Chapter 464 Great pleasure

Of course we have to buy meat. Now that we have the opportunity, we should buy more meat."

"Okay, there happens to be a meat stall over there. Let's go to that stall to buy some meat first." After saying this, Meng Qiuping took the lead and walked towards the stall.

When she walked to the meat stall, she asked the stall owner, "Uncle, how do I change the meat?"

"They're all 1 yuan a pound. If you have a meat ticket, it's 70 cents a pound."

"Can it be less? If you can buy less, I will buy 30 kilograms, and they must be all lean."

"You really want all the skinny ones? No fat ones at all?"

"of course it's true."

"Then I'll charge you 90 cents a pound, and give you another five pounds of bones."

"Eight pounds."

"Eight pounds is eight pounds. I'll cut the meat for you now."

"it is good."

A few minutes later, the stall owner cut and weighed all the meat and bones, then wrapped them all in oil paper and placed them on the ground in front of Meng Qiuping, and said to her, "Twenty-seven pieces in total."

"Okay." After saying that, Meng Qiuping took out money from her bag and handed it to the stall owner.

Then she picked up all the meat and put it into the basket carried by Chu Anshan, and then went to the next meat stall with Chu Anshan.

They didn't stop until they had bought from all the pork stalls in the market.

"Lingling, how many pounds of pork did we buy today?"

"One hundred and eighty pounds, plus forty-eight pounds of bones."

"so much?"

“Yes, we just went to six meat stalls, but the meat is not enough, so we will buy some more in the village later.

Anyway, we will buy as much as we can in the next two years.”

"Okay, so what are we going to buy next?"

"egg."

"Why don't we go back to the village to exchange eggs? We don't know if the eggs in the market are fresh or not. If we buy eggs that have been stored for a long time, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

"Then we can just pick and choose. We can't just pick and choose and end up buying only bad ones."

"How about you and your dad go buy eggs, and I'll buy the other things?"

"Alright, let's meet at the noodle stand over there in an hour."

Meng Qiuping nodded when she heard Meng Chuyiling's words, and she walked towards the stalls with the most people.

After Meng Qiuping left, Chu Yiling said to Chu Anshan: "Dad, let's go buy eggs."

"The eggs were slow in advance. I saw someone carrying a slaughtered cow to the market."

"Cow? How dare someone kill a cow at this time? Dad, are you seeing things?"

"You're not mistaken. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself."

When Chu Yiling heard Chu Anshan's words, she turned her head and looked in the direction Chu Anshan pointed, and saw that there were indeed people carrying a cow towards the market.

But she didn't really want to buy the beef because she was afraid that the cow had died of illness.

It’s no wonder she thought this way. It’s because cows are now the main labor force and the village’s valuable property. Who would dare to kill and sell the cows?

Unless the cow has lost its labor force or has a problem, that is a different matter.

Thinking of this, she said to Chu Yiling: "Dad, why don't we not buy that beef."

"why?"

"I'm afraid it's diseased beef. Otherwise, why would a village kill a cow and sell it?"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? To be on the safe side, let's not buy beef. We don't lack beef at home anyway."

"Then let's go buy some eggs."

"Okay." Dad, we had breakfast in the dormitory and didn't feel anything... I felt bad.
