Chapter 682 Popcorn



Having been doing business for several years, the village chief is very familiar with the ins and outs of the business, so there is no pressure in introducing it to Jianshu.

If I could trade it out, that was great; if I couldn't, that was fine too. The village's main focus every year was on the tofu and food stalls, so these things were just a sideshow.

"Comrades, you can take a look first. Come to me after you are sure. I will go and take care of some things first. If you have any problems, just go to Ai Min directly." The village chief smiled and introduced the two people before leaving. There was still a lot of things in the village waiting for him to coordinate.

"Goodbye, Village Chief." Jian Shu and the others smiled and watched him leave.

Suddenly, there were only two people left in the room, and they felt much more at ease. Jian Shu hated being stared at when she was shopping. It must be said that the village chief's behavior made her feel very comfortable.

When you are in a good mood, you will have a stronger desire to spend money.

Looking at the pile of "samples" on the table, Jian Shu turned around and asked, "The things in this village all look good. This is a rare opportunity. Should I buy some to take back?"

"Do you have enough receipts?" They have ordered so many soy products, and with the things here, they probably won't be enough.

Jian Shu leaned close to his ear and whispered, "If it's not enough, there's still room. I can just get something else to exchange."

Gu Mingjing pursed his lips and looked at her without saying a word, then got up and left.

The young man named Aimin was writing or drawing in the office next door. He noticed what they were doing and quickly asked, "Comrades, is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's okay, let's discuss it first. You can take care of your own things first." Gu Mingjing shook his head.

"Okay, comrade, call me if you have any problems." After saying that, he sat back down and continued working.

The entrance to the village committee is very empty and is some distance away from other houses, so anyone who comes can see it the first time.

Gu Mingjing walked to a place about 20 meters away from the village committee and stopped.

Jian Shu knew he was angry, so she approached him and acted coquettishly, "Oh, this is the last time. This is the biggest market before the New Year. You'll have to wait a year for the next one. If you miss this one, you'll have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and fight with others if you want to buy."

"No, taking out too much food at once will attract too much attention. Also, you said before that this was the last time? How many last times are there?" Gu Mingjing still disagreed.

"I don't need food. I've stocked up on a lot of daily necessities, including soap, perfumed soap, and towels. They're all defective items that the people in this village will definitely need. I also have oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar." Jian Shu spoke quickly, pulling on his sleeve and acting coquettishly. "I didn't expect this. It's a rare opportunity. Just agree to it, okay?"

Gu Mingjing sighed deeply, "Forget about these things. Take some soybeans and exchange them for tofu. Just say it's from relatives. For the other things, use bills to exchange. That should be enough."

It's not that he's easy to compromise, it's just that Jianshu trusts him and tells him this secret. He doesn't want to restrict her too much under the banner of doing it for her own good.

What he should do is to fill in the gaps in her ideas, not restrict her in various ways.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Jianshu didn't know how he figured it out, but still responded happily.

Soon they returned to the office.

Then Jianshu began to pick and choose. "This sweet potato vermicelli is good, give me five pounds. You like blood sausage, give me more. I'll give you a few sticky rice dumplings to taste..."

"I don't need the homespun cloth. I bought a lot six months ago and still have plenty. I don't need chicken or duck eggs either. I have them at home. Forget the Thousand Layer Sole soles. I don't wear them that often..."

"The mountain products are okay, but order less. The wild ginseng looks good too. I'll buy some to make some wine..."

After the two of them agreed on what to exchange, they walked next door without disturbing the village chief. They paid the deposit, agreed on the delivery time, and left.

As people leave the market, new people join in and the scene remains lively.

The two were strolling slowly when they suddenly heard a loud "bang" and Jianshu was startled.

Gu Mingjing quickly covered her ears and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw a crowded crowd of adults and children huddled together, covering their ears with excited smiles on their faces.

He released his hand and said, "There's popcorn over there, do you want some?"

"I want to!" Jianshu's eyes sparkled.

Popcorn, freshly popped popcorn, she has never eaten it!

"Let's go and take a look!"

Jianshu was now at the back of the crowd, standing on tiptoe and trying to reach inside, but was completely blocked by the people in front of him. He could not see anything and could only smell the aroma of popcorn.

Gu Mingjing looked helpless, but he couldn't pick her up in public, so he had to find a more spacious place and squeeze her in. During this time, he heard complaints from others, but he could only smile apologetically.

As I came in, a new pot of popcorn was almost ready, and the middle-aged man popping the popcorn shouted, "It's popping!"

Hearing his reminder, Jianshu quickly covered his ears with his hands. Gu Mingjing was a step slower and had to retract his hands to cover his ears.

Although he had heard louder noises before, it was not a bad thing to spare his ears a little pain.

With a loud "bang", the white popcorn came out of the oven steaming hot.

Jianshu took a deep breath and was so greedy that his saliva was almost flowing out.

People around were waiting with bags in their hands, some were popping corn, some were popping rice. The children around were eagerly waiting, and as soon as their own popcorn was ready, they would secretly take one or two out of the bag to satisfy their cravings.

Only children make choices. Jianshu is a mature adult, so of course he chooses to take them all.

Holding the freshly baked popcorn, she took a deep breath, "Ah - it smells so good!"

Gu Mingjing looked at him with amusement and said maliciously, "Wake up, your saliva is almost flowing out!"

Jianshu wiped his chin reflexively, not feeling anything, and then frowned and said, "You lied to me! I won't give you any popcorn!" Then he snatched the other popcorn from his hand.

"Humph, do you think I'm as greedy as you?"

"If you have the guts, just don't eat it!" Jianshu angrily stuffed a handful of popcorn into his mouth, ate it with relish, and smacked his lips deliberately, trying to make him greedy to death.

Originally, Gu Mingjing wasn't very greedy, but seeing her like this, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Is it really that delicious?

He was also shameless. He ignored what he had just said and leaned forward to ask, "Wife, let me have a taste."

"Hmph! No way!" Jian Shu dodged to the side and held the popcorn in his arms even tighter.

"Give it or not?"

“No!”

“…”

"Damn it! You actually stole food!"

"What do you mean by stealing? I clearly took it openly and honestly with my own ability!"

“…”
