Chapter 177 Girls can also read and write
Pig suet has the highest oil yield, followed by pig fat, and then fat.
Suet is also the most expensive part of the pig.
Butcher Hu didn't expect his daughter to be so generous, even taking out the pork suet in exchange for it.
He felt a little distressed.
But thinking about the food he had eaten these days, including chicken, duck, fish, eggs, and mutton and rabbit meat, the oil and water were not lacking and were even very good. He could understand that his daughter was not too keen on lard and fat meat.
The only thing I can’t understand is why I love pig sesame and pig bones more.
Either these two things will smell bad when eaten, or they will have no meat and no oil or water. Poor people who have no meat and no oil and water buy this as a toothpaste. Why would they eat this if they have meat to eat?
It would be great to exchange it for mushrooms, even if it takes a few kilograms less.
The butcher Hu was chopping ribs loudly.
Oh, by the way, my daughter said she would keep the ribs for herself.
Hu Wenhua explained enthusiastically and responsibly: "Okay, okay! However, there is not much pork suet. Calculated by household, one household can get about half a catty at most."
When the villagers heard that they could indeed exchange it, and there was still half a catty, they were so happy that they didn’t know what to do.
Half a pound is a lot.
You must know that when they went to the pork stall before, let alone buying pork suet and pig fat, they were reluctant to buy too much even fat pork.
"How does this count? How many kilograms of mushrooms count?"
"I haven't picked up enough mushrooms. Can I keep it for now and make up for it in the next few days when I pick up enough?"
After being notified yesterday, everyone at home was mobilized, and they picked up nearly ten kilograms in one day!
It can be replaced with about two or three pounds of pork.
But if I change the fat again, I guess it won’t be enough. It’s hot now and I can’t put it away. If I pick up mushrooms to replace it later, the pork will already smell bad.
Shui Qing happened to come out to see how the pigs were being cleaned up. After hearing this, he smiled and said: "Okay, it will work from now on. You also know that I still have several pigs in my house. If you want to change, just pick up the mushrooms and bring them over;
I'll register the quantity for you, and you can just replace it with pork every time you kill a pig, is that okay? "
"Sure!" the women surrounding the circle said hurriedly.
I just feel that Shui Qing is so generous.
There's no way it won't work!
This is pork, plump and oily pork.
Mushrooms are delicious and the soup is delicious, but pork is not as delicious.
Moreover, mushrooms are free and effortless. During the season, after it rains, they are everywhere in the mountains and fields, so it only takes a little time to pick them up.
Now that floods have blocked roads, what they have most is time.
What Shuiqing lacks most is manpower!
The mushrooms cost almost 200 kilograms in the mall, and even the open ones cost 167 kilograms. How much pork can one kilogram of mushrooms buy, especially the cheapest ones in the mall are lard fat and the like?
In Shanshui Village, four pounds of gallinophilia can be exchanged for one pound of fat. How could she be reluctant to part with it?
You know, there are only a few short months of the year in which gallinopsis mushrooms are found, and they are most abundant after rain. There is no shop like this after passing this village, so you have to take the time to pick mushrooms to make money!
Thinking of this, she added: "If the pork is not enough, how about eggs? Look at my chicken, I can't finish the eggs I lay every day.
Two pounds of mushrooms are exchanged for one pound of eggs. If you are willing to exchange, you can also register. "
Hu Wenhua felt that his sister's mind was spinning so fast!
Now I pick up more than a hundred eggs every day. Thirteen people in my family eat. They cook hard every day and only eat forty or fifty eggs. My mother said that there are already several baskets of eggs!
It's hot and it's not very convenient to transport the eggs without laying them out for sale, so it's good to use them in exchange for mushrooms.
Shui Qing wanted to say that now there are more than 100 chickens that can lay more than 100 eggs a day. If the mushrooms are not replaced later, her more than 100 chickens can still 'pick' more than 200 eggs every day.
After all, pork cannot be faked, but eggs can still be faked.
It’s much easier to fake eggs than pork!
"Change! Shui Qing, where can I register?"
"Just send it here every day, right?"
The women who were originally gathered around the pork table all turned to Shui Qing and asked happily.
There were floods a few days ago, and what they were most worried about, upset, and distressed about was not the crops in the fields, but the mushrooms they picked up and could not be exchanged for rice.
After all, the floods closed the roads, making it impossible to go out, let alone transport rice back.
And last year, the weather was good, and the Bai family was willing to let Shuiqing's family trade rice with them for mushrooms. This year, I don't know if there will be no harvest, and the price of food is about to rise. Who is willing to trade rice with them?
In other words, Shui Qing is a person who repays her kindness and wants to exchange her own mushrooms for the Bai family!
Let them also benefit.
Naturally, clear water welcomes all comers, and the more the better.
She pointed to the courtyard, "Go to Yan Qiu's place to register."
Xinghui and Dajiang are not careful people.
Fan He's calligraphy is too ugly, and Fan Lake is too small. Only Yan Qiu is careful and steady, and is most suitable for accounting.
Yan Qiu has already laid out pen and ink in the yard. It was originally for registering the exchange for pork, but now it is also the same for registering for exchange for eggs.
She had said hello to Zhaodi in advance. There were a lot of people coming and going in the past two days, so she stayed away from Yan Qiu's house. The last time her father Fan Qian came over to transport lime, he thought Zhaodi should lie down and recuperate, so he asked her None.
He made it clear that he was afraid of taking her back to pay for food rations and to take care of her.
But this is fine. Zhaodi is a kid who loves to learn. In two or three months, he will be able to learn a lot more words and dishes.
This is also a craft for making a living. No matter where you are in the future, you will not starve to death.
The women rushed to the yard, fearing that they would be out of stock if they were late. They thought that if they registered early, they could get pork early and exchange it for eggs later.
Shuiqing ordered Hu Wenhua to move all the pork ribs, pig intestines, pig kidneys, pig heads and coagulated pig blood into the yard. She was going to make lunch.
Hu Wenhua worked very hard. Not only did he move them in, but he also washed them without being told.
He has a keen eye!
Shuiqing: .....The power of love is really great.
Granny Xu, who was surrounding Yan Qiu, couldn't help sighing: "In the past, I only knew that boys could read and write. I didn't expect that girls could write, and write so beautifully!"
A young man joked: "Granny Xu, you can't read, so how do you know that you can write well?"
Granny Xu snorted: "I can't read, and I can't read? Look at how steady the little girl's hand is holding the pen! As steady and skilled as we hold the needle and thread.
But holding the pen is beautiful, much more beautiful than holding the needle and thread!"
The other women immediately nodded.
The villagers have a natural reverence for reading and writing, and always think that people with knowledge are powerful and know a lot!
In the past, I thought that only boys could read and write. Now that I see Yan Qiu can write with a brush, and write so well, I just realized... girls can also write?
It's different to have a scholar in the family, and the children can also read and learn to read.
Didn't Hu Shuiqing not let Daya and Erya learn to read in the past? But it may not be that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't at that time.
Otherwise, when the family was divided, Daya and Erya not only changed their names, but also let them learn to read and write.
No one is suppressing them, no wonder their life is getting more and more prosperous.
