Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 31 The Ding Family
At dusk, before Lu Quan came back, guests came to the house first.

Aunt Ding, a butcher in the town, carried a bamboo basket in one hand and her granddaughter in the other to find the Lu family's boat.

Unlike these people who usually live on the water, Aunt Ding came here after cleaning herself up carefully today.

A thin satin jacket and a crisp horse-face skirt.A golden hairpin was inserted into the coiled hair, and a not-so-round pearl was inlaid on the hairpin.

The workmanship may not be so exquisite, but this golden hairpin inlaid with pearls, under the reflection of the setting sun, brightened the eyes of all the women in the wild wharf.

That's gold, gold!
Aunt Ding walked into the shack by the pier, stopped for a while, and looked at several women who were lighting the fire in front of the shack.

"Excuse me, which boat is Lu Quan's boat?"

It was the first time for her to come to Ye Wharf, and when she saw the dilapidated shack in front of her that seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

She couldn't believe that such a delicious sausage could be made in such a place.

I was also a little vaguely worried about the purpose of my visit.

"Hey, here, here, this boat is. It's Mrs. Ding, what wind brought you here?"

Aunt Li, who was lighting a fire in front of her own shack, happily rushed to pick up Aunt Ding before Mrs. Qiu came out.

As long as there are people who live around Jiangjiaba, there is no one who does not know Boss Ding who sells meat, and Aunt Ding who specializes in account management.

"you are?"

Aunt Ding quickly glanced at Niang Li's greasy apron and soot-stained hands, and took a polite step back. She didn't know Lu Quan's wife, and she couldn't tell who the smiling woman in front of her was. Not the Lu family she was looking for.

If this person is really the mother of Lu Xiaosi's child, today's business might not be possible!

Without him, this woman is not very tidy.

"The Lu family and I are neighbors, our boats are next to each other."

Aunt Li's smile was warm and sincere, as if she was very familiar with Aunt Ding.While talking, he has already walked in front of Mrs. Ding in a few steps.The basket in Mrs. Ding's hand was tightly wrapped in lotus leaves, so I couldn't tell what was in it, but it made the smile on Aunt Li's face brighter.

"Ms. Ding, you have come here, why are you so polite?"

As Aunt Li said, she stretched out her hand, ready to pick up the bamboo basket that Aunt Ding was holding: "I'll come, I'll come, it's so heavy."

Aunt Ding hurriedly avoided: "No, no, I will do it myself, I will do it myself."

She is not an ignorant woman. She has sold meat with her family in Jiangjiaba for more than 20 years. Aunt Ding has never seen such a person.

This neighbor of the Lu family wanted to help her carry the basket, it was fake, but it was true that he wanted to take advantage.

Aunt Li didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her behavior. Seeing that Aunt Ding stepped aside, she still politely led Aunt Ding to the Lu family's fishing boat.

Although she was a little cautious, she didn't really want to take advantage of Ding's family.

"That's okay, please slow down. Sister Lu, you have a guest at your house. It's Mrs. Ding from the Ding's butcher shop in the town."

Although she didn't catch the basket, Aunt Li still glanced at the basket in Aunt Ding's hand while calling for Mrs. Qiu.

I didn't know what was in the basket, but it was heavy at first glance, covered with lotus leaves, and wrapped tightly.

I don't know who to guard against?

Aunt Li sniffed her nose, and could vaguely smell a pig smell, mixed with a stinky fishy smell.

The Ding family is a pig-killer, so they can't come here except for meat. They also brought fish on board.

Besides, Aunt Li's nose is very bright, and she knows that there must be meat in this basket, but I don't know if it is because of the leftovers from the morning market, and there is a vague smell of pig excrement.

I just don't know what kind of meat this meat is, is it the pig intestines bought by Lu's family last night, or the kind of fat pork.

Thinking about how many years I hadn't tasted pork, Aunt Li smiled more and more attentively, wishing she could drag Aunt Ding to her family's boat.

When Mrs. Qiu came out, Aunt Li was still chatting with Mrs. Ding.

Seeing that it was Aunt Ding who came to her house, Qiu was taken aback.

Even if the Lu family had never bought meat from the Ding family, the Qiu family knew about Mrs. Ding.

Jiangjiaba town is not big, but there are four meat cases.

Although the four meat cases are not together, the best business is the Ding family, which is a latecomer.

Aunt Ding was a girl from the town. Her mother died when she was five or six years old, and her father married her stepmother not long after.When the stepmother had no children, she treated Aunt Ding pretty well, but after two years the stepmother gave birth to a son, and began to spoil Aunt Ding who was only seven or eight years old.Burning fire for cooking, laundry and planting, and everything that can be done but can't be done, all are done by a child.

Later, Aunt Ding was taken back home by her uncle and brought up to adulthood. The married husband’s family is from the countryside. Mrs. Ding’s family has eight brothers, and they are poor.

I don't know why Aunt Ding fell in love with Boss Ding at that time, and she was willing to marry and go to the countryside to suffer.

After Auntie Ding married Boss Ding, Auntie Ding's uncle who was the head of the pavilion found a place for Boss Ding at the end of the town, where she specialized in butchering pigs and selling meat for a living.

Boss Ding just came to Jiangjiaba, and all the pants he was wearing were borrowed from his neighbors.

Within a few years, relying on a meat case, ten large tile-roofed houses with green bricks and black tiles were built in the town.

Aunt Ding gave birth to five sons in one breath, all of whom were big and rough. Because of the help of Aunt Ding's uncle's family in Jiangjiaba, life became better and better.

Mrs. Qiu didn't expect that the person who came to her house would be Aunt Ding. The intersection between her family and Aunt Ding was probably only yesterday. Xiaosi and the others sold zong leaves and bought pig feet and pig bones at Ding's house. Mrs. Ding sent a bunch of fat sausages.

The fat sausage was cooked well at noon yesterday, and Xiao Si and Xiao Yu gave Ding's a bowl in the afternoon.

After all, it was pig intestines sent by others, Qiu Shi was not stingy, he filled a big bowl with a big bowl at home, wrapped it in washed lotus leaves, and let Xiaosi Xiaoyu deliver it.

Qiu Shi looked at Aunt Ding standing on the shore, and her heart skipped a beat.Could it be that Ding's family couldn't adapt to eating fat intestines, and their stomachs were ruined?
"Ms. Ding?"

Mrs. Qiu hesitated for a moment, then laid the gangplank and prepared to disembark with a smile, "Why do you come to our small place when you have time?"

Aunt Ding also has a cheerful temperament, she smiled cheerfully, and glanced at the little granddaughter on the right: "My little granddaughter plays well with your two children, no, she must come to play with her older brother and sister. "

After saying that, Aunt Ding turned her head and smiled politely at Mrs. Li Guanguan: "Thank you, little sister-in-law, I will take my granddaughter to the boat to have a look. If you go to my butcher shop to buy meat next time, I will definitely let me be the head of the house." Give your scales high."

These words are actually just polite words, the Ding family's business in Jiangjiaba is good, even the Qiu family and Aunt Li know each other well, it's because Mr. Ding's business is fair, he pays a lot of money, and never does cheating.

Seeing that Mrs. Qiu came out to pick up Mrs. Ding, Aunt Li was not annoyed that she could not get any advantage.

Just watching Aunt Ding get on the Lu family's boat with a smile on her face.

After all, the Lu family eats fat intestines, but her family is rich.

This time Auntie Ding brought most of the basket of things, and when the time comes, Qiu's hands will be looser, maybe her family can eat two more mouthfuls of meat.
