Chapter 64 Good Supply (Page 1/2)
It's really cold here in the army, much colder than back home.
You could hear the cold wind howling outside all night, but it was indeed warm in the house.
Because there is a human-shaped fireplace like Han Shiguo in the quilt, it would be very warm to sleep with him in arms.
Have a good night.
The next morning, Jiang Qian got up early with Han Shiguo because they were going to treat guests tonight and had to go buy groceries in the morning.
But Jiang Qian didn’t know where the vegetable market was, so they got up early and went there together.
However, before going out, Jiang Qian still scooped out flour and kneaded a dough, and followed him out while the dough was resting.
The vegetable market is not far away, only a fifteen-minute walk from my home. When I came over with two vegetable baskets, the market was already open.
They were among the first customers.
Speaking of which, the supply here at the army is really good, and they have everything they need.
However, Han Shiguo is actually quite unfamiliar with the vegetable market because he basically never comes here. He eats in the cafeteria by himself, so who would bother to cook?
So when people saw that they were all strangers, they were a little surprised and started asking about them.
When they heard that it was a battalion commander who had just arrived to join the army, they were very enthusiastic.
But Jiang Qian was the one who had to do the shopping for groceries. She bought carrots and radishes, potatoes, cabbage, leeks, tofu, pickles, onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, etc.
After buying the vegetarian food, she came over to buy meat and eggs.
There were only two kilograms of egg tickets, so I ordered two kilograms of eggs.
But Jiang Qian had a lot of hostages, all given by Han Shiguo.
She asked for two pounds of pork belly, one pound of lean meat, three pounds of fat meat to be taken back for making oil, and several ribs.
"Oh, buying so much?" the old man selling meat couldn't help but say.
"Before my husband married me, he often went to his comrades' homes to eat and drink. Now that I'm with the army, I have to show my appreciation, right? I have to invite them to my house for a meal. I can't just serve pickled vegetables on the table, don't you think?" Jiang Qian said with a smile.
The old butcher just smiled and said, "You're right!"
Then he cut it according to what Jiang Qian wanted. With one cut, he cut exactly how much Jiang Qian wanted, without any deviation.
"Uncle, your knife skills are amazing." Jiang Qian praised.
The old man who was selling meat was very proud of his skill, but Jiang Qian was too good at talking. He said, "Do you want this big bone? No ticket is required for this."
"Thank you, sir. Give it to me. I'll take it back and make some soup."
"OK."
“…”
We changed our position from the meat stall to the mutton stall. The mutton here was also very fresh and Jiang Qian liked it very much.
Especially the lamb chops, Jiang Qian directly ordered three pounds, planning to make braised lamb chops.
I also ordered two pounds of mutton, planning to make mutton dumplings for lunch!
The last one is the place where they sell fish.
Look at the lady who sells fish. Those fish are so fresh, all wild and natural. They are not comparable to those fed with hormones in later generations.
"Sister, can you help me catch these two fish?" Jiang Qian liked them very much and pointed at the fish.
"Okay." The other sister scooped up the fish quickly. There is no fish-killing service here, so you have to take it back and kill it yourself. It's not like the south in later generations, where you can get all the services you need.
After buying the meat, eggs and vegetables, the couple went home with a basket each.
"Look, I told you to take two baskets and you said it was too much. Is it still too much now?" Jiang Qian was still talking about the man next to her on the way back. It was obvious at a glance that he had never bought vegetables before.
