Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 21 Milk Powder
the next morning.

Qin Hao asked Li Meiling to take care of the chicks, and then started working on the construction site.

Now that he has chickens at home, he will be able to make money in the future. This way, even if he cannot come to the modern age, he will not have to worry about food and drink.

The shirts he bought at the market have not yet been sold. Qin Hao thought that he would work for two more days and then take leave to sell them.

Otherwise, it would be really uncomfortable to have no money on hand. After I came back from the market last time, I only had more than 20 yuan left.

I also need to buy some milk powder for Li Meiling to replenish her health. How can this little money be enough?
When he arrived at the construction site, Qin Hao ate five steamed buns with vegetarian fillings and drank four bowls of porridge.Steamed buns cost one yuan each, and porridge costs two yuan to drink as you like.

Anyway, after eating these, I feel very full.

Yang Guoqing saw him coming and chatted for a few words, "There is no need to come tomorrow. Building materials will be purchased at the construction site these two days, and I will come back to work the day after tomorrow."

At present, their work is progressing very quickly, and building materials are coming in almost once a week.

Qin Hao was a little disappointed. After all, 150 yuan a day was a lot. If he had to work for two days less, that would be 300 yuan.

"Okay, Brother Yang, I'll go up first." He nodded, then put on his helmet and went to work.

Now that he is used to high-intensity work, Qin Hao is not as tired as before, but feels that he can bear it.

The sun has been shining brightly recently, and he has tanned a lot, and his arms have become skinny.

Li Meiling would apply aloe vera on him every night, and the two pots of aloe vera cultivated at home were almost bald.

Qin Hao rolled up his sleeves and worked harder. At noon, he worked hard for three small bowls of food.

"The food today is really good, including braised fish and stewed chicken." Yang Guoqing sighed while eating.

The reason why he doesn't usually eat here is because there is no meat dish. There is a meat dish every morning, and he eats it in the cafeteria.

"Are you full?" He turned to look at Qin Hao. The man replenished his meal twice and finally stopped.

Qin Hao smiled and nodded, "I'm full, I've eaten a lot."

It's rare to eat so well, he must eat more.It's just a pity that I can't pack it back.

In fact, the food on the construction site is almost enough, and there is rarely any leftover.The aunt in the kitchen can't waste food. Basically, it depends on the number of people and the cooking is about the same.

Sometimes the boss will come to inspect and you will be fined for throwing things away.

"You're really good at eating, you eat so much in one meal!" Yang Guoqing took a sip of beer and couldn't help but sigh: "I could eat when I was your age, and I could eat sixteen big buns in one meal! It’s impossible now, I can’t even eat six of them.”

There is nothing that a young man cannot eat. In the past, his conditions were average, but now he can eat two meals of meat despite his poor conditions, so his appetite is not as strong as before.

"You guys live a good life and can eat meat every day, but our family can't." Qin Hao sighed casually.

Upon hearing this, Yang Guoqing became silent. Is this child's family condition so poor?A pound of pork only costs [-] or [-] yuan. When it is expensive, it costs [-] to [-] yuan. Why can’t you afford it?
Their town is not as good as big cities, the consumption of food and meat is not high, and there are too few people who cannot afford meat.

"Brother, do you have a phone number? Give me your number." Yang Guoqing remembered that he had never left the other party's phone number.

Hearing this, Qin Hao didn't know how to answer, "Brother Yang, I don't have a phone."

He passed by a store in the town before and saw that a mobile phone was advertised to cost eight to nine thousand, and the cheapest one cost seven to eight hundred.

He is working so hard to do this, so he might as well buy some nutritional supplements for his wife.Besides, the child will also need to drink milk powder in the future, so he is reluctant to spend money to buy a phone.

"Not even a phone call?" Yang Guoqing was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He sighed with confusion in his eyes.

Then he said: "I eliminated a phone before, it is an elderly phone, do you want it?" "No, Brother Yang, thank you." Qin Hao quickly refused: "I can't afford the phone bill. I make money to support my family. , you can’t spend it carelessly.”

In my previous life, I heard that the phone charges for connecting to the Internet were several thousand yuan higher!He has so much money, it's impossible to buy it.

Seeing what he said, Yang Guoqing stopped insisting and continued eating.

Qin Hao wanted to take a rest after eating, so he went back to rest under the sun.

One good thing about this building is that there is air leakage from all directions, it is not hot at all and it is quite cool.

I don’t know why people nowadays love to live in buildings, with one family on top of another. How can you live as comfortably as in a small courtyard in a rural area?
After working all afternoon, Qin Hao received his wages, made sure to come back to work the day after tomorrow, and went home.

When passing through town, go to Dasheng Supermarket.He was dressed a little dirty and no one asked him to go out or laughed at him after entering.

Instead, after walking around in a circle, the waiter came over and asked him what he wanted to buy, and she could help find it.

"I want to buy milk powder for pregnant women to supplement nutrition. Is this available?"

Hearing this, the waiter nodded, "Yes, what price do you want? There are dozens of dollars and hundreds of dollars. Are you buying it for your wife?"

"Well, let me take a look first." Qin Hao responded, wondering why this adult milk powder is still so expensive?
I saw milk powder on the shelves, ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan, and across the street, infant milk powder sold for thousands of yuan.

Only now did Qin Hao realize how simple he had thought before. How could this be bought with one day's wages? He couldn't even afford a can of high-end baby milk powder after working for a week!

The waiter looked at his appearance and knew that his family conditions were not good. He thought about it and suggested: "This soy milk powder is not bad. It has all kinds of nutrients. It can be drunk by adults and the elderly."

Qin Hao turned around and saw that a bag of soy milk powder cost 22 yuan. Compared with milk powder that costs hundreds or even thousands of yuan, it was indeed very cheap.

He directly took a can of milk powder for pregnant women, which cost 140 yuan.

"I want this."

He wants to give his wife the best within the limits of his ability.

After he made his choice, the waiter asked him to go to the front desk to pay.

At the same time, I was thinking to myself, this guy is really good, he doesn’t make much money doing manual labor, but he is still willing to support his wife.

There are two yuan left of 150 yuan, but there are still more than ten yuan left. He spent eight yuan on the steamed buns this morning.

After picking up the things and going out, Qin Hao threw away the carton packaging, which was sealed in a transparent plastic bag.

You definitely won't take that kind of stuff home, so that's fine.He also remembered the above usage method, making one cup with two spoons a day and drinking it twice a day.

It's not dark yet when I get home. Summer is here, and it's getting dark too late in the Northeast.

It usually doesn't get dark until 07:30, but now it's just [-]:[-].

"Back!" Li Meiling got up and took a look when she heard the noise. She saw someone had come in before she even went out.

"Yes." Qin Hao nodded, looking at her rosy face, all the fatigue disappeared.

"This is the milk powder I bought for you." He handed the milk powder over and told her how to use it and how much to drink in a day.

Li Meiling frowned slightly, "This is quite expensive, isn't it? Keep it for your children."

As long as anything related to nutritional supplements, it would definitely not be cheap, especially milk powder. She had never thought that she could drink such precious things. It was so luxurious!
