Chapter 12

Aunt Liu patted her thigh, "Then I'll send them over after they finish eating."

After putting away a bowl of sharp dishes, the couple continued chatting.

What they didn't know was that all these words fell into Qiao Lianlian's ears.

Fragrant Braised Pork...

Qiao Lianlian's eyes lit up instantly, yes, there is no braised pork in Xiyang Town, not even one.

If she sells the sweet and spicy stew made in a modern way, it will be very popular.

Even if no one buys it, it doesn’t matter, there are so many people in the family, there is always enough to eat, and there is no waste.

Once upon a time, Qiao Lianlian thought about hunting for a living, but her identity in Gu's Village was just a weak little woman, and she was lucky enough to "pick up" a sheep. If she could hunt prey all the time, she would have to arouse suspicion.

But what if she buys meat regularly?

A batch of bought meat is mixed with a batch of prey that you hunt, which is not eye-catching at all, and it can save money at the same time.

This is really a good way to have the best of both worlds.

Just do it.

After lunch, Qiao Lianlian used the leftover marinade as a starter, added a lot of pepper and chili soy sauce rock sugar, and poured the rice wine that he didn't dare to serve the children before, and stewed the remaining leg of lamb into crispy It's rotten, and the smell is even worse than before.

The few children in the family were attracted, and they all squatted beside her and looked at the pot eagerly.

"Why, you don't have enough for lunch, and you still want to eat?" Qiao repeatedly teased them deliberately.

Gu Ge blinked, and said childishly, "The meat is delicious, but Geer is full and can't eat."

She rubbed her bulging belly with an aggrieved expression.

"That's right, it would be great if I could have two more stomachs." Gu Lou rubbed his hands resentfully.

Qiao Lian almost spit out.

The one with three stomachs is a cow, right?

Gu Cheng on the side couldn't see it. It's a shame to have these two younger brothers and sisters!

That night, bury the marinated leg of lamb in the ice and snow to make it tasty, and then take it out the next morning and heat it up before it can be sold.

This time, in addition to Gu Ge, Gu Que and Gu Cheng also went to the market with Qiao Lian.

This is not what she requested, but Gu Cheng mentioned it on his own initiative.

The nine-year-old boy circled around the door of the house several times before hesitatingly said, "You take Xiao Wu alone, since you have to watch the baby and sell things, you can't always take care of it, why don't you take Xiao Wu with you?" Let's go over to help together, and Xiaosan and Xiaosi will stay and look after the house."

Qiao Lianlian readily agreed.

Early in the morning, the mother and the others packed the braised lamb legs in cans, got on Uncle Niu's donkey cart, and went to Xiyang Town.

The so-called plan for a day is in the morning, and the morning market is the most crowded time in Xiyang Town. There are people selling steamed buns, steamed buns and candied haws, buying vegetables, onions and soy sauce, coming and going in an endless stream.

Qiao Lianlian was an unfamiliar face, and no one was given a seat, so he only chose a stall at the end of the road, and there were some shoes and socks beside him, and few people came to buy food.

Gu Que was worried, "We should have come earlier, the good seats have been chosen by others."

"Don't worry." Qiao Lianlian didn't rush, first spread out the clean wooden tray, and then opened the braised meat jar.

In an instant, a spicy and delicious smell came out, and then scattered in all directions. After a while, half of the people on the street could smell the smell of meat.

"What does it taste like?"

"Whose meat is too delicious."

There were discussions around, Gu Que happily grabbed the corner of Qiao Lianlian's clothes, and after a while, he hurriedly let go.

Qiao Lianlian didn't care about the girl's small thoughts, she was now listening to the sounds around her with all her heart, and when she saw someone attracted by the scent, she couldn't help but smile smugly.

Thanks to her best friend who is a chef, she shared all kinds of delicacies with her when she had nothing to do, and taught her all kinds of food selflessly, which led Qiao Lian to become half a gourmet expert.

Unfortunately, we will never meet again.

Qiao repeatedly lowered his head, picked up a deli knife, and cut a few pieces of lamb leg.

Just in time, an old glutton came looking for it following the scent, and she took advantage of the situation and said, "Fresh stewed leg of lamb costs ten cents a catty, you can try it."

Fresh mutton is five cents a catty, including seasoning, firewood, labor costs, and water loss. Qiao repeatedly estimated the price at ten cents.

She is mentally prepared that if someone thinks it is expensive, she will drop it again.

But who would have thought that after tasting a slice, an old gourmet immediately made a decision, "Give me three catties."

Qiao Lianlian waved his hands up and down, took out the newly bought small scale, and used an unskilled technique to weigh three catties of mutton leg.

The old glutton took the money neatly and left with the meat.

Qiao Lian handed over thirty Wen to Gu Cheng, let him hold it, and began to receive the next guest.

As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and the same goes for meat.

The sweet and spicy meat is so attractive, but almost everyone who tasted it took away a catty or two of meat.

Three mutton legs, more than 20 catties of mutton, were sold out in half an hour.

In Gu Cheng's hands, he had already saved more than half a penny of copper coins.

Although it is not as profitable as selling skins, it is a difficult task to hunt good prey and peel them off without hurting the skin. Unlike selling stewed meat, it is easy and convenient to do, and it is more like a living business.

"Mom, it's sold out, let's go home." Gu Ge grabbed Qiao Lianlian's hand.

"Come back now." Qiao Lian repeatedly signaled Gu Que to put away the cutting board and crock pot, wiped his hands and picked up Gu Ge, "We have to go buy some meat, and we will continue to sell stewed meat tomorrow."

The ladies cleared up the stalls and were about to leave when a little brother hurried over, "Hey, that little lady, I want the leg of lamb, leg of lamb."

When he got closer, he saw the empty booth, and his eyes widened instantly.

"I'm sorry, my lord, we're sold out." Qiao Lianlian said apologetically.

"Hey, it's my fault that I didn't bring any money just now, but now I have brought money, but you sold it out again." The little brother was very annoyed, and he repeatedly patted his head, and his strength attracted passers-by.

"We will come to sell braised pork tomorrow. If you want to eat it, come back tomorrow." Qiao repeatedly comforted him.

"Really?" The little brother's eyes lit up again, "Young lady must keep her word, I'll come back tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he ran away like a monkey, at such a fast speed, he looked a bit like a martial arts person in a martial arts novel.

Qiao repeatedly laughed at his own brain hole.

She hugged Gu Ge with one hand and carried the bamboo basket on her body with the other. When she was about to leave, she realized that Gu Cheng was staring at the little brother's back in a daze.

"Chenger." She called softly, "Let's go, go buy meat."

"Oh, good." Gu Cheng withdrew the complicated look in his eyes, lowered his head, and turned into that silent young boy again.

Others couldn't recognize him, but he knew clearly that the little brother definitely had a good foundation in lightness kung fu.

It's just Xiyang Town, when did such a capable person come?
