The woman craving meat noticed that the stall owner was different from those she had encountered in previous transactions.
The man remained completely unmoved. Hadn't she walked far enough? Why didn't he call her back?
With such doubts in mind, the customer slowed her steps a bit.
However, even when she had walked out of the stall's range and was about to reach another stall, the meat - seller didn't come to stop her.
The woman's face immediately fell.
Just then, she saw a young woman approaching. The young woman bypassed her and headed straight for the meat stall.
The young woman was none other than Yuan Tiantian.
The woman somehow reached out and grabbed Yuan Tiantian.
Yuan Tiantian: “??”
She was grabbed by a strange woman. Yuan Tiantian was completely confused. She stopped, turned around, and stared blankly at the woman who had grabbed her.
“Girl, don't buy from this stall. Their pork is outrageously expensive!”
The woman leaned over to Yuan Tiantian and whispered in her ear. As she spoke, she furtively glanced at the meat stall.
Yuan Tiantian couldn't help but find it funny. Then she gently pushed the woman's hand away.
“Thanks for the warning, but I don't think their meat is expensive. You get what you pay for, and their products are worth the price.”
After saying that, Yuan Tiantian was about to leave and tell the boss that she could go with them for the delivery.
She had already bought everything she needed for the day.
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, the woman's face darkened. She looked at Yuan Tiantian as if she were a fool.
“How can it not be expensive? It's one yuan more per catty than others!”
“If you buy a lot, you'll be losing a fortune!”
The woman mumbled in a low voice. However, she also knew in her heart that the quality of this stall's pork was indeed a bit higher than that of others. She was an experienced purchaser. She used to have a regular meat vendor, but the vendor had quit recently, so her regular supply was gone.
That's why she came to the vegetable market.
Yes, this woman was also here for purchases. She worked as a kitchen helper and purchaser for a small local - cuisine restaurant in the town.
Seeing Yuan Tiantian go to buy, she quickly stepped forward. She also fancied this meat. Before, she just hoped to get it at a lower price so that she could get some kickbacks.
Unexpectedly, the stall owner ignored her, and now there was a competitor. Naturally, the woman rushed over quickly.
However, even if she rushed over now, it was already too late.
“I'll take the rest as well.”
“Calculate the total.”
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, the meat vendor was more than happy. He nodded cheerfully.
“No problem. I'll put them together. This amount of meat comes to...”
As soon as the meat vendor reported the price, Yuan Tiantian was about to scan the QR code on her phone. But just as she was about to scan, the QR code on the meat stall was blocked by a hand.
“??”
Yuan Tiantian looked at the person who blocked the QR code with her hand. It was the woman who had grabbed her just now. At this moment, Yuan Tiantian was truly full of questions.
“Ma'am, please move your hand.”
Yuan Tiantian was really speechless. What on earth was this woman up to?
The meat vendor's face darkened when he saw the woman's behavior.
“What are you doing, woman?”
“Why are you blocking my QR code?”
The meat vendor tried to pick up the payment QR code to let Yuan Tiantian scan it. But unexpectedly, the woman directly grabbed the payment code.
Yuan Tiantian: “......”
The meat vendor: “......”
Was this woman crazy?
Yuan Tiantian and the meat vendor exchanged a meaningful look. Then Yuan Tiantian pursed her lips and was about to suggest that the vendor just show his WeChat QR code on his phone so that she could scan it directly.
However, before she could say a word, the woman started to scream.
“Can she eat all this meat by herself?”
“She must be a shill!”
What?
Yuan Tiantian was dumbfounded when she heard the woman's words. How could she come up with such an idea?
The meat vendor's face turned extremely dark after hearing the woman's words. He held back for a long time and finally waved her away like a fly.
“Get out of here. Where did this crazy woman come from!”
“Get out of here right now!”
As he spoke, the meat vendor waved the greasy rag in his hand at the woman.
The woman quickly took a few steps back.
However, her mouth didn't stop at all. She kept babbling.
“Come on. This young girl is buying so much at once. Is she crazy?”
“Who stores more than half a pig?”
The more she talked, the more she thought it was possible. The more she talked, the more she believed that Yuan Tiantian was a shill. Then she looked at Yuan Tiantian and the meat vendor with disdain.
“Don't act like shills anymore. Lower the price by one yuan per catty, and I'll take all of this!”
“I guarantee you'll make a fortune!”
The woman held her head high and talked to herself. Yuan Tiantian sneered when she saw this. The meat vendor kept a dark face the whole time. He looked at the woman as if she were a lunatic.
“Crazy.”
The meat vendor said it out loud. The woman naturally heard it and glared at him. But the meat vendor didn't even spare her a glance.
Yuan Tiantian didn't plan to scan the code for payment anymore. Since she had brought cash, she'd just pay with it.
The meat vendor took the money and carefully put it in the money - collecting box.
After the meat was processed, he put the box on and prepared to go to the store with Yuan Tiantian and then go home.
Seeing the two of them silently packing up and about to leave, the woman immediately panicked.
“Hey, hey, don't go. What about the meat?”
Yuan Tiantian didn't say a word. The meat vendor gave the woman a disdainful look.
“What about it?”
“Of course, there's no share for you!”
“Before you came, this young lady had already bought half a pig. She's just waiting for the delivery and storage.”
“As for the remaining meat, she's also taken it. I charged the original price!”
“You want to buy it all at a lower price? I'm really sorry. There's no more meat!”
After saying that, the meat vendor picked up the pork and walked straight to the electric tricycle behind him without looking back. With a thud, he put the pork into the tricycle.
The meat vendor thought to himself.
Even if there was meat left, he wouldn't sell it to this woman. She was simply crazy, and her words were so unpleasant.
He wouldn't sell to her. Although his pork was a bit more expensive, if he sold it until noon, it would basically be sold out. Even if not, there would only be a little bit of leftover meat.
Today, Yuan Tiantian came to buy it all at once, so the meat was sold faster. Actually, it wasn't much different from his usual sales volume.
However, since he could save some time, he could go home and rest earlier, which was also great.
Hearing the meat vendor's words, the woman's face flushed and then paled.
Her heart was in turmoil. She had missed out on this good meat today!
Thinking of this, the woman felt a bit regretful.
It was just one yuan more. It really wasn't a big deal.
However, it was too late for her to think like this now.
The meat was gone!
