Fan Mudong was also speechless, but then he thought that since the other party didn't know him, and since neither of them accepted the other party's kindness, it seemed reasonable for the other party to leave.
It's one thing to make sense, but it's quite another to find it hard to accept that the other person has left.
"What? Wenwen, are you alright?"
Jian Xingwen did feel some pain, but it wasn't unbearable.
He shook his head: "I'm fine."
"Then wait here for a while. The farm machinery factory is just ahead. I'll go and call the gatekeeper to bring a cart to take you to the clinic. Just bear with it."
...
Meanwhile, Gu Yunyang didn't take the matter to heart at all.
They were just strangers who met by chance, and they might never cross paths again in the future.
He arrived at the meat processing plant soon after.
The door was still open, but there were only a few pieces of meat left on the cutting board.
Or rather, besides a few pieces of pork ribs and a pile of bone marrow, there were also some offal such as liver, lungs, and large intestines.
There wasn't a single piece of lean meat left.
Not to mention, at this time people especially love pork belly.
Gu Yunyang wasn't disappointed. He was just making a show of coming here; he would take some back from the base's storage space when he returned.
"Brother, how much are these bone marrow bones?"
Anyway, I'll buy something so I can get it out later.
The butcher was a man in his forties with a receding hairline.
With his body covered in fat, it seems this butcher certainly doesn't lack meat to eat.
Gu Yunyang had heard in his previous life that meat processing plants would cut off a small piece of meat from each piece and hide it.
Then I can take a big piece of meat back and eat it myself.
Of course, this shouldn't be done too often, nor should too many pieces be cut at once.
If someone finds out, it will be difficult to explain.
Fortunately, he didn't dare to secretly cut meat from the meat sold to customers. If he were discovered, people wouldn't care whether he worked at a meat processing plant or not.
Hearing Gu Yunyang address him, the uncle was quite happy: "Why call me 'brother'? You should call me 'uncle' now. These pork bones? There's not much meat on them. If you want to buy ribs, I have three pounds left, 55 cents a pound. These pork bones are all yours."
Gu Yunyang glanced at the bone marrow and saw that it had indeed been completely shaved off, leaving only the bone.
In later generations, it can be used to make broth.
In his previous life, Gu Yunyang had drunk this kind of bone marrow from pork bones in Guangzhou. It was sold as a main dish, and it tasted good, but the price was naturally not cheap.
However, at this time, unless there is a pregnant woman in the family who needs to produce breast milk, people generally will not want it.
The ribs were also different from those of later generations; people at that time did not like to eat ribs at all.
If we were to rank them, people at this time would most like the three-layered, five-flowered dish.
Then comes the foreleg, the hind leg, and the lean meat.
"Fifty-five cents, that's a bit expensive. Brother, how about you get me a string of pork intestines too?"
Gu Yunyang smiled and was very polite. The uncle thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, then I'll weigh it for you. Actually, I don't need to weigh it. I already know. There are three jin of ribs here. You give me one dollar and sixty-five cents, plus three jin of meat coupons. By the way, look, it's tall, three jin and two liang."
The uncle quickly weighed it, showed it to Gu Yunyang, and then brought over a string of large intestines, which should weigh about two pounds.
People at this age don't like to eat offal because many don't know how to cook it.
The uncle gathered all these things together, took a few straws, and tied them up separately: "Here, I'm afraid this bag won't fit. Didn't you bring a basket or a carrying basket? These bones are hard to put in."
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "It's alright. I originally wanted to buy a pound of pork belly. We had guests over, but we didn't have any meat, so I thought I'd buy some pork bones to make soup. It's okay, I have some strips of cloth from old clothes. I can tie them up and take them home."
He reached into his shoulder bag to conceal his actions, then pulled out a large strip of cloth from the base's storage space. He deftly tied the pork bones together, handed over the money and meat coupons, and took the ribs and large intestines before turning away.
"Big brother, isn't this fine?"
"Okay, slow down. What do you want? All that's left is to go into the water."
Gu Yunyang said something to the uncle, turned around, and saw someone coming over.
His steps, though seemingly unhurried, gave off a strange feeling, as if they were actually quite hurried.
"What are you doing? Are you in a hurry to buy meat?"
Gu Yunyang felt something was off, but didn't think much of it.
