Chapter 373 A smell of the sea?
After the three of them became friends, the excited Wang Hong turned around and picked up a bunch of cow bones for the two siblings as a gift for friendship. After breaking off a small piece of chocolate and eating it, he happily gave Ning Xiyue a pair of cow ears.
Wang Hong has a bad habit. When he is happy, he likes to express it by giving, giving, giving.
Seeing that he wanted to take out some beef offal, Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan hurriedly pulled him back.
They are making long-term friends, not just taking advantage of someone once.
"Brother Wang, stop giving me food. That's enough. I can cook two dishes with this pair of little sisters with cow ears. I can't finish them."
Ning Xiyue smiled gratefully.
Ning Qingyuan also said a few words.
Wang Hong then stopped his eager hands and thought that the two were pretty nice. Some of his previous friends came and wanted to take away everything, including food and gifts, so they were not polite.
He patted his chest and said to Ning Xiyue generously: "Okay, come to me when you want to buy meat in the future. If you like beef stomach, I will save some for you next time. I can save any stomach for you. The most common thing we have here is all kinds of offal."
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
Ning Xiyue broke off a piece of chocolate and put it in her mouth, feeling very happy.
One more friend means one more way. It’s worth it to exchange a piece of chocolate for a friend.
At this time, the two aunts' sons came over carrying the meat they had chosen.
When Ning Xiyue saw the meat that Wu Sanqian and Zhang Jun were carrying, she finally understood why Wang Hong asked them twice and why he thought they had chosen too little.
Compared with the meat selected by these two restaurants, the portions of meat selected by her and her second brother were indeed too delicate.
Wu Sanqian and Aunt Qiuya were seen carrying a basket of selected meat, which was filled to the brim.
Zhang Jun and Aunt Xiaohong were carrying about the same amount of meat.
After weighing, it was found that Aunt Qiuya had 30 kilograms of beef, 31 kilograms of pork, and 8 kilograms of mutton, a total of 69 kilograms.
Aunt Xiaohong's family has 20 kilograms of beef, 42 kilograms of pork, and 2 kilograms of mutton, a total of 64 kilograms of meat.
Wow, this amount is about 20 to 30 kilograms more than theirs.
Perhaps it was because Ning Xiyue and her brother looked at the meat they had chosen too passionately, Aunt Qiuya smiled and explained embarrassedly: "There are many people in my family, so we eat a lot."
Ning Xiyue smiled at Aunt Qiuya and said nothing.
The reason was none of her business.
She just looked a little surprised, and suddenly felt that she had indeed chosen the wrong number.
The price is 30% cheaper and there is no ticket required. If you buy less, it will be your loss.
Ning Qingyuan was also shocked. He had the same idea as Ning Xiyue. The two siblings looked at each other and saw the same look of disappointment.
However, Ning Xiyue and her brother were just thinking about it in their hearts. They had already paid and finished the selection. They would not choose more meat no matter what. It would only lose face and ruin the goodwill of their new friends. Others had asked them twice, and they had clearly replied twice. It would be absolutely not okay to go back on their word now.
Even now, after Wang Hong weighed the two families and collected the money, he teased them for choosing too little, but they would not show any regret, but would just smile and say that it was enough.
The brother and sister are still self-aware. Now they cannot match the friendship between the two families. No matter whether others are sincere or not, they must know when to stop, so that there will be next time for interaction.
After Wu Sanqian and Zhang Jun packed their meat into sacks, they said goodbye to Wang Hong. Wang Hong also sent them to the door of the meat processing factory, and they walked out of the meat processing factory unimpeded.
The group of six said a simple goodbye to Wang Hong and left the meat processing factory.
Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan, brother and sister, did not leave, but continued to follow Sanqian mother and son.
The main thing is to follow Sanqian.
Wu Sanqian brought back a lot of good things from his long journey. Ning Qingyuan had already made an appointment with Wu Sanqian to go home with him.
In the textile factory staff quarters, in Aunt Qiuya’s living room.
"Xiyue, Qingyuan, come, have some tea. You three can chat slowly. I'll go to the kitchen to clean up first."
"Thank you, auntie."
After Aunt Qiuya put down the tea, she left on her own accord, leaving the living room space to them.
The three of them stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point without any unnecessary prelude.
Wu Sanqian took out two large bags from a room and placed them in front of them.
Ning Xiyue smelled the scent of the sea coming from the sack and immediately looked at the sack with interest.
"This time I went to a coastal area, and most of the things I brought back were seafood and dried goods, all of which I exchanged with fellow villagers. There was a little bit of everything, mostly dried sea fish. I didn't have time to separate them, so they were all mixed together. You can take a look for yourself and choose whatever you want. You can pick whatever you want."
Wu Sanqian went over and got a clean basin and placed it in front of them. He sat on a chair and drank tea, looking very casual and relaxed. He didn't care about the two bags of seafood and let the brother and sister do whatever they wanted.
"This stuff is not worth much, it's very cheap, and I'm glad to meet you, just give me the cost when the time comes."
Ning Qingyuan looked at Ning Xiyue for her opinion, and after she agreed with a wink, he said to Wu Sanqian with a smile: "Okay, Brother Wu, we'll do as you say, and we won't be polite to you.
After Ning Qingyuan finished talking to Wu Sanqian, he stood up, and the two siblings each opened a bag and started to choose.
Ning Xiyue opened the bag of seafood in front of her and her eyes lit up. There were all kinds of dry goods in it, with a wide variety of categories.
Ning Xiyue picked out some dried kelp and seaweed. Kelp stewed with pig's trotters is delicious, and seaweed can also be used to make soup.
She saw there was another separate bag inside. When she opened it, she saw it was full of dried shrimps, especially small ones. Ning Xiyue took out a cloth bag from the bag and filled it with a handful.
Turning the page, she saw some large dried shrimps that looked a lot like shrimps. Ning Xiyue happily grabbed another handful. She could take them home and eat them with fried oil or stir-fried chili peppers.
The further Ning Xiyue turned the pages, the more surprised she was.
There are a lot of dried sea fish and dried crabs, in various varieties, especially the crabs, which come in different colors and are very beautiful.
Ning Xiyue accepted everything that came her way and picked a little of everything she saw. After all, these seafoods were not easy to buy here, so of course she had to pick more now that she had the chance, as it was a rare opportunity.
After she had almost finished selecting the bags, she turned around and watched her second brother select.
The two of them are indeed siblings. Ning Qingyuan picked out every kind of seafood in the bag, regardless of whether he recognized it or not, or whether it tasted good or not, he just chose first.
In the end, Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan each chose a large pot before the process ended.
Ning Xiyue pointed at the two basins of seafood on the table and said, "Brother Wu, we have chosen. Please weigh them for us and calculate the price."
"Okay, I'll weigh it for you."
Wu Sanqian went into the house and took out a sack and a weighing rod. He looked at the two basins of assorted seafood on the table, frowned, and said:
"These seafood products are too diverse, and it's too troublesome to weigh them separately. So, I'll give you a package price based on the weight you choose. How about 20 cents per pound for all of them together?"
Ning Qingyuan didn't say anything, but looked at his sister, and Ning Xiyue nodded.
"Can."
Two cents per pound is still very friendly to them.
According to her understanding, sometimes live sea fish are sold for more than 40 cents per pound. Although there are many other worthless things in the pot she chose, there are also quite a few dried fish. All in all, they did not lose money.
Of course Wu Sanqian would not lose money either. He bought a large bag of these goods for a few cents, and he still had seven or eight bags in his room. In total he only spent about five dollars. He just made a little less money by selling to the brother and sister than in a certain city.
But from what he learned from his mother, it was more important to make friends with these two people. Maybe they could gain more benefits in the future, so he would still make a profit if he took a step back.
After both parties agreed on the price, Wu Sanqian poured everything they selected into a sack, and two large basins filled half of the sack.
Wu Sanqian took the scale to weigh the things and placed the weight in front of the two siblings for them to see.
"It's fifteen and a half pounds in total, three dollars and ten cents, round off the deduction, and that's three dollars."
"Okay, thank you Angkor."
It was Ning Qingyuan who paid the money again. He took out a stack of dimes from his bag, counted out three dollars and handed it over.
Ning Xiyue picked up the seafood. This year's New Year's shopping was pretty good. Not only did she meet so many people, but she also bought so many things.
This is the right city to come to.
After the money and goods were settled, Ning Qingyuan and Ning Xiyue took the opportunity to say goodbye.
