Chu Qiao thought there was some big secret, but when she heard the reason, she smiled and said, “Sister Hongxia, do you want to make a bet with me? My husband will definitely sell it. Let’s bet for three months. Within three months, at least one machine tool can be sold, do you believe it?” 

“No way, even in three years, no one’s managed it.” 

Xuan Hongxia didn’t believe it at all. 

Other than mandatory exports, there hadn’t been a single sale in three years. Selling one was nearly impossible. 

Chu Qiao smiled and said, “Come on, let’s bet ten yuan, okay?” 

“What are you betting on?” 

The women behind heard it and came over to join in the fun. 

Chu Qiao said the bet and everyone’s eyes were as Xuan Hongxia’s, looking at Chu Qiao as if she was a fool.  

“Xiao Chu, we’re not betting, you will definitely lose.” 

Several women kindly advised her, feeling that it wasn’t fair to take her money. 

“Not necessarily! I believe in my husband. Let’s do it, starting today. If he sells a machine tool within three months, I win, and you each will give me ten yuan. And If I lose, I’ll pay each of you ten yuan!”

Chu Qiao pulled several women into the bet. Ten yuan wasn’t a small sum, it could buy over ten catties of meat.

A few women were tempted, wasn’t this the fatty meat that was delivered to their doorstep? So they just agreed and said, “Then don’t cry if you lose.” 

“I won’t, my husband has money, and moreover, I might not even lose!” Chu Qiao said with a smile. 

She was sure to win, she had confidence in Gu Ye. 

Several people went to buy meat while talking and laughing. 

Xuan Hongxia and the others bought more fat and less lean meat. 

Fatty meat could be used to make oil, and their husbands basically do physical work and liked to eat fatty meat. 

“I want both that tenderloin and this piece of pork belly, well, take two catties of this pork shoulder.” 

Chu Qiao skillfully picked the meat, planning to make different dishes: stir-fried tenderloin pork with the tenderloin meat, red braised pork belly with the pork belly meat, and dumplings with the pork shoulder. 

The butcher was also very familiar with her, he cut the meat with a smile, and also added two pork bones, “This is for you to cook soup.” 

-Stir fried tenderloin pork 

-Red Braised Pork Belly / Hong Shao Rou 

-Dumplings / Jiaozi

Regular customers always get good treatment, and Chu Qiao never bargained when buying meat, and was particularly easygoing. The butcher liked to deal with such straightforward and generous buyers. 

“Thank you boss! Save me a pork belly for tomorrow!” 

Chu Qiao ordered a pork belly, planning to make tripe with glutinous rice again. 

She also liked pork bones, which could be stewed in broth. 

The pork bones she just got were not valuable, and the butcher often gave them to her. 

-Tripe with glutinous rice

”Sure, I will keep one for you.” The butcher readily agreed. 

Xuan Hongxia and the others bought some more vegetables. 

With meat and vegetables in hand, they felt their meals were quite good. 

Compared to a few years ago, life was now like heaven, there was so much more abundance of material resources. 

“I still need to go buy some seafood.” 

Chu Qiao put the meat in the basket along with the vegetables she had bought. 

The others gave her strange looks, and someone couldn’t help but ask, “You already bought so much meat, is it still not enough?” 

“It’s not enough. Gu Ye, Dabao and Xiaobao eat a lot. They also eat a lot of vegetables and seafood.” 

Chu Qiao explained as she walked. 

The others followed her, curious to see how much more she would buy.  

The seafood seller greeted her enthusiastically as soon as he saw her, “Today’s hairtail fishes are super fresh, they were just transported straight from Zhoushan, look how big and shiny they are!” 

Chu Qiao saw the fish, which was indeed quite fresh, plump and tender, as wide as her palm. Such high-quality hairtail fishes would be hard to come by later, so she smiled and said, “I’ll take them all.”

There were about ten of them, each weighing around three catties, which was enough for a big dish. 

The seller grinned from ear to ear. The hairtail fishes were expensive and hadn’t sold yet, but he wasn’t worried at all, as he had just been waiting for Chu Qiao to come and buy them. 

Chu Qiao turned to Xuan Hongxia and the others, “Do you want to buy some? These hairtail fishes are really good, can be steamed and braised, it would be delicious.” 

Xuan Hongxia was a little tempted, these hairtail fishes looked really good, so she asked, “How much does it cost per catty?”
