Happy Day 18: Dairy Products
The weather was nice this weekend, with the temperature dropping below 30 degrees Celsius. It finally felt like autumn.
For a few others, this weekend is a time for them to take a day off and go out with friends to relax and unwind.
For Jiang Muyun, who had been idle for several days, this was like a otaku student staying at home during the holidays, but her parents wanted to drag her out to travel.
In just a few days, Jiang Muyun had forgotten the energetic self who ran around the factory every day.
In comparison, Jiang Muyun felt that he was happier during the days when he stayed at home like a lazy fish.
Qin Shiwu's car was temporarily requisitioned as a truck, and the remaining three people and a dog followed Qin Shiwen's car.
Two cars were packed with people and drove towards the wetland park on the outskirts of Nanshi. Along the way, many people with their families could be seen out to play.
When the car drove to the place where they could camp, they found that many tents had already been set up on the lawn.
They arrived relatively early and successfully found a flat grassland. Zhao Jiahao also carefully examined the humidity of the grassland.
Jiang Muyun tied Xiaobai to the side of the car, and Qin Shiwu picked up Zhao Jiahao: "Stop looking, come and move the things."
Li Anxuan dragged the tent out of the car, put it on the ground with a thud, and shouted, "Don't worry, let's set up the tent and the canopy first, and then move the things out."
A group of novice campers thought it made sense and quickly put down their things to set up the tent.
As a result, five people put together ten pairs of hands, watched the instructional video over and over again, and it took more than half an hour to put together the ultra-lightweight tent that Jiang Muyun bought.
After much difficulty, they managed to move all the necessary things and boxes. The scene looked quite spectacular, and many people around were shocked by the way they were moving things.
After the few people finished the work, they felt dizzy and hungry as if they had fought a battle, and their eyes were so bright that they almost glowed green as they stared at the incubator.
"Make a fire, make a fire!" Jiang Muyun waved his hand and opened a box of charcoal.
Then several people fought with the barbecue charcoal, which was said to be very flammable, for almost an hour. The mulberry paper rolls and wood chips were almost burned out, and the fire could not be successfully started.
Several young people who once said, "It's just lighting a fire, anyone can do it, why do I need a tutorial?" have lost their stubbornness.
Zhao Jiahao thought about the fire cases he had seen, and the causes of fires were all kinds of strange.
Now they tried to light the fire with the flammable materials themselves, but they couldn't.
Trainee firefighter Zhao Jiahao murmured, "This shouldn't be the case. All the conditions are met, so why isn't it igniting?"
The four people, covered in dust and hungry, were now holding their phones with a look of despair as they searched for tutorials. Xiaobai was so anxious that he ran back and forth around them.
What instant noodle biscuits do you want to eat? They don’t exist.
This fire must be lit today! This is a matter of dignity!
Jiang Muyun was not surprised by this result at all.
Are you kidding? If you fill the barbecue grill with charcoal and then try to light a fire, there’s no way it will light up!
What they are holding is mulberry paper, not spray □□!
But she couldn't say it.
Because she relied on her newbie face that "barbecuing requires covering the entire grill with charcoal" to trick a group of newbies into buying more than a dozen boxes of smokeless charcoal.
The middle-aged man next door who was taking his children out to play finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Under the uncle's guidance, they put the charcoal piece by piece to form a hollow frame, and then lit the alcohol block that the uncle gave them as a kind gift. After waiting for two minutes, the charcoal caught fire.
Li Anxuan almost cried with joy.
It was the first time he was so happy to see a fire.
The uncle looked at the silly kids lovingly and reminded them before leaving: "Just grill it like this. Add more charcoal when you see only a small part is left. Add it piece by piece slowly. Don't pile it all in."
The five tall and strong young men nodded obediently and were almost lining up to salute the uncle.
The chaotic camping activities continued until the evening, and they didn't use up a box of carbon.
Things like instant noodles were not even touched.
Things that are hard to come by are more likely to be cherished. Several people have been competing with barbecue all day long. They even insist on skewering fish balls with bamboo sticks and grilling them.
The food grilled with this pile of charcoal is more delicious than that made in any other restaurant.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill and had a great time, they drove home laughing and talking happily. After parking the car in the garage, they began to worry about the pile of cardboard boxes.
Jiang Muyun said sincerely, "I didn't spend any money on these things. They are all yours. Feel free to take them. Don't be shy."
During the previous large-scale purchase, the other four people said that Jiang Muyun provided the tents, awnings, tables, chairs, benches and other items, and they were responsible for the water supply.
The barbecue grill and the gas stove are easy to deal with. The two families can just take one back.
The leftover barbecue, hot pot meatballs, snacks, and untouched instant noodles and biscuits are also easy to deal with. Everyone can pick a few and share them.
Even if you don't cook at home, you can keep it in the refrigerator so that it won't run away. Just in case you feel like cooking one day.
The only trouble is those large boxes of unclaimed smokeless charcoal.
This thing is so expensive, but I can't bear to throw it away. I want to move it back home, but I always feel that it is reminding me that I am a big victim.
Jiang Muyun took the tent bag out of the car and asked innocently, "Aren't you going upstairs?"
Li Anxuan was silent for a moment, then suggested, "Each of you carry two boxes, and give the extra to Jiang Muyun as the tent rental."
Zhao Jiahao strongly supports his good brother: "No problem, it's decided."
We should all be embarrassed together. When we bought the carbon, everyone agreed unanimously and no one thought there was anything wrong with the quantity they purchased.
Qin Shiwu looked at his watch and said thoughtfully, "It's eight o'clock now..."
Qin Shiwen, as Qin Shiwu's brother, immediately understood: "The 955 workers have all returned home, and the 996 workers haven't left yet. The dinner party hasn't ended yet, and those who ate at home have already finished. Aunt Wang and the others should be taking a walk outside to digest their food."
Jiang Muyun also showed the tacit understanding with his childhood sweethearts: "Let's take the elevator directly from the B1 floor. We will definitely not run into Aunt Wang and the others."
The scene of being surrounded and questioned by a group of neighbors is simply a nightmare for contemporary young people.
The horror is no less than the soul-searching questions from elders during the Chinese New Year: "What was your ranking in the final exam?", "How much is your salary?", "Do you have a partner?", "When are you going to have a child?"
Among all the people present, except Jiang Muyun, there should be no one who is not afraid of being stopped by Aunt Wang.
Zhao Jiahao and Li Anxuan also looked sympathetic.
The only time they were pulled aside by the aunties to chat about family matters was when they had just moved in, and Jiang Muyun was blocking the way in front.
But when they were still in school, they also experienced the nightmare of being pulled over by neighbors to ask about their grades.
We live in the same world and have the same neighbors. In any community with many acquaintances, we can never escape this.
If they were stopped by the ladies again and asked why they brought back a pile of coal, they really wouldn't know how to explain it.
I can't bring up all the stupid things I did all over again, right? The best I can do is just "hmm" and "ahh" and play dumb.
Even someone as outgoing as Zhao Jiahao would be dumbfounded when faced with such an awkward conversation.
What happened to the cold neighborhood relations in big cities?
A group of young people who yearn for the cold and ruthless metropolis got on the elevator with trepidation. Even Xiaobai was infected by the atmosphere and walked stealthily all the way.
As expected, there were not many people going home at this time. The elevator stopped for a while on the first floor, and a few unfamiliar neighbors got on. Then it went smoothly all the way to the fifteenth floor.
It was not until they walked out of the elevator and stood in the corridor on the 15th floor that they breathed a sigh of relief and went home with their belongings.
Jiang Muyun was in a great mood at the moment as he had achieved his goal. Moreover, after going out for some exercise, the laziness that made him not want to go anywhere was gone.
It’s time to get down to business tomorrow!
Jiang Muyun was rubbing Xiaobai's body, who was covered in dirt after playing today, and he felt inexplicably excited.
The next day, Jiang Muyun, who was in high spirits and ready to get down to work, locked Xiaobai up alone at home.
Just before Jiang Muyun left, Xiaobai still kept pulling at her trouser legs, trying to soften her heart by acting coquettishly and pitifully.
The bad sister was cold-blooded and heartless. She grabbed Xiaobai by the scruff of the neck and dragged it away.
Then he successfully closed the door before Xiaobai pounced on him.
Jiang Muyun was going to go wholesale some protein today. The place probably wouldn't welcome pets, so he had to leave Xiaobai at home to guard the gate and prepare for the required courses on raising a domestic dog in advance.
There are quite a lot of dairy processing factories around Nanshi, and they have all the major well-known brands.
Jiang Muyun picked out the brand she drank most often and bought a lot of fresh milk, yogurt, and milk powder. She even didn't forget the cheese she had been craving for.
The price of domestic cheese brands is a huge discount compared to imported brands. When Jiang Muyun saw the price, he began to think of all the ways to eat cheese.
Since the processing plants are all owned by major brands, Jiang Muyun was not able to buy unpackaged products at the source factory at the cheapest price as she had hoped - they all have automated production lines and provide one-stop services from processing to packaging, and the products are packaged when they leave the factory.
But Jiang Muyun was very satisfied to be able to buy it at the current price.
Jiang Muyun takes half of fresh milk and yogurt, half of which are stored at room temperature and half in the refrigerator.
All the products he wanted were the brand's best-selling ones, except for milk powder and cheese, which Jiang Muyun chose in large packages.
The reason is simple: it’s cheap.
After buying the dairy products, Jiang Muyun’s budget for stocking up was almost up.
Before Jiang Muyun finished shopping, he bought everything according to his budget, and every savings was a surprise.
At that time, everything seemed cheap to her, and the goods she could buy with the predetermined amount were always more than she expected.
Now that he had finished shopping and entered the free shopping phase, Jiang Muyun felt that everything was good, but also very expensive and he could not afford anything.
After ordering the dairy products, Jiang Muyun reluctantly ignored all the signs on the street that said cold drink wholesale and headed straight to the farm on the outskirts of the city.
The eggs haven't been bought yet, so she has to be more restrained for now.
The author has something to say:
I made up this method by watching other people's camping videos of people lighting charcoal fires. I've never been able to succeed. Every time I can only gather a bunch of dead branches and hay, and then throw the charcoal into the fire. How long it takes to burn the charcoal is basically a matter of luck.
