Chapter 214 - 209: Problems With the Accounts
Fang Pingying seeing that he agreed did not inquire more, and said to him, "I bought quite a lot of vegetables from the market today, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Anything will do," Luo Zhiyong said as he walked towards the kitchen. "I’ll go see what you’ve bought."
After rummaging through the vegetables Fang Pingying bought, which were all radishes, potatoes, and cabbages, and with only enough meat for one meal, he couldn’t help but complain, "Why didn’t you buy more meat? You are pregnant now, don’t be frugal with food."
Fang Pingying smiled and said, "I actually wanted to buy more, but there’s nowhere to store it. Even in cold weather, meat goes bad if kept for too long."
"That’s true." Luo Zhiyong thought for a moment, then came up with an idea, "How about this, I can ask the uncle who buys groceries for the cafeteria to help bring some back for us when he goes shopping."
"No, let’s not make my pregnancy seem like something extraordinary and become a laughing stock." Fang Pingying quickly stopped him, "Let’s see later on. If the shop does well, we can buy a refrigerator in the city, that thing can preserve freshness and we won’t have to worry about storing meat for longer."
Generally, most people in this area are from rural backgrounds and aren’t very well-off, preparing meals from their own households simply and plainly, and not many can afford meat for every meal.
If Luo Zhiyong really asked someone to buy meat every day, it would not only trouble others but could also cause gossip, which Fang Pingying did not want to handle in any special way.
"That can be done indeed." Luo Zhiyong didn’t oppose this time, nodded, and said, "Alright, you decide."
At night, Fang Pingying originally planned to cook braised pork with potatoes, but somehow, although she had not had any reactions since getting pregnant, when handling the meat, the smell suddenly made her nauseous. She ran to the bathroom and threw up again, but only spit out some gastric acid.
