Chapter 11 To make braised pork, my brother-in-law comes to borrow money
After buying the silver needle, He Jincheng left the traditional Chinese medicine clinic and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Ten pounds of white flour, five pounds of vegetable oil, two pounds of pork belly, and the few food stamps in my hand, I bought them all.
In addition, I also bought some condiments such as soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and MSG.
Before leaving, I also bought a handful of candies, and I didn't have much left of the fifteen yuan I had.
Fortunately, this was the 1980s, and prices were unbelievably low.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to buy so many things if they didn’t cost a few hundred yuan.
If prices are based on prices a few decades from now, a pound of pork belly will cost more than 20 yuan.
The employees of the supply and marketing cooperative gave He Jincheng a nylon bag for free.
He put the things into the bag, picked them up, and walked back to Lianhua Village.
The ancient martial arts practice these days has not been in vain. Carrying twenty kilograms of things is not strenuous at all.
It took me ten minutes longer than when I came here, but I still got home before eleven o'clock.
After knocking on the door, Ye Qingmeng came over with the child in his arms. After confirming that it was He Jincheng, he opened the door.
"You're back……"
Ye Qingmeng said softly.
"Yes, I bought some things, but they are all missing at home!"
He Jincheng put down the things, then took out two candies and waved them towards Tingting: "Tingting, look at what these are?"
"It's candy. Dad bought candy for Tingting!"
As soon as she saw the colorful icing, Tingting shouted excitedly.
Ye Qingmeng put her on the ground, and the little girl ran up to He Jincheng and was picked up by He Jincheng.
"Haha, Tingting, come and help daddy taste what this candy tastes like."
I peeled off a piece of candy and stuffed it into Tingting's mouth. After a while, the little girl's eyes turned into crescent moons with happiness.
"It's so sweet. Tingting got some candy. Dad is so nice!"
Tingting happily hugged He Jincheng's neck and kissed him on the face.
He Jincheng was very excited for a while, and tears could not help but shine in his eyes.
Seeing this scene between father and daughter, Ye Qingmeng was very happy.
It seems pretty good if a family of three can maintain this state forever.
After playing with Tingting for a while, He Jincheng moved the things he bought today into the kitchen.
I bought some meat today, and He Jincheng is going to make a meal of braised pork for Tingting and his wife.
Cut the pork belly and put it directly into the hot pot.
First, after frying the pork, He Jincheng used a small bowl to scoop up the lard.
In this era, lard is a good thing, especially for rural people, it is a rare and delicious food.
Before the braised pork is done, the entire yard is filled with the aroma of oil.
Ye Qingmeng was washing clothes, and Tingting ran into the kitchen, saying she wanted to help He Jincheng cook the pot.
The family of three is busy doing their own thing, looking happy and happy.
More than half an hour later, the three of them were sitting at the dining table.
Ye Qingmeng looked at the red braised pork and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Ever since I married He Jincheng, I have never eaten such a large piece of meat.
"Honey, you've worked hard, let's have a piece first!"
He Jincheng picked up a piece of fat and thin meat and put it into Ye Qingmeng's bowl.
"I...I'm not hungry, you can eat."
Ye Qingmeng said this, but he couldn't take his eyes away from the tempting piece of braised pork.
He Jincheng smiled, knowing that his wife was embarrassed.
So he turned his target to Tingting.
"Tingting, this piece is yours, try it to see if it tastes good."
He Jincheng gave Tingting a piece of meat with more fat on her jacket so that it would be easier for the child to bite it.
Tingting opened her mouth obediently and took a bite of the fat and thin braised pork. Her big eyes suddenly widened.
Although she was still young and didn't understand many things, this wonderful taste that she had never experienced before made the little girl almost jump with joy.
"It's delicious, it's so delicious, Tingting wants to eat more!"
He Jincheng was very happy and continued feeding.
When Ye Qingmeng saw this scene, his heart felt warm, and he couldn't help but smile.
This slight change was captured by He Jincheng.
He smiled, picked up a piece of braised pork, and put it in Ye Qingmeng's bowl.
At this time, He Jincheng felt that he had truly found his home.
After lunch, Tingting felt a little sleepy. Ye Qingmeng coaxed Tingting to sleep and took the initiative to find He Jincheng.
"He Jincheng... I don't want to be idle all the time. How about you see what I can do and I'll help you!"
Her voice was very soft and a little shy.
"Just be responsible for eating a little fatter, and just sit aside and look as beautiful as a flower!"
He Jincheng waved his hand.
I owe my wife so much, and I don't want her to work even a single minute in this life.
"No, it's too uncomfortable to keep me idle all the time. If you don't let me do anything, then I'll go find some work outside!"
Ye Qingmeng pursed her lips and said, her voice rising a bit.
He Jincheng was slightly startled, but soon understood what Ye Qingmeng was thinking, and immediately nodded with a smile.
"Okay then, you should tidy up the house first, and then arrange the medicinal materials in the yard by category. The sun has been nice these days, and many medicinal materials have been dried, and they will be put away tonight."
Ye Qingmeng nodded and went directly to work.
Although she doesn't understand Chinese medicine, most of these medicinal materials cannot be named.
But Ye Qingmeng is not stupid, she just arranges the medicinal materials into categories according to their shapes.
Seeing Ye Qingmeng's orderly work, He Jincheng was very surprised.
In my previous life, I really didn't notice that my wife was so smart.
It seems that his asshole has buried his wife's talent.
If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely let my wife learn something she likes.
In the afternoon, I continued to set up stalls and see doctors.
Because there were no clinic visits in the morning, many people came in the afternoon.
However, they are basically common geriatric diseases, and many of the patients who come to see the doctor are the elderly.
I saw more than twenty patients in one afternoon and earned about ten yuan in consultation fees. The day seemed to have ended in such a dull way.
Just when the last patient was sent away and he was about to close the stall and go home to cook, a familiar person suddenly appeared.
This man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and carrying a leather bag under his arm. He looked like a successful businessman.
However, He Jincheng's brows furrowed.
This person is not an outsider, but his brother-in-law, Ye Qingmeng's biological brother, Ye Chunlin.
"Brother-in-law, business is good, I made more than ten yuan this afternoon!"
Ye Chunlin said with a smile.
When he came here today, he originally wanted to borrow money from Ye Qingmeng.
When I got here, I found that the entrance to my sister's house was very lively. He Jincheng, who usually eats well and is lazy, actually looked sick.
So he kept standing not far away and watched, and was surprised to find that He Jincheng had made more than ten yuan in one fell swoop.
This made Ye Chunlin have other thoughts.
It seems that if you want to borrow money, you have to start with your brother-in-law.
