Chapter 24 Duck Goods Are Good Things
Lu Xiang was shopping for someone else, not her. Besides, even if she was, what did that have to do with the long-faced girl? What right did she have to point fingers at others?
Lu Xiang ignored her at first, but when she saw the long-faced girl persisting, she said, "Whether I buy something or not is none of your business! You don't have to lecture me in such a condescending tone."
The long-faced girl didn't expect Lu Xiang to dare to refute her, and said in a disgusted tone: "You are indeed from the countryside, so you are vulgar." Most people would get angry when they hear her making indirect accusations, but not everyone dares to confront her head-on.
Lu Xiang was an exception. She laughed, "I didn't expect city people to be this savvy. What right do you have to mock country people? Everything you eat and wear is supplied by the countryside! You haven't even set foot in the city yet, and you've already picked up that conceited attitude."
The people around didn't expect that Lu Xiang, who looked so amiable and kind, could actually be so good at talking.
The long-faced girl wanted to show off her superiority over Lu Xiang, but she didn't expect Lu Xiang to give her any leniency. She burst into tears and went to Fu Qinhui and said, "Your wife is unreasonable!" Then she started to smear him with various accusations and insisted that Fu Qinhui give her an explanation.
Fu Qinhui came out quickly, people are gossipy.
The surrounding salespeople also opened their eyes wide, eager to see how Fu Qinhui would handle the situation. Lu Xiang said, "I was buying some things for my sister-in-law, and she was being sarcastic and sour. I'm too lazy to repeat all the nonsense she said. This person is quite interesting. If you didn't know her, you would think she was your wife."
After Lu Xiang finished speaking, the long-faced girl's face changed immediately: "What do you mean, you said I was the third party?" This was very serious. The long-faced girl was really crying.
Lu Xiang laughed: "How come there are still people who put accusations on themselves these days?"
After a while, the director came over, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He knew the long-faced girl's personality, that she came from a good family and was always clinging to Fu Qinhui, even though they were married. He had thought she would be quiet for a while, but she was still persistent. He felt embarrassed by his subordinate's behavior: "Alright, it's okay! Don't take it to heart."
I want everyone to take a step back.
The long-faced girl couldn't get over this and turned and left. The salespeople around her said, "She must have gone to her dad!"
Lu Xiang said, "You're so old, but you still have to go home and look for your parents." The people around couldn't help laughing. They really liked Lu Xiang's quick words.
Normally, they were too embarrassed to clash with a girl with a long face, but they had long since had enough of her little princess behavior. Today, they had hit a wall.
After a while, the long-faced girl's father arrived. He was the apple of his eye and had always treated her like a treasure. When he heard that his daughter had been slapped in the face, he became furious and started to criticize her without explanation: "Why are girls like this these days? A good woman wouldn't hang around like this all day."
The girl with a long face had someone to support her, and her pride suddenly stood up.
Lu Xiang said: "It's not your turn to define whether a woman is good or not. Some people really think they are insignificant! I don't know if anyone uses you to stir-fry a pot." No wonder his daughter is like this, it turns out she has such a father.
"You..." The long-faced girl's father's face turned red with anger.
Fu Qinhui said, "It wasn't my wife who started this. Don't go too far!"
Lu Xiang said, "A good woman never thinks about other people's men." As soon as she finished speaking, even the long-faced girl's father gasped. What a powerful girl! Whatever they said, it would seem like they were trying to steal her man.
Although girls with long faces want to do this, they have the desire but not the courage.
The long-faced girl's father's face turned red and white at that time.
There were people all around watching the fun. No one gave him a way out. He was a well-known figure in the area, and if this word got out, he would be in trouble!
I wanted to help my daughter, but I didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by others.
I felt like there was a fire burning in my heart, but my tongue wasn't as eloquent as others, and I was choked and speechless.
He glared at his daughter angrily, ignored her tearful eyes, and turned away angrily.
The salesperson was a little happy to see Lu Xiang's great victory.
Suddenly, I heard a shout outside saying that an old man had fainted outside.
The supply and marketing cooperative was empty, so everyone went to check. Lu Xiang had gone out, and they quickly helped the old man selling goods aside.
They all knew this old man and said he was pitiful because he had built a house but it was occupied by a village tyrant, who only gave him a shabby house and threw away all his belongings.
He couldn't make ends meet, and it just so happened that his cousin who worked in a duck food processing factory had some duck offal and asked him to sell it. It was a good way to make a living, but no one was buying.
The old man fainted because he got anxious and angry.
The old man was helped to the supply and marketing cooperative and gradually recovered. He felt sad and started wiping away tears as soon as he spoke a word.
The tattered clothes worn by such an old man always remind me of the elderly in my family.
A few soft-hearted people nearby also joined in cursing the village tyrant as a beast.
Some people also said they wanted to pool their money to help buy some things for him, and Lu Xiang was also very curious.
Lu Xiang wanted to see what he was selling, and found that it was a whole duck neck, duck gizzards, and duck wings. She was overjoyed and asked: How much are these things?
The old man had just woken up from dizziness. He hadn't met a buyer for a long time. When someone asked, he didn't dare to quote a high price. He tentatively said, "These things are 1.5 cents per pound, and there is basically no profit."
Lu Xiang looked at the items and saw they were fairly fresh, weighing about 30 to 40 kilograms. She bought them all.
People around her said she was loving.
The processing plant didn't want duck necks, gizzards, and duck wings, but in Lu Xiang's eyes, they were truly delicious. She hadn't eaten them for a long time.
Then they went to buy some seasonings, and Lu Xiang bought the spiciest kind of chili.
It just so happened that the director brought over a very spicy devil pepper from the supply and marketing cooperative warehouse. At that time, no one knew about the devil pepper, but many people who bought it wanted to return it because they thought it was too spicy.
As more and more people came to the cooperative, the supply and marketing cooperative simply stopped selling the goods and kept them in the warehouse.
Seeing that Lu Xiang liked it, he offered her a package deal of 20 jin for 2 yuan, asking her to buy it all. This didn't even cover the original cost, which was 10 yuan, so he lost a full 8 yuan. But the director was happy to lose money. Chili peppers can't be kept for too long. If they get old and moldy, they have to be thrown away. Being able to sell them is the best.
Lu Xiang also wanted some other seasonings, and the director gave her the cost price.
Lu Xiang had just inquired and found out that there was a small market nearby. It was not managed by anyone and was very busy.
For people born in the 1980s who have never tasted the braised duck necks and braised duck wings of later generations, this is a great opportunity.
