The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 247 Prepare for New Year's goods (1)
"Pfft!" Su Xiazhi was taken aback when she heard that, and turned her head to look opposite, seeing that Chen Maochang was chatting lively with that bean sprouts-like business woman with a smile on his face, the two of them just focused on talking , They didn’t even do business!
"Ah!" Looking at the two people who were chatting in full swing, the little fat man sighed in an old-fashioned way: "Auntie, how can you say that he is like this! We both have passed half our lives, we are here, we are here, what is he doing?" Do you want to abandon me and find a new love?"

"Pfft!" Su Xiazhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Are you jealous?"

"Not at all..." The little fat man was a little embarrassed when someone saw through his mind: "It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Haha! Xianggong, do you think this kid is interesting? I'm looking forward to seeing him!" Su Xiazhi said to Min Lansheng, pointing at the little fat man, laughing.

Min Lansheng really wanted to roll her eyes at her!
This heartless woman!Why is everyone waiting to see you!
That day he said he wanted to see An Yi's little follower, but now he said he wanted to see the fat butcher, but he didn't want to see me!snort!

Thinking about it, the scholar who was not too big in mind also felt sour.However, he still nodded to the little fat man with a smile on his face.

"Yo! It's Mr. Min!" The little fat man hurriedly ran out of the butcher shop when he saw Xiucai, and then bowed respectfully to Min Lansheng: "Chen Guanxi doesn't know Mr. Min, please don't blame Mr. Min!"

Min Lansheng raised her eyebrows indistinctly, and said in her heart: This kid is quite smart!He really knows how to talk and do things, no wonder my wife gave him a high look!
Raising her hand and making a gesture of support, Min Lansheng smiled lightly and motioned him to get up: "Don't be too polite!"

"Father!" The little fat man got up, and shouted confidently across the street: "The big customer has come to the door, do you still want to do business?"

"Ah?" Hearing his son's yelling, Chen Maochang immediately turned his head. After seeing the two people standing at the door of his shop, he immediately left the skinny bean sprout-like woman without looking back. walked over.

"Stutter! When you see Yin Zi, leave the old lady alone. You can go back and sleep with the pig!" The woman who felt left out gritted her teeth.

Everything is inferior, but reading is high. Under the influence of such sayings, scholars are obviously superior to others!

And Min Lansheng is the best-educated scholar among the several villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Ping County. Not to mention, he is also the most handsome scholar ever born, so standing outside the butcher shop, he is particularly attractive look sideways.

Across the street, the thin bean sprout-like woman glanced at Min Lansheng with her round eyes after scolding Chen Maochang, and immediately opened her mouth wide in exclamation: "What a handsome little white face!"

"Min... Mr. Min!" Chen Maochang greeted Min Lansheng kindly with a smile all over his face.

"Master Chen." Min Lansheng returned the salute with a faint smile, neither humble nor overbearing, neither far nor near.

"Yes... yes... prepare... prepare the pork for the Chinese New Year?" After saying hello, Chen Maochang raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation into the shop: "Come in... go in... go in and have a cup of tea! "

"No." Shopkeeper Chen stuttered naturally, the more anxious he got, the more he stuttered. Whenever Su Xiazhi talked to him, he felt that he would follow him and feel uncomfortable.

Waving his hand and rejecting the other's courtesy, Su Xiazhi said to Chen Maochang: "You have to seal the knives when you enter the first month. I want to buy more this time and keep them."

"Well, if it's convenient for you, on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, send me two clean pigs to Shanxia Village. I'll pay the deposit first, and I'll give you the rest after you weigh them."

In the past, there were many rules during the New Year. After entering the first lunar month, people would no longer use knives to kill animals. Therefore, most of the meat dishes eaten during the Spring Festival were prepared in advance.

Fortunately, the winter in the north is cold, even if the livestock chickens and ducks slaughtered in advance are thrown out in a basin, they will be frozen hard overnight, but they are not afraid of spoiling.

"Two...two pigs?!" Chen Maochang was secretly surprised!Unknowingly, this woman has reached the point where she can give out so much money, she should not be underestimated!

You must know that a live pig with all beards and tails can weigh more than 200 catties, and it costs at least five or six taels of silver to buy. Two pigs are worth ten taels of silver!
And now, the scholar's lady talks about buying two live pigs in the same tone as she usually speaks, so it can be seen that ten taels of silver is no longer a big deal for her...

"Yeah, two." Su Xiazhi calculated in her heart again and said, "Take both with you when you go into the water, I want both."

"Okay!" This time, before his father could speak, the little fat man answered with a smile on his face: "Auntie is going to cook pigs, right? I will send you two pigs home on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and you will give me a meal." Bar?"

"Haha!" Seeing that he was so fat and still only thinking about eating, Su Xiazhi smiled and said, "Sure, if your father is willing, I will lock you into my home and help me with my business in the future. Let's remember Maochang Buy it!"

"Hehe...hehe..." Even Chen Maochang was amused by a joke, he touched his bald head and said, "Shop... shop... is nothing, son... can't give it!"

"I really don't want it, he's too good to eat! My family can't afford it..." Su Xiazhi knew that Chen Maochang valued his son more than his life, so he was naturally reluctant, so he joked and handed over two pigs The fixed money and the scholar left together.

With money in your pocket, you will also be energetic during the Chinese New Year!

Su Xiazhi took out a paper full of writing, and bought things according to the items recorded on it, lest something might be lost.

"So much?" With more and more things in his hand, Min Lansheng couldn't hold back anymore, and he whispered softly: "My lady, after the eighth day, my husband will leave, and Gao Yue will follow at that time. There are two less people for dinner..."

"I know." Su Xiazhi stared at the signboards on both sides of the street, and when she saw the signboard of the cloth shop, she walked straight towards it: "I didn't count the rations of the two of you."

"..." These words made Min Lansheng feel like a child thrown away by her mother, she was so disappointed...

"Ma'am!" he cried, pursing his lips.

"Hehe! I'm being narrow-minded again!" Su Xiazhi grinned at him, and then said, "The price of buying things before the festival is lower, and it happens that it is winter now, and the ingredients are available again. Also, didn't we agree , Will the mother-in-law come to stay at home for a few days on the second day of the new year?"
