Chapter 9

Siya and Liuya each dug most of the basket in the afternoon, and the eldest sister was quicker with her hands and feet, digging the most among the five.Seeing that it was almost time, I went home.

When I got home, it was almost dark.Song's second child and fourth child have returned.

Siya and Liuya were delighted to see her father and fourth uncle back.Quickly ask what is the harvest today.

Song Lao Er smiled and said: "Today, your fourth uncle and I had better luck. We hunted two pheasants and a rabbit. We will sell the game tomorrow and buy some meat. Let's have a good New Year."

The two of them were also happy when they heard that they had gained something. "Father, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Sister and I went to dig some ear roots and came back. I'll serve cold salad for you later."

The fourth child was very happy when he heard that Liuya was going to get food for them, "Liuya, go get it quickly, your father and I are already hungry."

Liuya saw how cute her fourth uncle was, so she smiled and said, "Fourth uncle, don't worry, I won't starve you." After speaking, she asked Siya to help wash the broken ears.

The root of the folded ear was dug out from the ground, and it would not be clean if it was not washed carefully.Siya and Liuya washed the Zheer root five or six times before they were considered finished.After washing, they carefully selected and selected all the grass.Then I washed it again and it was good.

The ingredients at home are limited, so I only put some salt, garlic and vinegar.If there is monosodium glutamate, Chinese prickly ash and sea pepper, sugar, these will be more delicious.There are only these ingredients at home, and they can only eat as they go.

Liuya reheated the leftover corn paste from noon today, and asked Song Lao Er and Lao Si to have dinner.

Song Lao Er and Lao Si folded their ears with corn paste, and ate two large bowls before they were full.Seeing that they were eating happily, Siya and Liuya wanted to eat too.Then he went to get the chopsticks again, and kept pinching the roots of his ears to eat.Although the taste is almost, but still very fragrant.

The four of them put down their chopsticks after finishing eating half of the basin.

"Liuya, when you have free time, go dig some more. There are few vegetables in this winter, and this Zhe Ergen is not only suitable for food, but also appetizing." Song Lao Er touched his mouth twice and said.

"Okay, anyway, I have nothing to do in winter, so I'll go out and dig some more." Liuya loves this, so of course she has no objection to Song Laoer's suggestion. "By the way, Dad, are you going to the town with your fourth uncle tomorrow? Can you take me and my fourth sister there? My fourth sister and I have never been to the town before?"

After Song Laoer heard this, he looked at Liuya and the others with some embarrassment.He really wanted to take his two daughters there, but his mother might not agree.

"Second brother, take Liuya and the others tomorrow, anyway, the family is fine now." The fourth child did not think as much as Song's second child.

"Thank you, Uncle Fourth." Siya and Liuya quickly thanked the fourth brother when they heard that the fourth brother had agreed.Seeing that the fourth child had already agreed, the second son of Song couldn't say anything, but told them not to sleep in late tomorrow, but to get up earlier.

Of course Siya and Liuya agreed without hesitation.

At night, when the other sisters knew that Si Ya and Liu Ya were going to the town tomorrow, they were very envious and wanted to follow.However, bringing two of them already made things difficult for Song Lao Er, so adding a few more would definitely not work.He promised to have a chance and take them there next time.Only then did everyone stop thinking about it.

The next day, Liuya got up early.After packing himself up, he went to the door with Song Laoer and the others.When Song Zhang knew it, they had already gone a long way.

Since the Song family was going to sell game, they went out early.Si Ya and Zhang Damei made an appointment yesterday, but they couldn't keep the appointment.

Liuya didn't feel cold when rushing on the road in this winter, her whole body was very warm walking on the road.After walking for about half an hour, we reached the town.Although it was still early, there were many people in the market.

"Father, where are we going to sell this wild game?" Liu Ya asked as she watched the people coming and going.

"All the game that we usually hunt in our village is sent to Huibin Building, and we will send it there too." After Song Laoer finished speaking, he asked Siya and Liuya to follow Lao Si to wait for him here, and he would come back after delivering the game. .After speaking, he left with the game.

After a while, Song Laoer came back. "Second brother, how much did you sell for?" The fourth child asked quickly when he saw Song's second child.

"Pheasant is 33 Wen a catty, and the rabbit is more expensive and costs 220 Wen a catty. I bought a total of [-] Wen Wen." Song Lao Er said with a smile.

The fourth child was also very happy to hear that.Liuya didn't know the price of these things, but seeing the smiles on the faces of Song Lao Er and Lao Si, she knew that they must have sold for a good price.

"Father, what are we doing now?" Si Ya asked quickly, not interested in these things.

"I have to buy a few catties of meat to go home for the New Year, and I also need to buy some fine noodles to go home. I have to eat dumplings in the first grade of junior high school." Song Lao Er thought for a while and replied.

Song Laoer and Liuya went to buy meat, and Laosi and Siya went to buy flour, and they will meet here later.For others, the four of them walked to the center of the market.

The shops on both sides of this street send away groups of people who go to the market.This small town is not as clean and tidy as the streets in big towns, and the shops are not only big but also prosperous and bright.The streets of this small town are narrow bluestone roads. Although the road is clean, the shops on both sides are of different heights, which makes it feel a bit messy.But although it is messy, everything for sale is complete.

Although it was still very early, the fat meat on the butcher stall was almost sold out, leaving only some thinner meat on the stall.At this time, those who buy meat usually choose the fattest and fattest meat, so that it can not only kill gluttony, but also boil some oil for cooking.So this fat meat is the best seller.The thinner ones are not so easy to sell.

Song Laoer saw that there was no meat he wanted, so he hesitated to buy it.

"Brother, if you want to buy it, I'll count it cheaper for you, twenty cents a catty, you don't think so." The pork seller saw that Song Lao Er didn't want to buy it, so he hurriedly said.

"This is too thin, can't it be less?" Song Lao Er still hesitated.

"Brother, this kind of meat usually sells for 21 yuan a catty, and this twenty yuan a catty is the cheapest for you." Although the boss said so, Song Laoer still didn't believe it.But if you don't buy it today, the price of this meat may increase again in a few days. If it really grows, it won't be worth it at all.

"Father, just buy this." This meat is both fat and thin, but Liu Ya's favorite.

Seeing that Liu Ya had been staring at the meat, Song Laoer thought her daughter was greedy, so he said cruelly, "Boss, then cut five catties off for me."

When Liuya heard it, everyone would only buy five catties of meat for the Chinese New Year, which would be enough to eat here and there.Even so, she also knew that her family was poor, so Liu Ya didn't clamor for Song Laoer to buy more.

Seeing that the business was completed, the boss immediately weighed it happily.Five catties of meat is worth one hundred Wen.

"Uncle, how did you sell this pig's head?" Liuya asked, pointing at the pig's head.

"That pig's head was originally ten fen a piece, if you want it, you can give it eight fen."

Liuya sighed that it was too cheap, but her face didn't show it, "Uncle, my family bought so much from you, can't you take less? If you buy less, in the future, if my family buys meat, it will come to you." You come here to buy."

"Big brother, you girl can really talk." The pork boss smiled, "Okay, I'll give you a little less, seven fen a piece, this is the lowest price, and there can be no less."

"Uncle, how are those bones sold?" Liuya asked again, pointing to the pile of bones.

"This bone was taken back to feed the dog. If you want it, I will give it to you without any money."

Liuya's face turned dark when she heard that, and she felt that the blackness of this era is really very happy.Still, she was happy to get so many bones for free.

Liuya was happy, but Song Laoer was not. Liuya bought a pig's head with a few words.Mrs. Song and Zhang already had something to say about buying this kind of meat back, and if they bought another pig's head back now, they would definitely be scolded.

"Liu Ya, we've already bought things, let's go back." Song Laoer was afraid of staying any longer, as this girl didn't know what she would buy when she came back.

"Father, wait a little longer." At this moment, Liu Ya really discovered the baby, how could she listen to Song's second child. "Uncle, have you sold your pig intestines, pig belly, pig heart, and pig tongue?"

When the pork boss heard it, he was happy.I thought this girl was smart, but I didn't expect this girl to want things that others don't want. If I can buy them, I can earn a few pennies. "No, where is it all? If you want it, I'll give you all five cents. I have two pigs here. You've earned money today, little girl."

"Uncle, don't lie to me, you can't sell this thing at all. I'm kind enough to help you, don't lie to me." Liuya said dissatisfied.

"You girl! Forget it, let's count it as your three pennies. But, you can buy meat from me in the future." The pork boss laughed.Three articles are three articles, anyway, three articles are also profitable.

"Uncle, don't worry, my family will come to you as long as they buy meat. Dad, you can pay, I'm done." Liu Ya bought what she wanted, and there was no need to control Master Song's black face.

Song Lao Er had no choice but to pay the money with a dark face.
