Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

He thought these pig offal were too expensive even if they cost only a penny.

Seeing Su Zhiyan's actions, the owner of the pork stall was afraid that Su He would leave, so he quickly said:

"How about this, if you want all the fat and bones, I'll give you the offal as a bonus."

I was about to close the stall, so I might as well sell as much as I could. Besides, if I couldn't sell the offal, I would have to throw it away later, so I might as well give it to the girl as a favor.

Moreover, this little girl looks pitiful. She has been staring at the meat since she came here. I guess she is a child from a poor family.

Upon hearing this, Su He's eyes lit up instantly and he nodded continuously towards the meat stall owner.

What a good deal! The bones only cost her two cents. Others don't know how to cook these pig offal, but she can. Not to mention the fishy smell, the fragrance she makes will definitely make people dizzy.

"Thank you, uncle. Please weigh all the fat for me. I also want all the bones."

"Ah He..."

When Su Zhiyan heard Su He's words, he couldn't help but pull her sleeve, wanting to persuade her again.

It's ok to have fat meat, but there's no meat on the bones, and there's also these pig offal, this...

Is this edible? They carried it back from such a long distance.

"Hey... Hey, I'll weigh it for you right away."

The butcher was delighted when he heard Su He say that he wanted to take all the remaining pounds of fat and bones on the stall.

The weather is getting warmer now. If we can't sell all the meat today, it will be a waste to keep it. We can't eat so much at home, so the more we can sell, the better.

Unexpectedly, when Su He came today, he almost cleared out all the remaining items on his stall.

"Fat is four pounds and one ounce, so I'll give you four pounds. Bones are two cents, so the total is sixty-two cents."

Su He felt a pang of pain when giving the silver. Today, a pack of fruit rolls only sold for five cents, but now he gave out sixty-two cents in one go. This silver was really not enough to spend. He still had to buy some rice, flour and brown sugar later.

Seeing that Su He had paid the money, Su Zhiyan said nothing more. Fortunately, the bones were not expensive, and he didn't charge them for the pig offal. It was okay if it was hard to carry it back, as long as Su He was happy.

After buying the meat, the two went straight to the grain and oil shop.

After entering the shop, Su He looked at the wide variety of rice and flour in the store, so he asked the clerk beside him about the price.

The shop assistant looked at the two people in front of him. They were wearing clothes that were almost white from washing and had many patches on them. However, he did not look at them differently. Instead, he explained the prices to Su He in detail.

"This is polished rice for thirty cents, this is brown rice for five cents, over there is fine flour for thirty-two cents, and coarse flour for eight cents."

Su He was shocked after hearing this. It was too expensive. He had just earned some money and these rice and flour were not cheap.

She looked at the refined rice and fine noodles, but was reluctant to buy them. They tasted okay, but if she used the money to buy brown rice, it would be enough for their family to eat for many days.

Su He thought about it for a while, then looked up and said to the shop assistant:

"Then give me ten kilograms of brown rice and five kilograms of coarse flour."

When I get home, I can mix the brown rice with sweet potatoes and cook it together. It will be enough to last for a while.

When the waiter heard that Su He really wanted to buy something, he nodded repeatedly. He was very efficient and quickly weighed out everything Su He wanted.

"It's ninety cents in total."

Su He couldn't help feeling distressed as she paid the bill. She had earned some money with great difficulty, but now she had spent a lot of it.

But then she thought about the wild fruits in the mountains, and she could sell the dried fruits when she got them.

Thinking of this, I don’t feel so sad anymore.

The two bought rice and noodles, and then went to a nearby grocery store to buy some brown sugar, which was indispensable for making dried fruits.

After they both finished buying things, they looked at the sky and it was getting late.

"Let's go back. If we don't leave now, we might miss the ox cart."

If they couldn't catch up with the ox cart, they would have to walk back and it would probably be dark by then.

Su He nodded, and the two of them rushed towards the city gate. Fortunately, they caught up.

When the two arrived at the city gate, there were already a few people waiting on the ox cart. Old Man Wei was chatting with the people on the cart. When he turned around and saw the two, he smiled and told them to get on the cart quickly and he would go back soon.

Su Zhiyan was carrying a backpack, and fearing that the pig offal would smell bad, he let Su He get on the cart first. He then sat at the very edge of the cart to avoid any complaints from other people on the cart.

He was staggering again like he did when he came here, and by the time he got back to the next village, Su He's butt was almost numb from sitting.

The two drank some water on the side of the road and relaxed for a while before walking towards Yunli Village together.

When the two entered the village and were about to return to the Su family, Su He saw a small figure sitting by the courtyard gate from afar.

Su Zhiyan looked at it and was a little stunned.

"It seems to be Achi!"

Su He paused, took a closer look, and it seemed that it was indeed the younger brother, sitting on the stone steps at the gate of the courtyard, with his hands on his chin, in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Su He waved at him, "Achi!"

After saying that, he and Su Zhiyan quickened their pace and hurried home.

When Su Chi heard the familiar voice, he immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of the Su family, and saw two people walking towards him quickly.

"Sister, sister, it's sister who is back."

He shouted loudly and then ran into the yard.

"Grandpa, grandma, sister and uncle are back."

Seeing that the sun was about to set and Su He and Su Zhiyan had not returned home yet, the Su family was already getting anxious.

After finishing the work in the fields today, the family hurried back home. In the kitchen, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo were preparing dinner, while several men in the family were weaving bamboo baskets and backpacks in the yard.

As soon as they heard Su Chi's words, everyone put down their work, stood up and prepared to go to the door to take a closer look.

Su He and Su Zhiyan entered the yard breathlessly and quickly put the baskets on their backs under the eaves.

Su Chi quickly ran into the main room and poured two bowls of cold boiled water for the two of them.

Su He's throat was about to smoke at this time, and he didn't care about anything else. He took the water handed to him by Su Chi, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. He felt much better then.

Su He quickly took out everything in the backpack and brought the rice, flour and brown sugar into the house.

The fat and bones were taken into the kitchen, and the offal was placed in the yard and needed to be processed later to avoid any smell.

Old Man Su saw Su He took out a lot of things, including rice, flour and even meat, and asked hurriedly:

"Have you sold the dried fruits you brought out today?"

Old Lady Su gave Su He a few copper coins last night. He saw it. Those copper coins were at most enough for two people to take a ox cart back and forth and eat a few vegetarian buns. They could not buy so many things.
