Chen Yuping was reborn as a boy with a shallow mole and difficulty in giving birth. He was 19 years old and no one came to visit him.

The original owner was very depressed and distressed about this, but Chen Yuping was different.

No one wants him and he can't get married, which is just right! Being alone is too free and easy.

Chen Yuping, who was living a happy life, picked up a child in the mountains. Thinking that the child was very pitiful, he raised the child.

But this tall and strong man who suddenly appeared...

Chapter 1

When Chen Yuping got up, the sun had not yet come out, but it was still bright.

Only my father was at home, preparing breakfast in the kitchen, while my father and younger brother were still working in the fields.

"Dad."

"Wake up, wash up quickly, your father and brother should be back soon."

Chen Yuping agreed, gargling coarse salt and washing his face quickly.

He is not the real Chen Yuping. He has only been here for a few days and is not used to getting up at dawn.

When he came through, he was running a fever and was very weak. After two or three days of drinking medicine and recuperating, he seemed to be fine, but he looked so thin that he could fall to the ground if the wind blew. Perhaps because of this, no one in the family said anything about him getting up late and working hard.

"Dad, the cage I put in yesterday has a pretty good harvest today. There are more than a pound of small fish and shrimps, and more shrimps." Chen Yuanqiu put the small wooden bucket under the corner and went to the well behind the house: "Third Brother " Is it better today?"

"Better than yesterday."

Father Chen looked at the wooden bucket that his younger son brought back: "Is it just enough for us to have a meal?

"

"More shrimps?" Chen

Yuanqiu nodded.

"Dad, leave the shrimps for me and fry the small fish." Chen Yuping called to the kitchen.

When old man Chen entered the house, he heard his third son's voice and smiled on his face: "Brother Ping is a lot more energetic now."

"I see the same." As he spoke, old man Chen said Separate the small fish and shrimps, put the washed small fish in the pot and bake them with a little bit of residual heat from the charcoal fire in the stove.

"Third brother, what do you want to do with the shrimps?" Chen Yuanqiu took a bite of the fragrant pickled cabbage buns and asked curiously.

Chen Yuping smiled mysteriously: "Something delicious."

"Is it enough? If not, my second brother also put up a cage yesterday, and I guess he caught some shrimps too."

"I'll go over and have a look later. "

In Kuzhu Village, after a child gets married, the couple will be separated to live alone.

Father Chen and Old Man Chen have four children in total. The eldest son, Chen Yuchun, is an elder brother. He is married to Zhang Zhiwei, a man from the Zhang family in the village. He lives in the south of the village, next to the Zhang family. The second son, Chen Yuandong, is a man and married to a girl from a neighboring village. The new house is not far from the old house, just a few steps away.

The third son, Chen Yuping, is also a brother. He is about to turn nineteen, but no one has come to ask for advice. The reason is that the mole on the forehead of the third son is too shallow. If he is not blessed with great luck, he may not be able to survive. It is difficult to have children.

The youngest son, Chen Yuanqiu, is about seventeen years old. He is a tall and strong young man. At the end of last year, people came to inquire about him. Regardless of whether it was from his own village or a neighboring village, many boys and girls liked him, and he himself was very fond of him. Don't be in a hurry to get married.

The world is weird.

There are boys and girls, and there is also a brother who can give birth to children. The brother is male and has a pregnancy mole between his eyebrows.

A man and a brother can get married and live together, a man and a girl can get married and live together, a brother and a girl can get married and live together, and a brother and his brother can also get married and live together. Men and men, girls and girls are rare.

Guys with light pregnancy moles will be stronger, look a bit like men, and can support a family. It will not be difficult for such guys to get married. After getting married to a girl or a brother with a deep pregnancy mole, he can also have children. Although the brother is a brother, when he is unable to conceive, the male fertility will generally be stronger, not as good as that of a real man, but not much different.

Chen Yuping's situation is somewhat special. He has a shallow pregnancy mole and a thin frame. His male fertility is low, almost as much as the pregnancy mole between his eyebrows.

Although he is pretty good-looking and has fine features, he has never seen anyone come to inquire about him since he became an adult, let alone talk about conspiracy.

As for the original owner's depression and pain, Chen Yuping, who had come through the experience, felt that it was nothing to worry about.

As a modern social animal, there is a lot of pressure to survive. As a person who is almost thirty years old, he has never thought about getting married, and he can live a carefree life alone.

It's great to have time to think about eating and drinking, so why bother supercharging yourself in vain.

Chen Yuping helped his father clean up the chores at home, and the father and son went to Chen Yuandong's house next door.

Liu Guixiang took her children to do needlework under the eaves. When she saw her father and third brother coming over, she stood up with a smile and greeted them.

"This child sleeps so soundly." Father Chen glanced at his eldest granddaughter, then rolled up his sleeves and quickly cleaned up the chores at home for his second daughter-in-law.

Liu Guixiang helped her father, while Chen Yuping sat under the eaves and looked at his sleeping eldest niece.

"You go and have a rest, there isn't much work to do."

"I also wanted to take advantage of the girl to fall asleep and clean her up. It's rare for her to be asleep at this time."

Father Chen said with a gentle look on his face: "You concentrate on taking care of her . Just be a good boy. I can take care of things at home in a few moments. When you have time, you can take a rest.

"I feel uncomfortable if I have time to rest."

The house is tidy and tidy. Father Chen went into the kitchen and picked up half a bowl of shrimps: "I'll take these shrimps. Later, Brother Ping made some food, so I asked him to bring some over."

"Brother Ping likes to eat them. If there are any more shrimps, I'll take them. " Just ask the child's father to take him to the old house. "That's not necessary. I have to come here several times a day." As he spoke, Father Chen asked his third

son, "Do you want to take Qiao Niu'er to play or go back?"

Yue's little baby had white, chubby eyes and big, round eyes. Chen Yuping was quite rare. When he saw her waking up, he held her in his arms and played with her. He kept talking to her and looked at his uncle and nephew. As if he had something to talk about.

"I will go back with my father." Chen Yuping put down Qiao Niu'er and said, "Second sister-in-law, after the shrimp paste is ready, I will bring some over and play with Qiao Niu'er."

Liu Guixiang responded with a smile.

Fresh river shrimp is used to make shrimp paste, which is particularly delicious and fragrant.

Even though there were not many shrimps, Chen Yuping started to make a fire with great interest. Father Chen didn't care about him. He had his own things to do, so he let his third son take care of it.

After the shrimp paste is ready, a rich aroma fills the kitchen room.

Father Chen, who came back from the vegetable garden, was confused by the delicious smell: "What is this? It smells weird."

"Shrimp paste." Chen Yuping responded with a smile: "Dad, I'll have lunch today. Zhang Luo, how about calling the second brother and the others to come over for lunch? "

"Okay, you can prepare lunch and I'll go take a look in the fields and say something to Qiao Niu'erniang."

As soon as Mr. Chen left, Chen Yuping took the money and went to the east of the village. I came back with two pieces of tofu.

The lunch menu is simple, including stewed tofu with shrimp paste, stir-fried beans with shrimp paste, mushroom and vegetable soup, and pan-fried fish. In addition to the small fish in his own cage, Liu Guixiang also brought a small bowl of the family's fish when he came over.

When the Chen family came back from the fields, they could smell the fresh fragrance from a distance.

"Third brother, what delicious food did you cook?" Chen Yuanqiu ran home excitedly: "Third brother, what delicious food did you cook? You can smell the fragrance from afar."

"Boil some shrimp paste and bake it Put a little inside when cooking, it will be fragrant and fresh," Chen Yuping replied while setting out the bowls and chopsticks.

Chapter 2

Chen Yuping knew very well how delicious the shrimp paste he made was, so he specially cooked more rice.

Fortunately, I cooked a lot, and all the rice and vegetables were eaten. Even though the dishes were small, the portions were quite sufficient.

His stomach was very full, but Chen Yuanqiu still had more to say: "Third brother, is there any more shrimp paste? I'll bring back the small fish in the cage tomorrow for some shrimps. The shrimp paste is so delicious!"

"One more thing, tomorrow morning Eat it with steamed buns."

"No more tonight?"

Seeing the disappointment on his younger brother's face, Chen Yuping smiled: "You can fry some eggs."

Old man Chen held a bowl of strong tea with a satisfied look on his face: "Eat this dish cooked with shrimp paste. Beautiful."

"I've eaten in restaurants in town a few times, and the dishes cooked are far less delicious than Brother Ping's. The addition of shrimp sauce really makes a difference."

Liu Guixiang continued: "That's right. Brother Ping is very good at cooking."

Chen Yuping also prepared dinner. He fried a plate of eggs with shrimp paste. The remaining two dishes did not include shrimp paste, so he had to save some to eat with steamed buns tomorrow morning.

Of course, he didn't forget his second brother's house about fried eggs with shrimp paste, so he sent half a bowl over. Liu Guixiang returned with a bowl of braised melon.

The melons in the vegetable field are fresh and tender, not suitable for stewing. This is the melon picked last year. It is very pink and sweet, and it is especially delicious when stewed.

Chen Yuping picked tender melons and stir-fried them. He also brought a bowl of braised melons, a vegetable soup and a scrambled egg with shrimp paste from his second brother's house.

The rice and vegetables were cleared again.

Father Chen smiled and said, "Brother Ping has to take charge of the dishes."

"Dad, I'm already very agile. Leave the cooking to me in the future. I can handle the trivial chores at home."

Chen Yuping He was not worried about revealing his secret at all. The original owner was also good at cooking. Since he was not very healthy and did not work in the fields much, he only took care of the trivial matters at home. When Mr. Chen had free time, he would go to the fields to help.

Thinking about the delicious shrimp paste, Chen Yuanqiu's mouth was filled with saliva. The next morning, when he followed his father to work in the fields, he first went to the river to take a look at the cage.

I am not very lucky today, there are not many small fish and shrimps.

"It's over, it's not enough to fill the gap between teeth."

Old man Chen glared at his younger son: "I'll give you a hand. You can get the cage when you come back. There will be more than this."

"I'm thinking about the shrimp paste!" There was nothing to gain from the cage. Chen Yuanqiu did not give up and wanted to take a look at the cage at his second brother's house.

Old man Chen saw through his youngest son's thoughts at a glance: "Hurry up and work in the fields."

"If you want to eat shrimp paste, be diligent and take a cage to the mountains."

"My father's mind is really fast." Chen Yuanqiu smiled excitedly. : "There are few cages in the mountains, so you can definitely catch a lot of shrimps. Father, I will go to the mountains as soon as I have breakfast and bring back bundles of firewood."

"Bring the cages from your second brother's house with you too."

Shrimp paste with steamed buns.

Chen Yuanqiu has never liked eating steamed buns. He thinks it is better to eat steamed buns. The steamed buns are dry and tasteless.

Today was different. He had never felt that steamed buns were so delicious! It's so delicious, ma'am!

"It's so fragrant. It's delicious to eat." Chen Yuanqiu asked eagerly: "Third brother, is our shrimp paste really gone?"

"No." Chen Yuping pointed to the white shrimp paste bowl that didn't need to be washed at all: "You will eat up the last bit."

"My second brother and I will go to the mountains to put cages in a while. We should be able to harvest a lot of shrimps tomorrow."

"You want to go to the mountains? I'll go with you."

Old man Chen was not at ease: "It's a bit far."

"It's okay. My second brother and fourth brother are here, so walk slowly."

"Go ahead and walk around." Old man Chen had no objection.

The three brothers went to the mountains to put the cages, and they went back and forth for an hour.

After returning to the village, brothers Chen Yuandong and Chen Yuanqiu went directly to the fields. After such a delay, they still had a lot of farm work to do in the morning.

Chen Yuping was indeed a little tired. He was the only one walking, so he just swayed for a walk.

It's been almost ten days since I came to this world, and I still haven't had a good tour of this village.

Passing by a pork stall, at this point, there was no good meat on the stall, only scraps.

The pork stall belongs to the third uncle of my family.

Chen Yuping smiled and called for someone to buy two pig trotters and two bones. The meat on the bones was very clean and he didn't ask for any money.

I don't have any spices at home, but I have some Sichuan peppercorns, onions, ginger and garlic, and I can barely make a sauced pig's trotters.

Chen Yuping went to his second brother's house and asked if there was any star anise, cinnamon or something.

"There's still some star anise left."

"Second sister-in-law, I'll send you some pickled pig's trotters at noon."

This dish takes time.

Chen Yuping glanced at the sun, took the eight anise and went home, rolled up his sleeves and started to spread out.

Sauced pig's trotters is a dish with a strong taste. It needs to be spicy and numbing to make it interesting and enjoyable to eat.

The chili peppers at this time are not particularly spicy, and the dried chili peppers are naturally not as good as modern dried chili peppers. Fortunately, there are still Sichuan peppercorns to add flavor.

Compared with yesterday's dish cooked with shrimp paste, today's sauced pork trotters has a more overpowering aroma.

Many people passed by the door of Chen's house and smelled the strong fragrance. They were in a trance for a moment, and they were all fascinated.

What kind of food does Brother Ping cook? Why is it so fragrant! It smelled like meat. I had never smelled such a fragrant meat dish. I couldn't help but salivate. When I walked far away, I looked back again and again. I looked back three times every step, thinking deeply about it.

What kind of dish is this? It's so fragrant, so fragrant.

"Third Brother!!!" Chen Yuanqiu rushed into the kitchen room like a gust of wind, his eyes sweeping around the room: "Third Brother, Third Brother, what kind of food are you cooking?

" Chen Yuping: "Stay in the cabinet."

In addition to the sauced pig's trotters, there is also the fish and shrimp caged this morning, which is not much. I cut some sour pickles and made a spicy and sour fish and shrimp soup. It is delicious and appetizing, and stir-fried potatoes. Strips, stir-fried vegetables.

Chen Yuanqiu held a bowl of soy sauce pig's trotters, and the rich aroma went straight to his nose.

"This kid is stupid." Father Chen was really worried that he would drool in the bowl, so he quickly took the bowl away and put it on the dining table.

Old man Chen took a look and said, "Is this pig's trotters?" The color is so beautiful, plump and oily, and the smell is so fragrant that just looking at it makes me want to eat it.

"Yes, the third uncle gave me two bones to stew mung bean soup in the evening." Chen Yuping said to his younger brother who rushed to the table: "One for each person, too many."

Cut the two pig trotters into six large pieces and add them to the second My brother's family gave me two pieces, but there were only four pieces left in the bowl.

Chen Yuanqiu carefully took a bite. It was numb and spicy, and after two chews it was soft, glutinous and fragrant: "It's so delicious! I can't bear to finish it. Third brother, why don't you make more? I'll buy four pigs tomorrow." Come back."

"There are only two left at the stall."

"I'll go early tomorrow."

"This dish costs firewood." Chen Yuping teased him.

Chen Yuanqiu immediately answered: "After buying pig trotters tomorrow, I am going to the mountains to get a cage. I will find more firewood and come back."

"These pig trotters are more edible than meat." Old man Chen couldn't hold back and took out the trotters hidden at home. Just take small sips of the wine. "It's so beautiful! It's such a comfortable day." He poured a glass for Mr. Chen: "You should drink some too, we haven't had a drink for a long time. Brother Ping's skills are getting better and better."

"Father, I want it too . "Go away! "

Old man Chen couldn't bear it. This wine is not cheap: "If you want to eat it, buy it yourself."

Chen Yuanqiu: "Dad..."

Old man Chen smiled cheerfully, eating the pig's trotters and sipping the wine. , just don't speak.

Chapter 3

Chen Yuanqiu woke up after the rooster crowed three times, and the sky outside the window was bright.

"Dad, I'm going to look at cages in the mountains." He didn't even bother to rinse his mouth and face.

Old man Chen hurriedly chased after him: "Call your second brother."

"I understand."

"This kid has become impatient because of his stutter."

Old man Chen continued slowly: "It turns out he is lazy."

" "Don't say that." Father Chen disagreed: "Compared with those in the village, the children in our family are pretty good."

Old man Chen snorted and said nothing, but his eyes were gentle and smiled. meaning.

"I see that Brother Ping's skills are getting better and better. He is not much worse than the cooks in restaurants in the town. The market day is approaching on the 17th. Should I ask Brother Ping to go to the market with shrimp paste and sauced pig's trotters? "Making money is the second priority, so that the neighbors in the village know that our Brother Ping still has merits. What if we meet someone who likes to eat?" Father Chen said softly, for fear of disturbing his third son if he spoke too loudly. After listening to it, I finally felt a little more cheerful.

"I think it will work." Old Chen thought for a while: "Tell me, brother Heping, if you can really find someone reliable, it doesn't matter if you can't have children. We have many children in our family, and we can adopt any of our nieces and nephews as we please. The children are all good, and thinking about my brothers, this matter will not be a problem."

Chen Yuanqiu went out happily. When he came back, the corners of his mouth almost reached the base of his ears. He was so happy that he jumped three feet high, and he looked like a child. .

"Father, look, there are so many small fish and shrimps. Few people put cages in the mountains. If you put a few cages in randomly, you will get a lot."

Old Chen stood up and took a look: "Oh "It must be several kilograms. Let me sort out the small fish and shrimps first."

"It's almost the same, it must be five or six kilograms. We put nine cages. My second brother and I changed the ground again and went deeper. Let's go, the harvest should be good tomorrow."

The younger son was so happy that Father Chen couldn't bear to tell him: "We can't eat more of this shrimp paste, we have to save it for the market."

"It's time to make money . ?" Chen Yuanqiu was dumbfounded: "Well, then, leave a small amount?" He also knew that the third brother was sick and the family had not saved much money, and now there is probably not much left.

"We'll see when the time comes. If there's more, eat more."

Old Man Chen said, "Aren't you going to buy pig's trotters? It's too late, and I don't have four pig's trotters for you."

"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot. "

Wait." Father Chen quickly took the money and said, "Take the money and buy another half a pound of pork belly. I haven't eaten meat for a while."

Not long after Chen Yuanqiu left, Chen Yuandong came over with two pounds in his hand. A pig's trotter and a strip of pork belly must be more than a pound.

"What are you doing?"

"Guixiang said the pig trotters made by Brother Ping are delicious."

Father Chen didn't believe this: "Take the pork belly back."

"I took it back, Guixiang should scold me again." Chen Yuandong smiled and went into the kitchen to put down the meat and pig's trotters.

"Tell your wife to come over for dinner at noon." Father Chen couldn't help his second son, and smiled: "The youngest just hurried to your third uncle's house, thinking about buying four pig's trotters in one go. It's time to cry, but I went crazy with joy when I entered the kitchen. "

I heard him talk about this when I went to the mountains, and I didn't tell him on purpose."

This was also a naughty smile on the corner of Chen's mouth . I can't even take it in. The relationship between the brothers is good, and the parents are happy to see it.

When Chen Yuping got up, only his father was at home.

The stove was full of things, including four pig's trotters, two pieces of pork belly, a small pot of small fish, a small pot of shrimps, and a large tube bone.

"These were all caged yesterday?"

"Yes, the five cages at home and the four cages at your second brother's home are all here."

"There are so many small fish and shrimps in the mountains." Chen Yuping's eyes lit up. Pure natural green aquatic products, delicious and delicious!

Taking advantage of the fact that nothing was going on at this moment, and only the father and son were at home, Father Chen said gently: "Brother Ping, it will be the market day on the 17th soon. The shrimp paste and sauced pig's trotters you made are delicious, I think "How about we sell them on the 17th day?" "

Okay." Chen Yuping responded casually: "We just don't have enough pig trotters. We may have to go to the town to buy some more."

I'm going to town. I'll use this shrimp paste for the market first. If I want to eat it later, we'll make it later." Father Chen didn't expect his third son to respond so neatly, and he felt relieved.

If Yuan Qiu knew this, he would probably cry. Chen Yuping thought about it and smiled rudely: "Dad, that's not necessary. If we want to eat it, we should eat it ourselves. I think this shrimp paste won't be used much for the market." They are sold in jars, and the portion is too big. It's not very much, so I won't be able to sell a few cans. It's more reliable to sell it on steamed buns. You can try the shrimp paste steamed buns. The price is not expensive, so I think it will be easier to sell.

He talked about his thoughts, and Father Chen thought it made sense.

Almost two kilograms of pork belly, the portion of braised pork is a bit small, and one person can't eat more than a few bites. Chen Yuping thought about half the stir-fried twice-cooked pork and half steamed prunes, which is fragrant and goes well with rice.

It's early today, so I have plenty of time, so I stewed the pork ribs early. When the stew is almost done, add two radishes and stir-fry the green vegetables. It will be done by noon.

Four pig's trotters, three and a half pig's trotters in sauce, and the remaining half of soybean stewed pig's trotters.

It is said that after eating this, you will get more milk. Chen Yuping doesn't know whether it is true or not. He has only heard from many people that the second sister-in-law is breastfeeding the child, and it is good to stew it for a while.

The dinner arrangements were clearly arranged. The three members of Chen Yuandong's family never thought about having lunch and dinner. However, the third brother said that he had specially stewed pig's trotters, so they stayed and had another dinner.

On the way back, Liu Guixiang said to her husband: "My third brother's craftsmanship is really getting better and better. My third brother is good-looking and has a good temperament..." As he spoke, he lost his voice and thought in his heart. What a pity. "I saw that after my third brother got sick, he seemed to have figured it out a little bit and became a lot more cheerful."

"My third brother was originally a lively and cheerful person, but after he became an adult... he gradually became less talkative. "

He is doing well as he is now. Marriage is about fate, and our third brother is not bad. I will look around carefully when I look back. Dad said that on the seventeenth day, I will go to the market with my third brother to sell shrimp paste." " The third brother is good at cooking pork trotters. Maybe there will be good news."

"How considerate of you as the second sister-in-law."

Chen Yuandong and his wife were talking about this while Old Man Chen and Father Chen were lying on the bed. I was also talking about this, even though there was no sign of it, I thought about Brother Ping's good craftsmanship and how delicious the food was. The fragrance really entered my heart, and some thoughts came to my mind. .

Something good should happen. After all, Brother Ping is also a good and reliable boy.

In a blink of an eye, it's the seventeenth market day.

Chapter 4

The market place is at Shenjiawu next door to Kuzhu Village.

Shenjiawu is a family village. Nearly half of the families in the village have the surname Shen, and many of the Shen family have educated children. The villagers can count eight talented people, among whom there is one who is the most promising and is an official in Yanjing.

As the reputation of the Shen family gradually increased, people moved to the Shen family house one after another in the past ten years. Today, Shenjiawu is the largest village in Shili and Baxiang.

On the 16th, Father Chen and Chen Yuping went to town early, not only to buy pig trotters, but also to tidy up the daily necessities that the family lacked.

Chen Yuping didn't have much money in his hand, which was worth two hundred coins. He held the money, went to several medical clinics, shopped around, and finally bought the necessary ingredients. The portion was not large, and there was nothing. No way, I'm too short of money.

After dinner, we started to prepare the sauced pig's trotters. I turned off the heat just before going to bed, and the charcoal fire in the stove was not turned out. I used the remaining heat to slowly braise the pig's trotters.

The temperature is low at night and it is very cool. Putting the pig's trotters in the pot does not affect the taste, but makes it more delicious.

The steamed buns were made by Mr. Chen who got up early. The market opened at the beginning of Chenshi. He got up early and could make the steamed buns.

Breakfast is also steamed buns, eaten with shrimp paste.

Some of the sauced pig's trotters were small, so Chen Yuping picked some out. Everyone in the family had one, and it was very delicious to eat with steamed buns.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Father Chen did not bother to clean up the trivial things at home, and went to the Shen family house with his third son carrying a basket.

One basket holds pig's trotters and shrimp paste, and the other basket holds steamed buns.

The strong aroma of the sauced pig's trotters permeated the morning breeze, attracting many villagers to come over and chat.

"What are you doing? The smell is really amazing."

"Are you going to sell steamed buns? It's hard to sell just steamed buns. What do you deserve? It's so delicious."

"Fortunately, I had breakfast and went out. Smelling the aroma, I'm getting greedy."

Father Chen is very kind. When people ask him, he happily answers without hiding it: "It's sauced pig's trotters, and the steamed buns are going to be sold with shrimp sauce. "It's made by my brother Ping. He's good at cooking and the dishes he cooks are particularly tasty."

"It turns out to be braised pig's trotters. They also buy braised pig's trotters in town, but they don't taste that strong." "How do you plan to sell these pig trotters?"

"Three cents a piece." Pig trotters are cheap. A pig trotter in the town sells for 5 cents. Brother Ping set the price at three cents each. Father Chen thought it was a bit expensive, but thinking about the taste, he felt it was worth it.

"Three cents a piece?" The person who spoke was obviously a little confused. He looked at the basket. The mouth of the basket was covered with cloth, so he couldn't see the size of the pig's trotters inside.

Chen Yuping smiled and opened the cloth.

The pig's trotters are not big, but they can't be said to be small either. They are quite big, plump, oily, bright and fragrant. I want to grab a piece with my hands, put it in my mouth and chew it. It will definitely taste very strong and refreshing. .

Seeing the villagers staring blankly and unable to react, Chen Yuping covered the cloth again. It would not look good if it was stained with dust.

The man swallowed his saliva and smiled dryly: "It's not too expensive." After saying that, he picked up the burden and walked away in a hurry, as if someone was chasing him.

If he doesn't leave, he's afraid that he won't be able to control himself. If he really spends three pennies to buy a piece to taste it, his mother-in-law won't give him a beating when he goes home. Three pennies! Think about it, life is more important.

When we arrived at Shen's house, there were already many stalls set up. The scene was a bit noisy, but it was still pretty orderly.

Father Chen led his son to Kuzhu Village, picked a fairly conspicuous place, and quickly set up the stall.

This stall is not set up casually. Each village will allocate a place, some are large or small. It depends on the size of the village and the number of people who come to set up the stall. This place is not fixed. It will take turns and no preference is given to any village. .

Because of this fairness, the folks who come to the market to set up stalls will be happy to follow the Shen family's rules.

Chen Pingyu was still a little reluctant to let go. Father Chen smiled and did not force him. He started to shout: "Pig's trotters in spicy sauce. It is delicious and goes well with wine. The steamed buns with delicious shrimp paste. I still want to eat one." Second one."

The shouting should not be too loud. One or two of them shouted at the top of their lungs, and the whole market was in chaos.

"How do you sell soy pig's trotters?" The person who asked was the patrolling Shen family member.

"Three cents each, you can have a taste." Father Chen handed over a bowl with sauced pig's trotters cut into small pieces, with a small bamboo stick inserted into each small piece.

The son of the Shen family tasted a piece: "Okay, give me two."

"Okay. Do you want two of my shrimp paste steamed buns? The taste is also very good. They cost a penny each. They are smeared with shrimp paste and are very delicious. Beautiful."

"You can have two, too."

Chen Yuping's sauced pig's trotters are so fragrant that anyone who passes by the stall can smell the rich aroma and it will hook you.

Nine out of ten people will come and ask, and when they start asking, three to five out of nine will pay for it.

Not long after, a large bowl full of sauced pig's trotters was sold out, and less than half of the shrimp paste steamed buns were left. Of course, the number of steamed buns was much more than that of sauced pig's trotters.

"It only took an hour to plan." Father Chen glanced at the sun and smiled so deeply that deep smile lines appeared at the corners of his eyes: "I was worried that we wouldn't be able to sell out. I should have bought more trotters if I had known earlier."

Chen Yuping He was also very happy: "We have experience next time we go to the market, so buy more pig's trotters for sauce."

He cut the larger pig's trotters into four pieces and the smaller pig's trotters into three pieces. After the cost, he didn't earn much. , but it can be regarded as some profit.

"We will definitely sell out before noon, so we can go back and prepare lunch."

When I came out, I thought I would not be able to go back in time to prepare lunch. I was afraid that old man Chen and his son would be hungry, so I specially left steamed buns and shrimp paste, and bone soup was simmering on the stove. Liu Guixiang was asked to take a look from time to time, and they just made up for lunch.

Never thought buying and selling would be so easy, it was much easier to sell than expected.

Soon the shrimp paste steamed buns were sold out, and the stalls next to them looked excited at such a fast speed.

"I didn't know before that Brother Ping had such a skill."

"Yes, the braised pig's trotters are so delicious. No wonder people want three of them."

"Brother Ping has this skill, so it's difficult to give birth. , don't worry about no one asking for it." This was said with a bit of malice.

The gentle old man Chen became unhappy after hearing this and stopped smiling: "At any rate, my brother Ping is good at craftsmanship and has a decent and neat personality. Unlike your brother, who is so fat that he can't even walk. He will spend the rest of his life with it." I'm worried. It's better to make more money to support your brother, so as not to have to eat in the future.

"Brother Ping, don't talk to him." On the way back, Father Chen said carefully. He comforted his third son softly. It's not easy for people to become more lively, but don't get into trouble again.

Chen Yuping didn't take this at all and said with a smile: "Dad, I eat well and make money. He is jealous of us. When he said this, I was actually happy to hear it."

"Yes, we are indeed. I should be happy, I made a lot of money today."

"It must be several hundred yuan." Chen Yuping did a rough calculation and calculated the cost: "I estimate that the net profit should be two to three hundred yuan."

"You'll know when you go back and count. Anyway, it's just in time."

Chapter 5

After arriving home and putting down their burdens, the father and son couldn't wait to pour out the copper coins from the box. The coins were piled up like a hill, and they were so heavy that they were heavy on their hands.

"There are more than 500 pieces of literature!" Chen's father was full of surprise. "You can make so much money just by setting up a stall for so long."

"If we prepare enough sauced pig's trotters, we can earn more." Listening to the sound of copper coins, Chen Yuping felt very satisfied and his eyes were filled with laughter. They all narrowed into crescent moons.

The cost of the pig's trotters is more than 500 cents, so you have to calculate the net profit in half. The shrimp paste steamed buns cost a penny each. The price seems not high, but the profit is greater than the sauced pig's trotters. They are all bought at home without spending money.

After calculating the money spent on buying the pig's trotters, and then the three aniseed ingredients of pepper, star anise, cinnamon, the remaining nearly three hundred cash is the pure profit. Firewood, oil, salt and other trivial matters were not included.

Chen's father was delighted for a moment, and then he pushed the money towards his third son: "Take this money."

"Father, what are you doing?" Chen Yuping frowned: "You don't have to give me so much." He counted one penny by penny and came up with one hundred and twenty penny: "Dad, these are mine, and you keep the rest." After a pause, he added: "The shrimps were brought back from Adi's cage. He deserves a penny." "It's okay ,"

said Father Chen, "Brother Ping has grown up and can make money. Let's prepare more pig trotters on the 27th. And steamed buns, I'm thinking about preparing half as much, what do you think?"

"My father is right, maybe I can come up with other food."

Father Chen smiled kindly and couldn't help it . , reached out and rubbed the top of his third son's hair: "Dad, I believe you."

Before he entered the house, he smelled the fragrant aroma of rice. Chen Yuanqiu rushed into the house in three steps: "Dad, third brother, you will be back soon." ! Is the business very good? Is it sold out quickly? My third brother makes food, so I know it will be sold out.

It's sold out very quickly. We came back before noon. This time we should listen to Yuan Qiu, and we can sell more if we prepare more."

Old man Chen continued: "It's good to sell out. With this experience, we will prepare more next time we go to the market. We are not trying to make a lot of money, but we are stable. "Play it safe."

"Third brother, how much money have we made?" Chen Yuanqiu was curious, his eyes bright.

"There are more than 500 Wen, and after deducting the cost, there are nearly 300 Wen."

Father Chen took out the 20 Wen that he had prepared early: "Brother Ping said that you brought the shrimps back from the cage, so you have to pay for the shrimp paste steamed buns. , you take this money, your second brother also has a share."

"There is still my money." Chen Yuanqiu was surprised, and then he reached out and took the money: "Third brother, you are really my third brother. Brother!" He smiled so hard that his teeth disappeared.

Old man Chen smoked a cigarette, glanced at the stupid Yao'er, and then at his third son who was setting the dishes and chopsticks, feeling extremely happy and happy.

Nothing happened in the afternoon. Chen Yuping and his father went to his second brother's house.

Father Chen gave the money to his second daughter-in-law, and Chen Yuping was playing with Qiao Niuer beside him. Qiao Niuer was grinning and moving her little arms and legs vigorously.

"Why did you return this money to me?" Liu Guixiang didn't want to accept it. She felt guilty: "I didn't do anything."

"One code equals another code. The bond between brothers is love. In business, it's You have to be very clear, so keep it." Seeing that his second daughter-in-law was silent, Father Chen added: "On weekdays, when it comes to such trivial things, you shouldn't be so clear about it. This matter is different. It's a business. The business of making money is different from the daily human transactions. "

Chen Yuping said from the side: "Second sister-in-law, please keep it. I will talk to my second brother. This business is not a one-time or two-time transaction. If you sell well, everyone will do it. I would set up a stall on every market day. I make money, and I feel uneasy if my second sister-in-law doesn't accept the money."

Liu Guixiang said it clearly, but she still accepted the money, and her heart felt warm.

The Chen family is a bit poor, but these people are all good, kind and conscientious.

After making some money, Chen Yuping felt a little restless.

He got up early the next morning and went to the third uncle's house to buy four kilograms of pork belly. He wanted to make authentic braised pork for his family to taste.

Father Chen looked at the meat he brought back and was a little angry: "Why are you spending so much money?"

He didn't know that his third son spent 200 yuan to buy aniseed, so Chen Yuping didn't dare to take it out, so he kept it secretly. In this room, only take a little when needed.

"What do you mean by spending money indiscriminately? Dad, we made some money yesterday, so we should celebrate and get some delicious food to make us happy." Seeing his father, Chen Yuping still frowned and said, "Dad, Just this time, I thought about tinkering with the braised pork. If it tastes good, I might be able to set up a stall. "

I bought it all, so what can I do? Father Chen had no choice but to say: "Don't do this next time. Save your money. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll buy it."

Chen Yuping responded in a loud voice.

Compared with the sauced pork trotters, this braised pork has its own delicious taste, and its aroma is also very rich, which can capture people's soul.

Yesterday, a villager bought some braised pig's trotters. As soon as he smelled the aroma of the braised pork, he couldn't control his mind. When he came back to his senses, he was already standing at the door of Chen's house and asked with a shy face: "This is this braised pig's trotters?" Are the hooves for sale? They seem to be more fragrant."

Father Chen was not in the house, and his third son was preparing lunch, so he went to the fields to help.

"It's not sauced pig's trotters, it's braised pork. Do you want it for two cents a piece?" Chen Yuping took the chopsticks and carefully picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into the bowl. "Do you want it?"

It's two cents a piece, which is really expensive. It's not small, so I probably can't eat it in one bite.

The braised pork was brought closer, and the strong aroma of meat came to the nostrils, with a burst of heat, which made people feel a little confused. Two penny a piece, how expensive! The entanglement was the entanglement, and he couldn't bear to part with it, but he dug his hand into his pocket and said, "Come on, come on, three yuan."

For three yuan and six cents, Chen Yuping gave him the bowl and asked him to remember to return it after he finished. Otherwise, I won't do his business next time.

We live in the same village. You can't see each other when you look up and look down. It's very familiar.

This man spent six cents to buy three pieces of braised pork and walked half the village with the bowl in hand before returning home.

Along the way, many villagers looked at him and kept asking questions. They stared at the braised pork and were reluctant to blink.

This meat costs two cents a piece, expensive, too expensive.

Many people can't afford it, no matter how greedy they are, and they have no money in their pockets, they have no choice but to inhale the fragrance desperately, as if taking a few more puffs is a profit.

There are also a few whose families are relatively wealthy and have some spare money.

I was really greedy and wanted to eat, so I hurried to Chen's house.

One, two or three, come to buy with money, two cents for one piece, how much money you can make, you are a fool if you don't make money if you have money, Chen Yuping sold it! I only left six pieces in the cabinet to give my family a taste, but the rest were all sold out. I still have some to buy later, but I arrived late and didn't buy them, so I made a reservation for tomorrow.

When Old Man Chen and the other three came home and heard about this, they were as dumbfounded as if they could pick up money if they dropped it from the sky. They couldn't believe it! But the money is real money, and the sound is bright.

Someone actually buys the braised pork that costs 2 cents a piece. Pork belly only costs 12 cents a pound! I have lived in the village for so long, decades, and I didn't know there were such generous people in the village. Only Chen Yuanqiu, who has tasted it, can understand the hearts of foodies, it's delicious! So delicious! He is willing to buy it even for two cents. Compared with the delicious food, money is nothing. But he didn't dare to say it because he was afraid of being beaten. Fortunately, the third brother was his own third brother, so he could eat delicious braised pork without spending money.

At this moment, he felt a kind of happiness that he had never experienced before. He was the happiest brother in the entire Kuzhu Village, bar none.

Chapter 6

Liu Guixiang finished eating a piece of braised pork and couldn't believe it: "Is this braised pork?" Her eyes widened. Is real braised pork so delicious? Fortunately, she firmly believed in Brother Ping's good craftsmanship. Even if it was braised pork, looking at the layers of fat, she dared to put down her chopsticks and take a bite. Once she tasted it, she couldn't stop talking. It was delicious! So delicious! It's not greasy at all, it's so fragrant that I don't know how to describe it, even my tongue wants to swallow it.

The braised pork she had eaten at the table before was probably not all fake.

"Brother Ping's skills are enough to work as a cook in a restaurant in the town." Chen Yuandong put down his chopsticks and talked cheerfully, with a look of relief and happiness on his face.

Liu Guixiang once had a wedding banquet in a restaurant in the town. She looked disgusted: "As for their craftsmanship, they can't compare to Brother Ping. Even if Brother Ping goes to the county seat, he is one of the best. I have never eaten in the county seat." My father-in-law ate the noodles once, and he talked about it for a long time when he came back. If he could try Brother Ping's braised pig's trotters, he would be unable to move his feet

. With a plate of food and drinks, Chen Yuandong knew it very well and said with a smile: "On your birthday, my father and mother will come over. Then we will ask Brother Ping to help prepare the food, and the whole family will have a lively meal." Come back."

Liu Guixiang glanced at her husband shyly, with two pale blushes on her fair cheeks. Although she didn't say anything, she felt happy in her heart.

She knew that she had not married the wrong person.

Pork belly costs two cents a piece, which sounds very expensive. In fact, the profit is about the same as that of pig's trotters. After all, pork belly is more expensive, costing twelve cents a pound. In addition to the required ingredients, spices, etc., the size of Chen Pingyu's pork belly does not count. Small, so and so, the profit is divided half and half.

Four kilograms of pork belly cost less than 100 yuan, and the profit earned after the cost was less than 40 yuan. For a farmer, the situation in one morning was pretty good.

Chen Pingyu feels very satisfied. She can make money at home, and her family can also take advantage of the opportunity.

Father Chen no longer felt sorry for his third son's generosity in buying four kilograms of pork belly in one go. Seeing a lot of copper coins, he felt that the pork belly was worth it!

"From now on, if you want to do some cooking, you can buy whatever you want. If you don't have enough money, tell me." You can't limit your third son's craftsmanship. Whether he can get married in this life will probably depend on whether his craftsmanship can attract someone. A person who can live a good life.

Chen Yuanqiu screamed from the side: "Third brother, I also have some money. I also saved some money for my private house. If you need it, just take it."

"Shut up." Father Chen had a headache: "Young man, you have already Seventeen years old is not too young. Don't be idle all day long. If you can't save the money, give it to me and I will keep it for you and give it to you after you get married

. Just building a new house alone will cost a lot of money. The parents on both sides will give some money, and the rest will depend on how much the children save in daily life.

"Dad, I have money in my hands, the youngest." Chen Yuping likes the atmosphere of this family. It is very warm and warms his heart: "I just spent my money, and I can earn it back with profits in a blink of an eye. Now I am doing business It's not big, I just run a small business at home, I don't have to worry about money at all."

Dad Chen nodded: "You just have to know."

With yesterday's experience, Chen Yuping boldly bought ten pounds of pork belly. The uncle gave me two tube bones and asked if I wanted pig's trotters.

There are three more pig trotters.

"Give it to me together." Chen Yuping thought, stewed some soybean soup, called his second brother and the others to come over and drink it, and made the rest into braised pig's trotters. Compared with soy sauce pig's trotters, braised pig's trotters taste more fragrant, thicker and more delicious.

"Three pig's trotters are worth ten cents to you." The third uncle smiled cheerfully: "They all say that the braised pork and sauced pig's trotters you make are delicious. I've heard it a lot, and I'm really a little greedy."

"At noon . At that time, I will bring some to the third uncle to try. I won't make sauced pig trotters this time. It's too spicy and spicy for the third uncle to eat. I'll change the taste and make it braised."

What the third uncle said was heard. In my heart, I felt extremely comfortable.

There were still some aniseed ingredients bought in the town before, so Chen Yuping picked them up one by one. Portion is the key. More is not always better. On the contrary, if the aniseed ingredients are too thick, the dish will lose its real taste. .

In other words, the same ingredients and the same seasonings will have different flavors after cooking, some are delicious, some are not, and some are just ordinary.

This thing also requires talent.

Chen Yuping felt that he was quite talented when it came to eating.

Yesterday, several people came late and didn't buy braised pork. Those who didn't have money immediately paid for it and agreed to pick it up at noon today.

Before noon, some people could not help but throw away their hoes and come to Chen's house from the fields.

"Brother Ping, are the braised pork ready? I have wine in my arms, and I haven't been able to calm down to work all morning."

"The heat is very strong, it's just right to eat now. If you want to eat it with wine, I will braise it. " The pig's trotters are also very tasty, but there isn't much, so I have to keep some for myself."

"How many pieces can you sell? You can sell them to me. Fortunately, I brought the money."

There is a small bowl of braised pork and a bowl of braised pork. There are three or four pieces of pig's trotters, and they are almost sticking out. After

throwing away more than ten pennies, the man didn't feel sorry at all. He smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes and said, "Brother Ping, I'm leaving. I'll return the bowl in the afternoon." "

Okay."

After leaving for a while, two more people came. They are a pair of brothers, rare twins in the village, who look alike.

"Brother Ping, let's get the braised pork." He also paid for three pieces of braised pork yesterday.

Chen Yuping took the bowl and packed it properly and handed it to them.

Several more came one after another, and all the ten kilograms of braised pork were quickly sold except for what was reserved for the family.

Chen Yuping closed the door and went to the third uncle's house with the bowl in hand.

A piece of braised pig's trotters and a piece of braised pork. Don't call him stingy, he can only keep so much.

Seeing him, the third uncle was very happy and pulled him to talk.

Chen Yuping sat for a while before getting up and leaving.

After arriving home, I found that there were quite a few people at the door of my house. Four or five people were standing under the eaves talking. When they saw him coming over, they all asked if there was any more braised pork.

"I'm late, they're all sold out."

"Brother Ping, cook more. Your braised pork is delicious and has a strong flavor. I'm not afraid you won't be able to sell it." Two pennies a piece sounded expensive, but I didn't know it until I tasted it. I know it's not expensive at all, but pork belly costs twelve cents a pound. If I buy it and make it myself, I can't make it as delicious as I want. If I eat it, I haven't eaten it. It's a waste! It is better to spend two pennies to buy it from Brother Ping, eat it slowly, and you can eat several mouthfuls, and you will be satisfied! value!

"Yes, that makes sense. Brother Ping, you should cook more tomorrow."

"It's not even lunch time, so there won't be any more."

Everyone was talking, asking him to do more. Chen Yuping He responded with a smile and promised to do more tomorrow. After doing more, he sent the person away.

Chewing on the braised pig's trotters and eating the braised pork, Chen Yuanqiu felt extremely proud: "Third brother, you don't know, on the way back, I heard many people talking about the braised pork you made, especially those who didn't buy it. You 're so greedy, you're so happy."

"Take it easy and don't talk outside." Chen Yuping reminded him.

"I know, I know, I can't make people angry." He smiled like a little kitten that had stolen something fishy.

Old man Chen said to Father Chen: "In the evening, I have to go to Shen's house to get some wine." The third son's braised pig's trotters are more delicious when chewed than sauced pig's trotters. He is greedy for wine, but it's a pity. The wine at home is finished.

"Father, I still have wine at home." Chen Yuandong put down his chopsticks and stood up and walked out.

Chen Yuanqiu watched his second brother pour the wine: "I want it too."

"Children, let's go and drink whatever we want." Old Chen refused without hesitation.

"Father, this wine belongs to my second brother." Chen Yuanqiu said, looking at his second brother eagerly.

Father Chen thought that this kid was pitiful and said, "Give him some."

"Brother Ping, where are you?" Chen Yuandong asked.

"I'll have some too."

The alcohol content is not high, and no one is greedy for drinking. After all, this thing is not cheap, just take a few sips to satisfy your craving.

Chapter 7

Chen Yuping cooks delicious food! tasty! Delicious! But it also takes time and firewood.

There was nothing much going on in the afternoon. The rest of the family were busy working in the fields. He was not idle either. He went into the mountains to collect firewood. When he saw edible mushrooms, fungus, wild vegetables, etc., he picked some and put them in the basket.

He went for a run into the mountains every afternoon, which may have increased his physical activity. He had been eating well recently, and his thin body was noticeably stronger. He himself also felt energetic and much stronger.

Liu Guixiang knew that her third brother was usually not at home in the afternoon, so in the evening, she figured it was time for him to come back, so she picked up Qiao Niuer and took the chicken to the old house.

"Second sister-in-law." Chen Yuping had just put down the firewood, still holding the basket in his hand.

"My mother-in-law asked someone to send a chicken over. Brother Ping is better at cooking than me. It would be a waste for me to raise the chicken."

The chicken was killed, clean and plump.

Chen Yuping held it in his hand and weighed it: "This old hen looks like it weighs five or six kilograms. It will be stewed early tomorrow morning. Let's have chicken soup at noon."

"What should we put in it? If we don't have it at home, let us have it. " "My father went to town to buy it."

"Just pick up what I have at home. There is no need to go to town."

Chen Yuping wanted to make dinner simple, but he was a little tired today.

I happen to have a lot of fresh fish at home, and I plan to make fish pot stickers. I don't even have to cook the rice, so I can make a meal with just one dish.

"Third brother, these small fish pot stickers are so fresh, the fish is fragrant and the meat is tender, and the soup is delicious." Chen Yuanqiu dipped the pancake in the soup and bit it in his mouth. It was crispy and fresh: "It's delicious, I feel it." I can eat ten pancakes by myself."

Old man Chen said with a smile: "It's much more delicious than what I cook."

"Brother Ping can cook delicious food no matter how he cooks it."

"Fortunately, I'm not married. If I were, I wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food every day." Chen Yuan Qiuguang thought, and his heart ached.

If they don't get married, the third brother doesn't get married, and he doesn't get married either.

Old man Chen scolded him: "That's all."

"I like eating so much. If I want to find a partner in the future, I'll find someone with good craftsmanship." In Chen Yuping's view, it is indeed too early to get married at the age of seventeen, when he is still under adulthood.

But in this world, sixteen is considered an adult, and one can get married and have children.

"I have never met anyone with better skills than Third Brother. I think I will never meet anyone in my life. Third Brother, you don't know how delicious the food you cook is."

Listening to the chat between the two brothers, Old Man Chen and Father Chen had a deep smile in his eyes, but he was thinking in his heart. Brother Ping is good at cooking, so he might be able to meet someone who likes to eat. Look at his youngest, he might be able to spend his whole life working for someone who stutters.

He is a complete fool, but he is also a fool. He is honest and loyal and can love others. The third son has a good craft, so the two of them have no worries about food and clothing.

The third uncle kills a pig a day and sends half of it to the Shen family house. His brother is married to a branch of the Shen family and sells some pork at home to take care of the household chores.

One pig a day, but if it goes too late, you can't buy good meat, only the scraps are left.

Not only people from this village, but also people from neighboring villages will come to buy.

Chen Yuping knew that he got up late, so when he sent the braised pork trotters and braised pork to the third uncle, he specifically said that he would like twenty kilograms of good quality pork belly tomorrow, as well as four pig trotters, and paid the full amount immediately.

When he passed by this time, there was indeed only the corner left on the stall.

When the third uncle saw him, he went into the house and took out the pork belly and pig's trotters, as well as two tube bones.

"Third uncle, how do you buy this pig skin?" Chen Yuping had never seen it before, but now that he was looking at it, he thought of making soup dumplings. He likes to eat them, but it takes a little effort. He is willing to spend this money for the rare delicious food. effort.

"That's all we have left. You can take it if you want. It doesn't cost a lot of money."

Chen Yuping said, "Okay, I'll make something delicious later and give it to the third uncle to try."

"It's me who has the best relationship. " Take advantage. "

I don't have time in the morning. I go to the mountains every day recently. I have enough firewood at home. Chen Pingyu plans to come and make soup dumplings in the afternoon and eat them for dinner.

Save one kilogram of the twenty kilograms of pork belly, and make the rest into braised pork. Four pig trotters are also marinated, using the marinade from yesterday. The marinade does not need to be changed every day. The old marinade is more expensive than the new marinade. Much more fragrant.

There was chicken soup for lunch, a fat old hen stewed a pot full of soup.

Stir-fried loofah, braised laowo melon, shrimp paste tofu, and stir-fried green vegetables are enough for six people.

Recently, I only put the cage back in the mountains every two or three days. The harvest is far less than before, and it is better than leaving it in the river.

Chen Yuping didn't plan to make sauce for the shrimps he had collected today. Recently, he had saved enough sauce at home, and he was going to pack them out and put them into soup dumplings.

"Brother Ping, did you marinate the pig's trotters today?"

Before the person arrived, the voice had already floated over.

Chen Yuping came out of the kitchen: "It's braised."

"How much is it? Can it be cheaper if I cover it all? I'll take it to my father-in-law's house, and he will have a good drink. The pig's trotters you braised are the best for wine."

"There are four pig's trotters, you want them all?"

"Yes, my brother-in-law and brother-in-law are just like my father-in-law."

"You can give me forty-five cents."

The man gave the money happily and held it. Go home happily with a big bowl of braised pig's trotters. It was my father-in-law's birthday, and he was 100% sure that he would like it this year.

The braised pork has been sold out before noon. These days, the folks who come to buy have figured out the time and will come a little early to watch. If it is slow, they really can't buy it.

Chen Yuping found that not only people from his own village were buying, but also people from neighboring villages nearby.

Twenty pounds is not much, and he has not planned to increase the portion size recently, so he has to engage in hunger marketing.

The family has saved some shrimp paste, and the shrimp paste steamed buns can be put out for sale, so that Dad and the others can share some money.

During the meal, Chen Yuping discussed this idea.

Old man Chen had no objection: "I'll make some steamed buns when I get up in the morning. This is easy."

"Don't make too many." Old man Chen thought for a while: "How about making fifty first? If we can't sell them all, we can eat them ourselves."

"Listen to my father."

Chen Yuanqiu said: "I think it's okay to make a hundred. The steamed buns with shrimp paste are also delicious."

"This is breakfast. Who knows how to make steamed buns, that is, shrimp paste? Make more I'm afraid it won't be easy to buy. This is no better than meat." Chen Yuandong thought that what his father said was fifty.

That's it, let's do fifty to see the market.

Chen Yuanqiu thinks the shrimp paste steamed buns are delicious, even more delicious than the meat buns made by his father.

When he ate the soup dumplings made by his third brother for dinner, he was stunned!

"What kind of fairy buns are these?"

They are really delicious!

The delicious food Chen Yuping cooked before was very delicious to everyone in his family, and they were able to find the time to describe how delicious it was.

But with this soup dumpling, I had no intention of talking at all. All that was left in my mind was its delicious taste, which also burned my mouth. I couldn't be distracted and couldn't talk. If I didn't pay attention, my tongue would be burned.

The whole family was engrossed in eating the soup dumplings. Chen Yuping glanced at it, his eyebrows creasing with a smile, and he felt a great sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.

Chapter 8

Selling shrimp paste steamed buns is different from selling braised pork trotters. The reputation of shrimp paste steamed buns has not spread, and no one has come to buy them specifically.

Therefore, Chen Yuping and Father Chen discussed and decided to set up a stall under the old tree in front of the house and put out shrimp paste steamed buns without shouting. The villagers passing by noticed it and came over to take a look if they were curious. Maybe someone will pay for it. Around noon, there will be a wave of people coming to buy braised pork and braised pork trotters, and by then I should be able to buy some steamed buns with shrimp paste.

There are only fifty in total. If we can't sell them, we will not cook at noon and evening, but cook two dishes and eat them with steamed buns.

It seems something is not right. I will do less tomorrow and take my time.

After Chen made the steamed buns, he forgot about the stove and turned around to do other trivial matters.

After breakfast, he went to his second son's house and helped clean up. After finishing, he took the hoe and went to work in the fields.

With her father taking care of her inside and outside the house, Liu Guixiang had nothing to do except take care of the baby. She came to the old house with Qiao Niuer in her arms.

"Brother Ping, let me help you guard the stall outside."

Chen Yuping was laying out braised pork and braised pig's trotters in the kitchen. Listening to the voices, he stood at the door and looked out: "Second sister-in-law, help take care of it." "It couldn't be better. Can Qiao Niu'er sit still?

" When I fall asleep, I just put it in. "

It's easy to make a nest in the basket with a small straw quilt in the countryside. It's just right for a few-month-old baby to sleep in.

Not many people visited the stall, so Liu Guixiang did needlework in her spare time.

Qiao Niu'er didn't sleep, so she put her in the basket and teased her while doing needlework.

Qiao Niu'er is very well-behaved. When she rarely cries, she laughs when teased, waving her little arms and legs around, looking very cute.

In Liu Guixiang's eyes, her own dolls are beautiful everywhere. No one in the village can compare with them. They are the most beautiful babies she has ever seen.

She thought so and said this to Qiao Niuer, with a gentle and kind smile on her face, and her soft voice was as warm and soft as the early spring wind.

Qiao Niuer didn't understand but it didn't stop her from laughing. She looked at her mother and grinned happily.

"Daughter-in-law Yuan Dong, what are you selling?"

"Auntie, these are shrimp paste steamed buns. Brother Ping also sold them when he went to the market before. They cost a penny

each and they tasted particularly good." "You want a penny for these steamed buns? Who knows how to make steamed buns? "

"Everyone knows how to make steamed buns, but only my brother Ping can make shrimp paste. If you haven't tasted it, you don't know how good it tastes. Everyone who has tasted it says it's delicious. Look, the braised pork and braised pig's trotters made by my brother Ping are not enough to sell every day."

Qiao Niuer groaned a little when her mother was talking to others, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Liu Guixiang gently shook the basket with her hands skillfully, and turned to smile at Qiao Niuer: "Good girl, I'm helping your third uncle sell steamed buns."

The old aunt didn't come over to sell, but she was another villager passing by. , he had eaten the shrimp paste steamed buns and listened to the conversation, and he was overjoyed.

"I thought Brother Ping didn't sell shrimp paste steamed buns. Give me two. My brother has not had a good appetite these two days and hasn't eaten much."

Liu Guixiang recognized that this was the second uncle of the family: "Brother Can "My son is not feeling better yet?"

"My illness is almost better, but I don't have much appetite. It may be because I have been drinking too much medicine recently. I can't stand the medicine prescribed by the doctor." Stay."

After chatting for a while, my second uncle gave me the money and left with two shrimp paste buns.

"Brother Ping." Liu Guixiang shouted to the stove house with a smile on her face: "It's open today."

There was nothing going on in the stove house, except to watch the heat. Chen Yuping came out to talk to his second sister-in-law, and by the way, Qiao Niuer Hold her in your arms and play with her.

After a while, another person came and wanted to buy shrimp paste steamed buns.

Several waves came one after another, which made it a bit boring.

Liu Guixiang asked curiously: "How did you know that Brother Ping set up a stall selling shrimp paste steamed buns?"

"The old aunt of Jiang's family talked about this under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village, saying that your family was going crazy trying to make money, selling only one steamed bun. Who knows how to make steamed buns for only one penny? She spat so loudly that everyone yelled at her.

"She always has such a small nose and small eyes." "

A penny for a shrimp paste steamed bun ." , What's bothering her, and I didn't push her head to make her pay for it. It's what you want."

"She is jealous when she sees the Chen family making money."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed. laughed.

After the braised pork and braised pig's trotters were ready, Chen Yuping took them to a stall outside and placed them on the ground, covering them with a thin layer of gauze. The rich fragrance diffused bit by bit through the light gauze, drifting more and more with the wind. Far.

Liu Guixiang smiled and joked: "It's time to get busy soon."

"It's just a little while."

Sure enough, not long after, many people hurried to Chen's house.

He shouted from afar: "Brother Ping, why did you just show it out? I want two braised pig's trotters, leave two for me. I didn't even buy them yesterday."

"Leave two pieces of braised pork for me. Leave one of the braised pig trotters."

"It doesn't matter if you shout, whoever runs faster counts. Brother Ping, you can't listen to them."

"Hey! You little brat, I didn't do that when I was young. What's the matter with you?"

You said something to me, and the group of people was very lively. In terms of this child's character, it doesn't matter what age group he is, he is young and old.

"Don't worry, line up and come one by one." Seeing the crowd approaching, Chen Yuping hurriedly spoke: "In addition to the braised pork trotters and shrimp paste steamed buns, if you haven't tried them before, you can buy them and try them. I guarantee you won't. "Disappointed ."

"Brother Ping, I have to keep my two braised pig trotters." After a pause, the old man said, "I am the oldest here, so you should take it easy."

The old loves the young, I am the youngest, uncles and uncles must love the young. "

" Go ahead, I am the oldest, what did I say? Both of them should be more honest, even my old arms and legs are running away. However, where is the shameless shouting?"

There was no calmness in the queue, and there was a lot of noise and indescribable intimacy in the excitement.

The folks and neighbors looked up and looked down, no one was really angry, they were just having fun.

"I even bought steamed buns, so I was completely free. I just ate steamed buns with shrimp paste, ate braised pig trotters, and drank some wine. It was wonderful!"

"Since Brother Ping started selling food, my pocket has been getting thinner and thinner. "

Besides, the Shen family who sells wine have to thank Brother Ping from our village. For this snack, I run to the Shen family house every now and then. Brother Ping's braised pork trotters are so delicious. " "It's very tasty. I can eat it with my meal. Even if I don't have a bar, I always feel like something is missing."

While joking, the braised pork, braised pig's trotters, and shrimp paste steamed buns were all sold out.

Yes, there were people who queued up but didn't buy anything. They wandered away and bought delicious food. They stayed together in twos and threes, looking happy and satisfied.

When Chen Yuanqiu heard that the shrimp paste steamed buns were sold out, he patted his thigh and said, "I just said I have to make a hundred."

"I'm taking such a big step, and I'm not afraid of losing my eggs." Old man Chen denounces the youngest every day.

"It's good that it's sold out." Father Chen was delighted and gave twenty coins to his third son, five coins each to his younger son and second son, and he got twenty coins for himself. "Brother Ping, how many do you think we should make tomorrow? One hundred definitely won't work, it's too much."

Chen Yuping thought for a while: "Let's stick to fifty. It's safer. The most important thing is that it will sell more. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep up with the shrimp paste."

Fifty shrimp paste is supplied every day, which will make us one or two cents in a month.

Even if it is divided into three parts, it is not too small. There are several hundred coins. Brothers Chen Yuandong and Chen Yuanqiu can get a hundred and fifty coins if they have less. If business is good and the shrimp paste is enough, they may be able to sell more. About 200 yuan a month is enough to be stable.

Farmers only rely on farming in the fields and raising pigs and chickens at home. After a year, if the harvest is good, they can save one or two taels of silver. If they do some part-time work during the off-season, they can save two or three taels, which is pretty good.

The busy days soon came to the end of the month, and it was the seventh market day.

On the 26th, Father Chen and his third son took the village's ox cart to the town early.

This time I visited all the pork stalls in the town and bought all the pig trotters.

Chen Yuping thought about it and finally decided to buy a few pairs of pig intestines, braise them when he got home, and try to sell them tomorrow.

Pig intestines are cheap and troublesome to clean, so for three cents a pair of small and large intestines are given.

He held several pairs of pig intestines in his hand. They were heavy and weighed down his hands. The smell was also very unpleasant. Father Chen frowned and said, "Brother Ping, can this really be sold for money?"

"Yes, dad, believe me." , This stew is very delicious. I will pass by Shenjiawu later and I will buy some wine. "

The wine in Shenjiawu is a little cheaper than in the town.

The whole afternoon, I did nothing but busy cleaning pig intestines.

Father Chen did not work in the fields, but took care of his third son at home, doing whatever he told him to do, over and over again, scrubbing and washing.

"This is more tiring than working in the fields. After cleaning up like this, the smell is indeed gone."

"Dad, please rest for a while. I'll go and set up the stew pot."

"Don't rest, I'll light the fire for you."

By the time we had dinner, the braised pig intestines were not ready yet, and we would have to wait until tomorrow morning to really enjoy the flavor.

Thinking that if this business is good, it will be sold out tomorrow and will be put on the stall at home, so I built a new braised pot for the braised pig intestines. Compared with the braised pig trotters, it has a more spicy and refreshing taste.

Chen Yuping tasted it before going to bed last night. It was delicious!

There is no need to simmer the braised pig intestines in the pot. After simmering for a long time, it will taste soft and unpalatable. Let the marinade cool and put it in a jar. The flavored braised pig intestines will continue to sit in the jar overnight. The taste will be better tomorrow.

You have to get up early to go to the market. If you go late, you won't get a good seat.

When it came to serious matters, Chen Yuping didn't let his guard down. After Chen's father got up, he also got up.

After a busy schedule, before the old man Chen and his son came back for breakfast, they had to go to Shenjiawu to go to the market. Their breakfast was warmed in a pot and they ate meat buns with green onions.

When they arrived at the stall, before they could put down their burdens, the children of the Shen family came over.

"I'm looking forward to going to the market. I've heard a lot of people say recently that your braised pig's trotters and braised pork are delicious. Give me three of each and four shrimp paste steamed buns."

"Would you like to buy some braised pig intestines as well? " "How about a penny?"

It was strung on a bamboo stick, and the sticks were cut out by Chen Yuanqiu and Chen Yuandong.

"Pig intestines?" The Shen family members frowned when they heard the word pig intestines. When Chen Yuping took out a bunch of braised pig intestines, the spicy braised aroma penetrated his nose. The strong aroma made him dazzled for a moment. Then, he opened his mouth and bought five skewers in one go. He couldn't wait to take a bite, wow ! shock! Simply delicious! This spicy and fragrant taste is just one word good!

"Five more skewers."

Chapter 9

"This is pig intestines? Doesn't it smell bad?"

"There's no smell at all, just a strong aroma of braised pork. It's numb, spicy, crispy and chewy when you take a bite." The children of the Shen family ate three skewers in a row, and their foreheads were boiling. A thin layer of sweat broke out: "It's delicious! This braised pork intestine is more to my taste than the braised pork trotters." As he said that, he wiped off the sweat and took a breath: "Ten more skewers, I'll take them back to treat my brother Let's eat."

"You want ten skewers?"

"Yes, it's so exciting to eat. How could you think that the stinky pig intestines are so delicious?"

Chen Yuping kindly reminded: "You. But take it easy, be careful of getting angry. "Squatting in a large size can be uncomfortable.

"So spicy?" The person who spoke shook his head: "You'd better give me two braised pig's trotters and two shrimp paste steamed buns."

The braised pig's trotters are also skewered with bamboo skewers. The skewers should be larger, so that the braised pork will not be too soft. Use bamboo sticks and buy oil paper to pack them.

"One skewer per penny seems to be a good deal. It's enough to eat several bites. Give me a skewer to try."

"Is it really so spicy? The smell is so tempting. I'm afraid it's too spicy and I won't feel comfortable eating it. Is it spicy or not? ? Look how delicious it is when you eat it. I want to buy some skewers too, but I'm afraid it's too spicy. "

"It's okay, it's not very spicy, it's spicy and spicy. It's really interesting." After finishing one skewer, he gasped and said, "Two more skewers, or three skewers, this one is delicious and strong."

"It's only one skewer, and you're blushing. Why are you still eating it?"

"I'm such a person. In this way, eating something exciting will make you blush easily, and nothing will happen."

Looking at this man's appearance, the crowd looked at each other.

"Is it really so delicious? It was so spicy that my face turned red, and I eagerly paid for it."

"Maybe it is really delicious, although I can't imagine it. The pig intestines I have eaten always have an indescribable smell. The taste is lingering on the tip of the tongue." As he spoke, he said, "Give me a bunch to try."

"Whether you want to buy it or not, I want it. I want braised pork. Give me five yuan." Come in: "I'm talking about young people, you usually set up a stall at home, can you prepare more braised pork? I just bought it once and tasted it. I want to eat it but can't, it makes me feel uncomfortable!"

"Braised pig Do you still have the intestines? I want twenty skewers!"

The hurried footsteps and hurried sounds instantly attracted the attention of everyone nearby.

What is braised pig intestines? Can pig intestines be eaten? I can't stand the smell just by smelling it. Is it crazy to buy twenty skewers in one go?

"Third brother of the Chen family, I want twenty strings. Here is the money. Keep it."

Twenty strings! The onlookers were shocked by this generosity. They really spent 20 cents to buy 20 skewers of pig intestines. The 20 skewers were probably not enough for a pair of pig intestines. A pair of pig intestines only cost 3 cents. Crazy. Yes, crazy.

"I want three skewers."

"I want two skewers."

"Brother Ping, I want five skewers, give me five skewers."

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, why are you squeezing me? I want five skewers too."

At the stall The people watching were excited by the twenty skewers. They were afraid that they would not be able to taste it if it was too late. They didn't care whether it was smelly or spicy. Don't worry about it. They bought it first and held it in their hands. Anyway, it only cost a penny. string.

The braised pig intestines sold like crazy at once, but fortunately there were two people at the stall, Father Chen and Chen Yuping, both of whom were able to hold on.

"Don't worry, come one by one and line up."

"Here, please take your three skewers."

"Five skewers, your five skewers are here." Chen Yuping raised the braised pig intestines in his hand.

"What are you selling? Are you selling braised meat?" The scene was so lively that you couldn't even see what the stall was selling.

"It just sells braised meat. It tastes good. Now I can't even squeeze in."

"What's so delicious about pig intestines? They cost a penny a bunch. You can buy a pair for three pennies in town and can cook a big bowl." "I can't believe it. When did pig intestines become so popular?

"You have to have this skill. Without the good skills of the third brother of the Chen family, no one would be willing to buy just pig intestines for a penny a piece."

Father Chen and Chen Yuping had no intention of listening to Ji Feng next to them. The father and son were very busy. They were concentrating and did not dare to be distracted. This business could not go wrong.

In less than one stick of incense, five sets of braised pig intestines were sold out.

The braised pork trotters are almost sold out, there is still some braised pork, and the shrimp paste steamed buns are the most left. This morning, Father Chen made 500 of them in one go.

"The braised pig intestines are gone."

"It's gone? How long has it been since the stall was opened? It's not even half an hour. Why don't you order more braised pork intestines?" The one who didn't buy it looked pityful.

Chen Yuping smiled and replied kindly: "There are still some braised pig trotters and braised pork, and the shrimp paste steamed buns are also delicious."

"Buy some shrimp paste steamed buns, and a piece of braised pork. You can make more on the seventh day of next month." One penny A skewer of braised pig intestines is much more cost-effective than braised pork trotters. Even if it doesn't come with shrimp paste steamed buns, the homemade steamed buns are also delicious.

"Okay, I'll braise more next time. Brother will come here earlier. If you're late, you might not be able to make it."

The braised pork trotters and braised pork are also sold out, there are dozens of shrimp paste steamed buns left, and there are finally no people around the stall.

Father Chen and Chen Yuping can breathe a sigh of relief, sit down and take a sip of water.

"Your stall sells too fast." The aunt next to her was full of envy: "If I had half the skill of Brother Ping, I would laugh out loud in my dreams."

The stall on the right responded: "I guess It's great to be able to close the stall after half time."

"Brother Ping has such good skills. Uncle Chen, you can also be more relaxed."

"Shuangcheng's pastry skills are also very good. It won't take long to close the stall. , maybe, we can go back to the village together." Father Chen talked happily with the village neighbors.

Chen Yuping was not familiar with them, so he was listening nearby. Someone looked over and pursed his lips with a shallow, kind smile. He looked very well-behaved and honest.

"Why do I see that Brother Ping's features are so much prettier? He is nineteen this year, and he is still growing. He is getting more and more straight as he grows."

"Brother Ping likes to laugh a little. He liked to laugh when he was a child. She was very cute when she laughed. At that time, Uncle Chen was carrying Brother Ping out to rush to the door. I liked to tease Brother Ping, and I would laugh when I teased him. Speaking of which, Yuan Dong's Qiao Niuer was just like Brother Ping in this way. He also has a fair and tender little face and a chubby face, and he looks very cute when he smiles. "

Among the four children, the third son was really the prettiest when he was a child. He had red lips and white teeth. Thinking about it now, Father Chen's heart is filled with tenderness. Almost.

Seeing that his father was chatting animatedly with his village neighbors, Chen Yuping quietly greeted the businessmen at the stall.

Only the shrimp paste steamed buns are left, so there is nothing complicated.

While talking, Father Chen turned to look at the stall and saw that the shrimp paste steamed buns were sold out.

"Is it sold out?"

"Well, it was just sold out, and someone took all the rest." Chen Yuping smiled and threw a hand full of copper coins into the money box.

"Let's wait for your Shuangcheng brother, he

will close his stall soon." It was almost the end of the afternoon when we got home, and there was still a little time before noon.

I closed the stall early today and was actually very tired.

"Dad, don't be too busy with the trivial chores at home. Take a breather first and calculate how much money you have."

Father Chen's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and there was a bit of teasing in his eyes: "It's better. Let's wait until your father comes back. We didn't wait for him last time. He didn't say anything. He still muttered something while lying on the bed at night. This old man loves face and is not even willing to mention it to me. He had such an awkward temper when he was young. "

"There is still this matter." Chen Yuping suddenly became happy after hearing this.

There were only two people at home, and they had nothing to do. Father Chen talked about some things from their youth.

When Liu Guixiang came over, she heard bursts of laughter before entering the house: "Dad, brother Ping, you are back. It seems to be earlier than last time."

"Yes, don't look at the pig intestines, no one is buying them . Let's eat together, the braised pig intestines are selling like crazy, they were sold out first." As he spoke, Father Chen took the eldest granddaughter from his second daughter-in-law's hand, lowering his head and teasing her with a gentle voice.

Chapter 10

There was also a plate of braised pig intestines and a few small pieces of braised pig trotters. I didn't save the braised pork but some pork belly. I fried twice-cooked pork. Before I left, I stewed corn bone soup. I picked two handfuls of green vegetables from the vegetable garden and cooked them. A small stir-fry will complete your lunch meal.

Take out the wine that you bought from Shen's house yesterday.

Except for Liu Guixiang, who was not allowed to drink alcohol while breastfeeding, the others all picked up their wine glasses and sipped at the braised food.

"It's numb and spicy. The sauced pig's trotters that Brother Ping made before are not as strong as this one. It's very enjoyable." Chen Yuandong is relatively good at spicy food. The braised pig intestines suit his appetite. He also thought that his father-in-law, brother-in-law and the others would also like it. If they like spicy food, compared to braised pork, this braised pork intestine may suit their hearts better.

As the saying goes, a family does not live in the same house. Liu Guixiang can also eat spicy food, but she is breastfeeding and has to eat lighter, which is a bit hard to endure.

"It's a bit numb." Chen Yuanqiu breathed and took a sip of the wine: "It's delicious!" He stuffed another mouthful of rice into his mouth and said vaguely: "I think it would be better with rice, but the wine is too spicy."

Old man Chen liked braised pig intestines very much. He ate slowly, with a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of food, without even touching the rice. His face was filled with contentment and enjoyment.

"You should eat less. It's very hot today and your bones won't be able to hold you back." Father Chen advised in a low voice.

Chen Yuping has tasted stronger braised food in modern times and found it not too spicy but really fragrant. He was impressed by his craftsmanship. It was great.

"Stew some mung bean soup in the evening."

Chen Yuping continued: "Make some honeysuckle and chrysanthemum tea tomorrow. The weather is getting hotter, so it's good to drink some herbal tea."

"I dried the honeysuckle and chrysanthemums last year, and there are still a lot of them. The first two When Liu Guixiang was at home, her mother loved to expose these trivial things, and rarely went to the drug store to buy them. She was far less diligent than her mother. When I had time, I went into the mountains to search for some to dry.

Father Chen is a brother. After all, he is also a man. Compared with women, he is still less delicate.

He didn't like to think about such trivial matters, and he wasn't very good at needlework. When Qiao Niu'er was born, he always asked his neighbors to help him make clothes, shoes and hats. Later, his second daughter-in-law wouldn't let him spend the money anymore. , she knows how to do it by herself, just take it easy.

If you want to sell braised pig intestines at home, just a pair of pig intestines from the third uncle's house is not enough. You have to go to the town to buy them.

It's a bit far to go to the town, and we don't have any cattle at home, let alone an ox cart. Taking someone else's ox cart will always be unlucky in terms of timing.

I have to buy a cow. With a cow, my family can relax when they are busy with farm work. It is also easier to go to town with a bullock cart.

"Dad, how much money does a cow cost?"

Father Chen thought for a while: "I'm not sure. The cow your uncle's family bought last year cost nearly sixty taels, and the calf would be cheaper. Brother Ping wants to buy a cow?" I don't have much land at home, so I don't need it."

"I just want the braised pig intestines to sell well, so I can put them at home instead of going to the market. However, I have to go to town to buy the pig intestines, and walking back and forth is too long. "It's not a good idea to always borrow someone else's oxcart. The farm season is about to begin."

"If I want to buy a cow, my family still has enough money, but it doesn't mean I can buy it. I have to see if it's available." Sell ​​it." Father Chen added, "Let relatives and neighbors help you to pay attention. If you believe it, come and tell me."

Chen Yuping nodded: "Dad, I will pay for the cow. " Come on."

"You shouldn't pay if you have money."

"I'll pay half."

Father Chen looked at his third son and said, "Okay, half."

Liu Guixiang learned that her father wanted to buy a cow. The husband discussed it: "My father wants to buy a cow. I think it would be better to buy a cow. It will make everything easier. However, should we contribute a share of the money to buy the cow? Our family only has a dozen acres of land in total." "One cow is enough."

"How about half of it?"

"I think that's fine."

The next day, Chen Yuandong asked his father and dad about buying a cow. His family also wanted to spend some money.

Father Chen immediately laughed: "Your third brother also said that he would pay for it. Well, I won't say anything. Each person will pay one share and divide it into three parts."

"Do I want to pay for it?" Chen Yuanqiu sounded a little bit stupid.

"What kind of money are you paying? You have no land and no land, and you don't need to use cattle." Old man Chen replied.

"Oh oh oh." The braised pig intestines

cannot be sold for the time being. The profit of the braised pork trotters in braised pork is limited a day. The shrimp paste steamed buns can now be sold over a hundred a day. There is a profit, but it is divided into four parts. Although he takes the big head, Chen Yuping still I think it's a bit slow to save money.

He was thinking about what to eat, and he couldn't go to the town to get food locally.

He didn't think of a suitable snack for a while. When he walked into the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, he looked at the green garden and immediately thought of a suitable snack.

How suitable for making vegetarian pot skewers!

Vegetarian pot skewers are very similar to Malatang and a bit like hot pot, but slightly different from the two.

The most important thing about vegetarian pot skewers is the bottom of the pot. Whether it tastes good or not depends on whether the heat on the bottom of the pot is authentic enough.

On the 26th, when he entered the town, Chen Yuping, who had a lot of money, bought another aniseed. He was not short of money and bought all the spices.

It's just a vegetarian pot skewers. He doesn't have to go to town at all. He can just go into the house and pick it up.

In addition to the aniseed, the stock is also key.

Chen Yuping made a trip to the third uncle's house and agreed on what kind of bones he wanted tomorrow, leaving some meat on them and not picking them too clean. At the same time, he also paid the money.

I don't raise ducks at home, but my uncle does, and he went to buy another duck.

The next day, the rooster crowed three times, and the genius was bright. Old man Chen and his wife had just left the house, but before they entered the kitchen, they saw their third son coming out of the house in a daze.

"Wake up so early?" Father Chen was surprised. He had never seen him get up so early even when he was going to the market.

Old man Chen said: "I'm probably going to the latrine."

"Father, Dad, good morning." Chen Yuping yawned and walked out: "Dad, leave a stove for me later, I want to make soup."

Chen Yuping said When the father saw this, he asked: "Where are you going?"

"Go to the third uncle's house to get the bones and meat."

"I'll go." Seeing this shaky step, Father Chen was worried that the child was sleeping on the roadside: "You stay at home, I'll go."

At the end of the morning, the sun hung in the sky, emitting bursts of heat.

The bottom of Chen Yuping's skewers pot came out, the small stove was moved to the shade of the tree, and the fragrant pot was placed on the bottom. There were skewered vegetarian skewers on the table beside it, covered with clean gauze.

"Brother Ping, what is this? It smells so good." Liu Guixiang couldn't help but swallowed.

Chen Yuping took a few vegetarian skewers and said, "Second sister-in-law will know after you try it. I didn't add too much spice to the bottom of the pot. I pay attention to the freshness." He also mixed in additional chili oil. A small bowl of chili oil was a waste of time for him. After a lot of effort, a lot of seasonings were added one after another. It is fragrant and spicy, and it is quite appetizing.

"Okay, second sister-in-law, please try it."

Liu Guixiang took the two skewers and put them in her mouth to taste them carefully: "It's delicious! So refreshing and fragrant." She finished the two skewers quickly, smashed it into her mouth, and it was full. It's all full of endless aftertaste: "How does Brother Ping plan to sell it?"

"Two skewers for one penny."

Although it is a vegetarian dish that can be seen everywhere in the countryside, Liu Guixiang feels that Brother Ping's new vegetarian pot skewers business will definitely be particularly prosperous.

It's so delicious, I want to eat it more and I can't stop. She doesn't want to eat too much, she has to sell it for money.
