Shen Wu did not agree to this person. He smiled politely and said that he wanted to buy some goods, then left with Gu Zhou.

What she didn't know was that the young man who had been smiling innocently before also quickly left after she turned around, and in the deserted alley, he put away his smile and looked serious.

"I feel this matter is a bit strange," Shen Wu said as he walked with Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhou nodded: "I also think something is wrong. Why doesn't he hire a professional chef, but instead comes to us?"

Shen Wu didn't understand and didn't dare to think about it anymore. The ancient times were so chaotic, she was afraid that he was raping beggars or kidnapping girls from good families.

But it was a bit strange. The man didn't seem to realize her identity as a girl and still called her "little brother". She should think carefully about what he said.

“Is this person our old customer?”

Gu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I have been here several times. I came here before I started selling tofu and shepherd's purse."

Shen Wu was surprised that he could remember something that happened so long ago, and couldn't help but cast a surprised look at him: "You have a pretty good memory."

Gu Zhou felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, so he followed her and stopped to hide from someone, rubbing his nose and replied: "No, it's just that he comes so often that I think his face is familiar."

His shy look was strange and novel. Shen Wu couldn't help laughing and patted his shoulder: "I have seen him many times and I just feel familiar with him but I can't remember when he came. You remember it clearly and have a good brain."

After she finished speaking, she said to the butcher in front of the stall: "Boss, please give us ten kilograms of pork fat and ten kilograms of pork belly."

"Lait 28, pork belly 30, are you sure you want more?"

"really"

The boss recognized the two guys. He came to them to buy lard and meat last time, but he didn't expect them to eat them so quickly.

"Why do you need so much?" Gu Zhou was afraid that the food would go bad if he couldn't finish it, so he opened his mouth to change it, but she pulled his sleeve.

Shen Wu blinked at him: "Brother, what did mother tell father that he wanted more than these? Let's think about it and don't forget it."

"Okay..." Gu Zhou saw her hint, swallowed and replied.

He didn't know what she bought so much meat for, but everything she wanted was useful.

"My brother, the total is 580 Wen"

"Boss, please give us enough weight, otherwise our parents will spank us when they get home."

The boss was not bad either. He was smiling and joking while talking. Besides, he had been doing business for so many years and had never shortchanged himself. Even if he had no conscience, he still had to have dignity when doing business in this old street: "Don't worry, little brother, I will never shortchange you. I, Wang Lao Hu, have been running a butcher shop for so many years and I will never let myself down once."

"That's right. If you weren't so honest, my parents wouldn't let me come to your house again."

The backpack is for carrying bags, but it's okay to carry meat. You can go back and scald it in boiling water and dry it in the sun and it can still be used. Besides, the buns she bought have a bottom lining to prevent them from getting dirty, with a layer of oil paper and a layer of cotton cloth. The meat can be placed in the backpack and stick to the bamboo strips, so it's okay after it's been scalded clean.

After leaving the meat stall, Shen Wu took Gu Zhou to visit a few stalls and bought some radishes. They happened to meet Uncle Li and Uncle Li San who were closing their stalls and going back.

"It's you two!"

Uncle Li and Uncle San were putting away wooden frames when they saw two children coming over, looking here and there.

"Come to the market to buy something?"

Shen Wu nodded: "I haven't been to many houses before, and I wanted to go around when I came back today, but I didn't expect that the two grandfathers were going back as well.

Uncle Li San helped turn the car around and asked the two children to put the backpacks on it: "Hurry up, kids, get on board to go back."
