Chapter 1588 Investigation Team (I)
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Aunt Cauliflower weighed the pickled meat in her hand, and then asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, how much does your pickled meat weigh?"
"I don't know, because I have several pieces of bacon, and I didn't keep track of their weight."
"Do you have a scale at home?"
"have."
"Go get the scale and I'll weigh the meat so I can return it to you."
"Okay." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the house to get the scale.
In fact, that piece of pickled meat was nothing to Lu Xiaoxiao, but in that era, such a piece of meat was a very valuable item, so Lu Xiaoxiao went through so much trouble. She would not do things that would make her feel ungrateful. Some things that should be settled clearly must be settled clearly.
"Aunt Caihua, I'll weigh it for you." Lu Xiaoxiao said after handing the scale to Aunt Caihua.
"It doesn't matter who weighs it. You don't need to give me the scale. Just weigh it directly."
"Aunt Caihua, I know it doesn't matter who weighs it, but I don't know how to read a scale, so you have to do it." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she handed the scale to Aunt Caihua again.
What she said to Aunt Caihua about not being able to read a scale was true. She really couldn't read a scale. The reason she bought this scale was because Liu Biao and his friends needed a scale when they were digging medicinal herbs, so she went to the black market to buy one.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Aunt Cauliflower took the scale, quickly hooked the meat on the scale and started weighing it.
After she weighed the meat, she looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, this piece of meat weighs two pounds and eight types. I'll ask Baozhu to go to the county town in a few days to buy the meat and return it to you."
"good."
After Aunt Cauliflower left, Lu Xiaoxiao went back to the house. Then she looked at the time and it was less than ten o'clock, so she planned to go to the space to make medicine.
She had asked Zhang Xu to come back in a month to pick up the ointment. If she didn't hurry up and make the ointment, she might not be able to make 500 bottles of ointment in a month.
"Have you borrowed the meat?" the captain asked Aunt Cauliflower when he saw her walk into the yard.
"I borrowed it. I borrowed almost three pounds of meat from Xiaoxiao."
The captain nodded in satisfaction after hearing Aunt Cauliflower's words. Then he looked at Aunt Cauliflower and said, "Let's cook the three pounds of meat for lunch today."
"What? Aren't there only four people in the investigation team? Why do we have to cook so much meat?" When Aunt Cauliflower heard the captain say that he had to cook three pounds of meat at once, she immediately said to the captain with a painful look on her face.
“It’s not just the four members of the investigation team who will be eating at noon. The team leaders and accountants in the village will also come to eat with the investigation team. If you don’t cook all the meat, there won’t be enough for so many people.
Besides, the village will reimburse you for the money and tickets to buy the meat, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Aunt Cauliflower was relieved when she heard the captain's words. If her family had to pay for the meat, she would never agree to cook all the meat.
Now that she knew the money for the meat would be paid for by the village, she naturally no longer felt any pain in her heart. Not only did she not feel any pain in her heart, she was actually quite happy about it, because if all the meat was cooked, her family would at least be able to get a piece of meat.
When the captain saw Aunt Cauliflower's face smiling like a chrysanthemum, he shook his head helplessly. Then he couldn't help but think in his heart that Aunt Cauliflower was a good person in every way except that she was a little stingy.
"Okay, stop laughing. Go cook with Baozhu's wife. I'll go to the team to check. When you're done, have someone come to let me know."
"good."
