Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Chapter 65 The Poor Little One Killed by His Uncle 21
People of this generation all like to eat big fat meat. When the old lady saw her asking for three pounds of pure lean meat, she thought the child didn't know how to eat, so she said, "Yuanchun, the lean meat is hard and woody, and it doesn't taste good. It's not as delicious as big fat meat. Cut more big fat meat, and you can make oil and eat lard at home. It's fragrant and delicious."

"Auntie, I like to eat lean meat."

Crispy and delicious pork, even better than lard residue.

However, Yuanchun would not say it.

Nowadays, people only use a little oil when cooking. Some people even cook vegetables directly in water without adding any oil. If she said she would fry lean meat in oil, wouldn't she be hated?

When the aunt heard that she liked it, she didn't say anything else.

The old village chief said, "Yuanchun is the daughter of a martyr in our village. Our team should take better care of her. Erniu, give her an extra pound of lean meat and a few large bones so that the child can take them back to make soup."

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief."

Yuanchun smiled with her eyes curved.

The villagers had no objection.

After all, the village has the responsibility to take care of the children of martyrs. What's more, Yuanchun only wants the lean meat that others don't want. If she gives one more pound, then she will give one more pound. There is so much meat, so she doesn't care about that one pound.

Erniu is the village butcher.

Erniu cut the meat and put it into Yuanchun's small basket.

The old lady reached out to help her carry it, and Yuanchun smiled and said, "Auntie, I can carry it. I also want to buy two pig ears and a set of pig offal."

Spicy pig ears, spicy fried pork belly, braised large intestines, braised pork liver, pork intestine noodles...are all her favorites.

She couldn't normally eat these delicacies, but now that she had the chance to eat them, she certainly wouldn't miss it. She even brought a wooden barrel containing pig offal.

The old lady also saw her wooden barrel. She smiled and said, "You bought so much. Can you finish it? But it's not much money. You can buy it and ask your second brother to send it back for you."

"Okay, thank you, ma'am."

After thanking her, Yuanchun said to Erniu, "Uncle Erniu, I want to buy some pig offal, and two pig ears." Erniu laughed and said, "Pig offal is not easy to cook. If it's not cooked well, it will smell bad. I didn't expect a little girl like you to like it, hahaha..."

Yuanchun gave him a disdainful look and said, "My cooking is delicious."

The aunt also chimed in, "Erniu, don't laugh at my Yuanchun. She inherited her cooking skills from her mother, and she cooks better than I do."

"Ah, I didn't expect that you, a little girl, are really good at this. Well, I'll get you some pigs."

Erniu readily gave her a pair of the largest pig offal and cut off two of the largest pig ears and put them in her vegetable basket.

The accountant was keeping accounts and collecting money.

Yuanchun paid two dollars and eighty cents, and together with her second cousin, she sent the meat and offal back home.

Yuanchun smiled and said, "Second brother, when I make the pig offal, I'll send some to you to try. It's delicious."

"Okay, then Second Brother will wait for your feast."

Her second cousin helped her fill the water tank before going to the brigade headquarters to watch the meat being distributed.

Yuanchun boiled water at home and processed the pig offal.

When they were halfway through the process, Cheng Fang came with the meat.

"Yuanchun, let's celebrate the New Year together. I'll give you all the meat. I'll come to your place to celebrate the New Year and you can make me some braised pork."

Cheng Fang knew that Yuanchun liked to eat lean meat, so he used his work points to buy three more pounds of lean meat. There were a total of eight pounds of meat in his basket.

Yuanchun showed a mouthful of broken teeth, "Okay, then you should come early to help me light the fire, and I will make you something delicious."
