The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 125, Change Goose

After Si Zhu left, Li Weiguo and Yu Yu looked at each other in silence.

"Forget it, ignore him, let's have breakfast. Yu Yu, please give one to the old lady first, and go back quickly."

Li Weiguo shook his head and ignored Shazhu's affairs. He turned around and went to the stove to serve steamed buns and lean meat porridge.

"okay."

Yuyu shrugged and didn't care. What her stupid brother decided was something that even the cow would never come back from.

I couldn't persuade him anymore, so I had no choice but to let him go. I just hoped that it wouldn't be too miserable when he came back.

After delivering breakfast to the old lady, Li Weiguo and Yu Yu prepared to enjoy breakfast.

As soon as breakfast was served and he was about to start eating, the half-open door was pushed open.

Turning around and looking, it turned out to be the third uncle, Yan Fugui.

"Hey, Wei Guo, Yu Yu, you're having breakfast. It's so rich, hehehe."

As soon as the third uncle entered the room, he was attracted by the breakfast on the table.

White flour steamed buns, lean meat and egg porridge, pickled radish and pickled cucumbers are really simple and luxurious. Not many people in the courtyard are willing to eat breakfast every day, let alone eat it so well.

The third uncle rarely eats breakfast in his own family. Even if he does, it is stick batter with pickles. The monthly fine grain ration is exchanged for coarse grains.

Looking at it, the third uncle's eyes widened and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Third uncle, it's morning. Have you eaten? Can we have some together?"

Li Weiguo greeted the third uncle when he saw that he was staring at the table and didn't want to be left standing.

"Then if you're kind enough, I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders, hehehe."

The third uncle knew that Li Weiguo wouldn't care about this, so he didn't hesitate and sat down directly.

Li Weiguo smiled and didn't care. He took an empty bowl and scooped him a bowl of porridge.

"Come on, third uncle, the porridge has just been cooked, it's a bit hot, please be careful."

"Hey, okay, okay, thank you, hehehe."

The third uncle took the meat porridge with both hands, his smile never stopped, as if he had picked up a gold ingot, and he didn't think he was an outsider. He smelled the aroma of the meat porridge intoxicatedly, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Li Weiguo and Yu Yu looked at each other and smiled, then each lowered his head to eat breakfast.

Not long after, the steamed buns and lean meat porridge were eaten cleanly by the three of them.

After breakfast, Yu Yu stood up to clear away the dishes. The third uncle didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he rubbed his hands and looked at Li Weiguo with a smile.

One look at his appearance, and you knew something was up.

Li Weiguo glanced at him and asked directly, "Third Master, do you think you have something going on this early in the morning?"

"Haha, Wei Guo still understands me."

The third uncle smiled and continued: "That's right, Weiguo, didn't I queue up to buy a lion-headed goose years ago? It weighs eleven pounds. Our family doesn't like eating it either, so I was wondering if you wanted it. , if you want it, I will send it to you."

Li Weiguo raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

do not like to eat?

It's because I don't want to eat it.

The lion's head goose weighing eleven kilograms costs one yuan per kilogram in the market, and it costs eleven yuan to buy it. This is only available during the Spring Festival based on household registration, and it is not easily available in ordinary times.

If you take it out and sell it, you can probably sell it for fourteen or five yuan at least, and there is no bargaining. According to the temperament of the third uncle, it is impossible to eat such a valuable thing, and it is a serious matter to keep it and exchange it for money. .

Li Weiguo didn't care about the third uncle's calculations. Everyone has his own way of living in this day, whichever suits him. If he had the luxury, who would choose to be stingy, so he understood the third uncle.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo nodded and said: "Okay, I really like eating big geese. Third uncle, do you want to exchange money or something else?"

He didn't have any idea about this big goose. There were so many in the space that he couldn't eat them all every day, but he got them openly and honestly, and it was easy to explain why he was eating them. Anyway, he was not short of money.

"Haha, Weiguo, it doesn't matter if it's money or things. I see that the third uncle trusts you the most. How about you give me a price?" The third uncle rubbed his hands and said sheepishly.

Hearing this, Li Weiguo touched his chin, and then said: "How about this, Third Uncle. If you want money, I'll give you eighteen yuan, which is slightly higher than the price in the pigeon market. After all, it's the Chinese New Year, and you have money. It’s hard to buy things. If you need supplies, I’ll give you ten pounds of pork suet. What do you think?”

When the third uncle first heard the price of eighteen yuan, he was quite moved, but when he heard the ten pounds of pork suet at the back, his eyes lit up.

He quickly responded: "Pork suet is good! I want pork suet!"

Even though pork suet only costs 70 cents a pound with cash coupons, most people can't even buy it, let alone buy ten pounds at a time.

If you put it in the pigeon market, lard suet can easily be sold for two yuan a pound, and it will be sold out in an instant.

Moreover, ten kilograms of pork suet boiled into lard is enough for their family to consume for three to four months. With such a huge bargain, the third uncle could not miss it, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, third uncle, then you go back and get the goose, and I will go home and bring you the suet."

"Okay, okay, let's walk then. We'll go back and get it now."

With that said, the third uncle didn't care about breakfast anymore. He quickly put down the bowl and went back to get the goose, for fear that Li Weiguo would regret it.

Back at home in the front yard, Li Weiguo closed the door, took ten kilograms of pork suet skewered on bamboo skewers from the space static warehouse, and then went out to exchange it with the third uncle.

After going out, the third uncle and the third aunt were waiting there. The third aunt was also holding a lion-headed goose in her hand. It looked like it was well taken care of. She stretched her neck and screamed "quack", and she was very energetic.

There was no ink mark either. Li Weiguo walked over and handed the pork suet to the third uncle's hand: "Third uncle, would you weigh it?"

"Oh, I still can't believe you, you must be very weak, hehehe."

The third uncle hurriedly took the suet, not worried about Li Weiguo cheating him, and with his skill, he could basically estimate the items as close as possible once he passed them.

"Okay, you two get busy first, I'll take the goose back." With that said, Li Weiguo took the big goose from the third aunt's hand.

"Okay, okay, you're busy."

Returning to the main room in the middle courtyard from the front yard, Li Weiguo placed the tied goose directly next to the stove.

"Yu Yu, I'll leave this goose to you. Keep it for now. After yesterday's goose meat is finished, we'll kill it."

"Okay, Brother Wei Guo. But have we lost money? This goose doesn't have much oil or water." After saying that, Yu Yu came over and pulled the goose, feeling quite disgusted.

She is also used to being frugal on rainy days. In her eyes, meat with oil and water is good meat. Although goose meat is delicious, its status cannot be compared with pork suet.

Li Weiguo laughed when he heard this and said: "Haha, it's not a loss. We just boiled twenty kilograms of pork suet, and there is no shortage of lard. Besides, isn't it delicious to stew a goose in an iron pot?"

"No! You have a point!"

As soon as the little greedy cat heard the goose stewed in the iron pot, he immediately swallowed his saliva and didn't care whether it was oil or water.
