"Okay, then give me the pig intestines."
Wei Yuyan thought pig intestines tasted even better than pig liver.
"OK".
The owner rinsed the pig intestines twice with water before stringing them together and handing them over.
"Thank you~".
Wei Yuyan counted out twenty-four copper coins and handed them over.
"Oh, could you chop the ribs for me? I almost forgot."
Wei Yuyan only realized when she picked up the ribs that she hadn't chopped them yet. She was afraid that if she tried to chop them with her own knife, she would break it.
"no problem".
The boss took the ribs and deftly chopped them into small pieces.
"Sister-in-law, we have money now, why do we still need to buy such smelly food?"
Wu Qian couldn't help but pinch her nose.
"Xiaoqian, your sister-in-law will definitely make this large intestine taste delicious."
Wu Lei took the pig intestines from Wei Yuyan's hands.
"Yes, you'll see when we get home. Your sister-in-law can make this so that it doesn't smell bad at all."
Wei Yuyan was very confident in her cooking skills.
"Let's go to the grocery store and buy some ingredients."
Wei Yuyan led the brother and sister as they walked, looking for a general store.
"It smells so good~".
Wu Qian smelled a particularly sweet aroma and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Go buy some for you to eat."
Wei Yuyan smelled the aroma coming from the pastry shop next door, so she went inside.
"What would you like to buy, madam? We have everything here: mung bean cake, red bean cake, osmanthus cake, hibiscus cake, red date cake..."
The sales assistants enthusiastically came over to introduce the products, and basically everyone who brought their children bought something. You can't go wrong by selling to them.
"How much does red bean cake and red date cake cost per pound?"
Since mung beans are cooling, Wei Yuyan felt that red bean cake was more mild.
"Same price, eighteen coins per catty."
The guy replied patiently.
"Give me half a pound each."
Wei Yuyan felt it was still a bit expensive, but she mainly bought some to satisfy the children's cravings.
"Okay."
The waiter picked up four pieces of red bean cake and four pieces of mung bean cake, and weighed them.
It weighed just over a pound, and then it was packed up with rope.
"Thanks".
Wei Yuyan counted out eighteen coins and handed them to the shop assistant, then led the children to continue searching for a general store.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here~".
Wu Lei went ahead to check and found the general store.
"Here it comes~".
Wei Yuyan pulled Wu Qian to the general store.
"Just browsing."
The owner was the only one in the shop. He sat in a chair, gave a greeting, and continued calculating the accounts.
Wei Yuyan glanced at it and saw that there were cinnamon, star anise, pepper powder, chili powder, red dates, white sugar, goji berries, fennel, and all sorts of grains, beans, and so on.
However, the price was quite expensive, which surprised Wei Yuyan.
"Boss, could you please give me 10 coins each of cinnamon, star anise, and pepper powder, and 30 coins of white sugar?"
Wei Yuyan gritted her teeth. To make the meat taste better, she still needed more ingredients.
As for white sugar, you can add a little when guests come over or when making braised pork.
"Okay."
The boss brought over several paper packages, but didn't weigh them; he just packed whatever amount he wanted.
"Boss, is this a case of underweighting?"
Wei Yuyan thought that it would be a loss if she didn't refer to herself as often.
"Don't worry, it's more than it should be. You can weigh it at home if you don't believe me."
The boss wrapped it up carefully with rope and handed it over. He's been in this business for decades, and he knows exactly what's in it, even if it's a penny more or less.
"good".
Wei Yuyan nodded, took a silver coin and handed it over. She had spent over a hundred coins today, and it stung a little.
"Sister-in-law, is there anything else we need to buy?"
Wu Lei saw that the vegetable market was just ahead.
"No need to buy anything, just go to the entrance of the market and wait for Sister Xiuhua and the others."
The three of them had been walking around for almost an hour and were all tired. The children were tired but happy.
Arriving at the entrance of the market, before noon, Wei Yuyan tidied up her purchases, including her money bag.
I earned 605 coins today, spent 111 coins, and have 494 coins left in my purse.
Adding the hundred coins at home, the total is five hundred and ninety-four coins.
"Sister-in-law, shall we have chicken or ribs for lunch today?"
Wu Qian still remembers the pheasant at home.
"Yes, the pheasant is still alive. I fed her something last night."
Let's have pork ribs for lunch today. I'll make you braised pork ribs with potatoes.
Wei Yuyan thought it wouldn't hurt to feed the pheasant for a few days; as long as it didn't get thin, that was fine.
"And this, the large intestine?"
Wu Lei has never eaten pig intestines before, but he has seen others eat them.
"Let's eat this tonight."
Wei Yuyan thought it would taste even better if she braised it in the afternoon, and she would also send some to Sister Xiuhua's family to try.
"Sister-in-law, get in the car quickly."
When Xiuhua's sister-in-law's voice came over, Wei Yuyan and the others realized that the oxcart had arrived.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, you're quick! You bought meat too."
Wei Yuyan pulled the children to sit down and saw that Xiuhua's sister-in-law also had meat in her basket.
"Yes, your Brother Zhang works outside every day. He finally gets a day off today, so he should buy some meat to eat."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua felt sorry for this man; he spent at least 300 days a year away from home.
"Indeed, Brother Zhang is a really good man."
Wei Yuyan praised him, saying that his coming to town to see a doctor today was enough to show that he respects women and his wife.
"..."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua opened her mouth, but then remembered Wu Chen's matter and had to shut up again.
"Oh, right, Sister Xiuhua, I bought meat buns this morning, but I bought one extra. You can have it."
Wei Yuyan took a meat bun out of the basket on her back.
"Oh dear, let the children eat this. We're all grown up, why would we eat this?"
Xiuhua's sister-in-law refused to accept it.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, please accept it. The children have already eaten today. If you don't accept it, we won't dare to ride in your oxcart in the future."
Wei Yuyan had no choice but to use this to threaten her.
"Alright then, I'll accept it."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua had no choice but to accept it and put it in the basket.
We arrived at the village in about fifteen minutes.
Sister-in-law Xiuhua, Wei Yuyan, and the children jumped off the cart. Brother Zhang still had to drive the oxcart back to his hometown.
"Sister-in-law, why did you buy pig intestines? Are these pig intestines edible?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua frowned as she looked at the smelly pig intestines in Wu Lei's hand.
Are my sister-in-law's family really that poor? She just gave me a meat bun. That shouldn't be the case.
"Yes, Sister Xiuhua. This is delicious if you wash it clean. I'll make it for you to try this afternoon."
Wei Yuyan felt that if she didn't show it to them, they would definitely still have the same expression when she bought pig intestines in the future. She would definitely serve a bowl to Sister-in-law Xiuhua after she finished cooking this afternoon.
"Ah... okay."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua wanted to say no, but she was afraid that her sister-in-law would think she was looking down on her, so she could only nod in agreement.
At the fork in the road, Sister Xiuhua said goodbye to them.
