Chapter 54: After not seeing each other for a long time, Zhang Meiya seems to have aged a lot!
Old Man Lin did not refuse. He knew what Lin Xianxian meant. If he did not accept it, it would seem a bit unkind.
Since Lin Xianxian is so generous, he will definitely not reveal the secret.
Lin Xianxian asked Old Man Lin to drive the ox cart to the grain and oil store, and she bought 100 kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of glutinous rice, and 10 kilograms of sugar and white flour.
Lin Fengshan couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement. It was really extravagant to buy so many things at once.
Then, watching Lin Xianxian take out the big unity bills one by one when paying, his face twitched with heartache.
But he only dared to think about it in his heart. After all, his daughter now had her own ideas, so he couldn't say anything more.
Then they went to the pork shop to buy meat. Lin Xianxian was not in time, and the pork had almost been sold out. At most, there were only about ten pounds, and even with the offal, it was far from enough.
"Uncle, is this all the pork left? Is there any more?"
The uncle smiled apologetically and said, "My dear, I'm so sorry, but this is really all I have left."
The weather is cool today and everyone has an appetite again, so the doorstep is almost broken down.
Lin Xianxian was so anxious that she almost cried. Without pork, she wouldn't be able to start her business tomorrow. How could she be willing to give up her business just when it was on the rise?
"How about this, you wait here. I know a few guys who work at the butcher shop. I'll ask them if they have any extra meat."
"Thank you so much!"
Lin Xianxian touched her red eyes and thanked him quickly.
The fat uncle went out with a big belly in a pair of slippers. Lin Xianxian was neither sitting nor standing, and Lin Fengshan also followed suit in a dejected manner.
Old Man Lin remained silent. He probably wouldn't need his ox cart tomorrow.
About ten minutes later, the fat uncle came back sweating profusely.
"What an unfortunate coincidence! All my brothers have sold out their meat, and only the beef is left. Do you want it? It's gone if you don't."
"beef?"
Lin Xianxian raised her eyebrows. Beef tastes better than pork, but in the 1980s beef was cheaper and people were generally more accepting of pork.
Lin Fengshan sighed, "Who wants beef? Even dogs won't eat it!"
Lin Xianxian: "Where is it? Can you show me?"
"Hey, I'll take you out!" The enthusiastic fat uncle said as he picked up his shoes.
"Xianxian, forget it, don't waste your money!"
Lin Fengshan was somewhat reluctant. What was the point of using the hard-earned money to buy beef?
"Dad, why don't you take a look and see how you know?"
Lin Xianxian pulled the reluctant Lin Fengshan out. She was quite optimistic. As long as the cooking skills were good, beef could be cooked better than pork.
Old Man Lin stayed behind to guard the rice and flour they had bought. The three of them turned two streets before arriving at a beef shop. It was deserted, with a whole head of beef hanging there untouched.
There happened to be a pork shop next to it. The meat had been sold out and the butcher was sharpening his chopping knife. During this time, people came to buy meat from time to time, but none of them left.
When the uncle selling beef saw someone coming, he smiled innocently. He looked the same as the uncle selling pork, both with round heads and fat bodies. When they stood together, it was a little hard to tell them apart.
"Uncle, how much is the beef? If it's cheap, I'll buy it all."
Lin Xianxian was drooling at the sight of the bright red beef. Beef has higher nutritional value than pork, and it is just right for nourishing the family.
The beef uncle smiled innocently, "This is authentic local yellow beef. It only costs 40 cents, no ticket required!"
