Chapter 28 Purchasing Supplies
When the father and daughter returned home, the whole yard was filled with a foul odor, which was obviously the stench of pig offal.
"Dad, go inside first. I'll take care of the pig's offal."
After saying that, Wu Yuetang hurriedly carried the basin full of pig offal out, thinking of finding a place with water to wash it. Halfway through, she entered the space when no one turned around.
It is more comfortable to wash in your own manor than in that remote countryside.
After working for almost two hours, the pig offal was no longer smelly and was cleaned thoroughly. Then I took it out of the space and walked back home.
The stench in the yard had almost dissipated. Wu Zhiyun poked his head out of the house, and after making sure that the stench was gone, he ran to Wu Yuetang.
"Little sister, are you sure this is delicious?"
"This is a truly delicious delicacy. I'll braise it for you to try."
As he said that, he put the cleaned large intestine into the pot to blanch it, and then drove his third brother back into the house. He watched from here while he prepared the marinade.
Seeing that the person had left, he took out star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom, dried chili peppers, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, and rock sugar from the kitchen in the space. After preparing a braising soup, he put the large intestine into the big pot, poured in a full amount of braising soup, and simmered it slowly over low heat.
After everything was ready, I went back to my room, turned into the space, took a comfortable bath, washed my clothes while taking a bath, and dried them in the dryer on the smart balcony.
After checking the chicken coop, I found that I had harvested more than a hundred quail eggs, as well as thirty or forty chicken eggs, goose eggs and duck eggs.
Wu Yuetang was so happy that she started making salt-baked quail eggs right away. It took her two and a half hours to finish the work.
I almost forgot about the pig intestines that were still stewing outside. I quickly changed my clothes and left the space. After tasting the braised intestines, I nodded with great satisfaction.
Mm~ the taste is just right.
When those who had been wronged today smelled the fragrance, they all got up from their beds and ran towards the kitchen.
"Tang girl, what are you doing up at night?"
"The braised large intestine is really delicious. You guys should try it."
As he spoke, he put some on a plate and handed it to everyone. When everyone heard that it was large intestine, they thought, "Isn't that pig offal? Can you eat that?" But this one doesn't smell bad at all, it smells quite fragrant. Is it really edible?
Seeing that everyone was looking at each other and no one dared to eat, Wu Yuetang directly picked up a piece and stuffed it into Wu Zhiyun's mouth. Wu Laosan was startled by the sudden feeding and chewed it twice in his mouth.
"Good! So delicious! No smell at all! So fragrant! Really fragrant!"
As he spoke, Wu Zhiyun snatched the plate and ate another piece. Seeing the third brother's reaction, everyone also took a piece and ate it.
His reaction was exactly the same as Wu Zhiyun's, and he looked at Wu Yuetang with admiration.
My little sister is really amazing. She can even make the large intestine so delicious.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Wu Yuetang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked her elder and second brothers to put the braised large intestines in the pot into a sealed large jar.
"Okay, put it in the cellar to keep it fresh so we can eat it while we're on the road."
Everyone responded in succession and was extremely happy.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Wu Yuetang sneaked into the cellar, replaced the jar containing the large intestine with an empty jar, and put the replaced jar directly into the space.
It would eventually go bad if left in the cellar, so it would be best kept fresh in the space. Tonight, Wu Yuetang slept soundly and dreamlessly.
Nothing happened in the whole village in the next few days. The only thing that was wrong was that Ye Jingchen didn't come to eat for several days. It should be that Liuwan Village also received the notice to flee the famine, and he was probably forced to do farm work by the old couple of the Ye family.
Wu Yuetang didn't want to care. After all, the time had not come yet. According to the original plot in the book, the male protagonist would break off relations with the Ye family while fleeing from famine, and then make a living by hunting until he arrived in the provincial capital, where he was picked up by people from the palace who were looking for King Jing.
This book is a male-oriented novel, and it mainly tells the story of the male protagonist's counterattack and turn over a new leaf. As for the female protagonist, she will appear only after she arrives in the provincial capital. If she forcibly goes to the Ye family to help the male protagonist now, the story line will probably change. Let's talk about it after she meets him later.
Two days before the collective escape from famine, the Fritillaria cirrhosa in the space was ripe and ready for harvest. The harvest was even more than expected, a full 650 kilograms, 100 kilograms more.
Wu Yuetang stuffed the packed Chonglou into the carriage, and after leaving the space, he carried the basket on his back to the town. After walking out of the village, he took out the carriage. Looking at the green grass that the horse had not swallowed yet, Wu Yuetang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Why do you always eat grass when you come out?"
As a result, the horse actually rolled its eyes. Has this horse become a spirit?
We arrived at Rendetang before noon. The quantity this time was more than the last time. A group of people ran in and out for more than ten times before they finished moving all the things.
The shopkeeper checked the quality of the medicinal materials and praised them again.
"As usual, keep 100 kilograms and send the rest to the capital. Hurry! This Chonglou herb cannot be wasted!"
Then he took out two 100-liang silver notes and handed them to Wu Yuetang, "300 wen per catty, a total of 600 catties, here are 200-liang silver notes."
"Here's your change of twenty taels."
Wu Yuetang took out two silver ingots from the space and handed them over. The shopkeeper took them with a smile and looked at the girl with even greater admiration.
After leaving the clinic, he went straight to the cloth shop and bought five pieces of cotton cloth, one each of black, gray, green, pink and red. He also bought fifteen pairs of high-quality cloth shoes. He also bought two sets of ready-made clothes for each family member according to their sizes, one set of fine cloth and one set of thick cotton.
Just as I was about to pay, I saw the waiter was about to hang a light blue men's suit on the wall. It had a light blue satin base, gold thread on the cuffs and collar, and a blue and white belt.
This dress is not only designed to be very slim-fitting, but also has a very three-dimensional color combination, but it is very particular about the person who wears it.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this suit?"
"Oh, you have such a keen eye! This dress is made of satin and is so comfortable to wear. Look at the belt, the stitching on the cuffs and the collar, they are all very exquisite. If you want to buy it, ten taels of silver will do."
Ten taels of silver is indeed not expensive.
"Okay, pack it up for me. Calculate the total amount."
"Okay, this dress is ten taels, five bolts of cotton cloth is one and a half taels, fifteen pairs of cloth shoes are seven hundred and fifty wen, seven sets of fine cloth ready-made clothes and seven sets of thick cotton ready-made clothes are five taels and six qian, so the total is seventeen taels, eight hundred and fifty wen. Since you bought so much, I'll give you a small amount, so it's seventeen taels."
"Okay, I'll come to your house to buy cloth in the future."
Wu Yuetang paid the money readily. The shopkeeper knew how to do business and directly wiped out 850 coins. He was a straightforward person.
On the way back, I bought some daily necessities, such as pens and ink, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and a lot of clay pots and pans that were on sale at a discount from some merchants. I also bought a lot of waterproof canvas, which I could use to set up tents when I was fleeing from the famine. I threw these things directly into the space.
I earned 180 taels this time and only have more than 130 taels left after spending it. Oh, it hurts a bit.
