The two went to the state-owned store, which was the only place that sold pork.
The town is not big and the state-owned store is just a few steps away.
There are quite a lot of people in the town today, most of them gathered here to buy things, because the goods here are the most complete in the town.
Tian Xiaolan also squeezed in from behind and came to the crowded pork stall.
Most of the pork on the chopping board was lean meat that had not been sold. Tian Xiaolan had some idea about this from watching TV dramas. Because people nowadays work harder, they will have no strength if they don't eat some oily food to replenish their energy. In modern times, if they eat a few more pieces of fat, they will choke and lose their appetite.
When she came over just now, she saw someone fighting for it. Coincidentally, there was only one piece of pork left on the chopping board. Tian Xiaolan said, "Boss, I want that piece of fat!"
Wang Cuihua hadn't expected to run into Tian Xiaolan when she came out to improve her diet. She was so unlucky: "Oh, I was wondering who it was! It turned out to be you, you idiot! How did you get the money to buy meat? Did you steal it?"
"I got here first, Master, give it to me quickly!"
Wang Cuihua became anxious when she heard her words. She rushed over and held the piece of meat, staring at it intently. "No, who knows where her money came from. Master, don't sell it to her! Sell it to me!"
Seeing that she was so big, the chef was afraid that she would knock over the chopping board, so he picked up the knife and pointed it at her.
Wang Cuihua saw the knife and stopped in her tracks, staring at him intently: "Old man, you must sell it to me today!"
She was swallowing her saliva as she looked at the piece of meat, staring at the bright red meat as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.
Wang Cuihua's greedy eyes were fixed on the meat, and she didn't dare to blink, for fear that the meat would disappear if she was not careful.
The man who was called old man had a head full of black hair and looked middle-aged. He felt uncomfortable being called that.
The man pulled the meat back and said, "I won't sell it to you. Get out of here!"
Wang Cuihua said sarcastically, "Why? This shop is not yours."
Tian Xiaolan: "I'll go first, first come first served, okay?"
Wang Cuihua put her hands on her hips and roared, "I don't care! I got here early, and you have to sell me this meat today!"
"You want money? I'll give it to you!" Wang Cuihua was determined to get this piece of meat. She took out ten yuan from her pocket, threw it to him, and then picked up the meat and ran away.
Xing Yifei raised his hand, grabbed the clothes by the back of her neck, and pulled Wang Cuihua back as she was running away.
She felt a powerful force, and she was thrown back uncontrollably. The collar was squeezing her neck tightly, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She grabbed the collar tightly with both hands and pulled it down hard, trying to relieve the uncomfortable feeling of restraint.
The people around her saw her face turn red and told him to let go.
Xing Yifei ignored everyone's advice. He pried Wang Cuihua's hand open with force, took back the piece of meat she had snatched away, and threw it back onto the chopping board accurately.
The piece of meat fell on the chopping board with a dull "pop" sound, but it was still intact. No one dared to touch the meat again.
Tian Xiaolan realized that if they continued to make trouble, something might happen, so she said to him, "Let go."
Xing Yifei let go of his hand and shook it in the air in disgust.
At this time, Wang Cuihua was breathing heavily and touching her red neck with her hand, her eyes full of fear and anger.
She glared at Xing Yifei fiercely, as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes.
Xing Yifei looked at her indifferently. If she dared to come over and do anything to Tian Xiaolan, he would not show mercy.
The people around began to whisper and talk. Some accused Wang Cuihua of snatching the meat, while others felt that Xing Yifei's behavior was a bit excessive.
But all these words were filtered out, Tian Xiaolan said: "If it weren't for you, our meat would have been snatched away by her!"
"There's no way I'll let her take it away from me."
"Boss, can you sell us the meat now?"
After this incident, those people also saw how powerful Xing Yifei was and dared not speak out.
The man returned the money to Wang Cuihua. Wang Cuihua knew that she couldn't snatch it away from him, so she used the money to buy some lean meat. It was better than nothing. Tian Xiaolan and Xing Yifei will wait for me one day and I will make them kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Here you go."
Xing Yifei paid for the meat and took it. He looked at her and said, "Would you like to buy anything else?"
"Give me another piece of lean meat!" Tian Xiaolan pointed to a piece of meat.
The man pointed at the piece of meat and asked, "This? Can you finish it?"
Xing Yifei smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're going to treat you!"
"Oh, a total of ten dollars and fifty cents." The man counted the bill and said to him.
Xing Yifei paid the money, and while he was getting the change, he put down the backpack and asked the man for a piece of newspaper to put the meat in, and held the vegetables in his hands to prevent the smell from mixing.
Tian Xiaolan saw that the bottom of the backpack was fine, but the top was a little deformed. Tian Xiaolan lifted one side of the backpack, and Xing Yifei also picked up the two straps and put them on his back. The backpack looked particularly small on Xing Yifei's back.
After walking for a while, Tian Xiaolan said, "Is it heavy? Let me get the vegetables!"
She reached out to grab it without saying a word, but Xing Yifei seemed to have anticipated it. He raised his arm and held the dish high up, making it impossible for Tian Xiaolan to reach it.
Tian Xiaolan was not willing to give up. She jumped and tried to grab the vegetables, but Xing Yifei was too tall and she jumped several times in vain.
His eyes were fixed on the food, and he was still mumbling, "Give it to me quickly!"
Xing Yifei laughed: "I'm not tired. I'll get it for you when I can't carry it anymore. What else do you want to buy?"
Xing Yifei looked at Tian Xiaolan like this and thought she was so cute. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a doting smile.
Tian Xiaolan tried many times but failed to reach the food, so she wanted to get it even more. She jumped so many times that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and her face turned red from the effort.
She couldn't dance anymore, so since he was happy with it, she let him do it.
Tian Xiaolan found a flat place and sat down to rest.
Xing Yifei said to her, "When you're tired, sit down and your butt will get bigger!"
Tian Xiaolan was a little surprised: "How do you know? I just want to sit down, why do you care so much?"
She wouldn't listen to him. The ground was so flat, it was just for her to sit on.
Xing Yifei was helpless. Seeing that she didn't move, he thought his brothers would be here soon. He had bought some vegetables, but hadn't bought the onions, ginger, garlic and other ingredients yet.
Seeing that she wouldn't get up for a while, Xing Yifei said to her, "You sit here and rest first. I'll go buy the ingredients. Don't wander around. I'll be back soon."
For some reason, Tian Xiaolan thought of the article about buying oranges. You are here, I will go buy some oranges and come back soon. She found it a little funny.
Xing Yifei saw that her eyes curved into two crescents, the corners of her mouth turned up, and her laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, echoing in the air. He was also infected by it and smiled.
