Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

"Aunt Zhang, are you okay?" Aunt Jiang shouted at the door.

Even though I had checked it once before, I still checked it again. Otherwise, if I find out that I forgot to bring it when I get there, it would be a big deal.

Aunt Jiang was very surprised to see Zhang Yu carrying a large basket. They just had supplies for the two of them, so was it necessary for him to carry such a large basket?

"Wei Jiang, Wei He and the others are all at work. I'll take care of them." I didn't want to take care of them at first, but then I thought, I can't just ignore them.

They all need to go to work and it is impossible for them to take leave to purchase things. If they don’t purchase things, what will they eat during the Spring Festival?

Everyone knows that she goes out to purchase supplies, so doesn’t she provide food for her children and grandchildren?

In the end, you gave them the food you bought with your own money, but you still don't get a good reputation. Is it worth doing such a loss-making business?

Of course not, so she specifically asked Wei Jiang and Wei He if they needed help purchasing supplies for the Spring Festival.

This made them very happy. They had occasionally accompanied the original owner to purchase New Year's goods in the past. They still remember that lively scene. It was extremely crowded, and the speed at which the goods were put on the counter and sold out was extremely fast.

They were still worried about how to purchase New Year's goods. They had thought about asking Zhang Yu to help with the purchase, but they didn't dare to ask for help, as they were worried that Zhang Yu would argue with them after they did.

They didn't expect the old lady would actually ask this question. They were so happy that they nodded in agreement quickly.

"Eased?" Aunt Jiang knew that the relationship between Zhang Yu and the children had become very strained since the family split up.

"Relieve what?"

"They have to go to work. If I don't do the shopping, it will be my fault. It's just a convenient thing to do anyway."

"Also, I asked them to give me the money and tickets this time. I won't pay for them anyway."

"Also, if any of them complains and says that the things I purchased are not good, I will immediately stop helping." Thinking back to the original owner's purchase of New Year's goods, it was really not easy, it could even be described as snatching.

As a result, they said that either this or that had a problem, which made the original owner very angry.

Zhang Yu will not indulge them. In a word, either you want it or you don’t. If you dare to complain, there will definitely not be a next time.

Aunt Jiang also thought of what happened before, "Yes, why do we spoil them?"

"I am now very relaxed and completely indulged."

"Before, Feng Xia said she couldn't do this or that, but she ended up learning how to make kimchi and spicy cabbage from me." Even though I didn't spoil them, they all performed well. "And Wei He."

"He used to say how could a man cook, but now if he doesn't cook, his whole family will starve to death."

Ah? Aunt Jiang knew that Li Juan had returned. Even though she had never been to the courtyard since her return, they lived nearby, so how could she not know?

I thought Li Juan would do housework after she came back, but who would have thought that she would still be the same as before. "Li Juan, why don't you do housework?"

Regarding this, Zhang Yu spread his hands and said, "I don't know. Wei He didn't tell me that Li Juan came back, so I just pretended I didn't know."

"I am too lazy to care about their trivial matters now. If they are happy to talk, I will listen."

"If they don't tell me, I won't ask."

"As for when they encounter problems and want to ask for advice, I let them make their own decisions. If the result is good, it is the result of their own efforts. If the result is not good, it means I misled them."

Zhang Yu was actually giving a tip to a good friend. In the early 1980s, Aunt Jiang's son-in-law wanted to quit his job and open a restaurant, but Aunt Jiang and her husband disagreed, saying there were no guarantees.

Later, the factory went into decline and he was laid off. Aunt Jiang's son-in-law finally opened a restaurant. Although the business was okay, the golden age was over and his cooking skills were not as good as those of his chef. Because he started earlier and had a big business, he often got angry with his wife because of this.

Aunt Jiang had no idea that Zhang Yu was giving her some advice, and she really thought he was talking about family matters.

Seeing Aunt Jiang who didn't take it seriously at all, Zhang Yu knew that she didn't listen now. It's okay, nothing has happened yet. Once something happens, she can just remember this.

Everyone was quite surprised to see Zhang Yu carrying a large basket on his back. Later, when they learned that he was going to purchase supplies for Wei Jiang, Wei He and others, everyone immediately understood.

Luo Yu's wife also carried the prepared basket and said, "Mom, I'm going out to buy some things. You stay at home and look after the kids."

Widow Luo waved her hand impatiently, "Go away, really, you can't even do such a small thing."

Luo Yu's wife glanced at Widow Luo, then turned and left.

Whether things would go as she expected depended on Widow Luo. Luo Yu's wife gently closed the door and took two quick steps to catch up with the main group.

"Luo Yu's wife, I thought you wouldn't come." A neighbor heard footsteps, turned his head and saw that it was Luo Yu's wife.

"It could have been earlier, if mother-in-law wasn't feeling a little unwell, I would have taken care of her." Luo Yu's wife whispered.

No one thought too much about this excuse. After all, Widow Luo just liked to bully her daughter-in-law.

At first they felt that Luo Yu's wife was a bit pitiful and wanted to help her, but she refused to appreciate it. No matter how Luo Yu's wife bullied their daughter-in-law, everyone just ignored her. Anyway, there would be no good result if they helped her.

The group arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and found that there were many things on supply today, such as hairtail, duck, and some sugar, which made everyone very happy.

With both hairtail and duck, you don’t have to worry about the poor quality of the food on the New Year’s Eve dinner.

After a brief discussion, everyone immediately divided the work and lined up. As the one who was best at queuing, Zhang Yu was of course responsible for buying the duck. Although it was not the main ingredient, it was meat after all, and the old duck pot was worth having.

After some trouble, Zhang Yu swiftly grabbed a dozen ducks, and then swiftly rushed out of the crowd under the protection of his neighbors.

When they rushed out, they found that there were already a lot of people gathered in front of the meat stall. They couldn't help but feel lucky that they rushed in early, otherwise it would not be easy to get in.

The most important thing was that more and more people received the news. Even if someone from the supply and marketing cooperative used a loudspeaker to announce that there were not many ducks in stock and that there would be more tomorrow, everyone still rushed in.

Everyone is worried about whether the goods will arrive tomorrow. There is nothing they can do about it because the supply and marketing cooperatives have been fooling people more than once or twice.

Soon, the people who were queuing to buy hairtail fish and candy finished their shopping tasks and rushed out. Everyone was just about to speak.

"If you have bought anything, please leave." The supply and marketing cooperative staff had a sullen face and asked Zhang Yu and the others to leave.

Well, everyone knew that this was not a good place to talk, so they all carried their things and left the supply and marketing cooperative, came to a more open place, and began to divide the things.

Just at this moment, a fisherman passed by and asked, "Aunt Zhang, they have opened an ice cave, do you want to go?"
