The next morning, Fang Yuan got up early and didn't stay up. She wanted to cook a meal for her family today.
As soon as Fang Yuan went downstairs, she met aunt Zhou, who was preparing to go out. When Aunt Zhou saw Fang Yuan going downstairs, she thought Fang Yuan was going to prepare for breakfast and quickly put down her vegetable basket.
"Madam, I'm just going out to buy lunch. Breakfast is in the kitchen. You wait for me to get it."
Looking at Aunt Zhou's panic to prepare, Fang Yuan reached out to stop her.
"Aunt Zhou, it's OK. I'll help myself. You wait for me. We'll go shopping together. Have you had breakfast? "
Aunt Zhou was surprised to hear Fang Yuan say so. Originally, she was afraid that Fang Yuan could not find food in the morning, which would delay her later work. Unexpectedly, she even proposed to buy vegetables with herself and cared whether she had breakfast or not.
Fang Yuan poured a glass of milk for Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou was flattered. She didn't expect that she was so busy, so approachable, and had no upper shelf.
After a simple solution, Fang Yuan and aunt Zhou set out to the vegetable market. Along the way, Fang Yuan took the initiative to talk with aunt Zhou about her usual family affairs. Aunt Zhou also shared with Fang Yuan some interesting things when she was not at home.
"Ma'am, look at me. I'm sorry to tell you something about our servants at home." When Aunt Zhou said this, she suddenly felt that it was not proper for her to tease her wife like this, but when Fang Yuan chatted with her, just like a friend, she didn't feel that she was a servant of Mohism.
"Ha ha, it's OK. I also want to know what you do when you're not at home. You can't be a master or a servant. Just get along with each other like friends. " Fang Yuan answered aunt Zhou's question with a smile. The morning sun just hit Fang Yuan's face. Her beauty and kindness seemed to be magnified, shining in aunt Zhou's eyes.
Talking and laughing, the vegetable market soon arrived. Fang Yuan walked to the stall of a vegetable seller, and she began to choose the first dish of the day potatoes.
Fang Yuan squats down to a basket of potatoes. She is picky and frowns. Aunt Zhou looks at Fang Yuan and thinks she can't pick. She just gets close to Fang Yuan and is ready to help her, but Fang Yuan has already won the lead.
"Boss, your basket of potatoes are all old potatoes? No new potatoes? And this basket of old potatoes is sprouting. "
"Girl's eyes are really sharp. Today, I only have this bag of new potatoes. I wanted to keep them myself. If you want, you can choose some." The boss knew that he met a discerner, and he didn't dare to make a mistake. He quickly took out a bag of new potatoes hidden behind him and handed them to Fang Yuan.
"Madame, why do you have to have new potatoes? There are some good potatoes in this basket Aunt Zhou was puzzled. Usually, she would choose directly from the stall. She would only choose whether it was sprouting quickly. She never looked at the old and new, and did not expect that the boss would hide the potatoes.
"Old potatoes taste better and are suitable for stewing, but today I want to stir fry shredded potatoes. It needs to be crispy, so I need to use new potatoes. You see, the Kuang potatoes are a little bit black, and there are many pockmarks on the potatoes, that is, the old potatoes and the taste of noodles, while this bag of new potatoes is light in color and less pockmarks. "
Fang Yuan picked up two potatoes and compared them to Aunt Zhou. "You see, this kind of potato is a little bit green. We always think it's OK to cut it off. In fact, this kind of potato with a little green already has toxin. Let's try not to choose this one. "
"I didn't expect a potato to be so learned. I usually only choose whether it has sprouting, whether it is smooth and has no water."
Shopping for vegetables is a daily task for Aunt Zhou. However, she never knew that there was so much knowledge in choosing dishes. She usually picked things that were not damaged on the surface and were glossy in color. She didn't expect that choosing dishes was a knowledge.
After that, Fang Yuan selected several vegetables, and while watching, she shared her experience with aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou listened carefully and looked at Fang Yuan with new eyes. She thought Fang Yuan was just idle, so she followed her to the vegetable market. However, she did not expect that her wife was a person who knew life very well.
After choosing vegetables, Fang Yuan and aunt Zhou went to the pork district. Aunt Zhou had already begun to choose carefully. However, Fang Yuan glanced at the pork on the table and looked at the stall next door. He didn't start.
"What do you think of this pork, madam?" Aunt Zhou selected a piece of pork that she thought was OK and gave it to Fang Yuan. After Fang Yuan took it over and looked at it carefully, she raised her hand and gently broke the omentum with her fingers. As a result, there was water flowing out of the pork. Aunt Zhou felt incredible, because she took it very seriously and decided that it was not water injected pork that she gave it to Fang Yuan, but it really hit her face.
After putting down the pork, Fang Yuan took aunt Zhou to a nearby stall, which also sold pork. Fang Yuan asked aunt Zhou, "what do you think is the difference between this stall and another stall?"
Aunt Zhou looked at it carefully and touched it with her hand again. "The pork in this stall is dry and there is no blood. Is it the pork that was put for a long time yesterday?"
"Fresh pork rarely exudes water or blood, and there are no spots on the surface. Moreover, if you touch your hand, it won't stick to your hand, and it's very elastic. The color of the pork is light red or bright red. The color of the pork in the stall just now is light, and it's water filled pork. Next time, you can use the method I just used to test whether it's water filled pork. "Listening to Fang Yuan's careful analysis, aunt Zhou doubted whether she was his wife in front of her. In her heart, she always thought that her wife was a person who didn't touch Yang Chunshui. She didn't expect to know so much, and she didn't say it, but did it.
"I didn't find that you are so powerful, madam. Do you even know this?"
"I used to be a maid. It's no surprise that I can do this. I can do it well as long as I work hard and carefully." Fang Yuan responds to Aunt Zhou with a light tone. She is the kind of person who decides to do the best thing.
Aunt Zhou looked at Fang Yuan's expression. Although she still had many questions in her heart, she didn't ask any more.
Fang Yuan doesn't want to talk about her past with others. It's not humiliating, but it's unnecessary to explain everything to everyone.
Fang Yuan saw that the meat sold in this stall was still fresh, so he sold more ribs and handed one to the boss to weigh.
"That's 105 yuan."
"Boss, this is the only one you have left in this section of spareribs. It's almost noon and no one has bought it. Even if I'm one, a total of 100?"
"I'm here to weigh my weight."
"You took the ribs last night. You can see for yourself that the surrounding meat will be spotted if you don't deal with it any more. Now there is no one in the market."
The boss's heart was shaken by Fangyuan's plausibility. It's true that after the ribs are sold, he will close the stall. He glanced around, and there is no one to buy vegetables near noon.
"Boss, I'll take the rest of your pigskin, too?" Fang Yuan looked at the small piece of pigskin left on the table and calculated that it was already the late market of the vegetable market. Many things were stranded and it would be difficult to sell tomorrow.
The boss looked at Fang Yuan's careful calculation and knew that she was a frequent vegetable buyer. What's more, he wanted to close the stall and go back early, so he gave Fang Yuan a hundred yuan price and a small piece of pig skin.
