Chapter 109: Learning from Bai Wei in the Department Store



Although Jiang Sui had repeatedly emphasized before that Xiang Baiwei should not act alone.

If she wanted to go out, she had to wait for him to come back from class, and then he would naturally accompany her for a walk.

But Xiang Baiwei didn't really want to go shopping with Jiang Sui.

Jiang Sui's aesthetic taste was completely in line with Xiang Baiwei's. She was so afraid that she would be indulged in his beauty, unable to resist, and fall again.

Therefore, the bud must be nipped in the bud.

Maybe because it was the weekend, there were a lot of people in the department store, most of them were with their families.

Xiang Baiwei mingled among them, feeling the atmosphere with strong characteristics of the times.

After walking around, she held onto the railing and shook her sore feet.

I don’t feel tired when I work normally, but when I go shopping, my feet will get sore very quickly. It may also be that the shoes I chose today are not comfortable.

Xiang Baiwei followed the crowd and came to a place that sold snacks.

Although this is a department store in the provincial capital, the snacks displayed on the counter are unremarkable and just look unappetizing.

Unlike Xiang Baiwei who came back from the future, there was a large group of children gathered in front of the snack counter.

For these children, this is the best food they have ever seen.

Xiang Baiwei sighed helplessly and moved back to make room for the children.

A parent with a child noticed her and smiled at her sheepishly: "My child is too naughty. He didn't notice there was someone next to him. Did he bump into you?"

Xiang Baiwei looked at the chubby boy beside her and smiled, "No, he's just a kid, it's okay."

After saying that, Xiang Baiwei's gaze fell on the snacks again.

It seems that the best-selling ones are peach candies and glutinous rice strips. These candies are so sweet that Xiang Baiwei feels sick just by looking at them.

But these fruits are very popular.

Xiang Baiwei observed for a while, and after the children in front of her had finished shopping and left contentedly, she approached the counter and asked the female clerk inside: "Do you have any candied fruits or jams here?"

"Yes, please wait a moment! I'll get it for you right away."

The teller quickly brought the things that Xiang Baiwei mentioned.

"We have canned fruit. For pickled fruit, we have prunes, dried apricots, and orange and strawberry jam. Which one would you like?"

Xiang Baiwei looked at the row of bottles and cans the teller was pointing at and lowered her voice: "Which ones are selling best?"

"These two canned fruits, these dried apricots, and peach cakes are all selling well. Every time we purchase these items, we always order a large amount."

Based on the cashier's recommendation, Xiang Baiwei bought all the fruits that sold well. She planned to take them back to her residence and taste them carefully.

Look at these fruits, why they sell so well.

Just consider it as learning for your next workshop.

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me?" Jiang Sui looked at Xiang Baiwei helplessly, not daring to ask, "Actually, I don't have any other intentions. I'm just worried about you and want to go out with you."

"I know you mean well," Xiang Baiwei was not an ungrateful person, "but it's too boring for me to stay here alone. I don't know when you'll be back, and I feel bored sitting in the room. I couldn't help but run out."

Since she said so, Jiang Sui was too embarrassed to continue to hold on to this matter: "Next time, I'll go with you."

Jiang Sui walked to the table and asked, "What are these?"

"I remember that in the winter, you gave me a suggestion, saying that there were many fruit trees on the mountains near Xiangjia Village, and that making jams and preserved fruits and selling them would definitely be very profitable." Xiang Baiwei opened the bag of snacks and gave him some.

"I was thinking about this, and when I was out for a walk, I saw these dim sums were selling well in the department store, so I bought some and planned to study why these things were selling so well."

Xiang Baiwei found that the can of yellow peaches was a little difficult to open. She wanted to use force, but was afraid that her brute force would scare Jiang Sui, so she took out a key from her pocket, pried open the air in the lid, and then unscrewed it easily.

Jiang Sui put down the snacks next to him and was about to come over to help, but his hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly.

Xiang Baiwei didn't give him any chance to show his affection.

Xiang Baiwei unscrewed the can and looked up to find Jiang Sui, who looked embarrassed. Then, based on his movements, she guessed what he wanted to do just now: "Were you trying to help me unscrew the lid just now?"

Jiang Sui shook his head helplessly, withdrew his hand, and said with a bit of frustration: "You don't seem to need me at all. This lid is so difficult to unscrew, but you unscrewed it easily. What's the use of me?"

"No, this kind of thing requires skill. Find a key or a spoon to pry open the air inside, and then it can be opened easily." Xiang Baiwei said as she picked up another unopened can and handed the key to Jiang Sui, "You can learn it too."

Jiang Sui wanted to show off his strength very much, so he just took the can without taking the key. Then, without showing any expression on his face, he exerted great strength with his hands and opened the can with great ease.

Since he had done this, Xiang Baiwei could only follow his wishes and support him: "You are amazing. You can open this can without any effort. Next time if I don't have the right tools to open the can, I will ask you for help."

"With me here, you won't need those tools anymore." Jiang Sui, who had finally shown off, put the can next to Xiang Baiwei with a relaxed demeanor, and clenched and unclenched his right fist hidden behind his back.

Why is the lid of this can so tightly screwed on? I almost made a fool of myself just now.

Fortunately, he unscrewed it perfectly, otherwise, it would have been really embarrassing!

After a brief interlude, the two began to share snacks bought from the department store.

Both of them came from the future and had tasted all kinds of exotic delicacies of that era, so they did not have a high opinion of the so-called delicacies of this era of material scarcity.

But in order not to appear out of tune with the times, the two of them expressed their opinions on the food they tasted, which were much better than their true feelings.

"Although it's not quite to my taste," Xiang Baiwei pushed the Jiangmi Tiao and Mi San Dao aside and shook her head with disinterest, "but overall it tastes pretty good."

"A dessert that has been popular for many years must be thoughtful." Jiang Sui was very satisfied with the cans. "It's refreshing and I've never eaten such delicious cans."

Xiang Baiwei also thought that these cans were good: "But, this thing is not easy to make, right?"

Regarding Jiangmi Tiao and Mi Sandao, I’m afraid some of you may not know them, so Luo Bao put the pictures in the book review section!
