Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

Soon they arrived at the mall and bought a coat, cotton-padded jacket, cotton pants, hat, gloves, boots, socks, and a quilt.

Looking at the 100 yuan he spent, Jia Dongxu sighed, cotton products are really expensive at that time!

But these things are used to keep warm on the grassland.

Hu Mingcheng checked it and felt relieved when he found that there was no problem.

"Dongxu, you haven't been to the grassland, so you don't know. It's very cold now. You must prepare all these warm things."

"Okay, let's take these back first. This is a lot."

The two of them took the quilt they bought and took it back to Jia Dongxu's home.

"Bring your own water bottle, lunch box, and some more food. When the time comes, we'll have to find firewood to heat our meals."

After delivering the food to Jia Dongxu's home, Hu Mingcheng reminded Jia Dongxu, "Make sure you eat well and dress warmly!"

"Okay, I'll go buy some food later." Jia Dongxu thought, and then he would bring the backpack back and spend all the 400 yuan he had!

Planning to buy some things that are urgently needed on the grassland.

Jia Dongxu came to the tea market carrying a backpack. There were not many brick teas, only about ten yuan a piece, one pound a piece. They were quite expensive, 1.5 yuan a piece.

Buy them all. The value of these tea bricks will skyrocket after they reach the grassland.

Then I continued shopping and bought about 50 bricks of tea.

That’s enough. I can’t carry any more if I buy more!

Jia Dongxu first carried the tea bricks back home, and then ran back.

I was planning to buy some more knives, and when I got to the place that sold kitchen knives, I happened to see a batch of folding fruit knives with wooden handles.

I picked it up and took a look. The wood was polished and oiled, and the handle looked very beautiful when folded!

I picked it up again and looked at the blade, then tried shaving some hair with it. It was fine as long as it was sharp.

I looked and there were about 30 of them.

2 yuan a knife, more expensive than a kitchen knife!

It seems that it is not prepared for ordinary families, because ordinary families don’t have any fruit to eat!

At this time of year, the skins of fruits are precious. Most families will cut them with a knife and eat them with the skin and core together.

There is no need for fruit knives! I don’t know if this batch of fruit knives will be produced in the future.

But they looked good, so I bought them all.

I’ll have one for myself and one for Shazhu as well.

After counting, I found that half of the money I spent was still left!

Next, let’s go buy some food. I looked around and saw that there were no cooked noodles for sale, so I bought some flour and asked Sha Zhu to make cakes and steamed buns for me.

I went to buy some meat and asked Zhuzi to braise it tonight. It's cold now, so it can be kept.

I went to buy a few pounds of candy, peanuts, and red dates, and filled up another backpack.

After looking at the 100 yuan left in my hand, I decided not to buy it and just keep it with me for emergency.

After counting the things I bought, I felt that it was not very convenient to drink water, so I bought a thermos and a lunch box.

I looked around again and saw a small iron pot with a lid on it. It was a suitable size for boiling water or cooking, so I bought it.

OK, that's it. I thought I would need half of the car to buy things and clothes, so I couldn't help but smile. These are enough.

Jia Dongxu suddenly realized that the three cars would have to return empty. If he took one car to load live cattle and horses, he would still have two cars.

What you buy may not be enough.

Jia Dongxu thought about it, looked at the many small iron pots next to him, gritted his teeth, and bought all of them.

15!

I tied them together and carried them for a try, and it fits perfectly.

Haha, I heard there is a serious shortage of pots over there. If I’m lucky, I can exchange them for at least 15 cows!

Jia Dongxu thought happily.

However, since we and others will be traveling back and forth, we need to make food, so I have to keep one of the iron pot for myself.

Thanks to the constant travel back and forth during this period, Jia Dongxu's physical strength has gradually increased. He carried all these things back home in one go, and he could still hold the thermos and lunch box in his left hand.

By the time Jia Dongxu came home carrying a bunch of stuff, Sha Zhu had already returned home from get off work.

"Dongxu, why did you buy these things?" Sha Zhu asked hurriedly.

"Hey, Zhuzi, I'm going to the grassland in a few days." Jia Xu put his things down and took out two folding knives from his backpack.

"This knife is beautiful, let's have one each."

Jia Dongxu said as he handed one to Sha Zhu.

"Let me tell you, if you take this knife to the grassland, you can exchange it for a cow!"

Sha Zhu took the knife, which was worth a lot of money, opened it and took a look, then pouted, "This thing can't even cut vegetables, what can it do?"

But I still put it in my pocket happily.

"Hey? Why are you taking it away if you can't cut the vegetables?" Jia Xu said quickly.

"Hey, do you think I don't know? This is a fruit knife, a good thing! I'll use it to peel carrots at the factory!"

Sha Zhu laughed and said that most people couldn't use this, and they might have never heard of the name of a fruit knife.

But Shazhu had worked in Fengze Garden before, so he must have seen it.

He continued to smile and reminded Sha Zhu, "You'd better not use it at the factory, but at home. If you have money, spend it secretly at home, don't shout it outside, otherwise people will be jealous if they see it."

"Oh, okay, I understand."

Sha Zhu said thoughtfully that it seemed that he had to be more restrained in the future. Although he earned a lot of money, he really couldn't let others be jealous of him.

"Zhu Zi, come and help me make steamed buns with half of this flour and pancakes with the other half, and add more salt to the pancakes."

Then he took out the meat and said, "Please braise this piece of meat for me as well. I may not have a good place to eat during this journey. These may be my dry food."

"Okay, bring on the stew!"

"By the way, Dongxu, the house has been built. Can I move there now?" Sha Zhu thought for a while and asked.

"Why would you build a house if you don't want to move there?" Jia Dongxu said with a smile, "But I have to apologize to you first. I may not be able to make it to your wedding."

"Didn't we drink at my buddy's wedding when we picked Daya up that day?" Sha Zhu said nonchalantly.

"Uh, okay."

Jia Dongxu was speechless. It was obviously you who was the adult wine, yet you talked so high-soundingly!

"Speaking of drinking, you stood up two section chiefs of your security department yesterday." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"It's okay. We are all family. We don't care about this one. I will go and make amends to them later."

Jia Dongxu secretly groaned in his heart, how much would it cost to pay this?

The incident happened suddenly yesterday, so I went straight back to the village.

"Haha, they won't bother you. I got them drunk last night before I came back." Sha Zhu said with a smile, and then looked at the things placed in the room.

"Dongxu, you clean up the dishes first. I'll prepare the table later and we'll have a drink. I'll mix the dough now and stay up late to make the pancakes."

"Put the steamed buns next to the stove to rise. It will take a little while longer. Steam them tomorrow morning."
