"Okay," Qin Hong didn't ask too many questions. As long as Zhou Lanping wanted it, she would find it for him.
Moreover, she knew many such big truck drivers, but it was not cheap to go to Yu City. But it didn't matter, she negotiated the price with the driver.
Since it was decided to transport all the scraps of cloth to Yu City, Zhou Lanping did not touch them. She first completed the formalities for the scraps of cloth and placed them with Qin Hong, waiting for the truck driver to confirm before taking them away. With Qin Hong here, there was no need to worry about the shortage of the scraps of cloth. Besides, everyone was busy preparing for the New Year, so who would come and take the scraps of cloth? They couldn't be eaten anyway.
Zhou Lanping originally thought that she might have to wait for a few days, but who knew that Qin Hong would act so quickly and help her find a truck driver the next day. This made Zhou Lanping very anxious. There were still so many things at home that had not been packed. She saw that the truck driver had already packed all the cloth scraps, and now there were only a pile of things at home left. Moreover, she and Liu Liang had to move over with them, and the things had not been packed yet. She was really in a mess.
When the truck arrived and all the things were loaded onto it, Zhou Lanping was so tired that he didn't want to talk anymore.
After checking the circuit and turning off the gas stove, Zhou Lanping locked the door and got into the truck with Liu Liang. But when she got in the truck, she remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to bring a lot of things. She was in such a hurry that her brain was a little insufficient.
"What's missing? Go buy it again."
Liu Jing was sitting on the truck, but she wasn't very cold. She was sitting on soft cloth. They also brought quilts and hand warmers. The wind was blocked outside a pile of snakeskin bags. The small space left for them was really warm.
"That's all we can do."
Zhou Lanping sighed. He had to spend money. If he had known earlier, he would have said a few more words to Qin Hong. Then there would be no need to rush like this.
As the truck drove along, Zhou Lanping felt regretful all the way, thinking about how much was missing. The more she thought about it, the more she blamed herself. It was not just a small amount.
She didn't bring any salt, no washing powder, not even a rag.
Forgive a woman for being thrifty, because her life has always been difficult. Even though she has a huge sum of money in her hands now, she still lives frugally as always.
The speed of the truck was not slow, at least much faster than the bus they took. If they took the bus, it would take at least three hours, but the truck arrived at the destination in less than two hours.
The driver helped put all the things in the car into the house that Liu Liang had rented. This time they brought a lot of cloth scraps, hundreds of bags, and a pile of finished cloth flowers.
Qin Hong and the driver agreed on a fare of fifty yuan per trip, which was considered a friendly price. When the driver left, Liu Liang gave him a plastic bag containing a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine.
The driver took it with a smile, thinking to himself that this trip was really worth it. He had not originally thought about making any extra money, but not only did the driver give him the fare, he also gave him a pack of cigarettes. These cigarettes were good ones, which he usually couldn't afford to smoke, but now he could smoke them for a long time.
When Liu Liang came back, Zhou Lanping put his hands on his waist and was very satisfied with the house Liu Liang rented.
"Jingjing, this place is really nice, much better than our tube-shaped building."
There are many people living in the tube-shaped building, and it is not very convenient to use water and go to the toilet. Here, not only is the space large, there are also running water pipes, and of course independent toilets. You no longer have to compete with others for a toilet.
The more Liu Liang looked at it, the more satisfied she became. When she first rented it, she didn't feel much about it, but now that she has put the things in, it is really worth it.
Liu Liang picked up the snakeskin bag and put it in the corner, freeing up some space.
Zhou Lanping also rolled up her sleeves and helped Liu Jing clean up the house. After both rooms were tidied and their own bedding was laid out, it suddenly felt like normal again.
I also put my own pots and pans in the kitchen, but I was in such a hurry that I didn’t bring many seasonings, such as rice and flour.
Zhou Lanping was struggling all the way, thinking that he had forgotten a lot of things and was afraid of wasting a lot of money. But fortunately, he had brought all the big items with him, and the small items didn't cost much if he bought them again.
Zhou Lanping happily went to a small shop not far away and bought the things he needed, including rice, flour and oil, and spent less than 40 yuan in total.
By the evening, they had already eaten the meal they had cooked.
Liu Liang spread a piece of cloth on a large table. No one knew what this table was used for in the past. It took up some space in the living room, but for them now, it was very practical. They could use it to make cloth flowers.
The table is placed under the electric light. The wattage of the light is very high, so it is also bright. The space is large and the light is bright, so it seems that making cloth flowers is much faster than before.
There were more and more cloth flowers on the other side of the table, and the number of snakeskin bags was decreasing one by one.
Liu Liang walked out of a Chinese medicine store with several bags of Chinese medicine in her hands. After she returned, she soaked all the Chinese medicine in water.
"What's this?"
Zhou Lanping squatted down, wondering what Liu Liang was doing with the grass?
"It can be used as perfume."
Liu Liang poked at some of the herbs inside. To be precise, these could actually be called herbs, and of course they could also be called medicines, but when mixed with several other things, they would create a faint fragrance.
This incense is an ancient secret recipe, which she learned in that place. Once it is made, it can be said that it will last for a long time and can be kept for several months, even half a year, or even more than a year. It will still have a faint fragrance. It is usually used for fumigating clothes and purses. Liu Liang did not remember too much, and only remembered this one recipe, and this one was enough, which happened to add some fragrance to the cloth flowers.
Who says artificial flowers can't have fragrance? The artificial flowers she makes must not only be beautiful, colorful, and charming, but also have flavor.
Zhou Lanping actually had no confidence in these grasses, so she decided to make cloth flowers and let Liu Liang do it.
A few days later, Liu Liang took a small spray bottle and sprayed the water in the bottle on the finished cloth flowers.
“It doesn’t have any smell either?”
Zhou Lanping sniffed it again and again, not knowing whether her sense of smell was poor or if there was no smell at all. In any case, she couldn't smell any odor, it was just the smell of fabric.
