Back to 90s

For Zhu Yunxuan, Li Rui's sudden appearance did not bring any changes to his life. However, Jiang Yuexiu, who hurried over with a meal that day and found that only her son was there, talked about how many times she paid the medical expenses in advance. The child's parents did not leave a single question.

Zhu Yunxuan comforted his mother, but he also knew that Li Rui's parents left so quickly was definitely because of him. If he didn't poke every word into other people's hearts, they probably wouldn't be so rude.

A big knife shaped like an ax divides the slaughtered pig into two halves, and each half is divided into three parts: front legs, ribs, and hind legs.

When Zhu Yunxuan was carrying a thermos bottle of boiling water that cost five cents, Zhu Ada was already cutting off the ribs on his front legs with a knife.

"Grandpa, the water is ready!" After Li Rui left, Zhu Yunxuan quickly persuaded his grandfather to let him help in the town. In fact, he was only six years old and couldn't do much, but his grandfather liked him and was willing to borrow Let him give him some pocket money in the name of helping, so he started to follow his father to the town every morning when it was still daylight.

Zhu Ada sells meat in the vegetable market, Zhu Chengcai repairs bicycles and motorcycles outside the vegetable market, and Zhu Yunxuan runs around to help with odd jobs.

However, in comparison, he still spends a lot of time with Zhu Ada. At this time, there is no electronic scale. When Zhu Ada weighs the weight and calculates the price, he will occasionally make a mistake. If he can't calculate it, he will be removed A fraction, it's much better to have him by my side.

"Xuanxuan, are you tired?" Zhu Ada wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck, then looked down at his grandson.

"Not tired!" Zhu Yunxuan got under the butcher's counter, stood inside and opened his mouth. He was small and could only get under there, but those adults turned over from above.

"It's good if you don't get tired." Zhu Ada removed the pig's trotters, cut off the bloody meat around the front legs, and removed the bones inside. Then, a square piece of front leg called sandwich meat The meat is processed, and when someone wants to buy foreleg meat, just cut it a little bit.

The rib meat in the middle, Zhu Ada did not rush to deal with it, but instead processed the pork hind legs, because this rib meat, if you worship the ancestors, you have to cut two pieces directly. Restaurants like ribs and big ribs, and fast food restaurants want pork belly. It is necessary to deal with it according to the needs of customers.

Zhu Yunxuan filled the glass bottle that grandpa used to drink water to cool it down, and then got out again. Just now he seemed to see someone shopping for a wedding. He was still buying vegetables at this time, and he must be buying later. Meat!

When holding weddings in the countryside, people would find someone to go to the street to buy vegetables with big bags that used to hold feed or chemical fertilizers. At this moment, the two young people bought leeks with a big bag with the word "urea" written on it. , Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help secretly laughing - when he was young, his father told him that urea was made from urine. Later, he learned chemistry and knew it was wrong, but he still remembered this explanation.

Seeing that the other party had bought it, he immediately stepped forward to strike up a conversation. Sure enough, within a few words, the two people who obviously came from the countryside were led to Zhu Ada's booth.

In the past, all the butchers in the town were from the town. In recent years, some country people have also rented stalls to sell meat, but there were not many of them. The two people who bought vegetables were from the countryside, and they didn’t know each other. People who sell butcher are naturally willing to buy things from Zhu Ada.

Zhu Ada always sells meat cheaper than others, so he can sell out the meat earlier and go home to rest—his physical strength is not as good as that of young people after all.

The country people around Wende Town will treat guests with pork belly cut into squares to the size of an adult's palm, and then wrapped in rice dumpling leaves and braised in soy sauce. It is fragrant and delicious when served. He cut the pieces into pieces, tied them with straw, and yelled, "Is there any pork liver?" Many people brought over the pork liver. He bought it for the two of them, and finally got some lean meat. A lot is missing.

Zhu Ada was very happy. He liked his grandson in the first place, and now his grandson came to help every day. In the past, when someone wanted to buy a lot of things like pork kidneys at the other end, he couldn't send the kidneys in time, but Zhu Yunxuan was different. He moved quickly and could always squeeze to the front. Those who wanted to buy something saw that it was a child, and they were willing to buy the one he was holding.In this way, Zhu Ada, who used to have to sell out the meat at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, can now often catch up and go home for lunch!

"Xuanxuan, go buy some steamed buns." Zhu Ada was happy, so he gave Zhu Yunxuan one yuan. Zhu Yunxuan likes to eat steamed buns. At this time, two cents each is quite big, and one yuan can make him The belly is round after eating.

"Thank you, grandpa!" Zhu Yunxuan put the money in his arms and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

It's still early, he's not hungry after eating porridge at home, so he has to wait until later to buy buns if he really wants to eat them. He saw that Zhu Ada had already sat down to rest, so he started to tidy up the buns soaked in the water pig into the water.

Pork loin, pork belly, pig heart, pig large intestine, pig small intestine, etc. are now connected to what is called "water and oil" in the pig's belly, and water and oil, in the final analysis, grow together with the intestines fat layer.

The pork loin has to be dug out from the fat, and other things have to be washed and separated one by one. The water and oil, pig intestines and pig intestines have to be tied with straw and hung up before anyone will buy them...

When he was in junior high school in his previous life, Zhu Yunxuan’s pocket money was reduced because Zhu Chengcai wanted to build a house. But at that time, he also liked to buy nice clothes or go out to eat some vermicelli pot with his classmates, so he started giving Zhu Yunxuan Ah Da helps to get pocket money.

At that time, he fetched water for Zhu Ada to buy breakfast, helped him put the cut meat in plastic bags and weighed it, and did some chores, but he refused to touch it for the "wage" of ten yuan every morning. Pig into the water.

But now that everything is over again, he is not so delicate anymore. What hasn't he done to make money after breaking up with his family?What is a mere pig into the water?At worst, go back and take a shower!

"Xuanxuan is so good!" Zhu A laughed so hard that he narrowed his eyes. He is a very kind person, and he likes to praise his grandchildren the most. Zhu Yunxuan has heard him say that he is smart and that Zhu Qiuyue is beautiful every day since he was a child, and he has long been used to it. up.

However, when Zhu Ada praised him in the past, few people answered, but now, the people at the meat stall next to Zhu Ada agreed. Nowadays, the children are all only children, and they dislike the bad smell of the vegetable market. There are many people who are willing to come in, like Zhu Yunxuan who comes to help early every day or really helps, but there are almost no people who want to buy this or that.

Hearing those people's compliments, Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help but blush. I have to say that in his previous life, he also hated the bad smell of the vegetable market, and he hated the fact that there was water all the year round in the vegetable market, which would stain his shoes if he was not careful. It was in [-] that the entire vegetable farm was rebuilt, and he was willing to come in.

Everything was hung on iron hooks, and it was seven o'clock. At this time, those scattered customers came to buy vegetables.

At this time, although there was a slaughterhouse in the town, many people, such as Zhu Ada, went to the countryside to kill pigs and sell them by themselves. Like some people, I will deliberately lower some prices. When I sell meat, it is not expensive, and I don’t make much money, but there are many customers.

Zhu Yunxuan moved a stool, greeted his guests in a decent manner, and also helped him pack the cut meat into bags, and then calculated the price, which also saved some customers from waiting to go elsewhere.

This busy work lasted until after nine o’clock, the sun outside was brighter, and there were fewer people who came to buy vegetables to get up so early to work. Zhu Ada got up to kill pigs in the middle of the night to make the pork fresh, and he was already tired by now. It was very good, the porridge brought for him in the morning had already been digested, and he took five yuan to Zhu Yunxuan immediately: "Xuanxuan, help grandpa buy some buns, and I will give you the extra."

"Grandpa! Five yuan." Zhu Yunxuan was a little surprised. In the past, Zhu Ada would give him one yuan for breakfast and two yuan for pocket money, but this time he had already given him one yuan, five yuan. There are still four yuan left after buying the buns!

"Xuanxuan, don't you want a water gun? Go and buy one." Zhua said with a big smile.

water gun?Did you mention it before?Zhu Yunxuan did not refuse, and left the market with five yuan.

Five small steamed buns cost one yuan, and three big buns cost one yuan. Zhu Ada always felt that the big buns were more affordable. Every time Zhu Yunxuan asked him to buy them, he would buy three big meat buns.

The steamed stuffed bun shop is on the side of the road outside the vegetable market

, Many people coming and going will buy buns to eat, and if they are free, they will ask for a bowl of soy milk or small wontons to sit down and eat.Zhu Yunxuan took a look at the steamed stuffed bun shop which was no longer lively in the morning, thought about it, and bought four meat buns and two pickled vegetable buns for two yuan.

"Aren't you the kid who sells the meat?" The middle-aged woman who sold the buns packed the buns and asked with a smile.

"Auntie, do you know me?" Zhu Yunxuan smiled at the other party, and made full use of every opportunity: "Auntie, where did you buy the meat?"

"I'll buy from whichever is cheaper." The woman laughed. She usually buys meat at noon.

"Auntie, my grandpa sells meat very cheaply. If you keep buying from my grandpa, it will be cheaper for you!" If you have a few such long-term big customers, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to run out of meat!and……

"You know how to start a business when you're so young?" Ada no longer has pork belly suitable for making steamed buns.

"Auntie, you come late every day to buy meat, and you can't find good meat. Look, you have been buying meat with my grandpa. How nice it is for me to bring the meat to you! It won't delay your morning sale of buns!" Zhu Yun Xuan could also see that the other party's heart was moving.

In fact, Zhu Ada also has several long-term customers. A canteen has been buying meat from Zhu Ada. However, this bun is spread outside the vegetable market. Many parents who send their children to school will also bring their children to eat. The amount of meat needed every day Not a lot!

"That's good, but I need a lot of meat every day, and your grandfather sold out the meat so early every day..."

"Auntie, since we're all in business, there will definitely be meat you want!" Zhu Yunxuan immediately spoke, remembering Zhu Qiuyue who will be going to kindergarten in the countryside in the second half of the year.

"Then go and talk to your grandpa." The middle-aged woman said, it would be great if someone delivered the meat every day.

Zhu Yunxuan got the approval letter, and immediately left happily. He knew that Zhu Chengcai also ate breakfast early, and he couldn't bear the porridge, so he left a vegetable bun and a meat bun for him, ate a vegetable bun, and then I went to Zhu Ada's stall and told what happened just now.

"Smelly boy, your grandfather is tired enough to kill one pig a day, how can he kill one more? If you only kill one pig, selling the meat to her cheaply is better than selling it to those who come to buy vegetables. You can also have more." Zhu Ada still likes Zhu Yunxuan's idea for himself, but he is not young, selling one pig a day is the limit, if it is not for the hot weather and no refrigerator at home, he used to He wouldn't wait until two or three o'clock in the afternoon to go home. He just said that at this moment, it was only after nine o'clock in the morning, and he was so tired that he wanted to sleep.

still in winter

When the weather is good, you don't have to get up at twelve o'clock in the evening to kill the pigs, but you can kill the pigs in the afternoon and sell them the next day, and you don't have to worry about the meat going bad.

"Grandpa, let your uncle come to sell meat too!" Zhu Yunxuan said quickly, his uncle is doing farm work at home now, and occasionally does small work when others are building houses. I don't have pocket money to spend, but if my uncle comes to sell meat at this time...

Zhu Yunxuan remembers very clearly that his uncle Zhu Chenggong will follow his grandfather to sell meat after seven or eight years. He is young and not afraid of hardship. After selling for two years, he is better than his grandfather. The life of the uncle's family It also improved a lot, and in the end it was even better than his family.Now that he is reborn, of course he doesn't mind letting his uncle come to sell meat earlier, it's better than him helping people move bricks for only ten yuan a day, and in this way, Zhu Qiuyue's life will be much better, right?In addition, Zhu Dongyue will be born by her aunt in the next two years, right?He still remembered that at that time, the uncle had no money in his hand, and he even borrowed money from his grandfather for the birth of the child, but the grandmother was still on the sidelines, feeling disgusted and disgusted, and the aunt gave birth to a daughter and refused to help. , Zhu Qiuyue was left behind, crying alone for a whole day before being taken to the hospital by her grandma.

Cousin... Zhu Yunxuan suddenly felt that he couldn't help but want to treat his cousin like a daughter.
