Chapter 9 Start a new life

Bai Dashan wanted to say something more, but Tian Tian on the side said hurriedly: "Dad, haven't you noticed? My little sister has grown up a lot in the past six months since she got married. It seems that the person who wants to be a mother is different, and her thoughts are delicate. It's a lot. Mom and dad, don't worry, I'll come over to help my little sister tomorrow, my parents' attitude is here to show, let's see who dares to bully her in the future."

Bai Taotao echoed: "Yes, there are so many tasks at home, and you all assigned your eldest brother to me. It's not good for me to go back and eat free rice. Okay, that's it. Don't you want to go to the market, eldest brother?" , then go and come back quickly. Let’s see what price these two rabbits can fetch?”

During the day: "After selling the rabbit, little sister, do you have anything else that you need brother to buy for you?"

Bai Taotao thought for a while and said, "Then buy ten kilograms of rice and noodles and cut two kilograms of meat. Tomorrow the workers will come to work and have to take care of a meal, so I have to buy some rice and noodles and come back, right? Is the money enough? Not enough for me. I’ll get you some more.”

Daytime: "These two big fat rabbits, if you meet a good buyer, they can be sold for a few taels of silver, which is completely enough."

Hearing this, Bai Taotao looked shocked: "Can it be sold at such a good price?"

She could only buy one for fifty cents from the Universal Mall. Of course, there was one for twenty cents, but it didn't take much to think about it to know that the size would be different.

She was thinking that her father was drinking with her uncle and there were many people eating at home, so she spent a hundred copper coins to buy two.

If this can be exchanged for a few taels of silver, then this business will be profitable.

Bai Tian: "Don't forget, your eldest brother and I also go hunting in the mountains when we have free time. After so many years, I still know a few tricks. Look at the fur of this rabbit. It can be considered to be of high quality. If you encounter such a quality of fur, A good buyer can sell just a piece of skin for several taels of silver, not to mention that this rabbit is so strong and its meat is worth a lot of money."

Otherwise, why would he have been so anxious to take these two rabbits from his younger sister?

It is indeed a waste to take this rabbit home and eat it yourself. The skin will definitely be damaged if you don't know how to handle it. No one wants bad skin.

He was not sure how to deal with it, so the best thing was to sell the whole rabbit for the little sister.

Bai Taotao smiled awkwardly after hearing this: "I didn't realize for a moment that the skin is more valuable than the meat. Then brother, please work hard and help me exchange some money for these two rabbits, and then buy a pig head. Then I will I’ll make you something delicious and take it home to try with dad.”

Bai Dashan felt warm in his heart when he heard that his child was thinking about him all the time, "You silly boy, just keep the money from the sale for yourself. There will be more places to use the money in the future. Dad will have plenty to eat and drink at home." , you don’t need to worry about it.”

Bai Taotao: "Anyway, we will have to take care of the workers' meals at that time. It won't be a big deal if we give it to dad and take it home to taste. Why can't the workers eat it if I give it to dad, but not dad?"

Bai Tian: "That's right, that's right. Okay, it's getting late. Then I'll go to the county to have a look and try to get a good price for you. I don't think there will be any good buyers in town at this time."

"Hey, won't it be dark when you get back by then? Then you take a bullock cart. It's a quick trip back and forth. You can't afford to lose a big deal at this time." Bai Taotao said and took out ten copper plates from his pocket. Hand it to Tian Tian.

Bai Dashan: "Listen to your little sister, things are not going well this year. It would be safer to leave early and come back early."

In this way, I collected the copper coins during the day, then rented an ox cart in the village and headed to the county.

As soon as Bai Taotao left during the day, Bai Taotao's parents gave her a small cloth bag and left without looking back.

Looking at the backs of the two elders and the scattered coins in the small cloth bag in his hand, Bai Taotao felt a little unspeakable in his heart as he stood alone in the old house.

The tears in the corners of my eyes fell uncontrollably and desperately.

In the end, I couldn't help but sob quietly.

"Father, mother, it is your daughter who is unfilial, and she is sorry for you."

"Father, mother, my daughter will definitely work hard in the future and let you live a good life."

This may be the original owner's last farewell to her parents, or it may be Bai Taotao's inner guilt for occupying the original owner's body and being unable to tell the truth to the two elders.

In short, Bai Taotao cried alone in the old house for a long time.

Tired of crying, I said goodbye to the past completely. From now on, she will be her, she will be her, and they will be one person.

From now on, she will start a new life in this northern country.

Let everyone who loves her live a good life.

Putting the heavy small cloth bag in her hand into the money box in the storage space, Bai Taotao packed herself up and walked to her uncle's house. In the evening, Brother Bai Taotao sold the rabbit and gave her the things he bought and the remaining money.

The two big fat rabbits were sold for a total of five and a half taels of silver, and they bought rice, noodles, pig heads, and shredded tobacco. In addition, during the day, considering that the younger sister was pregnant, I helped buy three kilograms of fine grains to eat with them. These things cost a total of three hundred and twenty coins. .

Bai Taotao collected the things one by one, smelled a smelly bag next to her elder brother and asked, "Brother, what is in this bag? Why is it so smelly?"

Bai Tian smiled and replied: "When I bought you a pig head just now, I saw a few pigs in the butcher's stall, so I asked the boss to borrow a sack and put it back to fertilize the fields."

Bai Taotao was pleasantly surprised when she heard this: "Is this place full of pigs? Let me see."

During the day: "It stinks, don't look at it, it'll make you sick."

Bai Taotao: "It's okay, I'm not that squeamish."

As she said that, she reached out and opened the sack and took a look. Inside was a whole set of pig offal, including pig belly and pig lungs.

These are all good things, including pig intestines, pig hearts, etc.

"Brother, give me all these things, I will be of great use."

"What do you want these things for? The land you just bought can't be used to grow crops?"

"Oh, just give it to me. I'll give you a big surprise when I finish it."

During the day, I saw that my little sister had said this, so I had to agree: "Okay, look, you are still so mysterious. I gave you the things. Put the sack away for me. I will take it and return it another day." My boss."

Bai Taotao nodded: "Don't worry."

After sending her eldest brother away, Bai Taotao took advantage of the fact that there was no one at home. After leaving a pig belly, he changed hands and put the rest of the pig's guts into the storage space.

She would take it out and pack it away later when she had time.

Then she started preparing dinner.

Originally, my family didn't have dinner at night, mainly because there hasn't been a drop of rain for most of this year. Now we don't know if the crops can last until the autumn harvest. Every household is living in a tight situation, so I can save money by skipping a meal. A meal.

But Bai Taotao is a pregnant woman. She will feel hungry if she doesn't eat. Plus she is pregnant. If she doesn't eat this meal tonight, she won't be able to sleep well tonight.

So she planned to make a simple pork belly porridge tonight.

There are only four adults and a child over one year old at home, so one pork belly and two handfuls of brown rice are enough.

The first step of Bai Taotao is to wash the rice. After washing the rice, soak it in water for a while.

Next, clean the pork belly, then put the pork belly into the pot with cold water, add ginger slices, a little pepper, and cooking wine and blanch it in water.

Then cut the blanched pork belly into shreds.

Heat oil in another pot, add garlic and ginger slices and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour the shredded pork belly into the pot and stir-fry for a while. In order to remove the peculiar smell of the pork belly, you can add some rice wine and stir-fry at this time. The pork belly fried in this way is fragrant.

After the rice wine is fried and the pork belly is fragrant, you can add water and stew.

After the pork belly is stewed until tender, you can take it out. Leave the soup in the pot and add the rice to make porridge. After the rice grains bloom, pour the pork belly back into the pot and simmer over medium-low heat for five or six minutes before seasoning. Take it out of the pot and start eating.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I picked out the garlic, ginger slices and white peaches that were added earlier and threw them into the stove fire to burn them clean.

"Daughter-in-law Youyi, are you cooking dinner? It smells so good!" Mrs. Chen Wang, who had returned from an afternoon of farm work, could smell the fragrance as soon as she entered the house. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva, curious. ask.
