"Huh? Is there nothing left to eat?"

Shen Anan looked at the almost empty counter, and her heart finally settled down.

When she came in and saw the empty pastry counter, she was a little skeptical, but she didn't expect that everything was really sold out.

Seeing Shen Anan's regretful look, Lu Yanzhou asked aloud:

"Sister-in-law, don't you have those defective ones? I want to buy some too."

He asked this on behalf of Shen Anan. He was afraid that his sister-in-law would not tell her about the defective products because Shen Anan was an outsider.

Those items don't require tickets and aren't placed on the counter.

Sun Lei shook her head: "Really not, there aren't many defective cakes here. They were basically sold out within the first two days of arrival. The new stock won't arrive at our supply and marketing cooperative until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

The goods sold in the town are all allocated from the county town and then transported to various towns. The next time new goods arrive will probably be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

"Isn't that a snack? Does it require a ticket?"

Shen Anan noticed the snack counter with sharp eyes, and there was a plate of yellow cakes in the glass window below.

She didn't care how this thing tasted, as long as her space could keep it fresh and it was edible.

Even if this pastry doesn't taste good, it still tastes better than wild vegetables and tree bark, right?

Sun Lei glanced at what Shen Anan said, stretched out her body directly from behind the counter, and whispered:

"You can't have that thing. It got moldy after being stored for a long time and then it was dried in the sun. Don't buy it."

These days nothing is thrown away easily, and few people know about aflatoxin.

So even if something is moldy, we will remove the moldy skin and continue to sell it, unless the inside is also moldy, then we will throw it away.

Of course, we are not stupid. After all, what should we do if something goes wrong after eating moldy food?

Shen Anan retracted her gaze upon hearing this, as if she hadn't asked.

Lu Yanzhou was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this pastry would be in this situation.

Sun Lei explained a few more words to the two of them:

"In recent months, our supply and marketing cooperative's food has basically sold out within two or three days of arriving. Many people come here at the right time, and some even come from the county town specifically to buy it!"

Sun Lei's words shocked Shen Anan. Is it really that difficult?

Then she won’t be able to buy anything when she goes to the county town, right?

"Is there nothing in the county town? Why are people from the county still coming here? The New Year is almost here, and no one is celebrating it anymore?"

She knew that the past few years had been difficult, but the supply and marketing cooperatives were supplied by the state, so it wouldn't be like there was nothing to eat during the New Year, right?

Sun Lei shook her head. "Of course there are some in the county, but some people can't get them and don't have time, so they come to the town to buy them. After this batch is sold out, there will be another batch. Ours arrives a day or two later than in the city. Those people are smart."

Life is difficult this year. Things like brown sugar, fruit candies, and cakes are sold out as soon as they arrive. People in the countryside who are not well-informed have little chance of seeing them, let alone buying them.

"Is that so? Then I understand. Thank you, sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, please continue with your work. We won't disturb you!"

After expressing his gratitude, he and Lu Yanzhou left the supply and marketing cooperative.

There is no place to sit and nothing to buy. There is no point in being here except for letting acquaintances watch her having fun.

The saleswoman behind the dim sum counter kept looking at them with curiosity. She guessed that as soon as she left, she would go talk to Mrs. Lu.

"Why!"

Shen Anan touched the five yuan and seventy-two cents on his body and sighed.

She has a huge sum of money but can't spend it.

Don't think the huge sum of money she mentioned is an exaggeration.

Temporary workers here only make 18 yuan a month, which is enough to support a family of three.

She already earns one-third of a temporary worker's salary, which would be over a thousand yuan in the future.

This money was earned from selling herbs when the original body was in school, as well as pocket money given by his parents. It took him several years to save it.

Oh, there are also two dollars in it that her mother gave her when she went out today. The original owner actually only saved more than three dollars.

Shen Anan found it a little funny. Who would have thought that one day her entire net worth would only be a few dollars?

Sun Lei looked at the backs of the two people and felt a little sad.

They look like a good match, it would be great if they could get together.

She really looked down on her two younger siblings at home. This well-behaved girl looked pretty good, and she actually hoped that Lu Yanzhou could marry her.

This way, she will have someone to talk to when she returns to her husband's house during the Chinese New Year.

The two of them left the supply and marketing cooperative. Shen Anan looked outside and sighed, then glanced at Lu Yanzhou again.

She wanted to go to the county town, but her blind date was still there!

Seeing Shen Anan's regretful look, Lu Yanzhou thought for a moment and asked, "How about going to the county town for a stroll?"

Since this girl wants to buy food, they can go to the county town to have a look.

When Shen Anan heard Lu Yanzhou mention the county town, she was delighted, but she looked a little embarrassed.

"Going to the county town? Isn't it too late to go there now?"

Since she couldn't buy anything in this town, of course she wanted to go to the county town. If the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town also didn't have anything, she even planned to check the black market.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yanzhou was quite considerate, and Shen Anan felt more satisfied with him.

Lu Yanzhou checked his watch and said, "It's only a little after nine o'clock now. The 10 o'clock bus to the county town will take less than an hour. Let's go shopping and come back in the afternoon."

There is a bus to the county town at 10 o'clock, and the latest bus back is at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, so there is definitely enough time.

I can go shopping in the county town and then have a meal at a state-owned restaurant, and then see if I can catch a movie in the afternoon...

Although he didn't know how to get along with his blind date, since he had already taken a fancy to this girl, he might as well be nice to her.

Shen Ananke didn't know what Lu Yanzhou was planning. At this moment, she was thinking about whether she could buy anything at the supply and marketing cooperative in the county.

Anyway, as long as the products are not moldy, she plans to buy some even if it is just white sugar to fill the space. The feeling of being hungry is too uncomfortable.

"Okay! Then let's go to the county town."

Seeing that Shen Anan agreed, Lu Yanzhou pointed to the passenger lane in front:

"Then go wait for me in the car first. I'll drop the bike off at my brother's place and come back later."

This bicycle originally belonged to his elder brother and his wife. His elder brother lent it to him for a few days when he came back.

Although their current location is closer to his sister-in-law's supply and marketing cooperative, it would be more comfortable for him to leave it with his elder brother so that he can get it when he returns.

"Okay, then go ahead." Shen Anan nodded and turned to go to the bus.

The buses in the town also stop in the town. They will wait for passengers on the roadside before the departure time and will not leave until the departure time.

Lu Yanzhou rode his bicycle quickly to the grain station.

I was thinking that if I really married this girl, should I buy her a bicycle?

At least this way she could go to town more conveniently without having to walk.
