Chapter 11: Xuanyuan Lianhua (I)
"Norwich", the world's financial center, a place where cultures meet. The city has the most advanced civilization and the most lenient laws.
There is no night in this city. The noise of vehicles and the dazzling lights of the street lights have forgotten the memories of the dark night in the countryside. Raising his head, the moon in the sky is only about half of the fullness, and the dim light echoes the light emitted by the neon on the ground, telling each other about the loneliness of the heavenly palace and the prosperity of the world. It was in the midst of such a beautiful scenery that Xuanyuan Zun walked into a supermarket, which was his main purpose today.
If the Industrial Revolution changed the appearance of cities, today's electronic revolution has changed the construction of urban details. Norwich no longer has a place like a wet market. In its place is an unmanned supermarket. The vegetables in the supermarket are almost all the same, fresh and beautiful, thanks to the genetic engineering of the "Chuangge Group".
Although this is not the first time Xuanyuan Zun has been to the supermarket, it is also one of the few times. Because the prices in the supermarket were much higher than those in the underground market, he wouldn't have wandered around the supermarket if he hadn't been able to get meat from his friends. And this supermarket is an aristocratic supermarket located in the center of the city, Lianhua had eaten the meat bought here once in the same school before, saying that it was delicious, and he had been thinking about it, Xuanyuan Zun came here to take a look.
"Pork ribs cost 68 yuan a catty...... It's twice as expensive as the outside! ”
Xuanyuan Zun was not satisfied with the price. The current currency pressure is not great, and money is still quite valuable. With such a big amount of money, this rib sells for 68 pounds, which is too expensive. Although today's income is okay, today's rent will be squeezed out and added tomorrow.
"If you want to eat, eat it!"
Too lazy to think. Simply, Xuanyuan Zun directly took two catties of pork ribs. It's just that when his black hands reached into the freezer to get the meat, no matter how many times, Xuanyuan Zun couldn't get used to the gazes around him—those eyes with mockery and disgust, or words like "If you don't study hard, you'll be like him". Although not everyone is like this, Xuanyuan Zun is the least fond of this feeling - in essence, he is a person with some arrogance.
"Let's buy big bones and stew them...... Pick some broccoli and pork belly and stir-fry, and there are some kelp from friends at home, so let's have kelp bone broth. Not...... Well, that's right, fruit! Let's buy some fruit, she hasn't eaten fruit in a long time."
Xuanyuan Zun focused his attention on how to distribute the more than 100 yuan well, and what kind of dishes to prepare at night, so he didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, and forgot about the things that had just happened for the time being. In fact, if Xuanyuan Zun's friends in the game saw that he had always been a little paralyzed and cold, he turned out to be a househusband in clothes at this moment, and their stomachs would hurt from laughter.
Today's game income, as well as the illegally obtained income, not only did not have any leftover after buying the ingredients, but instead put the previous savings back into it. But since I've made up my mind to cook a delicious meal for my sister, let's let it go and make it once.
Xuanyuan Zun's home is actually in the city, not far from an elementary school. Xuanyuan Zun was able to live in the city close to the center, and it was impossible for him to rely on his meager and unstable income alone. It's just that his luck is good - a grandmother who has lost her husband and has children overseas all the year round rents out her surplus storage house to Xuanyuan Zun at a fairly low price, as long as Xuanyuan Zun often helps her with housework, weeding, and even sits with her and chats.
"I'm back!"
Xuanyuan Zun shouted in a deep voice to the villa opposite. The old woman in the room raised her cane and waved it at Xuanyuan Zun. When he returned home, the first thing Xuanyuan Zun did was to throw the dishes aside and sit on the small sofa to rest for a while.
"Ahh
Sinking his body completely into the sofa, Xuanyuan Zun skillfully lit a cigarette and threw it into his mouth. He took a deep breath, and after a few seconds, white smoke came out of his nose.
This is a low-priced cigarette, but the feeling of lack of oxygen brought by it makes Xuanyuan Zun like it, because he can relax himself briefly and drag himself out of the difficulties of reality. The dizziness caused by the smoke was slightly reduced, and Xuanyuan Zun opened his eyes and looked at this small house, which was originally just a storage room, but now it was transformed by himself and felt like a home, and he was still quite happy.
