Chapter 21 Procurement
"Brother Ziwen, this happened so suddenly, it feels like a dream."
Lying on Zhou Ziwen's back, Chen Qiaoyi murmured.
"It's not that sudden. Nowadays, many couples are introduced by matchmakers. After meeting each other once, they get married directly if they think they are suitable. This is much faster than us," said Zhou Ziwen.
"Brother Ziwen, will you marry me?" Chen Qiaoyi was still a little uneasy because she had been dating Zhou Ziwen on impulse just now.
"Of course, any relationship that is not aimed at marriage is just hooliganism." Zhou Ziwen hurriedly assured.
"whee!"
The little girl was happy after getting a positive answer.
Chen Qiaoyi was not heavy, and Zhou Ziwen felt like he was not carrying her on his back.
Feeling the soft sensation on his back, Zhou Ziwen felt more motivated.
He didn't know if it was body odor or something else, but he also smelled a pleasant fragrance. The smell was very faint, and if he wasn't so close, he really wouldn't be able to smell it.
For the rest of the journey, Zhou Ziwen carried Chen Qiaoyi on his back.
With his physical condition, he didn't even break a sweat after walking a long distance.
However, the girl was worried that he would get tired, so she stayed on Zhou Ziwen's back for a while and then got off by herself.
The journey to the county town is quite long, but I have a lively and cheerful pretty girl accompanying me on the way, so I don’t feel bored at all.
Especially after confirming the relationship, the two people became closer.
Sometimes a joke can make a little girl blush for a long time, which is so cute.
By the time they arrived in the county town, it was almost eight o'clock.
Zhou Ziwen took Chen Qiaoyi to the place where meat was sold first.
Because we arrived early this time, there was still a lot of pork left on the butcher's chopping board.
Zhou Ziwen didn't hesitate and directly chose a larger piece of pork with less lean meat and mostly fat.
I weighed it on the scale and it weighed exactly five pounds.
After paying the money and ticket, Zhou Ziwen took the meat to buy wine.
I came to the county town today mainly to buy meat.
After all, the villagers helped him build the house and were busy for so many days, so he had to treat them to a good meal.
Walking on the street carrying such a big piece of meat, Zhou Ziwen immediately became the focus of the crowd.
In this era, there are many people who have money to sell meat, but the key is that they don’t have tickets, so even if they have money, they can’t buy it.
Unless you buy it on the black market at a high price.
But buying things on the black market is risky, and you will be in trouble if you get caught.
On the way, someone came up to Zhou Ziwen and asked if he wanted to sell his meat, saying he could offer a high price.
Zhou Ziwen hurriedly shook his head without even asking the price.
In order to buy meat, he worked hard, got up early in the morning before dawn, and finally bought a piece of meat.
"Brother Ziwen, we seem to be a little too conspicuous." Chen Qiaoyi was a little scared by everyone's gaze.
"It's okay. I'll get a pocket for it later. It won't be noticeable when you put it in your pocket." Zhou Ziwen comforted her with a smile, reassuring her.
Arriving at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Qiaoyi said to Zhou Ziwen, "Brother Ziwen, please wait for me outside for a while. I'll go in and buy some things."
"What do you want to buy? Let's go in together!" Zhou Ziwen didn't react for a moment. Aren't they here to buy things at the supply and marketing cooperative?
"Oh, I'm going to buy girls' things!" Chen Qiaoyi stomped her feet, her ears almost turning red.
"Oh, oh, I see. Then you go first. After you have bought it, we will go in together." Zhou Ziwen finally reacted.
"Then you must wait for me outside!" Chen Qiaoyi looked at Zhou Ziwen with some concern.
"Don't worry, I'll wait here and won't go anywhere." Zhou Ziwen patted his chest and promised.
He knew that this girl was insecure.
After all, they were not familiar with the county town, and in this unfamiliar place, Zhou Ziwen was her only support.
Chen Qiaoyi went in very quickly and came out after a while. Zhou Ziwen also noticed that her bag was bulging with something in it.
In this era, he really doesn't know much about girls' things.
But it’s okay, you’ll understand each other naturally as you get along with each other.
After Chen Qiaoyi came out, the two of them re-entered the supply and marketing cooperative.
Zhou Ziwen first bought a sack and put the meat in it.
With the cover of the sacks, less attention was paid to them.
After walking around for a while, no one paid attention to them anymore.
However, Zhou Ziwen's handsome face still attracted the attention of some girls, both young and old.
After a stroll around the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Ziwen bought some seasonings, such as chili peppers, peppercorns, and vegetable oil.
After all, I will be cooking for myself in the future, and without these seasonings, the dishes will not be so delicious.
Because he was going to treat everyone, he simply bought 20 kilograms of loose liquor.
In the countryside, people don’t have high requirements for the quality of wine. As long as there is wine, it’s fine. The key is to have a large quantity.
He estimated that he would have to eat at least half of the 20 kilograms he bought today.
Because he had nothing to hold the wine, he bought a plastic bucket for fifty cents.
When he and Chen Qiaoyi came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, the sack in Zhou Ziwen's hand was almost full.
Seeing that they had bought almost everything, the two of them prepared to go home.
Their families are still waiting to take their meat back and cook it!
But before going back, Zhou Ziwen bought a few big meat buns at the state-owned restaurant.
Although Chen Shiying made them a few pancakes in the morning, how could they not eat something delicious when they came to the county town.
Maybe it's because I haven't eaten meat for several days.
Zhou Ziwen ate a few big meat buns until his mouth was full of oil, and he felt like he wanted to eat more.
The key is that the big meat buns are not expensive, only five cents each.
Zhou Ziwen bought ten at a time, and ate eight of them.
"Brother Ziwen, you are such a big eater!" Chen Qiaoyi exclaimed.
She was a little worried that eating like Zhou Ziwen would make him go bankrupt!
At this moment, the girl was already calculating whether her small stash of money was enough for Zhou Ziwen to eat.
"Hehe, being able to eat is a blessing. Don't worry, follow your brother Ziwen, and I promise that you will never go hungry in the future." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
He also knew that his way of eating was a bit exaggerated.
But there is no way, his Bajiquan is still hanging on the idle panel!
His boxing proficiency has been improving, and his body is getting stronger all the time, which of course consumes some energy.
"Hehe, then I will rely on you from now on." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.
"Don't worry, you won't starve." Zhou Ziwen looked confident.
During this period, because I had just arrived in the countryside and didn't know the situation there, I couldn't do many things.
But after understanding it for a period of time, he already had a general idea of the next plan.
However, before he could proceed with the next plan, he had to settle down first. After all, it was a newly built house and there was still a lot to do.
