my home is in the northeast

22. Sold out?

Leaving aside the Wu family, Zhang Yuhe rested early, and when he got up at five o'clock the next morning, he saw his father Zhang Changgui had already got up, processed the square meat that had been cut yesterday, and put it into the stewed soup inside.

"Father, let me come!" Zhang Yuhe quickly finished washing and came over to help.

"See if your mother's done it? Sauce the bits and pieces too."

"Hey." Zhang Yuhe returned to the main room, and Sun Cuifang was cooking eggs. There were more than 50 eggs boiled in them, all of which were kept at home and not sold.

Zhang Yuwei also got up, and was helping to clean the dried tofu, ready to take it to the wing.

"Yu Baoer, are these three chickens enough?" Sun Cuifang pointed to the three killed chickens in the basin, "Should we separate them?"

"Enough is enough, there are still two from yesterday, and I will return those two to the pot later, and try them out." Zhang Yuhe looked at Sun Cuifang and suddenly smiled, "Mom, don't kill the chickens you raised in the future, Just keep the eggs for laying, and it’s the same when we sell marinated eggs.”

"It's okay, Mom is willing." Sun Cuifang smiled, "The chickens have been raised for two years and they have to kill a batch and replace them with new ones, the same."

"Then keep it for now." Zhang Yuhe knew that the chickens at home were all young chickens caught just this year, and the weight was not heavy, just over two catties.The eggs laid by this young hen are the best. "I'll contact the chicken farm to buy a batch later. Our family's chickens are stupid. It's not worth it if they are sold cheaply. They are too expensive to eat, so I will go to the village to collect a batch later. It might be cheaper if there are more chickens."

"Okay, you have the final say."

Chicken is relatively easy to cook, although it is a stupid chicken raised in the house.Zhang Yuhe brought the chicken over and put it into the marinade pot next to it.

"Old man, do you still need to watch this? Let's eat first." After some time, Sun Cuifang came over and called the two of them.

"Don't worry, Yu Bao'er will eat first, we'll take turns, we have to watch the pot." Zhang Changgui said without looking back.

"Father, go eat first. I'm not even hungry."

"I'm not hungry either."

"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, I've been busy all morning, it's almost eight o'clock." Sun Cuifang gave his wife a look, "Yu Baoer, go eat first."

Zhang Yuhe was pushed by Zhang Changgui and had to get up.

Breakfast is also quite simple, boiled thick rice porridge, fried steamed bun slices, salted duck eggs cut in half, and a plate of pickles.

Zhang Yuhe ate a bowl of porridge and three slices of steamed buns, and hurried to change Zhang Changgui's meal.

At 08:30, the father and son set off with their things.Dajing Village is a little farther away today, and they have to leave earlier.But this is also good, the sauced meat is still undercooked, and the sauce is just right on the way.

The father and son didn't bring Zhang Yuwei with them today, mainly because there was an extra pot, and there were also some extra things, such as signs and price lists.

The sign was made by Zhang's sister and brother at night. It is a simple cardboard box tied with wood, and it clearly says "Zhang's Old Sauce Meat".Although it doesn't look very good, it is quite down-to-earth. In this small mountain village, you don't need to be too particular, otherwise the signboard is too gorgeous, and people dare not come here.

Rao Zhang Yuhe has good physical strength, pedaling such a long distance, pulling so many things, sweating profusely, and a little pain in the waist, it seems that the bottle of genetic repair liquid must be eaten quickly.

On the way, Zhang Changgui proposed to drive instead, but Zhang Yuhe refused.

"Why don't we go buy an electric tricycle tomorrow?" Zhang Changgui suggested. The tricycle belongs to the neighbor's house, so it's not appropriate to borrow it every day.Furthermore, electric tricycles can also save my son some energy.It's not worth doing such a waste of energy.

When we arrived at Dajing Village, it was past nine o'clock. The father and son hurriedly parked the tricycle with bricks, and then put up the sign and price list.

Perhaps because the price list is straightforward today, many people shook their heads and walked away after just one glance.

Zhang Yuhe opened the stewed meat pot to let the aroma waft around.This old trick quickly attracted a group of people. As usual, Zhang Yuhe scooped up a small strip of meat and cut it into slices for the onlookers to taste.

These small strips of sauced meat are purposely set aside, and most people don't want such small pieces, so they simply take them out.It doesn't matter if these people eat or not, he doesn't believe that after eating his family's sauced meat, he can still think about other families.

The people around were tasting it, when suddenly a loud voice shouted from behind, and everyone gave way to him.This guy looked at Zhang Yuhe after squeezing in, "Little brother, do you still remember me? I've been looking for you for a long time today, and I thought you were fooling me."

"Business, how can I do it?" Zhang Yuhe recognized that it was one of them who inquired with him yesterday. It is said that after buying it back, the whole family loves it very much, but it is a pity that they bought less.Hurry back and say more, who knows that Zhang Yuhe's place has already been sold out.This man was quite depressed when he left, and complained to him that his wife was not easy to mess with, and he would probably be scolded when he went back.

"Come on, give me two catties, not four catties..."

"Brother, we have a new variety today, do you want some?" Zhang Yuhe recommended it very flatteringly. "Try this chicken, it's delicious. There are also stewed eggs, stewed tofu, and many other varieties."

Zhang Yuhe picked up a chicken wing and handed it over.The chicken wings are easy to taste, and they were marinated yesterday, and they should be heated in the marinated soup before coming here, otherwise they will bring ice balls.

"How do you sell the chicken?" The elder brother nodded while eating.

"Look, there's a price here. If you want whole chickens, you can get fifty whole chickens, which is more than two catties. The real stupid chickens raised at home taste so good!"

"51..." The man pondered for a while, "Give me two pieces of square meat and two chickens. Hey, pack them separately for me, and divide them into two portions."

"Okay!" Zhang Yuhe put it on with a smile, "Is this a gift from you? I'll give you a few more marinated eggs and two sheets of dried tofu. You can try it when you go back. The taste is unmistakable. Come back when it tastes good!"

"One for my mother and one for my mother-in-law." The man laughed. "Thank you, little brother!"

After paying the bill, the man left.

The onlookers watched the man buy two chickens and two pieces of meat, and couldn't help but mutter in their hearts.Such an expensive thing, does anyone really buy it?But the taste of this meat is really good, it is also good to buy some to satisfy the children's cravings.

There are many people in rural areas with good conditions. For example, those who have contracted a large area of ​​land, some go out to work, and come back to celebrate the New Year with money in winter. These people are not short of money, and they are willing.Kuhaha pointed to the soil to plan food, so naturally the money is not so generous, just like the Zhang family before.

There is no place to touch money, and there are many children in the family, so eating, drinking and going to school are not a small expense.

Zhang Yuhe can guess from the clothes of the other party after a short look. These people want half a catty of meat, half a piece of meat, or even a few marinated eggs to buy a chicken leg. Zhang Lu's dried tofu.

This kind of small kindness, which was originally done by hand, unexpectedly made many people feel more fond of this pair of father and son who sell sauced meat.

In the end, the dried tofu and marinated eggs brought by the two of them were basically half sold and half free. They were all sold out, and the meat and chicken were also sold out, leaving only a little minced meat.

"Little brother, can you sell this minced meat cheap?"

Zhang Yuhe was cleaning up the stall. He came late today, and there were a lot of things. It was past eleven o'clock, and they had to rush back.Hearing someone asking in his ear, Zhang Yuhe quickly raised his head.

The person in front of her was a middle-aged woman who looked about 50 to [-] years old. The reason why she was not sure about her age was that Zhang Yuhe felt that the other party might not be as old as she was looking at. Her face was full of exhaustion, and there was a basket beside her. Also go to the market to sell something.

"Yes, let me take a look." Zhang Yuhe scooped it up with a strainer. There were a few pieces, not many, and probably less than half a catty in total. They were all cut when cutting square meat. "Elder Sister, these are also good meat. Cut the corners of the square meat. If you want, can I give you 31 catties? This is estimated to be half a catty, more than ten yuan."

"This..." The woman hesitated for a moment, obviously the price was still a bit high for her.

"How about this? You think we should close the stall. You bought all the meat, and it counts as ten yuan for you." Zhang Yuhe calculated. Although the meat is less than ten yuan per catty now, the sauced meat will shrink. It’s good to have seven taels left over in a catty, and ten yuan for half a catty of extra meat is basically capital.

"Then I'll take it, I'll take it." The woman nodded hastily, and she also knew that the price was really cheap, so she quickly took out a ten-yuan card and handed it over.

Zhang Yuhe swiftly packed the meat and handed it over. The woman hesitated for a moment, and asked sheepishly, "Can I have a spoonful of this sauced meat soup?"
