Chapter 152 Butcher Chen’s Cheap Meat (Third Update)
Besides, there are five mouths in the family, and rice and grain are expensive, so you have to take your time eating. To fill your stomach, most of the time you have to rely on vegetables.
So, Yang Ruoqing made plans with Sun before going out in the morning.
I have to come to Washi today to buy more vegetables. At least, I have to be able to manage them for three days.
After you finish eating in three days, you will come back with tofu and buy some to take home!
Luo Fengtang nodded: "Sure, we'll go wherever you say!"
His family's situation is similar, with no fields and no vegetable garden.
I have always relied on his bow and arrow for my uncle’s rations.
Sell the prey, buy some rice, grains and noodles, and dig some wild vegetables to make do while hunting.
Now that he has received one hundred and sixty cents, he also wants to buy some vegetables and other things to improve his uncle's food.
So, the two people talked and laughed and headed towards Wa City.
Luo Fengtang spent a penny to store the wheelbarrow in a carriage shop at the gate of Wa City.
Luo Fengtang took down two wooden barrels, carried them in his hands, and followed Yang Ruoqing into Wa City.
The reason why I carried the wooden barrel was to use it to store the purchased items later.
In Wa City, because it was not a market day, it was not that crowded.
However, as the largest town in Shiliba Village, there are still a lot of various stalls and hawkers in Wa City.
Yang Ruoqing entered the tile market and looked directly at the fruits and vegetables on the stall.
There are fixed stalls in the Wa Market, and there are also peasant women from nearby villages who come to sell vegetables with baskets.
Yang Ruoqing specifically picked the stalls owned by peasant women because they came to sell vegetables on a temporary basis and did not need to pay a fixed stall rental fee.
It’s all cabbage. The fixed stalls charge one penny per catty, but the peasant women squatting in the corner pay two cents and three catties!
Yang Ruoqing spent four cents to weigh six kilograms of Chinese cabbage.
"Tangyazi, this cabbage is not bad, fresh and juicy. Why don't you buy some for home?"
Yang Ruoqing put the purchased cabbage into a wooden barrel. Advise Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang nodded happily and bought several kilograms.
The woman selling Chinese cabbage was so happy that she grabbed a bunch of home-grown garlic and gave them two pieces each.
Each one has seven or eight petals, enough for cooking for several days.
Next, Yang Ruoqing bought a few more kilograms of white radish, several kilograms of yams, two handfuls of garlic sprouts, and four or five heads of cauliflower, spending a total of twenty-five cents!
He and his uncle are the only ones in Luo Fengtang’s family, and their demand for food is less than that of Yang Ruoqing’s family.
But he also followed her example and bought a little of everything. The portions were not large, and they were enough for the uncle to change his taste.
“I bought the vegetables here first, and I’ll go over there to look at the meat.”
Yang Ruoqing said, walking towards the row of meat stalls over there.
The meat stalls these days are almost the same as modern ones.
On the meat table, which is wider and thicker than a desk, there are slices of meat.
On the shelf in front of the meat table, hanging pork liver, pork loin, ribs, ribs, pig intestines and so on.
There are huge pig heads on some stalls.
The pig's hair has been shaved off, its eyes are closed, and its face is white. At first glance, it looks like it is smiling at you, which is very happy.
This is the smell, not very good.
The two people walked all the way, and Yang Ruoqing walked next to the stall to inquire about the price.
Pork belly costs fifteen cents per catty, and ribs cost eighteen cents per catty. The ribs are ten pieces, the pork liver is eight pieces, and the pork kidneys are eight pieces. Pig intestines are the cheapest, costing six cents per pound... "Oh, aren't these Fat Ya and Tang Yazi? Are you weighing pork? Come to Uncle Chen, the meat here is the best!"
There were two butcher tables in front of them, and a middle-aged man who had put on weight shouted in this direction.
Yang Ruoqing looked up and saw that the middle-aged man looked unfamiliar, as if he had never seen him before.
But the facial features, especially the hippopotamus mouth, looked so familiar, as if they had seen it before somewhere!
"That's Chen Goudan and Chen Hu and Chen Xiong's father, Chen the butcher in our village."
While Yang Ruoqing was stunned, Luo Fengtang came closer and whispered in her ear reminded.
Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized.
No wonder the hippopotamus’ mouth looks so familiar, it turns out to be Chen Goudan and the others’ father!
It is the fault of a son not to educate his father. With the virtues of three sons, being a father is no better!
Yang Ruoqing decided to ignore it, turned around and walked back.
Butcher Chen had already walked out from behind the meat case and came to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.
"Fat Ya, Tang Yazi, if you want to buy meat, just take care of Uncle Chen's business. We are all from the same village. Uncle Chen will definitely give you the best meat at a cheaper price!"
Chen While the butcher was saying these words, behind the other meat cases on both sides, other butchers were also trying their best to recruit Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.
If it were someone else from the same village selling pork here, Yang Ruoqing might actually go over and take care of the business.
Wouldn’t it be the same price to buy meat wherever you go? If you buy meat from someone in the same village, you still have to be a favor, right?
However, when the other party was Butcher Chen, Yang Ruoqing was not happy.
Not to mention that the Chen Goudan brothers bullied their former owner and younger brother Daan several times.
Throwing broken bowl pieces into her field at the people who came to their home last time, hurting Ga Gong's foot, Yang Ruoqing would not take care of his business.
However, Yang Ruoqing still flashed her eyes and asked Butcher Chen with a smile.
"Then how much cheaper can you give us?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile as she sided away from Butcher Chen who reached out to grab her hand.
Butcher Chen was stunned for a moment, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "We are from the same village, and Uncle Chen will not trick anyone! Pork belly is fifteen cents a pound, and ribs are twenty cents. I’ll give you another two taels of pork liver, and I’ll make some soup for your dad at home. It’ll be nourishing for his leg bones...”
Yang Ruoqing twitched the corner of her mouth, yes, half a penny is not cheap, and the ribs are two pence more expensive!
She turned and looked at Luo Fengtang, with the same sarcasm in their eyes.
"Uncle Chen, your pigs are more valuable than their pigs! We are poor and cannot afford the expensive meat. You should give this big advantage to others! Tangyao, let's go !”
Yang Ruoqing turned around and wanted to leave.
Butcher Chen stretched out his hand again to pull Yang Ruoqing, but Yang Ruoqing turned sideways and hid behind Luo Fengtang.
At the same time, Luo Fengtang took a step forward with great understanding.
The tall and strong body, like an unshakable mountain, stood in front of Butcher Chen.
“Hey, Tangyazi, what are you going to do?” Butcher Chen glared at Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang glanced down at Butcher Chen with a cold expression and said nothing, but the warning in his eyes made Butcher Chen shiver inexplicably!
This boy is so fierce and murderous!
When Butcher Chen came to his senses, he saw Yang Ruoqing already standing in front of a meat case over there.
She was pointing at the pork on the meat table, and the stall owner had already picked up the butcher knife and started to cut the meat...
Butcher Chen was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but every line had every line. rules.
If he rushes to fight again, not only will he not be able to get the business back, but he will also cause trouble.
