Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Chapter 72 Big purchase at the street meat stall

Liu Yu saw Lin and Mr. Qian chatting around the eldest son of the family, so she waved goodbye to them and went home.

"Go back, Chang Sheng came out several times this afternoon to visit." After saying that, he gave Liu Yu a tacit smile.

Liu Yu was a little confused when she saw Mrs. Lin smiling heartily at him. Then she thought that maybe because Brother Hesheng was about to get married, he liked everything, so he didn't worry about it.

As soon as he took a step forward, he saw a person slowly walking out of the fenced yard of his house. When the person immediately turned his head and looked over, he looked like a tall onion lined with a green coarse cloth. .

"You're back!" Changsheng's eyes suddenly sparkled, and his eyes and brows were full of surprise and full of smiles.

Looking at Liu Yu who was smiling at him, Chang Sheng hurriedly moved his crutches and walked in the direction of Liu Yu.

"Don't move, there are only a few steps to get home." Liu Yu strode towards Changsheng. When he reached the gate of the fence, Liu Yu stopped and entered the courtyard one after another with Changsheng.

"Hey, did you see that just now?" Mr. Qian had a subtle smile on his lips and used his hand to tap Mrs. Lin's arm.

"I saw it. It's the same as you. Don't make any noise." Lin turned around and looked around, lowering her voice.

"Hey, I have the tightest mouth." After finishing speaking, Mr. Qian sighed: "Longevity is the end of all hardships."

The two of them sighed again.

Chang Sheng and Liu Yu didn't know anything about these things that they were sighing and sighing behind. They were currently dismantling the strong ropes that tied them up.

In order to prevent the rope from untying the porcelain and sliding down, Liu Yu deliberately supported the handlebars on the bench to keep the body in a balanced position.

Liu Fusheng and Nian, who were cooking and lighting the fire in the kitchen, also hurried to the yard to help. The few of them untied the rope very quickly.

Nian was still worried. He held the handle of the car steady, squinted at the piles of tall porcelain, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Hey, dear, how much money do these porcelains cost?" Nian took a closer look and added up the approximate number, feeling a little hurt. There must be four to five hundred porcelains in this cart. What if it fell into his own hands.

"One hundred big coins." Liu Yu said casually as he moved the porcelain down.

"How much!" Nian couldn't believe it was so cheap.

"They're not all good porcelain. Just pay a hundred pence and you can take whatever you want."

Seeing that the three of them were interested, Liu Yu told them in detail about Jin'er Porcelain Factory.

After saying that, the porcelain was moved into the Toji room.

During dinner, Liu Yu explained the price of the porcelain to Nian.

It was also to prevent him from setting up a stall at the entrance of the kiln tomorrow. If someone from the village came to pick out porcelain, Nian could easily collect the money.

"I counted the porcelain when I moved it, and it was almost over 480. We have more dishes. Grandma will go pick them out tomorrow and pick out the ones we need for our own use."

"I know, these wide-mouthed bowls in our house were bought by your grandpa and I when we were young. They have been used for dozens of years. They are so thick and clumsy that they have long wanted to replace them. This bowl has a big mouth and the rice will get cold in the winter. That’s called fast.”

Nian held the large porcelain bowl in his hand and said with a smile.

"Tomorrow I will pick out a set of porcelain bowls and bring them to the crowd to have a grand meal."

In winter, everyone likes to eat around the stove, and in summer, adults and children like to hold bowls and find a cool place to eat.

Willow trees and large locust trees are planted along the bank of the Moon River that flows through the village. The summer wind blows along the river, and even the wind seems to be cooler. It is a good place to enjoy the cool air. Villagers often go to the bank with bowls in their hands. Have a meal.

Nian thought about this and added another bowl of sweet potato slice soup to himself.

After the meal was finished and the kitchen was cleaned up, Nian asked Liu Yu to bring the dry food tomorrow in the cupboard of the kitchen, then she brought hot water into the room.

Since he had to get up early tomorrow to go to the kiln entrance, Chang Sheng urged Liu Yu to go to bed after washing up.

Liu Yu originally thought of discussing with Chang Sheng not to take him with her to the kiln entrance in the future. She would set out before dawn. The temperature in the morning was really cold and Chang Sheng's legs were still recovering. Liu Yu was afraid that he would suffer from the cold. Let’s forget about leg pain.

The words were on his lips, and when he saw the happy look on Changsheng's face when he talked about going out, he swallowed them back. That's all. When he leaves tomorrow, he will bring a small mattress to cover Changsheng's legs, which should also be able to block the cold air.

The next day, Liu Yu woke up early before dawn. It was dark outside the window. Liu Yu got up in the dark, lit the oil lamp, quickly dressed and freshened up, not forgetting to tie the forehead band on her forehead.

After packing it up, I took out the small mattress I used when I was a child. Maybe it had been pressed in the box for too long, and it smelled like a box.

After carrying the oil lamp to the next room and telling Chang Sheng to get dressed and take his time, Liu Yu went to carry the chestnut cakes to the car, and then packed the scale, clay stove, iron pot, oil paper and other items into a basket, finishing everything. After that, he quickly went to the kitchen to heat up the meal.

The two of them ate breakfast in a hurry. Liu Yu took the dry food in the cupboard and carried Changsheng onto the cart. Against the still dark sky, she pulled the cart and set off for the entrance of the kiln.

Before reaching the entrance of the village, she heard the sound of dogs barking in the distance. Liu Yu looked around and remembered that Tian Fugui and his family lived there.

Thinking of what I heard from the Xu family's aunt at the entrance of the village the day before yesterday, that Shui Sanmei's wife had been going back and forth to the town recently, I couldn't help but wonder. It couldn't be that the noise caused by the woman had startled the dog. If she went to the town at this time, Yes, it's too early.

Liu Yu frowned and looked back at the house hidden behind the bamboo forest.

When Changsheng rushed all the way to Xujiaba, the sky was already completely bright. When he arrived at the entrance of the kiln, there were already customers sitting in front of the thatched stall selling breakfast.

Opposite the street, there are two businesses selling pork that are doing a good job. Customers come in twos and threes to cut a pound, two and a half pounds of meat.

Although the butcher who sells meat has a rude face and looks very irritable, he still smiles and is very patient when facing the customers who come to sell meat.

Liu Yu thought of the ditch of leeks at home, and saw that the pork seemed to be steaming and really fresh, so she also spent twenty-eight cents to buy two kilograms of pork belly.

The butcher's scale weighed quite high.

"Young man, would you like to buy some pork liver to replenish your brother's liver? The pig just slaughtered today is so fresh!"

Pork liver is not expensive. After asking about three cents per pound, I bought a large pair of livers for ten cents.

"How much does it cost to knock off the fleshy bones?"

Liu Yu pointed to several large bones piled on the sack on the ground next to him.

"That's one penny per catty. If the young man wants it, the old man won't weigh it. I'll give it to you if it's cheaper. How about two cents each."

These big bones are either bought by the wealthy families in the town to feed their dogs, or they are eaten by smashing the bone marrow in their own soup. Ordinary people rarely buy these bones.

There is no meat on the big bones, and if you boil some meat soup, you can cook several pots of rice with the firewood. Farmers are very careful with their calculations, and firewood is not readily available. They don’t have mountains here, so they can cook in winter. You have to calculate the kang.

Where can I free up the extra firewood to cook bone soup?
