Passing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to one side, he patted it on the table, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to buy it, I'll make a list, and you can buy according to the above."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to pick up a pen to write, but was stopped by Liu Xiang, who calmly took the pen from Ji Xiuran's hand, and said, "It's unnecessary, we still know what to buy, so don't worry about Xiuran, Here we go."

After speaking, he picked up one of the piles of copper plates, put them in his purse, looked up at Wang Shuo who was on the side, and asked, "Brother Wang, would you like to accompany me?"

Wang Shuo glanced at him and nodded calmly. Liu Xiang waited for an affirmative answer, then looked at the others, and said, "I'm in charge of buying meat with Brother Wang, let's go first." After speaking, he walked out with Wang Shuo .

Seeing Liu Xiang's decisiveness, Li Wen and Lu Yunze also picked up another pile of copper coins, put them in their purse, and said helplessly, "Then I will go shopping with brother Wen."

After speaking, he dragged Li Wen out, but Li Wen still looked dazed when he was dragged by this man, not knowing why he became like this.

Ji Xiuran saw the actions of the few people, nodded in satisfaction, and said, they are all children from poor families, how can they be so delicate, and they can't even buy vegetables.

Then he picked up the remaining part of the money, put it in the bag, raised his head and said to Shi Jingchen with a smile: "Third brother, let's go too."

Shi Jingchen looked at the series of accidents, took a deep look at this person, then nodded expressionlessly, followed this person out of the yard.

Ji Xiuran walked forward with an excited face, thinking about the money bag in his hand, listening to the jingle of bells coming from inside, he narrowed his eyes with a smile.

Suddenly being pulled by the collar by Shi Jingchen behind him, he turned his head to look at this person strangely.

A hint of helplessness appeared in Shi Jingchen's eyes, he pointed in another direction, and said, "It's the wrong way."

Only then did Ji Xiuran touch his nose, pretending to be calm, he turned around and walked in another direction, his expression became serious, his hands stopped moving, and he walked obediently.

But after a while, he couldn't help asking: "Third Brother, where are we going?"

Shi Jingchen turned his head and glanced at him, then said calmly, "Go to the grocery store."

Ji Xiuran had never seen a grocery store in this world, so he couldn't help being curious, and asked, "What do grocery stores sell?"

Shi Jingchen pursed his lips before replying, "You'll know when you go."

Ji Xiuran still did not give up and continued to ask: "Can we buy all the seasonings we want to buy from there?"

Shi Jingchen resisted the desire to curse, and said patiently, "Eat and use, most of them are for sale."

Ji Xiuran nodded, and said clearly: "The oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are all for sale."

Shi Jingchen glanced at him strangely, and then said: "I need to buy oil from an oil workshop, and I need to buy salt from a salt shop run by the government."

Hearing this, Ji Xiuran felt a "thud" in his heart, knowing that he was about to show his feet again, so he carefully glanced at Shi Jingchen, and found that there was nothing wrong with his expression, so he was relieved.

The rest of the way was a lot quieter.

Six people are divided into three groups to purchase.

The speed is much faster.

Ji Xiuran looked at the things he bought back, the condiments he and Shi Jingchen bought, while Li Wen and Lu Yunze bought a lot of vegetables, including potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, cabbage and green leafy vegetables.

The other two even bought some meat and even some spare ribs.

After thinking about it, he decided to eat shabu-shabu.

In this way, everyone can do it, and there is no need to bother Shi Jingchen too much.

He talked to everyone, and none of them dared to have any further opinions, so Ji Xiuran obediently did whatever he asked him to do.

Ji Xiuran was not too polite, and handed over to a few people for washing and chopping vegetables.

He himself grabbed Shi Jingchen to help cook the bottom material.

Of course it was he who spoke, and Shi Jingchen did it.

A pot of spicy flavor, a pot of clear soup, the aroma soon wafted out.

The seductive aroma had long attracted the people who were preparing the dishes in the yard, and couldn't help it, and kept their heads in the kitchen frequently.

They didn't have a special stove for eating hot pot here, and they finally sat down and started eating after a few people worked together to temporarily build a mud stove in the yard.

Lu Yunze and the others still felt that it was inappropriate to eat like this, and they couldn't let go of their awkwardness.

But when Shi Jingchen lifted the lid of the spicy pot, and the strong aroma came out, the few people didn't care about other things, sat down nervously, stretched out the chopsticks by themselves, picked up the cooked dishes and ate them.

Ji Xiuran's body is not suitable for spicy hot pot, so Shi Jingchen stared at him and only gave him clear soup pot.

But he is very greedy for spicy pot, but under Shi Jingchen's high pressure, he can only look at the other people helplessly, stuttering while being sucked by the spicy shasha.

On the other hand, I can only eat light side dishes in the clear soup pot, and my heart is very hurt. If I had known that he would not have suggested any hot pot, it would be self-inflicted.

Shi Jingchen looked at Ji Xiuran's resentful eyes, although his face was cold and hard, he still got up and brought a bowl of water, put it beside him, let him rinse the spicy oil before eating.

Ji Xiuran silently looked at the bowl of water in front of him, feeling even sadder in his heart, only children would be treated like this, okay?

But he was content with some spicy taste, so he ate a big bowl of vegetables while feeling disgusted in his heart.

Chapter 5 (Revised)

After Ji Xiuran and the others finished the meal, they started to busy themselves with their own affairs. Many people invited them,

Ji Xiuran didn't accept anyone's invitations. Although he had recovered physically, he still couldn't get tired, so he declined all these invitations.

But the other four are busy attending various parties and making friends with various people.

Although their rankings are not very high, but because they usually study together, and passed the exam together this time, they became famous all of a sudden, and more people invited them.

Although Ji Xiuran didn't accept other people's invitations, he couldn't refuse the banquet held by the magistrate.

Fortunately, all five of them have received invitations, so they can be regarded as companions.

Shi Jingchen couldn't take care of him by his side, so he entrusted Ji Xiuran to Lu Yunze and the others, and said with a serious expression: "Xiuran is just recovering from a serious illness, so he can't drink alcohol, and can't eat heavy oil and salt. Brother Lu and others should take care of him."

After hearing this, Lu Yunze nodded in response, and said, "Don't worry, Third Brother Shi, we'll save it."

After speaking, he took everyone to the banquet venue.

Hearing that everyone took care of him like a child, Ji Xiuran muttered with some dissatisfaction: "I'm not a child, I can take care of myself, third brother just likes to worry about it."

Shi Jingchen's hearing is good, so he heard his whisper, turned his eyes and gave him a slight glare, Ji Xiuran just shut up and walked in obediently.

After several people entered the arena, they found their seats according to their rankings, and Ji Xiuran naturally separated from everyone.

But he wasn't nervous, he ate the snacks in front of him casually, and looked at the strange faces around him.

When the county magistrate arrived, he followed the people around him and stood up to salute.

Then when he sat down, he just ate the side dishes in front of him without any intention of getting up and socializing with the people around him.

Fortunately, the county magistrate only drank a glass of wine with each of the top ten people at the beginning, and then focused on the first and second, No.3.

Others didn't pay much attention, which was convenient for Ji Xiuran, he enjoyed the food in front of him completely peacefully.

Occasionally, one or two came over to socialize with him, but he dismissed them casually.

After a while, no one came to look for him, and he was happy and relaxed.

Sitting in his own seat, looking around at everyone's actions, he also enjoyed himself a lot.

The four of Lu Yunze were in the same rank, but they sat close to each other, and they soon sat together, and quickly became one with the students around them.

When Ji Xiuran looked over, he saw that they were at ease among the crowd, so he didn't think of going to disturb them.

Still sitting in his seat, eating and drinking tea.

This county magistrate hosted a banquet, and the dishes were all good dishes, and the tea was also good tea, it would be a loss not to eat and drink enough.

Ji Xiuran stayed contentedly until the end of the banquet. At this time, everyone was a little bit drunk, but Ji Xiuran bid farewell to the county magistrate and went home as if nothing had happened.

Although the four of Lu Yunze also drank some, they were still sober, at least they could walk in a straight line when walking.

When Ji Xiuran came out, he saw them waiting for him at the door, so he went up to meet them and went home together.

When he walked out of the gate of the banquet venue, Ji Xiuran looked up and saw Shi Jingchen who was waiting there, and immediately walked over with a smile on his face.

Shi Jingchen looked at his smile, his eyes deepened, and he regained his composure. He sized him up carefully, and seeing that he was not drunk, he nodded appreciatively, and said, "This time I am obedient."

Ji Xiuran came over and happened to hear his words, raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and said, "That's natural, a gentleman just said it."

Seeing his appearance, Shi Jingchen also had a slight smile in his eyes, but he didn't want to make him so proud, so he said, "It's best to keep it up in the future."

Hearing his words, Ji Xiuran curled his lips in dissatisfaction, but he didn't refute, and replied casually: "Yes, what third brother said is correct."

Not long after returning, Ji Xiuran went through the formalities and received the rice and money.

Although these granary rice is old rice, it is still edible, not to mention that it is polished rice, which is better than the brown rice with rice bran at home.

Although four liang of silver is not too much, it is not too little. It is enough for him to buy things for his family.

Ji Xiuran walked beside Shi Jingchen, holding the four pieces
