Chapter 59
Just by hearing the words "beautiful sister", the bakery clerk's memory instantly became clear.
"Oh!" the salesgirl said, "It's you!"
Then the female clerk looked Jiang Yunu up and down again carefully.
The other party said with relief: "You have grown taller!"
Jiang Yunu said, "Really? When I entered the store just now, I compared myself to the counter and I felt that I had grown taller."
There are three small tables against the wall of the bakery, and the store also sells drinks. The small tables are convenient for customers to dine in occasionally when they order cakes and drinks.
Because Jiang Yunu was a special "repeat customer", the female clerk paid for her a cup of hot lemon tea out of her own pocket.
Jiang Yunu couldn't refuse, so he modified his shopping plan and added a bag of biscuits and three egg tarts to the original "buy two loaves of bread".
The waitress wrote down Jiang Yunu's order and paused as she was about to tap the confirmation button. She asked, "Isn't this a bit too much for one person? Can you finish it?"
She asked carefully and tactfully.
Obviously, the other party had completely remembered the appearance of the white-haired girl who ran into the store that night, and it was natural for him to remember how ill-fitting the clothes Jiang Yunu wore that night were.
The little girl's family background must not be very good.
Jiang Yunu knew that the female clerk was afraid that she would order too much and waste money.
"It doesn't matter," she said. "I live with my aunt and cousin now, so I can easily get rid of all these."
When the female clerk heard that Jiang Yunu now had a family, and saw that the girl's clothes did fit her better, she felt relieved and continued to take orders.
Jiang Yunu received the first batch of fresh bread baked today.
Freshly baked bread has a rich and pleasant aroma of flour and butter, the surface is golden and slightly burnt, and the bread is fluffy and soft.
—and surprisingly large.
"..." Jiang Yunu looked left and right at the bread he received, worried that the bakery clerk was doing charity again. "Sister, are your breads always this big?"
The female clerk said confidently, "Yes, it has always been this size. This is our standard size!"
Jiang Yunu took two loaves of bread that were bigger than her face, and suddenly understood why she was able to eat her fill just by eating other people's sample products on the night she first arrived in Chat City.
The size of the sample surprised me when I first tasted it. I didn’t expect a whole loaf of bread to be this big!
Jiang Yunu also got the biscuits and egg tarts she bought, and almost couldn't hold them with both hands.
Because the egg tarts were also large, probably twice as big as the ordinary egg tarts she had in mind.
The bag was full of biscuits, and they felt heavy on my fingers when I held them in my hands.
"I've decided to be your shop's folk ambassador from today on." Jiang Yunu solemnly announced to the female clerk before leaving the bakery with his hands full of things, "I'm going to tell everyone that yours is the most economical and delicious bakery in Chateau."
The female clerk smiled happily and personally escorted Jiang Yunu out the door.
Jiang Yunu was walking along the street outside the bakery with her hands full of things. When she passed by several public advertising screens, she was attracted by the movement on the screens. She slowed down and looked up at them a few times.
Suddenly, the memory of the first night he came to Chater resurfaced in his mind, and Jiang Yunu remembered that he was also watching advertisements on this street at that time.
She finally understood why she had accidentally come across the combat video of Shen Yijing from Duma College two weeks ago and why she felt that the name of the other school sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
It turned out that she had indeed heard it.
On the same day she first came into contact with the human society of this world.
Jiang Yunu paused before a public advertising screen. It was clearly just a fleeting moment from her first day in Chat City. Now that she was standing under the screen again, she miraculously recalled the advertisement she had seen there.
Duma College's 100th... 100th class, what was it? Anyway, it was their graduation ceremony promotion.
She happened to hear the promotion, watched two minutes of the promotional report, and because she was in a hurry to check out the free tasting billboard put up by the bakery, she still called them "Cow and Horse College" in her mind.
Jiang Yunu: "..."
Thinking about her lack of respect at the beginning, Jiang Yunu thought about how carefully she had studied the students' tactics and playing methods, and she felt a little sorry for Duma Academy.
Soon, Jiang Yunu ended this one-sided recollection and reflection. She took the things she bought from the bakery and ran to another block.
She went to find the grocery store that had given her pastries and dried fruits.
After doing some "repaying gratitude" shopping at the grocery store, Jiang Yunu just bought some more things for himself to take back to Eng today.
Then she finally set out on the road back to the dilapidated streets.
Even though Jiang Yunu ran to several places and did several things in the morning, because she got up early and moved quickly, it was not even nine o'clock in the morning when she finished all her work.
She reached the corner of the dilapidated street when Joyson called her via video.
"Are you not at home?" Joyson asked in the video, and then yawned carefreely the next second.
It's obvious at first glance that they are so familiar with each other that they no longer care about their image.
Jiang Yunu simply pulled the video window to the side, allowing Joeyson to look at the street view next to him.
"I'm at the corner," she said. "I went out to buy some things."
"Why didn't you call me when you were buying things?" Joyson was still sleepy and looked like he could fall to the ground and continue sleeping at any time.
At the same time, the other party pulled the screen to the side, allowing Jiang Yunu to see that Qiao Yisen was standing in front of the gate of Building 80.
"Mom kicked me out to call you for breakfast," Joyce said sleepily. "I've been knocking on the door for a long time, but no one answered."
The door of Jiang Yunu's small garbage house still didn't have a proper lock, but she assembled a small gadget that could replace the door lock, which could just lock the door when no one was at home.
If Joyson had been stronger and had knocked on the door with more force, he might have been able to notice something.
Jiang Yunu suspected that the other party was not only kicked out of the house by Aunt Daisy and sent to call her for dinner, she also suspected that the other party might have just been kicked out of the bed not long ago.
"I asked you to go with me because I was afraid that if I took you out upright, I would have to carry you back horizontally when I came back." Jiang Yunu replied and walked briskly into the narrow street of the dilapidated street.
"I'm not going to sleep on the street," Joyson grumbled in protest, but the protest was followed by a yawn.
The red-haired boy's head was still pointing towards the screen, and his open mouth almost covered half of the screen.
Jiang Yunu looked at this unbearable scene calmly and only advised Qiao Yisen to go back to the house immediately. Before she arrived at the door of Building 78, he might be able to sleep on the dining table for five or six minutes.
Jiang Yunu returned to the Qiao family with her morning's harvest.
Qiao Daisi knew what Jiang Yunu bought before Joeysen.
"...What a big loaf of bread!" Qiao Daisi couldn't help but exclaim at the bread that Jiang Yunu brought back.
"Really?" Jiang Yunu, as if to take credit, immediately put a large loaf of bread in front of Aunt Daisy's face, "Aunt Daisy, smell it, is it still fragrant?"
Qiao Daisi often cooks in the kitchen and has a high ability to distinguish the quality of ingredients. She can tell by looking and smelling that this bread is made with solid ingredients and the style looks simple, but it is made very well.
"It's very good." Jodaisi nodded first, then changed the subject, "--But, after buying such a big, fragrant loaf of bread, Auntie's breakfast finally didn't satisfy you. Do you want to change the taste today?"
Jiang Yunu: "How could that be?!"
Of course, you can't miss Aunt Daisy's meal.
No matter how delicious the bread is, it does not conflict with eating the breakfast made by Qiao Daisi. In Jiang Yunu's mind, the two are not interchangeable.
Qiao Daisi didn't ask Jiang Yunuo why he suddenly wanted to go buy bread and some groceries. When Jiang Yunuo showed autonomy beyond his peers, she always fully respected this autonomy and never asked too many questions or interfered.
As for Joyson, when Jiang Yunu finished breakfast and they squeezed into the kitchen to clean up, the red-haired boy revealed a precocious worry and nudged Jiang Yunu with his elbow: "Spend the star coins that the school gave you as a subsidy slowly."
Joyson was very worried about Jiang Yunu's financial situation, fearing that he would spend the rare savings in his account recklessly.
Jiang Yunu nodded in agreement, promising that she would pay attention.
After a while, amid the sound of rushing water, Jiang Yunu heard Joeysen mumbling again.
The red-haired boy was still worried and muttered to himself, "Forget it. How about I save more money from now on and build us a 'monthly self-help fund'..."
Jiang Yunu: “…” That’s not necessary!
Moreover, apart from spending a little extra at the bakery and grocery store today, the overall amount spent was not large, and Jiang Yunu's expenses were still within a controllable range.
Engel's subsidies to poor students are paid on a monthly basis. There is a fixed meal allowance every month, and every quarter there is a star coin subsidy directly deposited into the account, which makes it convenient for poor students to buy some things for themselves on a quarterly basis.
In order to prevent Joyson from continuing to worry about the expenses of star coins, Jiang Yunu quickly changed the subject and told him about what Zhou Jinxue had said last night about the restructuring of the Engel school team and the intramural competition.
Qiao Yisen already knew that Jiang Yunu had such a competition, but he didn't know that the school competition was linked to the school team quota.
Aunt Daisy knew neither.
"That means you won't be able to go home for the next month?" Qiao Daisi immediately started flipping through the electronic calendar to check which month it was.
Jiang Yunu always felt that it was too early for Aunt Daisy to say this.
"Yes, I might not be able to go home for a month." She corrected her wording.
Jodie looked as if she felt it was a sure thing that she would go out.
All I can say is that Joyson and Aunt Daisy are worthy of being mother and son. They both have a magical confidence in Jiang Yunu that comes from nowhere.
After returning to school on Sunday afternoon, Jiang Yunu continued to revise the project article assigned to her by Lei Daniel in her dormitory. Then, around seven o'clock in the evening, she sent the additional homework to Teacher Lei's personal terminal.
Teacher Lei replied to her at 9:30 in the evening, informing Jiang Yunu to go to the other party's office during lunch break tomorrow.
