Chapter 6
night market
After leaving the computer city, I turned around and headed to the night market to stroll around and buy some food and daily necessities.
At this time, the night market is very crowded, with people bustling about and noisy.
The aroma of food wafts everywhere.
Full of life.
Fang Xin rushed in headfirst.
Stinky tofu, grilled gluten, grilled cold noodles, grilled oysters, grilled sausage, fried chicken nuggets, meat buns, spicy hot pot, hot and sour noodles, pan-fried buns, duck eggs, grilled corn, and grilled potatoes, 50 servings of each.
After finishing, she happily loaded it into the car again and again.
These are delicacies that you will never be able to eat in the future, buy, buy, buy.
As I was walking, I was attracted by a stall, which was selling lemon chicken feet. An old lady was shouting loudly to the crowd.
Fang Xin walked over and asked: "How are you selling it?"
When the old lady saw Fang Xin, she immediately greeted her enthusiastically, "31 yuan per pound, it's very delicious, little girl, why don't you try it? It's okay if you don't buy it if it doesn't taste good." As she spoke, she picked up a chicken claw and put it on a small plate, and handed it to Fang Xin enthusiastically.
It looked really good, and Fang Xin really wanted to buy it. If it tasted average, he would buy less, but if it tasted good, he would buy more.
The main reason was that the old lady was so enthusiastic that she couldn't bear to refuse.
Fang Xin took it and took a sip.
The sour and spicy taste bursts in the mouth all of a sudden, very satisfying.
Fang Xin nodded as he ate: "Yeah, not bad."
"I made all this myself. It's clean. Would you like some?" After saying that, the old lady wiped the sweat off her face with the towel around her neck.
Fang Xin nodded: "I want them all, can you give me a discount?"
“Both”
The old lady was a little bit unbelievable. Usually the price is one or two kilograms, but there are also people who want three or five kilograms. Did she hear it wrong?
"Well, I'll take them all, how much do you have left?"
"There are about 40 more pounds left. Girl, are you sure you want them all?"
Fang Xin nodded: "Yes, sure."
Grandma Zhou was very happy, and the wrinkles on her face became deeper when she smiled.
"I'll give you a discount of two yuan per pound."
"Okay, thanks grandma."
It weighed 43 kilograms, and the old lady rounded off the price, so it cost 1,240 yuan.
She squeezed out of the crowd carrying two large bags of chicken feet, got into the car, and waved her big hands to put all the things into the space.
I took out a bottle of ice water from the space, drank most of it in gulps, took out a towel and poured some ice water on it, then applied the cool wet towel to my face, and the burning sensation in my body was relieved.
It's already the end of August, and it's still so hot! There's not a bit of coolness in the evening, it's so hot and humid, and even if there's wind it's sticky, which is very abnormal.
If you think about it carefully, this might be a warning before doomsday, alerting people to the abnormal weather, but no one cares.
She rested for a short while and then rushed into the night market again.
I ordered 30 skewers of barbecue from five restaurants.
Lamb, beef, chicken wings, bacon rolls, enoki mushrooms, tendons, prawns, meat on the bone, pork cartilage, tendons, kidneys, leeks, eggplant, potato chips, and dried tofu rolls.
If you buy a lot, the boss will give you a discount.
Finally all the barbecues were moved into the car.
When she arrived near the community, she saw that all the restaurants were still open, so she collected some ready-made dishes.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms, chopped pepper fish head, braised pork ribs, pork ribs rice cake, shredded potatoes, three fresh vegetables, black pepper chicken legs, honey chicken wings, fish-flavored shredded pork, beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and potatoes, braised chicken with chestnuts, halal sea bass, 10 servings of each type from each store, and there are three stores in total.
There was also milk tea, so I went to two more milk tea shops.
Bubble milk tea, taro milk tea, red bean milk tea, ice cream, sundae, 50 servings of each type per store,
After putting all the finished products into the space, it was already past 11 o'clock when I returned to the dormitory.
But I couldn't sleep yet, so I slipped into the space and started working hard on the farm, planting some corn.
Corn is a coarse grain that can be eaten in many ways and has high nutritional value.
Pick up the hoe, dig holes, add water, and plant seeds.
The crops are almost planted and it’s getting late, so I need to go to bed quickly.
The next day.
She immediately went to a headhunting company to recruit a professional who knew architecture.
She wanted to build a sturdier house that could withstand natural disasters and resist the covetousness of others.
Among the necessities of life, housing is of course one of the most important supplies.
No matter where you go, you don't have to worry about having no place to live.
When you want to leave, you can just throw the house into the space and it is convenient to carry with you.
Building a safe house is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and she cannot do it alone, so she needs someone to help her.
Through navigation, I found a small headhunting company.
Successfully recruited a professional who understands architecture and speaks poor Mandarin.
I used to work under an engineer, that is, as an apprentice.
But it's enough. He doesn't need to do anything, he just needs to supervise.
The quality of materials and the progress of the project.
This person is 29 years old and his name is Li Xiao.
He is a man who is not very tall and a bit thin.
Fang Xin wondered if such a thin man could survive the end of the world.
The two successfully signed the contract with an annual salary of 300,000.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you sign a contract or not, because everyone will be unemployed in a month anyway.
But the necessary procedures still need to be followed, and no one can do anything without signing a contract.
After listening to Fang Xin's request, he felt a little bit unbelievable.
He had built many houses in his life, but he had never seen such a strange employer.
It needs to be cold-proof, high-temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant.
His job is to follow up on the construction and supervision of the house, as well as acceptance. After careful consideration, he realized that this job is much easier than before, and he can earn more money than before.
He took the drawings given to him by Fang Xin.
It is a small mobile villa with a second floor and a loft.
Looking closely, he actually saw a heated kang and a stove.
There is also heating and a boiler.
Whose mobile home is like this?
This train of thought is really weird.
"Leaving soon"
"Where are you going?" Li Xiao, who was in a trance, came back to his senses and looked at this young girl with strange thoughts in surprise.
"Ugly country."
"Oh, sure."
"That boss, is he going to stay in the Ugly Country forever?"
"No, I'll be back when the house is built."
"Okay, I'll follow the boss' instructions."
So Fang Xin booked a flight to the Ugly Country.
Li Xiao was very satisfied with the job, although his employer was a little stupid, with money to burn and nothing to do.
But with this stable job, plus previous savings, I can pay a down payment on a second-hand house in the suburbs and prepare to get married.
But I didn't know that this job would end after just one month.
Of course, there is an important mission when going to the Ugly Country, which is to buy some self-defense weapons, both hot weapons and cold weapons.
If you want to ensure your own safety, thermal weapons are essential.
As the saying goes, others store grain and I store wood in a warehouse, others are my granary.
These things are legal in the Ugly Country, no need to find a way.
Because their biggest tax revenue comes from wooden warehouses and machinery.
Fang Xin followed Li Xiao back to get his passport.
After parking the car downstairs of Li Xiao's house, the two of them took a taxi directly to the airport.
