In the bookstore, everything is made there. There are only noodles. There are no beef noodles or hot and sour noodles. We have to buy some and keep them on hand for convenience when we need to eat.
Take out what they ordered. "Okay, let's go tomorrow night. We can get our passports the day after tomorrow, and then we can buy the plane tickets. Huahua, wouldn't it be too conspicuous if we bought a private jet?"
She thought private jets were great, even though they were expensive and she might not have enough money, but she figured one job would be enough.
"You really do come up with things on a whim. It's not just eye-catching, it's too conspicuous. Besides, I can't fly, and you won't come back anyway. Let's buy a cruise ship. If you buy a private jet, you'll also have to buy a helipad, which is so expensive."
Moreover, even if you buy one, you won't use it often. Although cruise ships aren't used much either, it's better than a private jet.
An Shuyi thought for a moment, "Okay, let's buy a cruise ship then, but do you know how to drive one? I don't."
They haven't learned how to drive at all.
"I don't know how either, but it's easier to learn than flying a plane. At least it feels safer. Otherwise, if something happens while flying, it'll be too late to even take off." Her life is so precious; it can't be wasted.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's buy a cruise ship. Once we have it, I'll ask my second brother to help us get a driver's license so we can go out to sea and travel all over the country."
Aside from occasionally traveling abroad, she and Huahua have never been to many places in their own country.
Xia Hua nodded, "Sure, we have plenty of time anyway, we can look around. Let's eat quickly, then we'll go buy groceries." The two people next to them, listening to their conversation, hadn't eaten yet.
"eat."
After finishing their meal, Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo went to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and brought them back after washing them, since some of the bowls would be kept to hold food later.
After getting ready, I drove off to buy things. I went straight to the biggest supermarket, grabbed a shopping cart, and started buying groceries. I bought all sorts of things that interested me, including hot pot ingredients. In the end, I filled two large carts with groceries.
This was the first time Xiao Yubai and his companion had been to a supermarket. They were surprised by how many things there were, and that they could take whatever they wanted.
The more I saw, the more shocked I became.
An Shuyi said to Xia Hua next to her, "When we have dinner tonight, turn on the TV and let them watch it and see what it's like. The more they watch, the more they'll understand."
Xia Hua agreed, "Yes, the more you see, the more you understand."
Pushing the cart to pay, it took five bags to pack everything. The rice and hot pot base were already in the warehouse, so there was no need to buy them.
Moreover, the food from the trading system is always tastier. Although the trading system has disappeared now, they bought a lot before, so they're not worried about not having enough to eat.
After putting their things in the car and driving home, the group started getting ready. It was only four in the afternoon, but they would be ready by five, which would be just the right time for dinner.
An Shuyi can't cook, but she has no problem washing vegetables. The other three cut various meats, seafood, vegetables, and wild mushrooms.
A soup was simmering on the stove, made with bones, chicken, Jinhua ham, and dried scallops—that's what makes the soup so delicious.
By the time everything was ready, it was already past five o'clock. The ingredients filled two shelves, and the coffee table was also full. We turned on the TV and started eating.
Xiao Yubai opened the wine jar next to him, filled four cups with wine, and then put the jar down.
Looking at all those wine jars around him, he realized why he hadn't gotten them drunk: there wasn't enough wine. He hadn't seen these two women drink for the past few days and had assumed they weren't drinking.
"Honey, you and Xia Hua used to drink alcohol every time you ate together, why didn't you drink a few days ago?"
He was genuinely puzzled; no wonder there was no alcohol at the restaurant.
An Shuyi put meat into the pot. When he asked her question, she replied, "Because I need to drive. You can't drive after drinking here, or you'll get arrested and locked up for a few days."
"Is it imprisonment?"
"Pretty much, but the place where we're locked up is a bit better. Anyway, don't drink and drive, don't drive after drinking, just remember that. Tomorrow night, after we come back from the night market, I'll take you guys for a race so you can practice."
Cheng Yumo said, "Your car must be very expensive. Don't let us break it. Just buy a cheap one for us to learn to drive."
This car was a gift from Shuyi's brother; it would be really embarrassing if they damaged it.
Xia Hua nodded in agreement, “Yes, we should buy a cheaper, more durable one. Otherwise, we’ll have to buy another car. Even though we can afford it, it’s a hassle to modify. And if the car breaks down, Second Brother will nag us again.”
"Okay, let's buy a cheap one then. It would be best if they could learn to drive in one night. I'll figure out a way to get them both driver's licenses so we won't have to drive anymore." She would be happy to race.
But driving like this, so slowly, is very unpleasant, and both of them have to know how to drive this car.
"Let's go buy it tomorrow afternoon. Cheers!" Xia Hua raised her glass, and the group clinked glasses and downed half of their glasses in one go.
"This wine is really strong, Shushu, how much do you have left?" She only had a few jars in her warehouse.
An Shuyi glanced at the warehouse and said, "Don't worry, there's enough for you to drink for a long time. I've filled more than ten large barrels inside, and there are also wine jars. Don't worry, there's enough to drink."
Knowing she was leaving, on the second night after returning to the village, she called Wenyi out, asked him to give her the workshop keys, and also gave him tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, saying that the wine already had a buyer who would come to pick it up that night.
Although it was a bit far-fetched, Wen Yi didn't ask any more questions and gave her the key. All the wine was stored in the warehouse, enough to last a long time.
"That's enough for you to drink, you guys eat your food."
Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo could drink with them at first, but not anymore. They could only drink half a cup each time. Who could stand that?
The two of them ate their food while watching TV.
"Wife, is there also qinggong (lightness skill) here?" Cheng Yumo asked, looking at the man who could fly on TV.
"No, it's suspended by a machine. The people here don't have qinggong (lightness skill), but some skilled ones can fly over rooftops and walk on walls, though their flying technique is different from yours."
Of course, there may be people who know kung fu, but she just hasn't seen them.
Cheng Yumo nodded and continued eating and watching TV, asking questions whenever she encountered something she didn't understand.
By the time we finished eating, it was already past 10 p.m., and we had been eating for several hours.
An Shuyi stood up. "These are greasy, so don't bother cleaning them. I'll call a cleaning service tomorrow morning. I'm going to bed."
After giving instructions to the two men, Xia Hua went upstairs to take a shower and go to bed, leaving Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo behind. Although they didn't understand what cleaning was, they knew it was similar to being a maid.
“Just wash it with hot water. I’ve done it before, it’s not too difficult,” Xiao Yubai said.
He and Shushu had eaten hot pot outside a few times, and he was the one who cleaned the dishes. They had almost finished eating all the food, so he could just throw it away. Washing the dishes and chopsticks wasn't difficult.
