Is there anyone selling ginger in Daji
There were none on the street stalls. Zhou Zhoulang saw them wandering around like headless flies, so he grabbed Zhou Wulang by the back collar, made him turn half a circle, and pointed to the door of the old doctor's house: "His house only has them." Ginger for sale."
Ginger can dispel the cold, and it can also remove the smell of mutton. Therefore, if you want to cook mutton during the Chinese New Year, many people will go to the pharmacy or the doctor's house to buy some ginger.
Goro is not young anymore, and he should be sensible.
Wu Wulang looked at the door of the old doctor's house and had a bad feeling. He and Liulang led Manbao over.
The old doctor had already opened the door, and was sitting on the rattan chair shaking to sleep. Seeing two teenagers and a child standing in front of him, he squinted his eyes, looked carefully at Wu Lang and Liu Lang, and found that they looked familiar. , but I don't quite remember the name, so I looked at Man Bao.
Well, this is an acquaintance.
The old doctor waved to Man Bao, "You look ruddy, you don't look sick, why, your mother is sick again?"
When Man Bao was younger, he was often sick every three days, and the old doctor knew her very well. Several times, he was carried to Zhou's house by Zhou's brothers in the middle of the night.
Man Bao was also very impressed with the old doctor, because every time he saw her, he either gave her an injection or gave her bitter medicine, so Man Bao was very afraid of him.
She pointed at her little finger and whispered, "I want to buy ginger."
"Oh, that's a nice thing. How much do you want?"
"One catty!"
The old doctor's forehead jumped, looked at the little thing, and asked with a smile, "What do you want so much ginger for?"
"Make soup, my third brother is going to serve in the army, and I want to make ginger soup for them."
The old doctor thought for a while and said, "It's a good idea to warm up your body from the cold, but Jiang Kegui costs sixty Wen a catty."
"Yeah, why is it more expensive than a privet?"
The old doctor froze for a moment and smiled, "You still know about privet."
He thought for a while and said, "The frequency of using Ligustrum lucidum in prescriptions is not as much as using ginger slices, and rich people like to use ginger for cooking, and they have to drink tea with ginger. This thing is rare and expensive. If you use less and use more, of course it will be expensive.”
"But ginger is easy to grow."
"Huh?" The old doctor sat up slightly and asked with a smile, "You know how to grow?"
Man Bao didn't care at all and said: "Jiang Xi's fertile and moist land, as long as one piece is buried, a large piece can be harvested."
This is indicated in the entry, and Keke also said that ginger is easy to grow. In the future, due to human migration, many species will disappear or decrease, but some species will not only not decrease, but will grow more and more , ginger belongs to the one that is easy to survive.
The old doctor was thoughtful, he got up, took out a piece of ginger and gave it to her, said: "Ginger is divided into raw ginger and dried ginger. I only have dried ginger here. Dried ginger has to be buried in the ground for three years. The smell is strong. Use moderation, what you want should be ginger, if you still want it, come again at the next big show."
He also said: "It's cold now, besides ginger, you can also cook more radishes. In fact, sliced ginger is better to eat in summer, and radish is better in winter. Instead of making ginger soup, you can cook radish soup."
The old doctor smiled at Man Bao, and blinked mischievously at her: "Carrots and meat go well together."
Man Bao swallowed, wiped the corners of her mouth, and asked in a low voice, "Aside from radishes, what else can I put?"
"It's a pity that it's winter now, and there are no other vegetables except radishes. Otherwise, you can put a la carte leaves, and it will be delicious after a soup."
Wu Lang and Liu Lang saw that their sister was drooling, and felt that the old doctor was unreliable. They came to buy ginger. How could he teach them how to make soup
And did he say soup
That was a big deal, and Zhou Wulang hurriedly dragged Man Bao to leave, fearing that the younger sister would be persuaded to do so, and they would lose money instead of making money in this business.
Wu Lang wanted to pay for that piece of ginger, the old doctor was very generous, he waved his hand and said, "It's just a small piece of ginger, you can just give me a couple of pennies."
Zhou Wulang felt that the two papers were too expensive, okay? They wanted to boil a big pot of water, and they planned to use a lot of ginger.
If the two cents are only such a piece, how much ginger is needed to boil a pot of water.
Friday Lang was a little worried.
Seeing the two younger brothers coming back with bitter faces, Zhou Zhoulang was satisfied, but the expression on Man Bao's face did not match the truth. He asked, "Did you buy ginger?"
Man Bao nodded again and again, still thinking about the white radish stewed meat soup, she drooled and asked Zhou Zhoulang, "Second brother, do white radish go well with meat?"
Zhou Yilang looked down at Yaomei, and felt that the corners of her mouth were a little bright. He nodded and said, "Yes, it matches well."
Wu Wulang immediately said from the side: "Man Bao, don't listen to the old doctor, a penny for a bowl of soup, meat and radish, it's not a loss, it's a loss of the family."
"Then sell it for two pennies."
"Two pennies don't make money." Wu Wulang is not Man Bao. He knows how much meat is, and he can probably calculate how much meat is needed for a pot of soup to have a meat flavor, so he said: "A bowl has ginger and meat. The broth with radish costs at least four or five renminbi to pay back. If you want to make money, you have to sell it for at least 6 renminbi, who is willing to spend 6 renminbi every day for a bowl of soup."
Zhou Wulang reiterated, "Two pennies don't make money."
Man Bao swallowed his saliva and said, "Let's go and see the meat first."
There are also meat sellers in Daji, but there are only two stalls, one selling mutton and the other selling pork.
Like most people, Manbao prefers to eat mutton, which is more expensive than pork.
So Man Bao subconsciously looked at the mutton first, and after asking the price, he stood aside and counted the cost with his fingers, which seemed a bit high.
Keke reminded: "Host, bones can also make soup."
Man Bao said: "Bones are also expensive."
"It's not bones with meat, I'm talking about bones without meat." Keke directed Man Bao to look at the cleanly shaved bones at the nearby pork stall.
Man Bao leaned over to look, and the stall owner smiled and asked the three of them, "Buy meat?"
Man Bao asked, "How do you sell the pork meat?"
The stall owner divided the meat into different areas, and pointed, "This pile of ten coins per catty, this pile of nine coins, and this pile of eight coins."
It is divided according to fat and thin, and the fatter the more expensive.
Man Bao seldom eats pork, so he doesn't miss it very much, pointing to the bone and asking, "What about this one?"
"Six texts."
There is meat on the bones, and there is a lot of it, but it is undeniable that the bones are also very heavy. A bone weighs more than one catty, but there is not much meat to eat, so he priced it cheaper.
The mutton next to it is much more expensive than pork.
Man Bao twirled his fingers half a circle, and asked the bone he had laid beside him, "What about this one?"
It was the bones of the meat that had been peeled clean by the stall owner. The stall owner was stunned for a moment and said, "Little lady, do you want to stew bone soup?"
