Dress like a farmer

As twilight deepened, the crowd dispersed, and the door of Chen's house became quiet again.

Everyone in the Chen family sat at the table, looking at the copper coins poured out of the money box, they could hear the clattering sound, it was the sound of money.

Heaped up like a high hill.

After counting so many times, only today is the highest pile of money on this hill.

Snowskin mooncakes cost ten cents each. Those who wanted to buy them had enough money in their pockets to pay on the spot, and those who didn’t have enough money ran home to get the money.

In addition to the ten children of Shen's family, there are three people from neighboring villages and two people from this village, making a total of 15 people.

A full one or two taels of silver, plus the profit from the stall today, roughly [-] cash is definitely worth it.

"Count, I'll count the first time first." Old man Chen swallowed nervously, his hands trembling slightly, it's so much money.

Father Chen was quite calm: "I'll count for the second time."

"I'll count to the third time." Chen Yuanqiu raised his hand.

Chen Yuping said: "I don't have to count the money if my father, father, and brother count the money. I'll go into the kitchen to have a look. I'll make a lot of snowy mooncakes tomorrow, so I have to prepare them in advance."

"Okay, I'll help you when I'm done here." Old man Chen agreed.

Chen Yuanqiu answered: "I'll help third brother too." After eating third brother's cakes for a few months, it's all money, so I feel embarrassed.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were a few days of good sunshine.

Father Chen thought about ordering vegetables to dry in the sun. There is nothing to eat in winter, so he took them out for a change.

There is old salt water at home, Chen Yuping thought about drying some old altar sauerkraut and stewed fish for an appetizer.

The things in the stove house are trivial and numerous, and I am busy every day, and I don't feel very tired after I become a habit.

Get up early to steam steamed buns, Zhangluo braised pork and braised pig’s trotters. With these three things, breakfast is much simpler. Sometimes it’s noodles, sometimes steamed buns, and occasionally cook some porridge, or just eat steamed buns with shrimp paste when you’re lazy. I will make some more laborious ones, such as crispy meat pies, leek egg pancakes, dumplings or wontons, etc.

Braised pork and braised pig's trotters take time, but fortunately they don't have to stay in front of the stove all the time.

There is a cow in the family, and the stewed pig intestines should also be spread out.

Chen Yuping wants to dry dried vegetables and sauerkraut recently, and Chen Yuping thinks about putting it off for a few days until he is busy with chores in the house.

Chen Yuanqiu and Chen Yuandong brothers would go to the mountains to cut bamboo when they had free time, dragged them home to cut bamboo sticks, and saved a large bundle at home. When the sun was good, they would be boiled and sterilized in a pot first, and then left in the sun for a whole day.

When he went to the town to buy pig intestines, Chen Yuping bought several hundred aniseed ingredients. The previous two hundred aniseed ingredients had been used up and there was not much left.

This time when he bought the aniseed ingredients, he didn’t avoid his father, and Chen’s father didn’t say anything when he looked at them. After all these days, he knew that his third son’s food was delicious, and these aniseed ingredients were big. heroes.

"Just in case, don't buy in one shop, change to a few more shops." Father Chen also reminded his son in a low voice: "Our family's business is very prosperous, and I haven't seen anyone buy it in my own house. Setting up a stall here will allow people to come and go, and I'm afraid that someone will have bad thoughts."

Chen Yuping had been on guard for a long time. Hearing what Dad said, he nodded obediently: "Fortunately, Dad reminded me."

"You are still young, and you have experienced few things. You must be defensive."

It is convenient to have a bullock cart at home. This cow is young and walks not slowly. It only takes half an hour to go back and forth from the village to the town, which is much faster than walking.

Chen Yuanqiu and Chen Yuandong brothers went to the mountains to fetch fish cages, and they would set up an ox cart, and after taking the fish cages, they could bring back several bundles of firewood, and two bamboos, so they could kill three birds with one stone.

The villagers and neighbors in the village were also very excited when the Chen family bought the cattle, which means that braised pig intestines will be sold at the stall soon.

Waiting and waiting, looking forward and looking forward, the neck stretched a little bit, finally Zhunxin came, and on August 22, the stalls began to sell braised pig intestines.

A string of stewed pig intestines for a penny is much more affordable than stewed pork trotters with braised pork. It is not only spicy and refreshing, but also has a lot of portions, enough for two or three mouthfuls. A string of pennies is a great value!

Chen Yuping wasn't worried about the braised pig intestines business at all. When he went to the town to buy pig intestines yesterday, he took as many as there were in the town.

The father and son cleaned up the pig intestines, and Chen Yuanqiu was also helping at the side. The three of them worked for a full two hours before packing them out.

If it weren't for the cheapness of pig intestines, I wouldn't want to sell them for a penny a bunch at all. It's really troublesome to clean, and when counting the money, I feel so crooked, hahahahaha, painful and happy.

"There are stewed pig intestines for sale at Erbo's stall? I smelled the aroma from a long distance away, so give me two skewers."

He is the eldest son of the third younger brother's family. Father Chen knew this nephew well, and kindly reminded him: "Braised pig intestines have a strong taste and are spicy, so you should take it easy if you have a weak stomach."

"Second uncle is not for me to eat, brother Qing wants to eat."

Shunzi got married at the beginning of this year, and Brother Qing is his Alang, who will be pregnant for three months.

Chen Yuping also knew that his cousin was going to be a father: "Brother Shun puts big ingredients in the stewed pig intestines, it's okay to satisfy your cravings, but you can't eat more when you're pregnant."

"What else?" Shunzi scratched her forehead, a little confused.

"You can go to Shen's house and ask Dr. Shen."

Dr. Shen in Shen's house is really capable, better than the doctors in many medical clinics in the town. Folks in the surrounding villages like to go to Shen's house when they are sick. It is more expensive than the medical clinic in the town. But the effect is fast, one dose of medicine for minor ailments, and three doses of medicine for more serious diseases, and I have never seen a time when I missed it.

In other words, the children of the Shen family are rich, and in the entire Shen family, there are those who can do business, some who can study, can make wine, and have medical skills, etc. Anyway, they are more capable than ordinary people.

Shunzi is the owner of the business today. Not long after he left, several waves of people came here one after another. They all heard that there were braised pork intestines to buy, and they came here specially to buy braised pork intestines.

I bought a lot of steamed buns with shrimp paste, followed by five-spice tea eggs, braised pork and braised pig's trotters were left out in the cold.

"It's still a penny for a penny that sells quickly." When there was no one in front of the stall, Mr. Chen glanced at the money box, and smiled so that thin lines of laughter formed at the corners of his eyes: "It's just a shallow layer."

Liu Guixiang smiled and said, "It's going to sell fast, buy it early and close the stall early, and you can go to visit and talk, Dad hasn't gone out for a long time."

"Indeed, this stall is stumbling, and I am not tired."

The two of them talked and came again.

One morning passed, the braised pork intestines were sold out, the steamed buns with shrimp paste were also sold out, there were still a few spiced tea eggs left, the braised pork and braised pig's trotters sold out slowly, but the portions were small, and they were successfully sold out.

There was a strong smell of rice in the village, and when it was about to have lunch, someone came in a hurry.

"Is there any braised pork intestines? I want to buy twenty skewers."

"No more, there are only six spiced tea eggs left." Father Chen came out to greet him. He recognized this person. There is a village called Pingyuan Village under Kuzhu Village. There is a small gambling house in the village, and there are often gambling houses. The people in the village came to buy food, and there was a commotion in front of them. Several people smelled of alcohol and seemed to have drunk too much. They were playing tricks in front of the stall and wanted to eat free food without paying for it. He caught it right away, paid the money and ran away in despair.

"It's gone so soon?"

"No more." Father Chen didn't bother to talk to these gamblers.

"Is there any more in the afternoon?"

"No."

"You are open for business, why don't you do more?"

"There are only spiced tea eggs left, do you want to buy them?" Father Chen was a little impatient.

The gambler probably noticed it, hesitated and said, "Okay, give me all the eggs." After paying the money and taking the eggs, he could only hear him muttering dissatisfiedly: "I managed to earn some money, but I didn't It's really bad luck to buy braised pig intestines, I'm sorry!"

Chen Yuping, who came out, happened to see this man spitting on the ground, and frowned: "Father, there is no gambling house in town?"

"Take care, it's just that the management is not strict. When the official sent over, they got the letter and cleaned up."

"Don't look at him living unrestrainedly, the family is miserable, relying on a brother to support the family, there is an old mother and two children, and others can't take care of him. Such a person should not Get married. Speaking of which, Ershanzi and Shuwa in our village are pretty good, at least they don’t gamble and don’t harm the widow’s family. They just pick up the weak and poor people and bully them. , if we let them succeed once, it will be endless in the future."

Father Chen said with a solemn face: "Brother Ping, you must not show good looks when you meet this group of gamblers in the future."

"Don't worry, Father."

Hahahahahaha
