As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

Chapter 53 Let’s make braised pork tonight!

"My wife can spend money however she wants. If you have the ability, let your man spend money on you. Don't talk nonsense here! You are old and you should be careful of your tongue. If you say one more word, I will be your door god for a day to ward off evil spirits. How about that?"

What girl? This old woman’s eyesight might be not very good. They look like a perfectly matched couple, okay? Chen Yan’s face turned pale.

If she meets a tough guy and tries to ward off evil, she will have no business for the whole day. If she fails to sell the products, she will be beaten to death with a big stick by the man in her family.

Granny Shi shrank her neck and said timidly: "It's my fault that I have a foul mouth. Don't worry about it. The young lady can spend it however she wants..."

Mrs. Wang was delighted. She stretched her neck and said to Mrs. Shi deliberately, "There are 20 chicks and 26 ducklings, a total of 46!"

Mrs. Shi was so angry that her neck stiffened.

"Miss, let's take 828 coins together. I'll take 820 coins from you!" Mrs. Wang was in a very good mood. "Miss, take the cage too!"

Cui Yunzhu was about to say something when Mrs. Wang opened her mouth to give her some. She took out the money from her purse and gave it to Mrs. Wang, nodding at her: "Thank you, Auntie!"

"I have to thank you! Take care, two Gods of Wealth!"

Mrs. Wang carefully collected the silver and happily sent her God of Wealth away. Looking at the backs of the two people, she couldn't help but feel a little envious. This girl is so lucky...

When passing by the pork stall, Cui Yunzhu planned to buy a few pounds of pork. She had to have a legitimate treat and also improve the food for Zheng and Chen Qiqi.

"Wife, are you going to make pork belly?"

Chen Yan was just about to show his craving for food on his face.

"Okay, let's make braised pork today, haha."

"Master, give me two pounds of pork belly and two pounds of hind leg meat!"

The meat from the hind legs is firm and has little fat, so she planned to use it to make dumplings. There happened to be a large bag of white flour in her backpack, which was perfect for making dumplings.

"Okay, sir. Two pounds of pork belly and two pounds of hind legs. A total of 134 coins!"

The butcher used the big kitchen knife in his hand to scratch the half pork on the stall a few times, and then took out the part that Cui Yunzhu wanted.

After cutting the meat, he didn't bother to collect the money and turned around to cut meat for the next customer.

The young apprentice took the money and looked at Cui Yunzhu, who looked a little unfamiliar. He patiently explained: "Sir, this meat is exactly four catties. The hind leg meat is 32 wen per catty, and the pork belly is 35 wen per catty, a total of 134 wen. Don't worry, I won't make a mistake."

Cui Yunzhu was indeed a little surprised. The butcher's hand was like a scale and he could cut so accurately!

In modern times, she also went to the vegetable market with her aunt, and every time she ordered a certain amount, the stall owner would always cut more for her.

She didn't expect that the butcher in the town would be so honest and his technique so precise when she came to the town to buy meat for the first time.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it turns out that every industry has its own talents, and no one should be underestimated.

The people of Daxia like to eat meat with fat, so pork belly is more expensive. The hind legs are basically lean meat, so the price is cheaper than pork belly. She knows this.

After taking the meat, she put it into Chen Yan's backpack, and they had to hurry home.

On the way, she did not forget to find a deserted place and put the chickens and ducklings into the space.

Chen family kitchen.

It was already afternoon when the two returned to Chen's house. Zheng had already started a fire in the kitchen. Cui Yunzhu was afraid that she would overcook the dishes, so she hurried in and shouted, "Mom! We went to the town to buy some meat. We're going to make braised pork tonight!"

When the dish “Red Braised Pork” came out, Chen Qiqi couldn’t sit still anymore.

Little Zheng on the side was also happy. Who wouldn't be happy when there was meat to eat?

After that, she took out two pieces of pork from the basket behind Chen Yan. Zheng looked at the two pieces of pork and felt so distressed: "This looks like it must weigh several kilograms, right?"

Why does the third son's wife live such a lavish life? She doesn't know how to be frugal.

"Mom, I wanted to eat braised pork, so I asked my wife to buy more. Alas, it's embarrassing to say that all the money she earned from embroidery was used. But when the weather gets warmer, I will go hunting in the mountains to subsidize her. I won't let my wife earn money to support the family alone."

Chen Yan spoke casually.

Cui Yunzhu secretly gave him a thumbs up. Although he didn't quite understand what it meant, he thought it was a compliment, so he laughed even more exaggeratedly.

Zheng looked at the stupid look of the third son and felt that her previous idea was too bad. This was all using the money of the third son's wife, and she could even get some food with it. How could she have such an idea?

She cursed herself in her heart and said to Cui Yunzhu, "Hey, isn't mother a little worried about your money? That much meat must cost a lot of money."

"Not much, mother. We don't eat like this every day. We don't go to town very often, so we thought we'd cut more meat to satisfy our hunger. We can also make dumplings with the hind leg meat."

Cui Yunzhu just pretended to be stupid, and Zheng didn't say anything anyway.

Chen Yan put down the backpack, which was filled with two large bags of flour and rice. When Zheng saw it, her heart skipped a beat.

Not to mention a few pounds of meat, there are also two large bags of grain. You know, the grain at home has not been sold yet, so why are we going to the town to buy grain?

Isn't this a waste of money? She grumbled to herself again.

Chen Qiqi also came up at this time: "Third brother and third sister-in-law, why did you buy so much food? We have plenty of food at home."

She was a little worried: "You guys were deceived."

Little Zheng was also a little confused, but she was always quiet and didn't get involved, so she just stood aside and watched.

"How can you force a cow to drink water when it doesn't want to drink it?" Cui Yunzhu joked.

She told him what happened at Zhaoji Grain Store, but omitted the fact that she bought seeds. She just said she went to the grain store to look at something.

After hearing this, Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart was beating fast and she was in a panic.

"Then you are really lucky. You ran into the boss's nephew who was showing off his power and ruining the store's reputation, and the boss's wife saw it."

She walked forward, opened the bag, looked at the contents and exclaimed, "Oh my God, this lady boss is really generous. These are all top-quality rice and flour. Is she just giving them away like that?"

"This will cost a lot of silver. Yunzhu is really our family's lucky star. With your coming, we have meat and such delicious white rice and flour."

Zheng wanted to smooth things over.

"Mom, it's just a coincidence. It's better for our family to live a good life than anything else. Qiqi, come and give me a hand."

Cui Yunzhu didn't want to say more and went to cook.

Chen Qiqi rolled up her sleeves and followed over, skipping and jumping: "Third sister-in-law, what should I do?"

"Go to the fields with your brother and pick some Chinese cabbage and green onions, then wash them."

"Okay! No need for my third brother, he's in the way!" Chen Qiqi rushed out immediately.

Braised pork, this is the braised pork made by the third sister-in-law, she has to behave well, let alone going to the backyard to pick cabbages, she would even be willing to go to her grandmother's house to pick them!
