Chapter 180: A Good Wife in the Family
There was a vegetable market not far from the school, and the two of them arrived in a few minutes, and it was not yet half past six, and the sky was not yet bright, but the vegetable market was already crowded with people.
A new day starts with a busy one, and everyone is working hard to make a living.
Some of them are restaurant owners who come to buy fresh vegetables; Some of them are factory or unit procurement personnel, who are responsible for the day's food for employees.
There are also second-hand dealers who come here to pick out some suitable products, sell them to the market, and sell them to people who get up early to exercise, and make a little difference in the middle price.
Flour and edible oil are easy to buy, this thing is regulated by relevant departments, the price fluctuation will not be too large, and the pricing of several stores is basically the same.
Some stores buy too much, and they may give some preferential benefits.
But they have limited funds and don't buy much, so they just choose one based on the quality.
Grocery shopping does require careful consideration.
One is because the price of food changes every day, and even in the morning and evening of the same day, the price is not the same, and the difference between the coming and going of the price is large, and the money is hard to come by, and it must be carefully calculated.
The second reason is that although the weather has turned cooler now, vegetables can be left for some days, but if you can want fresh, who wants those old vegetables?
If you buy vegetables now, then send them to the nursing home in a week, all of them are crumpled and dehydrated, so it is better not to send them.
They hope to settle down now, and when the day they go to the nursing home, they can come directly to pick up fresh food.
This requires finding a reliable boss who doesn't give them a price when delivering food on the day, and also makes sure that his food is good enough.
Wen Xueqi and Min Yao first went to the entrance of the vegetable market to see a shop, the boss was a chubby middle-aged man, wearing a coarse cloth apron, pouting his ass and putting cabbage in the sack.
He said it would save time, and those who would be old customers would be able to take it and leave, without having to wait for the bags to be filled.
They have worked together for many years and trust each other.
The other party can take a look at the dishes and believe that the quality of the dishes in this sack is the same.
The boss can also keep accounts with peace of mind when the other party does not bring money, without worrying about the other party's default.
Wen Xueqi looked at those cabbages well, all of them were big and fat, and the withered yellow leaves surrounded the outside layer by layer, and there was new green emerging at the top of the vegetables, and he couldn't wait to see the world.
She took a look at it and found that the single cabbage was very heavy, had plenty of moisture, and felt good, so she could be sure that it was fresh.
Imagine the taste of these cabbages stewed with pork, vermicelli, and radish balls.
Gee!
Wen Xueqi swallowed a mouthful of saliva quietly.
She asked about the price, 12 catties a dollar, which almost didn't scare her, it was much more expensive than the price in their village market.
She was reluctant and wanted to negotiate the price with the boss again, so she sold it to her for 18 catties.
Wen Xueqi asked him, "If you want a thousand catties, what price can you give?" ”
The fat boss said that he would give 13 catties at most, "We can't earn any money." ”
That is to say, come out and tell people.
When you open a store and do business, you only earn a lot of money, and you don't earn it.
The boss said that scarcity is expensive, this cabbage is new, and it tastes sweet in the mouth, which is naturally more expensive than ordinary cabbage.
Wen Xueqi asked him again if he could deliver it to his door, and the boss said no, so she was even more unhappy to buy it.
A dollar is only 12 catties, such an expensive cabbage, this is bullying them to wear school uniforms and not understand the market.
She walked inside with Min Yao again, and the boss on the side was even more ruthless than this fat boss, selling only 10 catties for one dollar.
Wen Xueqi didn't bother to negotiate with him after hearing this price.
You are in another 10 years, and a cabbage of 10 catties for one dollar is just the normal price, and you dare to ask for 10 catties now, so it is better to say that you don't want to do business.
After a few more stalls, everyone's ideas are quite unified, that is, to slaughter one-time customers like them, and the lowest one only gave 13 catties.
And not only cabbage, but also vermicelli, potatoes and other things, the price is much higher than the actual price on the market.
Because the price of pork is clearly marked, it is not good to ask for more, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be given bad meat.
Wen Xueqi was a little irritable.
She doesn't want to be slaughtered by others, but these small bosses are unified to raise the price, and she doesn't want to pay more, so she just doesn't sell it to her.
The store is a big bully, and she is not easy to do.
Min Yao asked her if she could call the above and let the family take care of it.
Wen Xueqi said, that must not work.
Even if someone comes from above, they sell it to others at a low price, and only give them a high price, and the above can't care about anything.
Besides, they are ordering, not buying stock, you are making such a fuss, who is still doing business with you? No one will sell you food at all.
Min Yao had no choice but to propose a different vegetable market, maybe it would be better there.
Wen Xueqi thought for a while, and it could only be like this.
So Min Yao drove her to a vegetable market across the street.
This time, Wen Xueqi did not hesitate and decisively hugged his waist.
She found out that it was quite addictive.
I hugged it once, and I always thought about it in my heart and hands. Well, she blushed a little for herself for such impure thoughts.
Coincidentally, when I arrived at the gate of the vegetable market, I happened to meet an uncle driving a tricycle passing by.
The tricycle forgot to lock the back of the tricycle, dragged the back door, and drove down the road like a tail.
There were some vegetable leaves and sacks in the car, as well as some dust, and it could be seen that it was here to make a delivery.
The truck pulling the stones left marks on the road, the tricycle was bumping and up, and the sack fell off after a few jumps.
The two hurriedly chased after him, reminded him that he had dropped something, and helped him get to the back door together.
The uncle was very grateful to the two of them, and originally took out a cigarette and wanted to give it to Min Yao, but he saw that he was a student, and smoking was not good, so he could only grit his teeth and smile, rub his hands dryly and say, "Thank you, little classmate."
Wen Xueqi said that he was not polite, and asked him what vegetables he had grown at home, how was the harvest this year, and what was the price?
The uncle himself was a real person, and seeing that they were students, he trusted them even more, so he told them all these things truthfully.
Wen Xueqi knew that this year's harvest was very good, so the price of vegetables was generally not high.
The uncle has acquaintances here, so he can send things to the vegetable market, and the price is higher than the collection of vegetables. The best cabbage sells for 20 catties, and it is good to sell 25 catties for the average cabbage.
I'll go!
The cabbage in the vegetable market just now is just an ordinary commodity, and they can get such a high price, they are really not afraid of being checked by the water meter.
Wen Xueqi said, "Uncle, the school asked us to come out to buy some vegetables, and we asked for a lot, 1,000 pounds of cabbage and 1,000 pounds of potatoes, do you have a suitable one?" Give me some. ”
The uncle was very happy to hear that there was business coming to the door, but when he remembered that it was the school, he immediately waved his hand and refused, and took two steps back.
"That's not good, you're a school. I don't dare sell you vegetables. ”
Wen Xueqi asked him why, he only waved his hand and shook his head and said, "There are rules for doing one line and one line, we little people who grow vegetables, if we don't want anything else, we just want to have a peaceful birthday, and we don't dare to do anything like stealing money from others." ”
After saying that, he was about to leave, but he thought that the two of them had done him a favor, and he couldn't repay him, so he lifted the seat of the car and took out a bag of things from it.
"This is all done by my child's mother, women are just careful, they are afraid of starvation when they come out to deliver a dish." As he spoke, he laughed again, and the wrinkles were stacked under his eyes, full of traces of happiness.
"I haven't even eaten it, it's still hot. You two children should take it and eat it, this is all made at home, and it is very fragrant. ”
The bag contained two freshly baked oil cakes, a piece of cooked spicy pimple pickles, two green onions connected to white and green, and two native eggs.
These things are all made by the uncle and his daughter-in-law, first carefully wrapped with cloth to ensure hygiene, and then put in a plastic bag to keep warm, which is very exquisite.
The uncle looks so kind, warm and simple, it seems that he has nothing to do with marrying a loving daughter-in-law.
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and the two had to accept it.
Anyway, it was time for breakfast, so I simply found a breakfast stall, and asked for a bowl of tofu brain, added chili soup to cook vermicelli, and continued after eating.
Wen Xueqi loves to drink tofu brain with chili peppers, but he is worried that he will get acne after eating too many chili peppers, so he can only use a spoon to turn around along the edge of the bowl and skim out the chili oil, leaving only some spicy taste in the bowl, just the oil cake given by the uncle, the taste is not too good.
Min Yao doesn't eat much of these things at home, but this is the first time I've eaten them.
He was embarrassed to speak, so he could only follow Wen Xueqi's example, tearing the oil cake and eating it little by little.
Wen Xueqi looked at him like that, and suddenly laughed evilly.
"Come, I'll teach you."
She peeled the eggs, crushed them in a pancake, and smoothed them up and down with a spoon; Then crush the cooked spicy gnocchi pickles until they are even, and finally put a handful of green onions and roll up the cake.
Min Yao followed her instructions, pinched the tail of the cake with one hand and the head with the other, the posture was very awkward, and took a bite of the cake.
Wen Xueqi tried to hold back a smile, he was really a little funny like that, which was very inconsistent with his image of the school grass male god on weekdays.
She remembered that in her previous life, Wu Yutong had also been taught by him to eat cakes like this.
That incident was also photographed by the media, satirizing Mr. Wu's living habits after marrying a village girl fell into the quagmire, and he changed from a cold male god to a community uncle.
The image that has been maintained for so many years has all collapsed, and Wu Yutong lost his temper for a long time, allowing his subordinates to directly collapse the media company.
It can be seen that wearing a military coat, squatting on the side of the road and smoking buttocks, and sitting on the side of the road and nibbling on green onion burritos like now, as long as you do one of these two things, no matter what kind of male god, the image must be down-to-earth.
Fortunately, Min Yao did not get angry, but ate with relish.
He said that eating green onions in the morning is indeed a bit heavy, but I have to say that this boiled egg and pickle roll oil cake tastes really good. Much better than breakfast at school.
Wen Xueqi said that of course, you can also mash the garlic cloves and eggs together and roll them in oil cakes, which is even better than this.
The things made in the school cafeteria are too monotonous, how can you understand the deliciousness of these things!
Fortunately, the price of the canteen is low, if it is a little more expensive, she really wants to come out and eat every day.
As soon as she said this, she suddenly had something else to think about.
Just now, the uncle said that he didn't dare to send food to the school, for fear of provoking people who shouldn't be messed with. Because of this, she was a little repulsed by the cafeteria, and subconsciously did not want to think about it.
But think about it carefully, no matter who delivers food to the canteen, the price must not be high, otherwise the canteen can't sell it to them so low. After all, the canteen is outsourced, and the boss also wants to make money.
Then why can't they ask the canteen to help them buy some food?
What they want is to buy good food at a low price, and it doesn't matter if the rest is it, it doesn't matter whose dish it is?
If the canteen is willing to help, they can buy good food at a low price, just like the canteen, and it is very cost-effective.
Moreover, the dishes in the canteen are delivered every day, and they are used with the freshest.
They don't need to hire another car to pull the vegetables, just transfer the vegetables out on the day of the event. You can also save a lot of money.
This is really a very good deal, why didn't she think of it earlier?
Wen Xueqi grabbed Min Yao's sleeve and shook his arm excitedly, his eyes shining.
"I've got a way, let's get back to school."
Min Yao lowered her head and looked at her childlike excited little fingers, and her eyebrows were dyed with a shy smile.
The smile was slight, and he tried not to show it, but he was still noticed by Wen Xueqi.
She realized that she was so excited that she was tugging on someone's sleeve. Quickly withdrew his hand, lowered his head and didn't dare to look into his eyes, and stammered, "That, hurry, let's go......"
scolded himself in his heart one hundred and eighty times for nothing.
You've hugged people's waists, how can you touch your sleeves and still be ashamed like this?
Are you really the one who has lived two lives?
Why be shy like this?
Is it because this time it's face-to-face?
What can I do if I kiss him in the future?
Hmm, Wen Xueqi covered her face, where is this, why is she getting more and more bullish?!
