"Aunt Huang, what do you think?"
"Xiaoxue, if you're fine, then I'm fine too."
Su Tangxue sighed, "Well then! Aunt Wu, come over and help Aunt Huang in the kitchen next Monday at noon. As for the time, you can discuss it among yourselves, but make sure the children can have lunch as soon as possible."
Afraid that the two children would be hungry, Su Tangxue gave one of the two apples she brought to Gouwaer and Tuanzi.
At first, Aunt Huang wanted to let the little dumpling break in half and take half home for her brother, but Su Tangxue refused.
She had already given one to her brother just now, so this one should be given to Xiaotuanzi.
After saying goodbye to her two aunts, Su Tangxue went back.
When her father was still in the countryside, he would go to the county supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat, so he never had to worry about having meat to eat that month.
Thinking that the meat at home was almost gone, Su Tangxue rode her bicycle to the county early the next morning.
"Hello, are you looking for meat?"
Su Tangxue looked at the few pieces of poor quality meat left on the meat stall and shook her head.
"No, just give me two pounds of eggs and one pound of toffee."
"Okay, please wait."
Su Tangxue looked around and sighed helplessly. It seemed that she had to go to Binzi again.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't been here for a long time."
"It's been quite busy this month, so I haven't been in town as often. Do you have any pork left today?"
"There's still a small piece of pork left, enough for my sister-in-law to choose from."
"Take me to see it then."
Zhao Bin lifted the white cloth and saw a quarter of pork left on the chopping board, which was more than enough for her who only needed one pound of meat.
But an idea immediately came to her mind: this quarter of pork would be enough to feed the children.
"How much does this piece of meat weigh?"
"Ten kilograms, sister-in-law." Zhao Bin added, worried that Su Tangxue wouldn't understand, "Usually, schools set this standard for extra meals for children."
"How many meat tickets does this cost?"
Zhao Bin thought for a moment and said, "This piece of meat is lean. According to the market price, it's one meat ticket per pound. If you want it, sister-in-law, I can talk to the factory director and give you two fewer tickets."
After Zhao Bin finished speaking, he realized why Su Tangxue suddenly ordered so much meat?
Finished the bacon from last time?
"Sister-in-law, are you going to make bacon?"
"No, it's just that the choir kids I teach stayed at school for lunch, and I wanted to prepare something good for them so they can concentrate on training."
Su Tangxue really wanted to do that, but the difficulty in buying meat was the meat tickets. She had to buy so many at once. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel bad. But the money didn't matter, she could afford it.
"Sister-in-law, if you want more, you can go talk to the factory manager. He should be able to help you get a more favorable price."
Su Tangxueqing sighed, "It depends on the situation!"
After buying the meat, Su Tangxue went to the supply and marketing cooperative again. She almost forgot to buy flour.
Because of the addition of Aunt Huang and Aunt Wu, the food rations must be increased, otherwise there will not be enough to eat.
Tomorrow is the first day, so she will ask Aunt Huang to make pancakes and eat them with cornbread.
She would slowly figure out how to prepare meals later.
It would be best if those few children could eat meat so that they would have the strength to train and win awards for the school.
