Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1378: Chapter 1375: Buy It Back

Chu Zhiwen was somewhat curious, “What’s the basket for?”

The waiter standing beside him explained enthusiastically, “The shop has a lot of merchandise, and to take into account that customers cannot carry too much at once, we use baskets to hold the items. When you’re ready, you can just carry the basket to the checkout counter at the entrance to pay.”

“This method is good, and there’s no need to worry about people taking advantage of the confusion,” Chu Zhiwen said as he stepped forward to pick up a basket and followed along the clear path, “Let’s go, let’s go buy chicken wing tips first, if we’re late there won’t be any left.”

Madam Liu saw his enthusiasm and did not object, following him to the area selling fresh food items.

Indeed, the scene was bustling with activity, and many customers hadn’t managed to get what they wanted.

“I want to buy chicken wings, how come there are none left?”

“Esteemed guest, the meat in our shop is freshly slaughtered on the spot to ensure freshness. We had prepared a hundred chicken wings earlier, but they’ve all been sold. You could have a look at chicken legs or chunks, they are also very fresh and delicious, and the prices vary too.”

“Why is no one buying these chicken wing tips?” Chu Zhiwen finally squeezed through and was surprised to find that no one was competing with him for the chicken wing tips.

Someone nearby heard him and laughed, “There’s hardly any meat on those chicken wing tips, who would buy that if they’re not too flush with silver to care.”

Chu Zhiwen fumed, “Hey, what do you mean by that, how could it not be delicious? There is a dish that’s really good with chicken wing tips.”

“Psh, such a fool.”

The others simply did not believe him.

Chu Zhiwen, looking at the seventy or so chicken wing tips left, didn’t even furrow his brow and just bought them.

After seeing him make the purchase, Madam Liu took another round through the shop, picking up some daily necessities.

Only then did they leave the place.

Other meats had nearly sold out because their prices were rather ordinary, and the locals who were used to buying food knew there was a profit to be made and naturally took advantage of the bargain.

The slightly poorer could buy the cheaper cuts, while those with more substantial means naturally chose the meatier parts.

“What’s going on, where are the chicken wing tips, why are there none left?” A servant boy who arrived late saw that the counter was bare and wailed, “You all said you didn’t like chicken wing tips, how did they sell out so quickly?”

“Weird folks are indeed plentiful these days,” said the person who had spoken before, mumbling to themselves as they were effectively made to eat their words.

The waiter in charge of sales laughed upon hearing this, “Don’t worry everyone, there’ll be more freshly slaughtered meat available shortly.”

This satisfied the other customers.

Meanwhile.

Chu Zhiwen arrived home.

Carrying the chicken wing tips in his hand, he went straight to the kitchen.

“Dad, you’re back?” Madam Zhang and Chu Lin were both at home. Seeing their elders return, they hurriedly greeted them.

Chu Zhiwen, without waiting for them to ask, took the initiative, “Eldest daughter-in-law, I’ve just bought some chicken wing tips. I remember the third daughter-in-law once made a dish. Do you know how to prepare it?”

Madam Zhang’s culinary skills were quite good, but previously, she had been reluctant to use much oil, which naturally affected the taste.

After receiving tips from Ye Muyu and opening their food shop, her skills had significantly improved.

Although she couldn’t make as many dishes as Ye Muyu, she had mastered a few specialties.

And cooking chicken wing tips was one of her specialties because the memory of making them was etched in her mind, given that ordinarily, no family would kill dozens of chickens just for a plate of chicken wing roots.

At the time, she thought such a dish was something only wealthy households could afford.

Madam Zhang nodded, “Dad, I can make it, but it’s been a long time since I last did, so I can’t guarantee the taste will be the same.”

“No problem, just give it a try. Also, since we bought a lot of chicken wing tips this time and can’t eat them all, you can take the leftovers to your shop to sell. If they taste good, you can help to sell them too.”
