Chapter 11: The Son Grows Up
The next day, Lu Chen still "dropped by" to pick up Shen Xuening, and with the experience of the first day, Shen Xuening behaved more naturally today.
After sending Shen Xuening, Lu Chen went to find Da Xiong.
Helplessly, this kid is the king of dragging, and he won't appear if he doesn't press the points.
Looking at the empty desk, Lu Chen fell asleep helplessly, and every day in order to wait for Shen Xue Ning to get up half an hour earlier than usual, he would have been sleepy for a long time.
In a daze, a thick smell of pork and leeks came, Lu Chen's eyes widened, and the big bear was eating buns with soy milk unscrupulously at this time.
"Big bear, shit, you can't eat it again, a gust of smell..."
Lu Chen pinched his nose with a look of disgust.
"Hehe, it's not too late, if you don't know the doorman uncle, you probably won't be able to get in. ”
Big Bear smiled cheekily, his mouth bulging, not the slightest embarrassment.
"That's it, it smells too bad, Lu Chen, you treat him well. ”
Tan Yingzhu at the front table also covered her mouth and joined the spit army with Zhou Xiaona at the same table.
"Tan Yingzhu, are you looking for a fight? Why are you everywhere?"
The big bear raised his fist towards Tan Yingzhu and threatened.
"Big bear, this is wrong with you, men must be graceful, how can you treat girls like this. ”
Lu Chen stopped the big bear.
"That's it, look at how personable Lu Chen is. ”
Zhou Xiaona agreed.
Lu Chen: "You should invite them to eat together, so they won't be able to smell it, stupid ......"
Everyone was suddenly stunned, and then the big bear laughed.
Zhou Xiaona and Tan Yingzhu snorted and turned to ignore them.
At the end of the farce, Lu Chen pushed the big bear: "How is it?
Big Bear pointed to the bulging bag in his mouth, swallowed it hard, took another sip of soy milk, and burped.
Then he took out his schoolbag, patted it and said slowly: "It's all here, I finally coaxed my mother to open a private warehouse, and I gave you all my wealth, and you will be responsible for the slave family in the future." ”
"Roll ......"
Looking at the other party's appearance, Lu Chen kicked him.
However, Da Xiong is very powerful, and he borrowed 20,000 yuan from Lu Chen.
In 2003, this was a huge amount of money, especially for high school students.
With the sword in hand, I have it in the world.
Lu Chen suddenly had a feeling that he was winning.
After explaining that Da Xiong continued to ask for leave, Lu Chen quickly slipped away again, leaving only Da Xiong who was scolding behind him.
I found Zhang Hu in the Guanbei market, and then called a few of Zhang Hu's friends, according to the route of the previous day, Lu Chen divided the team into four groups, one to two people in each group, divided the money, and started the sweeping mode.
For a time, all the banlan roots and white vinegar in the entire Jiangbei urban area were swept away by a few people.
At this time, the price of Jiangbei's banlan root and white vinegar has not risen, a pack of 24 small bags of banlan root is 6.5 yuan, and white vinegar ranges from one to three pieces, although in the face of such a large purchase volume, the merchants were a little suspicious at first, but when the purchasers claimed that this was needed by a large garment factory in Jiangbei, the merchants did not say anything.
Unfortunately, the storage capacity in the urban area is limited, and less than half of it is spent in total.
Lu Chen took Zhang Hu to the county seat for two more days, and bought more than half of the banlan root and white vinegar.
Looking at the mountains of banlan root and white vinegar, Lu Chen had a feeling of seeing the banknotes, and the next time was to sit and wait for the country to release information, and prices would skyrocket.
On the other hand, Lu Chen explained that Zhang Hu posted a top post on the Jiangbei Star Forum, and the content was probably that there were constantly news that someone was asking to buy Banlangen and white vinegar, and then the other group of people went to reply to the post, such as asking if Banlangen was going to be out of stock?
Time is pressing, Lu Chen needs to create an atmosphere in the shortest possible time, banlan root and white vinegar are miracle medicines, Jiangbei is out of stock, and it is difficult to find anything.
……
Time flies, more than half a month has passed, at this stage, Lu Chen also entered the intense review with the army of exam preparations, every day was boring and fulfilling, and the only fun was to accompany Shen Xuening to review, which could not only accompany but also grow rapidly.
Shen Baobao, who has a simple personality, has almost zero social experience and low emotional intelligence, but his learning ability is explosive.
And often this kind of person is also brainless, once someone completely enters her heart, it will be a lifetime.
Lu Chen would also pick up Shen Xuening every morning, and send her home in the evening.
This habit seems to be slowly accepted by the two and evolved into a tacit understanding, and the relationship between the two is steadily warmed up, and the only thing missing is when to pierce that layer of window paper.
And Shen Xuening still goes to the vegetable market every three or five days to buy leftovers to be processed, but she unexpectedly found that the shopkeepers' attitude towards her is getting better and better, and there are more and more dishes, even sometimes fresher than the dishes in the hot sale, and the meat is also a lot cheaper, fresh and sufficient.
Of course, this is Lu Chen's secret masterpiece, but the simple Shen Baobao will not study it in depth, and will only nod his head stupidly in thanks.
That day, as soon as Lu Chen finished the most boring Chinese class, Da Xiong's mobile phone buzzed and vibrate.
Big Bear, who has a superior family background, was also one of the few people in the school who had a mobile phone in 2003, a classic Nokia 3300, priced at more than 3000 yuan, which looks like a game console handle, and it is a little ugly in 2020, but at that time, it was very popular with boys, especially boys who were keen on games.
Lu Chen didn't hear Da Xiong's conversation, only heard him uh-huh-huh a few times before hanging up the phone.
"What's wrong? You look nervous. ”
Lu Chen asked casually.
"It's okay, my dad's phone said that there was a rush to buy Banlangen outside, and my mother also went to join in the fun, but she accidentally twisted her foot, which will be lying in the hospital. ”
The big bear smacked his lips and said helplessly: "These old mothers and old ladies are too, they like to blindly follow the trend, what kind of fun?" ”
The big bear is still chattering there, but Lu Chen's heart has already flown outside, it seems that the hype is working, and the country has not officially released Banlangen as a preventive party, and the tuyere has come.
"Hey, Lao Lu, why are you stunned?"
Da Xiong pushed hard Lu Chen, who was deep in thought: "You kid don't want to join in the fun, right? That thing is useless......
"What is the price of banyan root and white vinegar now?"
Lu Chen didn't pay attention to him, but directly cared about the price.
"How do I know this, I know that my mother was injured, and in the end the things have not been bought, you say that you are not wronged. ”
Big Bear looked helpless.
"Haha, Big Bear, help me think of a way to ask for leave, buddy is going out. ”
Lu Chen quickly packed up the books and stuffed the schoolbag into the table hole: "Tell your mother not to worry, your family's white vinegar and banlan root, buddy have all covered." ”
After saying that, he didn't pay attention to the big bear's reaction and slipped away directly.
"This guy must be crazy, it's embarrassing for a big man to grab things from a group of aunts. ”
The bear broke a bite in disgust, and then buried himself in the game.
