“2.8 yuan per catty, it’s not expensive.” (The price is fictional, for storytelling purposes only.) 

The seller quoted the price while holding up the hairtail fish, “It was caught just before dawn and delivered overnight by truck. 2.8 yuan is a fair price, such a good hairtail fish like this is hard to come by.” 

Xuan Hongxia and a few women were startled and exclaimed, “So expensive?” 

The pork meat was only 0.8 yuan per catty, and ordinary hairtail fish was 0.9 yuan per catty. But oh my goodness, this hairtail fish was three times the price of the ordinary ones, even the emperor couldn’t afford it.  

“No, I can’t afford it, it’s too expensive.” 

Several women shook their heads repeatedly. 

One hairtail fish was at least three catties, totaling over ten yuan a piece. It was like eating gold! 

If it were Tang Sanzang’s meat*, they would have bought it decisively, but it was just hairtail fish, so they didn’t want to waste the money for this. 

*Tang Sanzang’s meat : The flesh of the monk. Tang Sanzang is the central character of the classical novel Journey to the West, whose flesh is reputed to have the ability to make its consumer immortal. 

Xuan Hongxia also tried to persuade, “Xiao Chu, just buy one to try. Buying so many, how long will it take you to finish them?”

She had counted earlier, there were twelve fish, costing over 100 yuan. That was one’s whole month’s salary! It felt far too extravagant.

“Such good quality hairtail fishes will be even harder to find later.”

Chu Qiao was unwilling to compromise. She truly believed it wasn’t expensive. 

In the future, even with money, she might not be able to buy such good things. Being able to buy them now was just taking advantage. She firmly believed in living well and not compromising on food. 

“Boss, I will take them all.” 

“Okay.” 

The seller was overjoyed. He weighed the fish neatly, throwing the scale high, “40.2 catties, I will count it as 40 catties, that will be 112 yuan.” 

“Okay, please pack it up for me.” 

Chu Qiao pulled out her wallet. 

Thankfully, she always kept over 100 yuan on hand for emergencies. 

She counted out 11 sheets of Great Unity, added 2 yuan, and handed it all to the seller in one go. 

-The great unity banknote

“I won’t charge you 2 yuan, you are my regular customer.” 

The seller said generously. 

Such a good regular customer like her who never bargained must be won over, he didn’t feel bad about the two yuan.  

“Okay, thank you boss!” 

Chu Qiao was not polite either. She picked up the heavy bag without hesitation, carrying it easily. 

Xuan Hongxia and the others had even more strange expressions, just watching her and hesitating to speak. 

On the way back, someone finally asked, “Xiao Chu, doesn’t Section Chief Gu mind you buying so much food?”

Actually, she wanted to ask, you are such a spendthrift, won’t Chief Gu be angry? 

Buying a month’s salary worth of food at once, what a spendthrift woman! 

Even mountains of gold wouldn’t be able to withstand such spending habits.  

“He doesn’t mind, he eats the most.” Chu Qiao replied with a smile. 

Gu Ye loved to eat the most, he would only be happy, how could he be angry. 

The other people’s eyes were even more indescribable. 

They thought Chu Qiao was a bit foolish, and Chief Gu would definitely have objections. 

Xiao Chu spent money like this, which man could bear it? 

As long as they had good cooking skills, even ordinary hairtail fish could be made delicious without having to buy such expensive ones. 

Moreover, they couldn’t understand why she would buy so much at once. 

However, this was someone else’s family affair. Several women did not ask any more questions. 

They even looked forward to seeing Gu Ye and Chu Qiao quarrel. They would definitely quarrel. This month was not even halfway through, and Chu Qiao had spent a month’s worth of salary. 

Chief Gu would definitely be angry if he knew. 

After returning to the machine tool factory, several women dropped off their groceries and returned to work. 

Xuan Hongxia walked behind, and hesitated several times. In the end, she couldn’t resist and advised, “Xiao Chu, you still need to save some money in the future. Chief Gu might not say anything once or twice, but if you keep spending money like this, he will eventually complain.” 

“En.” 

Chu Qiao obediently responded, she knew that Xuan Hongxia meant well. 

But she would definitely continue to spend money, because she also earned money, why should she save money? 

Xuan Hongxia immediately knew that Chu Qiao didn’t take her words seriously.
