Chapter 385 New Year's Goods
After leaving Wu Dagang's house, Zhou Ziwen did not delay and took the Chen sisters straight to the county town.
However, due to the accumulation of snow, the road to the county town is not easy to travel.
Fortunately, it didn't snow in the past few days, and the snow outside had already started to melt. In addition, everyone walked there from time to time, and as more people walked, the road was formed.
Although it was difficult to ride a bicycle, Zhou Ziwen had good riding skills and it took him a little longer than usual to reach the county town.
After arriving at the county town, the roads outside were clean. Obviously, there were people in the city who specialized in cleaning and clearing snow.
Although some places are still not clean, at least the main roads have been cleared.
Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters were not used to riding bicycles on the street. Once they arrived in the county town, they got off their bicycles and walked.
"Sister, Yiyi, have you decided what to buy?" Zhou Ziwen asked while pushing his bicycle.
"Brother Ziwen, let's buy some firecrackers and take them back. I want to play with them." Chen Qiaoyi said enthusiastically.
"Okay, buy more so you can have enough fun." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand and said generously.
"We don't have any pork at home, and I don't know if we can buy some." Chen Shiying also spoke up.
Counting the days, today is the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and in a few days it will be New Year's Eve.
It’s time to prepare things for the New Year.
Otherwise, if it snows in a few days, they will not have the chance to come to the county town.
"Then let's go to the food supply station first. If we can't buy meat, I'll come again tomorrow morning." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Although there is no shortage of meat at home, with pork belly, goat meat and badger meat, we still have to buy some pork for the New Year.
"I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative later to buy Spring Festival couplets, incense sticks, and stickers..." Chen Shiying counted on her fingers, muttering one thing after another.
"Since we are going to write Spring Festival couplets, we have to prepare brushes and ink." Zhou Ziwen reminded.
"Ziwen, how is your calligraphy? Can you write the Spring Festival couplets for me when the time comes?" Chen Shiying asked.
In fact, when it comes to writing, they are both about the same, but Zhou Ziwen is the man of the family, so things like writing Spring Festival couplets should of course be done by the head of the family.
However, calligraphy and hard pen calligraphy are different after all, so she asked.
"No problem, I'll write it, but please don't think my handwriting is ugly!" Zhou Ziwen nodded readily, but silently opened the auto-play panel in his heart.
【Calligraphy LV3 (298/300)】
The accumulation of two lifetimes has made his calligraphy skills quite good. Although it cannot be considered excellent, it is usable.
With a third-level calligraphy skill, writing Spring Festival couplets is not a problem.
However, to be on the safe side, he temporarily disabled his calligraphy skills.
Although the accumulation of two lives is good, his skills have reached a bottleneck.
If you want to break the bottleneck, the best way is to hang up.
Otherwise, you can only be like other people, either relying on time to hone your skills, or relying on a flash of inspiration to suddenly gain new insights and instantly improve your skill level.
But he is different. With the auto-switch panel, no matter how big the bottleneck is, he can break through it naturally by putting it in the auto-switch position.
"Brother Ziwen, I believe you." Chen Qiaoyi habitually put her arm around Zhou Ziwen's, but she quickly realized that they were outside, and then silently let go.
"Haha!" Zhou Ziwen rubbed his wife's head with a smile.
"No, you've messed up my hair." Chen Qiaoyi quickly dodged.
Although his tone was blaming, there was a smile on his face.
Obviously, the love in her heart made her not mind her hair being messed up.
Maybe this habit of her man made her happy.
The three of them chatted and laughed all the way and soon arrived at the food supply station.
But they arrived too late, and there were only a few bones left on the meat stall.
A fan bone and a tubular bone, the meat on them was scraped clean, no wonder no one wanted them.
In addition, there is a pair of pig intestines hanging on the shelf.
Seeing the intestines, Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up. He turned to the two sisters and said, "There's also a pair of pig intestines. Would you like some?"
Although this thing tastes good, it depends on personal preference. Some people find it disgusting and don't like it at all.
But some people like it very much, and even love the smell of shit.
Zhou Ziwen is a centrist who only likes to eat and doesn't like to clean up.
Out of sight, out of mind. As long as he can’t see the cleaning process, he will enjoy his meal.
He was very good at deceiving himself.
"Buy it and let me clean it up when you get back." Chen Shiying glanced at him and said.
How could she not understand this man who communicated with her in depth every day?
She had already figured out some of Zhou Ziwen's habits and hobbies.
"Thank you, Shiying." Zhou Ziwen smiled, feeling touched but also a little embarrassed.
This was his only hobby, but he didn't expect that his own woman would know it so well.
"Hmph! Don't I know you yet?" Chen Shiying raised her head slightly with a smug smile on her face.
"Brother, please count this large intestine and the remaining two bones for us." Zhou Ziwen said.
The large intestine and bones are not valuable things.
Large intestines are not very oily. For those who don’t like them, they are too lazy to even look at them. But for those who like them, they have to consider whether it is cost-effective.
Of course, they were lucky today, otherwise they might not be able to buy large intestines.
As for the bones, fan bones don’t have much oil or water, while tubular bones are very nutritious, but they have no meat!
This alone is enough to make most people give up.
Only a spendthrift like Zhou Ziwen, who is not short of money, would buy the bones to eat.
Of course, he is not actually a rich man, he just doesn't care that much about material things.
After all, as a man with an auto-switch panel, money is just a number to him.
It's just that it's not convenient to make money in this era, otherwise, he would have no idea how much he had.
For him, money doesn't need to be a lot, just enough is enough.
"Three dollars and sixty cents."
The butcher glanced at Zhou Ziwen and quickly packed the intestines and bones. For this, he also gave him a plastic bag for free.
Such a thoughtful gesture made Zhou Ziwen's mouth twitch.
Why does he feel like he's been taken advantage of?
"Ziwen, let's go!" Seeing Zhou Ziwen standing there in a daze, Chen Shiying reached out and pulled him.
"Oh, okay."
Zhou Ziwen came to his senses and followed the two sisters to the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are many things to buy next, and they are very diverse, but they can all be bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Then, they walked around the supply and marketing cooperative and came out with bags full of things. Of course, most of the things were on Zhou Ziwen, and only a few were on the two sisters.
"Brother Ziwen, didn't we buy too much?"
Seeing Zhou Ziwen covered in bags, Chen Qiaoyi cutely stuck out her tongue.
"It's okay. It's the New Year, and being happy is the most important thing." Zhou Ziwen smiled.
Although I bought a lot of things, it didn't cost much. The whole trip only cost me about twenty yuan.
For him with only a few hundred dollars in assets, it's no big deal.
