Without brown rice, the porridge is thick and sticky.

It also has a hint of sweetness.

The side dish for the porridge is blanched mushroom shreds.

Just a little lard and salt.

Light but refreshing.

"Grandma, there's a big pot of meat. I've cut off the fat and will use it to make oil later. What should I do with the remaining lean meat? Have you eaten it all?"

Qian Xile asked Zhang Jinlan.

"It's getting hot, and I'm afraid the raw meat will go bad if left overnight. So, pick out a small piece and I'll send it to the next door later. She helped our family a lot some time ago and even let you stay for several days. Although she gave you eggs, you have to repay the favor.

The rest will be cooked in two batches. Our family will enjoy a satisfying meal. We will have wild vegetable dumplings for lunch. We will go to the inner area to dig wild vegetables later. In the evening, we will fry the remaining meat with pickled vegetables. The pickled vegetables have a lot of salt, so if we can’t eat them all, we can keep them until tomorrow.”

Zhang Jinlan thought about it and said to her granddaughter-in-law.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

In less than a quarter of an hour, she came out carrying a piece of meat.

There is only about half a pound of lean meat.

A hole was drilled on top and a straw was passed through the hole.

Just enough to carry by hand.

So as to avoid getting your hands greasy.

Seeing this, Zhang Jinlan drank the rest of the porridge in one breath, put the bowl on the windowsill, and went out with the meat.

"Sister Chunxia, ​​are you awake?"

The door next door was open.

Zhang Jinlan first shouted inside.

Just stepped in.

"I woke up and was just about to have breakfast. What's wrong? What do you want from me?"

Ma Chunxia came out from the kitchen.

He was holding a bowl in his hand.

It was filled with thin brown rice porridge.

"Well, my son went to town yesterday and happened to see the butcher's shop reducing prices. Although it was all lean meat, it was half the price. He thought it was a good deal, so he bought a pound. I saw that he came back too late and it was already dark, so I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't deliver it to your door. So, I delivered it to you early in the morning. We will each take half."

Zhang Jinlan made up a reason.

After saying that, she handed over the meat.

Said with a smile.

"I don't want it. You can take it home. I can't eat such good meat for free. I don't want to receive something without merit."

Ma Chunxia waved her hands repeatedly.

Refuse to take it.

"You let my granddaughter-in-law stay with me for several days before, and I haven't thanked you yet. Don't be so quick to refuse. Our two families live close to each other and visit each other often. In the village, I am the only one who gets along well with you. In the future, if I need your help again, you must help me."

It took Zhang Jinlan several words of persuasion before Ma Chunxia accepted it.

"Okay, I won't be polite then. Don't worry, if you need my help in the future, just ask and I will definitely help if I can."

Ma Chunxia has always been enthusiastic.

What's more, Zhang Jinlan also brought some meat.

"Okay, have breakfast first, I'm going back."

After Zhang Jinlan left.

Ma Chunxia took the meat into the kitchen with an excited look on her face.

At noon, the smell of meat wafted from the chimneys of both houses.

"Grandma, what is tea?"

After taking a nap.

Jiang Fubao sat in the yard, swinging his legs, and asked grandma.

"Where did Fubao hear that?"

No one at home drinks tea, it's such a precious thing.

How did the granddaughter know?

Zhang Jinlan was very confused.

"Grandma, you're stupid. Last time we went to town, it was Grandma who told me that this was a teahouse and that the tea they drank cost a lot of money to buy. Have you forgotten that, Grandma?"

Jiang Fubao was very upset.

Grandma has a really bad memory.

"There have been so many things going on lately that I forgot. Tea is made by soaking it in water and it tastes bitter. Fubao definitely doesn't like it. I've never drunk it either. We don't have any tea mountains here.

I heard that tea is abundant in the south. After picking the tea, fry it and soak it in water, it has a fragrant aroma. However, tea is only drunk by the rich, and we can’t afford it.”

Zhang Jinlan spoke in a soft voice.

"Grandma, Fubao saw a shop the other day. There were beautiful little pots and cups with flowers on them. Is that expensive?"

Jiang Fubao did this to elicit the purpose.

continued.

"Tsk tsk, it must be expensive. Fubao must be talking about porcelain. Let's not talk about the carved ones. Even the inferior coarse porcelain is too expensive for our family. I'm afraid the carved ones will cost at least seven or eight taels of silver."

Zhang Jinlan recalled the scene of that day.

Sighed.

"Then I'll give Fubao to Grandma too. Grandma, just wait. It will be there when you wake up tomorrow."

Jiang Fubao showed a triumphant smile.

She shook her little head and ran to the backyard.

The chicks are just cute.

During this period, she spent the most time playing with the chickens.

"This kid..."

Looking at her granddaughter's happy appearance, Zhang Jinlan smiled helplessly.

I always ask the immortals to send things to me, and I don’t know if they will be angry.

That's it.

Let her be. How would a child know these things? Even if the immortal is angry, I won’t send you away in the future.

Nothing.

After all, the family raised a lot of chickens, which gave them some income, and she also saved some money.

No more worries about not having enough to eat.

At night, Jiang Fubao took out the tea set and placed it on the table in the room.

The next day she got up late on purpose.

Let grandma come to the room and call her.

As soon as you open the door.

Zhang Jinlan saw the tea set.

Even though she has seen it so many times, she still finds it magical.

"Wow, this little pot is only the size of a palm, and the flowers on it are painted just like the real thing. It's really beautiful. It must be something used by immortals. If it is sold, it will be worth a lot of money."

Zhang Jinlan held the teapot carefully.

Afraid of falling.

"Grandma, do you want to sell it? Then go ahead and sell it."

Jiang Fubao was very generous this time.

She took out the tea set just to get her family to sell it.

"Okay, I was thinking that since Fubao gave me something for the first time, I would keep it well, but we can't afford tea, so I'll just sell it. I'll save some money and find a handsome young man for Fubao in the future."

After saying this, Zhang Jinlan took the teapot away, leaving Jiang Fubao feeling extremely embarrassed.

Grandma thinks a lot.

She is only three years old!

After a while.

Zhang Jinlan prepared to go to town with her two sons.

Tea sets are precious.

To avoid being robbed on the way or being cheated when selling tea sets.

She had to take her two fierce-looking sons with her.

As for her youngest son Jiang Siyin, he was never in her consideration.

Among the three sons, the youngest one is the most handsome.

Not scary at all.

Instead, he seems a bit bookish.

Unfortunately, there is no money at home.

My youngest son only knows a few words, which is less than the size of two palms.

What a waste of his good looks.

If he put on a brocade robe, walked on the street, and waved his small folding fan, I don't know how many girls would be stunned by him.

Zhang Jinlan shook her head regretfully.

He looked at his youngest son deeply.

Jiang Siyin was completely confused.

Is his mother so happy that she has gone crazy?

"Grandma, I want to go too." Jiang Fubao said, raising his head.

There are also bowls and plates in the space, all made of white porcelain. If they are expensive, she will take them out slowly later.

Sadly, those have all been used.

I don't know if I can sell it second-hand.

So in order to understand the market situation, she has to keep up.
