Chapter 2001 Buying Big Fat Meat
"Comrade, this is the money for our hair cuts." After Lu Xiaoxiao took out fifty cents from her bag and handed it to Abao, she pulled Liu Ermei out of the barber shop.
"Hey... wait a minute, I have something else to say to you." When A Bao saw Lu Xiaoxiao leaving the barber shop, he hurriedly chased out of the barber shop and shouted to Lu Xiaoxiao.
After hearing what Abao said, Lu Xiaoxiao walked even faster, and only stopped when she could no longer see the barber.
"Xiaoxiao, the barber seemed to be calling you just now." Liu Ermei said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"I know. It's because he called me that I walked so fast."
"Why?"
"Don't you think that barber has some mental problems? And think about the hair he cut for me. Do you think he would do anything good to me?"
After listening to Lu Xiaoxiao's words, Liu Ermei felt that Lu Xiaoxiao was right, so she said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you were right not to pay attention to him."
"That's not the case."
"This is the money for my hair cut." Liu Ermei took out twenty-five cents and handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao.
Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at the money Liu Ermei handed her. She did not refuse but took it and put it in her bag.
There are some things that don’t need to be made clear when good friends are together, but there are some things that still need to be made clear, otherwise it will affect the relationship between each other.
After seeing Lu Xiaoxiao accept the money, Liu Ermei smiled happily, then leaned close to Lu Xiaoxiao's ear and said, "Xiaoxiao, I want to go to the black market."
"Why do you want to go to the black market?"
“I want to go to the black market to see if there is any meat for sale. I have saved a lot of pocket money in the past six months.
Originally, I planned to use this pocket money to buy food to help alleviate the difficulties at home, but now that I have yams, I don’t have to buy food anymore.
So I wanted to buy some meat and pickle it at home to eat slowly, so that I wouldn’t have to go without oily food for the whole winter.”
"Meat is very expensive on the black market. Are you sure you want to go?"
"Sure."
"Then go ahead."
More than ten minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao brought Liu Ermei into the black market, but she did not go to find Manager Xie. Instead, she strolled around the black market with Liu Ermei.
"Xiaoxiao, why are there so many people selling meat in the black market?" After taking a look around, Liu Ermei found that there were actually three families selling meat in the black market, so she asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Maybe every family has started to kill pigs now. Besides the mission pigs, every family can raise one more pig now."
"Oh, yeah, how could I have forgotten about this? My mom told me that we would also raise a pig next year."
"Have you decided where to buy the meat?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Ermei.
“Ask about the price first, and then decide.”
"good."
After comparing prices from three stores, Liu Ermei chose one because the meat there was not only cheaper than the other two, but also fattier.
"Comrade, I want two kilograms of fat meat." Liu Ermei said carefully to the stall owner.
"Okay, I will definitely cut the fattest ones for you." After the stall owner said that, he cut two pounds of fat meat for Liu Ermei. Except for a little lean meat at the bottom, the rest was all white fat.
When Liu Ermei saw the meat the stall owner cut for her, she was very satisfied, so she readily paid four yuan, wrapped the meat in oil paper and put it in her backpack.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to buy some meat? Although the meat on the black market is a bit more expensive, it is much better than the meat sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and you don't need a ticket. So it's still more cost-effective to buy meat on the black market."
