Rebirth 60: After the separation, he took his wife to eat delicious food

"The braised pork buns my sister-in-law made are so delicious! I've never eaten buns that smell so good!"

"I think it tastes better than meat buns!"

Listening to the two people's generous praise, Sun Weiwei was very happy.

“As long as everyone likes to eat it, that’s fine.”

Thinking about the yellow fox that came into the village last night and wanted to buy puppies, Chen Yuan asked, "Dahai, are there any puppies in your village?"

Li Shanghai nodded. "It seems that the family on the east side of the village gave birth to a litter of puppies last month."

"Brother Yuan, what do you want this thing for?"

Chen Yuan quickly waved his hand, "It's not me who wants one, it's the pigpen in our village that wants to raise one."

After a pause, Chen Yuan continued, "If I can get two, I'd like to raise one too!"

Li Shanghai patted his chest and replied, "I'll ask for you when I get back to the village this afternoon. If he sells it, I'll send it to you in the evening."

Chen Yuan knew that Li Shanghai would be the right person to ask for help with this kind of thing.

"Okay, keep an eye on it for me."

Chen Yuan finished the last bite of the braised pork bun and then got up and went to the kitchen.

Two pots of steaming braised meat have been cooked and are bubbling.

The first batch of braised pork offal was still loaded into Li Shanghai's car first so that he could take it to the black market to sell, and Hu Zi would wait for the second batch.

Chen Yuan put three pounds of small twisted dough sticks into two cloth bags. These two bags were sewn by Sun Weiwei overnight.

"This is a small fried dough twist, with two flavors, sweet and spicy."

"The cost of this pound is about 20 cents, so I can sell it for 50 or 40 cents a pound, which is about the same price as the furnace fruit at the supply and marketing cooperative."

On the black market, this price is not high.

What's more, pastries and snacks were rare commodities at that time, and truly wealthy people would not care about this little money.

Li Shanghai carefully put away the two cloth bags.

"I'll have to get some newspaper later, otherwise the bag will get soaked with oil."

Chen Yuan thought it would be best if he could get some oil paper, so he said, "If you have oil paper, get some. Just buy two taels of oil paper in a pack."

"It's ten cents a pack, so it's easier to calculate the bill."

Li Shanghai thought Chen Yuan’s idea was good, otherwise he would have to weigh both the braised pork offal and the fried dough twists, which would have mixed flavors.

"Okay, I'll see if I can get it then. If I can't, I'll just use newspaper."

"to make!"

Studying the price took some time, and Li Shanghai rode very fast on the road.

Passing a muddy field, the bicycle slipped uncontrollably. Li Shanghai cursed softly and stretched out his legs to support the bicycle.

"Damn! Luckily I reacted quickly!"

If it falls, all the braised pork offal will be wasted!

Li Shanghai didn't dare to ride so fast this time. He rode at full speed and arrived at the black market safely.

……

While waiting for the second pot of braised pork to be put into the water, Hu Zi thought about setting up a banquet for his wedding and inviting several close relatives to have a meal together.

Hu Zi planned to only call Chen Yuan, Li Shanghai and the village chief.

Life was hard at that time, and the money collected from the gifts might not be enough to set up a big banquet, so no one was willing to do so.

So, Hu Zi said to Chen Yuan, "Brother Yuan, when I have my wedding banquet, I want to buy some of this fried dough twist."

"Yes, yes, and there's also braised pork offal."

Chen Yuan made a gesture indicating that it was okay.

He had already made plans. On the day of Hu Zi's wedding, he would go to the county town to buy some pork, make a pot of braised pork and give it to Hu Zi to show off.

If Hu Zi likes the fried dough twists, he will give Hu Zi two more pounds and ask them to take them back when they visit his parents.

"No need to buy it, just consider it my wedding gift to you."

After a pause, Chen Yuan continued, "Let's clean up the house starting from the first day of the new year. We should renovate what needs to be renovated and throw away what needs to be thrown away."

Hu Zi nodded, "I'll listen to you on all of this!"

"Hey, my life is worth it as long as I have brothers like you!"

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry about it yet. Your two pots of braised pork offal are ready. Come over and help me put them into the bucket."

Hu Zi was about to express his feelings when he was interrupted by Chen Yuan. He didn't get angry, but came over to help with a smile like a fool.

……

After sending Hu Zi away, Chen Yuan finally had time to clean up the new house.

The cave is cool in the summer and can be used to store some fruits and vegetables. Unused items can also be piled up in the cave, so the cave is not sealed.

Chen Yuan planned to let Yiyi move to the west room. Children need their own space when they grow up. He even asked a carpenter to make a desk and a chair so that Yiyi could use them to do her homework.

Chen Yuan had just spread the straw mat in the east room when Hu Zi came back on his bicycle.

"Brother Yuan, I'm back."

When Chen Yuan saw Hu Zi's expression, he knew that sales would be good today.

"How's it going? All sold?"

Hu Zi chuckled, "Of course!"

"I haven't been selling braised pig offal these past few days and everyone has missed the taste. They were almost sold out by noon,"

Suddenly, Hu Zi smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Yuan, guess how your fried dough twist is selling."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Looking at your expression, it must have been sold, otherwise you would be crying right now."

Hu Zi scratched his head. Are his emotions that obvious?

"At first, no one bought it because they thought it was too expensive. I was so angry that I was worried about how to sell it."

"Brother Hai remembered that when you first sold braised pig offal, you tasted it before buying it, so I followed your method and ended up selling out right away."

Hu Zi was so excited when he spoke that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Brother Yuan, if we had taken out this fried dough twist earlier, we wouldn't have had to worry about it for the past two days!"

Chen Yuan hadn't really thought of it at the time, but it was only when Yiyi said she wanted some candy for Feng Ailian that day that he thought of making this, as it was also sweet and Feng Ailian would like it.

"It's okay. It's not too late to take it out now. I can sell it while I'm selling the braised pig offal. Who would think they're making too much money?"

As Chen Yuan spoke, he carried another straw mat to the west room.

After listening to Chen Yuan, Hu Zi felt that what he said made a lot of sense and kept it in mind.

Chen Yuan spread out the straw mat on the kang, and Hu Zi was very considerate and went to the other side to help stretch out the mat.

The two of them quickly laid the straw mat in the west room.

Hu Zi then remembered that he had brought some things back from the county.

"Brother Yuan, the flour and oil you requested."

"And this cloth. I couldn't get a ticket, so I bought it on the black market."

Chen Yuan took the things and thanked him.

"There's nothing to do here. Go back and have a good rest. You're exhausted after a busy day."

Hu Zi did feel a little tired after not working for many days and doing such high-intensity work all at once.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. If you have anything, just come to my house and find me."

After saying that, Hu Zi pushed his bicycle away.

This bicycle is usually kept at Hu Zi's place, so he doesn't have to come to Chen Yuan's house to pick it up every morning.

In the evening, just after Chen Yuan finished dinner, Li Shanghai came on a bicycle.
