Someone had no idea who spread the news that Yi Xiaoqiu had helped the old man of the Feng family to exchange meat, but the Ji family's old house had been very lively these days.
It’s not that the people living on this street can’t find a way out, but their identities make it inconvenient for them to have anything to do with those speculators.
Yi Xiaoqiu was different. The outsider was still her fellow villager, so if her fellow villager gave her some help, no matter what she said, it would be justified.
As a result, many people smelled the fragrance coming from the Ji and Feng families. They went to the Feng family and found out that it was Yi Xiaoqiu's fellow villager. Everyone was overjoyed.
Hello fellow countryman!
When fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears.
Isn’t it just about fellow countrymen?
Ji Shuyan didn't expect that he would be unable to sleep alone at home, but his wife turned around and became the most popular person in the alley.
Of course, this happened in private. Publicly, everyone just nodded in agreement.
After eating the pork she exchanged from Yi Xiaoqiu twice, Feng Tingting no longer had the desire to compete with Yi Xiaoqiu.
That’s right, one should be grateful for what one has received.
Although their family paid for it, it is not easy to get these things these days, so they owe them a favor.
The Zhao and Li families in this alley are the same as the Feng family.
The older generation all smiled when they saw Yi Xiaoqiu, and the younger generation also smiled when they saw Yi Xiaoqiu in the alley.
When the older generation saw Yi Xiaoqiu, they invited her to join their circle.
Ask, that is the charm of grain and meat.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family was in confinement after giving birth and wanted to get some pig's trotters and fine grains to increase her milk production. She begged everyone for help and finally got a pair of pig's trotters, but the little bit of food was not enough.
Finally, I found Yi Xiaoqiu. I didn't have much hope at first, but Yi Xiaoqiu turned around and got me two pig front legs.
That’s two whole pig’s front legs!
Nearly twenty pieces of meat, put them in the well and eat them slowly, which is enough to increase milk production.
Yi Xiaoqiu thought that since he was going to do the agricultural products business, he did not let the housekeeper sell all the pigs, chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps on the farm, but kept some to sell outside.
Her plan was right. As soon as she left a big fat pig, someone asked for the pig's legs. Yi Xiaoqiu simply ordered the machine gunners to slaughter the pig.
This time, Yi Xiaoqiu stopped selling chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps and started selling pork.
"What? There's pork today? And it's top-notch pork belly?" Old man Feng stared at Yi Xiaoqiu with gleaming eyes.
In the minds of Chinese people, although chicken, duck, fish and meat are good, they are still not as real as the second brother.
Old Man Feng used to feel sorry for Yi Xiaoqiu, his fellow villager, who lived in the countryside and could only secretly raise chickens and ducks to sell. He didn't expect that he now had pork.
What kind of powerful fellow villager is this?
Why can’t he meet such a fellow countryman?
"Do you need it? We are the best friends. If my fellow villager has something good, you are the first person I think of."
Who was the first person that came to mind?
The pig's trotters were all given to the Zhao family. This is because Yi Xiaoqiu saw the invisible foodie nature of old man Feng.
This old man is also an old revolutionary. He retired in recent years. He has plenty of money and a wide network of contacts. As long as Yi Xiaoqiu can give it to him, he will take it.
"Yes, how many?"
If it wasn't the whole pig, Old Man Feng would have wanted to buy it all.
It’s not that he can’t afford a whole pig, it’s just that the weather is too hot and there’s too much meat to keep.
If there are dozens of kilograms, he can use the leftovers to make bacon. If there are more, salt will be hard to buy!
Yi Xiaoqiu recognized what Old Man Feng said.
This old man really doesn't give others a chance!
Yi Xiaoqiu waved his hand and said, "Grandpa Feng, I'm telling you the truth. They gave me some of the pork, so I want to keep some. I can't give it all to you."
When Old Man Feng heard this, his heart sank. He wondered if he would just give him a pound or two of meat?
There are so many people in the family, how can that little bit of meat be enough to eat?
"How about this! Take four or five pounds of pork belly, eat some, and pickle some. And how about three pounds of pork fat?"
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't want to whet people's appetites all at once.
Besides, if her fellow villagers offered dozens of kilograms of meat each, it would not be in line with the character of a farmer.
Selling by kilograms is in line with the current national conditions.
When Old Man Feng heard this, how could he not agree?
"Okay! This is a great way to divide it!"
Yi Xiaoqiu went into the kitchen and took out the two pieces of pork that had been prepared in advance.
Old Man Feng couldn't wait to step forward and take it.
When he left Ji's house with the meat, the old lady from the neighboring Li family happened to see it clearly from the back door. She just rolled her eyes, got up, went back to the house to get the money, and ran to Ji's yard.
"Xiao Qiu! I just saw Old Man Feng take some pork back from your house. Can you give me some this time?"
As for whether it is even or not, everyone knows it, but we still have to say it.
Yi Xiaoqiu smiled when she saw Grandma Li. "Others definitely won't have any, but since Grandma Li is here, I'll definitely give you some."
Wouldn't she be happy when someone gave her money?
Speaking of the grandparents in this alley, apart from his own grandfather, Yi Xiaoqiu's favorite is Grandma Li.
She is a native Beijinger, well-informed and knows a lot of gossip.
If Yi Xiaoqiu wants to buy a house in Beijing, he needs to know such a person.
Grandma Li's surname is not Li, but her husband's surname is Li. I heard that they were royal relatives in the past. When the court was in turmoil, she married a poor boy, Li Erzhu.
After Li Erzhu got married, he was full of passion for revolution and joined the organization. Grandma Li spent all her family wealth to support her man. After the founding of the New China, no matter how turbulent the situation became, it did not affect her life.
I have to say that the old man still has some luck in it.
In Beijing, how many of the royal relatives in the past were either sweeping toilets or living in slums and sweeping the streets?
When Grandma Li heard this, she immediately smiled.
"What do you want me to give you?"
When Grandma Li heard this, her eyes brightened up.
Does this mean that you can choose the part yourself?
"Do you still have the lard board?"
Who doesn’t love pork shanks these days?
Get two pounds of lard and cut it into pieces to fry it in oil. Lard can be eaten for a long time, and the lard residue is also fragrant when used to stir-fry dishes.
It is no exaggeration to say that lard slices are the most popular part of the dish in this era.
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded, "Yes, but not much. However, there is still some fat, which can also be fried in oil. Do you want it?"
She didn't recommend spareribs or pork shanks, which were popular in the later period, but if she recommended them to people now, they wouldn't appreciate it.
"Yes! How many do you have?"
"I can give you five pounds of fat, but there are only three pounds of lard." Yi Xiaoqiu still didn't give out too much at once.
"Okay then. I'll take them all."
Yi Xiaoqiu turned and went into the kitchen and took out two pieces of fat and pork fat. Then she thought about it and took out a pig's heart.
"Grandma Li, this pig heart is for Grandpa Li to nourish his body."
Grandpa Li's health is not as good as Grandpa Ji's before. They are all old injuries left on the battlefield. He is a hero who sacrificed his life for the country, so Yi Xiaoqiu is willing to take better care of him.
"That won't do. Your grandfather's health is about the same as your Grandpa Li's. You should keep this for yourself!"
Grandma Li delayed, and just as she finished speaking, she saw Grandpa Ji coming out of the house.
Later, she suddenly discovered that Old Man Ji had become visibly younger.
Grandma Li looked at Old Man Ji and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
