Ye Zhiwei didn't dare to look at Jiang Jianian, who smiled and put the cookie box into the shopping cart.
Ye Zhiwei walked forward, and Jiang Jianian continued to follow behind.
She walked fast, and he walked fast too; if she slowed down, he would stay by her side.
She didn't even push the shopping cart anymore; it was practically Jiang Jianian pushing the cart and following her around.
Ye Zhiwei knew that the snacks on the shelves were of very average quality and couldn't compare to the handmade snacks made by Jiang Jianian, so she didn't linger.
Of course, not lingering in this area was also because they were afraid Jiang Jianian would misbehave again. At this time, more and more customers were coming in. Although there were fewer people in the imported snack section, someone might suddenly walk by. What use was it for Jiang Jianian to cover it with the cookie box? It was completely useless! Anyone who saw them would know what the two of them were doing there.
After leaving the snacks section, we soon arrived at the fresh produce section.
Ye Zhiwei started looking around.
Ye Zhiwei was drawn to the sight of a young couple selecting beef at the fresh food counter.
My wife said, "It's imported Wagyu beef, the Hermes of beef, but it's really expensive. I heard that this beef melts in your mouth when grilled, and it's so delicious that you don't even need to add any seasoning. I didn't expect that the mall would actually sell this."
The young man next to her, presumably her husband, seemed a bit embarrassed. Even a small piece of beef weighed two jin (1 kg), which would cost several thousand yuan.
"We'll definitely buy it when we have the money in the future!" In the end, all his words could only become a promise for the future, as he carefully coaxed his wife.
Finally, the young woman chose the beef that was on sale next to her, and before leaving, she couldn't help but take a few more reluctant glances at it.
Wagyu?
After they left, Ye Zhiwei stepped forward. The sign above introduced imported Wagyu beef: imported Matsusaka Wagyu beef, priced at four thousand yuan per kilogram.
The beef is very fresh, and you can see the marbled fat on it. It has a high fat content and is evenly distributed like falling snowflakes. Because the meat is rich in fat, it has a buttery aroma and a melt-in-your-mouth fresh taste after grilling.
"Can we have a barbecue tonight?" Ye Zhiwei asked, holding up one of the beef portions.
Jiang Jianian would never refuse; he would agree to whatever Ye Zhiwei said.
Seeing that Jiang Jianian agreed, Ye Zhiwei immediately and happily emptied the already expensive and scarce Wagyu beef into her shopping cart. This shopping spree made the middle-aged woman who had come over to look for some fresh meat think it was something special.
To everyone's surprise, Ye Zhiwei had already cleared out the beef on the ice as soon as she arrived. The woman couldn't help but say, "Don't take it all away. You should at least leave some for someone else."
Ye Zhiwei turned to look at the woman, "Auntie, are you buying something too?"
"If I don't buy it, will you save one for someone else?" The woman hadn't even looked closely at what Ye Zhiwei had bought. She just assumed that buying so much at once meant it was some kind of discounted beef on sale. Naturally, she nodded and openly took one portion into Ye Zhiwei's shopping cart.
But their expressions changed as soon as they saw the price tag on the box of exquisite beef. Housewives like them had always been frugal and would never have thought of buying such a luxury item.
Embarrassed, she put the beef back on the ice. Feeling utterly humiliated, she quickly left without daring to utter a single word.
Ye Zhiwei asked Jiang Jianian curiously, "Does she not want it again?"
Before Jiang Jianian could answer Ye Zhiwei, a pretty girl behind him covered her mouth and interjected, "I've seen that auntie several times. Every time she comes to the mall, she comes to grab discounted items. That auntie thought you were going on a big shopping spree to grab some cheap goods and try to get a bargain from you. Little did she know that you were buying such expensive luxury beef."
Ye Zhiwei turned her head and looked at the girl.
The girl took the beef box out of the ice and put it into the shopping cart that Jiang Jianian was pushing. Looking at Jiang Jianian, she said, "What a coincidence, Jianian, do you remember me? I'm Lin Yutong, the one who kept refreshing the confession wall screen after military training."
Ye Zhiwei: She's actually an alumna of Yenching University, and a girl that Jiang Jianian knows!
