Lu Zhixia knew at first glance that the woman was the mother of the man who had just committed the crime, because the two looked very similar.
A pair of squinty eyes like a mouse, and a greedy expression on his face!
"Who arrested my son Hu Zi? I'll fight you to the death!"
The old woman, her voice trembling with tears, shouted at the crowd that she had just received news that her son had been arrested for causing trouble.
In the previous incidents, the son had always won and benefited from the situation.
Old Yu spat on the ground and then said,
"What bad luck! One young one left, and another old one came. It's never going to end!" He turned to a few people beside him and said.
"Go and hold that old lady down, then take her to the police station together!"
"Yes, sir, we'll get right away!"
The men immediately did as instructed and rushed over to pin the old woman down.
Someone took a glove out of their pocket and shoved it into the old woman's mouth.
They dragged her away despite her struggles.
From the moment they appeared until the moment they disappeared, it was less than two minutes.
Lu Zhixia reassessed the old man in her mind; not only was his son no ordinary person, but he was no ordinary person either.
Old Yu walked over with a smile, "I was just going to stand up to that kid, but I won't do that anymore. If he causes trouble again, he'll end up like them!"
Lu Zhixia said, "You did the right thing. Let others do things."
Old Yu leaned closer and said, "If you want pork in the future, you can tell me in advance. I have connections, so you don't have to queue up to buy meat."
Lu Zhixia was delighted to hear this news; she was determined to take advantage of the situation, so she spoke to the old man...
"It's hard for me to refuse your request. I'll cook something delicious and bring it to you."
"Sure! I don't have any other hobbies, I just love drinking and eating meat. By the way, do you know how to make braised pork ribs?"
Yes!
"Then you wait."
Old Yu turned around and went back, picked out a few meaty bones from the meat stall, wrapped them in newspaper, and returned home in a very dignified manner.
"Take this bone back and make it into braised pork ribs for me. Send me two tomorrow, the fattier ones. You can eat the rest!"
"I'm so sorry." Lu Zhixia felt that the old man was too generous; those big bones must have weighed at least four or five pounds.
If you were to buy it with money, it would cost at least two yuan.
"You silly girl, just take it. Once you've finished cooking, bring it to me."
Old Man Yu adopted a tough attitude, as if to say, "Don't do anything that will let me down."
Lu Zhixia could only put the bones away, thinking that she would be selling steamed buns later.
"Uncle, do you like steamed buns?"
"I love to eat, I love anything that's meat."
"I'll be selling steamed buns then."
"You're buying meat to sell steamed buns?"
"Yes, we sell steamed buns and tea eggs."
"Alright, then come over at noon and bring me some steamed buns. I'll have someone buy them all for you!" Old Yu said generously. "Just because you risked your life to save me today, they have to give you face!"
"No need, I just came to bring you a few steamed buns, please don't make things difficult for them!"
Lu Zhixia knew that making money was not easy these days, and that forcing people to buy or sell was not a good idea.
"Don't worry, they won't!" Old Yu said confidently. "They have money on hand. It's just to buy a few steamed buns. It's not like they're asking them to kill or commit arson!"
Lu Zhixia thought to herself that she was a working person and could easily afford to spend a few cents to buy steamed buns, so she stopped worrying about it.
"Then I'll head back now and come find you at noon!"
"Alright, you two be careful on the road!" Old Yu waved to them.
Lu Zhixia and Su Lan carried the meat to the egg market and saw several people queuing up.
However, compared to other queues, this one is easier to join!
"How many eggs do you plan to buy?" Su Lan asked.
Lu Zhixia wanted to test the waters by boiling 20 tea eggs first, so she said,
"I want to buy five jin (2.5 kg)."
"It's good that it's not much. I thought you were going to buy 10 jin (5 catties). It's hot now, so don't buy too many eggs as they won't keep."
"I know."
What else do you want to buy later?
"Go buy some more tea and various seasonings, Sister Lan, do you want to buy anything?"
"I'm also buying seasonings, so I'll buy them while I'm at it. I'll also buy some eggs later, so I can make a soup if we don't have any vegetables at home."
The two chatted and laughed, and soon it was their turn.
Lu Zhixia took out the egg coupon and handed it to the waiter, "I want to buy five catties of eggs!"
The waiter said in a formulaic way, "Each person can only buy three jin."
I thought to myself, these people are really lucky today. They just happened to be there when the eggs were being delivered. Normally, you can't buy eggs with just a coupon!
Su Lan quickly said, "We're together, the two of us can buy 6 jin of eggs!"
The waiter thought for a moment and realized it seemed reasonable, so he took their egg tickets.
"Pay at the counter over there."
Lu Zhixia decisively went over to pay, and when she came back, she saw the waiter put 5 trays of eggs on the counter.
"Aren't you going to shine a light on it?"
"You can see how many people are queuing up. How can I possibly keep an eye on them all? These eggs were delivered a few days ago, they won't spoil," the waiter said coldly.
Just then, a man in work clothes squeezed in and said to the waiter, "Please take good care of this girl; she's a relative of the director."
Upon hearing that they were relatives of the director, the waitress immediately smiled and said to the two of them,
"Take a picture of every single one, and I guarantee that all the eggs you buy will be good ones."
Then they put the eggs under the light, one after another, and the waiter came over to help arrange the eggs.
