Chapter 201 Purchase
"Don't be so stingy. I'll stay for a day and leave after lunch tomorrow."
Fu Mingyou's tone sounded a little pitiful. Seeing that Gu Jinyan ignored him, he turned to look at Ye Qian.
Ye Qian was frightened by Fu Ming's eyes. It was not that Ye Qian didn't want to help. If Fu Ming was a girl, Ye Qian... would not let anyone stay.
'Ahem' It's not very convenient after all.
Naturally, Ye Qian couldn't go past Gu Jinyan and agree to Fu Ming directly, so she had to pretend that she hadn't seen Fu Ming's eyes. After seeing Gu Jinyan lock the door, she took his wrist and left the office door together and walked downstairs.
Fu Ming didn't care whether Gu Jinyan agreed or not, and followed him directly. Gu Jinyan was helpless because of the noise and was forced to take Fu Ming in.
Auntie Lan complained a few words when she saw people coming back: "Isn't it just a meeting today? No work, why did it take so long?"
Gu Jinyan started complaining about Fu Ming again: "It's our deputy director who talks too much."
Gu Jinyan acted like this purely because Fu Ming made Ye Qian wait for too long and was worried, so naturally he would complain a few more times whenever he had the chance.
Fu Ming felt a little embarrassed after being talked about for so long, so he simply kept his mouth shut.
Aunt Lan thought that they would come back earlier at noon because it was just a meeting, so she prepared lunch earlier. But it was already 1 o'clock, so Aunt Lan had to reheat the food and asked the three of them to wait.
The three of them sat at the table waiting for Aunt Lan's food, which was soon heated up.
Although Ye Qian had eaten something, she still felt hungry when she saw the food. She had eaten a lot at noon, so she walked around in the yard in the afternoon to digest the food.
Gu Jinyan and Fu Ming were playing chess, drinking tea and talking about things in the room. It really looked like something two cadres would do.
Ye Qian was tired from walking and had almost digested her lunch, so she started thinking about dinner. Gu Jinyan handed Ye Qian a cup of hot water, and Ye Qian smiled and said, "Let's have hot pot tonight."
"Hot pot, yes, yes."
Some people are happy just to eat Fu Ming, and of course they can't miss it when they hear there is hot pot.
Seeing Fu Ming agree so happily, Ye Qian turned to Gu Jinyan and said, "Let's go out and get some things."
Fu Ming didn't understand the situation. "Why are you going out, sister-in-law? Gu Jinyan and I can go out."
Gu Jinyan glanced at Fu Ming. What kind of supplies were they going to get?
Ye Qian said politely: "I'm going to find someone to get it. You guys are not familiar with it."
After saying that, he drank the water in the cup, handed the backpack to Gu Jinyan, and went out with Gu Jinyan.
The two walked to a deserted place, and Ye Qian took out the butter and tomato bases from the space, and then took out a lot of meat and vegetables, and also took some vegetables to be eaten during the New Year. After filling a large backpack, the two stayed there for a while and then went home.
Fu Ming took a short nap on the sofa, and soon he heard some movement at the door. He knew that it must be Gu Jinyan and Ye Qian who had returned, so he hurried to the door to greet them. After Fu Ming opened the door, the first thing he saw was the backpack in Gu Jinyan's hand. The backpack was full. Although Fu Ming didn't know what vegetables were in it, it didn't stop him from staring at them.
Fu Ming quickly took the basket from Gu Jinyan and took it into the kitchen. He then took out the vegetables one by one from the basket. The more he took, the more surprised he was. It was already amazing that he could buy such fresh and juicy vegetables in such a cold day. But after seeing the pile of meat underneath, he was speechless for a moment, and then felt a little jealous. He didn't know where Gu Jinyan knew people who could get so many good things. Before leaving tomorrow, he asked Gu Jinyan to help him get some.
Fu Ming helped Aunt Lan to prepare the dishes with a sour mood. When they finished, it was almost dark. Ye Qian took out the bottom of the pot and put it into the double-flavored pot that she had used before, added water and started to cook.
After a while, he could smell the fragrance coming from far away. Fu Ming swallowed his saliva and sat down to wait for the meal to start.
Ye Qian naturally sat down in her seat without any hesitation. She couldn't help much at the moment, so why should she go over and cause trouble for everyone, which would only make everyone worry.
Ye Qian sat obediently waiting for the hot pot to boil, then added kelp, tofu, mushrooms, potatoes and other things that taste better the longer they are cooked. Then, after Gu Jinyan and Aunt Lan arrived, she started to cook the meat.
The meat was cut into thin slices. Only Aunt Lan could do this kind of knife skills. It was much better than what Ye Qian had cut herself before, and the taste was completely different.
Then dip it in the sesame paste in the bowl. The taste is absolutely mouth-watering. Such food would taste delicious even in later generations, let alone now. Fu Ming ate until he was so full that he couldn't walk anymore, so he stopped.
Fu Ming sat on the chair and waved to Gu Jinyan: "I can't eat anymore. Your food is too good. I don't want to leave."
"If you don't leave, are you still staying in my house?" Gu Jinyan's words were full of disgust.
It's not that Fu Ming couldn't hear it, but Gu Jinyan had been like this since he was a child, so he was no longer surprised. Fu Ming didn't mind Gu Jinyan's words at all, and said, "Can you get me some supplies? I'll give you money and tickets. There's really nothing you can get outside, and you can't bear to see me go home empty-handed, right?"
"It's okay if you have nothing in your hands. Just give me the money."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Ye Qian quickly stopped them: "We have to prepare New Year's goods tomorrow anyway, so it doesn't matter if we bring a little more back."
"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law."
Fu Ming immediately thanked him, not giving Gu Jinyan a chance to refute.
The next day.
Fu Ming went to the counter to buy cigarettes and alcohol to take back and then returned to Gu's house. Fu Ming told his leader that these could still be bought. At this time, Ye Qian and Gu Jinyan had also transported the New Year's supplies back home.
Fu Ming didn't ask for anything to buy, so Ye Qian prepared two thermos cups, two bottles of malted milk, four canned fruits, two canned meats, and two canned fish for him.
There were quite a lot of supplies, and Fu Ming couldn't take any more. After looking at the supplies, Fu Ming directly gave Gu Jinyan 400 yuan and some tickets. Fu Ming had heard about thermos cups, which cost dozens of yuan each, but many people bought them, and many people in the unit were using them. As Gu Jinyan's good brother, Fu Ming naturally asked Gu Jinyan for one. He didn't know the price at the time, but later he found out and gave Ye Qian 2 packs of milk powder of this era. Although it was not expensive, it was a thoughtful gesture. He couldn't get more for a while.
After everyone had a simple meal of instant noodles at noon, Ye Qian asked Aunt Lan to make some pancakes for Fu Ming to eat on the road.
Fu Ming was still not satisfied with the instant noodles he had at noon. What kind of magical noodles were these? How could they be so delicious? He wanted to ask Ye Qian for some, but when he saw Gu Jinyan's eyes, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
