I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

A pound of pork belly cost 15 cents, and two pounds cost 30 cents.

Because they arrived early, there was still a lot of meat. The piece she chose was fat and lean, and looked excellent.

There was still plenty of salt and oil at home, so Xu Si bought some soy sauce, pepper powder, vinegar and sugar at the grocery store.

Soy sauce and vinegar were sold individually, so she bought two small porcelain bottles and put them directly in.

The reason why the family didn't buy these was because Lou Yuexin and others didn't know how to cook and didn't know how to use them. Except for the chefs in restaurants and dignitaries' homes, most people nowadays don't know how to use them, and few people buy them. The prices are also higher, so we spent a total of 16 cents.

Thinking of the spices essential for cooking meat, she didn't see them in the grocery store. After listening to her description, the owner recommended that she buy them at the pharmacy.

After the kind-looking doctor packed her medicine, he considered that the herbs she bought were a bit mixed and perhaps was afraid that they would harm people, so he told her not to eat anything else before leaving.

There was no shortage of common medicinal materials in this era, but the preparation process was complicated, so it was not expensive, but not cheap either. She bought some star anise, fennel, bay leaves, cinnamon, etc., spending a total of 40 coins.

How can you eat braised pork without rice? Just imagine pouring the braised pork soup on the rice, mixing it well, and putting the meat and rice into your mouth at the same time, Xu Si felt that his saliva was about to flow down.

"I want 50 kilograms of refined rice."

"Okay, sir. One pound is 10 wen, which makes a discount of 500 wen." The shopkeeper calculated mentally and happily asked his clerk to pack the rice.

This is a big customer. Almost no one in the West District buys so much refined rice at one time. I didn’t expect that this young lady, whose clothes are not very good, is actually quite rich.

The shopkeeper had a long beard and chatted with her with a smile.

"How are you going to take it away, young lady? Do you want someone to come and get it, or do you want us to deliver it? If you do, we'll have to pay an extra 3 cents."

"I'll take it myself."

Money should be spent wisely. Not to mention that she has the ability to take it away now, even if she doesn't have the ability, she would never spend those three cents. Money should be saved where possible and spent where necessary.

Besides, if she hadn't had the money from selling her wedding dress, she would never have been so extravagant as to buy this and that.

Before the shopkeeper could realize what she meant by taking it away by herself, a waiter came over carrying the packed rice.

Xu Si paid the money and left with the rice in the shocked eyes of the shopkeeper and the waiter.

When I got home, it was already noon and Lou Yuexin was cooking in the kitchen.

Qi Ning came over when he heard the voice, "Second Aunt, what did you buy?"

There was curiosity in his eyes, but not a trace of greed.

"I bought some meat and will make you delicious meat tonight. Are you happy?" Xu Si touched Qi Ning's head and walked into the kitchen.

Lou Yuexin and Su Jinyue were in the kitchen and also heard Xu Si's answer.

"A Si, where did you get the money to buy so many things?" Lou Yuexin looked at the rice and meat she brought back, as well as the many bottles and jars she didn't recognize, and felt a little confused.

"Mom, I sold my wedding dress." Xu Si put the things away without much care.

Lou Yuexin and Su Jinyue both felt nervous.

"Why did you sell it? It was the only thing you brought from the capital."

"It's useless anyway, so why not exchange it for some money to improve the food for the family. Qi Ning has lost some weight these days," Xu Si pinched the little guy's face, he looked much thinner than when they first met.

"It's fine for us, but Qinghuan is weak. I saw her swallowing very slowly when she ate. I guess she's not used to eating coarse rice and coarse noodles."

Xu Si herself actually felt a little sore in the throat. This was made by mixing coarse and fine noodles. If she only ate coarse noodles, she felt she would starve to death.

Lou Yuexin was silent for a while. She had seen the appearance of her daughter and grandson. In fact, it was not just the children, the adults too did not look very energetic.

Shen Qinghuan was about to enter the kitchen when she heard her second sister-in-law's words. She took a step back and felt a little sad.

Su Jinyue saw that the atmosphere was a little sad and changed the subject, "The meal is ready, let's eat first."

The lunch was the same old steamed corn bread and boiled wild vegetables. Compared with yesterday, everyone had a hard time eating and put down their chopsticks after not eating much.

Shen Yanchen originally wanted to complain a few words, but when he saw his mother's ugly expression, he tactfully shut up.

Seeing that he wanted to run away after finishing his meal, Xu Si pulled him back and said, "You should deliver the meal today."

After he left with the lunch box, Lou Yuexin asked Xu Si to come to her room.

Xu Si took out the remaining silver and prepared to give it to Lou Yuexin.

Unexpectedly, Lou Yuexin actually pushed it back to her.

"You keep this. I didn't ask you to pay for it. It's yours originally. How can I take it?"

She took Xu Si's hand and sat down, her eyes full of heartache and pity.

A wedding dress is an important item for a woman. She will only have one in her lifetime and it will be preserved to represent a smooth marriage.

But because of this incident, they didn’t know where the wedding dress they had originally preserved went.

In her eyes, Xu Si sold her important wedding dress for them. How could she not be moved? She must have made a great determination before selling it.

Xu Si sat quietly. If she knew what her mother was thinking, she would definitely think she was overthinking.

Not to mention that the wedding dress was nothing to her, and the wedding dress didn't actually belong to her completely. Its real owner was Xu Jiaojiao. If there was any unhappy marriage, it should be hers.

Lou Yuexin stood up, took out a neatly folded handkerchief from the cabinet, and slowly opened it. Inside was all her belongings, four or five silver ingots, some change, and some copper coins.

She took out a piece of silver and put it in Xu Si's palm. "Take this money. I don't know if it's enough for today's expenses. Mother can't let you pay."

"I don't want it. We are all family. It doesn't matter whose money we spend." Xu Si refused. Originally, she was willing to spend it. Now that she saw her mother-in-law was so sensible, she was even more willing to do so.

Many times, daughters-in-law are willing to spend money on the family, but the other party must be grateful, and the efforts should be two-way. No one wants to be taken advantage of.

The two of them argued for a while, and finally Xu Si accepted it.

In the afternoon, I don’t know why, but I always felt that Qinghuan was more clingy than usual, and Qi Ning kept circling around them.

She couldn't help but ask, "Qing Huan, is there something wrong with you?"

"No, why do you ask?" The little girl looked clear and smiling.

Xu Si didn't notice anything and felt relieved. "Just tell your second sister-in-law if you have anything to say. She will definitely help you."

The little girl is well-behaved and cute, and she is very likable to look at.

Xu Si is an only child and has only one cousin, who lives far away from her and is of a different gender, so they basically don't communicate.

Suddenly I have such a little sister, and I still love her very much.
