Yi Zhonghai came back to his senses, stretched his head to look inside, and was immediately speechless. What was there to choose from? There were only radishes and cabbages left in this window.

He could only take out his money and ask for half of the radish and half of the cabbage. Now if he wanted to go to other windows to buy other types, he was afraid that he would have no choice.

Zhou Gen collected the money and took Yi Zhonghai's bag, then asked the staff inside to weigh it.

Yi Zhonghai was relieved when he saw that the staff who weighed the items took them in order and did not target anyone in particular.

He thought to himself: 'It seems that I am overthinking.'

It is not easy to preserve vegetables in winter. If they are really targeted, the quality will be very different. The same weight may be 20% less after being packed away.

Moreover, dishes of poor quality are not easy to preserve.

Yi Zhonghai took the bag filled with vegetables and estimated with his hands that thirty kilograms should not be less.

He stepped aside and Jia Dongxu went forward to buy vegetables.

But before Jia Dongxu could say anything, Yi Zhonghai handed over the money. Buying vegetables didn't cost much, and he had promised Jia Dongxu that he would pay for them.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai also knew that Jia Dongxu had spent all his money when buying food on the black market last night. The food was really too expensive. The price had increased by 1.5 cents in just half a month.

If prices continue to rise like this, those who do not have enough funds will probably have difficulties.

After Jia Dongxu bought the vegetables, Yi Zhonghai wanted to ask his apprentice to help carry them, but seeing how frail Jia Dongxu looked, he had to carry them himself.

When he saw the brothers from the Yan family and the Liu family lining up, he felt sad again. They were obviously the ones in charge, while the second and third brothers were staying at home and having nothing to do, but he was the only one who had no one to do anything for him. Why was there such a big gap?

Looking at Sha Zhu who was still arguing with Xu Damao, he gave up the idea of ​​ordering Sha Zhu around.

Sha Zhushou has some problems, don't throw the food away to him, it's really tiring.

Everyone in the courtyard bought their vegetables and left one after another, and finally it was Sha Zhu's turn.

Sha Zhu casually took out the money and tickets and stated his request, but he didn't see the smile on Zhou Gen's lips.

This time Zhou Gen did not instruct other staff members to weigh the goods.

Instead, he went to a corner where vegetables were piled up and took out the radishes and cabbages that he had prepared long ago.

Sha Zhu didn’t think so much and was still verbally attacking Xu Damao behind the scenes.

It was only after Zhou Gen reminded him that Sha Zhu turned around and took the pocket.

Sha Zhu stepped aside and opened it to check.

When he saw this, he was furious. All the radishes were in strange shapes, and not a single one was intact.

The cabbage was in a terrible state. Although there were not many rotten leaves, they were all relatively old and had worm holes.

Sha Zhu rushed to the window, pushed Xu Damao aside, and shouted inside:

"I wonder what's wrong with you guys? All the dishes you gave me are crooked and ugly. Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

Zhou Gen was waiting for him and cursed, "Why are you shouting? We picked the dishes in order. As long as the weight is not less, if it is slightly worse, it can only be regarded as bad luck.

Do we have to choose the best for you? Do the people at the back of the row have to eat rotten leaves?"

Zhou Gen said this with great righteousness, and those who were queuing behind him cheered and told Sha Zhu to buy the items and leave quickly so as not to waste everyone's time.

Sha Zhu glared at the crowd of people who were making a fuss, and then replied angrily:

"How can it be such a coincidence that I, a chef, don't know there's something fishy going on?

I won’t even mention the small and ugly radishes. As for the cabbages, they won’t be kept for more than a few days. I’m afraid they will rot. Some of them have worm holes, and the cores may be rotten.

No, you have to change it for me, otherwise it won’t end.”

Zhou Gen replied angrily: "You are still a cook, can the steamed buns you make be all the same size?

Do I have to ask you to return it if I buy a small one?

Get out of here now, this is a grain station. You're so arrogant, why don't you try and make some trouble?

If you continue to interfere with our work here, the police station is only 200 meters away. Do you want me to go and call for help?"

Sha Zhu was so angry that his face turned red. Even though he was the boss in the courtyard and no one could submit to him in the steel mill, he didn't dare to do anything wrong in other places.

He is just reckless, not really stupid. In a year like this, if you cause trouble at the grain station, probably no one will ask you the reason. They will just take you to the police station and lock you up for a few days before doing anything else.

It's just that he is now in a somewhat embarrassing situation. As a Shazhu, he has to save his reputation. If he leaves in disgrace, Xu Damao will laugh at him.

But what you fear will come true. Xu Damao, who was pushed aside, laughed:

"Silly Zhu, you always shake the spoon when you serve rice, and you like to pick the smallest buns for others. Now you are getting your comeuppance.

This comrade is right, you are just unlucky, go away and stop stopping me from buying groceries. "

Sha Zhu finally found an outlet for venting. He didn't dare to deal with other people, but why couldn't he deal with Xu Damao?

He said viciously, "Shamao, you're itching for trouble again, right? I'm waiting for you outside, if you have the guts, don't run away."

After saying those harsh words, Sha Zhu picked up his bag and walked away pretending to have won a battle, thus finding a way out.

Because even if he wanted to hit Xu Damao here, he wouldn't dare to do so. Zhou Gen was clearly targeting him, and whatever he did would be wrong.

Xu Damao didn't care. He handed the money and the bag to Zhou Gen and said flatteringly:

"Comrade Zhou Gen, don't pay attention to that idiot, he has some mental problems, everyone calls him Sha Zhu.

In our courtyard, Brother Anping and I are the only ones who have a good relationship. I will invite you to drink with Brother Anping when we have time."

Zhou Gen looked at Xu Damao, nodded, and went in to get the food himself.

When Xu Damao got the dishes, he didn't even check them. Instead, he thanked Zhou Gen and left satisfied.

Zhou Gen watched as Xu Damao didn't check the food until he was out of his sight, and he immediately thought that this man was interesting.

Xu Damao walked around the crowd and opened his pocket to take a look. They were all the best-looking dishes, and he immediately burst into laughter.

Although he doesn't lack these dishes, compared with Sha Zhu, it really makes people feel happy.

He put the vegetables on his shoulder again, turned his eyes, changed direction and went back to the courtyard. That idiot might really be waiting for him outside.

I may not be able to outrun Sha Zhu with the vegetables now, so I should take the vegetables back first and then find an opportunity to take Sha Zhu for a walk.

......

At this time, Cao Anping didn't know that because of Sha Zhu's bad mouth, among the people in the courtyard who should have been taken care of, only Xu Damao received any benefits.

And Sha Zhu himself could only buy the worst dishes.

Of course, if he knew, he would only sigh and say "well done" and praise Zhou Gen for his promising future.

Cao Anping had already drunk the special tea from his large porcelain jar, and then took out two pieces of snacks to fill his stomach.

The nest is almost ready, so I roll the bait, cast the rod, and start fishing.
