Chapter 102 There's no more meat
Instead, she was checking the things he had brought for her. For the time being, he could only give her part of what she wanted. Gu Wan had also paid for it. For the rest, she only gave a deposit and agreed to come back to get it in the afternoon.
They probably left their things nearby and need time to get them.
Gu Wan agreed. It was almost noon anyway, and she planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative after lunch.
After strolling around the black market, the two first went to the post office to withdraw the money, and then arrived at the door of the hospital.
Sure enough, I saw Sun Jiaqi waiting there.
The two found a secluded place, checked that their belongings and money were in order, and then separated.
It was almost noon at this time, and Gu Wan and Xu Wenyin were hungry, so they decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to have lunch first.
I had experience the last time I went out, so I have experience this time.
Gu Wan brought a backpack specially, but Xu Wenyin felt that she had few things to buy, so she only took a shoulder bag.
In the end, I realized that even though I only bought some honey and fruits, they were still very heavy, so I could only put them in Gu Wan's backpack.
This made her feel very embarrassed, and she said that she must treat Gu Wan to a good meal.
Gu Wan did not refuse. She bought a pheasant and a rabbit today and cooked them together when the time came. It could be considered as treating Xu Wenyin to a meal.
Moreover, Xu Wenyin will have to live in the village for a while, so she will have plenty of time to repay the meal.
Seeing that Gu Wan did not refuse, Xu Wenyin happily took the initiative to order food.
Gu Wan was left waiting at the table with her food in her hand. It was not yet time for dinner and the place was relatively empty. Gu Wan looked around out of boredom.
There was actually nothing interesting around, so his attention turned to Xu Wenyin at the counter.
I saw her gesticulating and talking to the waiter at the counter. Although the person opposite her didn't have any expression, she still smiled very brightly and beautifully.
She is so energetic, Gu Wan secretly sighed and envied her.
Compared with her, the quiet Gu Wan looked like an old man in his twilight years. Her usual enthusiasm was too superficial, and her politeness and gentleness were just an illusion.
"Today they have braised pork, but they said you can only order one serving per table. I told the sister there that we would each have a table, and she said it was not that troublesome and ordered two servings for us."
Xu Wenyin shared excitedly, as if she had gotten some great bargain, and she was so happy that she could hardly sit still.
Gu Wan was also infected by her laughter and followed her words:
"Really? I haven't tried the braised pork here yet."
"Yeah, yes. You wouldn't have thought that sister is such a nice person." After saying that, she smiled broadly towards the counter.
"Let me tell you, the chef in charge of this restaurant is a royal chef, so every time we have the braised pork he makes, we have to snatch it away."
This is also the reason why the braised pork, which can only be purchased with tickets, is in limited supply.
Gu Wan was also interested in what she said. The two of them sat at the table waiting, and slowly more and more people came in.
When they saw the words "braised pork" written on the blackboard behind the counter, they got excited and the place suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market.
Finally, the cashier couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Whoever is making a fuss, don't buy it. Line up, line up, each person can only buy one."
Now, everyone started to line up consciously.
Xu Wenyin smiled secretly, like a mouse that stole oil, and came closer with her neck shrunk, flirting with her.
After dinner, the two went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Gu Wan wanted to buy a thermos so that she could use hot water in the winter instead of boiling it.
The two of them bought some more food. Gu Wan was actually not very interested in the food, so she bought two kilograms of peach cakes, preparing to give them to Fang Ping later.
I also bought two cans of fruit and one can of meat.
The two went to the state-owned food station again, which was a place that specialized in selling meat and grain.
It was the first time for Gu Wan to come here. She thought that she could just go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. Now she knows that the supply and marketing cooperative only sells daily necessities.
In front of the meat stall, there was only a man lying leisurely on a recliner. When he saw them coming towards him, he just raised his eyelids, still fanning himself slowly with the fan in his hand.
"There's no more meat. There's only this little bit of minced meat on the chopping board. If you want it, you don't need a ticket. Just give me 6 cents. There's still 5 taels of minced meat here."
The corner of Gu Wan's eye twitched as she looked at the tiny bits of meat on the chopping board. They were all just tiny scraps, and they could actually be sold?
"Oh, there's still a little left, give it to me!"
Although Gu Wan looked at the piece of meat with disgust, Xu Wenyin didn't dislike it at all, and was very happy to hear that no tickets were required.
The person walking behind them also heard what the master said, and rushed forward, standing in front of the two of them, opened the basket and started to put the things in.
"Give it to me. I came here first."
Gu Wan withdrew her gaze with disdain, thinking that she could just give it to him, since it wasn't a good thing anyway. But then she saw Xu Wenyin next to her frowning her little face, looking angrily at the elder sister in front of her.
With his hands on his hips, he looked like a teapot with boiling water.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? We were the first to arrive, why are you cutting in line?"
The woman curled her lips nonchalantly when she heard that, took out a handkerchief, licked her index finger on her tongue, and unfolded the folded handkerchief to reveal the colorful bills inside.
"Hello, Master. Here you are. Six cents. Count it."
Different from the way she spoke to Xu Wenyin, she smiled like a flower when facing the master in the slaughterhouse.
Xu Wenyin didn't have to eat this piece of meat, but this person was too unreasonable.
The master at the slaughterhouse didn't care who came first or last. He would give the meat to whoever paid. He tore a piece of banana leaf to put the meat in, and then handed the meat to the woman.
After the woman took it, she walked past them with her chin raised arrogantly and snorted.
"You..." Xu Wenyin was so angry, but since the product was purchased legally, she couldn't say anything and could only sulk.
Gu Wan patted her shoulder and comforted her:
"Well, I see there's sawdust on that piece of meat. Even if you give it to us, I don't really want it."
This is the truth. Gu Wan really doesn't like the meat. Not to mention that she is not that greedy for meat, she has seen too much meat in her previous life, and plus, there is space.
She really didn't feel anything at all about the woman who snatched the meat and acted like she had gotten such a great deal, so she specifically tried to persuade Xu Wenyin.
It's just that she was telling the truth, but others thought she was just pretending to be weak.
