Chapter 91 Buying groceries

Ying Sisi said bluntly: "The vegetables are ours. You exchanged them for eggs, so how do they become yours?" Is she being arrogant?

"I bought the vegetables, and the eggs are mine too."

"Since you insist on saying so, please go back."

Seeing Ying Sisi was not understanding, Aunt Cheng smiled and said, "I was just joking with you. I'll go home and get the eggs."

Ying Sisi said, "Okay, I'll also call Mr. Liu from the end of the street over to be a witness. This way, people who don't know the truth won't think our family is doing something shady if they see you trading eggs for cabbage."

Aunt Cheng's expression froze. "Let's change the dish. There's no need to be so serious, right?"

"It would be good for all of us to have a witness."

"Hey." Aunt Cheng left.

Ying Sisi watched him go and then turned into the house, meeting Li Junlu's eyes.

What are you looking at?

Li Junlu's eyelids drooped. "Let her exchange it for eggs. The news will spread all over the street tomorrow."

"You've been neighbors for over a decade, don't you know what kind of person she is? She's the only one who can take advantage of her, no one else can. If she agrees to trade the inflated cabbage for her eggs, she won't waste time arguing with me."

Li Junlu nodded slightly: "You are very smart, just like your mother."

Ying Sisi snorted, "Yes, she's smart enough to insist on having a child even after being abandoned by her husband. She's smart enough to leave the child to be raised by her parents despite their age. You should be very proud of yourself, a woman who disregards rumors and her own life to continue your bloodline."

Li Junlu: “.” She had to poke him in the heart, right?!

After arguing with Li Junlu, Ying Sisi left.

Wandering aimlessly along the street, I heard many people complaining about the vegetable prices in the past two days.

Some people who have relatives in the countryside are even prepared to bring their own rice, flour, grain and oil to exchange.

After some thought, she went to the nearest black market.

Just as she expected.

The market was crowded with people.

Everywhere you look are vegetable vendors.

The price of vegetables is much cheaper than in the vegetable market, and everyone who comes in leaves with a basket of vegetables.

There is also a pork stall.

The price is three cents more expensive than the market price, but the meat is pretty good.

Ying Sisi spent two yuan to buy two pounds of pork belly, continued walking forward, and returned to the end to stop in front of a shepherd's purse stall. In her impression, this vegetable is only available in spring.

It's such a cold day.

"Girl, would you like some? The pork belly is perfect with shepherd's purse for making wontons. It's 1.2 yuan a pound, freshly dug from the snow. It's really rare."

"You can use green onions and cabbage to make wontons, and they taste much better than shepherd's purse," said Ying Sisi.

This thing can be found everywhere, on roadside mounds, in fields, etc.

The villagers will only choose it when they have nothing to eat.

She cut them all to feed the pigs, and could actually sell them for 1.2 cents in the city.

Why is everything good in the city?

"One cent, one cent." The stall owner, eager to close a deal, lowered the price and complained, "I came here at noon, and after three hours of freezing cold, I still haven't sold anything. My family is counting on me to sell this to improve their lives. You look like a blessed girl, so how about you give me a good start?"

Ying Sisi suddenly felt some sympathy: "I can buy it, but if I spend ten cents on shepherd's purse, I'm afraid people will laugh at me when I go back home and tell others about it. If you sell it to me for five cents, I'll take it all." Although the shepherd's purse was a bit dark in color, it was very tender when pinched.

The taste shouldn't be bad.

There are so many, I definitely can’t finish them all by myself.

Send it to the hotel and see if Lao Zhao wants it.

If Lao Zhao wants it, she can just keep two kilograms.
