Half a piece is not easy to store, but a whole piece can be placed in a corner for ten days or half a month without going bad. When you want to eat it, just cut off a piece.
Zhang Siyu bought a few fungi and algae like enoki mushrooms, but she also bought two extra bags of long-lasting dried goods like shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and tea tree mushrooms.
"Get two more cartons of eggs. Thirty eggs per carton, easy to finish." Zhang Siyu thought for a moment and picked up another carton.
Fruit is a must-have, and the fruit section of the farmers' market is always bustling with activity. Many people drive in to buy fruit and take it away in boxes.
"Uncle, I want to buy some fruit." Zhang Siyu walked straight to one of the fruit stalls and asked for 5 boxes of tangerines, 3 boxes of apples, 3 baskets of longans, 3 boxes of cherries, 3 boxes of strawberries, and two boxes of pears.
She asked for two varieties of grapes, seedless red grapes and Sunshine Rose grapes, a small basket of each.
There were also 100 kilograms of winter dates and 200 kilograms of rock sugar oranges. Zhang Siyu directly ordered 200 kilograms of grapefruit, and finally asked for two large durians with a few cracks on them.
Grapefruit, apples, and sugar oranges don’t spoil easily, and tangerines are a must-have for the Chinese New Year, so she bought more of these.
Of course, she didn't keep all of it for herself. She planned to send some of it to her aunt.
Although only a few hours' drive away, the price of fruit in the two places is vastly different. Auntie's fruit isn't cheap during normal times, and during the Lunar New Year, prices are ridiculously high. So every year, she buys some fruit from here.
After buying the stuff, loading the car was a big problem. There was so much stuff that Zhang Siyu had to do it in two trips. Even after putting a lot of stuff on the seats, she barely managed to finish loading it in two trips.
She knew the boss, a kind, honest man with a good personality. He offered discounts and rounded off the price, even setting her things aside and asking his son to help her load the car.
Then Zhang Siyu saw two people desperately stuffing things into the back of her car, her face flushed red...
However, the grapefruits were too crowded, and the four snakeskin bags took up quite a bit of space. The boss and his son were at a loss as to what to do with the rest.
"It's okay, uncle, I'll do it." Zhang Siyu closed the passenger door, then walked to the back of the car, pushed with both hands, and instantly squeezed out a small space, and stuffed a small bag of grapefruits on the ground in.
The boss and his son were amazed when they saw it. "Xiao Zhang, you are stronger than two grown men like us!"
"Hahahaha." Zhang Siyu laughed heartily, "Uncle, I have this strength since I was born. I can knock anyone down with just one punch."
Zhang Siyu's words were quite true. She had always been much stronger than the average person, and knocking someone down with a single punch was a glorious achievement of hers as a child.
She was grateful for her strength. Because of it, even though she didn't have her parents' protection, she couldn't let anyone bully her and her sister.
"It's a natural talent, no wonder, I can't compare to him..." The boss smiled and gave a thumbs up, but he just regarded it as a joke about knocking someone down with one punch.
"Uncle, I'll go back first. I wish you a happy new year in advance!" Zhang Siyu got in the car and waved goodbye to the two people.
"Hey, Happy New Year, Happy New Year. Go ahead." The boss waved his hand and watched the pickup truck drive away...
The agricultural wholesale market wasn't far away, so Zhang Siyu only had to drive 5 minutes to get home, and then she began the long process of unloading the goods again. Fortunately, her home was on the second floor; if it were on the fourth or fifth floor, it would have been a bit difficult to manage.
After going up and down, back and forth for more than an hour, Zhang Siyu was exhausted.
After piling up the grapefruits and candied oranges in the corner, Zhang Siyu ate something simple, then sat on the bed to rest for a while and began to think about what else to buy.
There are enough dishes, but the snacks are not prepared yet! Thinking of this, Zhang Siyu instantly revived, stood up, and drove to the nearby supermarket.
During the Lunar New Year, peanuts, melon seeds, and drinks are essential. Zhang Siyu pulled a large bag and filled it with red clay peanuts, five-spice melon seeds, and milk-flavored watermelon seeds, totaling more than 6 kilograms, totaling 20 kilograms.
For drinks, I brought a few bottles of orange juice and coconut milk.
Jelly, cakes, biscuits, candies, and chocolates weigh two, three, four, or five kilograms each.
The nephews all liked cheese sticks, so Zhang Siyu didn't hesitate and bought three boxes. One box weighed 5 kilograms, and three boxes weighed 15 kilograms, which cost about 900 yuan.
Beef jerky and shredded squid, 3 big cans each. I'll buy more after I finish eating them.
After shuffling three more cartons of milk, the shopping cart was full. Zhang Siyu quickly lined up for the self-service checkout, put her groceries in the pickup truck, and then reentered the supermarket.
I just bought milk, and I'm going to buy three cartons of yogurt and a carton of pure milk. I'll also get three snack gift packs and some candied plums and other things.
Let’s buy 3 boxes of potato chips first...and 3 bags of sausages.
Zhang Siyu searched the supermarket for a while, and now the two shopping carts were no longer enough. Zhang Siyu checked out and entered the supermarket again, going to the second floor.
The oil barrel hadn't been bought yet... After some careful selection, Zhang Siyu bought a large, thick stainless steel barrel. Then she bought two cans of milk powder for the elderly and two large bags of plain oatmeal, both of which were naturally for the aunt.
Zhang Siyu walked around and went to the third floor to browse the clothing area.
She actually prepared a lot of clothes for her children. Her three nephews are 11, 7, and 5 years old.
Because the age range is quite large and they stay with her for a few months every year, she has prepared a full set of clothes and shoes.
She had everything prepared for all seasons, from clothes for two or three-year-olds to clothes for fifteen or sixteen-year-olds. The large wardrobe in their room was already quite full, but she still felt it wasn't enough.
An older sister is like a mother, and although they are only eight years apart, she can truly say she was raised by her older sister. Now that her sister is gone, she happens to have some abilities, so she always hopes to give the best to her three nephews...
The clothes in the supermarket weren't particularly impressive... Zhang Siyu looked around but didn't see anything she liked. She simply went to the first floor and picked out a variety of snacks, then grabbed a few large boxes of peeled jackfruit.
An An and the others don't like to eat this, but she likes it. If she didn't find it difficult to peel, she would buy them one by one...
I don’t need paper towels, sanitary napkins, toiletries, etc. for now. I took advantage of the Double 11 event and bought a lot of household items at once, which will last me a long time.
She also splurged on a new bed.
