Chapter 1687: Teacher and Student Reunion 3
There are always many topics to talk about among women, even two people who didn’t know each other before can quickly become friends.
As Sister Lei was packing the dried goods into a cloth bag, Sister Liu said to Feng Qingxue, "Sister Qingxue, if you don’t like the food in the cafeteria, just buy your own ingredients and let the cook make it for you. Just give some oil tickets as a processing fee. My yellow croaker is very fresh. Besides yellow croaker, there’s bass and hairtail too, which are hard to find in the Great North."
Feng Qingxue was intrigued — could this really work?
Seeing her interest, Sister Liu continued to promote her seafood.
"Sister Liu, not today. I have something to do in a bit. I’ll see if I can borrow some cookware, and if so, I’ll come to buy fish tomorrow." Feng Qingxue was preoccupied with the pearl purchase, and didn’t feel like going to the cafeteria to ask the cook for help.
Sister Liu finally gave up.
After buying the seafood she fancied, Feng Qingxue also bought some fruit, pastries, and candies as gifts for visiting Director Gu.
The old squad leader noticed after she bought them and kept saying, "Why buy these? Why buy these? We’re going to the purchasing station, not Director Gu’s house. Besides, even if we were going to Director Gu’s house, there’s no need to buy anything."
"It’s just a token of appreciation, old squad leader."
The old squad leader said helplessly, "You’re too polite."
The items were already bought, returning them wasn’t practical, so they took them along to the purchasing station.
The state operates on a unified purchase and sale policy, and country folks generally sell their fruits, vegetables, and crops to the supply and marketing cooperative. In the city, there are purchasing stations that buy various goods. The materials collected from the supply and marketing cooperatives are typically sent to food stations and purchasing stations and then distributed to various stores. Large cities like the Capital and Shanghai even have specialized cultural relics shops buying antiques.
