Chapter 84: Pork Belly, Defective Cloth



"Nian Nian, Rou Rou is here!"

"Sister Nian, our Rourou is waving at me!"

"Rou Rou! I'm coming!"

Seeing that they both said something extremely excitedly, Su Nian also cooperated with them and got excited.

"Line up! Line up! Come one by one! The five people in front, go in first!" The staff wearing red armbands who were maintaining order shouted in a cold and arrogant voice.

Shanzi, Daqing, Su Nian, Qin Yulin, and Qin Yuxian were all in the front row, and Sun Yanyan was outside the five people.

"Swallow! You go in first!" Su Nian pulled Sun Yanyan to the front and said.

In terms of fighting power, Sun Yanyan is a weakling. If there is an emergency and she can't handle it, it would be best to let her go in first.

"You all go in! I'll be behind!" Qin Yulin went around to the back and exchanged positions with Sun Yanyan.

"Hurry up! Don't waste time! We're still waiting!"

The delay was less than a minute, and the people behind were getting anxious.

Without saying a word, Su Nian pulled Sun Yanyan into the supply and marketing cooperative and went straight to the pork counter.

"I want the fat one! Here!"

"I want fat ones too!"

Daqing and Shanzi took out their household registration certificates and asked the salesperson to give them the fattest piece of cake. They gestured and talked to the salesperson.

One of the salesmen sitting at the table found a corner of their household registration booklet and stamped a small stamp, and the salesman in charge of cutting the meat began to cut the meat.

After the two of them finished cutting the meat, Su Nian and the others came up, stamped the same spot, and then started cutting the meat.

"Pork belly! Here!" Su Nian imitated them and said to the salesperson.

"I want one too!"

"We both want pork belly!"

Su Nian doesn't want pure fat meat, because it can only be refined into oil and cannot be eaten!

"Braised pork belly is the best! Only you young educated youth know how to eat it!" said the salesperson, cutting a pound of pork belly for each of them.

"Beautiful sister can tell that we are educated youth?" Su Nian asked with a smile.

"Even if you female educated youth are dressed the same as the other members of the commune, you have a different energy!" The salesperson was overjoyed when Su Nian called her "beautiful sister" and said with a smile.

"Beautiful sister, you have a good eye!" Su Nian couldn't help but praise her more.

When you go out, it’s always a good idea to say more good things!

"By the way! Big sister, the supply and marketing cooperative still has some defective cloth that doesn't require a ticket today. If you need it, you can take this opportunity to grab some! To say they are defects is just a few loose threads and the grain is a little off, but they're still fine!" The saleswoman whispered to Su Nian.

"Oh! Thank you, beautiful sister! We'll go after cutting the meat!" Su Nian didn't expect that there would be such a nice word and an unexpected surprise, so she said quickly.

The saleswoman smiled, cut the meat for Su Nian and the others quickly and efficiently, and weighed it. After Su Nian and the others paid, they thanked her and left, going to the cloth counter.

"What kind of cloth do you want to buy?" The saleswoman at the cloth counter asked casually with an indifferent look.

At this time, there was no one in front of the counter. Everyone was lining up to grab the meat. Only Su Nian and the other three came over carrying pork.

"Aren't there defective cloths today?" Su Nian looked at the cloths on the shelves in the counter and asked with a smile.

"How did you know?" the salesperson was a little surprised.

"Director Huang said so!" Su Nian pouted and muttered softly.

"Oh! Then you wait! I'll get it!" After the salesperson said that, he ran into the warehouse.

After a while, several pieces of cloth were brought out, including Dacron, cotton, and other fabrics.

"I took out the best colored cloth in the warehouse! Especially this flannel, it's perfect for making pants!

Our supply and marketing cooperative only has this one piece! Eight yuan a meter! Dacron cloth is one yuan and a half a foot! No tickets needed! Cotton cloth is eighty-three-and-a-half a foot! Which one do you want?"

"It's so expensive, will people still rush to buy it?" Sun Yanyan couldn't help but marvel when she heard the price.

Is such precious material so popular in this small town?

"Don't underestimate our town. There are plenty of people here who want to grab this cloth, but they're just holding it back and not releasing it right away. Otherwise, it would have been gone long ago! If it were in the county, they'd have been snatched up before the night was over!"

"I want three feet of flannel, and five feet of dacron! Five feet of cotton!"

"That's perfect. You can make a pair of pants and two shirts! You can wear them next spring!" said the salesperson with a smile. She was now very patient with Su Nian and the others.

"I just want one meter of Fanli Ding!" Sun Yanyan said after considering it.

She planned to make a pair of pants to wear next year. As for Dacron, it was too expensive, so she gave up.

"I want ten feet of Dacron! One meter of Venetian! No cotton!" Qin Yuxian said with a smile.

In this way, Su Nian spent 19.675 yuan, Sun Yanyan spent 8 yuan, and Qin Yuxian spent the most, 23 yuan, to buy clothing fabrics for her and Qin Yulin.

Seeing that the three of them were willing to spend money, the salesperson at the cloth counter became even more enthusiastic towards them.

The three of them bought the cloth and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative with smiles on their faces.

Qin Yulin had already bought the meat and was waiting outside the door. When he saw them come out, he walked over.

"Why did you just come out?"

"Brother! Let's go buy fabric that doesn't require a ticket!"

Qin Yuxian whispered to Qin Yulin.

"Well! Let's go!" Qin Yulin looked at the cloth in their hands and nodded.

The four of them had now bought the meat and the cloth, and they didn't need anything else, so they went out.

"Su Zhiqing, Qin Zhiqing, have you all bought meat?" Halfway through the journey, Chen Yu, who was looking around in the team, saw Su Nian and the others and greeted them with a smile.

"Yes! We bought it! Why are you queuing so far? Are we late?" Sun Yanyan looked at Chen Yu and the others, then at the queue in front, and asked with a smile.

"We got up before three o'clock and rushed here, but now we're not here until after five o'clock!" Chen Yu said a little embarrassedly.

"Oh! We came here yesterday and stayed here all night!" Sun Yanyan sighed.

"Ah? No way? Trying so hard!" Du Xingfang exclaimed.

"Oh my God, it's so cold, and you actually squatted all night to buy a pound of meat! This is what you are like!!" Li Na said, giving a thumbs up to Su Nian and the others.

"I thought I worked really hard! But seeing this high-quality pork belly, I think it was worth it!" Sun Yanyan said, shaking the pork belly in her hand in front of them.

"Why don't you want the fat? You can extract a lot of oil from it!" Chen Yu asked, looking at the pork belly in their hands with eyes full of heartache.

"Isn't the braised pork delicious? Why squeeze out the oil?" Qin Yuxian said with a smile.

"If it were me, I would definitely want the fat!" said Chen Yu.

"Young man, you don't know how to live! If you don't manage a household, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. You don't want the fat meat when you are in the front row. Alas! It's really..."

"Yeah! Buy a few pounds of fat meat and squeeze out the oil to last for days!"

The aunties from the same village looked at Su Nian and the others carrying pork belly, and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

When they cook, they put oil in the pot without any oil droplets. They just need to dip something in it and wipe the bottom of the pot. It will definitely be enough to eat for many days.

If this fell into the hands of Su Nian and the others, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the same...
