Chapter 199 Zhang Xiaowan

Liu Yinyin kept five pounds of goat meat for herself. It was quite cold now, and the mutton would not go bad if it was kept for a day or two.

Ten kilograms of mutton were given to the Liu family. There were many people in the Liu family, and if less was given, it would not be enough for them to eat.

There was also some dirty stuff, so Liu Yinyin asked Liu Mingyuan to take it to the Liu family.

There wasn't much dirt on the sheep, so she was too lazy to make it salty.

After Liu Mingyuan left, Liu Yinyin chopped a few sheep bones and stewed them in the pot with the mutton.

I threw a few thick matches into the stove and let the mutton stew in the pot.

It would take her at least an hour to go to the county town and back, and the firewood in the stove was more than enough to burn.

Liu Yinyin put the remaining mutton into the backpack tied to the back seat of the bicycle and covered the backpack with a layer of gauze.

I first went to Liu's house to say hello to Jiang Cuihua and asked her to help take care of Gu Yanyan.

Afterwards, Liu Yinyin rode her bicycle to the county town.

This time she came to do serious business, so Liu Yinyin went directly to Aunt Li.

Surprisingly, the person who opened the door this time was not Aunt Li, but a young man in his twenties.

The young man looked somewhat similar to Aunt Li. Liu Yinyin guessed...this man should be Aunt Li's son.

Seeing the other party looking at her suspiciously.

Liu Yinyin took the initiative to say: "...Hello, comrade, I want to exchange something with Aunt Li."

I heard that he came to exchange things.

Li Chunshan slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "My mother has gone out for something and will be back tomorrow morning."

After that, he asked Liu Yinyin: "What do you want to exchange for?"

Liu Yinyin was stunned for a moment before she said, "...I brought some mutton to exchange for food."

Now that I'm here, I can't take the things back. Aunt Li is not here, but Li Chunshan is her son, so it's the same if I do business with him.

mutton?

Li Chunshan was startled when he heard this. Seeing the black goat meat in Liu Yinyin's basket, he asked in surprise, "Did you hunt it in the mountains?"

Liu Yinyin said vaguely: "We are lucky to have encountered a wounded wild goat. But don't worry, the mutton is absolutely fresh!"

Li Chunshan had traveled extensively for many years, so he could tell this. He went back to his room and got out a large scale.

There were a little over eighty-nine pounds of mutton.

It seemed that Li Chunshan had been busy with the family business. He asked Liu Yinyin, "Do you want to exchange for coarse grains or fine grains?"

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "Let's switch to half white flour and half corn flour."

It's not that there are no conditions at home. Gu Yanyan is still young, and Liu Yinyin tries her best to feed him white flour.

Li Chunshan thought for a moment and told Liu Yinyin: "Food prices have risen. If you want to exchange, you can only exchange this mutton for 50 kilograms of white flour and 50 kilograms of cornmeal."

Affected by the locust plague, as expected, food prices have risen again. Of course, meat prices are also rising, but not as dramatically as grain prices.

According to the current market conditions, the price of 90 kilograms of mutton is definitely higher than 50 kilograms of flour and 50 kilograms of cornmeal.

But they are also businessmen and cannot do business without making money.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

So much mutton can only be exchanged for 100 kilograms of food, which is indeed a bit too little. Liu Yinyin feels quite disappointed.

After thinking for a while, she decided to sell only half of the mutton in exchange for 25 kilograms of white flour and 25 kilograms of cornmeal.

As for the rest... I will sell them directly to the system later, and then smuggle some food out of the system. This way it will be more cost-effective.

Seeing that she had changed her mind, Li Chunshan didn't say much.

This girl doesn't look like someone who is short of money, and she probably has enough food to eat.

After leaving Aunt Li's house, Liu Yinyin went to the workers' compound and sold the grain to the system. Then, she bought 25 kilograms of rice and 25 kilograms of cornmeal from the system.

By doing this, Liu Yinyin actually earned about two thousand yuan.

There is no way. In later generations, beef and mutton are much more expensive than flour and rice.

What’s more, they are wild goats hunted from the mountains.

No matter what, Liu Yinyin is sure to make a profit this time.

With a bicycle, you can bring back 100 kilograms of food.

Liu Yinyin didn't stay long and packed up her things to go back.

After going out, she glanced at the time. It was almost time for Gu Cheng to get off work.

Liu Yinyin thought about it and turned her bike in another direction. Since she was already here, she might as well go to the steel factory and wait for Gu Cheng to get off work together.

"...Are you here to see Deputy Factory Director Gu?" Although he had only been here once, the security guard recognized Liu Yinyin at a glance and knew that she was Gu Cheng's daughter-in-law.

Liu Yinyin smiled shyly: "I'll wait here for him to get off work and go home together. Is that okay?"

"Of course no problem." The security guard looked as if he understood, and without asking any more questions, he let Liu Yinyin go into the house and sit for a while.

When it was time to get off work, people swarmed out of the factory.

The steel plant is a large one with high wages and good benefits.

There were quite a few people riding bicycles in the factory, and for a moment, Liu Yinyin was almost dazzled.

Fortunately, the security guard helped him find someone.

Gu Cheng is a man of high character and different from others, so it is not that difficult to find him.

As soon as Gu Cheng went out, he heard someone calling him.

Turning around, he saw Liu Yinyin standing not far away and waving at him with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Gu Cheng walked quickly to her side, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Liu Yinyin smiled and was about to speak when suddenly...

"Director Gu!" A female comrade in her twenties came over.

The lesbian had short hair, fair skin, and was thin, but she looked in good spirits.

Gu Cheng saw the person coming and said calmly, "Comrade Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?"

Zhang Xiaowan had nothing to do at all, but she suddenly ran into Gu Cheng and called him subconsciously.

Hearing him ask this, Zhang Xiaowan shook her head a little awkwardly, then smiled sweetly and said, "I'm fine, I just saw you here and came over to say hello."

Gu Cheng nodded, then turned to Liu Yinyin and said, "Let's go."

Liu Yinyin: “…Oh.”

"Comrade, are you also a worker in the factory?" Zhang Xiaowan couldn't help but ask when she saw the two of them were so close.

Liu Yinyin glanced at her thoughtfully: "I'm not from the factory."

"Then why did you come here? Strangers are not allowed to come to the steel factory." Zhang Xiaowan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Liu Yinyin say that she was not a worker at the steel factory.

However, before she could be happy, she heard Liu Yinyin say, "Is it not okay for me to come home with my lover?"

At this time, married people would call each other "lover" in public. When Liu Yinyin said this, she also made clear the relationship between her and Gu Cheng.

Perhaps she hadn't expected that the two of them had this kind of relationship, Zhang Xiaowan said in shock: "You...your lover?"

Liu Yinyin nodded: "Why, is there any problem?"

"No...no problem." Zhang Xiaowan knew that Gu Cheng was already married.
