"Ouch, my waist!" Early in the morning, Fang Mian was kicked off the stool by Zhao Tingting.
"No, I gave you face, right? Who allowed you to sleep in my room?" Zhao Tingting asked with her hands on her hips.
She got up in the morning and was about to wash up when she suddenly saw a big man and was frightened.
"Aren't I just worried about your safety? Besides, I didn't go to bed, I just slept on the stool." Fang Mian said, rubbing his waist.
The stool was too hard and it was really uncomfortable to sleep on it all night.
"If you're worried about me, why don't you just live next door to me? Are you a pervert? Don't you know the difference between men and women when you live in my room?" Zhao Tingting scolded.
"No." Fang Mian moved a little closer to Zhao Tingting and said in a low voice.
"I heard that bandits are rampant here recently and it's very chaotic. I'm not afraid that you can't defeat them with real swords and guns, but I'm afraid they will use some shady tricks at night that are hard to defend against.
In their eyes, we are both from other places, so we can look after each other.”
Zhao Tingting looked at Fang Mian suspiciously: "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? We've known each other for so many years, don't you trust my character?
And look how gentlemanly I am. I didn't even sleep next to your bed. I moved a stool to sleep on my own.
Do the same for the next few days and make sure you're a qualified defender." Fang Mian saluted.
"Then you sleep in the corner. Why are you lying in the middle of the road and scaring people? Move away. You're blocking my way." Zhao Tingting pushed Fang Mian away and went out to wash up.
The housing issue was settled.
Although the security issue was not as serious as Fang Mian said, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was chaos everywhere, and he was really worried about Zhao Tingting living alone.
If something unexpected happens, you will regret it for the rest of your life. It is better to spend a few days to keep an eye on the person.
The two of them cleaned up and went out.
Although Zhao Tingting was asked to come out for purchasing, she didn't know anything and was just going through the motions to familiarize herself with the process.
Let her know that purchasing is not an easy job, so that she won’t make trouble at home every day.
"Go check the goods in the morning. After all, it's you who purchased them, so you have to ensure their quality," said Fang Mian.
"Let's go and check out the goods. Where is the warehouse? They spoke too fast just now and I didn't hear clearly." Zhao Tingting asked.
"If you don't hear clearly next time, you can ask a few more times." Fang Mian said.
"The Mandarin they speak is so gibberish that I can't understand it. Don't we have you here? It's enough if you can understand it. Just lead the way." Zhao Tingting waved her hand and walked in front to lead the way.
"Wrong, it's this side." Fang Mian said.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Zhao Tingting rolled her eyes at him and changed direction.
"Remember to check the order when inspecting the goods and see if the quantity is correct," said Fang Mian.
"I know, I know. Do I need you to teach me how to do things?" Zhao Tingting said impatiently.
I didn’t sleep well yesterday, so I felt tired all day. There was also a nagging voice in my ears, which was so annoying.
Zhao Tingting carefully checked the list one by one, and handed it to Fang Mian after confirming that it was correct.
"What to do next?" Zhao Tingting asked in a low voice.
"Did you receive any training before coming here?" Fang Mian asked.
"I did it. I didn't sleep well and my mind is a mess." Zhao Tingting said.
"Pack and ship." Fang Mian reminded.
Zhao Tingting nodded and remembered it.
Once the goods are shipped, the order is completed.
"What's next..." Fang Mian said.
"Okay, okay, I get it? I'll spend the rest of the afternoon working on it. I'm so sleepy.
Let me go back and catch up on some sleep so I can work in the afternoon," said Zhao Tingting.
"Okay, let's go back." Fang Mian handed the list to the manager and told her that they would come back tomorrow to check the goods.
Zhao Tingting returned to her room and fell asleep without even bothering to eat lunch.
The feeling of not getting enough sleep is so uncomfortable, and I feel dizzy and groggy all over.
I took a good nap and didn't get up until it was getting dark.
Sitting up suddenly, Zhao Tingting knew what was happening to her.
"Why are you in my room?" Zhao Tingting asked.
"I've always been here!" Fang Mian replied.
"Oh, it's always here." Zhao Tingting said. No, it's always here?
Zhao Tingting suddenly woke up, looked around, and remembered that she was no longer in her own boudoir.
Sighing, "What time is it? Shouldn't I get to work?"
Alas, the sadness of working people, they start working as soon as they open their eyes.
"No need, get up and I'll take you to eat something delicious, then go shopping, and then you can go to sleep again." Fang Mian said.
After all, it was evening and there was nothing left to work on.
"Okay!" Speaking of shopping, Zhao Tingting was no longer sleepy.
"But this place is so shabby, what's there to see?"
"It's okay. There are quite a lot of special foods here." Fang Mian said.
This is a city that is said to be edible for all species except humans.
"There is a very lively night market here. It's quite bustling inside. I'll take you to have a look." Fang Mian said.
"How do you know?" Zhao Tingting asked. This is the first time for both of them, right?
"I just asked the waiter." Fang Mian said.
"oh!"
The night market was indeed very lively, with all kinds of things displayed in each stall.
"What is this, tortoise jelly?" asked Zhao Tingting.
"This is it!" Fang Mian glanced at the sign and said, "Straw board."
"What is a straw board?" asked Zhao Tingting.
"This is the straw board." Fang Mian pointed at the black board in front of him.
"Try one bowl." Zhao Tingting said to the boss.
"Okay! A bowl of straw board." The boss filled a bowl of straw board, sprinkled sugar on it and handed it to Zhao Tingting.
Zhao Tingting looked at the black stuff and took a sip carefully.
The taste seems okay, similar to tortoise jelly, but also a little different, I can't put my finger on it.
Zhao Tingting didn’t want to eat anymore after eating half of it. She wanted to save space for something else.
Fang Mian ate the remaining half without any disgust.
"Didn't I tell you? Don't eat my leftovers. Isn't that disgusting?" Zhao Tingting frowned at Fang Mian.
“Here, if you waste food, you won’t be able to buy anything later.
"Don't you notice that if you don't finish eating, the way they look at you becomes strange?" Fang Mian whispered in Zhao Tingting's ear.
Zhao Tingting looked around and found that there seemed to be something wrong with the way others looked at her.
She hid behind Fang Mian and the two continued shopping.
Fang Mian took Zhao Tingting with satisfaction, enjoying this rare tranquility.
"I want to eat this." Zhao Tingting said, pointing to the things in front of her.
"Boss, give me one." Fang Mian said.
"Okay!" The boss handed a snack to Fang Mian.
"What is this? It smells quite nice." Zhao Tingting said while eating.
She tore off half and handed it to Fang Mian.
"It says on it, oyster omelet!" Fang Mian said.
"When we get back, I'll buy a few and bring them to Uncle Fang and the others to try," said Zhao Tingting.
