The two of them went straight to the butcher shop. Today happened to be the market, and there were three meat sellers. The meat left at the stalls was all about the same. Su Ziling went to Butcher Yang first, after all, she had been buying meat from him.

"Hey! Xiaoqing is here, I haven't seen you for a while!" Seeing Su Ziling, Butcher Yang smiled so hard that stars almost appeared in his eyes.

In his eyes, Su Ziling = the God of Wealth!

Every time she came, there were dozens of kilograms of meat, and she wiped out his shop several times.

Even though she stopped coming to the market later, her brother would often come to buy sausages. He even thought it was a bargain. It originally cost eight cents a portion, but he simply counted it as five cents, and even the bones were collected at will. One or two cents.

After all, no one would eat that thing, and there was no meat. How many hours would they be left to boil all the bones? Don’t you need to chop the firewood?

Therefore, he is happy to be such a good person. A few unwanted bones can keep a big guest, what a bargain!

He gathered the meat together and said, "What do you want to order today?"

Su Ziling glanced at it. There was not much meat on the chopping board, but the bones were still there, and the fat intestines...

She looked around but didn't see anything. Butcher Yang chuckled and said, "I've saved all the fat intestines for you."

It turned out that Su Ziling had told him to leave the sausages to her, because braised sausages and braised pork added to sweet potato noodles were particularly popular, and the sausages were cheap, so Su Ziling basically made the sausages at his house.

"Weigh them, I'll take them all!" Su Ziling waved her hand, very proudly.

"Okay!" Butcher Yang smiled even more happily, "Five kilograms of fat meat, three kilograms of pork belly, three kilograms of lean meat, and the fat intestines will be counted as five cents for you, and these bones will be given to you!"

Butcher Yang was also generous. There were at least four or five bones in the pile. Although they were bare and contained no meat, the soup was still very fragrant, especially the bone marrow.

But their bones are basically used to make soup and sold with sweet potato starch.

"Five pounds of fat meat costs ninety cents, three pounds of pork belly fifty-one cents, lean meat forty-five cents, and fat intestines five cents. The total is one hundred and ninety-one cents. Just give me one hundred and ninety cents."

Butcher Yang smiled, skewering the meat with straws, and quoted the price.

The basket was lined with banana leaves. Su Zimu put all the meat in the basket and carried the sausage. Su Ziling paid for it quickly.

I also didn’t forget to tell Butcher Yang, “Uncle, remember to keep the fat intestines and bones for me!”

"Remember it, remember it!" Butcher Yang laughed too loudly and replied while cleaning up the stall. The butchers next to him were filled with envy when they saw it.

Seeing that everyone's situation is about the same, you have a big brother who just steals the tower? Who wouldn’t envy this!

One of them saw this and said, "Little girl, I still have the pig intestines at home, and they cost five cents. Do you want them?"

When Su Ziling heard this, she paused and said, "Yes!"

For five cents, a pair of pig intestines includes the pork belly. What a bargain!

The few people next to him saw this and followed suit. For the last five cents a pair of pig intestines, Su Ziling directly took three pairs, plus the ones bought from Butcher Yang, it was four pairs.

Thinking that three kilograms of pork belly was not enough to eat, she bought another three kilograms.

Three kilograms are used for marinating, and three kilograms are used for making braised pork with pickled vegetables. You can eat enough in one go!

There were four portions of pig intestines. Su Zimu was holding one portion in his left hand and one portion in his right hand, with a look of despair on his face. The pig intestines were delicious, but were they too smelly?

When Butcher Yang saw this, he lent the bucket to them directly, "Xiaoqing, come here and put the bucket here. I'll lend the bucket to you."

"Thank you, uncle. I can't carry this back without a bucket. It smells too strong." Su Ziling breathed a sigh of relief. Just now she was still thinking about taking out a bucket from which the tofu was sold.

"What a big deal, just remember to bring it over next time." Butcher Yang waved his hand nonchalantly.

Su Ziling carried a basket of meat on his back, while Su Zimu carried the bucket of fat sausage alone, "Er Niu, let's send it out first and then come back to buy something. It smells a bit strong."

"Okay, but what else do you want to buy?" It was difficult for Su Zimu to carry it, so Su Ziling helped her.

"Buy some spices and go back to braise the sausages and meat. Sweet potato noodles have become more and more popular recently, and the demand for meat and sausages is increasing." The two of them walked towards the city gate as they talked.

Old Uncle Li tied the ox to the wooden stake, and he sat on the ox cart, always paying attention to the direction of the city gate.

Because Lao Su's family has been selling tofu and renting his oxcart, their family's life is getting better day by day.

He earns thirty cents a day, nine hundred cents a month, and an income of nearly one tael. How could he have dared to think of this before!

There was also a bullock cart driver next to him. The two had known each other for a long time. He was filled with envy as he watched Old Man Li's face getting rounder and his body bones becoming stronger.

"It's better for you, Lao Li. I'm thirty cents a day, and I'll almost have a tael of silver in a month."

Old Man Li smiled and said, "Luck, luck, it's all thanks to the master's family." When he glanced at the two people at the gate of the city, he stood up immediately, "I won't say anything anymore, I will go and help you first."

He trotted forward and took the bucket from Su Zimu's hand, "Hey, I bought a lot! But this thing is not easy to wash."

In the past, many people bought it because it was cheap, but most of them tasted original, and it was particularly difficult to clean and not delicious when made. Gradually, no one bought it.

"It is indeed a bit difficult to clean, but if the seasoning is enough, it tastes better than meat." The ones from Lao Su's family are all better than this.

Especially the marinade and bibimbap are so good that even Ah Xiu can eat two bowls of them.

"Uncle Li, please look after it for us, we need to buy some more things."

Old Man Li waved his hand, "Go, go, it's still early."

Looking at the basket of meat, the coachman next to him was very greedy, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is a basket of meat. It seems that her family is rich. Lao Li, what is her family doing? She is so rich!"

Old Man Li rolled his eyes at him, and the smile on his face stopped, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask!"

After saying that, he looked like he didn't want to talk to him. The man sneered lightly and muttered in his heart: Tsk! What's so great about it, if you really have that much money, why would you buy a bucket of pig intestines?

There were also whole grains at home, so Su Ziling didn't go to the food store, but went directly to the medicine store.

You need to buy spices to make braised pork. The ones I made a few times were also delicious, but the spices were always lacking. Su Ziling thought that she would buy them all at once when she came today.

Baicaotang.

Su Ziling stood at the door and looked up. She only found out about this after asking Butcher Yang.

Close to the vegetable market is a relatively cheap medicine shop. Villagers generally come here to pick up medicine or are sick. The price is more suitable for them.

There was a doctor in his sixties sitting in the pharmacy with a white beard. There were three people queuing in front of him.

There was a middle-aged man at the counter, who was taking medicine for someone. When he saw Su Ziling and the others coming in, he looked up and said, "Two of you, do you want to see a doctor or take medicine?"

"Queue over there for medical treatment. If you want to get medicine, go here."

After speaking, he wrapped the medicine and handed it to the person in front of him, carefully telling her what to avoid.

Seeing the woman leaving, Su Ziling stepped forward and said, "I would like to ask if you have cinnamon, nutmeg, bay leaves, cloves, licorice, and tangerine peel here?"

Star anise, grass fruit, amomum villosum and fennel are all available at home, but I bought the others when I couldn’t find them.
