Chapter 100 Meat Buns
Su Xiaoxiao knew who the person talking nonsense was without turning her head.
She took out a meat bun from her bag and took a big bite.
She had to eat something quickly before the door opened. She got up too early in the morning and had no time to eat breakfast.
Wang Lili felt even more uncomfortable when she saw that she ignored her. Just as she was thinking of making a few more sarcastic remarks, she suddenly smelled the tempting aroma of steamed buns, and her stomach began to growl uncontrollably.
Who the hell eats so well so early in the morning?
She had only eaten a biscuit in the morning in order to rush to work, and now she was starving.
Following the scent, I saw Su Xiaoxiao eating a meat bun with relish.
Zhang Yulan arrived just in time and couldn't help but exclaim when she smelled the delicious aroma: "Who is eating meat buns? Wow, they smell so good!"
She is the old lady at the grocery counter and is now responsible for taking care of Su Xiaoxiao and Wang Lili.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao immediately took out another meat bun and handed it over. She couldn't waste such a good opportunity to show her courtesy.
Although people are simple in this era, they still need to know some necessary workplace skills.
What's more, it's just a meat bun, and even if others see it, they won't say anything.
She handed the meat buns to Zhang Yulan and said, "Sister Zhang, I brought too many and can't finish them all. Can you help me eat one?"
Zhang Yulan had to take care of the whole family in the morning. She rushed to work every day and had no time to eat.
Looking at the big, plump and soft meat bun in front of me, I subconsciously wanted to refuse it, but my stomach started to rumble.
Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the bun into her hand and said, "Sister Zhang, don't be disgusted. Eat it while it's hot, otherwise you won't be able to take care of it when you open the door."
"Thank you very much."
Zhang Yulan took the bun and took a bite without any hesitation.
The rich soup mixed with the aroma of meat spreads in your mouth after one bite. It is so delicious.
"Comrade Su, if there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."
This was the sentence Su Xiaoxiao was waiting for. The department store had a clear rule that salespeople were not allowed to reserve merchandise without permission, and they had to purchase it with tickets according to the procedures.
In other words, even if the head of the department store comes, he still needs to queue up and buy things.
Su Xiaoxiao came up with this idea. She asked Zhang Yulan to help save some things, and when she was done with her work for a while, she would go and queue up to buy them.
"no problem."
Rules are dead, but people are alive. Most people who need to buy things for relatives basically do this, but they don’t have the right to reserve too much and can only do their best.
After the two of them made an agreement, Zhang Yulan went back to her counter while eating a bun. When she passed by Wang Lili, she nodded lightly at her.
Wang Lili's counter was located between the two of them. The aroma of meat buns filled the air on both sides. She was sandwiched in the middle, and her stomach rumbled even more.
That damn girl Su Xiaoxiao must have done it on purpose.
Just as she thought of this, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly took out a meat bun and waved it in front of her: "Comrade Wang, have you had breakfast?"
Wang Lili subconsciously thought it was going to be given to her, and immediately swallowed her saliva: "I didn't eat it."
I thought to myself, I didn't expect this little girl to be so discerning. I might as well be nicer to her in the future.
Unexpectedly, just as this thought fell, I saw Su Xiaoxiao take a bite of the bun and said vaguely: "Oh, I ate it."
Wang Lili: “…”
This damn girl!
Just as I was gnashing my teeth, the door of the department store opened.
The long queue that had been formed a long time ago immediately appeared in front of him, and everyone held up their banknotes and shouted:.
"Comrade, I'll take two pounds of river shrimp."
"Comrade, I want three pounds of hairtail fish."
"Comrade, I want a carp."
Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the last bite of the bun into her mouth and immediately got into work mode, weighing and collecting money skillfully, so busy that she couldn't stop for a moment.
After she finished her work for a while, Su Xiaoxiao picked up her enamel pot and took a big gulp. Fortunately, she had eaten two meat buns in the morning, otherwise she would definitely not have been able to hold on until now.
Seeing that there was no one in her line, she hurried to line up next to Zhang Yulan. By the time she had bought everything she needed, she was almost exhausted.
Wang Lili was also exhausted. She never expected that the grocery counter would be so busy. She was busy for a long time without even having a sip of water, and her stomach was still spitting out empty words.
I finally made it to dinner time, but I was already feeling dizzy. If I didn't eat something, I would probably faint on the spot.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Su Xiaoxiao counted the things she had bought for everyone. She only bought one-third of the things, thanks to Sister Zhang's help.
But it doesn't matter. She posted a purchase request in the game store this morning and has already received private messages from several suppliers.
One of them was her old acquaintance - the bald brother.
The anti-hair loss hero: Girl, you want to buy seafood? Why don't you ask me?
I was chased by the God of Wealth: Brother, do you have any connections?
The anti-derailment hero: Of course, I made my fortune by selling seafood. No matter how much you want, I can ship it to you today.
Unexpectedly, she was so lucky that Su Xiaoxiao immediately became excited.
I’m rich, I’m rich.
Seafood is very difficult to buy in their inland area. Department stores only sell a batch of seafood when the festival is approaching every year. Sometimes there are not many on normal days. If the bald brother has connections, then she can continue to do purchasing on behalf of others.
Her eyes immediately lit up with excitement. In addition to the things she helped to buy, she also asked for five kilograms of hairtail, five kilograms of sea-caught prawns, and two large pomfret.
When he heard that the things at the back were what she wanted, the bald brother immediately waved his hand and gave them to her.
After finishing the purchasing, Su Xiaoxiao happily took out the lunch box she brought with her and went to get some hot water.
Due to limited conditions, department stores now do not have canteens, but meal allowances are included in the salary.
If you have the conditions, you can buy food outside, and if you don’t have the conditions, you will bring your own food.
Su Xiaoxiao is the type who brings her own lunch.
Her family's conditions are obvious to all. Although she now has enough money to eat out, she doesn't dare to show off too much.
When I opened the lunch box, I saw two vegetable steamed buns made of cornmeal and a little white flour, plus some pickled radish made by Liu Cuilan herself, which was sweet and sour and refreshing. Paired with a few pieces of shiny secret bacon, it was considered a relatively good meal among the group of people who brought their own lunch.
Recently, the family's conditions have improved, and Liu Cuilan has become more generous. She no longer has to eat sorghum flour steamed bread every meal.
The taste is one thing, but the main problem is that it hurts my throat.
Zhang Yulan also brings her own meals. She has three children, and her parents-in-law are in poor health. The family's expenses all depend on the couple.
Every morning she hurriedly prepared meals for the family, then packed a little for herself and hurried out.
Because her family was poor, she would often take two coarse steamed buns made of sorghum flour and corn flour with her for lunch and eat them with boiled water.
There's no way around it. My family's conditions are difficult, and it's already pretty good to have food to eat. How can I expect anything else?
The days ahead seem to have an end that can be seen at a glance.
Zhang Yulan sighed, opened her lunch box, and was about to start eating with hot water when someone patted her shoulder.
