my home is in the northeast

19. A good start

Seeing the worry on his son's face, Zhang Changgui rarely showed a slight smile, "I bought it. I just met He Laoliu. I heard that our family will start selling sauced pork, so he sold all six of his pigs to us."

"Six pigs, we can't use so many at once." Zhang Yuhe took a breath and said in surprise.

"It's okay, we will kill one if we need it. It won't be bad in such cold weather. According to the current trend, I estimate that a pig can be sold in two or three days." Zhang Changgui said confidently. "Where's your third sister?"

"I haven't come back yet."

"I'll wait for him here, you go back first." Zhang Changgui lit a cigarette, and Zhang Yuhe brought him some cigarettes when he came back. The old man was usually reluctant to part with it, so he smoked cigarettes from a small local cigarette factory at home. One dollar a box.The sauced meat sold so well today, he was so happy, he took out a good cigarette and smoked one.

"No, I'm sure I'll be able to follow you later." Zhang Yuhe chuckled, just in time to see Zhang Yuwei from a distance, "Hey, my third sister is back."

Zhang Yuwei had big and small bags in his hand, Zhang Yuhe hurried over to take the things, "What did you buy?"

"Dried tofu, frozen tofu, two wild pheasants, a basket of pheasant eggs. There are some miscellaneous things for parents."

"Old girl, did you buy anything for dad?" Zhang Changgui made a gesture.

"How can I forget? The best, I bought you five catties!"

Looking at his father's actions, Zhang Yuhe knew that what his father wanted were tobacco leaves.Sometimes they sell this kind of home-grown tobacco leaves on the market. There are different grades, but the most expensive ones are not worth the price of a box of good cigarettes.

Although there are still people who smoke dry tobacco, there are far fewer of them. Nowadays, young people buy ready-made cigarettes, while older people like to buy some tobacco leaves and buy a small cigarette rolling machine to roll some cigarettes by themselves, which is cheap and trouble-free.

Zhang Yuhe looked at Zhang Changgui helplessly, "Father, didn't I buy you cigarettes? Why are you still buying loose cigarettes? You see how promising our sauce meat business is, and I'm afraid there won't be enough money to buy cigarettes."

"That's different. You don't need to smoke such good cigarettes. Rolling your own is fine." Zhang Changgui was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "Get in the car, old girl, let's go home."

Around eleven o'clock, the father and son arrived home.

Sun Cuifang hurried out of the house when she heard the commotion, "Father, how is the sauced meat?"

Sun Cuifang kept looking outside while doing housework at home in the morning. He was not afraid of his wife, but mainly afraid of his son's setbacks.

Zhang Changgui made an agreement with his daughter and daughter on the way, let them hide Sun Cuifang together, Zhang Yuhe and Zhang Yuwei didn't expect Zhang Changgui to be so playful at an old age, presumably today's business made him feel good.

Zhang Changgui didn't say a word, walked around his wife and entered the house with his old face.

Zhang Yuwei's brother and sister looked at each other in the back, but didn't say anything.

Sun Cuifang panicked all of a sudden, "What's wrong? What happened? Is it because the meat is not selling well?"

Zhang Yuping came out of the house with her son, and pulled the old sister, "Yuwei, what's wrong?

Sun Cuifang hurried into the house, "Old man..." But before she could finish her sentence, Zhang Changgui took out a lot of banknotes from his pocket. "this……"

Zhang Changgui grinned, "I sold more than 700 yuan for the harvest in the morning."

"Oh, you old man, you sold it for so much money. You just frightened me!" Seeing so much money, Sun Cuifang immediately laughed, stretched out her hand and hit her wife on the shoulder twice to express her dissatisfaction.

Turning around, the three children behind and a smaller head were eavesdropping at the door, and the old man blushed suddenly, and slapped his wife again, "Look, let the children see a joke!"

"Hey, they're peeping, why are you beating me!" Zhang Changgui said with wide-eyed eyes.

The four of Zhang Yuping laughed and entered the room, "Yu Baoer, did you sell it for so much money the other day?"

"Yes, big sister." Zhang Yuhe carried the things bought by the third sister into the house and put them on the kang, some food inside was for Xiao Zihao.

"It's a few hundred, right? I remember dad didn't sauce much meat this morning?" Zhang Yuping recalled, it was only about a dozen catties of meat, even if it was all sold, at his dad's price, I'm afraid it would be too much. Only about three hundred yuan.It can be seen that the money on the kang head is at least six or seven hundred.

"Sold more than 700."

"More than 700?" Zhang Yuping's eyes widened.

"Yeah, the beginning and the end, and a few small pieces of meat were cut up for everyone to taste for free."

"Oh my God, how much do you sell for a catty?" Zhang Yuping was speechless. The catty of meat is fixed, and if the price is higher, the price may only go up.

"Hey, pork belly is 51 catties, and ordinary square meat is 45 catties." Zhang Yuhe said proudly.

"My mother, you are profiteers!" Sun Cuifang exclaimed, looking at Zhang Changgui, "Is there anyone at this price?"

"The price set by your son, if you ask him, there is nothing left anyway."

"Not only are there no leftovers, but many people have come to buy them. Mom, we have to sell sauced meat tomorrow, and many people have made reservations."

"Oh, that's really strange."

In Sun Cuifang's opinion, it is better to buy a piece of pork belly and stew it by yourself for 51 catties of sauced meat.Now a catty of meat is only about ten yuan, even if it is made into sauce meat, it will shrink, and Zhang Changgui's price of more than 20 is still profitable, but she did not expect her son to raise the price so much all at once.

That's almost doubled.

"Mom, it's not good to sell a lot of money? Our sauced meat is so delicious, it's normal for it to be expensive. From now on, you can just wait at home and count the money."

"Success! I'm waiting for my eldest son to give me money to buy good things to eat!" Sun Cuifang smiled and nodded, "Okay, the food is ready, let's have dinner."

I ate rice at noon, and I ate a few steamed buns, so I wanted to change the taste.

Stir-fried dried tofu with sharp peppers, put some beans on the stewed meat yesterday, a plate of golden yellow stupid eggs fried shallots, plus egg sauce and scallions.

"Yuwei, did you buy the dried tofu?"

"I bought it." Zhang Yuwei hurriedly took out the dried tofu she bought.They are delicious here, whether it is fried peppers or dipped in sauce.Coupled with the cold weather, you don't have to worry about buying too much. This time Zhang Yuwei bought more than a dozen catties, and even if she ate it all at once, she could eat it for several days.

There are not many dishes, but the portions are not small. It happens that I have eaten a lot of meat these two days, and everyone eats this kind of dish very delicious.

After lunch, everyone was quite energetic, and Zhang Yuhe was not sleepy, so he simply chatted with him.

"Our family still has [-] to [-] catties of meat. I think it will all be sauced tomorrow. It should be sold."

"It can be sold, but it can be sold. It's a bit monotonous. Our family now has ordinary sauced pork and sauced pork belly." Zhang Yuwei frowned, "I always feel like there is something missing."

"Why don't we put those two elbows on tomorrow?" Sun Cuifang suggested.

"This thing is more expensive. I don't know if anyone can buy it. After all, it is a complete big elbow. And it will take more time. I'm afraid I have to get up at five o'clock." Zhang Yuhe said.

"Then we'll serve it tonight." Zhang Changgui lit a cigarette and said.

"I was thinking... our house only has meat sauce?" Zhang Yuwei interjected, "Can we have something else?"

"Other? What else?" Zhang Changgui asked, "Old girl, you mean to add some pig's head meat? Like pig's face, pig's ears or something?"

"Oh, dad, I didn't mean that." Zhang Yuwei shook her head, "I mean, Yu Baoer, can you make something else with this grass, such as chicken, chicken legs, chicken feet or something?"

Girls always like to eat some chicken wings and chicken feet, but they are less interested in large pieces of meat.

"Hey, I didn't think about it, yes, we can still make sauce chicken!" Zhang Yuhe became excited, "As for whether we can make sauce, we have to ask our father if this marinade is suitable, my rhinoceros grass is no problem It’s just to increase the taste, not pick the ingredients.”

"There should be no difference, why don't we try it in the afternoon?" Zhang Changgui saw that everyone was looking at him, and said after a pause.

There are plenty of chickens at home, and Sun Cuifang raises more than 20 chickens in the backyard, not for meat, but for laying eggs and saving them to sell in the market, or keeping some for her daughter to take away.Now that the son and the old girl are back, these eggs are not going to be sold, so I keep them for myself.

Sun Cuifang was a little bit reluctant when she heard her wife talk about sauced chicken, but she still nodded, "I'll kill the chicken in a while."
