Chapter 7

Listening to the sound of talking around, Mei Xue knew something, "Grandma, how much can we sell so much?"

Grandma He smiled. Seeing Xiaoxue so nervous, she thought Xiaoxue was scared by the money: "No less than thirty yuan."

Mei Xue is going crazy. There are at least thirty kilograms here, and they are all sold for only thirty yuan. Oh my God, how can she not sell it?

"Haha, this precious gold is expensive, now it can be sold at least 80 cents per pound." Grandma He said proudly.

Eight cents?

Mei Xue was so crazy: "Grandma, can we not sell it?" It would be better to take it home and eat it yourself.

"What's wrong?" Grandma He found a location, stopped and asked.

"It's so cheap, I'll lose money if I sell it." Mei Xue couldn't say that this thing could be sold for hundreds or thousands in later generations.

In the past, meat is not something that ordinary people can afford. Even if it is a wealthy family, it will only eat a few meals a month.

She is also greedy for meat.

"Cheap?" Grandma He was amused and crying, "Do you know how much pork costs only one pound? The pigs only cost one pound and two cents per pound. This thing has meat and meat, but it can't stand it and has thorns, so it's a few cents cheaper than pork."

After hearing this, Mei Xue didn't dare to ask any more questions. She could only listen to grandma's words and sell it.

Fortunately, there are quite a lot of people who like this thing, and it was sold out in about an hour.

Holding thirty dollars in his hand, Grandma He looked happy, "Let's go, Grandma buys you meat."

When Mei Xue heard the meat, she felt better. "Well, I also bought oil." There were still crabs in her space that were not fried.

“Haha, buy it.”

At this time, everyone eats lard, and few people eat vegetable oil. That thing is expensive.

Besides, buying some fat meat can make a lot of oil, and the oil residue can be eaten with rice, which is so cost-effective.

So, Mei Xue, who was unaware of it, was taken to a deep pit again, making her fall in love with the smell of lard.

Nowadays, the business is private. When Mei Xue followed her grandmother to the pork stall, the meat here was still bleeding, and it was obvious that she had just been killed.

"The old lady wants some meat?" Boss Pig was also very hospitable, and asked Grandma He with a thick and generous face.

He is not panic when he has money. The old lady is holding dozens of dollars, and she is so confident.

"Give me two pounds of fat meat, and half a pound of lean meat." Generally, fewer people buy lean meat, but more people buy fat meat because fat meat can be boiled oil.

Lean meat is not oily and very heavy. If it weren't for the cheap, the family wouldn't buy it.

Smelling the aroma of the pork, Mei Xue swallowed, the soft braised pork (only seen in the picture), sweet and sour pork ribs (in the picture), etc.

Mei Xue wanted to steal the boss, but reason stopped her.

However, the swallowing look made everyone look at it, and Grandma He looked distressed.

If she was her granddaughter, how could she make her so greedy? It starts here.

"Be good at Xiaoxue, grandma will give you meat to stew tonight." Grandma He held Mei Xue's hand tightly, just as she was afraid that she wouldn't help but go up to eat raw meat.

Mei Xue also came to her senses and felt a little embarrassed, "Haha, grandma is so nice."

Seeing that the grandparents and grandchildren were very kind-hearted, the boss laughed and said, "The old lady really loves the child. If this meat is to be stewed, it is better to be this piece of meat, and the price is cheaper than fat meat."

The boss took out a piece of pork belly from behind the chopping board, which was originally reserved for his son to eat.

Seeing that they were so kind, the boss couldn't help but take it out.

As soon as she saw the pork belly, Mei Xue's eyes shone brightly and looked at Grandma He with a longing look on her face.

The old lady could not stand Mei Xue's begging eyes, and immediately nodded in pain: "As long as the boss, then take this piece, and you don't want the lean meat."

The boss was confused, why don’t you lose lean meat? He... Forget it, forget it, be kind.

Mei Xue of course saw the boss’ embarrassment, but her family didn’t have much money, so she could only buy more meat when she had money next time.

"The old lady gives you a total of four pounds and one ounce, which is counted as four pounds." The boss put the meat on a straw rope and handed it to the old lady.

Mei Xue hurriedly took it.

Seeing her a little childish, the old lady was so amused and laughed: "Give it." After paying the money, it was not early, and the work in the fields was not finished yet, so she had to go back.

"Xiaoxue, let's go home." The old lady pulled Meixue and walked along the way.

"Everyone listens to grandma." Mei Xue didn't ask much, just eat meat today.

Grandma He was so happy that the grandparents and grandchildren walked home with a lot of harvest.

It was almost noon when I got home. I walked all the way and ate some food at home in the morning. Now my stomach is empty.

As soon as he entered the house, Mei Xue walked into the kitchen with her meat: "Grandma, go and rest for a while, I'll go to cook."

The old lady was really tired and didn't be polite to her granddaughter-in-law: "Sure, then I'll go and sit there. If you're old, it won't be useful."

Sitting under the eaves and resting for a while, when I recovered, the kitchen also smelled. The old lady felt a little reluctant, but she saw Xiaoxue's thin body again.

"Forget it, it's a blessing to be able to eat."

I got up, went to the well to wash my face, and I was much more energetic.

By relying on the mountain to eat, this well is also the groundwater in the mountains, which is cool and quenches thirst and has a hint of sweetness.

There is a water-shaking well in the front yard of the house, and a shallow well dug by one at the back of the house. It is usually used for washing clothes and vegetables. The well door is wide open, and the water flows down from the mountain. When the water is full, it flows out by itself.

Mei Xue uses water from the back of the kitchen to wash rice and vegetables. Mei Xue is a person with strong mobility and quickly stuffed the rice. She didn't make much more complicated food.

Of course, no matter how complicated she is, she can't do it. She can only cut some lean meat, chop it up, and then make a meatball soup.

The vegetables are even simpler, they are all grown by our own home, and this month is the time when the family’s vegetables are harvested.

Two simple dishes, one dish, one soup, one meat and one vegetable, "Grandma, it's time to eat." The sun is getting bigger and bigger, and the kitchen is very hot because it is burning.

Mei Xue brought the dishes to a small table outside the kitchen. It is usually for the family to eat, so the guests will eat in the kitchen because there is a large table inside.

If you hold a wine at home, you have to be in the yard and in the main hall. For the grandparents and grandchildren, it is just right to have a meal on the small table.

The rice was also turned on early, and Mei Xue knew how to use it. It was similar to her cooking in the wild on weekdays.

"Come on, my Xiaoxue is Lihei." The old lady hung her towel on the wall of the house.

The houses in the entire Hejia Village are all wooden houses. They can hang many things by placing nails and pulling ropes on wooden walls.
