Xu Xiangdong had been waiting at the supply and marketing cooperative early, but Chen Yanran hadn't come for a long time. He became a little anxious and planned to go back.

"Xu Xiangdong." Chen Yanran shouted towards his back, then stood there gasping for breath.

Xu Xiangdong heard the voice and turned his head in surprise. Seeing Chen Yanran coming over, he was filled with joy: "Yanran, you are finally here. I thought you were leaving.

I just saw that the supply and marketing cooperative had received a new batch of fabrics, among which was a kind of fabric called "Dacron", which is what people in big cities wear now.

I'll take you shopping and buy some fabric to make you some clothes."

When Chen Yanran heard the word "Dacron" fabric, her eyes lit up instantly.

She remembered that Xu Ying seemed to have a piece of clothing made of this kind of fabric, which was imported.

Ordinary cotton cloth only costs a few cents, while Dacron does cost several dollars. But that can't stop people's love for pursuing new things. As soon as people hear about Dacron cloth, they are very enthusiastic about it.

Clothes made of this fabric have better texture than those made of other fabrics. Wearing them makes people feel superior and creates a feeling of superiority.

Chen Yanran was no exception. She had always longed to have such a set of clothes.

"Then let's go and take a look." Chen Yanran didn't care about Xu Xiangdong, the rough guy, and ran into the supply and marketing cooperative with a smile on her face.

Xu Xiangdong followed behind her, and seeing Chen Yanran smiling, he felt happy too.

His mother was wrong. As long as he treated Chen Yanran sincerely, she would definitely be willing to marry him.

When Chen Yanran entered the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw that the fabric area was full of people, all trying to squeeze in: "Give me one or two meters of floral fabric, I want to take it back to make a skirt."

The older generation of fabrics are all single dark colors, such as blue, dark blue, and military green, etc. Dacron fabrics are different. They not only have many colors, but also many patterns.

Every time this kind of fabric arrives, it will be snapped up by everyone.

Chen Yanran was standing outside the crowd, extremely anxious. At this rate, by the time she squeezed in, all the fabric would be sold out.

Xu Xiangdong saw her anxiety, and as a grown man, he rushed towards the group of women without caring about anything.

After waiting for a while, Xu Xiangdong ran out with a light blue Dacron fabric and handed it to Chen Yanran like a treasure: "Yanran, take a look at this material and see if you like it. You can make a skirt with it.

You'll look great in a skirt!"

Xu Xiangdong had just squeezed through the crowd and was covered in sweat, with his hair and clothes in a mess.

Chen Yanran looked at him like this, frowning and looking very disgusted.

But looking at the cloth in his hand, she suppressed her unhappiness and put on a grateful smile: "Thank you Xiangdong, how much are these cloths? I'll give them to you."

Xu Xiangdong was reluctant to take her money, and quickly shook his head: "It's okay, Yanran, these fabrics are given to you for free."

When Chen Yanran heard this, a blush appeared on her face, and she said with embarrassment: "How can I take your things for free? This is so bad."

A blush appeared on Xu Xiangdong's honest face: "It's okay, just take it."

The moment he lowered his head, a trace of disgust flashed in Chen Yanran's eyes, and she put away the cloth with peace of mind.

Xu Xiangdong thought that she took his things which meant she accepted his feelings, and he suddenly became even more nervous.

Looking at Chen Yanran, he stuttered and asked, "Yanran, when are you free to come to my house for dinner?"

Chen Yanran frowned when she thought of Xu Xiangdong's mother: "Your mother doesn't like me, so I'd better not go."

Xu Xiangdong became anxious when he heard this: "My mother was influenced by outsiders. You are not at all like what outsiders say.

I'll go back and talk to my mom, she won't hate you."

Chen Yanran opened her bright eyes, raised her head, and looked at Xu Xiangdong with her black eyes: "Thank you for trusting me."

If you don’t know how to make it, I’ll take it back and ask my sister to make it for you.”

Chen Yanran quickly shook her head. If this dress returned to the Xu family and if Sun Dacao found out, it would definitely be snatched away.

Although she doesn't know how to do it, she can ask the female educated youth in the educated youth institute for help.

She smiled and said, "I can do it. No need to trouble your sister."

Xu Xiangdong chuckled, scratched his head and said, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat. Xu Ying is very successful now and now works in a state-owned restaurant.

Let's go find her and tell her that she might be able to serve us some more food."

The relationships among the younger generation in Xujia Village are relatively good.

So there is no hesitation in bringing this up.

Chen Yanran's face turned pale when she heard this, and she quickly shook her head and said, "No, it's too expensive to eat at a state-owned restaurant. It's better to eat at home!"

Xu Xiangdong thought that Chen Yanran was reluctant to spend his money, and he felt even happier.

His mother also told him that Chen Zhiqing was a girl from the city who spent money lavishly and their family could not afford to support her. But now it seems that she knows how to live!

"Okay, I'll take you to buy some vegetables, and when you get back, you can go back to the Youth House and cook."

The two of them happened to pass by a state-owned restaurant. Xu Ying followed the shopping spree out and happened to see the two of them.

"Xu Ying, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go." Purchaser Xiao Zhang urged. He wanted to finish his work quickly and go back to rest.

I don’t know if it’s because Xu Ying’s cooking skills are so good, or because more people have come to eat here recently, but the restaurant business is getting better and better.

Now the vegetables ordered every day are not enough, so purchasing agent Xiao Zhang has to work overtime to order another batch of vegetables.

Xu Ying suggested that they go together to take a look and choose some fresher and more suitable dishes.

Xiao Zhang is a man in his thirties. Because Chef Ge always calls him Xiao Zhang, and later Gao Guihua also called him that, everyone in the restaurant called him that.

Xu Ying had no choice but to follow the local customs and also called him Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang was not angry either.

However, he was a little unhappy that Xu Ying went with him to purchase. Purchasing was a lucrative job and he didn't dare to spend too much money, but he could still accept some free gifts as a thank you.

If Xu Ying goes, won't she take away some of it?

Seeing how generously Xiao Zhang spent money on groceries, Xu Ying suddenly came up with a way to make money.

Xiao Zhang is not just the purchasing manager of their restaurant. The restaurants in the entire county are divided into two areas, one in the east and one in the west. With the county center as the midline, the east side is under the purchasing management of the east, and the west side is under the purchasing management of the west.

The area under Xiao Zhang's jurisdiction is in the east.

"Xiao Zhang, this is the price you usually charge. It's too expensive."

"Then what price do you think is suitable?" Xiao Zhang was a little dissatisfied. He felt that Xu Ying was questioning him. Was it easy for him to work so diligently?

Xu Ying could tell that he was angry, so she smiled and said, "I just can't stand these people cheating you. We're buying so much, so we have to go with the wholesale price.

For example, two kilograms of cabbage cost only five cents, and radishes cost one cent per kilogram..."

Xu Ying talked about everything from eggs to vegetables and some mountain products.
