He took out two apples from his pocket and quietly stuffed them into the counter. He whispered to the waiter, "Comrade, I need to go out to do something, but it's freezing outside, and my wife is pregnant, so it's really not suitable for her to stay out all the time. Can you let my wife and child stay here for a while?"
The waitress looked at the two oversized red apples on the counter. Without even weighing them, she could tell they weighed at least half a kilogram. Her eyes lit up, and she glanced at the clock on the wall. Then, with a cough, she said, "You have to leave before one o'clock in the afternoon."
Chu Tian glanced at the time and found that it was not yet eleven o'clock. Hearing this, he smiled and nodded, "Of course, of course. Thank you, comrade."
After saying this, he turned around, settled Yao Xiujuan and her son, picked up the empty backpack and walked out.
The waiter took advantage of Chu Tian and got a big apple for free. Seeing that Yao Xiujuan and her son were sitting obediently on the chairs, he thought for a moment and got two bowls of mutton soup left over from the kitchen and served them to them.
"This is for you to drink."
Yao Xiujuan stood up stiffly, "How can this be so embarrassing?"
The waiter was very nice because he got an apple. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's just a bowl of soup. Just drink it..."
Seeing this, Yao Xiujuan said to Wu Ya, "Wu Ya, thank your sister..."
Wu Ya said sweetly, "Thank you, sister..."
Married women all like to be called "sister" by children, and the waitress is no exception. When she saw Wu Ya calling her "sister", she felt even better and said with a smile on her face, "Hey, this child is so cute..."
After saying that, she turned happily back to the counter. She wanted to take one of the two apples back to her parents' home and eat the other one with her husband and children.
Chu Tian took out five kilograms of flour, rice and noodles from the space, put on pockmarked makeup and came to the black market he went to last time. At the entrance of the black market, Chu Tian saw that the man collecting protection money was a strange man, not Li Gang he saw last time. He felt a little sorry, but he didn't ask too much. Anyway, he would come here often in the future and would meet him sooner or later.
Let’s talk about it next time we see each other.
The things Chu Tian brought were all high-quality items, and he sold a lot of them in a short time. After going back and forth a few times, Chu Tian estimated that he had made two or three hundred yuan, so he stopped.
Greed is insatiable, so Chu Tian would not sell too much at a time, for fear of attracting attention. Besides, compared with the average worker's salary of only 20 or 30 yuan a month, he could earn almost a year's salary in one go, which was really not a small amount.
He found a secret place and took out a few big apples, a kilogram of brown sugar, a kilogram of noodles, a roast duck, a bag of milk candy, a bag of unpackaged milk powder for pregnant women and a bag of unpackaged milk powder for children, and about two kilograms of red dates and put them into the backpack. After thinking for a while, he took a few pork bones and strode towards the state-owned restaurant.
Originally, Chu Tian wanted to take some beef shanks. Perhaps because livestock are not fed with feed nowadays, cattle take a long time to be raised, so fewer are slaughtered than pigs and sheep. It is also possible that cattle are now the main and strongest auxiliary for farming, and people are reluctant to slaughter them. Therefore, in the state-owned butcher shop in the regiment, pork and mutton are sold every two days, but beef is really rare, and can only be found a few times a year.
"Daddy, you're back..."
Wu Ya was looking forward to it with her little head raised, and saw Chu Tian from afar. When he was about to enter the state-owned restaurant, she jumped off the chair regardless of Yao Xiujuan's obstruction, ran towards Chu Tian with her short legs, hugged his legs, and smiled.
