Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 66 Buying Pork

Tao Qiuyi grabbed the rope of the backpack, lifted it up and pushed it in front of his elder sister.

The elder sister hugged the backpack and thought of another reason to keep her. "Sister, it's almost noon now. If you go back now, you'll have already had lunch. Don't say anything. Come to my house, have a glass of water, and have lunch before you go back."

The eldest sister was not being polite to her, but really wanted to take Tao Qiuyi to her home as a guest.

"Sister, I really don't have time to go to your house today. I have something very important to do." Tao Qiuyi was telling the truth. Buying pots and pans for the kitchen was indeed a very important matter.

Hearing her say that she had something important to do, the eldest sister hesitated a little, but still didn't want to give up trying to keep Tao Qiuyi.

"Don't you have time to visit my elder sister?" the elder sister asked unwillingly.

"Really." Tao Qiuyi nodded, her tone very sincere, "Also, I'd like to ask you to take me to buy some meat."

"You want to buy meat?" The elder sister immediately perked up. "Okay, wait here for a few minutes. I'll send the things home right away, and then come out and take you to the meat processing plant to buy meat."

"Okay." Tao Qiuyi nodded with a smile.

The eldest sister carried the backpack and walked towards her home in a hurry.

Tao Qiuyi didn't have to wait long before her elder sister came back, returned the backpack to her, and asked her to follow her.

After they walked a distance, the elder sister glanced back and then lowered her voice to say to Tao Qiuyi, "Sister, I'm going to keep the pheasant and mushrooms for myself. I won't help you sell them."

"Calculate the total price of the two items and I'll give it to you."

Tao Qiuyi also lowered her voice and said, "I was only looking for pheasants when I went up the mountain yesterday, so I didn't pick up many mushrooms. If you can keep them all, I'll give you five yuan."

"Five dollars." The elder sister thought of the lively pheasant and at least ten kilograms of mushrooms. "Five dollars is too little. It's enough to buy just the mushrooms. The pheasant is worth more than five dollars. Ten dollars, I'll give you ten dollars."

"Sister, how can a buyer raise the price himself?" Tao Qiuyi laughed. "If you say five dollars, then give me five dollars."

"Five dollars is too little, add a little more." The elder sister said, "We agreed yesterday that if you send me the pheasant and mushrooms, I'll buy them from you at a price higher than the market price."

"You only charged five dollars for the pheasant and mushrooms. That's lower than the market price. You're losing money."

"Pheasants and mushrooms are both produced in the mountains. They are gifts from the mountains and forests to mankind. It doesn't cost me anything, so I'm not losing money." Tao Qiuyi refused to take ten yuan no matter what.

The elder sister racked her brains but couldn't convince Tao Qiuyi, so she could only give her five dollars and then stuffed a handful of fruit candies into her cotton-padded jacket pocket.

As they were talking, the two of them soon arrived at the back door of the meat processing plant. The elder sister said a few words to the old man guarding the door and stuffed him with a handful of fruit candies.

Tao Qiuyi watched from the side and felt that this elder sister was really good at handling things.

The old man went into the factory to call for help. The older sister walked back to Tao Qiuyi and said with a smile, "We came just in time. The old comrade guarding the gate said that the factory only slaughtered three pigs this morning, and the pork hasn't started selling yet."

"Think about what you want to buy and how much you want. My son will come out soon. Tell him what you want to buy. If it's available, he will definitely sell it to you."

"Okay." Tao Qiuyi nodded, "Thank you, big sister."

"It's just a piece of cake, why thank me?" The eldest sister was about to say something when a man in work clothes ran out and called out to her. "Mom."

The eldest sister turned and looked at her son, "Boss, let me introduce someone to you."

"This is the old sister I told you about yesterday. She lives at the foot of the mountain." The eldest sister looked at Tao Qiuyi and pointed at her son and introduced him, "Sister, this is my son, Zhou Ming."

Zhou Ming looked at Tao Qiuyi. She was almost fifty years old and was wearing a patched cotton jacket that was as old as it could be. There were many rural women like her on the street.

The only thing that didn't match her was her pair of bright eyes, which were too beautiful. It was a waste for a rural woman to have them on her face.

"Hello, auntie." Zhou Ming was the first to greet.

Auntie...Auntie? Tao Qiuyi looked at her eldest sister's son in horror. This man must be in his twenties at least, and she was only seventeen, and he called her auntie...

Tao Qiuyi felt bad instantly.

The eldest sister here has already whispered to her son that Tao Qiuyi wants to buy pork.

"Aunt, how much pork do you want to buy?" Zhou Ming asked Tao Qiuyi.

"I don't understand the rules of your meat processing plant, and I don't have a meat ticket." Tao Qiuyi directly explained his situation and then asked, "What do you think is the maximum amount of pork and other things I can buy?"

Zhou Ming was shocked by the "at most two" that Tao Qiuyi mentioned. He didn't think a rural woman could have much money to buy pork.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Ming answered truthfully, "We just slaughtered three pigs this morning. The most I can sell is two pounds of fat, five pounds of pork belly, ten pounds of pork legs, two pig feet, and some offal."

"Okay, I want all of what you said." After that, Tao Qiuyi ordered two more pig offal dishes. "Also, can you give me a pig heart and a pig liver?"

Both the eldest sister and her son Zhou Ming were shocked.

"Sister, can you finish all the meat you bought?" the eldest sister asked directly.

What Zhou Ming was thinking was, does she have so much money to buy pork?

"Our village is a bit far from the town, so it's not easy to come here. It's winter now, and the temperature is low, so the meat won't go bad if left outside." Tao Qiuyi said very tactfully.

Reaching into his jacket pocket and pulling out five big unity notes, Tao Qiuyi asked Zhou Ming, "Is this enough to sell pork? If not, there's more."

She could easily pull out fifty yuan, and yet she still asked if it was enough? Zhou Ming stared blankly at the money, feeling like he was dreaming. How could a rural woman carry so much money?

"It's enough, definitely enough," the eldest sister replied, nudging her son. "Hurry up and get in there and get the meat."

Zhou Ming finally came back to his senses and turned around to run back to the factory.

the other side.

Wei family.

Li Zi and Xiao Huai looked at the two people who appeared in the yard for no reason. No one said anything, but their eyes were full of vigilance.

"I'm here to look for my daughter Tao Qiuyi. One of you two can go into the house and call her out for me?" Wang Chunjuan looked at Xiao Huai and Li Zi with a smile. Seeing that the brother and sister did not move, she took out two fruit candies from her pocket.

"Whoever helps me call Tao Qiuyi out will get this fruit candy."

While Wang Chunjuan was trying to find a way to instruct the twins, Huang Lingyu was looking around the Wei family yard. Although the yard was big, it looked shabby.

Even in such a shabby courtyard, Tao Qiuyi is not worthy of living there.

Xiao Huai and Li Zi looked at each other, and Xiao Huai spoke: "My sister-in-law is not in the room."

"You look quite old. You should be more careful with your words." Wang Chunjuan's face darkened as she looked at Xiao Huai seriously. "Tao Qiuyi is the daughter raised by my Huang family. Her fiancé is Zhang Guang from Zhangjia Town."
