Chapter 385 New Year’s Goods
After coming out of Wu Dagang’s house, Zhou Ziwen didn’t waste any time and took the Chen sisters straight to the county town.
However, due to the snow, the road to the county seat is not very easy to walk.
Fortunately, it hasn’t snowed in the past few days, and the snow outside has already started to melt. In addition, everyone walks from time to time, and there are more people walking, so the road is clear.
Although it was difficult to walk on a bicycle, Zhou Ziwen was good at riding and it took him a little longer than usual to reach the county seat.
After arriving in the county seat, the roads outside became clean. Apparently, there were people in the city who specialized in cleaning and clearing snow.
Although some places are still not clean, at least the main road has been cleared.
Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters were not used to riding bicycles on the street. Once they arrived in the county seat, they got off their bicycles and walked instead.
"Sister, Yiyi, have you decided what to buy?" Zhou Ziwen asked as he pushed the bicycle.
"Brother Ziwen, let's buy some firecrackers and go back. I want to play with firecrackers." Chen Qiaoyi said positively.
"Okay, buy more so you can have enough fun." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand and said boldly.
“I don’t have pork at home, and I don’t know if I can still buy it.” Chen Shiying also spoke.
Counting the days, today is already the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, and in a few days it will be New Year’s Eve.
It is also time to prepare things for the New Year.
Otherwise, if it snows in a few days, they will have no chance to come to the county.
"Then let's go to the food supply station first. If we can't buy meat, I'll come again tomorrow morning." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Although there is no shortage of meat at home, including plum meat, goat meat and badger meat, we have to buy some pork to eat during the Chinese New Year.
"We have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative later, Spring Festival couplets, incense candles, stickers..." Chen Shiying twirled her fingers and muttered one after another.
“Since we are going to write Spring Festival couplets, we have to prepare brushes and ink.” Zhou Ziwen reminded.
"Ziwen, how is your calligraphy? Will you be able to write the Spring Festival couplets then?" Chen Shiying asked.
In fact, when it comes to writing, both of them are similar, but Zhou Ziwen is the man of the family, and writing Spring Festival couplets naturally requires the head of the family.
But there is a difference between calligraphy with a brush and writing with a hard pen, so she asked.
"No problem, I'll write it, but don't think my handwriting is ugly then!" Zhou Ziwen nodded readily, but silently opened the idle panel in his heart.
[Calligraphy LV3 (298/300)]
The accumulation of two lifetimes has made his calligraphy level pretty good. Although it is not great, it can still be used.
With level three calligraphy skills, writing a Spring Festival couplet is not a problem.
However, to be on the safe side, he temporarily suspended his calligraphy skills.
Although the accumulation of two lives is good, his skills have encountered a bottleneck.
The best way to break the bottleneck is to hang up.
Otherwise, you have to be like everyone else, either relying on time to slowly grind, or relying on a flash of inspiration to suddenly gain new insights and instantly improve your skill level.
But he is different. With the on-hook panel, no matter how big the bottleneck is, if it is placed in the on-hook position, it will naturally break through.
"Brother Ziwen, I believe you." Chen Qiaoyi held Zhou Ziwen's arm habitually, but she quickly realized that it was outside, and then silently let go.
"Haha!" Zhou Ziwen smiled and rubbed his wife's head.
“No, my hair has been messed up by you.” Chen Qiaoyi hurriedly avoided it.
Although his tone was reproachful, there was a smile on his lips.
Apparently, the love in her heart made her not mind her hair being messed up.
Perhaps, this habit of her man would actually make her happy.
The three of them were joking all the way and soon arrived at the food supply station.
But they arrived too late, and there were only a few bones left on the meat stall.
A fan bone and a tube bone, the meat on them has been scraped clean, no wonder no one wants them.
In addition, there is a pair of pig intestines hanging on the shelf. Seeing the intestines, Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up, and he turned to the two sisters and said, "There is also a pair of pig intestines. Do you want to eat them?"
Although this thing is delicious, it also has its own characteristics. , some people find it annoying and don’t like it at all.
But some people like it very much and even love the smell of shit.
Zhou Ziwen is a centrist, he only likes to eat, not to clean up.
Out of sight, out of mind, as long as the cleanup process is out of sight, he'll enjoy the meal.
This trick of self-deception was clearly played by him.
“Buy it and leave it to me to clean up when you get back.” Chen Shiying glanced at him and said.
How could she not understand this man who communicated deeply with her every day?
Some of Zhou Ziwen’s habits and hobbies have long been discovered by her.
"Thank you Shiying." Zhou Ziwen smiled, feeling moved but also a little embarrassed.
This is just his hobby, but he didn’t expect that his own woman would find out about him.
"Humph! Don't I know you yet?" Chen Shiying raised her head slightly, with a proud smile on her face.
"Brother, please count this large intestine and the remaining two bones for us." Zhou Ziwen said.
Both intestines and bones are not valuable items.
There is not much oil or water in the large intestine. For those who don’t like it, they don’t even bother to take a look. For those who like it, they have to consider whether it’s a good deal.
Of course, they were lucky today, otherwise they might not be able to buy large intestines.
As for the bones, fan bones don’t have much oil and water, while tube bones are very nutritious, but there’s no meat in them!
This alone is enough to make most people give up.
Only a prodigal like Zhou Ziwen, who is not short of money, would buy bones to eat.
Of course, he is not actually a rich man, but he doesn't care so much about material things.
After all, as a man with a hang-up panel, money is just a number to him.
That is to say, it is not convenient to make money in this era. Otherwise, he would not know how much he had.
For him, money doesn’t need to be a lot, just enough.
“Three dollars and six.”
The meat seller glanced at Zhou Ziwen and quickly packed the intestines and bones. For this, he also gave him a plastic bag for free.
Such a thoughtful gesture made Zhou Ziwen's lips twitch.
Why does he feel like he has been taken advantage of?
“Ziwen, let’s go!” Seeing Zhou Ziwen’s dazed look, Chen Shiying reached out and pulled him.
“Oh, okay.”
Zhou Ziwen came to his senses and followed the two sisters to the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are many things that need to be bought next, and they are very complicated, but they can all be purchased at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Then they walked around the supply and marketing cooperative and came out with large and small bags. Of course, most of the things were on Zhou Ziwen, and only a few of them were on the two sisters.
“Brother Ziwen, did we buy a little too much?”
Seeing the big and small bags on Zhou Ziwen’s body, Chen Qiaoyi stuck out her tongue cutely.
"It's okay, it's the New Year, and being happy is the most important thing." Zhou Ziwen chuckled.
Although I bought a lot of things, it really didn’t cost much. It only cost about twenty yuan for this trip.
For his net worth of several hundred yuan, it is nothing.
