Chapter 153 Chen the Butcher's Cheap Meat
rushing to catch the car, it was none other than Zhou Wang.Could it be that Zhou Xia came to the county town to get her teeth fixedThinking about this, Yang Ruqing then hugged Luo Babao and took a fe...Besides, there are five mouths to feed at home, rice is expensive, and we have to be careful with our spending. Most of the time, we rely on vegetables to fill our stomachs.
Therefore, Yang Ruqing made an agreement with Sun's family before going out in the morning.
Today I came to the market and bought a lot of vegetables. At least, it should be enough for three days.
Three days later, when you finish eating it, come again and I'll send some tofu. Just buy it and bring it home!
Luo Fengtang nodded: "Okay, you say where to go, we'll go there!"
His situation is also similar, with no farmland and no vegetable garden.
Both he and his elder brother always relied on his bow and arrow for their livelihood.
After selling the game, I'd buy some rice and flour. When hunting, I would also dig up some wild vegetables to supplement my meals.
Today he earned one hundred and sixty wen, he also wants to buy some vegetables to improve his uncle's diet.
Then, the two of them laughed and chatted as they headed towards Washi Market.
Luo Fengtang spent one copper coin to store his unicycle in a carriage depot at the entrance of Wa Market.
Luo Fengtang took down two wooden barrels and carried them in his hands, following Yang Ruqing into the tile market.
The reason I brought a bucket is that I will use it later to carry things.
In Washi, because it wasn't a market day, it wasn't as bustling.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But as the largest town for miles around, there are still many kinds of stalls and vendors within Washi Market.
Yang Ruqing entered the Washi Market, her eyes immediately fixed on the fruits and vegetables on the stalls.
The market has fixed stalls, and also farmers from nearby villages carrying baskets of vegetables to sell.
Yang Ruqing deliberately chose the stalls of peasant women because they were temporary vegetable vendors who didn't need to pay a fixed stall rental fee.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
For the same cabbage, the fixed stall sells it for one penny per catty, while the farmer women squatting in the corner sell it for two or three pennies per catty!
Yang Ruqing spent four copper coins and bought six jin of large cabbage.
“Young boy, this cabbage is good. It’s fresh and crisp. You should buy some to take home too.”
Yang Ruqing was filling a wooden bucket with the cabbage she had bought, while also persuading Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang readily nodded and bought several kilograms as well.
The woman selling Chinese cabbage was overjoyed. She grabbed a string of homegrown garlic and gave each of them two cloves.
Each one has seven or eight petals, enough to stir-fry for several days.
Next, Yang Ruoqing bought a few catties of white radish, a few catties of yam, two handfuls of garlic sprouts, four or five cauliflower heads. In total, she spent twenty-five wen!
Luo Fengtang's household only consisted of him and his uncle, so their need for vegetables was less than Yang Ruqing's.
But he also followed her example, buying a little of everything, not too much, enough for his uncle to try something different.
"I'll buy the vegetables here first, and I'll go take a look at the meat over there."
Yang Ruqing said, raising her foot and walking towards the row of stalls selling meat.
These days, the stalls selling meat are hardly different from modern ones.
On a butcher’s block, wider and thicker than a desk, lay knives of meat.
On the shelf in front of the meat counter, hung pig liver, pork intestines, ribs, spare ribs, and pig bowels.
And on some stalls, there were still huge pig heads.
The pig had been stripped of its hair, and with its eyes closed, its face was as white as snow. At first glance, it looked like it was smiling right at you, quite amusing.
It's just this smell, not very good.
The two of them walked along, Yang Ruoqing leaning against the stalls and inquiring about prices.
>
Pork belly is fifteen wen per catty, ribs eighteen wen per catty. Rib bone ten wen, pig liver eight wen, pig kidneys eight wen per pair. Pig intestines are the cheapest, six wen per catty...
"Oh my, isn't this Fatya and Tang Are you here to weigh the pork Come over to Uncle Chen's, Uncle Chen's has the best meat!"
Ahead of them, a portly middle-aged man stood by two stalls of meat and yelled over to them.
Yang Ruqing looked up. The middle-aged man seemed a little unfamiliar, as if she had never seen him before.
That brow and those features, especially that hippo mouth, seem so familiar. Like I've seen it somewhere before!
That's the father of Chen Goudan, Chen Hu, and Chen Xiong. He's Chen Butcher from our village.
As Yang Ruqing was stunned, Luo Fengtang leaned closer and whispered in her ear.
Yang Ruqing suddenly realized.
No wonder this hippo's mouth looks so familiar, it turns out to be Chen Goudan and their father!
The father is to blame for his sons' bad character. Three sons like that mean the father isn't much better himself!
Yang Ruqing decided to ignore him and turned around to go back.
But Chen the butcher had already scuttled out from behind the meat block and come to Yang Ruqing and Luo Fengtang's side.
“Fatty, Tang’s child, if you’re buying meat, please support Uncle Chen’s business. We’re all from the same village. Uncle Chen will definitely give you the best meat at a reasonable price!”
As Chen the butcher was speaking, the other butchers behind him were also trying hard to attract Yang Ruoheng and Luo Fengtang.
If someone from the same village were selling pork here, Yang Ruqing might even go out of her way to help them with their business.
Where you buy meat, isn't it all the same price Buying from someone in your village at least shows some human connection, right
But when the other person was Chen Butcher, Yang Ruqing was unwilling.
And let's not mention how many times Chen Gou Dan repeatedly bullied the original owner and his younger brother, Da An.
Because they threw shards of broken bowls into her field last time, injuring Gaga's foot, Yang Ruqing wouldn't care about their business.
However, Yang Ruqing still had a flash in her eyes and asked Chen the butcher with a smile.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Then how much can you discount for us” Yang Ruohong leaned to the side, avoiding Chen Butcher’s hand reaching out to grab her, and asked with a smile.
Chen the butcher was stunned for a moment, looked around, and whispered, "We're from the same village, Uncle Chen wouldn't pit you against anyone! Five-flower pork is fifteen wen per jin, ribs are twenty wen, and I'll throw in two taels of pig liver for you to stew soup for your father. It's good for his leg bones..."
Yang Ruqing twitched the corner of her mouth. Well, she didn't get a good deal, and her ribs were two coins more expensive!
She turned her head and met Luofengtang's gaze. Both their eyes held the same mockery.
"Uncle Chen, your pigs are much more expensive than theirs! We're poor folks and can't afford such pricey meat. You should give this big bargain to someone else! Come on, let's go!"
Yang Ruqing turned to leave.
Chen Tuchu reached out again to grab Yang Ruqing, but Yang Ruqing dodged by sidestepping and hiding behind Luofeng Tang.
At the same time, Luofeng Tang tacitly took a step forward.
A towering and sturdy frame, like an unshakeable mountain, stood before Butcher Chen.
"Hey, Little Tang, what are you trying to do" Chen the butcher glared at Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang cast Chen the butcher a cold and hard glance, saying nothing. But the warning in his eyes made Chen the butcher inexplicably shiver.
This kid, such fierce killing intent!
By the time Chen, the butcher, came to his senses, Yang Ruqing had already stood in front of a meat block on that side.
She was pointing at the pork on the butcher's block, gesturing with her hands as if she were slicing it herself. The butcher had already grabbed his cleaver and started to cut...
Chen the butcher was so angry his teeth ached, but every line has its own rules.
If he rushes up to harass them again, not only will he fail to recover the business, but he'll also cause trouble.bruised and battered. Yu Jinfu, enraged, threw down a letter of divorce and scurried back to Yujia Village with his tail between his legs.After that, Lao Yang never came back. At first, his daughter...
