Chapter 30 Kosher Salt
Mrs. Cui's heart ached a little when she thought of how expensive salt was.

But salt is a must-buy. It is used for cooking on weekdays. If you do not put salt in the dishes, it really has no taste at all, and it is difficult to swallow.

Mrs. Cui still listened to Zhiluo, "Okay."

Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui first went to the meat case to buy meat.

The two of them were going to the meat case in the market, which was very lively.

But in the past, you have to pass through the medical center just now, in order not to attract attention.

They decided to go through the lonely alley at the back.

It's just that when I passed this alley, I didn't expect to see a meat stall.

It's a small out-of-the-way stall, but it's kept clean.

A fat girl in clean clothes was arranging the meat chopping board.

Mrs. Cui was also taken aback, "There is a meat stall here, isn't it too remote?"

"But it looks clean."

Jiang Zhiluo looked at the tidy up, and pulled Mrs. Cui over.

"Sister, how much is the pork belly at your stall?"

As soon as the fat girl saw the customer, she smiled and said, "Nineteen Wen a catty."

Madam Cui's eyes lit up, this is cheaper than the meat at the market.

"If aunt and sister buy meat, I happen to have a pair of pigs here, so I will send them to you."

Mrs. Cui couldn't believe it, she leaned close to Jiang Zhiluo's ear and whispered, "It's really a good deal."

These days, some people also buy pig offal to eat, but it is not easy to clean, so pig offal is also cheap, so a pair may cost a penny or two.

A penny or two pennies is also money.

Naturally, Jiang Zhiluo knew the market, and it was considered cheap. Because of the good location, pork belly meat cost 21 renminbi a catty, and ordinary meat cost [-] renminbi.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the fat girl smiled and said, "Don't worry, our pork is all fresh, it's our own pigs."

At this moment, a boy of thirteen or fourteen ran out and said, "The pig my parents just killed this morning is the freshest."

The little boy is not like the fat girl, he is well-proportioned, he is a sunny boy, looking very energetic.

This reminded Jiang Zhiluo of her younger brother.

The fat girl said softly, "Brother, why are you here?"

"I'm here to help my sister."

Jiang Zhiluo said: "You guys, is this a new stall?"

The fat girl smiled and explained: "It has been open for many years. It was the first to kill pigs in the village. It was also in the past two years that it moved to the town. On weekdays, the nearby residents buy meat."

"Besides, when the village is going to market and celebrate festivals, butchering pigs also goes to the village to work."

"But it used to be at the market. After my father got injured, he stopped putting it there. I moved here."

Jiang Zhiluo had a conversation with the fat girl, and she also knew her name was Lin Zhuzhu, and also learned some things.

Lin Zhuzhu's parents used to butcher pigs in the village. In the past, their family was in good condition, so Lin Zhuzhu's parents supported her younger brother's education.

But last year, his father was injured and fell ill, and her mother was weak, so she took over the meat case stall.

She is also now, and in the past few years, she has been gossiped because of her publicity in the meat case business. A few years ago, her family arranged a marriage for her, but because of her bad reputation, she was dismissed.

But she doesn't care about these things herself, she behaves well and sits upright, and she is not afraid of what others will say.

After she took over the butcher shop, she was able to make money to treat her father's illness, and also let her younger brother study. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"At the beginning, people thought how could a girl's family be able to kill pigs, but I thought, why can't women do what men can do? I grew up strong and helped my father do these things since I was a child. Cleaner than all of them..."

When Lin Zhuzhu said this, there was a smile in her eyes.

Although she looks fat, she looks pretty when she smiles.

Jiang Zhiluo said, "I'll buy a catty of pork belly first."

Although Jiang Zhiluo only bought one catty, Lai Lin Zhuzhu also praised her highly.

He also gave Jiang Zhiluo a pair of pigs into the water.

Jiang Zhiluo was very happy in her heart, pigs in the water are a good thing.

In this way, there is no need to make buns, and she can use pig offal to make roujiamo.

Mrs. Cui couldn't stand the smell of pigs in the water.

"Zhiluo, do we really want to eat this? We won't deal with this pig in the water."

Most importantly, Mrs. Cui thought, her son of Zhilan Yushu probably wouldn't eat this thing.

My son loves cleanliness so much, and he has a cleanliness freak, so he probably can't even smell the smell.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mother, don't worry, I will handle it."

Generally speaking, it can be treated with flour, but free is too expensive, so it is cleaned with plant ash.

This saves money.

Then they went to the grocery store to buy salt.

But a catty of salt costs seventy Wen.

Hearing the price, Jiang Zhiluo frowned.

"This salt is too expensive, is there any cheaper one?"

"Then there is only coarse salt, and this kind of large-grain coarse salt costs 35 Wen a catty." The shopkeeper looked at the coarse salt in the corner, and there were not many people buying these large-grain coarse salt.

The main reason is that everyone feels that eating this kind of coarse salt is not good for the body.

Jiang Zhiluo's mind moved, she would use coarse salt to extract fine salt.

Jiang Zhiluo said, "Then buy two catties of coarse salt."

Mrs. Cui grabbed Jiang Zhiluo's hand and said, "Zhiluo, it's not good to eat coarse salt, I heard it's poisonous."

Jiang Zhiluo knew that some coarse salt had some chemical substances in it.

But as long as you follow the filtration purification method.

Boiling with plant ash can neutralize some of these impurities.

"Mom, don't worry, it's okay."

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Mrs. Cui with a calm expression.

Madam Cui looked at Jiang Zhiluo's expression, and for some reason, she felt convincing.

It was as if what she said was right.

Mrs. Cui thought that thirty Wen is expensive too, if it can't be used, it will be wasted.

Her heart throbbed a little, but when she thought that Zhiluo earned the money, she thought to herself, Zhiluo can do whatever she wants.

The shopkeeper looked at them in surprise.

But looking at their poor clothes, I thought they couldn't afford salt.

The money earned from selling brown sugar is not enough to buy two catties of coarse salt.

Jiang Zhiluo took out a little of the several hundred coins that had been put in the space before, and bought two catties of coarse salt.

She looked again and bought some spices at the grocery store, but the spices were not complete. She went to the market to buy some things, including pepper and pepper, and bought some wine, which cost more than 50 yuan.

The main reason is that these seasonings are not easy to buy, you have to buy them from the spice stalls, the price is a bit more expensive, and the most common wine costs [-] cents a catty.

Mrs. Cui didn't know what to say.

This way of spending, she was really worried that she would not be able to save money, but after thinking about it, it was good for her daughter-in-law to be happy.

Just make money again.

Afterwards, Jiang Zhiluo didn't buy anything, but went home with Madam Cui.

As soon as she got home, Jiang Zhiluo started to burn the ashes, and then used the ashes to wash the pigs into the water.

Mrs. Cui felt that she should do such dirty work, and her daughter-in-law's slender and beautiful hands should not be rough.

"Zhiluo, it's fine for mother to do these things, and mother will wash clean."
