The deal was clearly not going to happen. Yu Songyu and her friends had arrived early at the agreed meeting spot. They sat idly on the Ox Cart, their noses nearly frozen, and Yu Songyu couldn't take it any longer.
"Li Xiu Zhen, are we heading to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative?"
"Huh? I didn't bring any money!"
"I did!"
"But I don't really need to buy anything!"
Xu Zhuzhen was good at saving money but not at spending it. The last time they went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy fabric, she had already splurged by asking Aunt Wang to help make a crossbody bag.
Yu Songyu pouted; shopping wasn't the goal. She mainly wanted to avoid sitting around waiting. Who knew how long Yang Qinghe and the others would take to arrive?
"How about we go grab a bite? Maybe have a bowl of soup to warm up?"
This time, both of them agreed, especially Xu Zhuzhen, who couldn't help but swallow at the thought of that bowl of Hot and Sour Soup.
"Captain Yang, you're here?"
Just as she was about to stand up, Xu Zhuzhen spotted Yang Qinghe and the others walking towards them.
"How did you get here so quickly?"
Yang Qinghe was surprised to see them there; weren't they supposed to be selling goods?
Yu Songyu recounted what had happened, and their faces darkened instantly. That Wang Xiuli was simply an ungrateful wolf.
"Then let's go! What are we waiting for?" Wang Jianjun exclaimed angrily.
"We were planning to have some hot soup while waiting for you!" Xu Zhuzhen couldn't help but chime in, her voice rising. Now that she thought about it, her cravings were stirred up, and if they didn't go, she probably wouldn't sleep well later.
Yu Songyu was well aware of her little thoughts. She smiled and asked, "Brother Jianjun, how about we have a bowl of soup before we leave? It's still early!"
"Sure!"
Now that they were at the State-Owned Hotel, they couldn't just have soup. They ordered several dishes, including Yu Songyu's favorites: Braised Pork and Sweet and Sour Fish.
How is everyone enjoying the food? Do you find the flavors of our dishes to your liking?
While they were halfway through their meal, a person who looked like a leader from the area approached them, inquiring about the taste of the food in a humble tone.
It's quite good, the flavors are nice, and the prices are reasonable. Especially this Braised Pork and these Sweet and Sour Fish Fillets—they're delicious!
Yu Songyu didn't hold back on her praise; good is good, and bad is bad.
I'm glad you like it, but it's just a coincidence that you came today. These Sweet and Sour Fish Fillets aren't available every time.
Oh? What do you mean by that?
Isn't it winter? Fish are basically not available!
The leader looked troubled as he explained that previously, when officials from the county came to inspect work, they specifically requested to be hosted at their State-Owned Hotel. Unfortunately, on that day, they ordered Sweet and Sour Fish Fillets, but they couldn't prepare them. Why? Because there was no fish!
Yu Songyu suddenly remembered that there was a river called Dahe running through her village. On her first day here, she had eaten fish stewed by Aunt Wang.
If I could get some fish, would you accept it?
Yu Songyu looked at the person in front of her and asked tentatively.
You can get fish? Of course we would accept it! But is your fish fresh?
After all, when it comes to cooking, restaurants are very particular about the freshness and quality of their ingredients.
You can rest assured about that. I just wonder if there are any specific requirements regarding the type of fish?
Yu Songyu knew that there were many varieties of fish in the Dahe River. It was necessary to clarify some things in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble.
