The saleswoman was obviously worldly-wise. When she heard Lin Jianxue's request, she didn't even raise her eyelids. She just said "Oh" lightly and turned around to grope under the counter for a while.
When he took it out again, there was a small plastic bag in his hand, white with a few big words printed on it in red ink.
"One dollar and fifty cents. Just pour a small amount at a time. Don't pour more. It may cause trouble." The saleswoman put the plastic bag on the counter, glanced at Lin Jianxue, and instructed.
These days, supplies are scarce and it is not easy to raise a pig. If you give the pig an overdose of medicine and it dies, the loss will be huge.
"Got it. Thank you!"
Lin Jianxue responded, took out two yuan from her pocket and handed it over to her. The elder sister skillfully gave her five yuan in change.
She took the small plastic bag and looked down. There were some eye-catching words printed on it - "Strong Aphrodisiac Powder for Sows".
There are a few lines of small print below:
Function: Aphrodisiac.
Indications: Anestrus.
Lin Jianxue's pupils trembled. There was no need to be so straightforward with this name!
She felt her cheeks getting a little hot, as if she had done something wrong. She quickly stuffed the packet of "Sow Powerful Aphrodisiac Powder" into her cowhide bag, fearing that others would see it.
After buying the sow aphrodisiac powder, Lin Jianxue stopped by the grocery store on the way.
She wanted to nourish her mother Chen Wu's body. After all, she had just given birth and needed to be recuperated.
The grocery store was crowded with people, and there were long queues at many counters.
Lin Jianxue's target was very clear. She went straight to the meat counter and immediately took a fancy to a piece of fat and lean pork belly.
"Sister, how much is this pork belly?"
"Eight yuan a pound." The saleswoman answered without even looking up.
"Give me two pounds."
"Okay."
The saleswoman deftly cut off two pounds of pork belly, wrapped it in straw paper, and handed it to Lin Jianxue.
Lin Jianxue went to the fish counter again and picked out a lively crucian carp.
"How much is this crucian carp?"
"㫦䲻."
"Weigh it for me."
After buying the pork belly and crucian carp, Lin Jianxue left the grocery store and boarded the bus to the Xi family.
The car was bumpy all the way, and the scenery outside the window quickly receded. Lin Jianxue's mood gradually calmed down.
When I got home, the aroma of food hit my nose.
When Lin Jianxue walked into the house, she saw Tong Caihe busy in the kitchen. She was bending over and washing small green vegetables in the sink.
Chen Wu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding Xiaohu in her arms, humming a lullaby softly.
"Mom, I'm here." Lin Jianxue walked to Chen Wu and said with a smile, reaching out and gently touching Xiaohu's chubby little face.
Xiaohu seemed to feel Lin Jianxue's touch. He opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at Lin Jianxue, then opened his little mouth and revealed a toothless smile.
"Xue'er is here. Come and take a look at your brother. Has he gained weight again?" Chen Wu raised his head and said to Lin Jianxue with a smile.
"Yes, she's gained some weight, and her little face has become rounder." Lin Jianxue said with a smile.
"Mom, let me take the meat and fish to Aunt Tong first. I'll ask her to make you some crucian carp soup for lunch to nourish you. Crucian carp soup helps with milk production and can also heal wounds."
Lin Jianxue said this and turned into the kitchen.
Tong Caihe was bending over the sink to wash vegetables. When she heard the noise, she looked up and saw Lin Jianxue holding pork belly and crucian carp in her hands. Her eyes widened.
"Hey, Jianxue, where did you get these good things? This pork belly is so fat! And this crucian carp is so lively and looks so fresh!" Tong Caihe said as she reached out to take the things in Lin Jianxue's hand.
"I bought it at the grocery store. I came early and the meat was not sold out yet. Aunt Tong, let's make crucian carp soup for lunch and braised pork in the evening for the whole family." Lin Jianxue said lightly.
"Okay, okay, no problem!" Tong Caihe responded happily.
But he had his own plans in mind.
These pork belly and crucian carp are good stuff. I can give some to Jiang Yuning to nourish her body.
