Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth
Chapter 43 Ding the Butcher's Shop
But in fact, in her previous life, Gu Qingzhi did know how to embroider.
Before she was twelve years old, she lived a carefree life and had almost never been involved in housework. She was the type who had never had to do any housework.
Her mother treated her like a daughter from a wealthy family.
However, after my father became seriously ill, the burden of the family suddenly became heavier. In order to take care of my father and earn money for his treatment, my mother worked day and night, doing embroidery work so hard that she damaged her eyes without realizing it.
This made the family's financial situation increasingly difficult, so she proposed to learn embroidery from A Niang, hoping to share some of the financial pressure on the family.
Later, in order to make life better for Gu Yan and his sister at home, she took the initiative to suggest that Gu Xiaoshui learn embroidery together.
Fortunately, they are quite talented in this area.
But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't save their father's life.
It was after that that Ah Niang suffered a huge blow. She began to believe the rumors in the village, lost confidence in life, and took her anger out on Gu Yange...
Thinking of this, Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but squeeze the cloth tightly.
Now that she has been given a chance to start over, she must not let history repeat itself and must not go to that step.
Perhaps, she could take this opportunity to go back and discuss with her mother, start learning embroidery, and make the fact that she can embroider public.
In this way, she could help her mother with embroidery and create more income for the family.
This life is already very different from the previous one, but it is always better to have another way to make money. I cannot lose the people around me because of the lack of these material things.
Daddy's illness, brother's studies, mom's eyes, all these require money...
"Brother, you don't believe Qingqing? Qingqing is very smart. I'll ask my mother to teach me when I get home. In a few days, brother will be able to wear the clothes made by Qingqing."
He didn't expect that his words would arouse the little girl's competitive spirit. However, thinking about being able to wear the clothes made by his sister, he felt a little more excited. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair. "Then I'll wait and see."
Humph, the little girl went to choose the fabric angrily.
I must impress my brother in a few days!
Finally, the two of them carried the cloth packed by the waiter and walked out of the cloth shop under the waiter's enthusiastic gaze.
"Brother, let's go to the butcher shop and see if there is any meat left."
Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, "I know there is a butcher's shop called Ding in the east of the county town. The prices are fair, clearly marked, and they never cheat on weight."
Gu Qingzhi opened her watery eyes wide after hearing this, and seemed a little impatient, "Then what are we waiting for, brother, let's go quickly. If we go too late, we won't be able to pick good meat."
The brother and sister walked quickly towards Butcher Ding's shop.
Who knew that I was still too late, there were already more than ten people queuing in front of the butcher shop.
Gu Qingzhi had never seen people queuing up to buy meat, so she was a little curious and stood on tiptoe from time to time to see how the people in front of her bought meat.
Gu Yan found it very funny. He stretched out his hands, put them on her waist, and lifted her up with force. Now, Gu Qingzhi could see how the people in front bought meat.
The lady at the head of the line said, "Butcher Ding, give me a pound of blunt-knife Dingtou meat."
Butcher Ding quickly cut a piece of pork and put it on the scale. It was exactly one pound. He tied it up with a hemp rope and handed it to the lady. "It's 30 cents in total, lady, take it."
The old lady took out 30 cents and handed it over, then took the meat from Butcher Ding and left with a smile on her face.
Seeing this, Gu Qingzhi also knew how people bought meat. She motioned for Gu Yan to put her down, and then she realized, "Brother, are your hands sore?"
Gu Yan curled his lips and raised his hand to touch her hair, "No. Qingqing is too thin. You need to eat more."
Gu Qingzhi almost got angry and embarrassed after hearing this. Humph, I won’t tell my brother about it.
People were worried about his hand, but he wanted to raise her like a pig.
Gu Yan looked at his angry sister and his smile deepened. His sister showed more and more little expressions in front of him. Does this mean that their relationship is getting closer?
Although there seemed to be a lot of people, there were a few people helping in front of the meat counter, and it wasn't long before it was the turn of the Gu siblings.
After some discussion, the two finally decided to order two pounds of blunt-edged pork with a mellow taste, a fat pig's trotter and two huge pig bones.
As we all know, hooves are not very popular among the public because they contain more bones.
However, surprisingly, Gu Qingzhi not only picked a big pig's trotter, but even picked a pig's trotter that was almost entirely made of bones!
This abnormal and unique behavior caused people around her who were queuing to buy meat to look at her strangely. Everyone was full of confusion and curiosity about her behavior.
In the country of Da Qi, mutton was believed to have the effect of nourishing yin and strengthening yang, and was regarded as an ingredient with medicinal value.
At the same time, its good taste and diverse cooking methods have increased its popularity.
Cattle were considered important farming tools, so people would not slaughter them at will, which resulted in beef not being a common food. In addition, the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty explicitly prohibited the slaughter of cattle, which further promoted the consumption of mutton.
Therefore, senior officials have a special fondness for mutton.
Lamb has become a luxury in the current market and is extremely expensive.
Beef is slightly inferior and ranks second;
In comparison, although pork is relatively cheap, it is still unaffordable for ordinary families.
Even tasting meat once in a while is a luxury for most ordinary people.
It is not easy for ordinary people to have a full meal of meat, let alone spend lavishly like Gu Qingzhi did today.
Everyone saw her buying a large amount of meat and bones, and considering her dress, speech and behavior, they couldn't help but wonder where in the world this young lady came from.
If he was not born into a wealthy family, how could he be so capricious in choosing meat?
"Young man, young lady, here is a total of two hundred coins!" Seeing that Gu Qingzhi was so generous and bought so much meat at once, Butcher Ding was very happy, so he took the initiative to give them a piece of fresh pork liver as an extra gift.
All these things only cost 200 coins. Gu Qingzhi took out his purse with satisfaction, counted out 200 coins and handed it to Ding the Butcher.
Gu Yan took the meat and bones packed by Butcher Ding and put them into the backpack behind him.
Today’s harvest was really good. I bought all the meat my sister wanted to eat.
Gu Yan then took Gu Qingzhi's hand and walked towards the East City Gate.
On the way out of the East City Gate, they passed by the clinic they had visited a few days ago.
