Nineteen back from shopping
Shen Yang took out a piece of bean paste cake with auspicious signs and handed it to Shen Tang.
"Fourth brother, eat something sweet."
Shen Tang felt heartbroken when he watched others eat snacks on weekdays, but the sweetness of the bean paste was like a seductive fairy.
He couldn't help but secrete a lot of saliva in his mouth. The young man sniffed and took it carefully, "Is it delicious?"
Shen Tang asked seriously, and Shen Yang couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.
On the surface, she is the younger sister of the family, but in fact, Shen Yang treats the children in the family as if she is an aunt.
A faint pear dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Fourth brother, try it. If it tastes good, I'll buy it for you later."
A small piece of bean paste cake was just enough for one bite. Shen Tang bit off a corner, and the bean paste instantly filled the entire mouth. The pastry was sweet but not greasy, melted in the mouth, and left an endless aftertaste.
He squinted his eyes and handed the remaining half of the piece to Shen Yang, "It's delicious, Yangyang, you can eat it."
Although the Shen brothers are poor, they always share good things whenever they have them.
Shen Yang smiled and pushed over, "No need, fourth brother, we have many more here."
She shook the paper bag in her hand. Shen Tang was not polite when he saw this. He stuffed the rest into his mouth, not even forgetting to clean the residue on his fingers.
Shen Yang wants to buy some meat for his family.
The fresh ingredients in the shop are usually freshly prepared in the morning, and I don’t know how much is left. It’s just that she didn’t have money on hand in the morning, and the conditions didn’t allow it.
Shen Tang pulled the cart and followed Shen Yang. Looking at his sister's thin back, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Shen Yang was so powerful.
She is obviously younger than me, how could she learn such a difficult carpentry skill?
this moment.
Shen Laosi, who had only grown up under the protection of his brothers, thought for the first time about what he could bring to the family.
Could it be that while my brother and sister were making money, I was at home looking after the door?
Until Shen Yang entered a meat shop, Shen Tang still couldn't decide.
But the seeds of hard work have been planted, and maybe in the near future, he will find his own path.
"Shopkeeper, do you still have the ribs?"
Several strips of fat and thin pork belly were placed on the large chopping board, and half of a pig's hind leg was hooked on the shelf.
The goods were almost sold, and the butcher was cleaning the blood stains in the backyard. Hearing the voices, he opened the curtain and walked in.
"What to buy."
"Ribs."
Shen Yang spoke emphatically and gestured with his hands, indicating that pork ribs will be in short supply in future generations.
It's all lean meat, braised in braised sauce or sweet and sour, and it's delicious.
The butcher paused for a moment and hesitated, "Pork bones, right? There's not much meat in them, and they're not tasty. Why do you want them?"
While he was talking, he walked to the stall and opened the ribs under the white cloth.
There is still a lot of meat on the ribs, but for farmers, if they have some spare money, the best thing to do is to buy fat meat first.
After all, pure meat pieces taste so delicious.
Only those who really can't afford oil and water will pick up some bones and make soup at home, which can be regarded as a bit meaty.
"Well, is this what you're talking about? It's all here."
There are mosquitoes in summer.
The butcher slapped him with his hand, perhaps thinking that the bones would not earn money, so his attitude was indifferent.
Others didn't know how to stew pork ribs, but Shen Yang knew. The little girl suppressed the joy on her face and spoke in a clear voice.
"That's it, shopkeeper, how do you sell these bones?"
"One penny and three pounds, how much can you ask for?"
Bone pressure scales, so they are sold cheaply.
Shen Yang waved her hand, "I want them all, can you make it cheaper?"
You can save one when you buy something.
The butcher looked at Shen Yang suspiciously, thinking that the little baby was ignorant, but it was better this way. If the bones on the left and right couldn't be sold, they would be fed to the dogs.
If you can earn one, that's one.
In the end, Shen Yang bought two racks of ribs for 20 copper coins each, and also weighed some pork belly.
After I finished shopping, it was getting dark outside.
It would be too late if he didn't go back. Shen Yang met the clerk at the grain and oil store at the gate of the city.
When he was leaving the city gate, he met an old woman selling eggs. There were still half a box of unsold eggs in the basket, and Shen Yang bought the whole basket.
If you grow vegetables at home, you don’t have to spend too much money.
Everyone hurried home.
Shen Yang walked slowly, but fortunately the man drove the ox cart. She sat in front of the ox cart, and Shen Tang led the way with a candied haws in his mouth.
The countryside is lively at night.
After a busy day, the people sat under the trees at the entrance of the village after dinner, chatting about the crops in the fields, and thinking about what they could add to their families this year if the harvest was good.
The elderly people were shaking cattail leaf fans in their hands, and you could hear chatter from far away.
Shen Tang raised his head and took a look. Because of his age and family problems, he never participated in such fun.
But my eldest brother once said that you should be polite when meeting your neighbors.
The young man pursed his lips and greeted the waiter behind him, "Brother, walk faster."
The waiter let out a sigh. Shen Tang's feet were moving very fast and he was speaking very fast. Those names were like hot words, "aunt" on the left and "aunt" on the right.
The first uncle and the next uncle, everyone on the left and right was taken care of.
Shen Yang followed Shen Tang, shouting whatever he shouted, and sometimes pretended he didn't know when he was talking nonsense.
After such a short journey, Shen Tang felt that his words were making sparks fly.
The moon shines brightly in the sky.
Everyone who was chatting responded in confusion, and watched the bullock cart going further and further away in confusion.
After more than a dozen breaths, these people seemed to have come back to their senses and looked at each other uncertainly, "The two just now are the boy and the girl from the Shen family, right?"
Someone next to him nodded, shook his head, and laughed to death. He was walking too fast and was not sure.
But this did not hinder everyone's discussion. The bullock cart they drove just now seemed to be pulling a lot of things. The Shen family has been notoriously poor in the village since the elders died.
Good guy.
The car just now must have carried at least several taels of rice and noodles.
Ever since.
The topic turned to making money again.
Shen Yang and the others didn't hear him walking away. Entering from the village entrance, they were not far from their family's thatched house.
Faintly looking at the figure standing in front of the fenced yard, holding a kerosene lamp in his hand.
Shen Tang had sharp eyes and took a few steps quickly, "Second brother."
Shen Han has been guarding the door since the afternoon.
The two youngest members of the family went out alone. On the surface, he gave money to borrow a cart, but in fact, he was no less worried than Shen Qin.
Hearing Shen Tang's shout, his expression relaxed.
"Xiao Tang, where is Yang Yang?"
Shen Yang held the car frame with one hand and smiled on his face, "Second brother, I'm here."
Only then did Shen Han see clearly what was going on behind him. The waiter who was driving the car was unfamiliar. He thought something had happened to Shen Yang and hurried over here.
"Yangyang, what's going on?"
The car stopped at the door.
Chapter completed!
