Xiao Qi woke up, and the familiar mechanical voice rang in his ears again: "The host has won a bonus of 20,000 yuan through his own ability, and has brought positive energy to the classmates around him. As a reward, the host will receive an additional 20,000 yuan. The host is required to spend it within seven days. The additional bonus money cannot be used for reinvestment."
So Xiaoqi saw that the extra reward column on the interface showed 20,000 yuan alone, with a flashing 7 behind it.
The second time he encountered such a reward, Xiaoqi was much more relaxed. After all, there were still 7 days left, so it was easy to spend money.
Today is Saturday, and she only has club activities in the afternoon. She has free time in the morning, but she has an appointment to go to her foreign teacher Grace's house tomorrow. Xiaoqi needs to prepare a gift, so she wants to go to the market in Luoxi Town to see if there is anything she wants.
When Xiaoqi asked everyone if they wanted to go to Luoxi Town, his roommates were all very surprised. They didn't expect that such a study maniac would go shopping.
Now everyone in the dormitory has assumed that Xiaoqi is a study maniac. He seizes every moment he has to study, and studies in all kinds of fragmented time. When he is drying his hair, he can even look down at the Japanese words through his wet bangs.
Similar to Xiaoqi is Gu Yunshu. Gu Yunshu is a novel fanatic. He is used to holding a mobile phone and reading novels while eating. He reads a little while eating, as if he is eating with novels.
If no one disturbs her, she can watch until the end of time.
In the dormitory, Mi'er prefers to go out and do activities. She would go crazy if she was asked to stay in the dormitory and read books all day.
Wei Cheng is a very mediocre person. He doesn't seem to have any particular hobbies. He studies very hard, but he always feels like he has no direction.
But since Xiaoqi asked whether we should go to Luoxi Town, Mier would definitely be the first to agree.
"I've been wanting to go and see it for a long time."
Wei Cheng nodded: "Okay."
Although Gu Yunshu was obsessed with novels, she was still dragged out of the dormitory because she was outnumbered three to one.
She also knew that reading novels all the time was not good, but life was really boring, so novels were still interesting.
The people in the dormitory were very quick to act. They set off directly after dinner. Luoxi Town was just outside the university, just across the bridge, so they walked there. However, they wanted to go to the market, so they had to go to the town center.
There are actually two hotels in the center of Luoxi Town, one is the town guesthouse, and the other is some kind of business hotel. It looks quite tall and is probably the best hotel in the town.
Xiaoqi is thinking of opening a hotel here. Is anyone staying here?
There is an alley entrance in the central square, which is the central vegetable market of Luoxi Town.
It's quite interesting to see a few little girls shopping in the vegetable market. They are curious about everything they see.
The entire city is close to the sea, and there are many seafood products in the market. Kelp is hung wet like a curtain for sale.
There are also mantis shrimps, fresh eels, all kinds of seafood that I have never seen before, strange shells and conches, and weird-shaped fish. But the smell is not very pleasant and is rather fishy.
The mantis shrimps were very big and looked very fresh. Some of them were struggling all the time, and some of them had thin transparent fishing net threads hanging on their bodies. They must be wild mantis shrimps caught in the sea.
The price varies according to the size. The smaller ones are more than 70 yuan per catty, the medium-sized ones are 100 yuan per catty, and the extra-large ones are 120 yuan per catty. I feel that this price is not cheap even for locals.
There is a saying here: Borrowing money to eat seafood does not mean you cannot survive.
Fishermen living near the sea seem to be more relaxed about spending money.
The four people in Xiaoqi's dormitory visited the seafood area of the vegetable market just like they were visiting an aquarium. They felt that there were more species of fish than in the aquarium they had visited before.
Yunshu had never been to a vegetable market before and was quite curious, as her family’s nanny did all these things.
It was quite strange to see a group of people taking photos with their mobile phones. The vegetable sellers were also used to it. They were obviously Enhua students.
Xiaoqi wanted to come here to see if there was anything that could be made into bamboo weaving, but he looked around but didn't see anything. Just when Xiaoqi decided to give up, he saw an old lady selling strawberries at the entrance of the market. The bamboo basket was filled with bright red strawberries, and she was selling them to a foreigner.
“Good, sweet, good, buy!”
The others were amused, and the foreigner also asked, "How much? How much...how much...money?"
"Cheap, cheap, 50 per pound, it costs an escalator!"
As she spoke, she took out a cardboard with Fifty written on it - 50 yuan.
With this mixed communication between Chinese and English, the aunt successfully sold several kilograms of strawberries.
Gu Yunshu likes to eat fruit, which was also sold at the market stall. They asked the price and it was 35 yuan per pound, which was cheaper than the ones sold at school, but it didn’t look very good. Yunshu was too lazy to take it and didn’t buy it.
"It seems that learning a language is really important." Mi'er whispered to the side.
Xiao Qi waited until the aunt made the deal before going forward. He did not try to bargain with the foreigner to prove that he was good at English. Sometimes it's all about survival philosophy. If the foreigner goes in and finds that the strawberries are cheaper, he will naturally not be fooled next time, or he may be willing to buy here if he finds it, thinking it is easier to communicate. It's all personal wish.
"Sister, where did you buy this bamboo basket? It looks great. I want to buy one to put flowers in the dormitory." Xiao Qi asked.
The aunt looked at the students in front of her, but she was not wary. She had just made a deal and was in a good mood. Moreover, the little girl looked very young and lively, but she actually called her "big sister".
"They're not in the bamboo basket market. Go outside to the central square. Across the street, there's a shop selling hardware and other things. The third shop you go in will have bamboo fishing nets and other things. Go there and buy some."
Xiao Qi thanked her and followed the directions the old lady pointed out, and he found the store.
There were really bamboo weavings there, and quite a few people were making nets. Xiaoqi wanted bamboo strips, not their finished products, which looked rather rough, as if they were disposable.
I asked the boss, and I didn't expect that there were really bamboo strips. It was just that the boss made them himself and never sold them.
Xiaoqi wanted to buy something, but the boss didn't know how to calculate the price.
In the end, he gave me a bundle and charged me ten dollars, and also gave me some hemp rope and other things.
Xiaoqi thanked him, added the boss’ WeChat, and promised to buy from him next time he needed something.
The four of us in the dormitory bought some things and went to a steak restaurant here to eat. It was quite famous and said to be a century-old restaurant. It was not a Western steak restaurant, but a Chinese steak restaurant unique to Mengshi.
Large pieces of bone-in beef are placed in a pot and simmered in braising liquid until they are soft. When eating, a piece is cut off with large scissors. Large pieces of radish are used to make beef bone soup, beef and ginger soup, and mustard rice are also served.
Basically, it is a set meal consisting of a rice, a steak, a carrot soup and a beef slice.
It’s not cheap either, a set meal is 68, and if you don’t want the beef sliders, it’s 53.
Xiaoqi said she would treat everyone, after all, she had won a prize yesterday, and she ordered a 68-yuan set meal for everyone.
It was really delicious. The rice grains were plump and sticky, and it was a little salty with the vegetables. The steak was very soft, especially the tendon parts, which were chewy and even Yunshu, who doesn't like to eat, finished a bowl of rice.
You can add unlimited rice, so Xiaoqi added another bowl of rice.
Originally, we wanted to add two more bowls, but Yunshu couldn't finish her beef noodles, and Mier hardly touched her carrot soup, so we gave it all to Xiaoqi. However, it was a good thing for both of them, as it was rare for them to eat so much. Mier also ate most of the bowl of rice. Usually, she was clamoring to lose weight and not eat staple foods.
Wei Cheng finished his normal meal and didn't ask for more.
After the four of them finished their meal, they slowly walked back to school.
On the way, Wei Cheng smacked his lips and savored the taste: "The steak is really delicious, but it's too expensive. When I have more money in the future, I will eat it every day."
Everyone else laughed. Wei Cheng was very naive about this.
Today's steak was really good. The taste of the steak made in that restaurant was very authentic. It must be a unique recipe of their family. It was not greasy at all. I still had a lingering aftertaste after eating it. I always want to go there again next time.
"When anyone in our dormitory gets a bonus or achieves something, we'll go eat together." Mi'er said.
Lian Yunshu was very enthusiastic and said, "It seems that the flower arranging club is having a flower arranging competition. Why don't I go and participate?"
Now it was Wei Cheng's turn to feel bald. She felt that she had no special talents or advantages, and had no idea what she could do...
Xiao Qi also smiled and said: I will try my best to let Wei Cheng eat more steak!
