Then there is no more

Although Ms. Mao's eyes lit up when she saw dried vegetables and spicy radish strips, it was only because of an aura called "childhood memories" shining on these two things.If they taste bad, Ms. Mao will definitely put these two kinds of food aside when the halo of childhood memories is shattered.

Anyway, the son is still young, and this thing is not honored by her real daughter-in-law, so it won't be a pity to throw it aside.

But Bian Jingyu did things safely, so why would she send something that was not tasty?These dried vegetables and spicy radishes are all made by Mao Chunmei.Mao Chunmei loves to be clean, and she works neatly.So the dried vegetables and spicy radishes she cooks are also clean, unlike some people's homes, either the vegetables are not washed clean, or they are stained with dust on the ground when they are drying.And Mao Chunmei's craftsmanship is really good, her pickled spicy radish is very crispy and delicious!

Most importantly, Mao Chunmei and Mao Anni came from the same village.Women in different villages have slightly different ways of making spicy radish.What Mao Chunmei makes is the most authentic flavor that Mao Anni remembers.Mao Anni couldn't wait for dinner, so she took one with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.A second later, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she said, "That's right! That's the taste!"

I wanted to take a bite to satisfy my hunger, but I couldn't stop after taking a bite.

The dried vegetables were sent to the kitchen, and in the evening, there was an extra dish of pork belly with dried vegetables on their table.The dried vegetables neutralized the greasyness of the meat, and Mao Anni insisted on eating one more bowl of rice than usual.Shen Chengan has lived abroad for many years, and his diet has been somewhat affected, but he is also full of praise for a dish made with smoked chicken.They discussed with Shen Yi, and finally decided to keep the smoked chicken and duck, and send the smoked pork legs to Mr. Shen.

Within two days, Shen Chengan received a call from Mr. Shen, asking him where he got the smoked pork leg and if he could get some more.

"Dad, isn't such a big pork leg enough for you to eat?" Shen Chengan asked.

Mr. Shen said with a smile: "Where is it that I eat it myself, I want to get some more for your uncles to taste."

The Shen family is not prosperous, so the uncles mentioned by Mr. Shen are naturally not the Shen family, but his friends.Several of them can really be called high positions and weights.Anyone who has understood the history before the founding of the People's Republic of China should know that many of the high-ranking officials after the founding of the People's Republic of China were born with mud legs.Eating habits are mostly developed at an early age, and it is not so easy to change. They like to drink in big bowls and eat meat in big mouthfuls.

Anyway, they are all good friends, who doesn't know who in private, it is really true to give a pork leg during the Chinese New Year!

These days, if urbanites have no connections, it is really hard to buy meat.Because you need a ticket to buy meat, and the ticket is based on the hair of the person.On the contrary, people in the countryside, because the policy is gradually relaxed, can raise some chickens and ducks in private, and if they are brave enough, they can raise a pig, have food for themselves, and can quietly sell some without a ticket.Of course, the Shen family must have a way to get meat, but doesn't Mr. Shen just think that the smoked pork leg sent by the Bian family is good to eat!He just thought, if smoked pork leg is still available, this year's gift list will be added to it.

Shen Chengan was not perfunctory, and told the truth, and said: "Then let me ask the baby for you, the fact that you have such a stutter is entirely because of the baby's favor. He made a pen pal, and he guarded it like a sweetheart." , I sent a lot of things to that pen pal before, and the pork leg was sent there."

"It can be seen that there are real people there..." Mr. Shen praised sincerely, "Then you can ask Guanying to ask, if there are still over there, we are not in vain. The money that should be given is all Yes. It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone is busy with a lot of things."

Shen Chengan responded to these words, and then assigned a task to Shen Yi.

Due to time constraints, it must be too late to write a letter, so Shen Yi called the school.In fact, it's winter vacation now, but fortunately there is someone on duty in the school, so he quickly called Principal Bian.Principal Bian has heard about Shen Yi, and knows that he is Bian Jingyu's pen pal, and his family background should be good.Shen Yi must have come to look for Bian Jingyu. Principal Bian strolled to the tailor shop and told Bian Jingyu to answer the phone quickly.

It took half a day to go back and forth, and it was really not easy for the couple to connect.

Shen Yi told about Mr. Shen, and said: "Pork legs are very difficult to deal with. If you think it's troublesome, then forget about it. I'll send my old man away later." If it's not troublesome, then For the Bian family, this incident was an opportunity to make some money.

"Don't worry, there are hundreds of villages under our town, there must be quite a few people who raise pigs, how many pig legs can't get together?" Bian Jingyu said calmly, "They all have to be smoked, right? In addition to smoked pork leg, do you want smoked chicken and smoked duck?" The business of delivering it to your door is not for nothing.

Years ago was the peak period of pig slaughtering, and smoking is a traditional method used to preserve pork here, so smoked pork legs are not too difficult to buy.Of course, it won't be easy to buy. The Bian family has to spend some favors and go to various villages to run errands, which is a bit tiring.

Shen Yi calculated in her heart, and said: "Pork legs...you get twenty pieces first. Double the amount of smoked chicken and smoked duck. By the way, let's also get some dried vegetables and spicy radishes, my mother loves them." A can of spicy radishes is a lot of weight, Mao Anni can't live without it for three meals a day, and finished a can in two days.

"Okay!" Bian Jingyu answered simply.

The two were silent for a while at the same time, so quiet that they seemed to be able to catch the sound of each other's breathing through the phone line.

Bian Jingyu suddenly asked: "What about you?"

"What about me?" Shen Yi was a little puzzled when asked.

Bian Jingyu laughed softly, as if mocking Shen Yi for asking a silly question, and said, "Is there anything you want to eat?" After saying that, he began to report more delicious food in Baoping Town.They are indeed poor here, but there are many things in the mountains that people in big cities cannot eat, such as the honey hawthorn made from the freshest hawthorn.Most parents think that honey hawthorn is too sugary. In fact, they don’t make much at home, but the taste is really good.Oh, they are also rich in chestnuts and small walnuts.If Shen Yi likes to eat, Jingyu over there will send it to Shen Yi.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yi squatted in front of the phone with her hands in her hands, laughing foolishly at the phone.

While Shen Chengan felt that his son was really stupid, at the same time he felt that the expression on his son's face looked familiar.When he opened the big wardrobe before taking a shower, and saw the row of drawers in the middle of the closet containing cufflinks, tie clips and other accessories, he finally remembered that the expression on Shen Yi's face was almost the same as the last time he tried the tie clips in the mirror. His expression was exactly the same.And that tie clip was a gift Mao Anni brought him when she came back from other places.

When Bian Jingyu returned to the tailor shop, He Guihua was busy, and Bian Aiguo went to the countryside to help others with work.Since opening a shop in the town, more and more people are looking for patriotic jobs.Bian Aiguo used to only work for people in nearby villages of Zhishou Village. Occasionally, because someone from a certain village introduced him to a son-in-law in a distant village, he was able to find work farther away.But now he lives in the town with He Guihua. After a long time, everyone knows that the tailor He's husband also has good craftsmanship.

Bian Jingyu first talked to He Guihua about buying pork legs. He Guihua stepped on the sewing machine without raising her head and said, "There was a lot of business a year ago, and your father and I were too busy...how about Go home and discuss with your grandfather, let him find a way to help you in the village." Zhishou Village alone cannot make up twenty pig legs, but the village and the village are related by marriage, as long as the Bian family is together Yell, the news will spread quickly.

"That's fine, let's leave this matter to grandparents, they know a lot of people, and they can yell!" Bian Jingyu nodded and said, "Twenty pig legs are not a small business, and we certainly can't help the small business." Yi’s family posted money. Xiaoyi said to send us the money. I quoted the price according to the market price.”

"It's expensive." He Guihua said without hesitation, "Although we sell meat in private without tickets, the price should be higher, but it is dangerous to sell meat like this, and most people are not willing to buy a lot of meat. Eat, but the price should be cheaper. If you quote the market price to others, it must be expensive.” Ordinary people don’t know how to do business, but they just make some money secretly for survival, and the price is confused.

If this meat can be carried to the city, it is guaranteed to be much more expensive than the market price!

Bian Jingyu said with a smile: "Mom, the extra money is earned by our family."

"How can this be done! How can you take advantage of your friend?" He Guihua stopped her feet and looked up at Bian Jingyu.

Bian Jingyu analyzed He Guihua: "Mom, even if you follow the market price, it's much cheaper than buying meat in the city. They don't lose money. Since our family has helped them, we can earn some hard money from it." Fees are also due.” The pork leg sent to the capital last time was bought from a village [-] miles away from Zhishou Village, and Bian Aiguo personally went to that village to carry it back. Carry a pig leg Are you tired after walking thirty miles?If the [-] pig legs were carried back one by one this time, then the Bian family can earn some hard money from it, which is completely justified.

But He Guihua doesn't think so.In the eyes of her and her generation, labor is the least valuable thing, and carrying a pig's leg is nothing!

"Mom, is it possible that someone brought their own cloth and asked you to help make clothes, because the cloth is his own, so you don't charge money?" Bian Jingyu tried her best to help He Guihua change her mind, "How is it possible? You There is always money to be paid. Helping Xiaoyi’s family collect pig legs is also a reason, our family must have spent a lot of effort, and we should also charge money.” Their whole family is not busy for ten days and a half months, and there is no reason for it. I can't get what Shen Yi wants.

"But you and Xiaoyi are friends, and he treats you so well!" He Guihua said.

"His parents are very reasonable. If we don't charge for hard work, they will be embarrassed to trouble us in the future." Bian Jingyu said.

--------

That night, Bian Jingyu had a dream.

Mao Chunmei put one hand on her hips and pointed at Jiang Wangnan with the other, spouting saliva like a teapot, and said arrogantly: "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts! This home was built in my hands. You are ashamed to hold mine. Things to subsidize your mother's family? Is your face so thick?"

Cursing and cursing, the person who was scolded became Bian Jingyu herself, and the person who scolded also changed from Mao Chunmei to a woman with a vague face.The man pointed to Bian Jingyu's nose and said, "You are better. You hooked up with Yiniang at a young age, and coaxed Yiniang to fill your own home with things from my home."

Bian Jingyu woke up with fright.He sat up expressionlessly.Sure enough, it was reasonable for Meng's mother to relocate three times. He heard so many words from the country mother-in-law scolding his daughter-in-law that he accidentally had such a terrible dream!This dream was not only unreasonable, but also ruined the image of the respectable Ms. Mao.

"Shut up!" Bian Jingyu said to herself.My brain is so big that I really feel scared even myself.
