Chapter 142: Cleaning up the house and stocking up on autumn vegetables
"Also, I want to criticize you seriously!"
"?"
Lin Siqiao blinked, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Sure, Lu Jianchuan!
Lin Siqiao raised the corner of his eye, and the meaning was very clear. Tell me, I want to hear how you plan to criticize me?
Unexpectedly, Lu Jianchuan sighed, walked forward and hugged the person, his tone was less serious, but more helpless.
"Xiao Qiao, I protest."
"You shouldn't have deprived me of my right as a man to take care of my woman without consulting me."
“…”
Lin Siqiao was stunned for a moment. In fact, what Lu Jianchuan said was not wrong.
But the problem is that I have my own space, and it is really inconvenient to bring him along.
Speaking of space, this is also a big problem.
Frankly speaking, Lin Siqiao had no intention of confessing anything.
First of all, this matter is too unbelievable.
Secondly, she didn't think her feelings for Lu Jianchuan needed to be proven by the confession.
Since there is no way to explain it, let’s not talk about it for now. Lin Siqiao obediently gave in.
"You're right. I didn't think this through."
"I will pay attention next time and definitely give you a chance to show off!"
There’s no need to wait until next time. Lin Siqiao pointed at the furniture in the room.
"I'll leave all of this to you today. I can't carry it all by myself."
Hearing this, Lu Jianchuan chuckled.
Almost at the same time, the man cupped her cheeks and bit her lips hard with a bit of dominance.
“Hmm.”
Lin Siqiao was so angry that she glared at him fiercely, then ran into the bathroom.
"Lu Jianchuan!"
Lin Siqiao leaned out half of his body and yelled at him while brushing his teeth.
"From now on, you are not allowed to kiss me before I brush my teeth and wash my face!"
"Did you hear that?"
The two have been together for some time, and Lu Jianchuan knows very well that whenever she calls him by his full name.
This means he must have pissed someone off.
At this time, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, so it’s better to just work hard.
When Lin Siqiao came out after washing up, Lu Jianchuan had already rolled up his sleeves and started working.
She wanted to help, but Lu Jianchuan didn't let her.
She can't move big things, and there's no need to ask her to move small things.
The most important thing is that the aisle in front of the door is relatively narrow, so items like the bed, double-door wardrobe, and bookshelf can only be disassembled first and then assembled after moving in.
“Do you have a screwdriver at home?”
"Yes, I'll get it for you."
Lin Siqiao found it and gave it to him. Fortunately, the person in charge told her about it after buying the furniture yesterday.
Otherwise she really wouldn't have remembered to have this at home.
Lu Jianchuan was careful and attentive, but his movements were not slow at all.
The screwdriver flew up and down in his hands, and soon the double-door wardrobe was disassembled into boards of different sizes.
Lin Siqiao ignored his objection and carried the board back to the master bedroom.
The home belongs to both of them, there is no reason for him to be busy here alone, not to mention that these things are not important.
The two of them divided the work and worked together, so the work was done quickly.
By eleven o'clock, all the furniture was where it belonged.
Lin Siqiao fetched a basin of water and wiped all the furniture inside and out, leaving the places that could not be reached to Lu Jianchuan.
During the chat, Lin Siqiao learned that when Lu Jianchuan was cleaning the house some time ago, his roommates and Aunt Fu came to help.
Including the things he purchased, he also asked others for help with the bills.
Lin Siqiao thought for a moment and said, "How about inviting them over for dinner next week?"
Lin Siqiao is not planning to have the housewarming wine.
But since they have helped so much, it is reasonable to treat everyone to a meal, otherwise it would be unreasonable.
"Okay, I'll talk to them later."
"By the way, have you got your grain book, non-staple food book, and coal purchase certificate?" Lu Jianchuan suddenly asked.
Grain
Coal
Beijing's food license is now ready.
Lin Siqiao took the thing out, and Lu Jianchuan took a look and said.
"Let's go to the cafeteria and have something to eat later."
"After we finish eating, we have to go to the nearby coal shop to reserve some coal briquettes."
While he has free time today, he has to help buy all these things.
Lin Siqiao thought so too. It was already winter, and every household had to purchase coal briquettes for heating.
If you go late, you may not be able to queue.
Speaking of queuing, Lin Siqiao suddenly remembered.
When she came back yesterday afternoon, she saw a long queue at the door of the service center, and she didn't know what they were buying.
She planned to go over and ask when she passed by later.
This question is not a big deal, it turns out that everyone is busy stocking up on autumn vegetables.
Every November, cabbages are piled up like small mountains in grocery stores of all sizes, supply and marketing cooperatives, and even on the roadside and at the entrances of alleys in Beijing.
Although there are greenhouse vegetables in winter, the varieties are very limited and the prices are ridiculously high.
Unlike this time, it’s cheap.
Chinese cabbage is divided into three grades according to its quality. The first-grade cabbage has the firmest heart, each weighing more than 10 kilograms.
This is supplied with a non-staple food book, and each person only has 20 kilograms, with the price ranging from 0.25 to 0.3 cents per kilogram.
The dull ones are level two dishes, and the heartless ones are level three dishes. There is no limit on the quantity of both types.
The price is between 1 and 2 cents per catty, but you can't keep it after you buy it, so you can only use it to store sauerkraut.
Lin Siqiao doesn’t like anything salty, and she doesn’t know how to make sauerkraut because it’s not taught in the cooking class.
She planned to buy less just to show her appreciation.
"How many people are there in your family?" The vegetable seller raised her eyelids.
Lu Jianchuan was standing right next to them, and Lin Siqiao also gave him a portion.
"Two people."
"If you are a couple, 200 kilograms is enough for you to eat."
Although the vegetable seller's tone was not very pleasant, she was actually quite enthusiastic.
When I heard that Lin Siqiao had a southern accent, I talked to her a lot.
"Remember to dry the cabbage in the sun after you buy it, so that the outer green leaves will dry out and wilt."
"You have to tear off the rotten yellow leaves on the outside of the dried cabbage and wrap it in some old newspapers."
"If you have a storage room at home, you can use it. If you don't have one, just take a few bricks and find a few boards, and stack them layer by layer."
"Just put up a few straw curtains now. When it gets colder, if you have any old quilts you don't want at home, just put them on top. I guarantee you'll have no problem eating until March next year."
The other person said so much with good intentions, so Lin Siqiao must accept the favor.
"Thank you, sis."
"It's a good thing you told me, otherwise I wouldn't know this."
When the vegetable seller heard this, she immediately straightened up and her expression became lively.
"That's not true. Your Nuanhe definitely doesn't know this."
"Let me tell you, there was a southerner in the yard next to us last year."
"He bought several hundred kilograms of cabbage and just piled it outside without doing anything."
"Later, all the cabbages were frozen into lumps of ice."
"This cabbage becomes bitter once it's frozen. It's so bitter that I can't even eat it."
Lin Siqiao smiled after hearing this and said, "Sister, then weigh me 20 kilograms of first-class vegetables, and the rest must be second-class vegetables."
"Okay, listen to me. You can't go wrong by choosing this kind of green cabbage."
"The white one next to it doesn't taste good. It's been cooked for a long time and it still makes a crunchy sound when you eat it. You can't chew it."
The vegetable seller patted her chest and said directly, "If the vegetables you buy don't taste good, come find me!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
In addition to cabbage, Lin Siqiao also bought 100 kilograms of radishes, 100 kilograms of potatoes, and 30 kilograms of green onions.
I paid the money and said goodbye to my elder sister.
After sending all these back, the two men went to a nearby coal shop.
