Jingzhi and Qi'er walked out of the restaurant door one after the other and came to the main road. Qi'er suddenly stopped, walked over and grabbed one of Jingzhi's arms.

"Hah...... How? Jingzhi snickered and said, "When a child goes out, do you need a parent?" ”

"I hate it!" Qi'er also smiled evilly and said, "Hehe! Let's two, this is obviously showing affection! ”

"Heh, you also know that in the UK, two girls walk like this," said, Jingzhi gently squeezed Qi'er's arm with her hand, "Foreigners will think we are a couple of homosexuals!" After saying that, Jingzhi unnaturally wanted to pull her arm out of Qi'er's arms.

"Uh-huh! Ha ha...... Ha ha! I know! Qi'er smiled happily, her eyes blurred into two slits, as if a pair of curved crescents were hanging from her face. So what's the matter! Let's just have a good relationship! Who cares what relationship! ”

Hearing Qi'er say this, Jingzhi felt that it was not unreasonable, and said with a relaxed expression: "Well, it makes sense for you to say that!" The two of us are pure friendship! Go your own way and let others misunderstand! ”

Qi'er was very proud, giggling from time to time along the way. The two walked together through a few streets and came to a bus stop.

"This is the station, get your coins ready! Do you have change? If not, I have plenty of them, enough for the two of us. Just give it back to me when you get home. ”

Qi'er put down the arm holding Jingzhi and pulled out a fluffy orange coin bag from her backpack, which was filled with pound coins of various denominations.

"Oh my God, you're carrying so many coins!" Jingzhi said in surprise, "It's really heavy!" ”

"Yes! When I first came to the UK, I often didn't have any coins, so I couldn't get on the bus. Qi'er proudly took the change bag in her hand, "Okay now, I bought the change bag and stuffed all the change I usually find back here." This way, every time I go out, I have change to take the car! ”

"Wow, what a great idea! I'll see how much money I've brought......" Jingzhi said as she began to rummage through her jacket pockets, "Oh...... Let me see...... Well, it's just enough for me to use alone. ”

"Alright then!" Qi'er said simply, "I'll go over there and see when the car we're going to take will come!" ”

After saying that, Qi'er ran two steps, stared carefully in front of a bus timetable for a while, looked at her watch again, turned her face, and said excitedly, "Wait two more minutes!" No! A minute is all you can do! ”

"Huh?" Jingzhi pointed to a bus that was gradually approaching this station and asked Qi'er, "Look, is that one?" ”

Qi'er looked in the direction Jingzhi pointed and replied very decisively: "That's right! That's it! This bus is going to the city center! ”

The bus in the distance gradually approached, and Jingzhi stretched out her hand. The bus slowed down and finally stopped in front of the stop sign. Qi'er got into the car first and put the change she had held in her hand early into the coin box. Jingzhi also hurried over, and also put the change she had prepared into the coin box.

There were only a few sporadic people sitting in the car. Qi'er's steps were fast, and before the car door could close, she had already found a window seat in the front row and sat down. Jingzhi's pace was much slower, and by the time she sat down next to Qi'er, the car had already begun to move.

Jingzhi usually takes the bus alone and likes to sit by the window. She likes to look out the window and quietly enjoy the scenery outside the window. Sitting by the window today is Qi'er. Qi'er didn't care about the scenery outside the window, she was looking down and thinking about the recipe for the evening.

Qi'er suddenly turned her head and asked Jingzhi, who was sitting next to her, "Senior Sister Jingzhi, do you have any special favorite dishes to eat at night?" ”

Jingzhi tilted her head and thought for a few seconds, not knowing how to answer Qi'er's question. First, she didn't know what Qi'er would cook, for fear that if she said the name of the dish, Qi'er wouldn't make it and make both of them very embarrassed; Second, she had just finished lunch, and she was not hungry at all now, and it was hard to say that when she was hungry in the evening, she would suddenly remember what to eat.

"When you asked, I really hadn't thought about what to eat for the night. What do you like to cook? Jingzhi had no choice but to ask Qi'er.

"Hee-hee, I really like to make boiled fish. What do you think? Do you like to eat? As she spoke, Qi'er grimaced and licked her lower lip lightly, imagining her best dish, and her heart was delicious.

"Boiled fish? Oh my God, you'll make boiled fish! Awesome! My favorite dish! ”

Jingzhi gently patted Qi'er's shoulder and made a very admiring expression.

"Hey, hey, hey! Overpraise! Overpraise! As she spoke, Qi'er patted her chest hard and said confidently, "Tell you, I'm a chef!" In the old dormitory, they usually just made do with food. Whenever I have time, my roommates in the dormitory buy ingredients together, wait for me to cook for myself, and eat my dishes together. Others contributed, I contributed, and in the end, everyone ate my food together. That's called a treat! How do you mean that......" Qi'er raised her face and pondered for two seconds, "Ah...... Right! Mutual benefit! It's mutually beneficial! ”

Jingzhi said incredulously, "Oh? So, I've really found a treasure? ”

"Of course!" Qi'er said proudly, "Sister Jingzhi, didn't you say you practiced." If a bad guy comes, you'll have to protect me! Otherwise, no one will make you something to eat! I'm such a chef, if you leave, you'll lose a lot! After speaking, Qi'er randomly flipped her right eyelid a few times, as if she was giving Jingzhi some code. Presumably Qi'er has watched too many movies, fantasizing about what important person she is, and she needs Jingzhi to protect her twenty-four hours a day.

"Haha......" Jingzhi laughed, "yes, yes...... Don't worry, the bad guys are coming, and I will protect you! ”

"Haha...... Qi'er laughed out loud, "are you kidding...... Just kidding......"

The quiet atmosphere in the car was broken by the hearty laughter of two people for a while. The two men suddenly realized that this was rude, and immediately stopped laughing.

Jingzhi lowered her head, leaned next to Qi'er's ear, and whispered, "I'm not kidding. I did practice taekwondo when I was in college, and I was still a black belt! ”

Jingzhi's expression suddenly became serious, which made Qi'er have to believe that Senior Sister Jingzhi, who looked gentle and demure, was actually a female man in her bones.

"Taekwondo? Black belt? Really? Qi'er couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it's true!" Jingzhi said with great certainty.

"How many black belts?"

"The time was too rushed, and I only practiced for a while. I have time to practice again in the future, but now my studies are heavier, and I haven't had time. ”

"Awesome! Terrible! Qi'er said with a sigh.

"It's nothing, it's just that basic self-defense is a must. Girls, you always have to protect yourself. You're right? ”

"Well, that makes sense." Qi'er clenched her right fist and raised it slightly, "It seems that I have to practice when I have time." ”

"Haha, okay." Hearing Qi'er say this, Jingzhi was very happy. She clenched her left fist and lightly touched Qi'er's right fist a few times, and said to her excitedly: "When you finish practicing, we can have a good fight." ”

"Then we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!" Qi'er said dejectedly, glanced at Jingzhi worriedly, and drooped her head.

"It's okay, what we have is time." Jingzhi gently patted Qi'er's shoulder a few times to encourage her, "Cheer up!" What else would you like to cook in the evening? Do you need me to do it? ”

"What's the next cooking...... Do...... What's the dish...... What a dish"

Qi'er kept looking down and talking to herself, and didn't look up for a long time. Jingzhi was too embarrassed to disturb her again, so she had to stare intently out of the window so as not to sit too much.

After a long while, Jingzhi gently patted Qi'er's arm and asked eagerly, "Hey, look, is it almost there?" ”

"Oops! This is the stop! Qi'er shouted, and several people around looked over, but at this time, Qi'er didn't care about anything else, and continued to shout, "Get out of the car!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Qi'er stood up in a panic and walked crookedly towards the car door. Still Jingzhi calmed down and pressed the red stop button in front of the seat first.

When the bus driver heard the stop signal, he immediately stepped on the brakes and stopped the bus firmly next to the stop sign.

"Oops! Oh my God! Qi'er ran out of the car and said with emotion, "It's really scared to death!" If you sit on the station, you will have to walk for a while! ”

arrived at the station safely, Jingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She gradually calmed down and asked Qi'er, "Where do we go to the supermarket first?" ”

Hearing Jingzhi's words, Qi'er thought for a few seconds and said slowly, "We have to go buy some vegetables and meat." Besides...... Oh, and by the way, we had to go to a Chinese supermarket to buy some dried chili peppers and peppercorns. The ones I brought from home were all eaten a few days ago! ”

When Jingzhi heard Qi'er's words, she said excitedly, "That's right! I remembered when you said that! I also have to go to a Chinese supermarket to buy some seasonings, and I still lack several of my own seasonings! Well, you can also buy some tofu! It's been a long time since I've eaten my own tofu! ”

At this time, Qi'er suddenly had an idea and said proudly: "You mean tofu?" What a great idea! Mapo tofu, my specialty! ”

"Mapo tofu? Are you sure? So, I'm really blessed tonight? With that, Jingzhi put her two hands into the pockets of her trench coat. After getting out of the car, she gradually felt a little cold, and her hands were already cold.

Qi'er leaned up her little head and said to Jingzhi confidently, "Of course! Mapo tofu is my specialty! ”

Hearing that Qi'er was going to make mapo tofu for herself at night, Jingzhi said happily: "Then let's go directly to the Chinese supermarket now and buy all the things that should be bought, what do you think?" ”

Qi'er said very decisively: "Let's go buy vegetables and meat to eat at night first!" Then go to the Chinese supermarket! Two supermarkets are not too far away! ”

"Alright! Listen to you! You are the boss！ Of course, I also want to buy some vegetables and fruits, as well as drinks. The refrigerator at home is almost empty! ”

Qi'er pointed to the road ahead and said to Jingzhi: "Let's go all the way forward, and we won't be able to walk a few steps to the door of the supermarket!" ”

Jingzhi looked in the direction of Qi'er's finger and found a small supermarket chain, and then asked Qi'er: "Are you talking about the Tesco in front?" ”

"yes...... Oh, yes...... That's it! ”

The two men walked side by side for a few minutes until they reached the door of the Tesco house. Qi'er took out her coin bag, took out a one-pound coin from it, and said in a concerned tone, "I'm going to get a shopping cart!" Sister Jingzhi, it's cold outside, you can go in first, I think you're about to freeze! Don't worry, I'll look for you in the supermarket in a moment! ”

Before Jingzhi could reply, Qi'er had already walked away with light steps. She seemed to be in good spirits and had a lot of energy. As for Jingzhi, when she went out, she thought she was just going to a restaurant near her apartment for lunch, so she only wore a thin shirt wrapped in a thin trench coat with a low neck. Walking from the bus stop, the cold wind poured down her neckline along the way, freezing Jingzhi's whole body a little stiff. She heard what Qi'er had just said, and trotted all the way through the automatic doors of the supermarket, until she stopped in a very warm part of the supermarket.

Although the place where Jingzhi stood was not close to the door, she kept staring at the door intently, but fortunately saw Qi'er enter the door for the first time. When Qi'er pushed the shopping cart through the automatic door of the supermarket, Jingzhi immediately raised her arms high and kept waving hard. Qi'er saw Jingzhi and trotted all the way over with the shopping cart.

Approaching Jingzhi, Qi'er gasped and said, "Sister Jingzhi, you are really afraid of the cold, come to such a shelter and wait for me......"

Hearing Qi'er's words, Jingzhi said helplessly: "Alas...... I...... I can't help it. People are coming in and out near the door, and the wind is very strong......"

Qi'er was completely confused, her palms were hot, and her body was sweating from the trotting just now. She could easily tell from Jingzhi's somewhat pale face that she was indeed not lightly frozen.

Jingzhi took the cart in Qi'er's hand, and found that the steel pipe that should have been cold was covered by Qi'er's two little hands and was hot, and sighed: "You are really a little stove!" ”

"Little stove?" Qi'er opened her mouth wide, raised her round little head, raised her eyebrows, and said smugly: "It's the first time someone has called me that, haha!" It seems that the difference between people's bodies is really big! Senior Sister Jingzhi, don't look at your figure so good, and you are a big beauty, I didn't expect you to be so afraid of the cold! Is...... What's that really called? ”

"You mean weak?" Jingzhi said helplessly.

Qi'er nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" It is! It's just weak and can't help the wind! ”

Jingzhi wanted to cry without tears, and explained to Qi'er with a wry smile: "Alas, there is no way, I have been like this since I was a child...... I'm not afraid of the heat at all, but I'm especially afraid of the cold......"

After speaking, Jingzhi pushed the supermarket shopping cart and walked two steps, stopped in front of a pile of vegetables, and whispered to Qi'er: There are more types of vegetables here, let's buy each other. Put your belongings in this shopping cart and take them out at checkout. What do you think? ”

When Qi'er heard Jingzhi's suggestion, she readily agreed without much thought, and said to Jingzhi, "No problem! I raise my hands in favor! ”

Seeing that Qi'er had no opinion at all, Jingzhi put the shopping cart in place with confidence, picked out a tender cucumber, and put it in the shopping cart with peace of mind; I picked up a box of fresh tomatoes and two packed corn together, walked back and put them in the shopping cart.

Jingzhi hated eating carrots since she was a child, but after coming to the UK, she found that in the UK, carrots are not only much cheaper than other dishes, but also stored in the refrigerator for a longer period of time, and are also very nutritious. After coming to the UK, Jingzhi began to follow the local customs and eat a little carrot every day. Over time, she gradually got used to eating carrots. Eventually, Jingzhi became very fond of carrots, and every time she came to the supermarket, she had to buy a few. Of course, today is no exception.

In addition to carrots, Jingzhi "developed" a technique of stir-frying three-color peppers during her master's degree, and anyone who has tasted it thinks it is good. Jingzhi often goes to the supermarket to buy three-color peppers: red, yellow, green, and three colors of green peppers are packaged together and packed into a transparent plastic bag, which is both beautiful and delicious.

In a few minutes, Jingzhi picked out the vegetables she wanted to buy one by one and carefully put them in the shopping cart. When I finished all this work, I found that the shopping cart had unconsciously been occupied by fruits and vegetables of different colors, but I couldn't see Qi'er.

When she first entered the door, she was too hasty, but now that she has calmed down, Jingzhi realized that today is Saturday, and there are really a lot of people who come out to shop, almost all of them are foreigners, from children who can just walk to gray-haired old people. Several yellow-haired children with small frames were held by their parents and wandered around the supermarket, reaching out to touch the vegetable and the fruit from time to time.

Jingzhi couldn't find Qi'er, and pushed the cart forward very slowly, for fear of bumping into a child who was wandering in the supermarket.

Jingzhi was very confused and didn't know where to find Qi'er, but fortunately, she wasn't worried, believing that Qi'er would not be lost in the supermarket as an adult. She thought to herself, should she just shout out of thin air to see if Qi'er would respond. Suddenly, someone slapped Jingzhi on the shoulder hard, causing Jingzhi to shiver in fright.

"Senior Sister Jingzhi, haven't you warmed up yet? How do you walk slowly or slowly? Have you bought all the vegetables? ”

Jingzhi turned around and found that it was Qi'er, and said tremblingly, "You...... You're scaring me to death! You just slapped me so hard that I thought you were going to say something like that, 'Don't move!' Hand over the money! Something like that scares me! ”

"Robbery? Oh, my God! Sister Jingzhi! You're imaginative! ”

"If you pick up a carrot from the side and put it in my back, maybe I'll hand it over!" Jingzhi said seriously.

Qi'er looked at Jingzhi in surprise and said incredulously, "Ah! Are you saying that if I were like that, you would really give me the money? ”

"No...... No, no, no......", Jingzhi slyly stretched out her left index finger and shook it back and forth in front of Qi'er's eyes a few times, turned sideways and pointed to the basket of the trolley, "Oh, did you see that box of tomatoes?" ”

"Well, I see! How? Qi'er asked curiously.

"I'll pick it up and slap it in your face...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha ......" After speaking, Jingzhi covered her stomach and laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up. Qi'er couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to pat Jingzhi's shoulder again and said, "I said...... This big beauty...... Do you want to have a big meal tonight? ”

Jingzhi saw Qi'er's expression of a swinger flirting with a woman from a good family, and immediately folded her hands, put them on her chest, turned around, leaned forward slightly in front of Qi'er, and deliberately lowered her voice and said seriously: "Ah, sin, sin." The monks don't speak, Xiaoni has just come down from the mountain and doesn't know the current affairs. Just teasing the donor, it was just a little joke with the donor, and there was no malice, I hope the donor will forgive me, don't ...... Don't take it personally! ”

"Hah...... Ha ha...... Ha ......"

When Qi'er heard Jingzhi's words, the arm on Jingzhi's shoulder slid down suddenly, holding her stomach and laughing.

"Haha...... Ha...... Ha...... Jing...... Sister Jingzhi...... You...... You fancy ...... Ha ha...... It looks so ...... Ha ha...... Lady...... Again...... Is...... Another doctor...... Ha ha...... Unexpectedly...... Ha ha...... It will also be opened...... Just kidding...... Ha ha...... It's incredible...... No way...... No way...... Ha ha...... I'm going to...... I'm going to die laughing...... I'm going to die laughing...... Hahaha......"

Jingzhi just covered her mouth and smiled, but pretended to be calm and said, "But don't lose your life!" I'm still waiting for your meal! ”

"Oops...... No...... No...... It really makes my stomach hurt with laughter! ”

After a few more seconds, Jingzhi saw that Qi'er was gradually standing up straight, and her mood returned to normal, so she pushed the shopping cart and prepared to move forward.

In such a big supermarket, the first time the two of them went out shopping, Jingzhi didn't know what Qi'er liked to buy, so she had to ask her, "Where are we going next?" What else would you like to buy? ”

Qi'er replied simply: "Let's go buy meat." You see, it's over there. ”

Jingzhi saw that Qi'er did not go straight forward, but turned to the left, so she had to turn the shopping cart and follow. What Qi'er was looking for was a refrigerated shelf, and Jingzhi didn't take a few steps before she saw Qi'er standing still next to a shelf that sold refrigerated meat. Qi'er took a box of packaged pork and put it in the shopping cart, which contained two pieces of sliced pork chops. She took a few more steps forward, picking out the fish she was going to eat for the night. Qi'er couldn't pay attention, so she had to turn around and ask, "Sister Jingzhi, what kind of fish do you like to eat here?" ”

"You ask me what kind of fish I like to eat?" Jingzhi wondered, "Why, you can't choose what kind of fish to make in your boiled fish?" ”

"No, you know that this supermarket doesn't sell the kind of river fish we have in China, they are all marine fish produced here. Alas......" Qi'er sighed, "The taste is definitely not as good as ours, and we can only make do with it." Sister Jingzhi, what kind of food do you like to eat? ”

"Ah, I really didn't pay attention to what you said. I don't know how to cook boiled fish, and I really didn't notice that there are no river fish from us here. ”

"Hmm." Qi'er beckoned, "Sister Jingzhi, let's take a look, let's see, what kind of fish are going to eat tonight." ”

Jingzhi walked up to Qi'er, swept her eyes at it, and said, "Then ask for this, I usually buy this." ”

Qi'er took a box of fish handed over by Jingzhi, which contained two large pieces of crystal clear fish meat, and a few large letters were printed on the label in black ink: "COD".

Jingzhi turned to look at Qi'er sideways and asked her, "You also like to eat cod, right?" ”

"I'm okay, I didn't like any kind of fish here at first. But now I'm completely used to it, and I can eat any of them. ”

"That's good, we can't let our chefs affect their cooking skills because of the cooking materials."

"Of course! A chef is a chef! Qi'er's eyes flashed with smugness when she spoke, which made this girl full of confidence charming for a while.

Seeing Qi'er's confident appearance, Jingzhi happily patted her shoulder, smiled, and said, "Then let's see your performance tonight!" ”

Qi'er also laughed and replied confidently, "Haha! No problem! ”

The two men continued to walk along the refrigerated cabinet. Qi'er bought another small box of chicken breasts, saying that she could go back to make Kung Pao Chicken. Jingzhi prefers chicken wings, and she puts a large box of chicken wings in her shopping cart. When she reached the end of the refrigerator, Qi'er suddenly remembered that she hadn't bought the staple food she wanted to eat at night, but she didn't know what to buy, so she had to ask Jingzhi: "Sister Jingzhi, what do you want to eat as the staple food for dinner?" ”

Qi'er suddenly asked, Jingzhi didn't know how to answer, so she had to say dumbfoundedly: "Well, I can do it, I'm not a picky eater." What do you usually buy to eat? ”

Hearing Jingzhi ask herself, Qi'er finally couldn't help but open the conversation box and said seriously: "Me? I brought a rice cooker from home, and I usually eat rice and occasionally bread. Recently, I have been busy writing papers all day long, and I eat egg fried rice almost every day, so that I just finished eating all the ten catties of rice I bought a few days ago. It's also going to move, and it's a hassle to have too many things, so I'm not in a hurry to buy a new one. ”

"Oh, that's right." Jingzhi nodded, "Then let's buy another bag of rice today, and you can continue to cook rice in a rice cooker in the future." ”

"Then let's go to a Chinese supermarket and buy it!" , Qi'er almost jumped up with excitement all of a sudden, there is Northeast rice there, which is 10,000 times better than the rice sold here in Tesco. ”

Jingzhi was still a little uneasy, for fear that she would not buy anything, so she asked casually: "Okay, then can we buy anything else in Tesco?" ”

Qi'er tilted her head and thought for a moment, calmed down, and said, "Buy some more eggs, I'll go over there to get a box, you go to the front of the cashier and wait in line to pay." ”

"Well, okay", Jingzhi smiled slightly with satisfaction, "Then I'll push the cart to the cash register over there and wait for you." ”

Jingzhi pushed the shopping cart alone and moved towards the cash register little by little. This time, she was not only afraid of bumping into the children, but also of breaking the things she had just put in the shopping cart.

There was a long queue in front of the cash register, and Jingzhi looked at it and found the shortest line at the back. She was afraid that Qi'er would not be able to come and see her, so she looked around from time to time to look for Qi'er's figure.

Qi'er moved much faster than Jingzhi imagined. Jingzhi hadn't moved a few times in line, and Qi'er had already run over with a large box of eggs.

"Woohoo!" Qi'er gasped, "It's finally time to catch up!" ”

"Ah, you're so fast!" Jingzhi gave a thumbs up and praised: "You dare to run so fast with such a big box of eggs!" ”

"Huh?" Qi'er shouted, "I go to the gym every day to run, and I really use it this time!" ”

"Hey! Hush! Jingzhi was so panicked that she picked up the fingers of her right hand and put them to her lips, "You be quiet, you see that everyone around you is looking at us!" ”

Qi'er looked around and found that the men and women around her, young and old, were watching them in unison, their faces flushed and purple, and they touched the back of their heads vigorously.

"Haha, don't worry!" Jingzhi covered her mouth and snickered, "It's our turn soon, and when we get out of the supermarket gate, we will be free!" ”

"Hmm." Qi'er also nodded stiffly, "The atmosphere here is too dull!" I'm going to get out and get some free air. ”

Jingzhi thought that she and Qi'er's things were still mixed together in the shopping cart, and they would have to pay separately for a while, so she asked her, "Do you pay first or do I pay first?" ”

"I'll pay first, so I can go out and wait for you at the door first. Aren't you afraid of the cold? ”

"Great idea!"

Jingzhi handed the trolley to Qi'er and stood behind Qi'er. Qi'er pushed the shopping cart alone and slowly moved forward. When she arrived at the cash register, Qi'er picked out her things from the shopping cart little by little and placed them on the side of the cash register, waiting for the cashier to scan them one by one.

The cashier was a chubby middle-aged British woman with a pair of black-rimmed glasses. When she saw Qi'er neatly tidying up what she was going to scan, she said to her in a deep voice, "Hello! ”

Qi'er also greeted politely: "Hello! ”

"Do you need a bag?"

"Please give me a big bag, thank you!"

The cashier immediately pulled out a large plastic bag from the inside of the cash register, stretched it out, and put the things Qi'er bought into the bag little by little.

"Cash or card?"

"Swipe your card, thank you."

Qi'er took out a bank card from her wallet and handed it to the cashier. The cashier gets the card and inserts it into the card machine and asks Qi'er to enter the password. Qi'er stretched out her right hand and hurriedly pressed the password on the credit card machine. The cashier handed her the shopping slip and Qi'er's card, and Qi'er took them into her wallet, turned her head and whispered to Jingzhi, "I'll be waiting for you near the door." ”

Jingzhi pushed the shopping cart forward and nodded. Qi'er lifted the large plastic bag on the cash register and walked quickly towards the door of the supermarket.

The cashier saw Jingzhi pushing the shopping cart, and there were still a lot of things in it that had not been paid, and said to Jingzhi: "Hello! ”

"Hello!" Jingzhi replied politely.

After saying hello, Jingzhi quickly carried the contents of the shopping cart to the cash register one by one. In order to speed up, the cashier started scanning without waiting for Jingzhi to finish moving all the things, and asked Jingzhi by the way: "Do you need a bag?" ”

Jingzhi glanced at the things she bought and said to the aunt at the cashier, "Please give me two small bags." Thank you! ”

The cashier immediately took out two small plastic bags and put them on the cash register. Jingzhi separated the scanned goods into two bags, one for fruits and vegetables, and the other for raw meat.

"Cash or card?"

"Please swipe your card!"

Jingzhi took out her bank card from her wallet and handed it to the cashier. The cashier took Jingzhi's bank card and inserted it into the card machine, and asked Jingzhi to enter the password. Jingzhi saw that there was someone behind her, so she covered her left hand with her right hand and pressed a few numbers on the credit card machine, and then pressed the green confirmation button.

"Okay, here's your shopping list and bank card."

"Thank you!"

Jingzhi took the shopping list and bank card, put it in her wallet, put it away, put the two full shopping bags into the shopping cart, and pushed the shopping cart forward quickly. After walking a few steps, she saw Qi'er standing at the door waiting for her, and the things she bought were placed on the ground at her feet.

"Ah, you've got it all right! So fast! ”

"Luckily, the cashier is pretty fast."

Jingzhi lifted the two shopping bags from the shopping cart and put them on the ground, and asked Qi'er, "Where are we going next?" ”

Qi'er didn't think about it, and said directly to Jingzhi: "There is a Chinese supermarket not far away." ”

"Really? Looks like I'm really new to the city. ”

"Hmm!" Qi'er nodded very affirmatively, "Go through the intersection ahead, and then turn a corner." You wait for me here, I'll go and return the cart. ”

"Hmm."

It didn't take long for Qi'er to run over quickly and say breathlessly, "Sister Jingzhi, let's go!" ”

Qi'er lifted her large shopping bag and walked out of the supermarket door with Jingzhi. There was still a cold wind blowing outside the door, and Jingzhi couldn't help but shiver.

"It's just a few steps ahead, Sister Jingzhi, bear with me a little longer."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Qi'er led Jingzhi on the road in the center of Mutas to the door of a small supermarket. Qi'er held a shopping bag in one hand and pushed the door open with the other, so that Jingzhi, who was holding a shopping bag in each hand, advanced. Jingzhi saw Qi'er at the door and hurriedly got into the door, and Qi'er also walked in.

"This is it, although the place is not big, but there are quite a lot of things sold, enough for the two of us to eat."

Hearing Qi'er behind her say this, Jingzhi turned her head and whispered: "The entrance of this supermarket doesn't look big, and there are really a lot of things sold inside!" I thought it was just a small grocery store! ”

Qi'er giggled, "Hehe, it's much more than the average small grocery store!" ”

"Then let's choose quickly, and go home early when we finish buying. Don't you have to cook a big meal tonight? ”

"No problem!" Qi'er said confidently.

The proprietress saw Jingzhi and Qi'er carrying things in their hands, so she walked out from behind the counter and said unhurriedly, "Oops! So many things bought! You two ......"

Jingzhi was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to reply. Or Qi'er behind Jingzhi spoke first: "Boss, where do we put things?" ”

"Oh, just put it next to the counter. As long as you tie the bag, no one will move around. Rest assured, there's surveillance everywhere here. ”

Hearing the proprietress say this, Jingzhi's tense nerves relaxed suddenly, and she gently put the two shopping bags in her hand on the floor on the side of the counter, and tied the two bags hard. Qi'er was also on the side, tying her large shopping bag tightly to make sure the contents didn't fall out.

The two men packed up their things, each carried a small shopping basket, and walked towards a row of shelves one after the other. Suddenly, Qi'er, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Jingzhi: "Do you want to buy ordinary refrigerated tofu or frozen tofu?" ”

Jingzhi lowered her head and thought about it, then raised her head and replied, "Let's buy ordinary refrigerated tofu, it will be fresher." ”

Hearing Jingzhi's words, Qi'er nodded in agreement: "Well, refrigerated tofu is indeed much fresher, but the shelf life is too short." ”

Qi'er took Jingzhi to a row of shelves with refrigerated goods, pointed to a few boxes of tofu imported from Asia, and said, "Look, there are only these kinds of tofu." ”

Jingzhi and Qi'er each picked a box and put it in the small basket they were carrying. Jingzhi felt fresh and wanted to go shopping alone, so she proposed: "Don't you want to buy cooking materials, I won't delay you." I'd like to have a good walk by myself. ”

Qi'er thought it was a good idea, so she nodded happily and said, "Okay...... Okay......"

"Then let's meet at the door, whoever arrives first will wait there first, how about it?"

"Okay...... Okay......" Qi'er nodded repeatedly.

Although this Chinese supermarket is not large, it does have a lot of products. Jingzhi scrutinized each shelf and found everything from instant noodles to ham sausages, compressed biscuits to lollipops. Lao Gan Ma, Lee Kum Kee, Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar, etc., all kinds of seasonings are also readily available. Jingzhi bought a bottle of Lao Gan Ma and two packs of instant noodles. She thought it would fill her stomach when she didn't have time to cook.

"It's so convenient to have such a Chinese supermarket!" Jingzhi muttered to herself.

Jingzhi finished shopping, walked to the cashier at the door, didn't see Qi'er, paid the bill first, and then stuffed the things she bought into the two plastic bags she carried when she entered the door. The two plastic bags, which had not yet been filled, were filled at once.

Soon, Qi'er also came over with a basket. The basket in her hand was almost full.

"Hey, you've bought so many things!" Jingzhi sighed, "It's worthy of being a person who wants to make a big meal, and it's different to shoot!" ”

"Haha, it's all big ingredients and condiments. The chef's seasoning is the same! ”

Jingzhi saw Qi'er holding a basket in her right hand and pinching her waist with her left hand, she couldn't help laughing, and praised her: "Hehe, yes, yes, you are a chef!" Of course, this cooking thing is the same...... Can't miss ......"

Qi'er saw the two full plastic bags beside Jingzhi, and asked her casually, "Look at your things, you've packed up." Are you done paying? ”

"Well, I've got it all figured out." As she spoke, Jingzhi pointed to the cash register, "I'm waiting for you now." ”

The proprietress behind the counter sat peacefully, waiting for Qi'er to pay. Qi'er gently placed the basket next to the cash register. The proprietress saw that Qi'er had bought a lot of things, and asked with concern, "Little girl, do you want to take a bag?" ”

"Hmm!" Qi'er said cheerfully, "I want a big bag!" ”

The proprietress scanned the things Qi'er bought, and helped Qi'er put them all in a new plastic bag. Qi'er paid the money and was about to go out, only to hear Jingzhi beside her say to her worriedly: "With so many things, holding them in two hands, can you hold them all the way to the station?" If it's really hard, don't force it. ”

"It's okay!" Qi'er's expression was still very confident when she spoke, "Besides, the station is not far, just a few steps away." ”

Seeing Qi'er's confident appearance, Jingzhi's worries suddenly became much less. The proprietress saw that the two of them had bought a lot of things, so she went to the door and opened the door for the two of them.

"Thank you!" Jingzhi said gratefully to the proprietress when she went out.

"It's okay!" The hostess smiled, "Welcome to the next time!" ”

“Bye!” Qi'er, who was walking behind Jingzhi, said happily to the proprietress when she went out.

“Bye！” The proprietress said to Jingzhi and Qi'er's backs.

Jingzhi and Qi'er struggled to move to a bus stop sign.

"Alas, at last...... Finally able to take a break! Jingzhi said breathlessly.

"Oops, I'm tired!" Qi'er put her things at her feet.

Both of them felt tired and waited quietly in front of the stop sign for the bus. Luckily, the bus they were going to take didn't take long to arrive. As soon as the bus stopped in front of the stop sign, two people carried a few plastic bags onto the bus with lightning speed.

"Oops, I don't have enough change!" Jingzhi said in horror.

"It's okay! I have enough money! After saying that, Qi'er took out the coin bag from the pocket of her coat, found a few coins, and put the money into the coin box.

Seeing that Qi'er had paid, the driver closed the door with satisfaction and slowly drove the car away from the bus stop.

It's Saturday and it's always crowded with cars from the city centre to the outskirts. There were no empty seats in the car, and there were a few people standing. Jingzhi and Qi'er staggered and barely stood in the corner, and if they hadn't clung to the handrail, they would probably have fallen at some turn.

Jingzhi was no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery outside the window, and kept staring down at her two plastic bags, for fear of being stepped on by herself or someone else.

Qi'er may have been too tired just now, and with the occasional sharp turn on the bus, she is dizzy now.

It took a while to get to the station where Jingzhi and Qi'er were going to go. Jingzhi pressed the stop button. The driver then stopped at the station. Jingzhi and Qi'er waited for the car to stop, then picked up the things they bought on the ground and walked out of the car with staggering steps.

Two people walked side by side on the sidewalk home. Their home, two more turns, is there.

"Alas, finally a sigh of relief! I was about to suffocate in the car just now! Qi'er said indignantly.

"Well, who made it Saturday? At this point, there are so many people in the car! Jingzhi comforted Qi'er and said.

"Not really! There are so many people! Qi'er sighed again.

"Well, let's go home, I'm still waiting for your feast! Chef! Jingzhi said in an expectant tone.

"Haha, no problem!" A smug smile appeared on Qi'er's face again.
