Lu Sheige received Lu Quan who had returned from collecting the fishing nets and got on the boat. Qiu had already cooked the pig intestines.

The pig's trotters and pork bones were also put into the pot together, blanched in water, and left for a while.

Lu Singge and Lu Xiaoyu squatted side by side by the stove, watching Qiu turn the pig's trotters and bones in the boiling water and skim off the foam on them.

"Are you cooking meat today?" Lu Quan carried the bucket and placed it at Qiu's feet. "It's not easy to catch fish recently, so these are the only ones we got. It's not worth buying. You can let the little carp clean up and dry the fish."

.”

"Um."

Qiu glanced at the wooden barrel at her feet and sighed. The fish in the smaller half of the barrel were very fresh, but not very big. If they were sent to the town to be sold, even if they could be sold, they probably wouldn't cost more than a few cents.

"Little carp, go and clean up the fish."

Lu Xiaoli responded, carrying a bucket and preparing to go to the river to kill fish. Lu Shege followed and said, "Second sister, these miscellaneous fish can be made into small fish pot stickers."

Jiangba is near the water, and the fish balls are made well, as are the small fish pot stickers.

Delicious offal fish is put into the pot with onions, ginger and garlic, and a circle of corn tortillas or flatbreads is attached to the edge of the pot, which is the small fish pot stickers commonly eaten by locals.

The Lu family has a boat and eats more fish than rice.

Lu Singge especially loves the fish pot stickers made by Qiu. Even the pancakes on the side of the pot are more delicious than the usual steamed pancakes.

"Eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat."

Lu Xiaoli glared at Lu Xiange: "We will eat pig intestines and fish at night, why don't you go to heaven?"

After saying that, regardless of whether Lu Sheige was angry or not, he shook his braid and carried the wooden bucket to the stone steps by the river to kill fish.

Lu Sheige saw Lu Xiaoli going to kill the fish angrily, but he was not angry and turned around to find Qiu.

"Mom, let's make braised pork sausage later. I'll teach you how to make it."

Thinking of the braised pork sausage, Lu Xiangge wanted to drool. When she was in the orphanage, she liked this one. Because the orphanage had its own braised sausage stall, and they couldn't sell out the vegetables and meat, they would bring them back to give them teeth.

Among them, her favorite is the braised pork sausage. When she takes a bite, the rich soy sauce flavor mixed with the plump fat suddenly overflows in her mouth. The soft, glutinous and chewy smooth taste is like dancing on the tip of the tongue, which is addictive.

It's a pity that I can't even eat enough to eat here, let alone braised pork sausage or braised pork intestines.

"Hey, okay, listen to Xiaosi and make braised pork sausage. If Xiaosi says to do this, mother will do it."

As long as it was brought up by Lu Sheige, Ms. Qiu would not refuse. She quickly poured the pig's feet and bones that had been boiled in boiling water into a pot nearby to cool down.

I had pig intestines for lunch, so I’ll save the pig’s feet and bones for later.

Today I eat pig intestines, and the day after tomorrow I just eat pig knuckles and pork bones during the Dragon Boat Festival...

It's rare to have meaty food at home, and we can't live without it. If you eat it today, you'll eat it tomorrow, and if you leave it for the day after, it's just right.

There is a meat dish, which is also considered a holiday.

Thinking about the Qiu family, I feel heart palpitations. When did their life get so good?

You can eat meat every day!

Lu Xiaoli squatted on the stone beside the boat to kill fish. She glanced at Lu Sheige and then at the steaming clay stove coming out.

She wanted to be angry, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Lu Xiaoli was angry that Xiaosi had spent so many copper coins without asking, but he was also happy that the family could eat meat.

I can finally eat meat!

Between these two complicated emotions, Lu Xiaoli was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether to be angry with Xiao Si or to praise Xiao Si.

Just, very melancholy!

Following Lu Xiange's instructions, Qiu blanched the pig's large intestine, then added salt, onions, ginger, garlic, seasonings and chili peppers, and stewed it in a pot.

Xiao Si said that you can eat it after it is stewed and the flavor is gone. Of course, it will be more delicious if it is stewed, cut into pieces, and stir-fried with sauce and chili.

Everyone on their fishing boat can eat spicy food, except Lu Xiaowu, who is still breastfeeding.

There was pig intestine stewed in the pot, and the meaty aroma had a slight stench, which aroused the envy of several people nearby.

The Lu family was so overwhelmed that they had no food to eat and had to make porridge and stew.

Then I heard Li Canguan's mother say that the Lu family stewed pig intestines, and the envy in my heart was not that strong.

Pig intestines, no one likes to eat them in good years.

It really stinks.

Making it also wastes oil and firewood.

But smelling the aroma coming from the Lu family's house, they inevitably felt greedy in their hearts.

In the past two years, when they were hungry, they even gnawed tree bark, let alone pig intestines. If they hadn't lived off Honghu Lake, they might have lost their lives long ago.

No matter how smelly that thing is, it still smells like meat!

Some people have thought about buying a pair tomorrow and trying them out.

It's cheap anyway.

"Father, mother, this is the money from selling reed leaves today."

In the room, Lu Sheige took out the money bag from his arms, opened it, and poured out the copper plates inside.

A pile of copper plates clattered onto the table, and everyone in the family looked at it.

Even Lu Xiaowu, who was lying on the bed, no longer groaned, but listened to the crisp sound of coins falling on the table.

"So many copper coins!"

Lu Xiaoli stretched out his hand and touched them one by one. His fingers were slightly cold, and he felt as if he was dreaming.

"not much."

Lu Sheige looked at how Lu Xiaoli counted one copper coin per coin, "Today, we only sold sixty-five reed leaves."

They gathered a total of three baskets of reed leaves and gave two handfuls to the grocery shopping lady. The remaining ones were sold for exactly sixty-five cents.

Lu Xiaoli had already calculated these accounts many times on his way back.

Now that she saw this pile of copper coins in front of her, she still couldn't believe it.

Sixty-five articles is not a lot?

Lu Quan and Qiu looked at each other, their words were childish.

They never thought that the reed leaves all over the river beach could be sold for money.

You know, times are bad now, fish are hard to catch and hard to sell. When Lu Quan's fishing was good, he could only earn more than ten or twenty cents a day.

If the weather is bad or the network is empty, there will be no income on that day.

It was also difficult to go to the dock to carry the work. Yesterday, Chen Pingan and I were busy working for half a day. Luojia Cloth Shop only gave them ten cents and deducted half of it.

It must be said that their hands were rough and the fabric was scratched.

The conscience of heaven and earth, the cloth is wrapped with something, they don't dare to look at it, how can it be scratched?

Lu Xiuge watched Lu Xiaoli counting all the coins over and over again. The sunlight outside the house shone on Lu Xiaoli's hands. His thin black hands were holding the money and were reluctant to put it down.

A handful of copper coins was so overflowing in her hand that it threatened to leak out from between her fingers. Lu Xiaoli was so frightened that she carefully put it back on the table, fearing that she would accidentally drop one on the ground and roll it to that corner never to be found again.

"I spent 20 cents on pig's feet and big bones, and that piece of cloth, which was sold cheaply in the store. I bought five feet for 17 cents. I also bought aniseed, which cost three cents..."

I bought five feet of cloth at 17 Wen, which is very cheap.

Everyone was a little surprised and felt that they had taken a big advantage.

Lu Xiaoli wanted to ask why aniseed was so expensive, but suddenly he remembered the bark fruits that Xiaosi took out when his mother was cooking pig intestines just now, and said they were aniseed.

Just a little something like dried tree bark and fruit is worth three cash?

Three pennies, in the past, could buy two big meat buns, three sesame-seed pancakes, six chickens...

What a waste!

Lu Xiaoli didn't want to talk for a moment. She originally thought that buying meat and cloth was already too much.
Chapter completed!
