"I've always been close to your mother. Damao, quickly go back and look after the pot.”
He had already rinsed his mouth, so he couldn't continue chatting.
"Hey!"
Xu Damao helplessly turned around and went home. He looked at the pot and had to wake his sister up to eat.
"Brother, do you know how to tie your hair?”
Xu Fengling was not very happy. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw that her hair was messy.
"Sis, I'm learning."
Xu Damao's face was numb. Can't you let him have a good New Year?
After breakfast, all the rich and powerful people started to set off. Li Wuwei pushed his bicycle to the front yard and met Shazhu.
"Good morning, Sister Qin!"
Shazhu didn't care about Li Wuwei.
"Morning!"
Qin Huairu replied politely.
Li Wuwei didn't mind. This was Silly Zhu's habit and he couldn't change it.
Ignoring this joke, he drove Qin Huairu to the entrance of the rolling mill. After a little styling, they went to Dongdan Market.
Inside, it was really lively. There were many people buying vegetables. There were also many villagers selling their own agricultural and sideline products at the entrance of the vegetable market. They would sell their own things and it was not speculation.
He didn't bring a basket, which would be too much of a homebody. It was more fashionable to use a cloth bag.
There weren't many fresh vegetables on this day, but there were green onions, onions, and radishes. They were the old breed with green skin and red hearts, commonly known as the heart's beauty. There were also a small number of round white radishes.
He bought a little of everything. It was a little more expensive than usual, but it was normal. It was a holiday.
After a while, they arrived at the meat stall. The meat was really not fat because the pigs ate grass. Sweet potatoes and corn were all eaten by people. Even the chaff was mostly used to feed chickens and ducks, and there were even people who ate it.
The minimum requirement for the food station to purchase live pigs was 120 catties. Once this weight was reached, they could be slaughtered and listed on the market.
The pork belly of such a big pig was not fat, and the pork trotters were boring to stew.
In addition, everyone ate less meat these days, so regardless of gender, old or young, they all craved big fat meat. It was just that it was not easy to sell it with money.
"Master, help me weigh this bone and take this piece of clip meat.”
Li Wuwei looked around and picked a piece of meat.
"Alright! I'll give you 15 cents for the bones and 78 cents for the meat.”
The chef swiftly weighed the bones and meat.
Li Wuwei fiddled with the hook and said,""Can these three ribs be sold separately?”
"Why not? I'll charge you 53 cents for the small ribs. You know what's good. The ribs are small but fragrant.”
The chef happily sliced the ribs, and the remaining meat was easy to sell.
Nowadays, pork ribs were commonly known as "split equally between humans and dogs." Buying them was equivalent to losing half. It was really not worth it.
"I've calculated it for you. Yo, it's half a point short. Add some pork fat and charge you a total of three yuan.”
"Alright, here's the money."
Li Wuwei took the meat and carried it with a straw rope. There were five catties of bones, one and a half catties of meat, and about two catties of ribs.
Usually, he would be so eye-catching, but today, it was normal. Let's go.
"Yo, Li Wuwei, you bought so much!”
Third Aunt's voice was very recognizable.
He turned his head and saw that it was all people from the courtyard. Not only was Third Aunt there, but even Jia Zhangshi and Chen Bi Hua were there. They had come in a group.
Jia Zhang-shi looked at what was in her hands and her eyes turned red. She muttered,"One look and you can tell that he doesn't know how to live. How can he buy so many bones? There's not much meat on them.”
This time, the aunties in the courtyard also echoed,"Li Wuwei, it's fine if you buy big bones. It's cheap and nutritious. Why do you want to buy small ribs? How much money would this cost?"
"The meat fragrance on the ribs! Third Aunt, you've been here for a while, right? You haven't picked anything yet.”
The few people in front of him were all stingy people in the courtyard. They wouldn't make a move unless they met a cheap one.
"We're shopping and comparing our goods.”
Third Aunt was not embarrassed. Which family did not live like this? They were like you, who only cared about the food and did not care about the price.
"Alright, then I'll go back first. Since I woke up early today, I'll go fishing. Maybe I can add a dish at night.”
He immediately hung the meat on the bicycle and pushed it out.
"Pfft, if we follow their example, we'll have to squander sooner or later. He definitely didn't pay Old He back this month. Qin Huairu will only be unlucky if she follows him. Don't look at how much meat there is, it'll all end up in his stomach.”
Jia Zhang-shi muttered, her heart hard to calm down!
"Jia Zhang-shi, don't say a word. He tricked Old He, we should be happy.”
Third Aunt saw that Li Wuwei had bought meat and felt at ease. She didn't have to worry about being taken advantage of during the new year.
"That's right. Old He rides a three-wheeled motorcycle and sees cash every day. He doesn't lack food and drink.”
The aunties in the courtyard were unwilling to bring Jia Zhang-shi along. Every time they discussed the price, Jia Zhang-shi would easily quarrel with others. The influence of the big festival was not good.
"Aiya, why did Uncle Ho lend him money to buy a sewing machine and buy so much meat? That bone soup is delicious.”
Jia Zhang-shi felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She lived a hard life honestly and dutifully, but Li Wuwei, that bad boy, could eat and drink freely. Was there any justice in this?
On the other hand, when Li Wuwei left the market, he saw two little girls standing by the roadside, staring at the meat hanging on his bicycle.
However, they were all gluttonous these days, so they didn't think too much about it and pushed the cart forward.
"Sis, that uncle bought a lot of meat.”
The shorter girl almost drooled when she saw the pork.
"Haitang, don't be greedy. Mom will buy it for us later.”
The older servant girl was also craving for it, so she forced herself to look away.
Li Wuwei suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at the two girls carefully. Damn, could these be the Yu sisters? It was Yu Li and Yu Haitang.
His family's preserved fruit shop sold "Begonia" preserved fruits, so he had a special impression of these two words.
"Girl, where are your adults?”
Hearing his question, the younger girl said sweetly,""Hello, Uncle. My mother went to buy vegetables over there. She'll be back soon.”
"Okay, wait for your mother here. Don't run around, okay? Come, Uncle will give you some candy and preserved fruit.”
Li Wuwei wanted to find out their names and see if they were really those two girls. He also wanted to see how Haitang ate Haitang.
He immediately took out a handful of candies from his pocket, or in fact, from his space, and stuffed them into the big girl's hand. He also grabbed a handful of preserved begonia fruits and stuffed them into the little girl's hand.
This made the two girls dumbfounded. How could they still get delicious food?
The eldest girl reacted quickly and shook her head."Uncle, we're not meeting."
The little girl also thought of something and said,"No, uncle, we won't."
"D * mn, what are you guys talking about?”
Li Wuwei's face darkened."Why would I? I'm just a kind uncle who's passing by. I'm leaving. Wait for your mother."”
Worried that he would be misunderstood, he hopped onto his bicycle and ran away. It was hard to be a good person. He was always misunderstood by the world.
"Sister, uncle is gone. Uncle is not a bad person.”
Yu Haitang held the preserved fruit with both hands. She lowered her head and wanted to eat it.
Yu Li held the candy with both hands and said,"Haitang, don't eat it. Wait for Mommy to come back and take a look.”
"Then when will Mom come back?”
Yu Haitang was anxious. The preserved fruit in her hand made her crave it too much. She had never seen it before.
Just as she was talking, Yu's mother came back with a basket of vegetables. She went to the entrance of the alley. There was a vegetable seller there, and it was cheaper than at the entrance of the market.
It was the farmers who were far away from the suburbs. They came late and did not manage to get a seat. They hid in the alley beside them to sell vegetables.
"Mama, hurry up and look at what uncle gave you."”
Yu Haitang raised both her hands and smiled.
"Lili, Haitang, where did you get the things in your hands? What uncle?”
It took Mother Yu a while to figure out the situation. She was stunned. Was there really such a kind-hearted uncle?
"Mommy, can I eat this?"
Yu Haitang couldn't stand it.
"You can eat it. This is a preserved fruit made from Begonia fruit. It's the same as your name. Your father named you after Begonia back then.”
Even though Mother Yu said so, she still ate a small one first. It tasted so good. There was no problem.
Seeing that her mother was fine after eating it, Yu Haitang happily ate one. She was so happy that her eyebrows curved.
Yu Li handed the candy to her mother and kept one for herself. She was also very happy.
Li Wuwei took the vegetables home first, then took the fishing rod and tools, locked the door, and planned to go out again.
Thinking about how the two girls actually called him uncle, they had no sense of judgment. He was young and beautiful. No matter what, they should call him little brother!
It was just that he had yet to figure out if it was those two girls. Forget it, the storyline characters that were supposed to come would appear sooner or later.
Or go fishing and eat extra food at night!
This fish was not like other things. It could be found in the river. If they could not catch it, they would take it out from the reward market to subsidize their families.
Others would only envy his fishing skills. There was nothing wrong with that!
Not long after, the moat was right outside Dongzhimen. He was fully equipped. After choosing a good place, he set up the chair and put on his coat.
Although his physique wasn't cold, he had to be fully styled. Everyone else was like this!
At noon, a waiter specially ran half a mile to bring him a bowl of meat noodles with fried eggs on it. Because he ran fast, it was still hot.
This was the takeout he had ordered when he came. Fishermen would be hungry too.
