80 Group Favorite: Cannon Fodder Real Daughter Divorced to Become the Richest Man

Chapter 19 Buying Meat
Before going out today, Lan Shu had already inquired with her family, and she knew that the pork stall was under a big tree on the market street.

The market street is not long, and the distance from the street to the end of the street is only about a hundred meters. The two soon came to the pork stall.

At a glance, there are only half a fan of pork on the stall.

Although this is a half-monthly market in several nearby villages, because there are usually very few people buying meat, the butchers don't dare to buy too much.

"Pork is sold for [-] cents a catty~!"

The owner of the meat stall yelled, and people gathered around to pick and choose their desired position on the big fan of pork.

Fatty meat can produce oil. Pour the lard into a bowl and solidify it. Pick a little bit every time you stir-fry, and the dishes will be very fragrant~!

It is unrealistic for them to eat meat every meal, so bring some lard every meal, which is enough to satisfy their hunger, so fatty meat is the favorite of most people in the 80s.

People in rural areas, county towns, or even cities are all the same.

Lan Shu didn't ask for fat meat, she waited for the butcher stall owner to cut the meat for the meat buyers in front of them, and then Lan Shu pointed to the lean meat on the inside of the spine and said to the boss, "Tenderloin is five catties, pork belly Three catties, how much is the ribs?"

Hearing that someone wanted to buy eight catties of meat at once, the owner of the butcher's stall suddenly smiled, "The pork ribs cost two cents a catty, and if you want them, I'll give you fifteen cents."

so cheap!

In Lan Shu's era, the price of ribs was twice as expensive as meat!
But now everyone buys meat very tight and only buys a little bit at a time. Who would buy ribs that are full of bones and not much meat?

So the price of ribs is very low.

Lan Shu hasn't eaten braised pork ribs for a long time, and she feels sorry for herself if she doesn't buy more at this price.

"The pork ribs cost ten catties," she said.

"Okay~!" The owner of the meat stall immediately started to cut the meat according to her requirements, and cut off ten catties of ribs.

Other people around who were also planning to buy some meat, saw a little girl buying so much meat at a butcher stall, and even bought bones, many of them stared in surprise!
A few older aunts kindly reminded me.

"Girl, it's not good for you to buy so much lean meat. It's more delicious to eat meat!"

"That's right, there are still bones that are too heavy on the scale. It looks cheap, but in fact there are not many taels of meat removed, and they are all thin."

Although the person who persuaded her had good intentions, to Lan Shu, lean meat was a good thing.

She has already figured it out, the tenderloin is tender, and it can be eaten after marinating, sliced ​​and fried, or mixed with flour to make fried crispy meat.

Part of the ribs was stewed in soup, and part of it was left to braise in soy sauce. Thinking of the taste of braised pork ribs, she couldn't help drooling...

As for pork belly, which is fat and thin, it can be fried or chopped to make dumplings.

By the way, if it's steamed buns, three catties of pork belly is not enough. If her elder brother eats enough by himself, he can eat five or six big steamed stuffed buns in one meal!

Thinking of this, Lan Shu added another sentence to the owner of the meat stall, "Add another five catties for the pork belly."

The old aunts around who originally wanted to persuade her to buy fat meat stopped talking immediately after hearing this.

They can see that the little girl is rich and can afford to eat meat every day, and she doesn't care about the oil from the fat at all.

With Lan Shu as a 'big customer', most of the pork on the stall in front of the butcher stall owner went directly to a small half!

Thirteen catties of meat plus ten catties of pork ribs, a total of ten yuan and six cents, the boss took the initiative to erase the zero, and only charged ten yuan.

After calculating the price, Lan Shu directly took out a card from her pocket and handed it over.

Others saw that the little girl was so rich, and under her leadership, the people who bought meat later stopped searching and bought half a catty and a catty.

The owner of the meat stall was so happy to see his business become so good~!

Before Lan Shu left, he did not forget to greet her with the best attitude, "Little girl, go slowly, and come back at the market at the end of the month~"

...

When the two returned from the market at noon, they had already returned with a full load.

Fortunately, Xiaobai followed today. He has great strength and can help carry the meat.

Otherwise, Lan Shu would have no way to bring back so many things she bought by herself.

In addition to buying meat, Lan Shu also bought a pack of rock sugar and made some soy sauce.

After returning to the village, she bought a bunch of scallions grown in Aunt Wang's own yard with Aunt Wang next door, and planned to steam a pot of steamed buns stuffed with pork and scallions at noon.

In the Lan family, in the kitchen, Xiaobai usually cooks by himself, but today there is a Lanshu.

Xiaobai was in charge of lighting the fire and laying down the hands, while Lanshu was in charge of cooking.

The tender tenderloin is cut into strips, sprinkled with oil and salt and marinated for 15 minutes, then mixed with flour and deep-fried.

Chop the pork ribs into pieces, take out a small half and add ginger slices, shredded green onion, and peppercorns, and simmer in clear soup. The remaining half is fried with the rock sugar she bought today to make the sugar color, add green onions, ginger, peppercorns, and a small amount of soy sauce.

The soy sauce at this time is fermented with pure soybeans, real ingredients, and the taste is extraordinarily strong!
It can also be regarded as making up for the lack of other seasonings.

In addition to the crispy pork and pork ribs, more than half of the [-]-jin pork belly bought at the market was cut into half, chopped into meat fillings by Xiaobai, mixed with chopped green onions, added a small amount of warm water, salt, and soy sauce, and stirred evenly.

After the dough is fully kneaded and exhausted, you can fill it with meat stuffing and make buns.

Wait for 10 minutes after the steamed stuffed buns are wrapped and steamed over high heat, and the lunch is ready.

At noon, when Lan Dazhuang came back, he could smell the tangy smell of meat wafting in the air before he entered the door.

He was not the only one who was attracted by the fragrance. Several neighbors near his house walked out and stood outside their respective courtyards, breathing heavily.

"Whose family cooks delicious meat? Delicious meat!"

The neighbors who smelled the smell were envious, and then according to the direction of the smell, everyone quickly determined that the smell of meat came from Lan's house——

"Lan's life is really good here, and they eat meat again!" someone muttered.

"It's nothing to have money to eat meat now, but after paying the land contract money to the village for free every year in the future, you may not be able to eat meat~" Some people are jealous.

No matter whether the people in the village are envious or jealous of the Lan family, these will not affect Lan Shu's family.

When Lan Dazhuang returned home, he saw a plate of attractive pork ribs and a large bowl of buns on the table in the main hall with the door open. Lan Dazhuang finally knew where the smell just now came from!

"Xiaobai cooked delicious food today!?" Lan Dazhuang was so excited that his steps became much lighter when he walked.

Hearing Brother Da Zhuang's voice, Xiao Bai came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fried crispy meat.

As he walked, he said, "I didn't cook lunch today. Sister Lan personally cooks it."

When these words reached Lan Dazhuang's ears, he was stunned!
"What? Younger sister... can the food she cook be eaten?"
