Chapter 51 The meat-grabbing spectacle of the 1970s!
If the shortened space upgrade time is not because of her personal soldier brother, then what could it be?
Lu Chiyu felt that she had done a lot of things today, so how could he know which one it was.
Well, let's explore it slowly. Anyway, she intuitively feels that it is related to her personal soldier brother.
And Captain Gu, who was used and discarded: ...Okay, as long as the girl is happy, seeing her so lively, he does not regret being her guarantor, and hopes that she can always be so happy.
…………
The next day, Lu Chiyu and Gu Yuan got up together. After breakfast, Gu Yuan went to training before dawn.
When leaving the house, Captain Gu looked at the heartless woman several times with hesitation, making sure that she was only thinking about grabbing the pork and had no intention of giving him a good morning kiss, so he left.
Then Lu Chiyu got dressed and Qian Fanghua also came knocking on the door.
It was just dawn when the two of them went out, but the family compound was already very lively, and the military wives were all rushing in one direction: the gate of the family compound.
Everyone went to the supply and marketing cooperative to grab pork!
Lu Chiyu and Qian Fanghua rode the bicycles they bought yesterday and quickly overtook many people.
"Can Captain Gu's family give my sister-in-law a ride?" Wu Juan was sniffing in the crowd, waving and shouting loudly to Lu Chiyu.
Lu Chiyu glanced at her and without thinking, he sped up and rode over: "There are so many sisters-in-law. It's not good for me to only take yours, Sister-in-law Feng, so you should go with everyone."
"Bah! It's just a broken bicycle, why are you so proud?"
Seeing Lu Chiyu and Qian Fanghua passing by her one after another, Wu Juan was so angry that she spat at them, and the military wife next to her immediately moved away from her in disgust.
Although Lu Chiyu hadn't ridden a bike for a long time, her skills were still very good, and Qian Fanghua couldn't catch up with her along the way.
The two of them passed countless people and finally arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative ten minutes later.
Lu Chiyu thought that she would definitely be able to grab the meat after getting past so many people, but when they arrived, the supply and marketing cooperative was already surrounded by three circles of people.
The supply and marketing cooperative newspaper is still kept under strict control.
Lu Chiyu: ...As expected, throughout history, the Chinese people have always had a special liking for pork.
It is said that if you are not enthusiastic about eating meat, there is something wrong with your thinking.
Ten minutes later, the door of the supply and marketing cooperative slowly opened, and then everyone rushed in.
When Lu Chiyu and Qian Fanghua squeezed in, there were already three or four circles of people in front of them.
Lu Chiyu was dumbfounded: "Sister-in-law, can we still buy meat today?"
Qian Fanghua said confidently, "We came early today, so we're sure we can get it. Ah Yu, you don't have any experience, so give me your money and I'll go."
Seeing that Qian Fanghua looked like she was about to show off her skills, Lu Chiyu silently handed her the money.
Then she saw Qian Fanghua take a deep breath and squeeze into the crowd desperately.
Lu Chiyu heard the staff shouting and cursing from inside the counter, customers cursing at each other, and all kinds of voices urging people to hurry up. These sounds mixed together in a noisy manner, making people feel like there were 800 ducks quacking.
After five, six, seven or five minutes, Qian Fanghua finally came out, but she looked extremely embarrassed.
One of her two braids was loose, three buttons on her shirt were missing, and even one of her shoes was missing. In her hands were two knives and a piece of fat meat skewered with bamboo strips.
It's really fat meat, there's not even a lean piece of pork.
Lu Chiyu: ...What a mistake. She forgot to tell Mrs. Qian that she wanted lean meat or pork belly.
But since she had bought it, there was no reason for her to complain. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Qian Fanghua excitedly say:
"Look, Ayu, we've snatched two large pieces of fat meat. If we refine this meat, we can produce two ounces of lard. Cooking with lard is so delicious! We can also use the lard residue to make dumplings, and the flavor will be amazing if we add it to vegetables."
Lu Chiyu nodded approvingly: "Thank you, sister-in-law. You are so brave, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get it."
She really admired Qian Fanghua for being able to snatch two of the most sought-after pieces of fat meat from so many people.
As expected, Qian Fanghua was praised, and immediately her whole body seemed to be injected with chicken blood. She patted her chest and said, "Sister-in-law may not have other skills, but she used to be very strong in doing farm work. Ayu, if you need to grab meat in the future, just leave it to me."
Lu Chiyu immediately continued to play the supporting role: "Yeah, sister-in-law, you are so nice. By the way, what about your shoes?"
If your hair is loose, you can tie it up again. If the buttons on your coat fall off, you don’t have to worry about wearing thick clothes in winter, but how can you go home without shoes?
Unexpectedly, Qian Fanghua said nonchalantly: "It's okay, wait until everyone leaves and then go look for my sister-in-law. I specially wore a pair of yellow cloth shoes so that I can be easily recognized."
Lu Chiyu: ...Indeed, you are well prepared!
As he was speaking, a voice of grief and indignation came from the counter: "The meat is gone again!"
Then the crowd dispersed.
Then Qian Fanghua's shoe was found among a pile of shoes at a glance.
Lu Chiyu was shocked. It took ten minutes for the store to open and they were sold out in two. Was it really that outrageous?
At this time, the crowd dispersed and Wu Juan finally squeezed in. Seeing that there were only a few pieces of meatless ribs left on the counter, she felt sick all over.
She also promised to bring pork belly for He Manman. If she couldn't buy it, she wouldn't earn the one cent reward.
Suddenly she saw the two pieces of meat in Qian Fanghua's hand. Although it was not the pork belly that He Manman wanted, she could get the job done with the meat. At worst, she could use it to refine oil at home.
So she smiled and said, "Sister Hai, you bought so much meat, can't you give me some? How about I give you one yuan per pound?"
Qian Fanghua said to her in a bad mood: "Go away, who has extra meat to share with others now? And you charge one yuan per catty. Is your money gilded?
This meat costs 80 cents a pound, and you need a ticket, you can’t expect anything with just one dollar.”
Wu Juan's face turned pale, but she was shameless and said, "Sister Hai, I'm not eating this meat myself. I bought it for Comrade He Manman, a pregnant woman. It's not good to compete with a pregnant woman for food, right?"
Qian Fanghua has a straightforward personality and doesn't have many twists and turns in her mind. When she heard that it was for pregnant women, she suddenly didn't know how to refuse.
Lu Chiyu was shocked and took over the conversation: "Sister Feng, please pay attention to your choice of words. What do you mean by Sister Hai competing with a pregnant woman for food? The meat was obviously bought by Sister Hai.
And if He Manman wants to eat meat, she can go to her husband, or even her parents. Why would she go to Hai's wife when she has no relatives with her?"
Guo Caixia also grabbed a piece of meat and came out of the crowd, echoing, "That's right, if He Manman wants to eat meat, she can only go to Sister Fanghua."
The people around were also pointing at Wu Juan and talking about her, lamenting how someone would steal the meat after seeing someone else grab it.
Wu Juan was embarrassed. Seeing that no one stood on her side, she knew that she could not offend the public, so she walked to the counter to look around to see if there was any bargain she could pick up.
Lu Chiyu and the others were about to leave, but at this moment, Lu Chiyu noticed a few ribs on the counter and couldn't help but wonder, "Sister Hai, why do I see there are still ribs there?"
"Oh, those spare ribs are only ten cents cheaper than the fat, and they require a ticket. If you buy them, you won't be able to buy the fat next time there's fat without a ticket. So, of course, you should buy the fat first with the two kilograms of meat tickets you have for the month."
Lu Chiyu's eyes lit up: "Then I'll go buy it. I have a meat ticket, and pork ribs make delicious soup."
"Tsk, you spendthrift woman." Wu Juan saw how readily Lu Chiyu gave out the money and became so jealous that her eyes turned red.
Qian Fanghua and Guo Caixia originally wanted to persuade Lu Chiyu, but when they heard Wu Juan's words, they swallowed their original words back.
Guo Caixia even scolded him, "What Xiao Lu wants to buy is none of your business."
It was already past seven o'clock when Lu Chiyu got home after buying the meat. Seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, the car sent by Nie Dahai arrived, dropped off the meat, and went out.
When they arrived at the agreed-upon military district gate, there was indeed a jeep parked there, but the person standing next to the car was not Secretary Xie, but the guard next to Brigade Commander Qin.
When he saw her, the other party came up and saluted her, then started to explain the situation.
