The food stall owner acted very quickly, and within a short time, three bowls of hot sauced pork noodles were on the table.
Gouzi had picked up his chopsticks a long time ago. As soon as the noodles came up, he picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted delicious. Zhang Da took a big mouthful of noodles. Seeing that his son had eaten the meat well, he wanted to eat the meat in his bowl.
Called it to my son.
"Uncle Zhang, if Brother Gouzi doesn't have enough meat, you can add more. You can have your own. It takes a lot of effort to push the car all morning."
Zhuang Keqing knew what Zhang Da was thinking, because Qin Manzhi treated her the same way. In the past, when Zhuang Da was still here, if there was a person with dry mouth in the family, her mother would save some food from her mouth and give it to her, and she would eat it without hesitation.
Without waiting to open her mouth, she asked the boss to add more meat to the dog. At this time, the wontons also arrived.
The small square table surrounded by the three of them is now filled with several large bowls.
This boss is really good at business. It is said that it is soy sauce pork noodles, and there are five pieces of meat topping on it, not to mention the wontons, each one has a thin skin and a big filling, so the dog has no time to raise his head while eating.
Zhuang Keqing was also hungry, so she took a sip of Yang Chun Noodle soup first.
It has a light and umami flavor, mixed with the sauce aroma of the toppings on top, and is also delicious.
As for the sauced meat above, it doesn't taste good in your mouth. Maybe it's because only bean paste is used for seasoning, which doesn't suppress the meaty smell very well. If you chew it carefully, the smell will faintly penetrate your nose.
, it really can’t be considered delicious.
She thought that in her previous life, when cooking meat, she would add some cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, and then stew it with spices. But here, because wine is made from grains, the state has explicitly limited the amount produced each year, so the price of wine is extremely high, which is not the case at all.
It's affordable for a small business.
I bought spices at a loss. Zhuang Keqing was secretly happy.
After lunch, she planned to go to the meat stall, buy some offal and the like, and come back to do experiments.
Gouzi was at the age when the eldest son was eating the poor old man. After a quick meal, he was the first one to finish all the noodles and wontons, and then Zhang Da also finished his meal. Both of them drank up the soup. Zhuang Keqing was the slowest to eat.
However, Haolai also ate them all, and in the end he couldn't drink the soup anymore, which made the dog feel pity for a while.
Afterwards, several people ate and drank enough, pushed the empty cart, and came all the way to the meat stall on South Street.
It was already past noon, and due to the hot weather, the butchers behind the stalls were already a little sleepy at this time, and they could barely catch the flies that bit on the pieces of meat.
Zhuang Keqing walked to the meat stall and saw that there were only a few pieces of meat on the simple wooden platform. He wanted to ask if there were any big bones left. He had been stewing soup every day at home and had finished eating it long ago.
"Uncle, do you still have big bones?"
Butcher Zhang raised his eyelids and recognized Zhuang Keqing at a glance.
He has an impression of this girl.
I came here twice, but each time I bought a lot of big bones with shaved flesh. I don’t know what these bare bones can do when I go back. Could it be that there is a dog at home?
"have."
Butcher Zhang took out a large basket from behind and put at least five or six large bones in it.
"How many do you want?"
"Give them all to me." Zhuang Keqing doesn't mind having too many bones. This stuff is cheap and affordable, and it's great for making soup at home.
"Do you still have internal organs in the water?" She had not forgotten about the marinade experiment.
This braised food only tastes good if you put a bunch of miscellaneous things together. It's just pieces of meat, but it doesn't have much flavor.
"You girl, why are you going into the water again today?" Butcher Zhang wondered, "Let me tell you first, the water is not easy to handle, and the smell is fishy. Although it is cheap, it tastes bad when made, so don't blame me.
"
"No, no, my family is just like this. Could you please show me something?" Zhuang Keqing now does his own business, and he is no longer as reserved as before when dealing with people, and his tone is much more casual.
When the butcher saw her insistence, he dragged out another wooden basin, without bothering to put it on the counter, and just let her come in and take a look.
"What do you want? Just pick it up. Even if you pay 10 cents."
"10 Wen?"
"What? Still too expensive?"
No...it's just too cheap, it seems to be no different from giving it away for free.
Zhuang Keqing was thinking in her mind, but there was no clue on her face. She shook her head, smiled at Butcher Zhang and said, "I don't think it's too expensive, I just think you are doing business well!"
No one doesn’t like to hear good words, not to mention that these words are more credible when they come from a little girl. Zhang Butcher felt that he had been arguing with him all day long to send more scraps, or to persuade him to go.
Compared with those who have only a small amount of money, this little girl is really pleasing to the eye.
"You take your pick, and tell me when you've made your choice. If it's not enough, there's another set here, so take your pick."
Zhuang Keqing followed the direction pointed by his finger and saw that there was a wooden basin inside, which contained another set of drains.
The untreated sewer was filled with a strong smell of blood and internal organs, but she didn't mind the dirty smell, so she started looking through it.
She picked for a long time and picked out two pig livers, two pig hearts, two sets of large and small intestines and two sets of kidneys. This was considered good.
"You don't want anything else?"
"That's all for now, please excuse me." Zhuang Keqing spoke politely. When she finally left, even with the rounded bones, Butcher Zhang only accepted her 20 cents.
Only then did a few people set foot on the road back to the village.
Before Gouzi set off, he never expected that today would be such a fun day.
Went to the town, saw so many strange things, and even ate a lot of meat. The only time this dog had to deliver goods back and forth was only a dozen miles away. It was such a bad job that he had no time to talk to the people next to him.
The brothers in Fang were bragging.
After returning to the village, Zhang Da directly pushed the cart to deliver Zhuang Keqing and the things she bought to the door of her house, and then left.
Before leaving, he was stuffed with 20 yuan of hard-earned money. He refused to take it, but Zhuang Keqing said that if he didn't accept it this time, he would not dare to ask him for help next time. Qin Manzhi also agreed and asked him to accept it, and he
He reluctantly took it. But when he got home, he felt that the money was too much, so he finally handed it over to the public.
"Is this from the banker's girl?" Mrs. Liu asked, her tone was calm, and she didn't notice anything different.
"Yeah, it's just a delivery. She has to pay hard-earned money. She paid for all the lunch in this town." Zhang Da scratched his head: "I'm really ashamed."
"As soon as she gives it, you take it. From now on, just do your best in your work."
After giving up her words, Mrs. Liu collected 20 copper coins and returned to the house.
Her temper has changed a bit since the last time she escaped from hell, and she is not as aggressive as before. Now the atmosphere in the family is harmonious, the son is willing to work hard, the wife is capable, and even the grandchildren are filial, and there is a sense of prosperity.
.
Mrs. Liu knew that this was all the fault of the banker's girl. She had a high self-esteem, and the soft words she said when she came to thank her that day were the limit, but she never forgot the grace of saving her life. Look at the girl's behavior now,
It was indeed a good thing. He decided that no matter what happened in the future, as long as someone dared to bully the mother and daughter, it was time for her reputation as a shrew, which had been called a shrew for decades, to shine.
