When they were pushing a cart of small furniture back, Shulan and Jiang Beichuan were holding lunch boxes and drinking white porridge without even a vegetable.
"Shulan, can't you just cook a dish?" Jiang Beichuan complained while drinking porridge.
"How can I cook when there's nothing here?" Shulan also felt that the food had no taste and started complaining.
"How do Yuxian and the others cook?" Jiang Beichuan's somewhat disgusted look hurt Shulan's heart.
I took such good care of him, but he didn't reflect on himself at all and only blamed others.
Shulan was silent. She finished her porridge and went back to the house quietly.
After seeing Shulan leave, Jiang Beichuan drank a bowl of porridge and went back directly. There was still half a pot of porridge in the pot after they cooked it, and no one cared about it.
After Su Nian and the others put away the cabinets, they went their separate ways. Qin Yulin went to the village to find someone to build a stove, while Su Nian and the other three carried baskets on their backs and took the village ox cart to the town to buy daily necessities.
When they arrived in town, the three of them went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative. Su Nian bought work gloves, a straw hat, cold cream, fruit candy, laundry detergent, shampoo, malt sugar, and red shrimp cakes.
Qin Yuxian and Sun Yanyan couldn't stop buying things. In addition to buying a lot of things with Su Nian, they later bought White Rabbit milk candy, snow cream, glutinous rice cakes, popcorn, glutinous rice noodles, peanuts, melon seeds, and Golden Chicken biscuits.
If it wasn't available, Qin Yuxian would even want to buy a can of malted milk!
"Okay! Stop buying! Want to spend all the money and tickets at once? Just buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and take them back!" Seeing this, Su Nian hurriedly stopped them, fearing that they would not be able to spend it all.
Qin Yuxian and Sun Yanyan then braked with a smile.
Sun Yanyan and Qin Yuxian, their family living conditions are pretty good, shouldn't I also relax a little?
"Hey! Why are you looking at me? I haven't spent it all. Although my parents are stingy, my grandpa loves me! He gave me a lot of money to keep around!" Sun Yanyan saw Su Nian looking at her and spoke quickly.
"I haven't spent it all!" Qin Yuxian said quickly, "I'm buying one for my brother! Otherwise, he will snatch all mine!" Qin Yuxian said to Qin Yulin with some disgust, but the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.
"Okay! Let's go!" Su Nian smiled and shook his head, then turned to the daily necessities store.
Su Nian and Sun Yanyan each took out three dollars, and Qin Yuxian paid double, six dollars, for a total of twelve dollars.
Use it to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and condiments for cooking. If you pay more, you will get a refund and if you pay less, you will get a supplement. If you don’t have a ticket, you have to pay. This way, everyone is fair.
In order to avoid having to run back and forth all the time, they try to buy as much as possible.
Cooking oil costs 80 cents per pound, and the three of them can only buy three pounds. They also need oil coupons, which are hard to come by. Many times, they can't even buy oil when they want to.
Soy sauce and vinegar are both 8 cents a pound, so I bought three pounds each. White sugar is 75 cents a pound, so I bought two pounds. Salt is 15 cents a pound, so I need five pounds.
Sichuan peppercorns cost two yuan per pound, and I want half a pound. Star anise cost one yuan and fifty cents per pound, and I want half a pound too. Dried chilies actually cost three yuan per pound, so Su Nian was a little reluctant to buy anything.
Qin Yuxian and Sun Yanyan both said that if they bought a pound of food like radish and cabbage, and fried them without oil, salt, and chili peppers, the taste would be a bit disappointing.
In the end, he ordered a pound of chili peppers. After all, Su Nian also likes spicy food.
After buying things like oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, they spent a total of eight yuan and ninety-six cents, and there were some receipts. Su Nian didn't take the receipts, but directly paid the money to deduct them.
As for tableware, apart from the shared plates and dishes, you should bring your own bowls and chopsticks, so don't buy them together.
Su Nian thought that since she had a lunch box and had no shortage of it in her space, she bought two sets of bowls and chopsticks. In case a bowl broke, she would have a spare one!
The most important thing is the pot, which is expensive and requires an industrial ticket. The three people hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted their teeth and bought two pots, one large and one small.
It cost more than 20 yuan plus two industrial tickets. Four people paid for it, and each person paid 5 or 6 yuan. Now, everyone is discouraged and doesn't want to buy anything anymore.
After buying them, I put them in a backpack and carried them on my back. If the big pot couldn’t fit them, I would carry it in my hands.
The three greedy guys naturally would not miss the opportunity to go to the state-owned restaurant. They each bought a few large meat buns, and then went to the post office to take out Qin Yulin and his sister's bedding and luggage. Then the three of them went to the ox cart at the town entrance.
"You three kids are pretty fast!" Uncle Niu, who was driving the ox cart, squatted beside it and smoked a pipe, with a warm smile on his weathered face.
"We can't keep Uncle Niu waiting for too long!" Su Nian said with a smile.
As he said that, he took out two pieces of malt sugar from his backpack and stuffed them into Uncle Niu's pockets, and also gave him a big meat bun.
"Uncle Niu, take this back and give it to the kids to sweeten their mouths! It's already noon, just eat some buns to fill your stomach!"
"Uncle Niu, here, I have egg cake!"
"I have popcorn! And White Rabbit!"
Seeing Su Nian feeding Uncle Niu candies, Qin Yuxian and Sun Yanyan naturally followed suit. They very naturally took out their own things and stuffed Uncle Niu with a piece of egg cake, two White Rabbit popcorns, and a handful of popcorn.
"Oh my! You girls really don't know how to live! You should spend frugally, because there are still many years to come!"
Uncle Niu was shocked by the enthusiasm of the three girls. He put on a stern face and lectured them, refusing to accept them no matter what.
"Uncle Niu! Take it quickly! The egg cake is going to rot!" Su Nian and the others hid far away and said hurriedly.
"Uncle Niu! You'd better put it away quickly, otherwise, when those aunts and grannies come back, we won't have any to share!" Sun Yanyan also said.
"Yes! We have come all the way here and made you wait for so long. Eat something to fill your stomach!" Qin Yuxian said with a smile.
Uncle Niu couldn't resist Su Nian and the others' enthusiasm and kept saying thank you.
