"Can we move in today if everything's ready? Or should we buy some more meat?"
The two foodies immediately agreed and headed to the meat stall. Unfortunately, they arrived too late, and all the good meat was sold out, leaving only large bones, offal, and entrails.
"Brother, is there no other meat?"
Zhou Yue likes to eat big pieces of meat and has no interest in these fishy and smelly things; she'd rather eat radishes and greens.
"They're all gone. If you want to eat good meat, you'll have to come earlier next time."
Selling meat is a cushy job these days. Not only can you keep the best cuts for your own family, but you can also take the leftover parts home cheaply. It's still a decent meal, so he doesn't care whether the two young girls in front of him want to buy from him.
"How about we come again next time?"
Zhou Yue felt frustrated because she had money and tickets but couldn't spend them.
Just as they were about to leave, Gu An'an spoke up, "I want all of these things. How much?"
"An'an, are you crazy? This thing smells terrible, how can we eat it?"
Not only does it smell bad, it's also very ugly.
"It's okay, I can handle it."
The butcher didn't expect Gu An'an to actually buy it, and immediately told him the price, which was indeed much cheaper than other cuts of meat.
Once everyone agreed, Gu An'an took out her money and paid, then pulled Zhou Yue back home.
Although she really didn't want to eat those things, Zhou Yue still took out some money and gave it to Gu An'an, thinking that the two of them were going to eat together.
"No need, you paid for all the seasonings just now."
Since things had come to this point, Zhou Yue didn't say anything more. She put away the money and realized that she hadn't bought the most important thing.
“We still need to buy a pot, and luckily I have some industrial vouchers here.”
Zhou Yue quickly scrambled back, and returned a moment later with a long face. "There's no stock! What are we going to do? Are we going to have to eat together over there again?"
"Wait here for me, I'll go to the post office to see if there are any packages."
Zhou Yue was still in a daze when Gu An'an left, leaving her only a basket of things.
Qin Xue and her friends were also at the supply and marketing cooperative, but unlike Gu Zhou and the others who had money and could take what they wanted directly, they dawdled around, which annoyed several receiving clerks and left them feeling quite frustrated.
Seeing that Gu An'an had left Zhou Yue alone, Qin Xue immediately perked up.
"Sister Zhou Yue, I told you that Gu An'an was only after your money. Making you pay is one thing, but how could she dump such a heavy thing on you? If you were willing to be with us..."
Qin Xue only saw Zhou Yue taking out money to buy seasonings, but didn't see Gu An'an taking out money to buy meat, and thought that she had stirred up trouble at the right time.
Do you know why I went to the countryside?
