Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 214 Lowering the atmosphere of Nancheng Village

"This is a peddler I met in the city before it rained. He said it was selling sweet potato flour. It didn't look like flour to me, and it was a bit expensive. I only bought a few catties and came back to try it."

"Staying at home on a rainy day, I tried a few times, and found that only fried pancakes are delicious, and pancakes spread out are not as good as this."

Ding Shitou explained as planned.

"Oh? How expensive?" Elder Zhang Qi also asked curiously.Because I have never heard of sweet potato flour.

"The price of a catty of meat." Ding Shitou explained vaguely.

A catty of meat costs eighteen Wen in the city and twenty Wen in the village.

Ordinary people's homes don't have meat every day, that is, during New Year's festivals or banquets for important guests.

Therefore, Ding Shitou's words immediately increased the value of potato balls many times.

Everyone was in an uproar. The potato balls that were eaten just a few bites were not cheaper than Dongpo meat.

Everyone was talking about it, but no one asked where to buy it.

Ding Shitou said just now that he is a peddler, probably not from a nearby village, after all, they have never heard of this thing.

Spicy fish fillets, Dongpo pork, stewed pork belly slices, stir-fried pork liver and kidney, scrambled eggs with shepherd's purse, old bone tofu soup, fried dried fish, fried potato balls.

There are a total of eight bowls, the plain ones don’t have chrysanthemum, and the mountain delicacies don’t have fungus, but the meat can be counted as four, and the noodles are still very rich.

After everyone ate, the guests and the host had a good time, and the bowls were bottomed out, and the teenagers rubbed their stomachs and got up, laughing and going to the kitchen to ask sister Xiaofu for tea.

Sister Xiaofu didn't serve the table, but left some dishes in the kitchen.Ding Dian greeted the teenagers, Ding Shitou turned around the tables and toasted everyone.

However, since she was too young to drink, she poured sweet wine in the glass.

The craftsmen left the table afterward. They still had work in the afternoon and had to take a rest after dinner.

Then came Jiang Huzi's father and Carpenter Wang. They thanked Ding Shitou and left.

The most leisurely ones are the old men. With such good appetizers, everyone also took this opportunity to get together to eat, drink, and talk about the livelihood in the village. It's so leisurely.

There were also women who came to watch the fun, but the village head and elders were eating here, and there was a room full of men, so the women didn't dare to come in, they all looked at it from a distance, discussing what kind of food they had.

It's not easy to scold me about eating. Although the village chief doesn't like it, he feels that these talkative and troublesome women have lowered the atmosphere of Nancheng Village, but he is not good to speak up.

Fortunately, with them in charge, nothing happened after all.

It's just that when the table became vacant one after another, and only the village head and the elders remained at the table, the women finally couldn't help but walked into the open room and looked around the empty table.

"The bottom of this bowl is very oily. I heard that Ding Shi bought ten catties of meat from the butcher's house. It seems that it is ready for cooking."

"There are still fish heads in this pot. I heard that Jiang Huzi cast a net again this morning."

"Hey, this Jiang Huzi is really an enthusiastic person. The Ding family asks him for any fish they want to eat. Why doesn't he give us one or two fish that don't cost money?"

"Hehe...you don't have a suitable little girl in your family, or you can tell Brother Huzi, and you can't bring the fish to your door?"

"Hahaha, what are you talking about?" The woman who was laughed at pointed at the woman who teased her and laughed, and several people laughed ambiguously.

"Snapped!"

There was a sudden sound, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

"Huzi is a young man, it's okay to be laughed at by you, how old is the daughter of the Ding family? You are also mothers, how can you say such shameless words!"
