Chapter 49 Buying Grain in the County



Mr. and Mrs. Chen from the old house have already discussed it.

Su Xia here has already started preparing dinner. She has been eating the stock before, so she decided to make a good meal.

Take out two ribs and the remaining half chicken from the space, first spread salt and soy sauce on the chicken, then add some dark soy sauce to color and marinate it.

Cut the ribs into small pieces, blanch and set aside.

I took another look at the vegetables stored in the space. The most stored were onions, ginger and garlic, and there were fewer other vegetables. I would have no problem holding on until the vegetables I planted grew out.

After thinking about it, I took out a tomato and a goose egg and prepared to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

The first thing to eat is white rice.

Look at the time, wash the big pot, pour in the oil, put a few rock sugars when the oil is hot, and wait until the sugar color turns red, then put in the ribs, stir-fry until both sides are browned, then add water and simmer.

Steam the rice on top, then steam the marinated chicken whole, cover the pot, and watch the heat.

This big pot is convenient, it can cook everything in one pot.

Half an hour later, the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of ribs.

The aroma tempted Niuniu to wait no longer and she sat on the stool early waiting for the meal to start.

"It smells so good, mom, your cooking is so delicious." She kept looking at Su Xia with her big eyes.

"Okay, little sycophant, eat more later."

Su Xia saw it, so she turned on the heat of the pot and inserted a chopstick into the chicken. When it was cooked, she took it out and set it aside to dry.

Take out the rice, look at the shiny dark red ribs in the pot, stir-fry them twice, and serve them out when the soup is thick.

I quickly fried scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the pan.

The chicken was cut and it was time to eat. Niuniu had been waiting. Seeing her mother sit down, she couldn't wait to pick up a piece of pork ribs and put it directly into Su Xia's bowl before she started eating.

Su Xia felt that her efforts were not in vain. The two of them fought back and forth, and in a blink of an eye, they had eaten a few ribs and half a chicken.

After all, rice is delicious, but there is little white rice here, and it has almost disappeared in the past two years.

After they finished cleaning up, when the two people slowly disappeared in the living room, Chen's mother came over.

"Mom, have you eaten?"

"I ate it... I ate it. It's from the old family. I, your father, meant to buy all the black noodles you mentioned."

"Here, this is 30 yuan, buy 100 kilograms." Chen's mother took out the money.

Su Xia took it directly, "By the way, Mom, who will go with me to move the food? I can't do it myself?"

"Also, if I want to buy something, you have to bring it back for me. If we take the village ox cart, everyone will know it!

Mom, I don’t have that much ability.”

"These were given to me by others as a token of gratitude."

After hearing this, Chen's mother decided not to let the villagers know.

"Then how much do you want to buy? I'll let the second and third sons go with you." They are all strong laborers and can carry a hundred kilograms without any problem.

Su Xia thought that he needed food and coal, at least 100 kilograms of coal.

We need one hundred kilograms of food.

"Mom, go back and talk to Dad. I need to buy another 100 kilograms of coal briquettes and 100 kilograms of grain. Buy more this time so you don't have to worry about not being able to buy more later."

"Buy more food. If there is less food in the team during the summer harvest, I will hold on until the autumn harvest."

Su Xia has thought of all the reasons.

Mother Chen thought to herself that this way she wouldn't have to worry about whether the old family had enough food.

"Okay, then let your father go with you."

"Then mother, tomorrow morning, please invite your father, second brother, and third brother to come to our house for breakfast. After breakfast, go directly to the county town. Go early and come back before noon."

"Okay, then I'll go back and tell them, you should go to bed early."

After Su Xia sent Chen's mother away, she coaxed Niuniu to sleep and lay down herself. Then she entered the space with her consciousness, looked at the food she bought, found the cloth bag, and filled it with 50 kilograms of cornmeal and 50 kilograms of black flour.

He took another cloth bag and filled it with 100 kilograms of black flour.

Put it aside for now.

He took another two kilograms of meat coupons and gave one kilogram to Lao Zhai.

Then he fell asleep.

The next day, Su Xia got up early and went to the kitchen to make breakfast of cabbage, potatoes, vermicelli, and cornmeal pancakes.

I boiled two more eggs for Niu Niu.

At this time, Chen's father and his family arrived.

"Dad, Mom, second brother, third brother, please sit down first, it will be ready soon."

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work!" Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun smiled embarrassedly.

Yesterday I heard from my parents that it was my eldest sister-in-law who helped with the food purchase. The two grown men were very grateful. With enough food, our family will not go hungry.

"We are family, no matter what the trouble is, I will need you again after this, I will not be polite, second brother and third brother, please don't refuse, okay?"

"No, no... just let sister-in-law know."

"Okay, I'm just teasing you. Come on and eat. 100 pounds is not light."

Su Xia is helpless towards these two brothers-in-law, but people nowadays are polite.

Chen's father and mother thought that Su Xia did a good job. No matter how good the family relationship is, it still needs mutual maintenance.

After dinner, Su Xia got dressed, and Chen's father and the others each carried a backpack and prepared to set off.

"Mom, Niuniu is awake. There are eggs in the pot. Just let her eat them."

"Okay...don't worry, I'm not starving my granddaughter!" Mother Chen said unhappily.

"Hurry up, or you'll miss your meal if you delay any longer."

When several people heard this, they became anxious and rushed to the scene.

By the time the four people arrived at the scene, it was already midnight. Su Xia looked and it was almost nine o'clock.

After thinking about it, the post office was already open for business, so he discussed with Chen's father, "Dad, I'm going to buy food first, can you go to the post office to pick up Jianguo's letter?"

"Sister-in-law, how about I accompany you?" Chen Jianjun said hurriedly.

"I'll ask them to put the things in the alley across the street after I buy them. There will be too many people there and they'll be worried." Su Xia refused directly. If he was asked to go with him, how could he do it himself?

"Go aside, you two can wait here." Father Chen glared at the third child, he was everywhere.

"Dad, it's okay. It's just that it's really inconvenient right now. Next time, your sister-in-law will take you to meet some new people." Su Xia said to the third child. The third child was smart and knew that he really needed someone to help him.

"My dear, please go quickly. We will wait here. When you are done, we will go over there." After saying this, Father Chen went to the post office to pick up the letter for his eldest son.

Su Xia went directly to the black market and found the ticket seller, only to discover that he was still at the old place.

The ticket seller was very happy to see Su Xia, "Big sister, Happy New Year, I wish you a happy new year." This girl's presence covered his expenses for half a month.

"Brother, Happy New Year to you. I wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth!"

The eldest brother was even more excited when he heard this, as this blessing touched his heart.

"Sister, what are you doing now? I've got a lot of new styles now, all thanks to you. Your tickets have helped me a lot."

Su Xia thought this elder brother was a good person and just said that there were too many people nowadays.

Then he looked around and whispered, "Brother, did you get any coal briquettes? The girl needs a hundred pounds. Don't worry, you won't be short of them."

The eldest brother looked at Su Xia and said, "This sister is really well-off. A village girl actually has a coal stove. This is not easy to get."

"Big sister, I did get it for you. It's what they want, not the money. You know that most people in the county don't lack money."

Su Xia felt relieved after hearing this. This elder brother really has some tricks up his sleeve.

"Brother, how about this? I'll exchange it with food. You know I'm from the countryside, and I don't have anything else, so you'd better give me some food!"

Su Xia decided to exchange it for food. After all, she had the most in her space, and if she ran out of food, she could still sell it to the village.

The eldest brother was very happy at the moment, he simply wanted to kneel down to this eldest sister. This was not a sister at all, she was his God of Wealth.
