Chapter 18 Warehouse Reality Knows Etiquette
Chen Qi, who had more than a thousand dollars on his body, went on a killing spree in the black market. This feeling is similar to his previous life when he went to the supermarket.
The Chen family lacks everything now, and there are too many things to buy.
I still need to buy rice, vegetable oil, soy sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar. With seasoning, there are too many cute animals in the mountains that can be cooked deliciously.
In addition, Chen Qi also bought a few pieces of cloth. The boys can wear dark blue cotton cloth, but for the elder sister and the younger sister, he bought two pieces of cotton cloth with small floral patterns. He plans to make a pair like classmate Pan Ye for them. skirt.
I didn’t buy other home appliances, but I still bought a flashlight and batteries.
Mountain people rely on torches to travel at night, but the range that torches can illuminate is too small, the mountain roads are rugged and dangerous, and there are many wild animals and poisonous snakes, so a flashlight is indispensable.
Chen Qi also saw someone selling pork. Pigs are also a key strategic material controlled by the state. Except for state-run non-staple food stores, others are not allowed to sell them, and the black market is ignored.
It is estimated that as long as there is a demand, someone can get an atomic bomb from Lao Maozi.
Chen Qi bought a large piece of fatty meat, and now there is no refrigerator, it is useless to buy too much meat, which is why he only buys grain and does not buy much meat.
Finally, when he was about to leave, he saw someone selling watches. A second-hand Shanghai watch only cost 80 yuan.
But the watch was too high-profile to wear, and it didn't fit his personality as a poor student in the mountains, so he had no choice but to leave.
But before leaving, he still went to the department store to buy a pair of pull-back shoes for his younger siblings and a pair of Jiefang shoes for his elder sister.
It's not that Chen Qi is stingy, he knows that with a temper like a silly big sister, he won't be willing to wear it even if you buy her back shoes, and Jiefang shoes are more to her liking.
I bought two other pens, the fruit candy weighed two catties, and the white rabbit milk candy cost 4 yuan per catty, which was too expensive to afford.
In addition, cakes are also needed, such as mung bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, black rice cakes, and fragrant cakes. Careful Chen Qi even bought four bottles of soda, ready to let the family have a taste.
Under the curious eyes of the department store salesperson, Boss Chen spent more than 100 yuan to go out with a lot of things.
Even if they are urbanites, there are very few people who make big purchases like Chen Qi. They buy whatever they see. After all, no one is rich, let alone a poor boy from the countryside.
When it was time to go home at last, Chen Qi decided to take a extravagant trip and go to the bus terminal at Chengbeiqiao to take a car back to Keqiao Town.
Although trains and ships are cheap, they are less frequent and require a long wait. Of course, Chen Qi, who is not short of money, does not want to sit there like a fool.
I don’t have a mobile phone to play with, so I can’t sit still.
What surprised him the most was that he found a snack bar next to the Chengbeiqiao bus station. He opened it himself and didn't need food stamps.
Smelling the scent, Chen Qi couldn't stop drooling, and the buns and fritters won't go bad if they are placed in the space, so you can take them out anytime you want to eat, it's so convenient.
"Boss, how do you sell these meat-wrapped fried dough sticks?"
"Big meat buns cost 10 cents and 3 cents, and fried dough sticks cost 8 cents."
This price is fully twice as expensive as a state-run hotel, but who told him not to have a ticket, and to drive at a bus station where people come and go, which is a bit of a scam.
"Boss, I want more quantity, can it be cheaper?"
The store owner frowned, "How much do you want?"
"200 buns and 200 fried dough sticks."
Akira, the steamer in the owner's hand fell to the ground: "Many, how much? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Chen Qi saw that there was no one around, so he took out a few cards of Great Unity from his pocket: "Just tell me if there are any? If there is no one, I can go."
"Yes, there is, let alone 200, you have 400, so the price will be 1 cent cheaper. You also know that I don't make much money in this small business..."
The store owner was so excited that his hands were shaking when he heard that the big customer was coming. This single business alone can make a lot of money.
Chen Qi looked at the chime clock in the snack bar: "Then quickly help me pack it up, I'm still driving."
Half an hour later, Chen Qi, who was sitting in the car, already had a big meat bun in his left hand and a big fried dough stick in his right.
After getting off the car in Keqiao Town, Chen Qi arrogantly went to the pier to change to the ferry.
You can take a boat from Keqiao to Butou Village for 2 cents. After disembarking from here, it only takes about 2 hours to walk to Xiaze Village. 2 cents can save you nearly 3 hours of walking.
For mountain people, they think that only a fool would spend 2 cents on a boat.
For a modern person like Chen Qi, he thinks only a fool would walk for 3 hours to save 20 cents. Isn’t this looking for abuse?
When he returned to the entrance of Xiaze Village, he saw his younger brother and younger sister waiting under the century-old camphor tree from a distance.
"Big Brother, Big Brother is back!"
The two of them ran over like flying, obviously they had been waiting for several days.
Chen Qi was carrying a lot of things in big and small bags at this time, and the two little guys knew at a glance that the eldest brother had made money.
Seeing the excited little brother and sister, Chen Qi hurriedly made a silent movement: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't be seen by outsiders."
The three of them nodded together and groped towards the door like thieves. Just like that, they were still seen by the second aunt Liu Cai'e. Chen Qi wondered if the woman was too full to do anything and kept staring at her home.
"Yo, isn't this the second child? Bring so many things? What's there?"
Second Aunt looked at it, and at the same time stretched out her hand to flip through it.
Chen Qi turned around and made a beautiful passing movement, avoiding the second aunt's hand.
"Second aunt, these are books issued by the school, so don't look at them as heavy, they are actually useless."
Liu Cai'e was a little confused, she clearly saw the pattern of mung bean cake written and drawn on the packaging box, how did it become a textbook?
She was a little angry, thinking that the bookworm Chen Qi had failed his studies and would open his eyes and talk nonsense, and was about to go forward to pick and pull a few more times, but who knew that the three brothers and sisters of the Chen family ran so fast that they disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Little coffin, I don't know where I got the cakes, and I don't know where to send some to my second uncle's house."
Liu Cai'e stomped her foot, turned her buttocks and walked into her small courtyard, but she didn't think about it, how had she ever helped the elders a little in these years?
Actually, Chen Qi didn't have any resentment or dissatisfaction with Liu Cai'e.
Great warehouses know etiquette, food and clothing know honor and disgrace.
Now every household is poor, and no one has any surplus food. If you help others, you will starve yourself. Of course, you can only be selfish.
But I understand it, Chen Qi is not a saintly temper, if you don't help me, why should I respect you as an elder? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to take care of each other and not interfere with each other?
Finally got something delicious. Of course, I have to close the door and feed it to my family first. Otherwise, some families will share some, and some will be shared with other families. In the end, the three monks have no water to drink.
