Chapter 90: Beef and Persimmons

A few minutes later, Wang Ailan saw a stall selling beef in front of her, and she immediately pulled Shi Qinghuan towards the stall.

When she came to the stall, she whispered to the waiter Qing Huan: "Huan Huan, please remember to buy a few more kilograms of beef later. This thing is very rare. If you weren't lucky, you wouldn't be able to come across it. I've already Haven’t seen beef in years.”

Shi Qinghuan nodded after hearing Wang Ailan's words, indicating that she understood. Then she followed Wang Ailan, planning to wait until Wang Ailan finished buying the beef before she bought it.

After more than ten minutes, Wang Ailan saw that it was her turn to buy beef, so she said to the stall owner: "Fellow, give me two kilograms of beef shank without tendons."

"Okay, this piece of meat is exactly two kilograms, and it costs four yuan in total. If you have meat stamps, you can use your meat stamps to pay for it."

"I don't have meat tickets, so I can exchange them with money." After Wang Ailan finished speaking, she took out four yuan from her pocket and handed it to the stall owner.

After taking the money from Wang Ailan at the stall, he took out a large leaf and wrapped the beef. Then he handed the beef to Wang Ailan and said, "Aunt, the weather is hot now. Remember to marinate the beef with salt when you go back." Get up or the beef will go bad.”

"I know, I'll marinate the beef when I get back soon." Wang Ailan replied cheerfully after hearing what the stall owner said.

Then she took the beef from the stall owner, turned around and said to Shi Qinghuan: "Huanhuan, I've bought the beef. It's your turn to buy it next. Don't forget what I told you."

"I haven't forgotten."

"That's good." After Wang Ailan finished speaking, she walked aside. Make room for Shi Qinghuan.

After Shi Qinghuan made room for Wang Ailan, she stood where Wang Ailan was standing just now, and then asked the stall owner: "Fellow, do you have beef tendons for sale?"

"Yes, there is, but it will be more expensive to remove the beef tendons separately."

"How much more expensive?"

"A pound costs two cents."

"Okay, please get me two beef tendons and two pounds of beef brisket."

The stall owner couldn't stop smiling after hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, because big customers like Shi Qinghuan were rare.

So he was extra attentive when shaving Shi Qinghuan's tendons. Even when weighing the meat, the weight was not so accurate, so he gave Shi Qinghuan two taels of meat for nothing.

After Shi Qinghuan bought the beef, she walked towards Wang Ailan. When she walked in front of Wang Ailan, she asked Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, what should we buy next?"

"I plan to buy some persimmons and use them to make canned persimmons, so that I can have another dish in winter."

"Then I'll go with you. I'll buy some too, and then I'll learn how to make canned persimmons with you."

"Okay." After Wang Ailan finished speaking, she led Shi Qinghuan towards the stall selling foreign persimmons.

Since there were no people at the stall selling persimmons, they didn’t need to queue up and quickly bought the persimmons.

But she didn't buy too much, only five kilograms of foreign persimmons, while Wang Ailan directly bought twenty kilograms of foreign persimmons.

"Aunt Wang, are you selling too many foreign persimmons?" Shi Qinghuan looked at the foreign persimmons in Wang Ailan's basket and asked Wang Ailan.

"No, I usually prepare hundreds of pounds of canned persimmons before the cat winter, otherwise there won't be enough for my family to eat."

"It seems that your family likes canned persimmons very much."

"It's okay, let's move forward."

"good."
