brother of space

Most rural people get up early, and even go to the market to buy things early, as if they are afraid that others will buy all the good things.Today coincides with the end of the busy farming season, and it is also the day when high and junior high school students are on vacation, so the streets are suddenly overcrowded.

Just a short time of less than an hour.By the time the three brothers of the Zhang family left from the eldest sister and returned to the street, the traffic on the street had already reached the point of 'one after another'.

After finally finding a meat stall, I squeezed in and saw that there was less than half of the pork left.At this rate, I'm afraid that by the time they find the second one, there will only be leftovers at most.Not daring to continue looking for the next meat stall, Zhang Jin looked at the condition of the pork on the stall, and hurriedly bought it.

Grandpa Zhang has always been very particular about life. In addition, he usually sees a doctor. Even if the fee is low, he still has spare money. Although he can't talk about eating meat every single day, once every three days is a must.

Take this morning as an example. When he was leaving, Grandpa Zhang made a point of telling him that if he came across good meat, he would buy more.Now that the weather is getting colder, I’m not afraid that too much meat will go bad, but if I want to go to the street in the future, I have to get up early to buy meat against the old north wind. It’s not easy to go to the street once.It's better to buy more at a time, and it's better to catch a few episodes in the future.

While Zhang Jin was hesitating, several more people cut off more than ten catties of meat.When it was his turn, it happened to be the part close to the middle row. According to the situation where they had to buy the meat and bones, this part would weigh three to four catties at random.

Generally, if you eat meat at home, you will struggle for a long time when you encounter this place.Because everyone doesn't want to buy so much.If the butcher happens to be out of business, he may take care of you by separating the ribs from the meat.If the business is good, then you can only buy scraps.

Zhang Jin didn't need to worry about it today, because Grandpa Zhang told him to buy more, and besides, the pork belly in this part is better than other places.With the bones and meat down, he can divide it into two dishes to entertain guests.

It's just that if there are two ribs, it seems that it is not enough to use for stew. If there are three ribs, there is a lot of meat in the back, and it will weigh seven or eight catties if it is cut off.After struggling for a while, the butcher finally couldn't stand it anymore and told him that he could chop one more rib and cut less meat.

There are not many people who like to eat ribs these days. Rural people like oily and watery ones, and ribs are almost always sold as a side dish.If Zhang Jin can buy one more rib, those who only want to buy meat later will have a better time.

After one cut, the total was just over six catties. Due to the end of the busy farming season, there are more people selling pigs, and the price of pork has dropped by a few cents, which is about three yuan and eight catties. It's only 22 yuan.

Zhang Jin wanted to negotiate the price, but seeing the butcher's appearance, he finally didn't open his mouth.After making money for the meat, he looked at other things on the meat stall.

"How do you sell pork liver? Are there no pig heads?"

When the boss heard that he wanted a pig's head, he raised his head and gave Zhang Jin a strange look, then looked at Zhang Junbao and Zhang Wenhao behind him, and asked, "Aren't you from Master Zhang's family?"

"..." Zhang Jin didn't speak, but just watched the other party silently.

The butcher looked at it, and suddenly laughed: "Your boy must be the second child of Zhang Laoer's family. I heard my son say that he is a high-achieving student, haha! He is a shrewd one at first glance! Is there a pig head today?" It was taken away early in the morning, and none of the three houses have it. Did you buy it for your grandfather? I know the old man likes this. If you want it, I will keep it for you in the next episode, and let your father come and get it. Pig There aren’t many livers left, so you can cook a plate of them. If they’re worthless, I’ll just give them to you. I just bought them at the time. Do you want this pork offal? I’ll charge you three yuan for this big deal.”

Since the butcher knew his grandfather, Zhang Jin knew that what he said was absolutely true.It's just that the pork head meat was not available. He could imagine his grandfather's disappointment when he found out. The adults in the family like to eat pork head meat with wine.

There is no way to finally spend three yuan to buy the pigs.This thing is ready, and grandpa likes it too.

After buying meat, I turned around and hurried to buy fish.What I didn't expect was that the fish was also selling fast today, and the fishmongers were already collecting their stalls, and many people were regretting that they didn't buy it.

There was another squatting beside him holding a basin. It is said that he caught it by himself, but he saw a carp weighing at least five or six catties and a black fish weighing four or five catties in the basin.Many people turned around and left.There is no way that the fish is too big, even if it is half the price than meat, it is better to buy a few catties of meat after buying that head.

And because it was caught, the fish was already half dead.If you want to bring this back, you will definitely die and can't die again.

The Zhang Jin brothers stood over there and struggled. According to their customs, if there were guests at home, if there was no fish but meat on the table, not to mention the dishes, it would appear monotonous, and it would also appear that the host was stingy.

"Second, why don't we buy one and let the boss kill it, and then buy a bag of salt to pickle it?" Zhang Junbao gave an idea.

The peddler on the side also mixed in with the words: "Young man, my fish is still alive, and it is absolutely fresh when it is killed. Look, if you want both fish, can I count it as two yuan per catty for you? Not to mention that my carp is usually three yuan a catty, but my black fish will also have to buy four or five yuan during the Chinese New Year."

At any time, the prices of carp and snakehead in the market are definitely higher than silver carp and the like.The boss was the same as the fishmonger next to him before, selling carp for three yuan a catty and black fish for four yuan a catty, but he turned around and left when asked.Later, the price was reduced by two yuan and five yuan per catty, and it was probably because the price was adjusted too much and I went to buy fish from the fishmonger.

At first glance, this guy had never done business before. He originally wanted to sell the fish and then buy some meat. Seeing that the fishmongers had run out of fish, he had to lower the price.If he doesn't wait for the meat to be sold, or if the meat is sold, the meat sold will be sold out, then his work will be in vain.

"Your fish is dying and you still want two yuan a catty? The fish just now was only a dime a catty." Zhang Wenhao curled his lips.

The peddler said with a wry smile: "This fish is different from fish. That silver carp is cheap, but it is full of thorns!"

"It's as if you have no bones in this fish." Zhang Wenhao muttered.

Zhang Junbao couldn't help laughing when he heard his younger brother's words. After thinking for a while, he quickly answered, "Boss, why don't you make it cheaper? You see, your fish is dying. How about one yuan per catty? One yuan per catty Let's buy one."

The peddler shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It took me a lot of effort. If you really want to give me 18 yuan, you can take both of them."

"Twelve." Zhang Jin said.

"No way." Zhang Wenhao heard that his second brother was going to buy two fish and hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, what's so delicious about this fish? With that money, why don't we go and buy another two catties of meat. It's so big, why don't we buy it?" We can't finish a meal with one."

"Yes." Zhang Junbao also said, "Second brother, don't be stupid."

Seeing that the young man who spoke was about to be dissuaded by his younger brother, the peddler hurriedly said: "Fifteen, you can't buy it anywhere at this price. I dropped it by myself. There is no cost to get it so low. After all, I want to buy it for you." Eat some meat instead."

Zhang Jin stared at the black fish in the basin for a long time: "Twelve, I can only offer this price. If you don't sell it, we will leave." When he was speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Seeing that the three young men were about to leave, the boss looked confused again.His son doesn't like to eat this kind of fish, and originally wanted to catch more meat in exchange for more meat, but now he can exchange three catties of meat at this price.

"Boss, when we went shopping just now, there wasn't much meat left. If you wait any longer, you won't even have a pig's tail in a while."

"Okay, okay!" The boss heard that it's worth it, and quickly got up and patted his buttocks, "Here, I'll give you this price. I won't help you kill it."

"If you don't kill him, just give him a plastic bag." Zhang Jin said.Just now, the picture in his mind told him that the lake water in the space can strengthen the vitality of creatures like fish.Just put a little bit of this fish and it won't die for a while.

"That's easy." The boss said and took out a black plastic bag from his pocket, which he asked for from the fishmonger just now.Zhang Jin also paid the money and left after packing the fish.

"Second brother, why did you buy so many fish!" Seeing the boss leaving without stopping, Zhang Junbao began to regret that he didn't stop his younger brother just now.

Zhang Jin glanced at him lightly and said, "Grandfather likes to eat it. It doesn't matter if the carp is too big. It can be made into dried fish. Black fish is my grandfather's favorite, and it is usually not easy to buy." The black fish has been grown for at least six or seven years, and the method of medicinal diet is the most nourishing for the body.Moreover, this kind of fish is not easy to catch, and it depends on luck if you want to eat it.

Zhang Junbao heard that his grandfather liked it, so he stopped talking.After buying fish, the three brothers quickly bought tofu and bean sprouts. These two are old dishes for visitors from the countryside.It depends on the guests whether to eat or not, but it can be used as a dish.

Feeling that the purchase was almost done, the three brothers went to find Dad Zhang.Zhang's mother and Zhang Xiaomei were left on the street waiting to be quilted.For this reason, Zhang's father also deliberately spent a few dollars to buy bread and biscuits for his wife and daughter.

However, it was impossible to continue to drive back from the street. Father Zhang went out to look around and chose the small road in the village behind Yulin Street. In this way, he didn't even meet a hitchhiker in the end.

It's just that when he heard that his son actually bought fish worth more than ten yuan, Zhang's father still looked crazy and kicked Zhang Junbao a few times.Although the second child decided to buy the fish, but the second child's expression of "If you dare to hit me, I will cry for you" made him really unable to do it!Besides, as an elder brother, if you don't care about your younger brother, can you still be justified?

Zhang Junbao thought he was thick-skinned, but he didn't take his father's few joking lessons seriously, and passed away with a smile.The father and son drove the tractor back 'da da da', because they rushed out directly from the back of Yulin Street, and only met two or three acquaintances on the return journey, which was as crowded as when they came. It was worlds apart.

Walking tractors are also called 'old mother's cars' here, which means that they are very slow, walking like an old lady.So when the tractor came to a certain narrow road and a jeep followed, although Zhang's father wanted him to pass first, the road was too narrow, and the speed couldn't be increased at all!

So, a very handsome jeep can only follow behind an 'old mother's car' at a slow speed.

The jeep slowed down, just giving the people in the car a chance to appreciate it.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a group of monkeys are admiring and watching a human being.

The two men in the car who were about the same age as Zhang's father said enviously: "This car is good, it feels like the ones driven by the soldiers on TV."

"It's called a jeep." Zhang Wenhao said with a face of "you bumpkin, you don't know much", "it's driven by soldiers."

"Then who is driving? Could it be an official?" A villager said, "But I saw officials from the county before, and they all drove Santana."

"What is Santana?" Zhang Junbao said, "This car is much better than Santana. I heard that it can climb mountains and ford water, but Santana can go our way? Maybe it broke down before going down Wutong Slope."

The two grown men looked at the road under the tractor and suddenly laughed.No, the road on their side is really full of twists and turns!

A carful of people were watching the jeep behind the tractor, but Zhang Jin didn't speak, especially when she saw the license plate number, she still looked like she wanted to hide.

However, because the jeep deliberately followed from a distance, he couldn't see the person sitting in the driver's seat, but the shock and panic in his heart had grown.Constantly guessing: "Why did this car come here? Who is the person sitting in it? Dongfang Yao..."

After finally walking to a wider road, Zhang's father quickly gave way to the side, and stopped on purpose for this, so that the jeep could pass safely, but the car actually stopped next to them afterwards.

How is this going?The people on the tractor were inexplicable. Could it be that they didn't give way to the car just now, and they came to find something for them?

The driver's seat of the jeep was opened, and a man in his 30s and [-]s stepped out. The man had a cropped cut and looked very energetic.

"Hello, fellow." The man took out a pack of delicate-looking cigarettes from his pocket while speaking, and handed one to Father Zhang, "Can I ask you for directions?"

Zhang's father usually doesn't like to smoke, but when he encounters a good cigarette, he will take it and enjoy it.

Right now, I just saw Dad Zhang accept the cigarette given by the other party with an honest and honest face, and also verified the brand of the cigarette in front of his face.After confirming that it was a cigarette worth 50 yuan in the world, his expression immediately became very serious.

"You said."

The man smiled: "I just want to know how to get to Woniu Village?"

Before Zhang's father could answer, a man in his forties jumped out of the driveway: "We are all from Woniu Village."

"Oh!" The man looked joyful, and quickly took out another cigarette and handed it out. It was obvious that he was very good at coming.This time he spoke, the man even took care of the three Zhang Jin brothers in the car.

It's just a pity that Zhang's father is here, even if Zhang Junbao wants to take it, he has to weigh it.

It was because Zhang Jin saw the person in the passenger seat when the person got out of the car and opened the door just now, and his expression was wrong for a long time.Although the other party clearly smiled at him.

"Oh, this is also a kind of fate." The man smiled heartily, "We are here to seek medical treatment, and everyone must know where the home of Divine Doctor Zhang is?"

"Oh, then you have found the right person." Another man in the car said.

"How?" The man looked curious.

The person who spoke first pointed to Father Zhang and said, "This is Doctor Zhang's son-in-law, and these three are Doctor Zhang's grandsons." Finally, he pulled Zhang Jin and said, "This is our little Doctor Zhang."

Zhang Jin didn't know why, although someone had introduced him like this before, but today he felt his face was very hot.

"Ah!" The man didn't seem to believe it very much. He said hesitantly after going back and forth between Dad Zhang and the three brothers Zhang Jin many times, "Isn't this too coincidental?"

"Isn't it just a coincidence?" The man said and patted the vegetables on the car, "Did you call the miracle doctor before you came? Look, this is the dish that the miracle doctor asked to buy."

Well!The man doesn't know what to say?Because he had never seen Miracle Doctor Zhang before, he really didn't know him, and now he was suddenly asking for directions on the road and heard that he had met Miracle Doctor Zhang's son-in-law and grandson. How could he believe this?

While the man was hesitating, the back door of the jeep and the person in the passenger seat opened at the same time and got out of the car.

The first thing that appeared in front of everyone was a man in his thirties, dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, who looked very dignified and upright. In the words of rural people, he looked like an official.

"Hello, everyone!" The man said first with a smile, "Sorry, I didn't come down to say hello just now."

"Uh! It's okay, it's okay." The grown man who was talking like running a train with his mouth full just now stuttered a little nervously.

"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Fang. I am over 30 years old. I may be younger than you. If you don't mind, I will call you big brother."

"Uh, I don't mind, I don't mind." Such a man of style lowered his status and called him big brother, which flattered several grown men who had never seen the world.Someone who was smarter turned around and grabbed Zhang Jin and said, "Second brother, look, why don't you go back with this boss first, so you can see a doctor sooner rather than later."
