Chapter 18 Supermarket Purchasing Supplies
As he pleases?
Xie Yuchuan paused slightly.
This answer was beyond Xie Yuchuan's expectations.
He pondered for a moment, considered his words in his mind, and asked again in his mind.
"Xie Yuchuan: Does the household god usually prefer rare treasures, or does he prefer tea and rain?"
Xie Yuchuan asked in a tactful and flattering way, but Tu Huan still understood what he meant.
I wanted to ask her whether she preferred vulgar items like gold and silver, or ordinary sacrificial items like incense and vegetarian food.
The two of them are worthy of being the ancient and modern feeding partners locked by the system.
We are in sync.
This is exactly what Xie Yuchuan was thinking.
He had heard a lot about this respected guardian deity since he was a child. Since his ancestors, the most important thing for every generation of the Xie family was to offer sacrifices to the deity at the end of the year.
He was naughty when he was young. Although he knew that worshiping gods was the top priority of the Xie family, he still didn't quite believe it in his heart.
There were also a lot of discussions outside about the rumors in the mansion. He was naughty when he was young and occasionally went home to investigate the matter. He was directly disciplined by his father and thrown into the ancestral hall to kneel down as punishment. He was told to sincerely apologize to the family god before coming out.
When he was extremely hungry in the ancestral hall, he would steal offerings from the altar to fill his stomach when no one was paying attention. However, the gods never came out to "punish" him. Later, he became more and more daring.
When he was old enough to pick up his sword and mount his horse to fight on the battlefield, his father and brothers would force him to go to the ancestral hall to pray to the gods before he could assemble his army and set out.
Regardless of whether he believed it at first, after so many years of being influenced by it, he still believed it in his heart. He also had a set of rules in his mind on how to worship.
But after he heard the voice of the household god with his own ears in the imperial prison, and even received something from the god out of thin air, his thoughts changed completely.
Unable to explain what he was thinking, Xie Yuchuan really wanted to know what she would like at this moment.
Xie Yuchuan didn't notice the thought that flashed through his mind, that he wanted to give the household deity something she really liked.
Tu Huan didn't think much about why Xie Yuchuan suddenly asked her this.
Given his situation, will there be a chance for him to buy something for her?
"You are having a lot of inconveniences now. Don't think too much about it. Wait until the situation gets better." Tu Huan said.
Xie Yuchuan didn't get an accurate answer when he heard this, and felt a little disappointed.
But he didn't dwell on it any further.
Tu Huan looked at the time and it was already past five o'clock.
It should be almost dark over there at Xie Yuchuan's place.
The climate in Daliang is four or five degrees lower than the modern temperature. Tu Huan observed last night that the exiled prisoners were wearing thin clothes, and many of them curled up to keep warm when resting at night.
The quality of clothes worn by the Xie family is not much better.
Tu Huan thought that it would be easy to bear for a day or two, but it would be easy to get sick over a long period of time. With so many people in the Xie family, young and old, she wouldn't know how to save them if they really got sick.
To be on guard against any eventuality, she still had to prepare in advance.
After learning from the experience of insufficient supplies at home, Tu Huan plans to go out and buy more to fill the house!
The money in the bank card has almost been deducted by the system. Fortunately, my family still has 10,000 yuan in cash for emergencies.
Tu Huan changed her clothes and drove directly to the largest supermarket in the city with cash.
The supermarket is on the basement floor of the shopping mall and has a wide variety of goods. She first went to the ATM next to the supermarket and deposited the cash into the card.
Nowadays, electronic payment is more convenient when going out.
The system probably knew that she deposited money into the card to purchase supplies, so there was no pop-up window asking her if she needed to recharge.
There are now a total of twenty-five people in the Xie family, including direct descendants, collateral branches, masters and servants. Food, clothing and medicine are the biggest expenses, especially food.
She always felt that something was going to happen to Xie Yuchuan. While she was thinking about what to buy, she asked him worriedly.
"Tu Huan: Xie Yuchuan, are you still on the way?"
Xie Yuchuan raised his eyes and looked ahead, and replied in a low voice.
"Xie Yuchuan: Still there, just passed the town."
"Tu Huan: Are there many people in town?"
Xie Yuchuan's eyes swept around, fixed their gaze on a few people who suddenly gathered in the crowd for a moment, and then looked away.
He was multitasking, secretly observing the subtle changes in his surroundings while gently responding to Tu Huan in his mind.
"Xie Yuchuan: Yes, a lot."
Tu Huan was pushing the cart to choose things. Sometimes she would suddenly think of an item and was afraid that she would forget it, so she would write it down in the memo on her phone to remind herself.
She found typing too tiring, so she went to pick up items from the shelf while talking to Xie Yuchuan.
Before they knew it, the shopping carts had piled up like a mountain, attracting the attention of the surrounding supermarket employees.
A tall and long-legged young male clerk came over enthusiastically, helped her take the spicy beef jerky she had in her picture, and put it in the shopping cart.
Tu Huan: "Please help me get ten more bags, thank you."
The brand she liked was placed really high up. The male clerk was very nice. After helping her take down ten bags, he saw that her shopping cart was already full and carefully found a place to put them.
She was talking to Xie Yuchuan on voice, wanting him to check the injuries of the Xie family members while he was resting so that she would have an idea when buying medicine.
The employee who helped her get the goods tidied up her cart and politely asked for her opinion.
"You already have too many things and it's easy to fall. Can I push an empty one over for you and put this one in the front checkout area?"
The young male clerk's voice was considerate and enthusiastic.
Whoosh——
A voice message was sent.
Tu Huan nodded quickly and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome. Please take a look around and I'll bring it to you."
The clerk helped push the cart full of goods to the front, and Tu Huan followed the shelves to the convenience food area in the front.
In Songjiang Town, it’s getting late.
In the streets and alleys, shops gradually lit up their lights, illuminating the long street with bright lights.
In order to reduce trouble, Xiong Jiushan ordered the entire exile team to speed up and try to pass through the city as soon as possible.
Outside the city street, there is a main road that runs from left to right. On the left side is an entire residential area, while on the other side there is a large open space used for storing vehicles, horses and goods.
Once you leave the busy street, it's not as lively outside as inside, and the ground is muddy due to wheel ruts and horse trampling.
There are two main streets each from Laiyun Street, and there is the government office of Songjiang Town. Xiong Jiushan has to go to the government office to report.
He instructed his men: "Find a safe place to rest for a while. I'm going to the government office to see His Majesty."
Xiong Jiushan led them to knock on the gate of the government office. The remaining prisoners were urged and beaten by the officers, and finally came out from Laiyun Street without a single one left.
In the unloading area outside the street, each store has arranged staff to monitor the goods, and no one takes care of the less valuable goods.
As night fell, more and more people drove away, leaving a lot of space empty.
Liu Kan shouted all the way from the back of the team, walked up to the leader, and happily stuffed two hot pies and a handful of silver coins into his pocket.
"Don't be too ruthless, kid. The adults don't seem to care much this time, and they know what's going on."
