Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying
Chapter 16: Changing Meat
soon.
The sun has set.
Jiang Dahe rushed back with his younger brother and sons.
Because no villagers in Jiangjia Village raise cattle.
So there are no ox carts to ride in the village.
If you want to go to town, you can only walk there. If you want to go to a farther place, you have to walk to the town and rent a ox cart.
Very troublesome.
"Hey, dad, what's wrong? Did you pick up some silver on the way back? Look, your mouth is almost crooked from smiling."
Sun Pingmei, leaning against the kitchen door, saw that everyone had a smile on their face.
Joking with curiosity.
"That's about right." Jiang Eryong kept it a secret.
"What? Did you really pick up some silver? How much? Where did you find it?" Sun Pingmei's eyes widened instantly. She rushed to the door, grabbed Jiang Eryong's sleeve and asked hurriedly, looking extremely excited.
"You really believe it? Tell me what's wrong with your brain. I'm really afraid that our two sons will take after you, and then they will be too stupid to find wives. Then everything will be over." Jiang Eryong felt helpless.
To put it nicely, his wife is innocent.
To put it bluntly, he is both stupid and greedy.
However, his wife still has many advantages. She is filial to her parents-in-law, works hard, and is a kind person.
Once the two offset each other, the conflict will disappear.
"The pigeon eggs that Fubao picked up were sold at a high price. These pigeon eggs are very valuable, even higher than the price Aunt Chunxia next door said. There were eight in total, and they were sold for a full four hundred coins!"
Jiang Eryong didn't dare to joke anymore.
He was afraid that his wife would take it seriously.
"What the hell? Four hundred coins? Mom, did you hear that? Four hundred coins! Such a small bird egg is sold for fifty coins each, and chicken eggs are only two coins each! Are these landlords crazy? Or do they have too much money to spend? They spend four hundred coins to buy eight bird eggs. If this was my son, I would beat his ass to pieces. This is not how you make money."
Sun Pingmei opened her mouth wide in surprise.
It can even fit eggs.
"Mom, what does it have to do with me? Why are you hitting me?" Jiang Tonghuo, who was chopping wood at the side, was speechless.
He was scolded for no reason.
"You kid, mother is just assuming, why are you so stupid, you must be like your father."
Sun Pingmei's words had just fallen.
The father and son looked at each other, and Jiang Eryong and Jiang Tonghuo sighed together.
"Yahe, do you take your second brother's words seriously?" Zhang Jinlan, who was sitting and resting in the main room, also came out. In this family, she only believed what her honest and upright eldest son said.
After all, her second and youngest sons were usually slick and always making jokes. They were habitual offenders and she couldn't trust them.
"What my second brother said is true. Eight pigeon eggs were sold for 40 coins. I heard that these are wild pigeon eggs, which are rare and very nutritious. Many wealthy families like to eat them. Before I even mentioned the price, a steward bought them all. By the way, mother, the price of meat has also increased. It is coins per catty. I bought a catty and had coins left. Add the coins we paid for moving the grain bags, and the total is coins. Mother, please count."
As the boss.
He is in charge of the money every time.
Jiang Dahe took the purse off his waist and handed it to his mother.
Zhang Jinlan took it quickly and weighed the purse. It was heavy.
"I won't count, you've always been reliable. Go to the house and have a rest. I'll go cook."
"Daddy, daddy, let me see the backpack." Jiang Fubao took advantage of the time when grandma and uncle were talking.
She tugged at her father's clothes and acted coquettishly, asking to see the backpack.
Jiang Siyin, a crazy dote on his baby, immediately put down the backpack.
Jiang Fubao lifted the green leaves covering the meat, bent down to block the backpack, and while touching the meat, she took the opportunity to exchange the meat in the space with the meat in the backpack.
Finished the meat.
She skipped to wash her hands.
"Hey, why is this meat so heavy? It must be more than one pound. It's almost two pounds. Why is it still so wet? Did you wash it with water?"
Zhang Jinlan, who was about to use the meat to cook, noticed that the weight was wrong.
She has lived almost half her life.
You can feel the weight with your bare hands, and it’s always accurate.
She looked at her sons with confusion on her face.
"No, we have nothing to do, why would we wash it with water? Let me take a look." Jiang Siyin was puzzled.
He has always been the one carrying the backpack.
It didn't rain on the road.
From the meat stall until I get home.
Never touched water.
How can I wash it with water?
He was somewhat skeptical of his mother's words.
"Weigh it and see if it's two kilograms. I can't lie to you. Yamato, did you buy the wrong one? This meat is more than one kilogram."
Zhang Jinlan slapped her youngest son on the head and handed him the meat.
Then he asked his eldest son.
"No, the meat weighed one pound when I received it. It couldn't possibly have become heavier."
Jiang Dahe was also confused.
"Wow, it's definitely more than a pound, it's pretty heavy, big brother, take a look."
Jiang Siyin passed the meat to Jiang Dahe.
Jiang Dahe then passed the meat to his biological father Jiang Shoujia.
Until the Jiang family members stood in the yard, staring at the meat in confusion.
Jiang Fubao then spoke slowly in a childish voice.
"Grandma, I'm hungry."
"Oh, it's getting dark. I'm going to cook. The meat is getting heavier. Maybe the butcher made a mistake. He got the short end of the stick. We got nearly two pounds for the price of one pound. I'll cut the fat and make lard. The lard residue is also a dish. I'll stir-fry some pickled vegetables and meat slices. Oh, there's also wild chicken soup on the kitchen stove. We drank it at noon. The remaining chicken soup is for the five of you, but the chicken leg has to be left for Fubao."
When Zhang Jinlan heard her granddaughter crying out for hunger, she didn't think any more about it.
Anyway, we won’t suffer any loss if we have more meat.
The butcher shop is at a loss.
Why does she worry so much?
The extra pound of meat can be used to make lard, and the lard made before the New Year is almost gone.
What a lucky day today.
Not only did they catch the pheasant, they also got the upper hand.
It seems like ever since my granddaughter woke up from falling into the water.
Everything goes smoothly for the Jiang family.
Zhang Jinlan's mouth widened more and more.
She picked up the pork and went into the kitchen.
"What's going on? Where did the pheasant come from?" Jiang Eryong looked at Sun Pingmei.
"Fubao heard a bird chirping and pulled his mother to look for it. When they got there, his mother discovered that it was not a bird at all, but a lame pheasant. This creature can't fly high, so it can only run fast. Its legs are lame, so it is naturally easy to catch. Look, we all had lunch at noon and each of us had a piece of chicken. As for the rest in the pot, my mother said she will give it to you when you come back in the evening. Dad, please give me some chicken soup."
Sun Pingmei sucked her saliva.
She spoke softly and acted coquettishly to Jiang Eryong.
"Why am I so frightened? Speak to me nicely. The children are watching us. Aren't you ashamed? You are almost thirty years old, but why are you so greedy every day? Fortunately, our son is not old enough to get married, otherwise if he were seen by his daughter-in-law, she would laugh at you."
Jiang Eryong shuddered.
As an old couple, why are you acting like a spoiled brat?
He gave Sun Pingmei a look and quickly went back to the house.
