"No, just to buy this bit of meat, I visited several butcher shops nearby. I finally bought meat from the butcher stall in the department store. I was very tired along the way.
, Sister-in-law, you must reward me well today."
What Zhang Yu said was not a shame at all. When he was passing by the alley next door, he happened to hear someone talking about the meat stall in the department store that actually served pork twice today. The person was calling an acquaintance to go over and grab it.
Zhang Guifang looked distressed: "Hey, why did you run so far? You can't ride a bike today, and the road is so slippery. What if you fall again? Your uncle just mentioned it casually, so you took it seriously."
Zhang Yu waved his hand: "What's the point? Since my uncle said it, he must want to eat it. Besides, I get paid every month. Isn't it because I am filial to my uncle?"
Zhang Guifang looked helpless, tapped Zhang Yu's forehead with her finger, curled her lips and said, "Okay, okay, I'm a bad guy, okay? You just need to love him."
Zhang Guifang said this, but she grinned at the corner of her mouth, making it obvious at a glance that she was speaking sarcastically.
As soon as they heard the aunt and nephew discussing where to buy the meat, the old ladies in the yard next door couldn't stand anymore. They hurriedly came over and said to Zhang Yu with a smile: "Xiao Yu, I heard
You said you bought the meat from the meat stall over there in the department store. Was the meat there sold out when you came here?"
To be honest, Zhang Yu was a bit frightened by the smiles of these old ladies and felt like he couldn't help but want to retreat.
Although he knew their purpose, looking at the expressions on their faces, Zhang Yu still felt like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken.
He calmed down for a moment, and then said in the expectant eyes of several old ladies: "It was still there when I came here. I'm not sure whether it is there now, but it should be gone soon. When I came here, I heard someone calling the neighbor.
Go grab the meat!"
As soon as these words came out, several old ladies stopped wondering what was in Zhang Yu's bag and hurried home, fearing that if they were slow for a second, they would not be able to buy meat.
After the old ladies left, Zhang Guifang breathed a sigh of relief.
But after a while she asked with great interest: "The meat stall in the department store really served meat twice today?"
Zhang Yu nodded: "I did go there twice. I heard people said that it was because of the weather that the roads were difficult and the truck transporting the meat didn't drive fast. It didn't arrive until almost noon. It should have just been released not long ago."
Hearing what her nephew said, Zhang Guifang showed a trace of pity on her face: "If I had known you were going to buy meat, I would have given you the meat tickets at home. If you can put them away today, buy more and freeze them for the New Year. It would be great."
.”
As he said that, he thought of the old ladies just now and couldn't help but wrinkled his nose: "How many of them can you give me an advantage?"
Zhang Guifang really doesn't like those old ladies. After all, for the kind of people who do nothing all day long, just keep an eye on you all day long, and just tell you a few gossips when they have nothing to do.
It's really the same. Few people can stand it when they feel uncomfortable when they see others living well.
Zhang Yu smiled and shook his head. He did not answer the sister-in-law's words. The meat stall on the second floor of the department store did serve the second batch of meat. It is estimated that it has not been sold out yet, but we cannot ignore people's enthusiasm for meat at this time. According to Zhang
Seeing the way the man was calling his friends, Yu guessed that by the time these old ladies passed by, the meat would have been divided up.
But I can’t blame Zhang Yu for this. Is there meat? There is indeed meat.
But Zhang Yu didn't guarantee that there would be meat when they went there, let alone that they could buy meat.
Zhang Guifang saw something in her nephew's smile, and she felt a lot more relaxed at that time.
After returning home and closing the door, Zhang Guifang spoke in a low voice: "I don't know how we let those old ladies smell the mutton soup a few days ago. You haven't seen it these days.
I have nothing to do in my free time. On the surface, I come to our courtyard to chat with someone, but in private, I often look into our house with my head and brains.
I wish I could lie down at the window and see what we ate today?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but frown.
Just because she was worried about being discovered, my sister-in-law waited until the mutton stall here supplied mutton before she dared to handle the mutton that Zhang Yu brought that day.
And in order not to arouse suspicion, my sister-in-law asked her eldest brother to buy mutton that day. Even though she did this, it still aroused some people's suspicion.
These people have really sharp noses!
I'm afraid those old ladies have been staring here these days.
He asked how could such a nice little sister react so badly just because he came back with meat.
Before Zhang Guifang could mention anything, Zhang Yu took the initiative and said, "Sister-in-law, I will be more careful in the future."
Zhang Yu didn't say that he would never bring meat to his house again. There was a lot of meat in his secret space, but it didn't taste good when he ate it alone.
It is impossible for him to enjoy the food and drink in the secret space by himself, while seeing his family unable to even eat meat outside.
It just seems that he needs to be more careful in the future, but this is not a critical matter. The worst thing is that he can finish it in the space and then bring it back.
Without the cooking process, it should be less noticeable.
Looking at her nephew's look, how could Zhang Guifang not understand that what she just said was in vain.
However, she also knew her nephew's temper, so she could only helplessly tell Zhang Yu to be careful.
Seeing that his sister-in-law was not very happy, Zhang Yu quickly took off the satchel and opened it for Zhang Guifang to take a look at.
Seeing the salted duck eggs inside, Zhang Guifang's face lit up, and then she lowered her voice and said, "Which black market did you go to again?"
Zhang Yu shook his head and also lowered his voice and explained: "I didn't go to the black market, I just went to the pigeon market twice. I was lucky today and happened to meet someone selling salted duck eggs, so I wrapped them for him together.
There are 30 salted duck eggs in total, which is enough for us to eat for a few days."
Seeing the joy on Zhang Guifang's face, Zhang Yu added: "I have discussed it with the stall owner who sells salted duck eggs. From now on, he no longer has to send salted duck eggs to the pigeon market. He can just give them to me directly.
.”
"Then be careful, safety is the most important thing." Zhang Guifang breathed a sigh of relief, but she still couldn't help but warn her.
"I know, sister-in-law."
Seeing that Zhang Guifang was about to speak, Zhang Yu quickly changed the subject.
While he handed the three kilograms of pork belly to Zhang Guifang, he showed a greedy look: "Sister-in-law, since everyone knows that I bought meat today, let's make braised pork today. I haven't eaten braised pork in a long time. I'm so greedy.
no.
Sister-in-law, you don’t know? I was so greedy that my mouth watered when I saw this piece of pork belly.”
Seeing his nephew's greedy look, Zhang Guifang was happy, and with a wave of his hand, he agreed directly.
