my home is in the northeast

24. Buy a car

"Of course. They make money by selling pork, but we rely on craftsmanship. The nature is different, and the technology content is relatively high." Zhang Yuhe said triumphantly.

Seeing her younger brother's proud appearance, Zhang Yuwei burst out laughing.

"Third Sister, seeing how much money we make, what should we buy to go back?" Zhang Yuhe hasn't been to the county town for five years since he left home, and he feels a little itchy in his heart.

"It seems that parents don't need anything." Zhang Yuwei lowered her head and thought for a while.Both parents have new clothes, my younger brother brought them back from the capital, and I also have a gold necklace, so there is really nothing missing. "Otherwise we don't waste money, and we have to buy pork and chicken."

"How about we go to the market and look for it? See what can be put in the stewed soup?" Zhang Yuhe pondered for a while, "And we used all the eggs at home yesterday, so we have to buy some, and they all use stupid eggs. Sorry, we mainly eat lo-mei, so let’s just buy some ordinary eggs. Stupid eggs are considered high-end products.”

"to make."

After discussing it, the siblings parked the car in the largest wholesale market in the county.

It usually closes at five o'clock, and it was already past four o'clock when they arrived, so there was not much time and there were not many people.

The siblings discussed it and decided to split up. Anyway, everyone has a mobile phone, so it is very convenient to contact.

Zhang Yuhe chose a road and turned around. This is indoors. It is a hundred meters long from one end to the other. It is the largest food wholesale market in the county.However, most of the purchases here are canteens and restaurants of major factories, and there are very few private ones.Because the price here is very cheap, but they are all sold at a few kilograms.

For example, potatoes, at least one sack, this bag weighs about a hundred catties, which is beyond the reach of ordinary families.The rural families who can save it have already saved a large amount during the harvest, and they will not come here to buy.

But this is a reminder to Zhang Yuhe that potatoes can also be stewed!Cut into thick slices, marinate until it is just cooked, and then take it out, so as to maintain a little crispness and taste.

In addition, there are kelp, dried tofu, lotus root slices, etc., as well as shiitake mushrooms.Naturally, the dried wild game picked from the mountains at home is reluctant to marinate, but these artificially cultivated shiitake mushrooms are not expensive ingredients.

After Zhang Yuhe figured it out, he went shopping frantically in the market. He didn't let go of everything he saw and what he could do.Although most of them are sold starting at a few kilograms, sometimes several dishes belong to the same family, and they even offered to lend him a small cart so that he can easily drag it out.

I happened to meet Zhang Yuwei on the way, Zhang Yuhe told her not to go shopping anymore, and just looked at the things she bought in the car.

Zhang Yuwei watched her younger brother pull out things one after another, and hurried down, "Yu Baoer, have you bought so many things to eat?"

"Although there are a lot of things, they won't last for a few days." Zhang Yuhe had calculated in his heart that if someone buys it, it's really nothing. If no one buys it, it can be stored in the cellar for a while.

Zhang Yuhe's last trip was to buy a box of eggs. A man dragged the cart to pull the eggs, and there were more than a dozen bundled chickens on it.

"Thank you, brother." The previous car has been returned, and the latter one belongs to the stall owner who sells eggs.Because there were a lot of things to buy, the stall owner also helped to deliver them.

"You're welcome, brother, come to my house next time."

"That must be done." Zhang Yuhe got into the car, and the gate of the trading market was also closed.It's five o'clock.

"The time is just right." Zhang Yuwei said with a smile, "Tomorrow's chicken is also available, and there is no pork at home. Dad should go tell He Laoliu this afternoon, right?"

"For sure, our father never needs us to do things." Zhang Yuhe kicked the accelerator and started on the road.

"Are you still going to Eldest Sister's house?" Zhang Yuwei looked at her phone, "It's time for dinner at her house, why don't we go, her mother-in-law has a lot to do."

"It's fine, I didn't buy any gifts today, so I'll bring some sauced meat another day." Zhang Yuhe nodded and took the fork in the village.

The courtyards in rural areas are very large, and so are the doors.Mainly during the autumn harvest, the corn and soybeans at home are all dried in the yard.Not only is there a front yard, but the back yard is also quite spacious.

Some families have many children, and houses are built in the backyard. Although the Zhang family has many children, they are all girls, and they all go out.Now there are only two children in the family, Zhang Yuwei and Zhang Yuhe, and the house is enough to live in.Seeing Zhang Changgui's behavior, he didn't intend to let the old girl find a son-in-law who stepped in, and the house probably won't be refurbished in a short time.

The siblings here drove home, and Zhang Changgui did not meet the expectations of Zhang's siblings in the afternoon, and he went to find He Laoliu and asked him to kill a pig.There are still six pigs in He Laoliu's family that can be slaughtered now, and they have all been sold to Zhang Changgui, and we are waiting for when he wants them and when they will be weighed, so they are still actively feeding them these days.

There is only one son in He Laoliu's family, who is Zhang Yuhe's classmate, and now the son inherits his father's career.When Zhang Changgui came looking for him in the afternoon, the two of them happened to be at home.

The weight of the remaining six pigs in the family is not small, about 250 catties or more, and the one killed this afternoon weighs [-] catties.

According to the agreement of the two families, either buy the meat directly, or buy the whole pig, and the He family father and son will help kill it.

Of the two, the meat in front is more expensive, but what you get is clean meat and ribs.Pig heads, pig feet, pig tails, pig offal, etc. are not included.These things are also sold at the butcher's house, and they don't have to worry about selling them. Some people like to eat these things.Their family has been doing this business for several generations, and the craftsmanship is good, so it is not troublesome to deal with.

Although the latter is more troublesome, the He family said that they can help clean up with some money. The key is that the price of meat is also cheaper.

In general, each has its own advantages.

In the past, pork liver, pig heart, pig intestines and so on were also good things. After they were packed and stewed, they were also very fragrant, especially for meals.And these things are not cheap, some are more expensive than meat.

But Zhang Changgui thought about it, now the family has prepared two stewed meat and sauced chicken, if there are too many fishes, they have to make a separate pot, these things are not easy to marinate with meat.The two tin buckets at home were occupied, so I had to give up temporarily.

After a pig was slaughtered, its head and water were removed, there was still more than 180 catties left. He Laoliu's son helped to chop off the ribs and cut them into small pieces, and then helped to send the two pieces of meat to Zhang's family.

The meat at home was almost eaten, and only the pork ribs that were picked out from the pork that I bought before were left, and Sun Cuifang simply stewed them.There are quite a lot of these ribs, and the cauldron is full after only one third of the stewing.

Sun Cuifang was afraid she would get tired of eating, so she cooked some more vegetarian dishes and steamed a big pot of rice.

As a result, seeing that the ribs were cooked and the vegetables were cooked, none of them came back.

Just as he opened the door and said he wanted to take a look, he saw He Laoliu's son driving the electric three-wheeler to help deliver the meat, "He Tian, ​​where is your uncle Zhang?"

"The back, let me come first. Where's Yu Baoer?" He Laoliu's son, He Tian, ​​and Zhang Yuhe were high school classmates, but He Tian stopped going to school after graduating from high school, and followed his father to butcher pigs and sell meat.Although Zhang Yuhe was admitted to a good school, he didn't finish it.

"Yu Bao'er went to the county seat, she should be back soon." Sun Cuifang muttered.Just as he was talking, a Changhe micro card drove over from a distance, and stopped at the door of Zhang's house.

"Xiao Tian, ​​why are you here?"

"Yu Bao'er? You kid, you haven't come to see me for several days. If my father didn't see you, I wouldn't even know you were back."

He Tianren looks gentle, he doesn't look like a pig butcher, but Zhang Yuhe heard from Zhang Changgui that He Tian is quite talented in this line of work, especially when he looks gentle.

Zhang Yuhe hurriedly joined hands with He Tian and put the two pieces of pork in the east wing.

"Is this a new car?" He Tiancai didn't hesitate to ask after finishing his work. "Okay, you boy, just get in the car when you come up!"

"It's worthless to buy a second-hand car, or else it would be a lot of money to buy an electric three-wheeler." Zhang Yuhe said, "Let's eat at my house tonight, let's drink."

"No, no, I know you're busy, so go find me another day when you're not busy. My dad is famous for making pork chops."

"Okay." Zhang Yuhe waved his hand to bid farewell to He Tian.
