Compared to other options, freshly baked bread tastes better.
"I feel embarrassed now that I'm eating with you every day."
"What's wrong with that? When you gave us some, didn't you think we might feel embarrassed to eat it?"
"Okay, I won't say anything more. I'm going to ride my bike out to buy eggs and meat in a bit."
"Don't buy too much, or we might not be able to sell them all."
"If we can't sell them all, then consider it a way to improve our meals."
Lu Zhixia spoke very casually, saying that she felt that steamed buns and tea eggs were a combination that anyone who loved to eat would definitely not refuse.
Su Lan said, "Do you want me to go with you? It's rare that we don't have to take care of the kids today, they've all gone to school! If we can buy some pork belly, I'll have your brother-in-law make you some braised pork to try."
"Okay! Go change your clothes, and we'll go together after I finish kneading the dough."
Su Lan looked at her clothes and realized she really needed to change. She went back inside to change, as she hadn't been out for a long time and it was time to buy some things for the house.
After coming out, I opened the cabinet, took a look, decided what I wanted to buy, and then locked the cabinet.
Then the woman next door locked her cabinet too.
They exchanged a knowing smile.
Before, things were only stolen at night, but now they're being stolen in broad daylight. That's unacceptable! Nobody gets their food for free.
They didn't have the strength of Aunt Fat, so they could only hide everything to protect themselves.
Aunt Pang went back inside to eat.
Liu Yue'e slowly stood up, ignoring everyone around her.
Why am I living such a miserable life while they can live so happily?
She was truly unwilling to accept it!
Lu Zhixia felt someone watching her and turned around. Liu Yue'e was standing there staring straight at her, her hair disheveled and blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Her face was swollen like a fathead fish; this woman is truly incorrigible.
Looks like he still needs to be taught a lesson; his eyes look like he wants to eat you alive!
Lu Zhixia coughed loudly, and Liu Yue'e hurriedly went back into the house!
She burst into laughter!
Su Lan happened to see this scene when she came out and laughed as well.
"She looks so funny!"
"Isn't that right? So ridiculously stupid they don't even realize it!"
Su Lan locked the door behind her and then followed Lu Zhixia downstairs.
This was the first time the two of them had gone out shopping.
Lu Zhixia took the insulated box off the back of the car and put it in the corner, then rode the bicycle with Su Lan on the back.
With a clear goal in mind, I went to buy meat first, as the supply and marketing cooperative was supplying pork today.
The weather is hot now, and considering that she needs to make steamed buns today and tomorrow, she decided to buy eight pounds of meat.
Season the minced meat thoroughly, adding salt to prevent spoilage.
When we arrived, wow, there were so many people queuing up, hundreds of them.
"I thought we arrived early enough, but there are so many people. I should have gotten up earlier to queue up."
Lu Zhixia regretted sleeping in; if she couldn't buy suitable meat, she wouldn't be able to make steamed buns.
Then I had an idea. First, I took the car to the parking lot and then asked the old man for the license plate.
They turned and walked towards the queue. Su Lan couldn't help but say...
"With so many people, we might not even get a turn today. Otherwise, we could make some vegetarian buns and sell them. I believe there would be plenty of people who would buy the chive and egg buns."
"I need to find someone to arrange the playlist for me."
"Um?"
“Some people queue up for others; if you give them a few cents as a bribe, they will automatically give up their spot.”
"There are people doing this business? How come I didn't know?"
"It's been there for a long time, but it's just an unspoken understanding."
They arrived at the queue area, and Lu Zhixia began looking for a target. She quickly found an old lady and immediately approached her.
"Auntie, are you selling this spot?"
"Selling! Only 50 cents!" The old lady held out her hand.
“Okay.” Lu Zhixia immediately gave the old man the money.
The old lady took the money with a happy heart; it was easy money. She turned around and walked towards the end of the line to continue waiting.
If you're lucky, you might earn another 50 cents later.
Su Lan gave Lu Zhixia a thumbs up, then looked up and saw that there were still about 20 people ahead of them. It should be another half an hour before it was their turn.
Lu Zhixia felt that the weather was really hot. As the sun rose higher and higher, they arrived at a place without tree roots to queue up. They were exposed to the sun and were being roasted.
"This weather is so hot and humid, I wish I could have an ice cream!" Su Lan said, and just then she saw the ice cream bicycle riding towards them, so she immediately grabbed Lu Zhixia's arm.
"The ice cream vendor is here! I'll treat you to ice cream!"
Upon closer inspection, Lu Zhixia realized that the ice cream vendor was the same person she had seen at the school gate yesterday.
So they waved for someone to ride over on a bicycle, and they each chose an ice cream.
"How's business today?"
"Not bad! It's just that it's hot today. Are you queuing up to buy meat?"
"Hmm, I'd like to buy some meat buns and steamed buns."
"Your steamed buns are really delicious. If I see them at your stall tomorrow, I'll definitely buy two for my wife."
"Sure! I'll sell you if I run into you!"
More and more people came to buy ice cream, and the man kept smiling as he happily collected the money.
"The sky is falling! Is there no meat left?!"
A loud voice rang out, attracting the attention of everyone present!
