"It's four and a half yuan per catty. The stall is closing at noon now. I'll sell it to you for four yuan and three." This uncle looked quite talkative.
"Okay, then cut a pound of pork belly for me." Cen Li said without thinking much.
"Okay." The uncle who sold the meat raised his knife and started to cut it.
When Cen Li took a look, hey, the blade of the knife kept slanting outwards. This was definitely more than a pound!
Sure enough, one person said, "Okay, just five dollars."
Cen Li complained in her heart that she had really misjudged her. This was really not honest at all.
But she didn't say much, as five yuan of meat was indeed not much. In the end, she bought another pound of pork suet and half a pound of pork liver.
Pork suet is refined oil, and pig liver can replenish blood, making it a relatively affordable health food.
On the way back, Cenli went to the store and bought a bottle of calcium tablets.
The calcium tablets inside were milky white and triangular. Cen Li ate two of them. They were sweet and fragrant, just like candy, and very delicious.
The main reason is that it is also cheap, only one dollar and fifty cents per bottle, and there are 100 tablets in total.
In her previous life, she always had leg pain. Since the concept of calcium deficiency was not yet popular at this time, her mother didn't understand and took her to see a doctor. Although she took medicine every time and it was cured, the pain started to return soon after.
It wasn’t until she grew older that she realized she was suffering from calcium deficiency after being reminded by a friend.
Now that I think about it, that doctor was unkind and never told her that it was due to calcium deficiency, otherwise she wouldn't have spent so much money in vain.
I really suffered the loss of being uneducated.
Afterwards, Cenli searched again and found no store selling rubber gloves, so she had to give up temporarily and thought of finding time to go into the city to take a look.
After returning, Bai Xuanyuan went home directly, and Cen Li returned the tricycle and started making lunch.
I looked at the things at home. There were eggplants, cabbage, cucumbers and some eggs.
Cen Li first cooked the rice in a pressure cooker, then cut the pork suet and simmered it.
Then, while preparing the dishes, look at the pot.
After she washed and cut it, the oil was almost finished, filtered out the clean oil, and kept the oil residue for later use.
Because she planned to use it to make hot pot cabbage.
Heat oil in a pan, then put the thinly sliced pork belly in, stir out the oil, add garlic, ginger and oil residue, then add the torn cabbage and stir-fry over high heat, finally add chili, seasonings and light soy sauce, like this
, a salty, crispy and tender dry pot cabbage would be great.
I fried cucumbers with eggs and cooked pork liver soup, so I managed to make two dishes and one soup.
After Cen Li rinsed the pressure cooker with cold water and just opened the lid, Huang Xiulan came back.
He was still holding some dishes in his hands, and his face was covered with sweat while wearing a bamboo hat. It seemed that he had hurried all the way back.
"Mom, you're back, come and eat." Seeing Huang Xiulan's return, Cen Li immediately stepped forward and took the things from her hands.
"Ah, Xiaolizi, you...when did you know how to cook and look so presentable?"
Huang Xiulan was surprised when she saw the very good-looking dishes on the table. Although there were only two dishes, they were enough.
After all, she had never taught her daughter how to cook.
The main reason is that her family can't afford good things, so she doesn't know how to cook, let alone how to teach her.
"Well, I saw it when I lived with my grandma before, and I learned that they all separated the dishes one by one like this."
Cen Li began to take the opportunity to brainwash Huang Xiulan, so as to pave the way for improving food in the future.
"That's it. My little pear has grown up and is really amazing." After Huang Xiulan praised her, she discovered that there was meat on the table and said in surprise, "Little pear, where did you get this meat? Mom didn't remember to buy meat."
