Chapter 17: Good Friends

Zhou Hao had just returned home, and he came to see his friends with the gift he brought to Cheng Wei.

Then he was dragged to Su He's house by Cheng Weixian and introduced to her.

Although she didn't have much impression of the name "Zhou Hao", when she saw Zhou Hao herself, Su He was already more sure that this was also her old junior high school classmate.

In terms of appearance, Cheng Wei and Zhou Hao, two good friends, belong to diametrically opposed models.

Cheng Wei and Su He are the same type, and they both belong to the very calm ones.

Zhou Hao was too anxious.

said that Zhou Hao was in a hurry, which was mainly reflected in two aspects.

One is height.

He is the same age as Cheng Wei and is a serious primary school graduate, but his height is close to 1.8 meters.

And according to Cheng Wei, when Zhou Hao was in the fourth grade of primary school, he was already taller than their homeroom teacher, a middle-aged uncle of 1.73 meters.

Zhou Hao's height and growth speed once scared his mother into thinking that he was suffering from a disease such as gigantism, and specially took him to several hospitals for examination, but fortunately, the results turned out to be a false alarm so far.

The reason why Su He's colander memory was very sure of the relationship between the two as soon as he saw Zhou Hao was because of his height.

She remembered that there was a boy in the class who was the tallest in the school.

The second is looks.

In terms of appearance alone, Zhou Hao actually looks good, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, very upright, and with his family background, made by a standard police family, absolutely genuine, there is no need to play anti-counterfeiting marks.

It's a pity that this classmate's appearance and height, combined with his pure and quiet temperament, look quite inconsistent with his actual age, obviously thirteen years old, at first glance he can even run to twenty-three.

Zhou Hao alone, the problem is not serious, but there is still a thirteen-year-old man standing next to him, but he has a doll and children's face, looking like eight or nine-year-old Cheng Wei, this contrast is too stark.

As a result, those who are anxious seem to be more anxious, and those who are calm are more and more stable.

But these two are really good.

I have to say that the impact of this picture is a bit strong.

Su He can't just talk about Cheng Wei, she herself is the same. Standing next to Zhou Hao, she can clearly feel the sense of oppression from her height, and when she says hello, she needs to look up, and Zhou Hao has to bow her head, which is a little awkward.

Su He introduced herself very realistically and said that she was Cheng Wei's friend of wine and meat - there is meat at every meal, and there is some wine together if you have nothing to do, what is it if you are not a friend of wine and meat?

was glanced at by Cheng Wei.

It made Zhou Hao laugh.

Zhou Hao is quite big, his face is a little old-fashioned, and even his voice is lower than his peers, but this simple smile immediately shows that this is a young man with a shy personality.

After the display, Cheng Wei was eager to talk to his friend who he hadn't seen for a long time, relieved the pain of lovesickness, and told Su He that he didn't need to prepare his share for dinner, and then ran away with Zhou Hao like a gust of wind without looking back.

Zhou Hao only had time to smile politely at Su He, and he didn't have time to say goodbye.

The abandoned Su He shook his head and sighed, tsk, sure enough, the clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old.

Since the rice partner eloped with his good friend, Su He decided to share dinner with the wild cats in the courtyard tonight - eating fish.

There was no ready-made fish at home, so if you wanted to eat fish, you had to buy it now, so Su He rode straight to the vegetable market.

Evening is the busiest time of the vegetable market, not only office workers will generally stop by to buy dinner ingredients at this time, but also because it is almost time to close the market, stall owners want to seize the last time to dispose of the remaining goods, and do their best to attract the attention of customers.

"Beat the cake, make the authentic Korean cake, buy more cheap North Korean cake-"

"The last scale of cheap live shrimp, all of them are alive, all of them are angry, they are too fierce to fly, and they are angry with Sun Wukong-"

"Sticky bud rice, sticky bud rice, newly broken sticky bud rice, two dollars and a lot of sticky bud rice-"

......

When Su He entered the market, his goal was very clear, and he was confused by the shouts of various promotions as soon as he entered the market.

When it was time to leave, I not only bought fish, but also discounted chicken wings, various vegetables and fruits, and three pots of flowers and plants.

Su He originally went to the little cabbage that the stall owner had reduced the price.

When the stall owner saw that Su He was greedy, he said, if you wrap up all this little cabbage, you will be cheaper.

It's a bit round, but the price is really cheap and the dishes are really good.

This is the best way to buy groceries when the market is about to end, and you can often buy some bargains at surprisingly low prices but not bad quality.

Su He only hesitated for a second, and then bowed down to the stall owner's price reduction offensive.

The stall owner gave the cabbage to Su and put it into a big convenience bag. Seeing that she bought a lot of things, he gave her a larger convenience bag, which allowed her to combine the left and right bags into a large bag and hold it conveniently.

A large handy bag is not worth much, but the stall owner is obviously quite good at pulling the main road to do business.

Su He ate this set, and happily merged the miscellaneous things he bought with the help of the stall owner.

Su He was just about to leave, and the stall owner asked her again, do you want to buy flowers?

The stall owner didn't ask, Su He didn't even see that her stall was also selling flowers, and her attention was firmly attracted by the discounted cabbage.

Selling flowers in the vegetable market sounds like a lot of nonsense, but it's actually not uncommon, and it makes sense when you think about it.

Frequent visitors to the vegetable market are generally elderly people, and many retired aunts and uncles at home like to fiddle with flowers and plants when they have nothing to do.

Therefore, there are a few stall owners who are active in their brains, or they specialize in purchasing, or put some common flowers and plants on their own cuttings like rabbits on the stalls. The price is much cheaper than what is sold in the flower market, and some old men and old ladies who buy vegetables will buy two pots if they want to be cheap.

Su He had previously recognized the common wild plants in the backyard according to the illustrations in the book, and she was now particularly interested in the function and use of wild plants in her life, in other words, she was particularly interested in those wild plants that could be eaten.

After returning the popular science books on wild plants, referring to the annotations of the book, I borrowed a copy of "Materia Medica", in which each plant in the book is marked in detail with the cooking method, and you can often see sentences like "oil and salt are very beautiful".

is also because of the wild plants in the backyard, which leads to Su He now has a little interest in flowers and plants.

Hearing the stall owner's words, she looked at the three pots of flowers.

Three potted flowers, she knows two: spider plant and jasmine.

These two kinds of flowers are so common that even people like her, who have little common knowledge about flowers and plants, know them.

There was a plant with dark green leaves and purple-red leaves, and small pink and white flowers, Su He felt a little familiar, but he didn't know what its name was.

The stall owner told Su He that this flower is called glass cui, and it blooms all year round!

Maybe it was because Su He seemed to be a little interested, and the stall owner threw out more discounts, and she only had these three pots of flowers left in her hand, and they were given to her cheaply, five pieces of money, and they were all taken away!

The three pots are not large, but adults are palm-high, and they are planted in ordinary brick-red small clay pots. But both the plants themselves and the pots are well cared for. The jasmine was still playing two or three small white buds, and the pot of pink flowers called glass emerald bloomed even more. The spider plant does not bloom, and the tender green leaf edge is inlaid with white lace, and although the variety is common, it is also elegant and lovely when you look closely.

Su He was a little moved.

After the balcony of her bedroom was sealed, a set of tables and chairs were set up to enter. Su Heting likes to sit there and blow the wind, read a book, drink tea and the like, and often pick some wild flowers from the backyard to decorate, but it still looks bare and a little monotonous. If you put up a flower stand and raise a few pots of flowers, with a little color and life, it will probably look much better.

It's just that she has never raised plants before, and she is afraid that she will not be able to raise them. After all, potted flowers are not like those natural wild plants in the backyard, and they are much more squeamish.

Regarding this, the stall owner gave her a guarantee, these three flowers are particularly easy to feed varieties, just water a little if you have nothing to do, don't worry about it at all!

Seeing that although Su He was moved, the hesitation was still very large, and the stall owner worked hard to pack and deal with these three pots of flowers, and increased the size again, she was not ready to sell flowers in the future, she couldn't sell them!

As he spoke, he took out the flower pot, which was also an ordinary flower pot, about the same size as the three pots, and it was still second-hand, but it was very clean.

The flowers look very good, the price is very cheap, and there are gifts, just like picking them up for nothing.

Bought!

Seeing that Su He bought a lot of things, the stall owner also intimately helped her arrange the loading, and asked the stall next door for a small cardboard box that was a little broken, put three pots of small flowers and an empty flower pot into the carton, and stuffed the gap in the middle with waste newspapers, and put it into the big basket properly.

Some of the crushed fruit was put into the side basket at the back, and the rest of the vegetables, fish, and meat were hung on the two handlebars in a balanced manner.

It can be described as a full load.

Having said that, although everything Su He bought was not expensive, most of them were processing prices, but the sum of this and that bit also cost a lot.

I only wanted to buy one fish, but I ended up buying so many more things, and some of the dishes were still at home, so it was completely repeat shopping.

As soon as things are cheap, the amount of shopping is a bit uncontrollable.

In the past, there was an old saying that "greed eats the poor", and it was Su He like this.

When he got home, as soon as he settled the account, Su He immediately lowered his head and deeply reviewed it for ten seconds...... If only Cheng Wei were here, you can bargain!

If there is only one Su and one, it is naturally what the boss says, of course it is good to be cheap, if people bite and refuse to reduce the price, she has no tricks, at most she will buy another one.

But since he found out that there was a bargaining master around him, Su He felt that he couldn't bury the talent by saying anything, otherwise it would be too violent and would be struck by lightning.

Cheng Wei thought that the price of a few cents was too cheap, and he refused to sell, thinking that the price was almost enough, and it was not easy for people to sell vegetables. It's not shameful enough to cut to death like this.
