Chapter 44 Buying Pork
There was no point in showing disrespect to the customer, so he immediately put on a smile and said, "This fat meat is 25 cents a pound."
Hearing the price, Lin Yunchu couldn't help but be a little shocked. This meat is so expensive, even the fat is so expensive. No wonder so many people can't afford it. They just sold mushrooms for ten cents.
Lin Yunchu gritted his teeth, pointed at the pork belly beside him and asked, "Where is this pork belly?"
"This pork belly is thirty-five cents."
The uncle selling pork responded in a good-tempered manner.
Lin Yunchu pointed to the bones at the edge and asked, "Uncle, how much are these bones for?"
"There's not much meat on these bones. They cost three cents a pound."
Lin Yunchu was shocked. These bones were not cheap. Three cents per pound sounded not expensive, but these bones had no meat and were heavy.
Lin Changting, who was standing behind, heard Lin Yunchu ask about the price of the bones and thought that Lin Yunchu was reluctant to buy the meat and wanted to buy the bones instead, so he quickly said:
"Little sister, if you want to eat meat, let's buy some. The meat has been removed from the bones and there is nothing to eat. Let's not take it."
These bones cost three cents per pound. Lin Changting felt a little sad. This was too expensive.
Lin Yunchu didn't think so. The meat had to be eaten, and the bones could be used to make soup to nourish the Lin family.
There is nothing delicious to eat all year round, and the Lin family members are all pale and thin. Lin Yunchu feels a little distressed when he sees them.
"Uncle, I want both this fat and this pork belly. Can you give me a discount on this big bone stick?"
The less the better. Lin Yunchu tried to bargain with the uncle selling pork. The Lin family was not rich, and the money they just earned today could not be spent carelessly.
Hearing Lin Yunchu's words, the uncle selling pork frowned. He didn't expect that Lin Yunchu wanted to buy all the fat and the last piece of pork belly.
I originally thought that Lin Yunchu would at most buy some fat meat to make some lard, but I didn't expect that once she opened her mouth, she almost wanted to buy all the remaining meat on his stall.
The vendor smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll give you two cents per pound of bones, and this piece of pig liver as well."
The vendor then pointed to a piece of pork liver placed aside. Lin Yunchu looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the piece of pork liver was about the size of a palm. He immediately nodded with a smile on his face.
Father Lin and Lin Changting were stunned when they saw Lin Yunchu buy all the remaining pork and bones on the stall.
Before the two of them could react, the vendor had already weighed the fat and pork belly bones that Lin Yunchu had just asked for.
After weighing it, he put the liver together with the weighed meat, and said to Lin Yunchu with a smile: "This fat is five catties and one ounce, so you are five catties, little girl. This pork belly is exactly one catty, and the bones are five catties, so the total is one hundred and seventy coins."
Lin Yunchu nodded, took out the silver that Manager Zhou had just paid her at Yipin Pavilion, counted it, and took out 170 coins and handed them to the uncle.
Finally, I asked the uncle selling pork for two pieces of oil-proof paper to put under the backpack, and then put the weighed pork bones into the backpack.
"Dad, big brother, let's go to the rice shop and buy some more coarse grains."
It was not until Lin Yunchu said that he wanted to leave that the two of them came to their senses.
It cost one hundred and seventy coins to buy pork. The two of them widened their eyes and swallowed in disbelief.
But when Lin Changting picked up the backpack, the weight behind it made him realize that Lin Yunchu had really bought pork.
Although I know there will be meat to eat at home in the evening, I still can't help feeling a little sad.
I finally earned some money today, but I've already spent almost two hundred coins. Now Lin Yunchu says he wants to buy some food.
Although they felt a little sad, Lin's father and Lin Changting also knew that there was not much food left at home. If they did not buy some back this time, they would probably run out of food in two days, and by then, only some sweet potatoes would be left to eat.
So no matter how reluctant you are, you still have to listen to Lin Yunchu on this matter.
The three of them soon arrived at the rice shop. Lin Yunchu went in and looked around. She saw that the rice shop had all kinds of things, including brown rice, refined rice, and white flour. However, she was not ready to buy such expensive refined rice and white flour for the time being.
The Lin family doesn't have any stable income right now, so they have to be frugal with the money they earn today.
When the clerk at the rice shop saw someone coming, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "What do you want to buy? We have everything."
Lin Yunchu pointed at the brown rice closest to her and asked, "How much is this brown rice?"
The shop assistant was not surprised when he heard Lin Yunchu asking about the price of brown rice. At that time, the poor families in the village ate brown rice the most. Only rich families could afford refined rice and white flour.
He immediately responded: "This brown rice is five cents a pound."
After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the coarse noodles beside him and said, "This coarse noodles is eight coins per pound. Miss, please tell me how many pounds you want."
This coarse flour can be used to make pancakes and steamed buns on a daily basis, and it can also be mixed with wild vegetables to make wild vegetable pancakes to fill your stomach.
The shop assistants thought about it and recommended it to Lin Yunchu.
Lin Yunchu thought that there were a lot of wild vegetables in the fields at this time of year, and it would be easy to get tired of eating them just by stir-frying them. It would be nice to occasionally fry them with coarse flour into a pancake.
So he said, "Could you please weigh out ten kilograms of brown rice and five kilograms of coarse flour for me?"
Lin Yunchu thought that there were still sweet potatoes at home, which should be enough to last for a few days if he saved them. He would buy some next time he went to town.
The guy nodded, quickly went to find a bag and started to help Lin Yunchu weigh it.
"Sir, the rice you requested is ready. It costs ninety wen."
The servant helped put the weighed brown rice and coarse flour into the backpack behind Lin's father.
Lin Yunchu nodded, counted the silver, handed ninety coins to the clerk, and then the three of them walked out of the shop.
"Dad, big brother, you must be hungry after working for so long. Let's go eat something first and then go back."
Hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Lin's father and Lin Changting quickly waved their hands at her, "No, no, didn't your mother bring us some sweet potatoes this morning? We can just eat those."
Things in this town are so expensive. It cost a lot of money to buy pork and food. Lin's father and Lin Changting were very heartbroken.
They didn't want to eat in town at all. Even vegetarian noodles were very expensive in town, and they both felt reluctant to do so.
Lin Yunchu shook her head helplessly, but didn't say much. She knew that Lin's father and Lin Changting were not hungry, but were reluctant to spend money.
