"Hey, director, why did you come to this vegetable market to buy vegetables?"
Today was also a rush. As soon as Li Heng walked to the door of the market, he met Zhao Mingxia coming out with something in her hand.
It’s no wonder people find it strange. If you live in Dongsi and go to the wet market here in Dongdan to buy vegetables, anyone who sees you will be surprised.
"Uh... Well, I had nothing to do when I got up in the morning. I just happened to come here when I went out for a walk, so I thought I would stop by here to buy some food."
You two eat three meals a day on the stove, and you still need to buy vegetables? Are you feeding the dog like me? Zhao Mingxia secretly cursed in her heart.
"Director Zhao, you are busy, I will go in first."
Li Heng didn't intend to say anything more to this middle-aged woman. He said hello and turned around to leave, but he was stopped anyway.
"Director, please don't leave yet."
"What? Is there anything else? You don't plan to discuss business with me here, do you?"
It was not yet six o'clock in the morning, and we were discussing business at the door of the vegetable market. He was really not that dedicated to his job.
"Then it's settled, I'll bring you over when I get to work."
"I know we need tickets. If I can say this, then there must be so many of them. So, will you sell them or not?" Li Heng was a little annoyed by the question.
There were not many people queuing up to buy meat today. He stood at the back and took a look. The five or six people in front were all buying pork. Although the butcher would recommend beef to everyone, and the price was 10 cents cheaper per catty, but
Still no one cares.
These days, people selling things are so arrogant.
"That's okay! It's not hard or hard, but director, you can't give me a note for leaving early!"
The beef that appears on the market must be sold only after the cow dies of old age.
The two of them were having a good time chatting while eating.
It was Li Heng's turn. Before the butcher could introduce himself, what he said immediately made people petrified.
"Sell it, of course I will sell it. As long as you have the tickets and money, I will definitely sell it."
"What kind of dog do you have?"
"Hey, that won't happen."
I'm afraid this old woman has been single for a long time and has something wrong with her?
"I'm not that free yet, so I dragged you to talk about business early in the morning." Hearing this, Zhao Mingxia rolled her eyes and threw it away.
"It turns out to be beef, no wonder it looks so strange."
"I said, I just saw that no one was buying beef for a long time, can you sell all of it to me?"
It is impossible for anyone who has died of illness to appear here.
"Yeah, I know, what's wrong?"
But he was quite interested when he heard this.
"When we were eating in the cafeteria yesterday afternoon, Xiaoya wasn't sitting with me chatting."
"Yes, I live alone and have a few dogs to give me courage."
Although it was temporary to keep a dog in the office during normal working hours, it didn't feel right no matter how much he thought about it. Li Heng shook his head and rejected Zhao Mingxia's proposal and asked her to bring him over in the afternoon.
Fortunately, almost no one here knows him, otherwise in a few minutes, the news that he bought more than ten kilograms of beef at a time would spread throughout the district.
"You'd better pick me up in the afternoon before you get off work. Your home is not far from our work anyway, so I'd rather you make an extra trip."
"Xiaoya heard that my dog gave birth to puppies, so she wanted to give one to your family."
She could tell that their director was also very picky when it came to eating. She really didn't know how he served as a soldier in those years, so he didn't starve to death in the army.
Speaking of this, Li Heng scratched his head a little. One of them was old enough to be the other's mother, but they didn't know what happened. They were still able to talk together. Fang Xiaoya didn't come to eat with him these two days.
We sit together, and every time we have to sit at the same table with Zhao Mingxia.
Fifteen kilograms and six taels of beef, and three kilograms of pork were cut. When he left, he received a long series of strange looks.
"Okay, then you can bring me one."
"Dog? Do you still have a dog?"
To be honest, this meat seller has a pretty good temper. If it were replaced by someone with a bad temper, Li Heng could be driven away directly. I won't sell you, okay?
Also, if you buy pork, you can refine the oil and eat the meat, and the waste oil from beef, everyone can do the economic calculation.
"Er Heng, what kind of meat are you buying?"
Good guy, I bought so much at one time, except for hotel purchases, I have never seen it again.
Li Heng was a little surprised when he heard this. These days, it's pretty good for people to have enough to eat. It's rare to see people raising dogs, and even a few of them.
"This piece of beef weighs about fourteen or five pounds. Are you sure you want it? This also requires a vote."
!!!
In his last life, he also adopted a retired police dog. Although he later found a new owner for the dog due to his working hours, they lived together for several months. It can be said that he can also adopt it in this life.
A dog, he would definitely like it.
"I don't know what kind of dog it is. Anyway, it will be quite big when it grows up, but it is really well-behaved and obedient. She just gave birth to a litter of four dogs last month. When Xiaoya heard about it, she told me that she wanted to
I want one."
"How many more?"
"Hey, beef is a good thing. Thank you, Director Zhao. I'll go over and take a look."
After separating from Zhao Mingxia, he went directly to the butcher shop.
The attitude of Brother Liu and Sister Liu in the front yard towards him has not changed. They are affectionate but slightly distant, which makes Li Heng feel very comfortable.
The meat seller was really dumbfounded. He had been selling meat for several years after liberation. This was the first time he encountered such a arrogant buyer.
The butcher and the people queuing behind were all dumbfounded.
Cattle, which are an important labor force in rural areas, have been strictly prohibited from slaughtering since ancient times.
When he returned to the gate of the yard, he only had a pound of beef left in his hand, and he had already put the other things into the warehouse.
"I just went out to the vegetable market in Dongdan and happened to meet someone buying beef, so I cut a piece of it."
"Comrade, can I buy all this beef?"
"Uh...what's that?"
"Uh... Comrade, you... what did you say?" This person asked again in disbelief.
"Okay, since we agreed, I won't bother the director to buy groceries. By the way, the butcher shop has beef today. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. There was quite a lot just now, and not many people bought beef."
Zhao Mingxia smiled and raised her arm to point inside the market.
Li Heng spoke again very patiently, and at the same time pointed at the piece of beef on the chopping board.
Of course Li Heng was interested in this stuff. He couldn't remember the last time he ate beef.
Yan Bugui, who was opposite, was a little embarrassed and wanted to come over, but when he thought about last night, he backed down.
The little girl who had already gotten up heard her man's voice outside, came out of the house and took the meat in his hand.
"Why do you think about buying beef?"
"I haven't eaten for a long time, I'm a bit hungry."
