's mouth was full of oil. He had almost finished half of the plate of braised spare ribs.
Liu Yinyin picked up a piece of vegetables from his bowl with her chopsticks and took the braised pork ribs away.
"If you eat any more, you'll get an upset stomach. You can eat the rest tomorrow."
The braised spareribs are fried until crispy and crispy, and they won’t go bad until tomorrow morning.
If conditions do not permit, it’s okay to eat leftover food occasionally.
I'll cook some porridge tomorrow morning and it'll be perfect to eat with the braised pork ribs.
"Sister-in-law, did your family cook meat last night?"
The next day at work, Zheng Qianwei came to ask about Liu Yinyin, who lived next door.
Last night, she smelled the aroma of meat all night long.
Liu Yinyin nodded: "Yesterday I sent my second sister-in-law to the train station. I was lucky enough to buy a piece of pork fat in Qing City. I boiled a can of pork fat in the evening."
In fact, when the pork was smuggled out yesterday, Liu Yinyin also thought about whether to give a pound of pork to Zheng Qiangwei.
However, this thought quickly disappeared.
With Yang Suqin around, she'd better not send anything to Zheng Qiangwei's house, lest Yang Suqin would have anything to say.
Liu Yinyin is a person who is very afraid of trouble.
Zheng Qiangwei swallowed her saliva when she heard this. Pork...
She has been having severe pregnancy reactions recently, so she wants to eat something spicy and meaty.
Unfortunately, grandma Zheng Qiangwei didn't let her eat too much spicy food, so the pork island was only served once a week, which was not enough.
As for bacon...Yang Suqin also didn't let her eat bacon.
Liu Yinyin's family had a piece of fresh pork, which she saved for lunch today.
He opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back.
Liu Yinyin changed the subject and said, "Auntie Wang raises ducks. You can ask her if she has any ducks to sell, or ask other people in the village if they have any ducks to sell."
Duck is also meat.
Zheng Qiangwei had actually inquired about this a long time ago: "There are not many people selling ducks at this time of year, and everyone wants to save them for the New Year."
Not all villagers are like Aunt Wang, who raises twenty or thirty ducks at home.
Other families, like raising chickens, raise two or three ducks and keep them for New Year's Eve eating.
This will prevent you from not being able to buy pork and having no meat to eat at home.
