Chapter 291 Killing Liu Jinfeng
Liu Jinfeng was also a smart person. She could hear Chu Yue's sarcasm and a look of embarrassment flashed across her face. But thinking about why she came here, she had to put on a smile again.
"Big sister, are you blaming me for not standing up to help you? You're not right. Those hooligans were tall and fierce, and they looked tough. Look at me, I have skinny arms and legs like you. If I stood up, I would only get beaten. I'm not as strong as you."
When Liu Jinfeng spoke, she deliberately raised her hand, looking very weak.
In fact, her arms were as thick as table legs, more than a circle bigger than Chu Yue's arms. She had the nerve to say that she had thin arms and legs. She was so shameless.
Chu Yue glanced at her sideways and responded lightly, "Really?"
She picked up the feather duster on the counter. It was the same feather duster she used to beat up the gangster in the morning. The wooden handle was very strong and didn't break at all, only a few feathers fell off.
Chu Yue was holding a feather duster, fiddling with it here and there, looking very busy, but she actually had some hidden meaning.
Liu Jinfeng looked at the feather duster and immediately remembered Chu Yue's vigorous look in the morning when she was holding the feather duster. Her heart suddenly started beating violently, it was so scary.
Fortunately, although she and Chu Yue had conflicts, they did not really break up and were still polite to each other on the surface. Otherwise, if Chu Yue really got angry and hit her with a feather duster, she really wouldn't be able to beat him.
She is obviously a young girl, but she has the military commander and Young Master Pei as her backers. No wonder she is so cruel when she beats people.
Liu Jinfeng secretly struggled for a moment, but still didn't leave. She continued to smile at the wrinkled face, "Big sister, your chickens are selling well today. I see there are two left outside the door, I want to buy one."
Chu Yue now understood that the man had gone through so much trouble just to buy a chicken.
Chu Yue put down the feather duster and said, "There are two left. Aunt Liu, you can pick whatever you want. Chicken is one yuan per pound."
"One dollar?" Liu Jinfeng's hand, which was about to take out the money happily, paused, her eyes widened and she shouted, "Why is it only one dollar? I clearly heard it was 80 cents a pound this morning. These are all leftovers, why are they getting more and more expensive? Big sister, are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
"Aunt Liu, you're a customer as soon as you walk in. How could I deliberately make things difficult for you? Didn't you see the big sign at the door of our store a while ago? 'Reserve, 20% off! Pork costs one dollar a pound, so with the 20% discount, it's 80 cents. If you reserve in advance, it's 80 cents, and if you don't reserve, it's one dollar. I don't see your name on the reservation form?"
"Um... I didn't make a reservation..." Liu Jinfeng smiled awkwardly, her face full of wrinkles.
A chicken weighs at least seven or eight kilograms. The difference between one yuan and eighty cents is two cents, which means a difference of one to two yuan for a chicken. You must save every penny you can.
To get the 20% discount on chicken, Liu Jinfeng continued to try to curry favor with Chu Yue. "Big sister, we're both doing business on the same street, so we're neighbors. As they say, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. For the sake of our friendship, just give me the 20% discount and I'll pay you right away."
"That won't do." Chu Yue flatly refused. "Business rules are rules, and affection is affection. They can't be confused. Besides, Aunt Liu, do you think there is any affection between us?"
Chu Yue still holds a grudge against him for the shirt incident.
After the conversation, Liu Jinfeng's expression became more and more ugly, the smile on her face became stiff and distorted, and she even wanted to quarrel with Chu Yue.
At this moment, a customer came in. He was a man in his forties, wearing a white apron and with a worldly air. He was obviously a chef.
As soon as he walked in, he asked, "I heard you sell live chickens in your store?"
"Yes, genuine free-range chickens." Chu Yue went out to greet them. "Master, look, there are only two left. They're both here. They're one yuan per pound. Do you want to pick one?"
The man took a few looks, then expertly grasped the chicken feet to see their color. He said, "No need to choose. I'll take both."
Chu Yue said, "Okay, let's weigh it now."
When Liu Jinfeng saw this, she became anxious. "Hey, hey, hey, why is this happening? I was here first, and this one is mine."
She rushed over, without distinguishing between good and bad, and grabbed a chicken, holding it tightly in her hand.
Chu Yue deliberately asked, "One yuan per pound, you want one too?"
Liu Jinfeng gritted her teeth and said, "One piece, one piece. I want it!"
She had to cook some decent dishes for a distinguished guest coming to her house. Now she couldn't buy any chicken at the supply and marketing cooperative, so she could only buy Chu Yue's chicken.
Chu Yue didn't bother Liu Jinfeng anymore, but said to the man, "Master, you two can each have one, is that okay?"
"Forget it, just one. My shop is still waiting for chicken. Please settle the bill quickly."
"Okay, wait a moment."
A few minutes later, the man and Liu Jinfeng walked out of the grocery store, each holding a chicken.
Chu Yue had the money in her hand. She was quite happy to have made a fortune from Liu Jinfeng today.
That afternoon, Ye Zhaodi was tired from her menstrual period and fell asleep while telling a story. Lu Yuanbao came out and quietly reminded Chu Yue, "Sister Zhaodi is asleep."
Chu Yue went in and took a look. She saw Ye Zhaodi sleeping soundly. She reached out and touched the hot water bottle on her belly and found it was also warm. She covered her with a blanket and then took Lu Yuanbao and Pei Tianci to the front to play.
The two children drew squares outside the shop. Lu Yuanbao taught Pei Tianci how to play hopscotch. Occasionally, when Chu Yue was too busy, she could still greet customers in a proper manner.
During this period, a woman caught Chu Yue's attention.
"Yuqin, here, here - this is the store. I heard that the things sold here are cheap and good, better than the supply and marketing cooperatives! I have wanted to come and see it for a long time. Let's go in." Three or four women came to the door of the store at once. They were all in their thirties. They all turned around and looked, waiting for a woman named Yuqin.
Ding Yuqin was walking at the back, arriving late. She glanced at the shop sign and said with disdain, "It's just a grocery store, not a department store in the city. What's so great about it?"
Having said that, she still walked into the store.
The woman with eyes on top of her head didn't notice Pei Tianci standing on the side of the road at all, and bumped into Pei Tianci as she walked by.
"Tianci, be careful!"
Lu Yuanbao quickly supported Pei Tianci to prevent him from falling.
Ding Yuqin knew she had bumped into someone, but she didn't even look down, let alone say sorry. Instead, she mocked him, "Where did you come from, kid? Why are you standing in front of the store? If you get my clothes dirty, you won't be able to pay for it."
She spoke harshly, and her sharp fingers almost poked Pei Tianci's forehead.
