The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 485: 485 Try Sitting in Wheelchair 2

“This is the brake, in case it doesn’t stop going downhill, just pull it down, and the wheels won’t turn anymore. That’s the biggest difference between a low-end wheelchair and a mid-range one. The low-end doesn’t have a braking function, but this mid-range one does. As for high-end ones, we can’t afford them for now. But I heard that high-end ones just have better materials and fancier designs, while their functions are the same as this mid-range one. I learned all of this before buying it, so I went ahead and bought it directly.”

“Wife, you’re so thoughtful. Having a braking function is worth the extra cost even if it’s more expensive.” Yuchuan’s glistening black eyes blinked at her again, shamelessly enticing.

After listening, Xiao Qinghe also nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yishan said, “Our yard has some uneven spots. To avoid inconvenience with the wheelchair, I’ll go get some soil and stones tomorrow to fill in those dips.”

“Thank you, second brother.” Qingyue added, “It’s also inconvenient for the wheelchair to go over doorsteps, why not remove them? For places with steps, we can use wood or stone to build a gentler slope.”

Qinghe’s heart was filled with moved and gratitude, occasionally stealing glances at his wife, a look of admiration in his eyes.

“All right. I’ll get started right away.” Just as Xiao Yishan was about to be busy, Su Qingyue said, “Second brother, let’s worry about that tomorrow. We have a more important task today.”

“All right then.” He asked, “What task?”

“You’ll know when you come to the kitchen with me.” Saying so, she walked toward the kitchen.

In the kitchen, in a large basket, Xiao Yishan saw a full basket of vegetables at first glance. Su Qingyue picked up the vegetables one by one and put them on the table. He finally realized that the vegetables were just on the surface, and it was actually a whole basket of pig offal, “Yue’er, what are you buying so many pig offals for?”

His thick black eyebrows unconsciously furrowed, “Pig offal smells bad and is hard to cook.”

“You all don’t know how to appreciate good things.” She laughed, covering her mouth, “I like those who don’t appreciate it. Otherwise, how could I buy such a big basket for one cent per jin and 100 cents in total?”

In the basket, there were also many pig bones and two jin of pork.

“These big bones have their meat cleaned off. They are useless.” Xiao Yishan picked up the two jin of pork from the basket, “Yue’er, were you duped? Not only did you buy a lot of useless stuff, but why is there one jin of fat and one jin of lean pork? They should have all cut the fat. The pork vendor swindled you. Tomorrow, the second brother will go and settle the score with him!”

They seldom had meat at home, even when the second brother was not injured, the meat of their prey itself wasn’t fatty. Occasionally, they’d buy and cook a mix of fat and lean meat.

Nobody realized she didn’t like fatty meat.

She said, “I wasn’t tricked, I wanted to buy these. I like lean meat. Second brother, pig offal, when handled and cooked correctly, is delicious. Even better than meat. As for pig bones, they are not expensive at one cent per jin. Bones can be used for bone soup, which is very nutritious, and our family needs nourishment. Plus, after using the bones for soup, the uncleaned meat can be scraped off, and a lot of meat can be scraped from a pile of pig bones.”

Xiao Yishan was amazed, “Yue’er, how did you know all this?”

Braised pork intestine is available in any modern restaurant; bone stew soup is also famous, and bone soup tastes great in a hotpot. How could she not know? She casually brushed it off, “Pig offal is so cheap, I figured it out after thinking about it.”
