Chapter 57: Come for a Free Dinner

In fact, it’s not that Zhou Manman doesn’t want to use small bottles, it’s mainly because there are not many containers in her space!

I could only use the water bottles in the refrigerator.

And each bottle of water is 500 milliliters.

Fortunately, she had left over a lot of empty bottles when she cooked and made afternoon tea, so she recycled them at this time.

At this moment, Zhou Manman made a wish that if there could be more containers in the space, whether they were bottles and jars or bowls and dishes, she really needed them.

After all, she felt that the Gu family's set of tableware was a bit old.

Everyone thought the bottle was quite big. Although it was expensive at one dollar a bottle, it was effective and could be used for a long time!

Those who could come to the black market to shop generally had some money, so several people bought a bottle one after another.

When Zhou Manman had sold most of her things, she put the money and goods back into the space.

That’s great! I made a total of twelve yuan today, which is a lot of money in this era!

And she also had space to put things, and she didn't have to worry about being discovered by Gu Linchuan.

After selling all the things, Zhou Manman went to the supply and marketing cooperative to look around and buy things.

There were relatively few things in their room, and Zhou Manman thought they should buy some.

There is no need to use her clothes. Just take out two sets from the space and say that you bought them yourself.

The supply and marketing cooperative was not big and the things were quite complete, but Zhou Manman felt that there were not as many things as in her space.

If her space could become a physical entity in this era, she could probably make money just by lying down every day.

She bought two sets of summer clothes for Gu Linchuan, a white short-sleeved shirt, a dark blue short-sleeved shirt, and two pairs of black pants.

She took a look at the shoes and bought another pair for Gu Linchuan.

Of course, if I buy things for Gu Linchuan, I can’t not buy things for Chen Chunmei and Gu Sitian.

She bought a set of clothes for Chen Chunmei and a set of clothes for Gu Sitian

If she bought it in a regular store, she would need food coupons and cloth coupons. Fortunately, she had enough of them.

She also used everything that Gu Linchuan had given her before.

After buying things, Zhou Manman put her skin care products into the jars and told Gu Linchuan that she bought them on the black market.

When she returned home, she still carried a lot of bags, but now the villagers no longer dared to gossip in front of her.

Because the last time there was such a big fuss, Zhou Manman was able to drive people like Wu Zhaodi crazy, so other people were even more afraid to talk nonsense in front of her.

When she returned home, Zhou Manman discovered that there were a lot of bamboo shoots piled in the corner of the yard.

This surprised her: "These are..."

"Today the team leader took everyone to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, and this was sent by him," said Chen Chunmei.

Even though Gu Linchuan didn't go, Li Jianguo still brought a copy for Gu Linchuan.

Because Li Jianguo was specifically instructed by his superiors to take good care of Gu Linchuan.

Gu Linchuan is not the kind of person who does nothing. As long as there is any trouble in the village, he will rush there at the first opportunity.

Even though he has bad legs.

Zhou Manman also likes to eat bamboo shoots. Only by eating bamboo shoots in spring can she feel that spring has come.

She was planning to make some braised bamboo shoots. Coincidentally, there was some fatty meat in the space, so she could boil some lard and put the bamboo shoots in to stew.

Zhou Manman took the steak out of the space again, cut it into small pieces, and stir-fried it with green peppers.

In fact, she prefers to eat steak in its original flavor. Plus, the food in the space is the freshest and highest quality. In fact, as long as the steak is fried, it will be delicious without adding anything else.

However, she was worried that it might be tasted out and arouse Gu Linchuan's suspicion, so she had no choice but to use this method.

Add more seasonings such as soy sauce to cover up the smell, and it is actually no different from pork.

After Zhou Manman finished, she also made braised tofu and stir-fried vegetables.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Their wooden door has been modified and has a lock. When you sleep at night, you will also add a bolt.

Very safe.

But during the day, they basically just lock the door.

Gu Linchuan and Gu Sitian have the key and can come in directly.

But now, there was only knocking at the door.

Chen Chunmei went to open the door, and Zhou Manman also looked up curiously.

As a result, I saw Wang Xiaofa.

Behind Wang Xiaofa, there was Fu Cheng.

Zhou Manman: “…”

Wang Xiaofa was still holding something in his hand. When he saw Chen Chunmei, he greeted her enthusiastically: "Auntie, last time, Sister Manman saved me. My leg is almost healed now, so I came here specially to thank you."

Zhou Manman walked out, and Wang Xiaofa limped towards her: "Manman, I felt really bad that you didn't charge me for my medical expenses last time, so I went out to buy some fruit for you as a small token of my appreciation. I hope you'll accept it."

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Manman didn't be polite to him.

She looked at Wang Xiaofa for a while and said, "Is your leg better now?"

"It's a little better." Wang Xiaofa's attention was attracted by the smell coming from the kitchen.

He couldn't help swallowing.

"Manman, your cooking smells so good. Last time you brought me food, the food really attracted everyone in the educated youth center to come here. I still haven't forgotten that meal you gave me, and I think I will never forget it in my life."

Zhou Manman saw what he meant and smiled faintly: "Life is so long, how can my cooking skills compare to those chefs in the big hotels in Beijing."

"No, no, no, your food is even better than theirs, really!" Wang Xiaofa said, "It just so happens that I haven't had lunch yet. Can I stay and eat with you?"

Fu Cheng also smiled and said, "I haven't eaten either, is that okay, Sister Manman?" Zhou Manman looked at Fu Cheng's gentle and handsome appearance. He was so delicate and tender, and a little pale. He was completely incomparable to Gu Linchuan, that iron-blooded tough guy.

But this guy has more thoughts than the concubines in the palace fighting dramas.

"You can, but he can't." Zhou Manman said to Wang Xiaofa.

Wang Xiaofa was stunned. He turned to look at Fu Cheng. No way? Zhou Manman had been chasing Fu Cheng all the time, but now she is reluctant to give Fu Cheng a meal?

The smile on Fu Cheng's lips gradually became stiff and finally disappeared.

Seeing that they were silent, Zhou Manman said, "If you don't want to, then all of you can go back."

She turned and walked towards the kitchen. Wang Xiaofa looked at Fu Cheng and said to him, "Brother, I'm sorry. I'm really craving for this meal."

When he came, Fu Cheng said he would help him come over because he had difficulty walking.

Wang Xiaofa also said that it would be great if Zhou Manman could invite them to have dinner together.

But now, Zhou Manman is only willing to keep him, not Fu Cheng.

How embarrassing is that?

Before, Zhou Manman obviously liked Fu Cheng to death.

"No, Sister Manman, I'll stay. I want to eat."

Zhou Manman did it on purpose. She wanted to use this method to make Fu Cheng recognize his position.

She treats Wang Xiaofa better now than she did him.

He should stop thinking that she still cares about him.

Unexpectedly, Fu Cheng said, "Manman, my dad called me a few days ago, and your parents came to ask me how you are living here."
