I gave her two yuan, and the butcher handed her back forty cents unhappily, "Do you want eggs?"
Once you pay out the money, don't even think about getting it back.
"Yes, Auntie, do you have any? By the way, do you sell me a basket? I have nothing to carry it in."
It's strange and inconvenient to carry meat in your hands.
"Sell it, I'll give it to you for ten cents." This basket has been used to hold pork and it has become rotten. I can buy a new one in the village for ten cents.
"Okay." He rummaged around and took out a dime and handed it over.
It’s not for food, every penny spent is particularly painful. “You don’t see any eggs here.”
"Follow me." The butcher waved her hand and led her people to a young woman. "Second wife, little girl, buy some eggs."
Lin Wanwan: "..."
A family started a business in the black market, not bad.
I looked at the egg. It was not big, so it must have been wiped once. Although there were still some marks, it looked okay.
"How do you sell it?"
It’s quite clean, I’d like to buy some.
"Five cents each, you can't be picky." Others are five cents and a half, hers is a little cheaper, but she can't be picky either.
"It's about the same as the supply and marketing cooperative." The supply and marketing cooperative charges six cents a ticket, but it's not even as clean as this one.
"Take twenty. Just put them in this basket." He put the basket on the ground and started taking out money.
When it comes to buying food, she is very generous.
The young woman selling eggs quickly put them in, and finally there were three eggs left in the basket, one of which was very small, about the size of two bird eggs.
"Little girl, I'll give you ten cents for these three." The butcher looked at the little girl, waiting for her answer.
"Sure." She nodded and took out another dime. The old lady looked at the two dimes in her hand, her eyes rolling around. "Do you want some wild fruit? Wild peaches, they taste really good."
"Yes, yes, yes." I haven't eaten fruit for several years, and my mouth is watering when I hear the word "peaches".
"Then come with me." After walking a few steps, he came to a man and said, "Second brother, take out the peach and let the little girl see it."
Lin Wanwan: "..."
The industry is quite big!
The peaches are very small, about the size of a baby's fist, and are hard when you pinch them, but they have a very strong peach flavor that makes you drool.
"How much?"
What should I do if I really want to take a bite? It smells so good.
"Although they are wild peaches, there are not many of them. They are 20 cents per pound." The old lady had finished speaking before the man selling peaches opened his mouth.
"Five pounds, weigh it!" He handed over a dollar and watched the peaches being packed eagerly.
The man weighed five pounds with a cloth bag and handed the scale over. "That's enough," he said, and put one in it.
Lin Wanwan feigned a glance and nodded, "Big Brother is truly honest."
I don’t understand, I don’t understand!!!
Who understands? It’s embarrassing to pretend to know when you don’t.
The old lady curled her lips and said, "You don't understand at all."
After her disguise was exposed, Lin Wanwan became confident and said, "What's wrong with not understanding it?"
He puffed up his cheeks angrily. How could this old lady expose someone's shortcomings? How rude!
Humph╯^╰.
As she left with the peaches in her hand, the old lady looked at the two cents in the little girl's hand reluctantly. What a pity, what a pity.
Didn't make any money.
As I was leaving the black market, I ran into a man who looked vaguely familiar, but not much, so I ignored him.
I took a peach out of the basket, and placed a lotus leaf between the peach and the egg, so that the egg didn't touch the flesh at all. I wiped it on my clothes and took a bite. The rich peach juice burst in my mouth. It was so delicious.
The man's mouth twitched. It was the first time he saw someone eating a peach directly without even washing it. Wouldn't it prick his mouth?
The gatekeeper Ergou: He is undoubtedly a fool.
After eating one, there was a second one. He ate five in one go before stopping.
Looking up, I saw that this was a state-owned restaurant.
No wonder it smells so good.
He took out the bicycle tire cover from the space, climbed over the wall and ran straight to the backyard, put the cover down and ran away.
It was placed on the back seat of the dog's car, where it was clearly visible. He would definitely see it as soon as he came over and then have a heart attack.
Oops, I accidentally took someone else’s things yesterday, so of course I have to return them!
Walking forward happily, as if he had already seen the furious look of Dog Eyes.
After all, we must have fought back last night.
He took out another peach, this was the last one, and he would not eat it after he finished it.
After eating, it was almost time to go home. I covered the basket, ran back home, and greeted all the aunties and ladies in the corridor one by one.
After she walked away, the aunties and ladies started to talk, "Wanwan has become much more lively and cheerful!"
In the past, when I met them, I wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Not to mention the main greeting.
"Who says it isn't?"
Everyone responded and it became a lot more lively.
"What's so strange about this? Before, I was just living under someone else's roof. My biological father became my stepfather, and I even had a stepmother, and I was abused. Now I don't have to ask my family for money, and I have a job. This is bound to change."
That day, Qian Qiuju, the aunt who first helped Lin Wanwan, spoke up, and everyone thought about it and it seemed to be the case.
Just nod and do what you should do.
When Lin Wanwan entered the room, Lin Anyue immediately got up from the bed and stood up straight.
"Go cook! Stir-fry the meat and chili peppers." He took out a piece of meat and handed it over. "Don't be reluctant to add the seasonings. Make it delicious, or I'll beat you to death."
"Put a little sweet potato starch in the meat, otherwise it won't be tender." In order to have a good taste, she took great pains.
Lin Anyue took the meat, said nothing, and walked out silently with the food.
"I want to eat dry rice, no porridge allowed." Suddenly I remembered the porridge yesterday and reminded him quickly.
"Um."
Lin Anyue nodded, scooped another bowl of rice, and took two sweet potatoes.
At this time, everyone started cooking.
The small public kitchen was packed with people. Everyone was quite enthusiastic when they saw Lin Anyue, but there was the matter of secretly signing up her brother to go to the countryside.
Everyone just greeted each other simply, without the usual enthusiasm.
There was a flash of resentment in his eyes, and he threw the meat onto the chopping board viciously.
It’s all Lin Wanwan’s fault, otherwise she wouldn’t have to come here to cook and be laughed at by a bunch of bitches.
