Chapter 39: Picking up the seafood durian is so beautiful, and encountering the best neighbor

The smell at the seafood station was not pleasant, but the variety of seafood was less than Lu Chiyu had expected.

It mainly contains various kinds of sea fish, followed by various large shrimps and large crabs.

There are no small seafood such as sea urchins, conchs, jellyfish, small crabs, razor clams, oysters, and scallops.

When asked, we found out that these things have little meat, and some are just shells. No one likes to eat them, and they are used to make fertilizer for pigs on the island.

Lu Chiyu: ...a gift from heaven!

Perhaps the regretful expression on Lu Chiyu's face was too obvious. The staff member glanced at Gu Yuan, who was standing behind her and had a high military rank, and told her that if she wanted these small sea creatures, she could go to the backyard to have a look.

There was a big vat of these freshly picked scraps.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chiyu was overjoyed and immediately went to the backyard to see. Sure enough, there was a tank full of various small sea creatures.

Lu Chiyu was very surprised and immediately asked how these things were sold.

Who knew that the staff waved their hands and said that they would give it away for free. If she hadn't asked them to, they would have sent it to the fertile land of the production team below.

Lu Chiyu was very happy, and in the end she picked a full basket of seafood.

Finally, she went to the front and bought several large sea fish, seven or eight pounds of shrimp, and more than a dozen huge crabs.

These "real" seafood require payment, but the prices are cheaper than pork. None of them costs more than 80 cents, and no tickets are required.

She bought a whole bunch for only nine dollars and eighty cents, without even needing a single Big Unity ticket.

Lu Chiyu could already foresee her wonderful future days of seafood freedom. It turned out that she had come to the right island!

The smile on Lu Chiyu's face disappeared after they left the seafood station. Seeing her so happy just by picking up a basket of seafood scraps, Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

It seems that the little girl likes the products of this island more than he expected!

Next, Gu Yuan took Lu Chiyu to the supply and marketing cooperative next door and bought seven pounds of pork belly, two large pig's feet, and a rack of ribs.

These are much more expensive than seafood. Gu Yuan was able to buy so many only because he made arrangements in advance. It cost him a full thirteen yuan, including the ticket of course.

After buying the pork, Gu Yuan took Lu Chiyu to buy some vegetables and fruits for the guests.

The fruit and vegetable area is also on the first floor. When Lu Chiyu approached, he was dazzled by the dazzling array of tropical fruits.

The first fruit she saw was the durian that she had been longing for for a long time!

She had eaten a lot of durian in her previous life, but she still liked it very much, especially the feeling of opening a durian.

There is a kind of joy in discovering unknown treasures.

Lu Chiyu went up to the salesperson without saying a word and asked how much the durian was, but got a strange look from the salesperson.

Seeing Gu Yuan in military uniform behind Lu Chiyu, the salesperson thought for a moment and asked, "Comrade, you look unfamiliar and you look so fair. Are you a military wife who just came to our island?"

Lu Chiyu nodded: "Yes, what happened after just a few days here?"

The salesperson showed an expression of astonishment: "No wonder, this fruit is called durian, it...it tastes a bit strange, most people can't get used to it.

So if you haven't tried it before, I suggest you don't try it lightly or buy a small one to try first, otherwise it will be a waste of money. Once we sell something here, we can't return it. "

At this time, a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties and looked a bit slovenly came over to them and said, "Comrade, you are being too euphemistic. This rotten fruit doesn't just taste a little strange, it's clearly made of stinky shit. As soon as you open it, you can smell the stench of a toilet.

Captain Gu's family, don't buy this stuff, or my house will stink of shit. I won't be able to eat with the smell."

The other party's words were so overbearing and unpleasant that Lu Chiyu immediately frowned: "I wonder who this sister-in-law is..."

The middle-aged woman didn't respond to Lu Chiyu's words. Instead, she curled her lips at Gu Yuan behind her and said, "Captain Gu, look at how you've spoiled your wife. She never leaves the yard and doesn't even know the neighbors. Is that right?"

Gu Yuan said coldly, "Sister Feng, please don't worry about our family's affairs. You'd better go buy some groceries quickly, or they'll be gone if you're late."

Wu Juan was a little scared of Gu Yuan's cold face, but she felt it would be too embarrassing to be scared away like this, so she forced herself to remain calm:

"That's not what Captain Gu said. This durian smells so strong, how can we eat it if you guys open it at home?

Therefore you cannot buy this fruit."

Hearing Wu Juan's arrogant order, Lu Chiyu couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law Feng, right? Although our military region is on the coast, you can't be so controlling just because you live by the sea.

What's wrong with us buying durian? Did we break any law or military regulations? If not, please don't point fingers here and act annoyingly.

Besides, our two homes are more than ten or twenty meters apart, so even if there is a smell, it can't reach your house, so please leave."

"You...how can you be so rude? No wonder you're so shameless as to accept 500 yuan from Comrade He Manman. Don't you know what people in the compound say about you two, that you're unreasonable and greedy?"

"Did anyone really say that in the compound? Could it be that you, Sister Feng, and Comrade He Manman made it up?

After all, Brigadier General Qin also approved my taking the 500 yuan. I don't believe so many people in the compound would have objections to Brigadier General Qin's decision."

Wu Juan's face turned pale: "You...what nonsense are you talking about? Who has a problem with Brigade Commander Qin? We only have problems with you and your wife.

Captain Gu, you just stand here and watch your wife put hats on people and buy things without stopping her?"

"Sister-in-law Feng, everything Ah Yu said makes sense. Why should I stop him? It's you, Sister-in-law Feng, who unreasonably accuses the wives of the soldiers in the same compound as soon as you go out. I need to have a good talk with Deputy Commander Feng about this matter to see if he was the one who instructed it."

Hearing Gu Yuan's words of defending her, and even saying that he wanted to find her husband, Wu Juan was so scared that her face turned pale: "Forget it, just buy it if you want, don't think that I was struck by lightning for my kindness." After saying that, she ran away in a panic.

Lu Chiyu was pleased by her soldier brother's protective attitude towards her. Seeing the man being scared away, she snorted, "What kind of person is that? Yuanyuan, let's buy her a bunch of durians and eat one a day to piss her off to death."

"Okay." Captain Gu naturally agreed.

So Lu Chiyu picked out five big durians and asked the salesperson to put them in a sack and weigh them.

Wow, a pound of durian is only three cents, and four or five pounds of durian is only a little over ten cents, which is not even as expensive as a pound of rice. Lu Chiyu was again pleasantly surprised by the "cheap" durian.

From now on, she can really enjoy seafood and durian freely!

After buying durian, they went to the vegetable section and bought some cabbage, radishes, and potatoes.

It’s not that they don’t want to buy good vegetables, but these are all they have in the supply and marketing cooperative at this time.

At this point, the big shopping trip of Lu Chiyu and his wife came to a successful conclusion!

Seeing that the back seat of the bicycle was tied with sacks, Lu Chiyu's face suddenly frowned. How should he get back?

She was just about to ask Gu Yuan to ride back and pick her up when she heard him say, "Ayu, get in the car."

When I saw her, I was shocked to see that the soldier had tied the seat she had been sitting on to the front handle of the bicycle and actually asked her to sit there!!!
