Chapter 38: Dinner

Xu Wanning steamed another pot of rice and paired it with the spicy chicken. It really whetted her appetite and she drank two large bowls of rice in one breath.

After leaving the space after dinner, Xu Wanning was just about to ride her bicycle back to the village when she saw a familiar figure, who was in a hurry as if he was in something urgent.

Isn’t that Han Jinghuai who hasn’t appeared for several days? What are he and Zhao Erniu hanging around there?

Xu Wanning followed them quietly out of curiosity and found that they ran into a hidden alley and disappeared.

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed that there were a few men behind him who had also followed Han Jinghuai. They were burly and had scars on their faces.

You can tell at first glance that he's not a good person, and he's cursing all the time.

"Where is that kid?"

"Damn it, I actually lost him!"

"This brat surnamed Han is such a sly bastard."

"Damn it, don't let me catch him!"

Xu Wanning then remembered that Han Jinghuai should have started speculating and profiteering by now. The book said that he made his first pot of gold by speculating and profiteering on the black market.

After returning to the village in the afternoon, Xu Wanning used her mind to take a piece of pork ribs, a piece of pork belly, and two chickens from the space and put them in the backpack.

Lin Qiqi hurried over to the yard and helped her get things into the house.

"Ningning, you're back?"

"Come in and take a break. Are you exhausted today?"

"Why did you buy so many things?"

"There are so many ribs. Shall we have ribs for dinner?"

Xu Wanning took the backpack into the house and explained:

"We're inviting the team leader and his family over for dinner tonight, so I thought I'd add a meat dish. It just so happens that the town supply and marketing store has some spare ribs. There's not much meat on them, so not many people buy them, so I'll take them all."

Lin Qiqi looked at the pile of ribs, thinking about having meat to eat in the evening, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Ningning, your luck is too good, isn't it?"

"Where did these two pheasants come from?"

Lin Qiqi felt a little scared when she thought that she might go to the black market alone. What if she encountered danger?

"Ningning, you're not going to the black market, are you?"

"Ningning, this is too dangerous. Let's eat less meat in the future, and don't take risks on the black market."

"I heard from the villagers that if you get caught speculating on the black market, you'll be sentenced."

"Why don't you take me with you next time you go? I'm worried about you being alone!"

Xu Wanning knew in her heart that the black market was indeed dangerous, but she was different. She had the Peach Blossom Space to cheat. If she didn't have the space, she would never be stupid enough to go to the black market and give herself away.

"Okay, don't worry, there won't be any trouble."

"I didn't buy these two pheasants on the black market. I bought them from an aunt I know."

"Qiqi, don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I won't sacrifice myself just for a bite of meat."

Lin Qiqi turned around and went into the house to take out a bunch of meat coupons. These were given to her by her parents as compensation when she went to the countryside because they felt they had wronged her.

"Ningning, I still have some meat coupons from the countryside. You can use them. I've eaten a lot of the meat you bought me anyway. If you buy more meat in the future, we can share it with you."
