Chapter 106 Look
After hearing Xu Wenyin's words, the man's expression relaxed.
"I'll go in and take a look."
These words were spoken to Xu Wenyin and also to another companion. After that person nodded, he continued to stand leaning against the wall, with no intention of talking to Gu Wan and the others.
The people who went in came out quickly.
"There are two pounds of meat left. Do you want pork belly?"
Gu Wan's eyes lit up. People here love fatty meat, but she likes pork belly!
"Yes, yes. How much?"
"If you have a ticket, pork costs 79 cents a pound, and if you don't have a ticket, it costs 80 cents." Two pounds costs 1.6 yuan.
Gu Wan was stunned, wondering if he had said something wrong. How could the difference in not needing the ticket be just one cent?
The companion of the person who was speaking was also stunned. He looked at the person who was speaking, and when he saw that he suppressed his gaze, he turned his eyes away and no longer paid attention to this side.
Anyway, all the business has been approved by the boss, and their subordinates will definitely not give lower prices to others privately.
"Then I'll give you the money!"
Since she was only one cent short, of course she would keep the ticket. Now she was in the village, unlike in the city where there was a fixed quota of tickets issued every month.
After arriving at the village, all you have is the little money you earn from your work points each year. If you want a ticket, you can only exchange it with the team leader or branch secretary for your work points at that time.
Therefore, we should save as much as possible on these tickets, and at least wait until she leaves Muli'ao!
The man took the money from Gu Wan with a cold face, turned around and went back. After a while, he came back with something wrapped in taro leaves.
He opened it in front of her and showed it to her. After confirming that there was no problem, he handed it to her.
From then on, the money and goods were cleared.
Gu Wan and Xu Wenyin bought everything they wanted today and were very happy. However, it was getting late and if they didn’t leave now there would be no cars left.
The two of them happily walked towards the bus station carrying their things.
As soon as they left, the two people who were originally guarding the door were talking about them.
"Why did you give them that piece of meat and give them such a low price?"
That meat was top quality pork belly. You couldn't necessarily get it at that price at a meat processing factory with a ticket. Even he couldn't get it at that price.
The person being questioned licked his lips, and was a little excited when he thought about the meat. The meat was usually reserved to be given away or distributed to superiors.
The man was also stumped by the question. He had not expected that he would be stopped by Mr. Qian just to take a look, and the piece of meat that was originally intended to be given as a gift was taken out.
"Don't worry about it. I'm just following your instructions."
After he said this, the people around him understood that there must be some mystery behind this matter, but it was not something they could ask about.
It's just pure curiosity, there's nothing to say.
But just as they finished speaking, a teenage girl came in, and they didn't take it seriously at all.
The girl walked back and forth several times throughout the black market street, and finally, like a madman, she muttered to herself:
"How could it be gone? How could it be gone?"
……
Gu Wan and Xu Wenyin didn't know all this. They were rushing home with baskets on their backs. The two heaviest things in them were the thermos and the two pots.
Although the pot is not big, it is not light because it is an iron pot.
Gu Wan felt a little embarrassed. If she had known earlier, she would not want the hanging pot. She could buy it next time she came.
Now that they were carried like this, both of them were drenched in sweat like drowned rats.
Xu Wenyin was fine, she waved her hand to comfort her:
"It's okay, it's nothing. When we provided free medical services in other villages before, we had to carry things across a wide river. This little bit is really nothing."
The basket she was carrying contained only a hanging pot, the chicken, and the fruits, pastries and other things she had bought.
The fruits she bought were heavier than Gu Wan’s hanging pot. Gu Wan wanted a small hanging pot, similar to the modern Korean instant noodle bowl, only it was 24 inches.
The chicken was only about four or five pounds at most, so it was really nothing. And luckily the monkey gave me this backpack, so I didn't feel anything when carrying it, otherwise it would have been difficult to carry.
On the contrary, Gu Wan took a lot of things: "Why don't you take some more things and put them in my backpack? You don't have too many things."
Although the iron pot was only thirty-six inches, it was quite heavy.
Not to mention there was a thermos, meat and some food inside. Both of them were petite, but Gu Wan was younger than her.
To Xu Wenyin, who was often taken care of, she thought of Gu Wan as a younger sister, so she looked back from time to time, fearing that Gu Wan would be crushed by the backpack.
Usually, she was taken care of by others, but today, she met a rare little one, who put all the care that others usually gave her on Gu Wan, making Gu Wan very flattered and frightened.
"I'm fine. I'm telling you, I once carried 70 or 80 kilograms of stuff when I was working."
Although this weight does sound scary, I was able to lift it when I went to work a few days ago to get the beans.
Hearing her say this, Xu Wenyin felt relieved.
In fact, the things were not very heavy. The most important thing was that the weather was hot. Not only was it too hot to breathe after walking a few steps, but the sweat often dripped into my eyes, which was very uncomfortable.
The two of them walked quickly towards the road where they were going to take the bus. After a while, a car came towards them. The driver was still the same driver, but the conductor was replaced by a new one.
There were not many people on the bus at that time, and the driver recognized them both at a glance, but was unwilling to pay for their tickets.
After hearing what the driver said, the new ticket seller also said that he didn't want it. He asked the brigade where the two people were, and said that he would send a thank-you letter to the brigade when the time comes.
If it weren’t for Xu Wenyin today, even though they didn’t care about anything, if something really happened in the car, they would be in real trouble.
When the car was about to reach a fork in the road, the driver even went a little further to give them a ride.
Both Gu Wan and Xu Wenyin were very happy, but they didn't want the driver to make too much fuss, so they finally refused the driver's offer to take them to the village.
After getting off the car and walking on the mountain road, the sun was not as strong. There were big trees on both sides from time to time, and the sunlight was blocked by the trees.
The two of them chose to walk in the shade along the way. Because they had been sitting in the car for so long, they did not rest after getting off.
I thought about heading straight towards the village in one go.
When she entered the village and put her things down at home, she felt alive again. At this moment, she really wanted to have some water to drink, but unfortunately, there was no water in her home.
