Mo Rao looked at her sister-in-law's attitude. She thought she wanted to treat them to meat patties. She bought four meat patties and one scallion pancake. She probably thought the meat patties were too expensive and couldn't bear to buy them.

If she rushed to pay now, would she offend her sister-in-law?

But if I let them eat meat patties and let my sister-in-law eat scallion pancakes, I would feel a little guilty.

The stall owner handed over the wrapped scallion pancakes and meat patties.

Zhang Lanlan counted out thirty-four copper coins and handed them to the stall owner.

Zhang Lanlan divided the meat patties among her siblings?

I kept a piece of scallion pancake on my hand.

Mo Rao thought to herself, as expected.

Mo Rao said to the stall owner: Give me another piece of meat pie.

Upon hearing this, the stall owner immediately wrapped a meat patty and handed it to Mo Rao.

Seeing this, Zhang Lanlan thought that her sister-in-law was not full with just one pancake, so she immediately took out eight copper coins from her pocket and handed them to the stall owner.

Mo Rao hurriedly pressed down Zhang Lanlan's hand that was handing over the copper coins and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll pay for this."

As he said this, he hurriedly handed eight copper coins to the stall owner.

Big sister, you are still so polite to my sister-in-law. It is not my responsibility to buy meat patties for you. Besides, I haven’t spent the money grandma gave me last time.

Mo Rao smiled and said: Sister-in-law, it doesn’t matter who gives it to us. We are a family and there is no need for special treatment. Since we are eating meat patties, then everyone will eat meat patties.

Mo Rao handed the meat pie to Zhang Lanlan. Zhang Lanlan was a little touched. She didn't expect that her sister-in-law bought it for her.

Zhang Lanlan took the meat pie and said with red eyes: Okay, we are a family, we all eat the same thing.

Well, eat it.

Several people couldn't wait to take a bite, and immediately the delicious aroma filled their mouths.

The crispy outer layer breaks apart in your mouth with a delightful crunch, while the meat filling inside is tender, juicy, and fragrant. Every bite is filled with rich flavors that will leave you intoxicated.

Mo Rao thought to herself, "Who said there were no delicious foods in ancient times? Any meat pie you buy tastes so good!"

As Mo Baoshan ate, he said, "Sister, this is so delicious! My mouth is so full." His mouth puffed up as he spoke. It was so adorable.

Big sister, this meat pie is so delicious.

How can it be so fragrant? It tastes even better than the stew my grandma makes.

The siblings were completely conquered by the deliciousness of the meat patties.

They savored the delicious meat pies while strolling through the market, buying any interesting items they came across.

Soon, the hands of several people were full of things.

The siblings laughed all the way.

Mo Rao looked at her brothers and sisters smiling so happily. She felt really happy.

Mo Rao smiled and said: Let's buy some meat and take it home later, and let mother make dumplings for us in the evening.

"Great! I can eat meat again tonight," Mo Baoshan said excitedly.

Children's happiness is contagious, and several people were infected by Mo Baoshan's happy smile.

This time, Mo Rao did not buy meat from Chen the Butcher, but chose the meat stall opposite Chen the Butcher's house.

Across from the butcher stall was a middle-aged woman. She was quite burly, with bulging muscles in her arms. She looked very powerful, and the first impression she gave was that she was someone to be reckoned with.

What kind of meat does the girl want to buy?

When the woman spoke, her voice was very heroic.

Mo Rao pointed to the grease next to her and said: How much is this?

The woman said: This is twenty cents per pound.

What about the thigh meat? Thigh meat is almost all lean meat. There is some fat, but not much. Mo Rao asked.

The woman said: Thigh meat is eleven cents per pound.

Oils and fats were really expensive in ancient times. No wonder people at that time, if they were not well off, could only use half a pound of oil to last a whole year.

Mo Rao bought three pounds of fat and two pounds of thigh meat.

Mo Rao saw the big bone next to the stall and asked: How much is this big bone?

The woman said: Three cents a pound.

"Give me two of these big bones too," Mo Rao said.

“Okay,” the woman said, and started chopping the meat.

Chen the butcher across the street saw Mo Rao and his group buying meat.

They are getting married tomorrow. The eldest daughter of the Mo family went to buy meat across the street, and it would be embarrassing for her not to come to his place.

They came to the market today, apparently to prepare for tomorrow.

Cheng the butcher thought self-righteously.

Cheng the butcher felt itchy when he saw Mo Rao, and wished he could marry her right away.

Zhang Lanlan rushed to pay, and Mo Rao was not polite. Her sister-in-law wanted to show herself. Naturally, she had to give her sister-in-law this opportunity.

Zhang Lanlan thought, "I'm the eldest sister-in-law. How can I let my sister-in-law pay?" Besides, her grandmother had given her some money before. This money was used for daily household expenses. It was just right.

After paying, they started walking towards the intersection. When they passed by the butcher's stall, Chen the Butcher's ambiguous look made them feel sick.

Mo Rao noticed the look in Chen the Butcher's eyes.

Mo Rao shot a sharp look at him, which made Cheng the Butcher shudder.

On the way, Zhang Lanlan asked, "Was that Cheng the butcher just now?" He had a face full of flesh and looked older than my father. "And I've heard that this butcher beats women whenever he gets drunk. The woman in front of him was beaten to death by him."

You can't marry someone like this. Marrying him would be like falling into a hell!

Yes! That person looks so scary. My eldest sister can’t marry him. If Er Niang wants to marry, let my younger sister marry. Mo Er Niang said angrily.

Mo Sanniang said: Whoever wants to marry can marry, but our eldest sister won't marry.

Mo Rao touched the little girl's head. A child of ten years old knew what was good and what was bad.
