But after a while, Zhao Qingyou and others also appeared from the back kitchen, her eyes became more and more puzzled, and she hurriedly greeted her, and asked in a puzzled voice:

"But what happened? Just watched Chef Liu leave. ”

Zhao Qingyou looked around a little nervously, pulled Zheng Wan and continued to walk forward, and waited until he was nowhere to explain before explaining:

Originally, there was no one to eat the dinner on this day, and Chef Liu became more and more sloppy when he cooked, but there were less than a dozen people who came today, and Chef Liu didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry, so he threw off the apron on his body and left without saying a word. Other ......"

Hearing this, Zheng Wan imagined the scene in the words, if it was the kitchen she managed, there were less than ten people who came to eat, then she must review her cooking skills first.

But at present, it seems that Chef Liu does not have this kind of self-examination mind, perhaps because he is not willing to show his cooking skills to ordinary people at all.

She doesn't believe that a "chef" who can pass the assessment can have no ability at all.

However, she thought about it for a while and had nothing to do with herself, the most important thing for her now was to go out shopping, and excitedly pulled Zhao Qingyou's arm and said:

"So, can my sister go out and buy now?"

"Yes."

"Let's go!"

Zheng Wan happily jumped beside Zhao Qingyou, imagining the scene of going out to buy later, but the real situation shocked her, it was really close to dusk, most of the women who went into the city to buy and sell agricultural products went home before dark, and the people who stayed in the market to continue to wait for the sale of tail goods were all residents of the city, and the variety of vegetables was limited.

But this also has a benefit, that is, she relied on her three-inch incorruptible tongue to buy the last remaining potatoes, bean sprouts, mushrooms, shallots, green onions, ginger and coriander for three big dollars, if it was when the market first opened, it would not be imaginable.

While helping Zheng Wan put the vegetables into the basket, the woman said sadly:

"You little lady is really sharp-tongued, you can't say it. These things are all for the little lady, next time, there will be absolutely no next time. ”

As he spoke, after putting all the things into Zheng Wan's basket, he picked up his things and left quickly.

Zhao Qingyou also looked at Zheng Wan with admiration, and said with some sighs: "In the past, I really didn't see that the lady had this trick, and the woman will have to avoid the lady in the future." ”

"If she doesn't sell it until dark, she won't make any money. Speaking of which, he has done a good thing. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Such a boastful little appearance made Zhao Qing laugh.

"Let's go! Didn't my sister say she wanted to buy something to go home? ”

"Let's go!"

Compared with Zheng Wan's shopping anywhere, Zhao Qingyou has a lot of planning when she starts to do things, perhaps because she has also been in Luoyang City for a few years, and she is very familiar with the shops here, and she always chooses the most affordable merchants when buying things.

Zheng Wan also took a little cheap, bought the rice, flour, oil, salt, and soy sauce he needed, thought of the supper for dinner, and bought a little soft cake when Zhao Qingyou bought flax cakes, which would be eaten with grilled fish at that time, which would fill his stomach even more.

When the two of them came out of the bakery, they both had a lot of things in their hands.

Zheng Wan looked at the time and asked curiously, "Sister, do you have anything else to buy home?" There will be a curfew soon. ”

"Seeing that the pork meat made by the lady is so delicious, I want to buy some pork meat and taste it with Aya Aniang when I go home this time, I wonder if there is still a meat stall doing business at this time?"

"Why don't you go to the market near the capital water prison, I met it there last time."

Zhao Qingyou thought that this was just the right time to go home and buy things together, and nodded in agreement.

When the two arrived in a hurry, they happened to meet the boss closing the stall, looking at the trembling pork meat in each other's hands, Zhao Qingyou shouted in a panic:

"Lang Jun! I want to buy meat. ”

The sudden sound almost startled the boss, and in some dim light, he looked directly at the people who came, and after seeing clearly that one of them was the girl who had come to buy meat, the whole person instantly relaxed.

Bent down and take out the pork meat that he had just put in the basket, and said with a smile: "The two ladies came just in time, and after a while, so-and-so will go home with something." ”

"Then we're lucky."

Saying that, Zheng Wan and Zhao Qingyou's eyes were already looking at the remaining meat, looking at the rest of the fat and thin parts, the two felt quite normal, the people of the time still love fat meat the most, and at this point in time, there was this kind of fat and thin meat left, and the two of them were lucky.

Zheng Wan glanced at Zhao Qingyou, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Why don't you share the rest of the meat with your sister?" ”

Zhao Qingyou looked at the little pork meat left, nodded, looked at the boss and said, "I don't know how much this pork meat is worth?" ”

"Seeing that the two ladies are willing to take care of the contemptible business, the fat and lean meat are four dollars a catty, and the rest of these are all bought for a total of 20 yuan."

As he spoke, he weighed the meat on the board and showed it to the two of them for observation.

According to Zhao Qingyou's eyesight to buy things over the years, this piece of meat is definitely more than five catties, and it must be cheaper than the boss has given them.

Such a cheap advantage is not taken advantage of, so he said with a smile: "Since Lang Jun said so, then divide the meat into two, and we will take half of each person." ”

"Okay!"

As he spoke, the boss quickly divided the meat on the board into two, and from the naked eye alone, it was impossible to distinguish the size of the two at all, which showed that his knife skills were profound.

Zheng Wan was not in the mood to observe the other party's meat cutting at this time, but looked curiously at the big bones that were cut to the side with only a skeleton and a little minced meat, and pointed curiously and said:

"Lang Jun, how do you sell the remaining pork bones?"

The boss glanced at the bones at his feet while threading the pieces of meat with ropes, and said with a smile:

"No one wants to buy this kind of bone at all, how to price it?"

"What if you want to buy it?"

"Is what the lady said true?"

The boss immediately opened his eyes in surprise, those bones had already been cleaned by him, they were just pure big bones, no one was willing to eat them at all, and he brought them back just to increase the amount, and by the way, he fed the rhubarb of his own guard.

However, because there are too many bones, his family's rhubarb has recently begun to be a little uninterested in bones, and he is worrying about how to deal with these bones.

Zhao Qingyou also looked at Zheng Wan in disbelief, tugged Zheng Wan's cuffs with some concern, and said:

"Those bones can't be eaten at all, don't waste money, it's enough to have these meats."

"No, Auntie. Those bones are useful, and my sister will understand when she comes back from home. ”

Looking at Zheng Wan's sworn appearance, coupled with his conjecture about Zheng Wan's cooking skills, Zhao Qingyou also stopped thinking about continuing to persuade, but looked at the boss's eyes with a little unkindness.

After explaining to Zhao Qingyou, Zheng Wan looked at the boss with a smile on his face and replied, "It's true." ”

"Since the lady wants it, just give three big coins."

"Good!"

Zheng Wan couldn't wait to take out thirteen Tongbao from his purse and handed them to the boss.

The boss quickly accepted it, as if he was afraid that Zheng Wan would regret it, and even gave him a bamboo basket of his own to help put all the bones she bought.

At this time, Zheng Wan was still happy because of the advantage she had taken, and she bought four thigh bones for three cents, thinking of the bone marrow contained in the bone, she felt that she was drooling.

How happy she was at this time, how embarrassed she was when she staggered back to the water prison.

At the same time, she even had some money to be glad that she didn't choose to buy meat in the market farther away, otherwise she would have had to call someone to help carry the things.

Zhao Qingyou, who was beside him, was also panting, holding his waist and standing in the corner, looking up at the back door of the Dushui Prison not far away, and said with relief:

"It's almost there."

"Yes!"

Just when the two were resting, Zheng Wan suddenly felt that someone was walking in front of her, she quickly looked up and found that it was a firewood seller, and quickly stopped the person.

"Lang Jun, please slow down!"

The man carrying the firewood immediately stopped when he heard the sound, looked around with some suspicion, and found that he was the only man on the entire road, quickly looked at Zheng Wan's location, and asked with some doubts:

"But the lady wants to buy firewood?"

"Yes, I don't know how much two bundles of firewood cost?"

"Two big coins, a certain can be delivered to the door, I don't know where the lady lives?"

Hearing that there was a curfew coming and a deal coming, the man was really happy, so that he didn't have to worry about being scolded by Heng Niang at home when he went back.

Zheng Wan's eyes lit up, pointed to the back door of the Dushui Prison at the end, and explained:

"It's the water supervisor in front, just send it to the door with Lang Jun's help."

"Good, good!"

The man couldn't wait to answer, seeing that Zheng Wan and Zhao Qingyou were tired by the things on their bodies, and kindly helped the two of them to take their things, and sent them to the door with the firewood on their shoulders.

Zheng Wan looked at the position of the Dushui Supervisor one step further, and hurriedly took out two Tongbao from his purse, and said gratefully: "Thank you Langjun!" ”

"The lady doesn't have to say thank you, if you still need firewood in the future, you can go to the Qunxian Fang next to the West Market to explore, and a certain person lives there."

After speaking, the man thought that the time was not early, and quickly ran away from the position of the capital water supervisor, and the distance of two or three fang markets was not so easy to go home.

Before Zheng Wan's words could be spoken, what he saw was such a anxious picture.

Zhao Qingyou saw her stunned in place, and explained: "Maybe it's to go home in a hurry, it's not easy to return to Qunxian Fang in an hour." ”

"I see."

After that, the two of them were like little hamsters, bringing everything they had bought back to their rooms.

In addition to firewood, oil and salt, these are all things that need to be compensated to the kitchen, Zheng Wan used these things when he made dried fish for the first time, and now that he has it, he naturally has to return it.

The rest is used to make the grilled fish that thanked Wang Qu for them.

She had just returned to her room when she heard a knock on the door outside.

"Knock knock!"

Zheng Wan shook his tired arm, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a fresh fish appear in front of him, and when he looked again, it turned out that Wang Qu appeared in front of him with a live fish.

Wang Qu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior, and said excitedly:

"Mrs. Zheng! You see, this is a big fish specially collected from the fish master, weighing six catties, is enough food for the lady? ”

Zheng Wan looked at the big fish that was struggling violently and constantly shaking the residual water on his body, and said a little speechlessly:

"It's okay, but it's okay to keep the fish in a bucket."

"It's... Is it? I waited too excited, offended. ”

Wang Qu smiled awkwardly, quickly hid the fish behind him, and watched Zheng Wan wipe the water droplets on his face in a bit of a daze.

Now he realized what kind of stupid thing he had done, and hoped that Zheng Wan would not bother with stupid people like them.

"No problem. It's not too early, so let's kill the fish first. ”

"Oh, oh."

Wang Qu was a little stupid and followed Zheng Wan to the back kitchen, came to the well, and handed the fish to Zheng Wan.
