Chapter 55 Thick-skinned Daughter-in-law
Although it was past noon, the business on the pork stall was still very good. There were several people standing in front of them buying pork. When they went there, they left two, and there was a woman standing there.
Su Zhi recognized that the person was Liu Siniang at a glance. The weak woman who did not show disgust to her when she was still carrying the name of the broom star. Although she only saw that side, Su Zhi still remembered her, especially her back, which was thin but heavier than her.
"Si Niang, you are buying pork. What a coincidence."
Su Zhi was helped out of the car by Shen Zi'an and greeted Liu Siniang. Liu Siniang was Zhao Xiaomei's childhood playmate, and now she is married to a village. She is such a weak and kind woman. She is very kind.
Liu Siniang turned around and was also very happy to see Su Zhi. La Huang smiled and said, "Little sister, no, Su Zhi, you also come to the market."
After saying hello to Su Zhi, she nodded to Li Shi and Shen Zi'an and said hello. The look of lowering eyebrows made people know at a glance that she was not rude, but was not used to greeting men.
Su Zhi remembered that when she and Shen Zi'an talked about Liu Siniang, Shen Zi'an said that Liu Siniang's evil mother-in-law always scolded this weak daughter-in-law. As long as Liu Siniang stayed with a man for a little longer, she would be told by the old woman that she was going to Men talk a lot for fear of being scolded by her mother-in-law. Over time, it has become a natural reaction.
Su Zhi looked at Liu Siniang's bowing head and sympathized with her. It was really embarrassing to think of her daughter-in-law in ancient times.
"Yes, we're going back to buy some more meat. How about you? Did you come here with someone else or by yourself? If you come alone, let's go back together later! We just bought an ox cart to pull you up. Let's have a good talk together."
"Is this your ox cart?" Liu Siniang looked at the ox cart on the roadside and the cart, took Su Zhi's hand and said, "Congratulations, I heard that you hit the tiger yesterday. Fortunately, you are blessed. God bless you that nothing has happened. Be careful next time."
"It will." Su Zhi thought that Liu Siniang was really kind. As soon as others heard that they hit the tiger, they first felt that they had made a lot of money, but no one told them to be careful in the future.
Li Shi has already bought a piece of pork at this time. His family was few, so he bought two catties, and he bought streaky pork.
Pork is not cheap. Fat is the most expensive, 17 yuan per catty, and lean meat is the cheapest. It also costs 14 liters, and the pork belly is 16 liters per catty.
Su Zhi doesn't like to eat fatty meat. Although pigs now eat pig grass and leftovers at home, which is not fed by the feed of later generations. It tastes fat but not greasy, Su Zhi still doesn't like it very much, which is a matter of habit.
Shen Zi'an knew that Su Zhi didn't like to eat fat meat. I bought two catties of pork belly and three catties of lean meat.
The pork guy knew Shen Zi'an and Li Shi, and he talked to Shen Zi'an politely. He quickly cut the pork and sent two bones to Shen Zi'an.
Su Zhi asked, "Do you have any pigs in the water here? How do you sell it?"
Su Zhi looked around for pigs into the water. She saw pig hearts, pig livers and so on, but she didn't see pig intestines. Su Zhi didn't want to make a fortune by selling pigs into the water. She has a spiritual spring in her hand and won't do that tiring thing, and in her opinion, it is still a little unreliable to wash the pig into the water with flour or salt. At this time, noodles and salt are very valuable. In order to eat pigs Home, I heard that vinegar and alkali can also get rid of that stench, but do these two things exist now?
As soon as the pork man heard Su Zhi's question, he saw that although Su Zhichang was not very outstanding, his voice was beautiful, and he knew that this was Shen Zi'an's daughter-in-law. He immediately smiled and said, "Why did the little lady ask that? Your father-in-law bought you so much meat, is it enough for you to eat? The pig's water is not delicious, the pig's heart and lungs are okay, and the pig's large intestine is too smelly. Although it can be cleaned, it is very difficult. Even if the scraping is clean, it still smells.
As soon as Su Zhi heard this, she knew that no one knew how to remove the taste with noodles, but someone also ate it.
"I'm just asking, I don't know how much it costs."
"Pig heart is sold at the price of lean meat, pig liver and pig lungs for eight cents a catty, and pig intestine for five catties a catty."
Su Zhi heard that it was much cheaper than meat, but it was not so cheap that it was regarded as garbage or added. Think about it. In ancient times, people were diligent and thrifty. How could anyone give away what they could eat for nothing? Although it smells a little bad, the meat is still meat.
"Sell me that pig's heart, another catty of pork liver, and weigh the large intestine for me!"
Su Zhi said that although she is not going to sell pigs to make money, she will still eat this. This is not worse than meat, and it is also cheaper. Isn't it stupid not to buy it?
Li Shi and Liu Siniang both looked at Su Zhi and thought that she really bought it. It's not that she can't buy this, but that Shen Zi'an just bought so much meat, and she bought pigs into the water. No matter how she looked at it, it didn't seem that she couldn't eat meat.
Shen Zi'an said, "Daughter-in-law, don't eat that. If you think I don't buy enough meat, let's buy a few more pounds of meat. Brother, three more pounds of lean meat."
"No, just follow what I just said." Su Zhi said to the pork guy, and then said to Shen Zi'an, "Can't you trust my cooking skills? I'm sure I can put the pig into the water to make delicious food.
Shen Zi'an thought of the food cooked by his daughter-in-law, and he believed it. His daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is good. Even the porridge can be made is extremely fresh and fragrant. It makes him want to drink it again and again, and the amount of food is better. Maybe my daughter-in-law can really make pigs into the water. He didn't stop him. He thought it would be fine even if he couldn't do it well. It's just that some pigs went into the water. His wife would buy it if she wanted to buy it. Even if she used copper money to float, as long as she was happy, he would not stop her.
Li Shi remembered the food cooked by Su Zhi and said, "Zi'an, if the pigs made by my sister-in-law are delicious, don't forget to ask my brother to eat a bowl!"
Su Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Stone, I will definitely invite you to go."
Liu Siniang looked at Su Zhiyan and Yanyan talking to Shen Zi'an and Li Shi. Looking at the bright smile on her face, she envied her in her heart. She thought that although she had been slandered before, now everything is over, and she doesn't know when her hard life will come to an end.
After buying the meat, Su Zhi asked Liu Siniang to take a bus back with them, but Liu Siniang refused.
"No, I still have something to do. You go first. Don't wait for me."
Liu Siniang said and left, and Su Zhi did not force it. She felt that Liu Siniang probably didn't want to be seen by others and go back in an ox cart with them. Su Zhi knew that her family was now being watched by all the villagers, and Liu Siniang was afraid of becoming the focus of discussion. That's right. If there is such a wicked mother-in-law, she will be in trouble when she walks with them.
When he went back, Li Shi was still driving the car. Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi sat in the back. The sun was very good. In this November weather, it was a little warm. Li Shi and Shen Zi'an talked, and Su Zhi would also say a few words, and laughter sounded from time to time.
On the way, I met a lot of people from Riverside Village. Everyone was envious of Shen Zi'an's purchase of a ox cart. They didn't invite anyone to sit up, but they still met a thick-skinned person and climbed into the car. This person was the neighbor of the Shen family. The man's name was Zhao Dazhu Zhu's daughter-in-law, the equal generation is called Dazhu's sister-in-law.
"Tut, Brother Zi'an, you're making a fortune. You even bought an ox cart, and how much money does it cost? There must be thirty-two in total! It's so enviable!"
Dazhu's daughter-in-law said, the frog's eyes were full of envy and jealousy when he saw the cow's car and the things in the car, and he couldn't wait to hold them all in his arms.
Su Zhi doesn't like this woman. It's good everywhere in the countryside, but some people's mouths are not clean, and swearing is simply common. Especially those women and women, even men have to retreat when scolding people.
When Su Zhi lived in the Shen family, she often heard the daughter-in-law next door swearing. Even Sun's noisy shrew had to give up a little, because Sun didn't dare to swear too much, and only dared to shout loudly. In contrast, Su Zhi hates this kind of cursing. And she is now sitting opposite herself, spitting and flying around. She is glad that she has covered her face again, otherwise she will have to wash her face when she goes home. At the same time, she is also glad that Shen Zi'an did not sit directly opposite her. She doesn't want her father-in-law to suffer this kind of suffering.
Shen Zi'an said, "Money is spent a lot, but it's very useful. It's worth a tiger for a cow. In the future, we will rely on farming to support ourselves.
Dazhu's daughter-in-law glanced at Shen Zi'an and said, "Look at what you said, brother Zi'an, you are so pitiful. A tiger for a cow. Is there any left? We don't want to borrow money from you. It seems that all the money has been spent! Besides, you have spent all the tiger's money. Don't you still have money for ginseng? You are a rich man now. In the future, if your brother Dazhu has a place with money, you can't say no. Don't forget that you, Brother Dazhu, have been playing with you since you were a child.
Zhao Dazhu sat there in embarrassment. He played with Shen Zi'an until he grew up, and it can also be said that he fought with Shen Zi'an. At that time, he always played with Shen Ziping, but he bullied Shen Zi'an a lot. Later, when Zhe Zi'an grew up, they couldn'
Li Shi said in the front, "Daughter-in-law of Dazhu, don't touch the idea of the ginseng. It's from the holy beast. If it doesn't matter, be careful of retribution!"
Dazhu's daughter-in-law shrank her neck and said, "Didn't I say hello to the Zi'an brothers? It's not for nothing. By the way, Brother Zi'an, it's not too bright this morning. Uncle Youfu came to you. He was very unhappy to see that you were not at home! It seems that I also want to ask you for ginseng!"
Su Zhi and Shen Zi'an looked at each other and thought that they would block the door before dawn. Fortunately, they left early, otherwise they would be blocked! ( To be continued) Q
