The first ticket was numbered: 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, and 15.
Yu Yao made two types of canned beef, number three and number eleven, one original flavor and one braised flavor.
Original flavor canned beef is more universally appealing; adults, children, and the elderly can all enjoy it without any dietary restrictions. It is made entirely from large chunks of beef, slow-cooked over low heat until the meat is tender yet firm, juicy, and has a rich, savory flavor.
Original flavor canned beef can be eaten directly or used as a cooking ingredient, paired with potatoes and vermicelli to make various dishes.
Conversely, the braised flavor is on the sweeter side. If you don't like sweet food, you might not like it as much, but if you like sweet beef, you'll definitely love it.
"Ah Yao, what a great start! Both of your canned goods got the first vote." Fang Qiaoqiao happily tugged at Yu Yao.
Yu Yao was also very happy; this was a good omen.
Suddenly a voice came from the side, "Some people are just short-sighted. This is only the first vote, what's there to be so smug about?"
Yu Yao turned around and saw Wang Chuntao, with her daughter-in-law Zhao E sitting next to her.
Seeing Yu Yao looking over, Zhao E deliberately replied to Wang Chuntao, "Mom, you're right. The competition has only just begun, and the one who laughs last will be the winner. We can't be like those short-sighted people. We should be humble and low-key, or we might suffer the consequences."
“Squad Leader Wang, no, I should say former squad leader. I think your daughter-in-law is quite right. If Squad Leader Wang had known this earlier, he wouldn’t be a former squad leader today. I wonder if this counts as retribution.” Yu Yao casually tossed the topic back to Wang Chuntao with just a few words.
Fang Qiaoqiao added, "How can this not be considered retribution? After all, if Squad Leader Wang had been more humble and low-key, he wouldn't have lost his job as squad leader."
Yu Yao nodded. "Qiaoqiao, you're right. After all, the class monitor only gets a level four salary, which is fifty yuan a month. Now that he's suddenly gone, he's lost his job, and his daughter-in-law can only get a level one salary if she takes over. That's a loss of more than twenty yuan a month, and that's more than two hundred yuan a year."
Wang Chuntao and Zhao E, who were laughing, suddenly stopped laughing when they heard Yu Yao's words.
Hearing Yu Yao calculate the accounts made his heart bleed.
They were shocked when they calculated the amount of money they had lost. Their mood instantly soured.
Fang Qiaoqiao seemed worried that they didn't understand fully, so she deliberately asked Yu Yao, "A Yao, how much stuff can you buy with two hundred yuan?"
Yu Yao chimed in, "Two hundred yuan is enough to buy a Phoenix brand bicycle and there's still some left over. If you use it to buy pork, at eight mao per jin, two hundred yuan can buy more than three hundred jin of pork."
Fang Qiaoqiao made an exaggerated expression, "My God, they actually managed to buy so much meat. If it were me, I would be furious to lose so much money. You have to admit that Squad Leader Wang is shameless and ruthless. He can lose so much money and still come out to watch the game without any problem."
Yu Yao secretly gave Fang Qiaoqiao a thumbs-up, and Fang Qiaoqiao winked at her mischievously.
The two worked together seamlessly, routing the enemy and leaving them in disarray.
Lu Ze and Wu Huaiqing, standing to the side, had faint smiles in their eyes. No matter how much they made a fuss, they would always cover for them.
Wang Chuntao and Zhao E's expressions grew increasingly grim.
If the impact of 200 yuan is like a bullet, then the impact of over 300 jin of pork is like a bomb. The amount of money is still the same, but the loss sounds like it has increased tenfold.
When Zhao E thought about how much meat she had lost, she complained, "Mom, you were doing a good job. If it weren't for that Wan Xiaozhen, would you have lost your job as class monitor? Now look what happened, you tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead."
"You're blaming me now? If I hadn't given you the job, would your family, who only knows how to come over and beg for money, have let you get a job in a state-owned factory? Dream on. I don't know what my son was blind to marry such a jinx like you, which caused me to lose my job."
Wang Chuntao is used to being domineering at home. Even though she has lost her job, she is not someone her daughter-in-law can take advantage of.
Zhao E retorted disdainfully, "Mom, you need to get this straight. You lost your job not because of me, but because you were promiscuous and had an affair. Your aunt found out, so how dare you pin it on me?"
"Who are you calling a slut?" Wang Chuntao hated it most when people brought up this matter, and her face immediately changed.
Zhao E was afraid of Wang Chuntao because her family relied on Wang Chuntao's salary to make a living. Now that Wang Chuntao had lost her job and had to rely on Zhao E to support her, she naturally didn't give her a good look.
"Whoever cheated on their partner is the one we're talking about. The way people look at us when we go out now is all because of you. You're so old, don't you feel ashamed? I feel ashamed."
"I'll let you talk, I'll let you talk!" Wang Chuntao lunged forward and slapped him.
Yu Yao and Fang Qiaoqiao were looking at the vote when they suddenly heard someone behind them exclaim, "A fight has broken out!"
Looking back, Wang Chuntao and her daughter-in-law Zhao E were rolling around on the ground, fighting fiercely.
The two were fighting fiercely, pulling each other's hair and then their collars, exposing Wang Chuntao's chest, and they continued fighting.
The men around wanted to help, but they were too embarrassed to approach Wang Chuntao because of the exposed skin on her skin.
The security personnel finally managed to separate the two women. Wang Chuntao and Zhao E were both disheveled and looked at each other as if they were enemies.
This fight became the fuse, and in the days that followed, the Wang family was constantly in turmoil, with chaos and unrest never coming to an end.
After Wang Chuntao and Zhao E were asked to leave, Yu Yao and Fang Qiaoqiao finally had some peace and quiet, as the voting for the canned meat on stage was nearing its end.
Currently, the most voted canned food, besides Yu Yao No. 3 and No. 11, is Zhao E, which is Wang Chuntao's No. 7.
The two had very similar vote counts, with Yu Yao leading by three votes.
A total of forty-odd votes were read out, and almost half of them were for Yu Yao's two types of canned beef. Wang Chuntao's canned beef received three fewer votes than Yu Yao's.
Three votes isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either; whether they can catch up later remains to be seen.
Although Yu Yao disliked Wang Chuntao, it must be said that she did have some abilities.
As Fang Qiaoqiao listened to the host announce the votes, she checked the slip of paper in her hand to see if she had guessed correctly.
If she guesses correctly, you can hear her cheering softly. If she doesn't guess correctly, she's not discouraged and even cheers herself up. She's definitely a little sun in her personality.
There's only one vote left. Yu Yao's original flavor beef canned food and Wang Chuntao's braised beef canned food have almost the same number of votes, but the braised beef canned food has one less vote than Wang Chuntao's braised beef canned food.
After the host on stage finished reading the last ticket, the top five canned goods were revealed: number three, number seven, number eight, number eleven, and number fifteen.
Yu Yao's two canned goods received the most votes, totaling more than 60 votes. Her original flavor canned goods and braised canned goods won first and third place in meat canned goods with 47 and 42 votes respectively.
