Chapter 9 Grocery Shopping
Now that he knew that the initiator was Li Weiqiang, Jiang Xiaobai was not so anxious.
His mind, plans and ideas for dealing with this person gradually matured.
Bang bang bang!
Go back to the earth and stone house and knock on the wooden door of the earth and stone house.
"Who!"
"Me."
The door was opened, and Ji Luoxue appeared in front of Jiang Xiaobai with a nervous and worried face, two hours had passed since she came over before, and in a while, Ji Luoxue would go to school.
This point came back, and it was a little earlier than Ji Luoxue's normal point.
"Brother, you're back, are you okay?"
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai, Ji Luoxue hurriedly asked.
"I'm fine."
touched Ji Luoxue's head, but Jiang Xiaobai frowned and said, "What's the matter, I don't know how to put on clothes when I open the door, don't you know how cold it is this day?" ”
"I'm not cold."
Ji Luoxue mixed her mouth, and saw the wolf thigh that Jiang Xiaobai was carrying in her hand: "Brother, what kind of meat are you carrying?" ”
"Wolf leg meat, we'll eat it in a while."
Ji Luoxue was suddenly very happy.
Jiang Xiaobai knew that Ji Luoxue's happiness at this time was more because he had come back safely from the dangerous wilderness again.
"If it's not cold, go make a fire."
"Yes!"
Ji Luoxue immediately took action.
After a while, the fire was lit, and the earth and stone room seemed to be a lot warmer, and this time when he came back, in addition to the task, Jiang Xiaobai brought back three wolf thighs.
Three big wolf legs, one was given to Xu Jimin to offset the credit, and one was given to Ah Dong to ask Uncle Lan about it, and he also thanked him for helping Uncle Lan come back and taking care of him for many years.
The last remaining one.
Jiang Xiaobai divided it into two halves, and Uncle Lan was injured and wanted to leave half of it for him to recuperate.
When Jiang Xiaobai was cutting those wolf meat and dividing the wolf bones, he thought of the money again.
It's not good to give that money to Uncle Lan.
First, with Uncle Lan's temperament of wanting to save face, he will definitely not ask for money if he is given.
Second, the soldier assessment is imminent, and a large fee needs to be paid to register for the soldier assessment.
Moreover, winter is coming soon, and I will also buy new clothes and food for Ji Luoxue, perhaps, I can buy a thick cotton jacket for Uncle Lan and buy some tobacco?
But smoking tobacco is not good for healing?
Jiang Xiaobai secretly thought in his heart, and the water in the iron pot quickly boiled.
……
"Brother, I'm going to school."
An hour later, Ji Luoxue, who had eaten wolf meat and drank the broth, beckoned to Jiang Xiaobai and ran towards the school with her schoolbag on her back.
Jiang Xiaobai moved a small bench, sat in front of the door, and also waved at Ji Luoxue.
The weather was grey.
It is difficult to see the distance.
And as if it doesn't want you to see it.
Jiang Xiaobai sat at the door, calculating the time.
The grocery store in the Jimin District estimated that it was about to open, and when it opened, he went to buy a good one.
At that moment, a slight creak came from behind him, and then the door opened halfway and hurriedly closed again.
"Uncle Lan, don't hide, I saw you."
Jiang Xiaobai got up and glanced at the closed wooden door behind him.
Taking out the other half of the wolf's thigh from the house, and carrying it with hemp rope, Jiang Xiaobai came to the wooden door.
This is Uncle Lan's home, next door to him.
A long time ago, Uncle Lan had a good relationship with Jiang Xiaobai's parents, and there was an unfathomable and unshakable friendship between them.
Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Uncle Lan opened the door stupidly: "It's so early, Xiaobai." ”
He looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a smile.
Jiang Xiaobai.
also looked at Uncle Lan.
Uncle Lan is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a beard on his face, and on that outing six years ago, Jiang Xiaobai's parents never came back, and Uncle Lan also broke his right arm.
The sleeve of his lonely right arm was hanging in the door at this time, and combined with the injury on his face, it made people feel a little desolate inexplicably.
"Uncle Lan."
Jiang Xiaobai sighed in his heart.
Uncle Lan, who noticed Jiang Xiaobai's expression, forced a smile on his face.
But the smile was noticeably bigger, causing injuries on his face.
"Yo! Strange pain ......"
Uncle Lan screamed.
Uncle Lan's face, the nose was blue and swollen, red, green, and where the iodophor potion was applied, you could see the blood scab of the first coagulation, reddish-brown.
"Uncle Lan, are you injured?"
"I accidentally fell and I didn't get in the way, I didn't get in the way."
Uncle Lan waved his hand indifferently, and his eyes fell on the half of the big wolf's leg: "This, got it from outside?" ”
"Hmm."
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and explained to Uncle Lan about going to the redwood forest and encountering the wolf corpses and poppy squad, of course, he didn't say that the wolves were killed by him.
"Killed by the Alien?"
"Over there in the wasteland, restless again?"
"This ......"
Frowning slightly, Uncle Lan said in a solemn tone: "Don't go out for a while." ”
"yes, I see."
Jiang Xiaobai nodded again.
"By the way, this was torn from the Jimin clinic yesterday, hehe, leave note, you will run in a while, hand it to Adong, and let Adong hand it over."
Uncle Lan took out a piece of paper from his arms.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at it.
It is to ask for half a month off from the mine.
The time was longer than expected, but it was okay for Uncle Lan to take a break and take a good rest.
"Uncle Lan, I took a wolf thigh to offset the medical expenses at the Jimin Clinic."
Jiang Xiaobai said suddenly.
Uncle Lan raised his eyebrows: "Why do you want so much!" ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Not much, Uncle Lan, you have a good rest in the past half a month, I was lucky to go to the wild last night, and I also made a lot of money selling blue locust fruit at the Jimin Clinic, and I will bring you tobacco when I come back......"
"Tobacco, you can smoke this injury, right?"
Uncle Lan suddenly stared at his nose, and the beard on his cheeks was curled: "Of course you can, but you buy less, that thing is expensive......"
"Hmm."
"Then I'll do it."
With that, Jiang Xiaobai ran towards the shantytown at high speed.
Jiang Xiaobai first came to Ah Dong's house, handed over the leave slip to Ah Dong, and told him to hand it over to their superiors.
And then.
I turned around and went to the grocery store.
Jiang Xiaobai's state at this time is quite wealthy.
Compared with the people in the collective area who have little savings, 10 silver coins and 80 copper coins on their bodies are already a lot of wealth.
When Jiang Xiaobai walked into the grocery store, his whole person was holding his head high.
Very confident.
"Little white brother."
There is only one grocery store in the Jimin area, and the owner of the grocery store is surnamed Qian, called Qian Youcai, and he is not a few years old from Uncle Lan.
When he saw Jiang Xiaobai coming like this, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
"Little white brother, what are you ordering?"
Like most people in the Jimin area, Qian Youcai is a little afraid of Jiang Xiaobai, but unlike other people's fears, Qian Youcai is more of an equal level of respect.
In the Jimin area, there are not many people who can make Qian Youcai feel capable, and Jiang Xiaobai can be regarded as one.
"It's about to be winter, so let's buy a few padded jackets."
Jiang Xiaobai said.
When Qian Youcai heard this, he was immediately happy.
The padded jacket is a high-priced item in their store, he pointed to a men's padded jacket hanging in the store and said: "Little white brother, look at this, the style, size, are suitable for you." ”
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.
"I want to buy three pieces, one for me, one for my sister, one for my Uncle Lan, by the way, I also want five catties of long bread, five catties of black bread, two catties of rice, a pack of salt, a pack of tobacco, a box of matches, ......"
"And ......"
Jiang Xiaobai wrenched his fingers and counted them all the same.
Qian Youcai was stunned for a moment, and then a smile was on his face.
Jiang Xiaobai really got rich.
In the No. 7 market area, there are more than a dozen households in the earth and stone housing area with good purchasing power.
That's a big customer of their store.
"Little white brother, this padded jacket costs 2.2 silver coins, a small one costs 1.5 silver coins, five catties of long bread costs 0.8 silver coins, five catties of black bread costs 0.6 silver coins, and two catties of rice costs ......."
Money and wealth are counted in the same way, and the last one is counted.
11.5 credits!
"So expensive?"
Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows.
Qian Youcai suddenly laughed constantly: "Little white brother, three cotton jackets and that pack of tobacco shreds, more than 8 silver coins, where tobacco leaves are planted recently, wildfires are severe, and I heard that a lot of tobacco leaves have died, so the price is higher." ”
"There are also batches of long bread, brown bread ......"
Jiang Xiaobai interrupted his chatter: "Cheaper." ”
Qian Youcai squinted and smiled.
"Little white brother come, I'll naturally be cheaper, and give a discount of 9.5 for 10 silver coins at a time, that is, 10.9 silver coins, if you don't give it on credit, the fraction will be erased for you."
Jiang Xiaobai nodded slightly.
"Wrap it up for you?"
"Wait."
Jiang Xiaobai pointed to a thing next to him wrapped in plastic film, which seemed to be ice cubes on the outside and red wild fruits on the inside: "What is this, new to it?" The color is weird and beautiful. ”
"Rock sugar gourd."
Qian Youcai explained with a smile: "I just started with the things that came from other settlements, and I heard that the children in our settlements are especially popular to eat this now, only 40 copper coins each." ”
"40 copper coins? Then do you think Luo Xue will like to eat? ”
"I definitely like it!"
Qian Youcai smiled uncontrollably.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded again, took out 10 silver coins from a money bag, and threw them on the counter: "Wrap them all, the ones you ordered just now, and this rock sugar gourd." ”
Money has wealth: "??? ”
Little white brother means this, not to buy it, but to give him one!
