Chapter 37: Eating without wiping mouth
The answer in Chu Yue's heart was that she didn't need medicine or money, but she couldn't tell Pei Hanchuan for the time being.
She quickly agreed on a time. "I don't have the prescription with me. How about this? Seven days later, also on the weekend, at this time, let's meet in front of the state-owned hotel."
"No problem, it's a deal."
Pei Hanchuan agreed immediately. He also wanted to ask Chu Yue how much the prescription would cost and what her requirements were.
Who knew that in the blink of an eye, Chu Yue opened the car door and walked out.
"Comrade, you haven't told me your name yet—"
Bang.
The answer to Pei Hanchuan was the sound of the car door closing when Chu Yue got out.
The moment the car door closed, a cold wind whistled, as if hitting the bridge of his nose, cold and decisive.
Pei Hanchuan has been surrounded by glory since birth, so when has he ever been ignored like this by a woman?
Pei Hanchuan awkwardly reached out and touched the bridge of his nose.
Pei Tianci saw Pei Hanchuan's action, and raised his hand as well, touched Pei Hanchuan's nose bridge, and handed him something.
"Uncle, your watch."
Chu Yue didn't take the big golden watch, she didn't even look at it.
In other words, Chu Yue not only saved Pei Tianci's life, but also provided him with free medical treatment.
This time, the Pei family really owes a huge favor to someone.
…
When Chu Yue got off the car, she didn't see Chen Fengying, but behind her, there were several familiar faces.
"Look! Look! Isn't that the woman getting off the car the new Captain Lu's lover?"
"How did she get out of the car? Where's Chen Fengying? Wasn't Chen Fengying with her? Why is she gone now?"
"Stop talking! There's a man in this car! This is her first day with the army. She's completely unfamiliar with the place and doesn't know anyone. How could she get in a man's car in broad daylight?"
"Could it be that Comrade He is right? She's a seductive woman who can seduce men? And already a man has taken the bait?"
"Haha, if she hears this, be careful she'll knock you out like she did to Granny Li."
"Bah! She can do such a shameless thing, is she afraid that I will tell her?"
The sisters-in-law gathered together and talked about all kinds of things, but none of them were good. When they saw Chu Yue twisting her hips when she walked, they all described her as being coquettish.
Chu Yue didn't pay attention to the movement behind her, but looked forward for Chen Fengying's figure.
Chen Fengying came out of a small alley with her things in hand. "Sister Chu, I'm here! I just had to pee urgently, so I asked someone to borrow their toilet. Are you done?"
"Yes, everything is settled." Chu Yue nodded, "Sister Chen, let's go to the market."
Chen Fengying was also going to the market, so she immediately walked ahead to lead the way.
The so-called market means that after the policy was relaxed, small vendors were gradually allowed to operate freely. They were no longer controlled as before, forcing people to trade on the black market.
There are many kinds of goods in the market, many of which are products from farmers in nearby villages. They are affordable and you can bargain, which is very suitable for people like Chen Fengying who live on every penny.
However, after entering the market, before Chen Fengying could show off her skills, she was frightened by Chu Yue instead.
Because Chu Yue was like a different person, completely different from the style she had in the supply and marketing cooperative, she started to bargain hard!
The vendor said it was a dollar item, and she started asking for a price of thirty cents, and finally settled on forty-five cents.
Even Chen Fengying was amazed by the bloody cruelty. He was even more cruel than her!
Chen Fengying watched Chu Yue buy two pounds of smoked bacon from a vendor for one yuan and fifty cents. The general price of pork now is fifty to sixty cents per pound. Fresh pork contains water, while smoked bacon is pure meat, so it should be more expensive.
But Chu Yue had a heated argument with the vendor boss, and was actually chopped off by her.
After Chu Yue got the smoked bacon, she leaned in to smell it. It had a strong smoky smell and the smell of wood. It was indeed a good thing!
Her personal space contained all kinds of supplies, but most of them were industrial products. Handmade farm products like smoked bacon had a natural flavor and could not be replaced by industrial products.
Every household in the southwest region makes cured food. Everything can be cured, from cured meat to cured spare ribs, from cured chicken to cured duck, and even cured fish.
Preserved foods have a particularly long shelf life and are easy to preserve. You can easily hang them in the kitchen and eat them for half a year.
Chu Yue was holding a heavy bag of bacon, her eyes fixed on the sausages and cured fish next door, preparing for another big purchase.
Chen Fengying couldn't help herself and asked, "Sister Chu, you bargained so low, how can you be sure the boss will sell it to you?"
"I'm not sure." Chu Yue smiled and said as a matter of course, "Isn't the whole point of visiting the market to enjoy the joy of bargaining? If you don't try, how can you know the lowest price?"
This is completely different from the clear price tags in large supermarkets in modern society. Even the vegetable markets have uniform prices.
Chu Yue hadn't felt such happiness for a long time.
Chen Fengying was dumbfounded when she heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true!
Then, the two of them killed everyone in the market.
An hour later, Chu Yue and Chen Fengying got on the car back to the compound.
Because it was the return trip, each sister-in-law was carrying large and small bags, the carriage became more crowded, and the atmosphere became more lively than in the morning. Everyone was talking and showing off the good things they had bought.
He Meijiao was missing. After the great setback at the state-owned hotel, He Meijiao didn't want to see Chu Yue at all in the short term.
As Chu Yue got into the car, the lively conversation around them suddenly stopped.
Several sisters-in-law lowered their heads and stole glances at Chu Yue, tugging at each other with their hands and making faces, looking like they were up to no good.
Chu Yue sneered in her heart. He was gossiping about her behind her back again. This was the most troublesome thing about being in a place with many women.
Before the vehicle set off, someone else arrived late.
"Wait, wait, I haven't gotten on the bus yet! Wait for me!"
It was Wang Xiulan again, all alone.
One sister-in-law frowned and complained, "Wang Xiulan, why is it you again? You always procrastinate and waste time."
"What do you know? I ate too much, my stomach is full, and I can't walk. What's wrong with driving slower? Comrade driver, there is no one left, please start the car." Wang Xiulan squeezed into the car, touching her shiny mouth and her bulging belly, for fear that others would not notice that she had eaten pork.
"Wang Xiulan, you ate something without wiping your mouth?" The sister-in-law standing next to Wang Xiulan sniffed and smelled the stench of meat. She immediately shouted, "You ate meat?!"
As soon as this voice came out, the sisters-in-law forgot everything about Chu Yue and all their eyes turned to Wang Xiu Lan.
