Chapter 11 It’s great to travel through time (extra chapter thanks to Shangguan Huasheng’s 10,000-coin reward)
“I haven’t even sold two pairs of these straw sandals. According to the past, they would have been sold out long ago. The last sale was not successful, and the weather is getting hot, so many people should want the straw sandals.” Another person was also scratching his head.
"You guys are just good at talking. They say there is a god above your head. God is watching everything this guy does and says. You laugh at other people's daughters and sons-in-law for being stupid. It's no wonder your business is good!"
An old man selling lambs smacked his lips.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Don't say it, it might really be like that. Those who were making a fuss here just now are all frowning now, and their business is not good.
On the contrary, those who didn't interrupt had better business.
Take the old man selling lambs for example, he brought three when he came, but now only one is left.
Live animals were not easy to sell, and it was considered good if they could be sold in two or three markets. Two were sold in this market alone, which was indeed a considerable amount.
Think about Jiang Youcheng's business and their luck, and then look at my own business that has not even opened yet...
Could it be that God was watching over their heads? All of them shuddered at the same time.
Jiang Youcheng took Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun and went straight to the butcher shop.
There were many people buying meat, and the butchers were very busy.
There were all kinds of meat on the chopping board, and in the wooden basin under the board were various pork offal, such as pork liver, pork heart, pork intestines, etc.
Those with money can buy meat, while those with less money can buy ribs. If you want to satisfy your craving and save money, you can buy a piece of offal. Although it is far inferior to pork and tastes a bit fishy, it is still meat.
"Two pounds of pork belly." Jiang Youcheng straightened his back, "I want good quality ones."
In the past, I was worried about my only daughter in the family, and I had to find ways to save some money for her. I lived a frugal life and only dared to buy meat like this during festivals.
This time, with money in hand, Jiang Youcheng was confident, and his words were louder and more heroic than usual, making the butcher shop buzz with joy and causing some people to cover their ears.
"Okay, two pounds of pork belly." The butcher was used to shouting loudly when selling his goods on weekdays, so he didn't think it was a big deal at this moment. He just swiftly cut a piece of the remaining pork belly.
I weighed it and it was exactly two pounds, no more, no less.
A pound of pork belly costs 18 wen, and two pounds costs 36 wen. The butcher gave it a bit of a discount, charging 35 wen.
Jiang Youcheng paid the money, took the meat tied with hemp rope from the butcher, put it in a wicker basket and covered it with a lid.
They didn't have to carry anything back, and the weather wasn't too hot, so the three of them strolled back while talking.
When we got home, the sun was already high in the sky.
Liu was at home sorting out the brambles she had cut in the morning. When she saw the three men coming back with nothing in their hands, she grinned and asked, "Have you sold all your things?"
"They're all sold out." Jiang Youcheng was very happy. "The woven baskets, baskets, and fish were all sold out."
"Let me tell you, today it's all thanks to Jing Yun. If it weren't for him, this basket of fish wouldn't be sold for so much money..."
Then, Jiang Youcheng told the story of how he couldn't sell fish at the market and someone joked about it, so Song Jingyun suggested going to Fuyun Restaurant to sell fish. In the end, all those people who made sarcastic remarks shut up and dared not say anything.
He spoke with great enthusiasm and described things vividly.
"These people are really meddling in other people's business. Our family affairs are our own, and have nothing to do with them. Why are they talking nonsense?"
Liu had a gentle personality and rarely got angry with anyone except her second sister-in-law Zhang.
Whenever she gets angry with someone, it must be because others say that Jiang Mixia is a fool.
At this moment, she heard others mocking and ridiculing her daughter and son-in-law, and her face was full of anger. "You too, how can you be a father? Your child is being talked about by others, and you don't even say a word back, and you are waiting for Xiao Xia to come back and vent your anger on you."
"I'm not a good talker..."
Jiang Youcheng scratched his head guiltily.
He is indeed not good at speaking, and the more excited or nervous he is, the less he can speak.
Liu had known Jiang Youcheng's personality for so many years, so she didn't pursue the matter any further. She just rolled her eyes at Jiang Youcheng and said, "You must protect the child when you are outside. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of your life as a father and mother?"
"I've got it, I've got it." Jiang Youcheng's face was full of flattering smiles, "My wife, you should hurry up and cook, don't let the child go hungry."
In order to go to the market earlier, I got up early and had breakfast. Now my stomach is rumbling like a drum.
Liu took the pork belly, scooped some water to wash it, and went into the kitchen to get busy.
Jiang Youcheng helped to light the fire.
Cut the pork belly into small square cubes of appropriate size, boil in water to remove the blood foam, add ingredients to stir-fry sugar color, and stew with water.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat; the aroma will waft out through the gaps in the lid.
"It smells so good." Song Jingyun sniffed.
Lian Jiang Mixia swallowed and nodded, "Yes."
She had been here for a few days. Her family lived in poverty and this was the first time she had been able to eat braised pork. Just the smell made her extremely hungry.
As for Liu, since she was going to have braised pork, she steamed a pot of rice mixed with sorghum rice and rice at noon.
Sorghum rice has a rough texture, while rice is soft and tender. There is more of the former and less of the latter, so the taste is not very good.
A large spoonful of braised pork is poured on top of the Erhe rice. The meat and soup look greasy and red, and even the Erhe rice is soaked in the fragrant broth. When you take a bite, you will feel the rich flavor of the braised pork in your mouth, and you will not care about whether the Erhe rice is coarse or irritating to the throat.
The braised pork is fat and lean, the fat is tender and the lean is mushy, it melts in your mouth and leaves a lingering fragrance.
After Song Jingyun ate a piece, he became excited.
This braised pork is so delicious, the pork is so delicious.
His wife did not lie to him. This meat really tasted good no matter how you cooked it. It was better than fish and better than egg custard.
There's really nothing to say about food, it's just amazing.
Think about it, when you are in the interstellar space, every day is just a routine to absorb energy to maintain your life. It is just like a walking corpse, with no fun.
Song Jingyun suddenly felt that being able to travel here might be a blessing from fate! For lunch, Song Jingyun ate two full bowls.
In the afternoon, when Song Jingyun was helping Jiang Youcheng deal with the brambles, he would burp every time he bent over.
But this burp tastes like braised pork.
Because she had stewed braised pork at noon, Liu made a big pot of braised pork soup with fried noodles in the evening.
Sweet potato noodles, topped with fresh spinach leaves and a fragrant braised pork soup...
