Chapter 109: The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the woods at the entrance of the village
At this moment, Zhou Cuihua came, holding a thinly spread pancake in her hand, which tasted delicious, "Hey, third sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, are you here to sell braised pork too? Let me tell you, this braised pork
The food is delicious. If you don’t buy it, it will be gone soon.”
Just as he was talking, someone else came to buy it.
Aunt Li also brought a big bowl and came over to buy a pound. The family didn't have much money, but her son liked to eat, so we couldn't expect Yuan Qing's family and A Liniang to keep sending him.
Aunt Li smiled and said, "From the Yuan Qing family, hurry up and get me a pound. I'll deliver it to Da Zhuang before it gets dark."
Liu Pan'er agreed, "Okay, Auntie, I'll serve you some meat right now."
Not only was the meat served, but five spoons of stewed soup was also given.
Aunt Li carried a big bowl of braised pork and braised soup and left happily.
The idiot's wife smelled the aroma when Liu Pan'er was lifting the pot, so she didn't delay any longer. If it was gone, the idiot at home would have to beat her again.
"Daughter-in-law Yuan Qing, give me a pound." Erluzi's wife urged. She paid for it anyway, so she didn't have to live for nothing. There was no need to show off here.
Liu Pan'er also gave her a piece of pig intestine, which weighed a pound, and gave her five ladles of stewed soup.
When Erluzi's wife saw it, she gave her five ladles of stewed soup. She immediately became unhappy and said, "It's from Yuan Qing's house. There's still so much stewed soup in the pot. Please fill it up for me."
Liu Pan'er knew that Erluzi's daughter-in-law was greedy, but she didn't expect to be so greedy. The porcelain basin that Erluzi's daughter-in-law brought over was no smaller than the basin she used to wash pigs.
If it is full, you will probably have to fill up all the stew in the pot.
Liu Pan'er retorted, "If you buy braised pork, I will give you five spoons. It will be filled up for you. Then the people behind you will come to buy braised pork and there will be no more."
The stupid wife frowned, "It's from the Yuan Qing family. I have a lot of family members, and these five spoons are not enough. Come on, two more spoons."
Liu Pan'er knew that even if she was given two spoons, her stupid wife would not say good things about her, so she refused directly, "No, just five spoons!"
The stupid wife was so angry that she stamped her feet, but seeing Liu Pan'er's disgusting look of refusing to give in, she had no choice but to take out ten copper coins and threw them on the stove, "I think you have got into money.
I’m reluctant to give it.”
After paying the money, the stupid wife complained a few words, took the basin of braised pork and braised soup, and went back quickly.
She was worried that if the third widow didn't blackmail Liu Pan'er into getting meat and stewed soup, she would take advantage of her. If she didn't leave now, would she still be waiting for the third widow to come and take advantage?
She's not stupid!
The third widow smiled, her tone was harmonious, and she could not tell that she was tired of Liu Pan'er at all. "Niece-in-law, how do you sell this braised water?"
Liu Pan'er replied: "Brine the water, ten cents per catty, and some braised soup."
The third widow smiled again, "From the Yuan Qing family, look at how little money I, an orphan and a widow, have. Since I am the elder, you can give some to my family."
Liu Pan'er shook his head and refused. If it were another family, Liu Pan'er might have agreed. After all, everyone didn't have much money on the way to escape famine. It would be the same if they owed money first, and then used the food when the food was collected.
"In a small business, we do not accept credit. Don't talk about our elders. Even if the King of Heaven is here, I have to give you money when you eat out."
The third widow cursed secretly in her heart, but pretended to be pitiful on her face, and said sarcastically: "Niece-in-law, my family has two widows and one child, and we really have no money. Just take pity on us!"
Liu Pan'er's face was solemn, but she still refused, "I pity you, but who pities us, mother and son? If you don't have meat to eat, you can still eat vegetables, fish in the river, and pick fruits in the woods. As long as you are diligent
, I will not starve to death in the end. This is how everyone in the village came to live. I was lucky enough to grow cantaloupe and horn honey, and I made some money, but that was all my hard-earned money, not blown by the strong wind."
At this time, Li Dabao ran over with disdain in his eyes, "When we opened up wasteland to plant melons, you said we were fools, like donkeys, we know how to work. Everything we have now is the result of hard work. Yes.
Oh, Third Grandma, didn’t you say before that pig intestines are filled with pig excrement and are so smelly that you won’t eat them even to death? Don’t eat them now either.”
Zhou Cuihua also persuaded her, "Yes, third sister-in-law, it's not easy for Yuan Qing's family. The pig intestines bought by A Fang are being cleaned by the river with their children. It's troublesome. It's not okay to be freeloaders. If every household is like this,
The Yuan Qing family's busy work is in vain and they have to pay for it, so we won't do it anymore, and then we won't be able to eat such delicious and cheap meat."
Other people in the village who were buying braised pork also quickly agreed, "If you can't afford one catty, you buy half a catty. You have a small family, so buy less and it will be enough."
"Hurry up and load two pounds for me, my boss is urging me!"
"My child insists on eating and will wallow if he is not given food. This makes me very worried."
······
Among the women in the village, some bought half a catty, some bought one catty, or two catties, and none of them were empty-handed.
If the third widow gave in so easily, she would not be the third widow. "I am from the Yuan Qing family. My family can't afford meat. Your stewed soup is free. It's free. Just give me some stewed soup."
Liu Pan'er shook her head and refused. The old woman had a wonderful idea, "You only get braised meat when you sell braised meat. If you don't buy meat, you can't give it."
If the Third Widow succeeds this time, she will be like a dog-skin plaster in the future and will definitely come here often to take advantage.
Liu Pan'er is most annoyed by such people. It doesn't matter if they are poor, but if they have backbone and work hard, they will be respected by others. If the third widow goes to work in her fields like Aunt Li did, she can give the third widow free of charge.
But the third widow just wanted her things with just her mouth. Of course Liu Pan'er was not happy.
Hearing this, the third widow pretended to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, which was dipped in ginger juice. Just put it on her eyelids, and the tears would flow quickly.
"From the Yuan Qing family, Ali Niang, I knew your mother-in-law was harsh on you before. I have a good relationship with your mother-in-law. When I see your mother-in-law, I will definitely say good things to you and praise you. Considering that I am the elder in the same village,
For my sake, please give me two kilograms of braised pork on credit first. I will pay you back when the grain is collected."
Although other people in the village think that the three widows like to take advantage and are not good people, but the orphans and widowed mothers are not shabby, and their lives will really not go on.
However, they did not dare to offend Liu Pan'er, after all, what Liu Pan'er said made sense.
When we get here, as long as we work hard, catch fish, gather wild fruits, there are plenty of wild vegetables, and we can eat all the sweet potato seedlings in the fields, we will not starve to death.
It's really annoying to be like the three widows who open their mouths and take advantage of others.
Everyone buys meat and doesn't get involved in these things. After working for a day, doesn't it taste good to go home and eat meat?
Seeing that the three widows were talking more and more enthusiastically, Liu Pan'er took advantage of the fact that there were still people selling braised pork, and looked at the three widows with a half-smile, "Hey, my third aunt, you have a good relationship with my mother-in-law, everyone."
