Chapter 184 Defective Products
The pheasant is braised with dried wild mushrooms.
In the middle of the table was a large pot of braised pheasant, which made the whole family stare in amazement.
The mother and son had dinner at Liu's house before returning home.
When I got home, I happened to meet Gu Cheng who was going to Liujia Village to pick someone up.
"Have you eaten?" Liu Yinyin asked him.
"No." Gu Cheng took Gu Yanyan down. He didn't cook because he was not sure whether Liu Yinyin and her son would come back for dinner.
Fortunately, there is electricity at home, so it doesn’t matter if I eat a little later.
"Are you hungry?" Liu Yinyin came in with a basket. It was almost dark. "Yanyan and I have already eaten. You can have a bowl of noodles. I brought you some vegetables."
She packed a portion of braised pheasant in a lunch box.
Gu Cheng opened the lunch box and saw a box full of braised pheasant. He asked in surprise, "Did they go to the mountains?"
Liu Yinyin nodded: "What luck, there happened to be a pheasant in the trap."
In addition to the braised pheasant, Liu Yinyin also packed a basket of vegetables.
Forty-two eggs, a handful of Chinese cabbage, a handful of cowpeas, a handful of leeks, okra, eggplant, cucumber, and a handful of fresh sweet potato leaves.
She can also pick the sweet potato leaves from the sweet potato field in her yard and use them to cook vegetables.
She didn't plan to go to Liujia Village in the next few days.
Liu Yinyin is quite satisfied with the current situation. Now, the family doesn't need to buy vegetables.
Moreover, there are so many vegetables that we cannot finish them all in one go.
The next day, after breakfast, Liu Yinyin packed twenty eggs, a handful of leeks and a few cucumbers.
He took Gu Yanyan to find Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou also had several grandchildren, but they were all quite old, so she sent them to school.
People in the city have money and usually send their children to school.
Unlike in the countryside, people in the city attach great importance to their children's studies. Learning more knowledge will help them find jobs in the future.
Otherwise, most jobs in the city are per capita, and their children can directly take over their adults' jobs in the future.
Only with good academic performance can you be assigned to a better position in the future.
Therefore, living in the city, Gu Yanyan couldn't find any playmates.
City dwellers generally have jobs and do not have time to take care of their children, so even if their children cannot go to school, they will be sent to daycare centers.
Gu Yanyan is still young, and Liu Yinyin does not plan to send him to nursery so early. She will have to wait until he is at least three years old.
Otherwise, it would be easy for him to be bullied. Such a young child can't even speak clearly and can't say anything when he is bullied.
Gu Yanyan has a chubby appearance and is especially popular among the elderly.
Aunt Zhou washed a small apple and gave it to Gu Yanyan with a smile.
The little guy held Apple and glanced at Liu Yinyin.
Liu Yinyin often told him not to eat food from strangers, and Gu Yanyan more or less understood this imperceptibly.
Liu Yinyin touched his little head and taught him to say, "Why don't you thank grandma?"
Gu Yanyan was delighted and said in a baby voice, "Thank you... Grandma."
"So well behaved." Aunt Zhou couldn't help but praise, "Yinyin, you really know how to teach children."
If it were any other child, who would be able to resist the temptation when seeing something delicious?
Just like her grandchildren, whenever there is something delicious at home, they act like little bandits.
No matter where Aunt Zhou hid, they would find her out.
"I only do this in front of strangers." Liu Yinyin smiled, thinking about her purpose, and said, "Auntie, I brought a basket of vegetables from the countryside yesterday. I'll give you some."
Aunt Zhou happily accepted the things and said, "You can't take it for free this time. I'll pay for it from you, okay?"
I just harvested a basket of sweet potatoes from someone else, so how could I ask for more vegetables from them, especially when there are so many eggs.
They are all valuable things.
Aunt Zhou didn't have many defective items left, so she thought it would be more convenient to buy them with her own money.
Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to pay for the leeks and cucumbers. Just give me the money you paid for the eggs."
Liu Yinyin sells eggs at 2.5 yuan per pound, which is 50 cents cheaper than Aunt Li's.
Local chicken eggs are small, and twenty eggs weigh only a little over two kilograms.
Liu Yinyin took five yuan from Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou's sons and daughters-in-law all have jobs, and she also makes matchboxes at home to supplement the family income.
The family conditions were good, and Aunt Zhou didn't have to spend money on food.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, she already has one foot in the coffin. If she doesn't eat now, when will she eat?
Aunt Zhou actually had something to do today. If Liu Yinyin hadn't come to see her just now, she would have been out by now.
Since Liu Yinyin was here, Aunt Zhou asked her, "I heard from my daughter-in-law that a new batch of supplies will arrive at the department store today, so I plan to go check it out. Do you want to go with us?"
Her young daughter-in-law works in a department store, so she will definitely know when supplies arrive before anyone else.
After a pause, Aunt Zhou whispered to her: "Not only are there new supplies, but there are also defective ones..."
In fact, Aunt Zhou's main purpose of going to the department store is to buy some useful defective products to keep.
Defective items do not require tickets and are cheap, so you can keep them for your own use or exchange them for other supplies.
Liu Yinyin immediately became interested when she heard this: "Go, Auntie, I'll go back and get some money and tickets."
Living in the county town, there was no one to help look after the children, so Liu Yinyin had to take Gu Yanyan with her wherever she went.
The workers' compound is a bit far from the department store, and it takes half an hour to walk there.
The weather was hot, and people walked slowly in the scorching heat, so Liu Yinyin pushed her bicycle out.
Let the kid sit on the back of the bike.
Aunt Zhou's younger daughter-in-law sells fabrics in a department store.
When the two arrived at the department store, Aunt Zhou's daughter-in-law was already waiting at the door.
"Mom, why did you come just now? Almost all the things have been snatched away." Bai Jing was getting anxious waiting for her mother-in-law.
There are a lot of people working in the department store, and today Aunt Zhou is not the only one whose family came to buy defective goods.
Every time new supplies arrive at a department store, a portion of the merchandise is reserved for internal consumption, which is considered a benefit for the store's salespeople.
Only then did Liu Yinyin realize that...it must be her who delayed Aunt Zhou from going out.
Aunt Zhou didn't react much. She said calmly, "Okay, take us in quickly."
Bai Jing also saw Liu Yinyin, and knowing that she often brought food home, she didn't say anything.
He was quite polite to Liu Yinyin.
Bai Jing took the two people to the warehouse, where there were not many people.
Aunt Zhou came late today, and many people had already finished their shopping and left.
There were few defective products left in the warehouse, all piled on a large table.
Everything was turned upside down.
There are cloths, towels, bowls, cups...
All sorts of things were scattered on the table.
Aunt Zhou looked down on these things.
