Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 11 Buying Food
Li Meiling didn't know that life after marriage could be so easy, but now that she knows, she is even more glad to have followed Qin Hao.

In her opinion, she is very lucky to have a considerate man who earns money to support her family.

The next morning, Qin Hao got up at four o'clock as usual, drank a bottle of water and left.

I received 150 yuan for my work today, and with the remaining money from yesterday, there are more than 200 yuan. It will definitely be enough to buy the chicks!

Thinking that he would be able to raise chickens in the future, Qin Hao worked even harder, and he was getting more and more promising these days.

Before coming to the construction site, he bought two steamed buns from a breakfast shop in the town and ate them. He felt a little guilty because he always ate Yang Guoqing's.

But if I want to return the invitation, I don’t have any extra money, so I can only wait until the conditions are better in the future.

I heard that going out to a restaurant costs more than 100 yuan, and he only earns a meal after working exhaustingly for a day.

Qin Hao felt that money really couldn’t be spent at this time!

When I arrived at the construction site, I put on my safety helmet and went in to work.

Yang Guoqing came up with a water bottle, "Brother, when did you come? I'm waiting for you to have dinner with me."

I didn't see Qin Hao when I was at the door just now, otherwise I would have asked him to have dinner with me.A few steamed buns only cost a few yuan, and he earned dozens of yuan from sewing.

Hearing this, Qin Hao smiled and said, "I came here after eating in the morning. Brother Yang, I will work first."

"Okay!" Yang Guoqing nodded and went to hold the board next to him.

In fact, Qin Hao also wants to learn something, but the work on the construction site is all physical work. You must have an academic degree to read the drawings, and someone must take care of you for other tasks.

It's better to go back and raise chickens, be more prudent.

It wasn't until he got off work in the evening that Qin Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, there were people working overtime today, and it was considered a day's work until twelve o'clock in the evening.

He thought for a while but didn't agree.

"Brother, why don't you do this half a night's worth of money for a day?" Yang Guoqing asked tentatively.

He had already expected that Qin Hao would disagree. After all, he was young and it would be good if he could work the day shift for two days. He would not be able to endure such hardship if he stayed up late to work.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Brother Yang, I have to go back. I can't get away over there. I'll work overtime next time I have a chance."

I definitely can't say the specific situation. He has a wife waiting at home, so he won't suddenly work overtime and not come home without saying hello in advance.

Besides, I won’t be able to come tomorrow because I have to work overtime, and I can’t get up so early.So if you don’t work tonight, it will be the same if you work tomorrow.

Yang Guoqing nodded, said hello and went back to eat.

Qin Hao walked home with the money. Today he bought a bottle of juice and put it in a glass bottle. He didn't buy anything else. 260 yuan, after deducting one yuan for transportation and three yuan for drinks, there is still 250 yuan left.

He always walked there in the morning and only had to spend a dollar to come back in the evening.If he wasn't afraid that his wife would wait too late, he would have walked back at night.

There is no shortage of food at home for the time being, so let’s save money to buy chicks first.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when I got home, and this time Li Meiling really liked the taste of juice.

As for why Qin Hao didn't bring anything back, she didn't ask a word.

I worked like this for another four days in a row. When I got off work, Yang Guoqing said I would take the next day off to get materials and start again the day after tomorrow.

Qin Hao agreed immediately. His wages in the past few days were enough to buy chickens, and he could also buy some feed.

Before, he had 250 yuan left, four days' salary of 600 yuan, excluding transportation expenses of 640 yuan, steamed buns of [-] yuan every morning, and [-] yuan.

Qin Hao hasn't bought anything during this period. The food consumption at home is almost the same. He has to buy a bag of noodles when he goes home today.

When he came to the grain store, he pointed to the flour and asked: "Boss, how much does a bag of white flour cost?" The bags here generally come in fifty kilograms, and small bags are not very cost-effective, and they are also expensive by the kilogram.

"This kind of one hundred and fifty, there are also the ones that are one hundred and three hundred and fourteen." The boss glanced at the person opposite.

His body was dirty and he looked like he was doing manual labor, but he looked quite young.

No matter what age you are in the Northeast, people will not look down on you for your low education level or whether you are well-dressed, but more concerned about whether you are a down-to-earth person.

It is rare for young people to endure such hardships. Anyway, the boss has never seen such young people.

"Let's get one hundred and three." Qin Hao hesitated for a while and felt that they were all the same.

Judging from the production date, they are all fresh, so they should not be stale noodles.

"I'll give you 120." The boss said generously: "Seeing that your conditions are not very good, come to me to buy food in the future. I will definitely give you a cheaper price."

Qin Hao was stunned by this sudden price reduction, but it is certainly a good thing to be cheap. "Thank you very much, boss. I will definitely come back next time!"

I'll buy some rice or something in a few days, but I can't keep eating white flour.

The boss nodded with a smile, helped him move it down, and asked, "Where to put it?"

People who come here to buy food come on electric bikes. After all, no one can carry fifty pounds home. It would be fatal, and the white flour will be scraped everywhere.

"Put it on my shoulder!" Qin Hao walked over quickly, then hunched over and waited.

"You just carry it back like this?" The boss was a little surprised.

"Yes, put it up, I have to rush home." Qin Hao disagreed and still waited.

Seeing this, the boss stopped talking nonsense, helped him move up, and watched the young man leave.

Looking at the money in his hand, the boss felt uncomfortable. This young man was not pretentious at all.Look at his son who is in college. He knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day. It is better for the children of the poor to take charge of the family early!
Qin Hao naturally didn't know what the other party was thinking. He just wanted to leave before it got dark. If it was too late, he would lose sight of the road.

It usually only takes an hour to walk alone. Now carrying a bag of noodles, he obviously feels that his walking is much slower.

After leaving the town, Qin Hao stopped by the roadside, took out the cloth bag he had prepared long ago, and poured the noodles into it.

You can't take this packaging bag back. Not to mention the production date, the name is also wrong.

White noodles are already very suspicious, so don’t leave the packaging alone!

The noodles in the 80s are not so white. This is the best among fine grains.Most people can't buy such good noodles, so he doesn't dare to buy more, so he eats them secretly at home.

Just as he was changing his bag and preparing to continue walking, an electric tricycle stopped next to him.

"Where are you going, young man?" The driver was an old man who was smiling and had no front teeth.

"Uncle, I'm going to the grain station in front." After Qin Hao answered, he stood still.

He guessed that the other party wanted to give him a ride, and if he came along, he might be able to get a ride.

"I'm on my way, I'm going to Lijiapuzi." The old man waved his hand and motioned for him to get in the car.

Qin Hao suddenly smiled, this was so lucky, "Thank you, uncle."

"Why are you thanking me? We're all from the same town, and I'm just helping you along. I can't pull you along if you don't go along the way." The uncle smiled nonchalantly.

Northeastern people are very enthusiastic. If you bring a lot of things, people passing by will ask you where you are going.

I will take you along the way; if not, I will take you to a nearby place.
