Chapter 496 Buying Beef (1)
Zhang Xu nodded when he heard the little girl's words, and then said: "I will ask someone to find these two books for you."
"Um."
"Hurry up and put away those things on the table. Although those things are not eye-catching, they are not suitable for taking out now."
"I see." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she packed up her things and hid them in her room. She planned to put them in the space when Zhang Xu returned to the mountain.
"Knock-knock...kkkkkk...."
As soon as Lu Xiaoxiao packed her things, she heard a knock on the door. She couldn't help but muttered in her heart what happened these two days, why so many people knocked on her door.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the gate of the courtyard and opened the door, and saw the second sister standing at the door of her house, so she said to the second sister, "Second sister, come in and sit down, is it cold this way?"
"It's not cold. I'm sweating after walking for so long. I came to you today to ask if you want to buy beef." The second sister said after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"Where is beef sold?" Lu Xiaoxiao immediately asked after hearing what the second sister said.
"It is sold in Hongxing Village. Two days ago, a cow in Hongxing Village broke its leg, so their village applied to the organization to kill the cow."
"I want to buy, should I go now?"
"right."
"Then wait for me, I will go into the house and take off the pannier and go with you."
"good."
When Lu Xiaoxiao walked into the main room, she turned to Zhang Xu and said, "A little sister in the village and I went to the next village to buy beef. If you don't come back at noon, you can heat up the chicken soup that you didn't finish yesterday on the small stove for lunch."
Zhang Xu nodded when he heard the little girl's words, then took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to the little girl, "Buy more."
Lu Xiaoxiao was not polite to Zhang Xu, she just took the money from Zhang Xu, and said, "No problem."
"Be careful on the road." Zhang Xu said when he saw the little girl walking out of the house.
"knew."
"Xiaoxiao, was someone talking to you in the room just now?"
"Well, my brother is recuperating at my home." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing what the second sister said.
"Don't you have no relatives?" The second sister looked at Lu Xiaoxiao suspiciously and asked.
"The son of my father's comrade-in-arms."
"So it's like this. I thought it was your long-lost brother just now." The second sister said after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"Hehe... How is it possible, my father only has one daughter like me." Lu Xiaoxiao said with a smile when she heard what the second sister said.
"Hmm, I was just thinking about it."
"Second sister, how far is it from our village to Hongxing Village?"
"It will take about an hour to walk."
"So far? It's almost the same distance as going to the county seat." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing what the second sister said.
"The distance is not far, but the current weather is bad and the road takes so long. If it is in summer, it will take 20 minutes."
"You, then let's hurry up and go, don't go late, the meat will be picked away."
"good."
An hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao and her second sister came to the sun-drying field in Hongxing Village. She saw the butcher dissecting a cow there, so she asked her second sister, "Second sister, what part of the meat do you want to buy today?"
"I don't buy meat."
"If you don't buy meat, what are you doing all the way to Hongxing Village?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked her second sister with a puzzled expression after hearing what she said.
"I'm here to buy bull heads today." The second sister replied after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
