Chapter 26

The most important thing to buy is a large iron pot. Generally, an iron pot bought by people can last a lifetime, or even more years, even if it is missed and spent a little money to make up, it can continue to be used.

Jiang Niqi really didn't know where to buy this iron pot, or find a blacksmith's shop?
"You're asking the right person. I bought a sickle and hoe at a blacksmith's shop last year. When I saw him, there was a ready-made iron pot. The shop is much cheaper. But the blacksmith's shop is not in the county, wait a minute When you go back, just ask the village chief to take a short detour."

So Jiang Niqiu went to buy something else instead.

First, I followed Wei Dahua to the meat stall and bought three catties of fat pork. Although the pork stall on the side of the road was a little more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperative, there was no ticket, and there was no limit.

Although there are two fish in the house, if the ginger loach is not eaten, it will be enough for the ginger fish to eat for several days, but eating fish alone is boring.

It's not the only one who says she's too thin. Jiang Niqiu wants to make his daughter fatter. He's just such a daughter. If he doesn't treat her well, who will he treat well?
After buying the meat, I bought some condiments, salt, soy sauce, etc. I saw someone selling cloth heads, saying that they were leftovers and defective products from the factory. The big five cents cost two yuan, and the small three cents cost two yuan. Jiang Niqiu bought a lot of cloth heads, and when he went back, he could ask villagers who knew how to sew to help make sheets and quilt covers.

"Comrade, how do you sell that pink one?"

In addition to the cloth head, there are also some larger whole cloth or pieces of cloth. Jiang Niqi immediately fell in love with the peach powder cloth. It must look good to make clothes for Jiang Yu.

In a few days, it will be July and August, the weather is hot, and the clothes have to be changed frequently. Since I have money, of course I have to dress up my daughter beautifully.

"Comrade, you have a good eye. This is the best color in my batch. You came early, or you will be snatched up if you don't wait. Your child is so fair and clean, it matches the clothes of this color Just right!"

"Brother, I won't hide it from you. This batch of cloth was not originally ordered in this color, it was dyed badly, but we can't say that this color is not good-looking, right? This price must be a little more expensive than the ones just now, One foot is the number."

The eldest sister who sells cloth gestures.

Wei Dahua was also picking out the cloth. If Jiang Niach didn't ask, she would want to ask about the cloth for Jiang Yu. Such a bright color is not common in small stalls outside.

"Sister, we are relatives, we are here to buy things together, you see, I bought you so much, and I will give it cheaper!"

After some bargaining, the cloth of Tao Zifen was reduced by another five points. Wei Dahua made a lot of clothes, so he could estimate how much cloth would be used to make clothes for Jiang Yu at a glance.

After buying the cloth, several people returned with a full load.

On the way back, I went to the blacksmith shop that Wei Dahua mentioned to buy an iron pot and a few farm tools.

Ironware is expensive, a large iron pot cost 30 yuan, a kitchen knife 6 yuan, and some necessary agricultural tools for farming.

Sickles, hoes, shovels, shovels, iron forks, picks, axes... These are the most commonly used, because only the head is made of iron, and it costs a total of 30 yuan to install a wooden handle.

Adding the money spent in the county town, the 75 yuan is gone.

When I got home, it was getting late, Jiang Niqiu cleaned the iron pot he bought, and built a simple stove with two stones at the door of the house.

After heating the pot with firewood, cut the fat pork into pieces to consume oil, and moisten the pot with lard by the way, so that it will not be easy to rust after use.

"It smells so good! Dad, can I eat oil residue?"

Jiang Yute likes to watch other people cook, but she dare not go to the kitchen at Jiang's house because Mrs. Jiang is afraid that their children will steal it.

People in the village don’t have oil tickets. When they were in the production team, the fields were full of wheat and corn. It mainly depends on what kind of public grain they want to pay. Even if they grow peanuts and melon seeds on their own plots, they can’t grow too many. , There is no need to use it to squeeze oil, and there is too little stuff to squeeze it out.

The production team also raises pigs. After the task pigs are handed over, the remaining pigs will be slaughtered in the village for the new year.

The pigskin that was allocated was kept to wipe the bottom of the pot when cooking. This piece of pigskin can be used for a long time, and the fat meat that was allocated would consume lard. At that time, the whole village smelled of meat, and the wild cats in the village were greedy. The dog kept barking.

When Mrs. Jiang consumes lard, some of the used up oil residue is left for cooking, but she will put out half a bowl for Jiang Chao to eat. Jiang Xing can also get one or two pieces, and the rest of the children can only keep it. Salivating eagerly watching.

At this time, the eldest sister Jiang Tao will pull up her younger sister Jiang Li, run out to dig out bird eggs to satisfy her greed, and come back after eating outside.

Later, Jiang Yu grew up and had teeth to eat, so she would also take her with her.

Ginger Loach fished the golden oil residue into a bowl, "Of course, but I'll eat later, it's not good to eat too much of this stuff." He took another bowl and poured some more, "Here's for you to eat. Eat the rest while cooking."

"Father, can you give me a little more, I want to ask the eldest sister and the second sister to eat together, they have never eaten oily residue."

Jiang Tao and Jiang Li usually take good care of Jiang Yu. Without these two sisters, Jiang Yu would be even more difficult and lonely at home.

Hearing what she said, Jiang Niqiu wasn't stingy at all. Half of the time passed, and she praised her for doing the right thing. It's wrong to eat alone like Jiang Chao.

Jiang Yu's small head was raised high after being praised.

Before it was time for lunch, the two sisters must be playing. Jiang Yu felt that the hot oily residue must be more delicious, so she ran to find them.

"Eldest sister, second sister!"

Jiang Tao and Jiang Li are hopscotching, and Jiang Xing is also there.

Thinking of yesterday's dream, and Jiang Xing wronging herself that time, Jiang Yu didn't call her.

But Jiang Xing's thick skin couldn't stop her from running over.

"Little sister, what are you looking for from us? How are you and third uncle living outside?" Jiang Tao asked.

"Xiaoyu, do you have new clothes?" Jiang Xing paid attention to the clothes first.

Jiang Yu looked down at the clothes, "It's not new, it was remade by the godmother from her old clothes. Eldest sister, second sister, my father and I are very good!"

Staying away from Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Yu felt that everything was fine.

Not only do they have new clothes to wear, but also meat to eat, so the small life is not too good.

It turned out to be old clothes. Jiang Xing suppressed her jealousy a little bit, so she just said, Jiang Nixiu and Jiang Yu saw it with their own eyes when they separated. It was impossible for them to hide things privately. How could Jiang Yu wear them so quickly? new clothes.

"But the godmother said she would make me a new dress."

Jiang Xing's smile gradually disappeared.

Jiang Yu felt that the fourth sister was a little gloomy, so she stood by Jiang Tao's side, wanting to stay away from her.

"Elder Sister and Second Sister, my father has something to ask you, please come with me."

Jiang Tao really thought it was Jiang Niqiu who was looking for them, "Third Uncle, what can I do, I'm going to have dinner later, why don't you go after dinner?"

She was afraid that if she came back late, she would run out of food, and Mrs. Jiang would never leave food for them.

Jiang Li was speechless, and secretly poked this elder sister who was smart at times and stupid at other times.

"Hahaha, Lizi, why are you poking me, it's so ticklish!"

It happened to be poked at the waist, and Jiang Tao jumped out.

Ginger pear: ...

Keep her quiet, she doesn't want to talk.

Jiang Xing rolled her eyes, and suddenly grabbed Jiang Yu's hand, "Xiaoyu, didn't third uncle call me?"

In all likelihood, it wasn't Jiang Niqiu. The three of them always gathered together to eat secretly. Could it be that besides new clothes, Jiang Niu got something delicious?

After all, Wei Dahua has a son who is a soldier, so he must have all kinds of tickets in his hand, and Jiang Nixiu caught a lot of fish yesterday.

Jiang Xing twitched the corners of her mouth with a dry smile, and then withdrew her hand from hers, "Fourth Sister, my father only asked me to call Eldest Sister and Second Sister. Eldest Sister and Second Sister, let's go quickly." After speaking, she pulled Jiang Tao Jiangli ran away.

Jiang Xing grabbed a handful, but didn't even catch a piece of clothing, and stomped her feet angrily.
