Chapter 126 Belly and Lungs

"But I made an agreement with Aunt Ding."

Lu Sheige had no choice but to lie, "I told Aunt Ding today that I will go to her house tomorrow."

She didn't say what she was going to do at Ding's house, but Lu Quan and Qiu could figure it out.

Ever since Aunt Ding’s family started making braised pork sausage, she added a variety of pig heads, pig tails, pig feet and a series of other things. Some time ago, Xiao Si also added vegetarian dishes to the Ding family.

Dried tofu, lotus root slices, peanuts, braised eggs...

The stir-fried beans, rice and pickled vegetables are also considered a vegetarian dish, and they don't even need to be braised.

I heard they are selling well.

Those who work on the pier, whether they have money or not, like to buy some side dishes from the Dingjia braised food stall.

If you have more money, you can buy some meat, if you have less money, you can buy some vegetarian food. If you don't have much money, just a few people can join together and buy some peanuts or beans to stir-fry pickles and drink with them.

The Ding family's share of the money they have sent in the past two months is more than five taels a month, which shows how good their business is.

After hearing Lu Sheige say that she was going to Ding's house, Lu Quan and Qiu automatically figured out that she was going to teach the Ding family some new dishes.

Don't look at the fact that the Ding family only has more than five taels of silver per month, but it can't be prepared for a long period of time. It is equal to sixty or seventy taels of silver in a year.

If someone had said to Lu Quan half a year ago, "I will make a business deal with you and give your family five taels of silver a month," Lu Quan would have thought that this person had a mental problem.

His family could not earn more than two taels of silver a year, and the five taels of silver were enough to feed his family for two or three years.

With Zhang San here, Lu Quan and Qiu couldn't ask any more questions.

Mrs. Qiu spoke first: "Then let your father go with you tomorrow."

Lu Quan nodded quickly: "Well, I'll go with you tomorrow."

"No, dad has to work with Uncle Zhang on beating adobe bricks together. How can he have time to mess around with me?"

Just kidding, dad followed her and met Song Yunfei like this.

"Then mother will go with you."

Lu Sheige still refused: "Mom, don't you want to dig up the land to grow vegetables? If you don't plant vegetables and radishes now, when the weather gets cooler after the autumn harvest, you won't be able to plant anything."

"If you don't worry, let Xiaoyu and I go tomorrow. We are small and unattractive. When the time comes, we will borrow Uncle Zhang's boat and we will row through the waterway without entering the town."

The Zhang family and the Li family each have a small boat, which is not big and very clever.

There are no children as old as Xiaoyu Xiaowu in Zhuangzi who can't row.

From Zhuangzi to Jiangba, sailing is faster than walking.

Almost half of the town's alleys in Jiangjiaba are close to water, and the alley of Ding's house happens to be in this half of the town.

It's not impossible if Lu Xiaoyu and Xiao Wu go there in the Zhang family's boat.

It's just that the two children are too young, so if something happens, it won't work.

Lu Quan was still a little worried: "Let your second sister go with you."

Small carp are stronger than small fish and more reliable than small fish.

"The eldest sister and the second sister want to help mother grow vegetables. If Xiaoyu goes with me, Xiaowu will have no one to watch..."

Lu Sheige slumped his shoulders, "Forget it, let Brother Ping An take me there tomorrow. Brother Ping An is still young anyway, and you can't bear to let him throw adobe."

Even though Chen Pingan is doing the work at the dock, he is treated like an adult.

However, every household in Zhuangzi had to throw adobe bricks, which was a laborious task. It also required strength to dig out the mud, mix it, crush it and beat it into bricks.

There are only seven households in Zhuangzi, but their hearts are united.

Chen Ping'an's family has no adults. He went to the dock to carry out labor to support his family, and no one stopped him.

When he wanted to throw adobe bricks, no one would let him do the job. He, Li Canggan, and Zhang Fugui, several other children of about the same age, just helped dig out maps and stomp on the mud.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of people digging and stepping on the mud, so Chen Pingan accompanied Xiao Si to the town without any delay.

When Chen Ping'an was mentioned, Lu Quan and Qiu both had no objections: "Okay, then let your brother Ping'an accompany you tomorrow."

Zhang San, who was walking in front, kept shaking his head. Lu Quan and his wife doted on their mistress too much.

If your child wants to go to town, let him go without asking why.

I just came back from the town with a stomachache, and I don’t know what I’m going to do at Aunt Ding’s house tomorrow!

Hey, I have to talk to Lu Quan later.

The older the son is, the more important it is to educate him well.

If a girl is not raised well, she will bring disaster to other people's families if she gets married.

But if your son is not raised well, he will not be the one to suffer when he gets old.

Lu Quan and Qiu didn't understand Zhang San's thoughts. Qiu also discussed with Xiaosi that the pig belly and lungs would be stewed in soup and wouldn't be finished in one meal. How about I make you a sauerkraut belly? If you like it,

Well. I’ll make a soup out of this pig lung. If I can’t finish it, my mother will make some hand-made noodles for dinner later in the evening.

Of course Lu Xiuge can. She has experienced eating three-height pancakes, brown rice, and multi-grain rice, and now she has no problem with all kinds of meat that can be eaten in her mouth.

What's more, Mrs. Qiu and Sister Xiaoqing were already good at cooking stoves. Under her conscious or unconscious guidance, they are now getting better and better.

The conditions at home have improved, and in order to take care of Xiaosi's mouth, they are willing to let go of the trouble and are not as busy as before.

Lu Quan listened to the two women discussing how to eat pork belly and lungs, and then he spoke: "I will go down two nets tonight and a few more eels. Tomorrow there will be fish, shrimps, crabs and so on. You can go to Ding's house to give them to me."

You, Aunt Ding, take it with you. They don’t have a boat, so if you want to eat fresh food, you have to spend money. If our family has fish and shrimp in the future, you can give some to your Aunt Ding’s family. You can’t always eat other people’s food.”

Although, every time Aunt Ding sees the Lu family, she always wants to stuff her family with meat.

But the Lu family are not the kind of shameless people who don't know what is good or bad. Aunt Ding stuffs it several times before they can take it once. They must send some fish and shrimp back later so that the Ding family can have a change of taste.

As soon as they got home, Lu Quan and Zhang San ran to the back of the house. Qiu rolled up her sleeves to pack the pig tripe and lungs that Xiao Si had brought back.

The weather isn't too hot now, but we can't prepare these.

Although Xiaosi didn't say anything, Qiu could still tell that she was very picky.

If the pig belly and lungs had been stored for a long time and had developed a flavor, although she would not stop eating them, she would certainly not eat more.

While Mrs. Qiu was busy on the stove, Lu Sheige ate a large bowl of food that Xiaoqing had given her to warm in the pot.

After Xiaoqing left the kitchen, Lu Xiaosi came to Qiu's side and told Aunt Ding that Uncle Ding would come and take Lu Quan to buy mules in the afternoon.

Lu Quan and Uncle Ding had already discussed the matter of buying the mule, and Mrs. Qiu nodded to express her understanding.

"Mom, let me tell you, relatives are coming to Ding's house today." After Lu Xiaosi finished talking about the business, he talked about the gossip of the Ding family.

"What kind of relatives are here?"

Qiu asked casually, but did not take Xiaosi's words to heart, which family didn't have many relatives?

The Ding family has many brothers, but it’s not like her Lu Quan family, who could be wiped out by a flood.

"Uncle Ding's third brother and his third younger sister, along with their grandson Ding Baozhu. Later, Uncle Ding's fifth and sixth younger siblings came."

Lu Xiaosi danced and faithfully reproduced what happened in the Ding family yard.

Especially when Aunt Ding bumped into her third younger brother and sister, deliberately pulling her, pinching and kicking her, causing the three younger siblings to fight in a ball, but she escaped unscathed, her emotions are vividly described.

Mrs. Qiu was still listening happily, but then her face slowly darkened.
