The beauty of the lady

Chapter 10

Aunt Hua was spitting all over this long passage, and Zhou Yuzhu, who was driving the car in front, kept shaking his head and smiling wryly.

"You, just say a few words, there are still children here."

Only then did Aunt Hua turn her head to look at Zhou Mei who was huddled in her fat cotton-padded coat, blinking her big watery eyes at her, she was immediately delighted, and then pulled Zhou Mei into her arms.

"Oh, sister Mei is so handsome. Fortunately, she looks like your mother. If she looks like your father, it will be amazing."

Zhou Mei couldn't help sighing in her heart, it seemed that she had to completely immerse her heart in a seven-year-old child, otherwise it was unknown if people would really see her flaws.

It's just that I'm really awkward in my heart. Unless it's in the company or when negotiating, she will be eloquent. Usually, except for the old man and the younger brother, she is too lazy to speak. There are only two girlfriends, and they met when they were in Cambridge. The two princesses of the prince's family of the British royal family, after the two married one after another, they just contacted on the phone. In fact, thinking about themselves is really pitiful.

It only takes half an hour to go to the town by donkey cart, and when we got there, it was just dawn, and there were not many people on the street, only some shops in the town had just opened, and the other was early Someone fried noodle fish fritters or something.

As for the stalls, there are a dozen or so stalls, selling eggs, cabbage and radishes, and some mountain products from the hunters.

Zhou Yuzhu waited for the three to get out of the car, then drove the donkey cart and parked it somewhere, while Aunt Hua went for a stroll with Zhou Zhouzhuang, and she didn't forget to hold Zhou Mei to prevent her from getting lost.

On Wednesday Zhuang asked Zhou Mei: "Sister Mei, what do we want to buy at home?"

Zhou Mei looked at the egg seller over there, pointed and said, "Let's wait to buy some eggs, Aunt Hua, can you help my mother recover?"

"It's not possible to make up for it. Buy some when you leave, so as not to bump into each other." Aunt Hua nodded Zhou Mei's small nose and smiled.

The three continued to walk forward, and saw chickens, ducks and sheep on the stall over there.

Seeing that goat, Zhou Mei's watery eyes lit up immediately, she pulled Zhou Zhouzhuang over, squatted down and saw that the goat's breasts were big, it probably still had goat's milk, maybe she was too old to be picked up. sell.

Pointing to the sheep, she said to the stall owner, "Uncle, how do you sell this sheep?"

The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Mei's cute little appearance, and said with a smile, "I'll sell it for four dollars. It's an old sheep. I just gave birth to a lamb. If it's too old, I'll sell it."

Upon hearing the price, Zhou Mei really felt that it was not expensive, but their family really had no money, so looking at the huge goat's milk helplessly, she wondered how much it could squeeze out.

"Sister Mei, what do you buy sheep for? You can't give birth to cubs, even if you eat mutton, your mother's body can't stand it." Aunt Hua pointed to the old sheep and said: "Even if you want to eat it, you have to eat it." Eat tender ones."

Zhou Mei straightened up and said, "I just want some goat milk to cook for my mother. Uncle, can this old goat milk me?"

But before the stall owner could speak, Aunt Hua pulled her and said, "Oh, you child, why do you drink this goat milk? It tastes so strong. Your mother's body is weak, so the taste is probably unbearable. You should buy some. Others, like an old hen are very sweet."

Zhou Mei broke free from Aunt Huahua's hand, looked at the stall owner and said, "Uncle, how much milk can this old sheep produce?"

The stall owner looked at Lao Yang, thought for a while, and then made a gesture and said: "It can squeeze out such a big jar."

Zhou Mei looked at it and estimated it weighed a few catties, so she turned her head and said to Wednesday Zhuang: "Father, go to the shop and buy such a big jar, let's ask the uncle to help milk some goat milk, shall we?"

Zhou Zhuang looked at his daughter's big watery eyes, knowing that money was tight, but he didn't refuse. After thinking for three seconds, he went to the grocery store over there without saying a word.

Aunt Hua looked at the father and daughter, stomped her feet and didn't know what to say, but she couldn't leave Zhou Mei alone here, so she could only sigh in the end, thinking to herself that this girl really won't live.

Zhou Mei naturally didn't know what Aunt Hua was thinking, she squatted down and looked at the old sheep, and said with a smile: "Uncle, we will give you two copper coins, can you sell us the goat's milk?"

When the man heard it, his heart immediately became happy. How bad this goat milk is. He has raised sheep for 30 years, but he knows better than anyone else. , I didn't expect this girl to actually say to give herself two copper coins, which is not a profit.

Hearing this, he still had nothing to agree to, and then he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Aunt Hua watched from the side, her heart was not distressed, this girl is not in charge of the family and doesn't know that Chai Migui is expensive.

It's just that Zhou Zhuang went to buy jars, even if she said not to buy them now, she was really afraid that this little girl would feel uncomfortable.

It's as if my son fell in love with something fun, and he knew he wouldn't be able to play for long, but he still couldn't refuse.

Not long after, Wednesday Zhuang came over with a five-jin jar, and the stall owner took the jar and began to milk the goats. The smell quickly dissipated, but it also dissipated quickly in the cold wind. Looking at the almost full jar, Zhou Mei's expression suddenly showed a faint smile. After going home and cooking it, the mother can drink it, and Tang'er can also drink it. The first weaned child can't eat. I hope this will make him quiet down.

"Father, let's buy two more chickens to go home and make chicken soup for mother."

"Okay." Zhou Zhuang saw that the stall owner's chicken was still good, so he bought a big rooster and an old hen nearby. The old hen was going back to make soup and medicine for his wife, and the big cock was Keep it for the new year.

After buying, the three of them went to the butcher's shop. Zhou Mei wanted to make pork skin jelly this time, but she didn't know if the pork skin was expensive or not.

Aunt Hua happened to be selling meat too, so without saying anything, she helped them carry the two chickens and went together.

Butcher shops have always had a good business in ancient times. It was only in the morning, and there were five or six people waiting to buy meat in front of the shop.

I saw that the butcher was playing tricks with the bone-cutting sharp knife in his hand. Lean meat and fat meat were neatly cut, and lean meat was very cheap, only three copper coins per catty, and fat meat cost five copper coins.

Zhou Mei stood in front of the shop and looked around, and sure enough, she saw two unscalded black-haired pigskin quilts on one side, and some big stick bones and pig offal. These things were not inedible, but they were very expensive. It is cheap, and it is really difficult to cook, so if the family conditions are a little better, they are not willing to buy pigs and go back to the water.

Zhou Mei doesn't really like to eat, she can't stand the taste, although she also watched the maids of the Zhou family cook, and it tasted tasteless, and even ate a few mouthfuls with the old man, but after all, she couldn't imagine the food before cooking. look.
