"Boss, give me 5 pounds of pork fat and 2 pounds of pork belly."

"Hello!" the butcher greeted warmly.

Looking at the things on the shop, "Uncle, how much are the bones?"

In this life, her height is her weakness, so she needs to drink more bone soup to make up for it.

"There's no meat on these bones. Three for 5 cents!"

"Where's the pigskin?"

"Pig skin? It's not worth much. It's 2 cents. You can take it all!" The butcher said generously. It's not that a rich man said he didn't want the pig skin. He usually wouldn't separate the meat from the skin. Otherwise, who would want to eat the skin?

Lin Xiaomi looked at the pig skin and swallowed her saliva. The pig skin can be fried in oil or made into pig skin jelly, which are both delicious.

"What do you want these pig skins for? Pig skins are difficult to roast and don't have the aroma of meat. Let's buy meat today!" Lin Dashan reminded.

"Dad, buy it, buy it, it's so cheap, I want to eat it! Let mom try it when I get home, maybe it will taste good!"

When Lin Dashan heard his daughter say she wanted to eat, he didn't hesitate. He waved his hand and said, "It's only 2 cents. If the child wants to eat, she has to buy it."

After buying the meat, I went to buy three laying hens. After discussing with Wang yesterday, I decided to buy laying hens directly so that I can still have chickens to eat during the Chinese New Year. I will raise chicks in the spring of next year.

Now they have nothing at home. Although Old Man Lin said that they can eat whatever vegetables they want from the vegetable garden, Wang went to pick them a few times, but after being squeezed out by the two sisters-in-law, she stopped going. Recently, they usually eat wild vegetables dug from the mountains.

Lin Dashan bought some green vegetables, cabbage, radish, peppers, leeks, etc. Then he went to buy some seasonings such as aerobic sauce and vinegar. He also bought a bag of cakes that Hongzao liked.

On the way back, he saw a cloth shop and thought of his daughter, who had never worn new clothes since she was born. He felt very sad. He took Xiaomi and walked into the cloth shop.

"Sir, please come this way!"

When the waiter sees people, he warmly invites them into the store.

"Excuse me, sir, what kind of cloth would you like to buy?"

"Coarse cloth, dark, and muslin, for children."

The waiter glanced at Lin Xiaomi and said, "Sir, do you think this one is okay?"

Lin Dashan looked at the dark brown coarse cloth and was satisfied. It was stain-resistant and suitable for work.

"Miss, do you think this is okay? This scarlet color is the best for your skin tone. It's bright and will look really good on your child!"

Lin Dashan's eyes were dazzled by the bright red color. It was so beautiful. He had never worn such a bright color when he got married. He immediately decided, "This color, buy a set for the child. Buy two sets of coarse cloth for the adults."

"Okay, sir, the coarse cloth is 16 wen a foot, the fine cotton cloth is 25 wen a foot, and the discounted price is 550 wen!" The waiter smiled so hard that his teeth were not visible. He didn't expect that he could make such a big deal in such a short time. This country guy is really straightforward!

Lin Dashan paid the money and left with Lin Xiaomi.

Lin Xiaomi, who was invisible the entire time, shuddered as she thought about the glowing red color on her body. Her father's eyes were really...

"Xiaomi, let's go, Dad will take you to eat big meat buns!" In his heart, the best thing in the county is big meat buns. A few years ago, when he and his father Lin Mutu were out on business, his father bought two for him. He took a bite and his mouth was full of oil. He will never forget the taste!

"I don't want to eat buns, Dad, please treat me to wontons!"

Lin Xiaomi was envious of the wontons on the roadside; she wanted to taste the flavor of ancient street snacks.

"Okay, let's eat wontons." Lin Dashan said generously.

A bowl of wontons costs 10 cents, and I ordered two bowls. The wontons filled with meat were gently swaying in the bowl, and the bowl of wontons was full and sprinkled with chopped green onions, which looked very appetizing.

After taking a bite, his mouth was filled with delicious flavor. "Mmm, delicious!" Lin Xiaomi ate with relish, his eyes narrowed into slits, "Dad, eat quickly!"

"okay!"

Lin Dashan was a rough man. He finished the bowl of wontons in a few mouthfuls. Then he ate up the remaining half bowl of wontons by Lin Xiaomi, including the soup.

This amount of food is really not enough for a man to be full. He is reluctant to spend money on it, and it will be the same if he eats it at home.

"Let's go home!"

"Dad, please buy some buns for Mom!"

This girl really won't eat alone. She always thinks about her and her husband. Except for the fact that the baby is not a boy, she is really good in every way.

"Okay, let's buy some meat buns and eat together tonight."

"Uh-huh!"

10 meat buns were stuffed into the basket. "My daughter, should Dad carry you home, or should you take the village ox cart back?"

Lin Xiaomi was conflicted. She didn't want to go home in the same car with the women in the village because they talked too much. But sitting in the basket made her feel that her father had to work hard.

When Lin Dashan saw her conflicted look, he stopped talking and directly carried her into the bamboo basket, picking up the goods and his daughter at the same time.

"Let's go, let's go home!"

I was touched. This father is really a good person. He doesn't favor boys over girls at all and has been really good to her over the years.

..............................

"Mom, we're back!"

"Have you eaten? There's still rice in the pot. I'll go heat it up for you two!"

"Then Mom, heat up a bowl for Dad. I'm full. Mom, I brought you some big meat buns!"

"You're wasting money!" Wang scolded. She squatted down and looked through the things in the basket. "Oh, there are so many things!"

"Mom, Dad bought you some cloth to make clothes. I have some too, and the red one is mine!"

"This color of cloth is so beautiful, just like the sun in the sky." Wang thought back to when she got married. Because her family was poor, her dowry consisted of only a wooden box and she didn't even have a red veil.

As expected, the ancients liked bright colors! Xiaomi complained in her heart. "Mom, it's beautiful. I'll buy you one next time. It will definitely look good on you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm already so old!"

Putting away the cloth, Wang took the dish to the kitchen, "Why is there such a big piece of pig skin?"

"I asked my father to buy it for me. It only costs 2 cents for so much."

"It's cheap, but the pig skin is not tasty and hard to cook. It's useless. Didn't your father buy pork belly?"

"Mom, I asked Dad to buy it. It's useful."

Well, Wang stopped asking. Anyway, her daughter had all kinds of ideas since she could speak. She was very smart, especially when it came to food. She was very creative.
