Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 47 Fatty Meat
Just after lunch, Qiu was on the boat coaxing Lu Xiaowu to sleep.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are not many people living in the shack at noon.During the daytime, when Lu Quan was not there, Qiu and his children were resting on the boat.

As soon as Lu Xiaowu fell asleep, he heard someone shouting from the bank: "Auntie, Auntie, I am Xiaowu."

Qiu is still wondering, which Xiaowu?Why is it the same as the one in her arms, it's all Xiaowu.

Probably because he was afraid that people might not understand, someone called again: "I'm Ding Wu, is Lu's aunt at home?"

Lu Xiaowu was probably startled by the voice on the shore, he jerked his hands together and was about to cry.

Qiu hurriedly patted Lu Xiaowu, motioning for Lu Yange to build a springboard.

At noon, because of Lu Yange's request, the whole family had to sleep for a while except Lu Quan, who was carrying the labor at the pier. The Lu family pulled the springboard after eating, so as not to disturb Lu Xiaowu by the people on the nearby boat coming up to talk.

This child doesn't like to cry, but if you want to disturb his sleep, that's not okay, it will make a loud cry.

When Ding Wu saw Lu Yangge, he grinned first, and held up a knife in his hand: "My mother asked me to bring it."

One cut of meat, more fat than thin.The fat is as wide as a finger, and it looks so white that people like it.

Since Lu Yange came to this world, he has never seen such thick fat.

Although there is lean meat in this meat, compared with the fat meat, it is pitifully little.

In the past, Lu Yangge would never have eaten this kind of fat meat, but now, just seeing the white meat, she felt her cheeks swell.

want to eat.

Lu Yange led Ding Wu to the cabin, and the women and children on the shore looked at Ding Wu's figure with envy in their eyes.

That's meat, a long strip of fat.

Eat sparingly, the fat boiled out is enough to feed a family for half a year.

"Auntie, the braised fat intestines and pig's feet are all sold today, and there is not enough to sell every day."

Ding Wu wiped the sweat off his face with a smile on his face, and nodded with a smile at Lu Yange who poured him tea: "My mother said, let me tell my aunt that I will give you the money when my aunt goes home tomorrow. By the way My aunt, please go to the house to have a look when you are free. My mother, my sisters-in-law are new to it, and I am afraid that they will not do well. My aunt will watch them for a few more days to feel at ease. By the way, my mother also said, look at the business in the past few days It’s so good, my mother also left two pig heads, pig tails and pig feet, ready to be marinated and sold tomorrow.”

He is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and Ding Wu can speak more than ordinary people of the same age that Lu Yange has met.

Seeing people smiling all over his face, he was almost similar to Aunt Ding, with the same handsome eyebrows and big eyes, but on Ding Wu's face he looked heroic.

It was originally agreed that Mrs. Qiu would go to Ding's house to help with it for a few days, and when Mrs. Ding's daughter-in-law was able to get started, she would not have to go.

Now the Ding family has sent Ding Wu to invite him, and he also brought meat. This is treating the Qiu family like a master.

Naturally, the Qiu family would not refuse: "Isn't the silver money agreed to be one cent every ten days? Don't worry. Auntie has to give you the amount of copper coins for this meat."

As he said that, Qiu was going to take out his money bag to give Ding Wu money.

Unexpectedly, Ding Wu got up in a panic and even overturned the tea bowl on the table, most of the full bowl of tea spilled on him.

Ding Wu was embarrassed and desperate, and while he was busy wiping the water off the boat board, he did not forget to explain to Qiu: "This is how I can ask for my aunt's money. The pig's feet from the day before yesterday were marinated by my aunt, and my mother took them to the gate. It was sold for eighty copper coins, and this is the meat my mother left for my aunt, saying it was to make up for the pig's feet from the day before yesterday."

The day before yesterday, when Lu Yange left the fat intestines and pig's feet, he said that the pig's feet counted as wages.

Unexpectedly, the Qiu family marinated the pig's feet again and sold them to Mrs. Ding.

Today, Mrs. Ding deliberately cut a piece of fat meat weighing more than two catties and sent it to her youngest son.

This is much more valuable than pig's feet!

"That's not how the account is calculated."

Although Lu Yange said that the pig's feet counted as wages, Aunt Ding sold the fat intestines and pig's feet to share a profit with the Lu family. How could she take advantage of the Ding family again.

Qiu took out fifty Wen and insisted on giving it, but Ding Wu was determined not to take it.

Pushing back and forth, Ding Wu had no choice but to lift the curtain and escape out of the cabin and run away.

He absolutely cannot take this copper coin back, otherwise he will be beaten to death by his mother.

Qiu Shi looked at the meat brought by Ding Wu, and looked at Lu Yange in embarrassment: "Do you see this meat?"

You can't send it back, but Mrs. Ding won't take the money if you give it back!
"Mother, since it was given by Mrs. Ding sincerely, you can keep it. Later, my elder sister and my second sister will collect the fishing nets. If there are any fish, I will bring some fresh fish to Mrs. Ding's house. However, this time You have to make it clear to Aunt Ding that business is business, favors are favors, and you must never send meat again in the future."

Qiu Shi nodded, and could only do as Xiaosi said.

Although her family is poor, she has always disliked taking advantage of others.

This time the Ding family brought such a large piece of meat, which made her somewhat embarrassed.

Lu Yange saw that Qiu's head was lowered and he didn't speak, and he didn't say anything more. Mother was used to this kind of barren life.Suddenly someone brought a knife to her, which was a great favor to her. Not only did she not feel happy, but she felt burdened.

In fact, from her point of view, the reason Aunt Ding sent the meat this time was because the fat sausages and pig's knuckles were selling well these days.

In the future, the two will cooperate.

Otherwise, why did Auntie Ding not bring pork when she came two days ago, but only sent two pig feet, a piece of fat sausage, and a piece of pork liver.

It's not because fat intestines are not easy to sell, and no one likes pig's feet, and the pig's liver is usually used as a topping.

The meat delivery today is of course because Mrs. Ding has seen the benefits of these two days.

Lu Yange handed the meat to Lu Xiaoqing: "Elder sister, hang it up, and make braised pork when Dad comes back tonight."

"What to eat, how can I eat meat every day."

Before Qiu Shi could speak, Lu Xiaoli took the meat first: "I'll cut off the fat meat first and boil it in oil, and marinate the lean meat with salt, and keep it for a few days before eating."

"Second Sister, I don't mind cooking fatty meat with oil. Don't marinate this lean meat. It's so hot, what should I do if it breaks?"

Lu Yange tugged on Lu Xiaoli's sleeve fawningly and did not let go: "Give me some copper coins, let's go buy some flour and make dumplings. It would be great to make dumplings with the leftover oil residue and lean meat."

"Okay, let's make dumplings." Mrs. Qiu opened the purse she just took out and was about to take out the money.

"Mother...why are you so spoiled by Xiao Si?"

Lu Xiaoli didn't expect that not only did the meat not stay, but she would pay for the flour instead. She stared at Qiu's hand that took out the money, wishing she could snatch Qiu's money bag.

"I have to eat meat and buy flour, how much money does it cost!"

Can't get by?
Lu Yange didn't care about Lu Xiaoli's jumping feet in anger, she took the money from Qiu Shi, dragged Lu Xiaoyu and ran outside.

People ran out and still didn't forget to turn around and shout: "Second sister, don't forget to go down the slope and pick a tender rice melon. The meat filling of rice melon is delicious and not greasy."

Lu Xiaoli angrily spat in the direction where Lu Xiaosi was going: "You still have tender rice melons for stuffing, how can she be so good at eating them. The rice melons haven't grown yet, so it's a pity to eat them."

"Okay."

Qiu patted Lu Xiaoli with a smile, "It's better than just wrapping the meat, go pick it up."

On this day, the Lu family ate dumplings stuffed with meat, and a few greedy children from the wild wharf made a fuss at home.
