Chapter 109 Purchasing Supplies
The two fuel tanks were filled up, and the bill was settled on the spot. Lu Xiaolu and Xue Li saw off the young man who drove the fuel tanker, and rode a tricycle to the farmers' wholesale market.

Compared with supermarkets, the products in the farmer's wholesale market are about half cheaper, so it's still a good deal to buy here.

"Boss, how did you sell this chicken?"

"Seven dollars and five."

"Six dollars and five."

"It can't be sold, young man. My chicken is a serious black-legged chicken. Hey, don't go, seven yuan, six five yuan, six yuan and five yuan! Seeing how young you are, how can you bargain so well?"

"Okay, you chop it up for me."

Lu Xiaolu bargained with the stall owner at the front, and Xue Li took the bag and paid the bill, with a clear division of labor.

Vegetables, meat and eggs, poultry, melons and fruits, rice, etc. There are too many things, so we can only buy them in batches.

Put it on the tricycle first, and Xueli will watch it here, and Lu Xiaolu will go in to buy it.

Shirley made a list of things to buy the day before, and crossed out one item if she bought one.

After Lu Xiaolu brought back the things again, Xue Li tilted her head and counted, biting her pencil and said, "emmm, little donkey Oppa, I've bought everything, just go get two barrels of mineral water. "

Lu Xiaolu wiped the sweat off his brow and nodded, "Let's go, get in the car."

It's not that the two of them are hypocritical, it's just that it's inconvenient to bring boiling water from home every day, and they accidentally kicked the thermos bottle, which almost scalded Shirley last time.

In addition, when tug-of-war with tuna, the boiled water must be poured out to cool down in advance every time. Sometimes it is too late and the water is too hot to drink.

So Lu Xiaolu went to the store and spent 60 yuan to buy two mineral water buckets.

There is a community direct drinking water station where I live, and a bucket can be filled for two yuan.

One bucket is used for drinking, and the other bucket is used for washing. Of course, bathing is unnecessary. Although there are toilets on board, there is no fresh water converter, and seawater is used to flush the toilets.

After sending all the supplies onto the ship, they checked the condition of the ship again, and after confirming that there was no problem, the two returned home together.

In the yard, the old lady, Xiao Xiao and Hua'er are picking vegetables together.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Xiao Xiao quickly put down the vegetables and ran up: "Sister Xue Li, you are here, we are preparing to cook for you."

"Thank you, little sister Xiaoxiao, guess what my sister brought you?" Shirley smiled and put her hands behind her.

"Planet Cup!"

"Smart, hee hee."

Xueli and Xiaoxiao were playing together, and Lu Xiaolu stepped forward: "Old lady, didn't I say no, it's too much trouble for you."

After returning yesterday, Lu Xiaolu told them about his going to the competition, and he only came back once a week, so they don't need to worry.

After hearing this, the old lady insisted that they come back for a meal today.

"Hehe, little donkey, go and cut up the meat. I want to buy meat today, but Hua'er insists on her to buy it. I'm in a hurry to snatch it from her."

"Oh, old lady, what are you talking about!" Hua'er put on a serious face.

"Hehe, look, the girl is in a hurry again."

"Um, thank you Hua'er, then, I'm going to chop vegetables."

He bought everything, and Lu Xiaolu couldn't say anything, he knew Hua'er's temper, it's not good to get angry when he was cooking happily.

Last time Li Wei and Mai Xiang lost a lot of money to Hua'er, and this was due to Lu Xiaolu's efforts. It's nothing to buy some meat. Qiu Wei couldn't say anything after knowing it.

Sure enough, after a while Qiu Wei came back from get off work, walked into the kitchen, and saw Lu Xiaolu who was cutting meat and was about to pick up boiled noodles.

Lu Xiaolu hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Qiu, stop cooking and eat together today."

"That won't work, I can't take advantage of you for nothing."

Well, Brother Qiu is still very stubborn, so Lu Xiaolu can only tell the truth: "No, today's meat is all bought by flowers."

"What!" Qiu Wei was taken aback, and unconsciously raised his voice eight degrees.

"Brother Qiu, don't get excited, it's like this"

Lu Xiaolu was afraid that he would quarrel and make Hua'er unattractive, so she said that Hua'er bought meat to see him off because he was going to sea.

Then he took out 100 yuan from his wallet and stuffed it into Qiu Wei's hand: "Brother Qiu, I know you two have a difficult life, so don't be angry if I give you this money."

"It's not appropriate."

"Dad, brother donkey, what are you doing?"

Qiu Wei trembled as he wanted to take the money, but in the end he didn't ask for Lu Xiaolu's money because Hua'er heard the noise and came in.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm cooking, haha."

"That's fine, Dad, don't cook by yourself today, let's eat together."

"Okay okay."

"."

Hua'er bought a lot of meat today, including pork, chicken, carp, and some beef, which cost more than 100 yuan.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Qiu Wei felt very distressed. This prodigal son really doesn't feel distressed when spending money. It seems that he can't give her so much pocket money anymore.

Last time, Li Wei and Mai Xiang lost a total of 5 yuan, and Qiu Wei gave 200 yuan to Hua'er, thinking that her daughter would be old enough to use the money.

Who knew that this girl had been useless all this time, but she ran out of grocery shopping today.

This is all done, and if you don't eat for nothing, Qiu Wei turns his grief and anger into motivation, and eats wildly with his cheeks off.

Fortunately, he bought a lot of flowers, otherwise more than half of them would have entered his stomach, making him hum.

As his daughter, can Hua'er not know what he thinks?Angry little face flushed.

It was still early, Lu Xiaolu sent Xue Li back, and made an appointment to pick her up from school tomorrow before coming back.

The old lady and the others were enjoying the shade in the courtyard, Xiao Xiao was sitting on the ground playing with the civet cat, the others were chatting with melon seeds, Lu Xiaolu found a stool and sat down, and joined in.

Qiu Wei also finished eating at this time, and passed a cigarette to Lu Xiaolu: "Little donkey, you are fishing at sea every day, how much money can you earn a day? Is it enough for living expenses after the tuition fee is removed?"

Lu Xiaolu took the cigarette and pondered for a while: "I haven't calculated the specifics. After removing the oil and so on, Xueli and Xueli are half of each other. They can earn seven or eight thousand a time when they go to sea."

Qiu Wei stared and coughed from the smoke: "Ahem! What! Seven or eight thousand! Is it true?"

The old lady and Hua'er were also a little shocked, but they only knew that Lu Xiaolu was fishing, but they had never heard of how much money he made.

"Well, I was lucky last time. I sold it for more than 2 yuan. After deducting the cost, Shirley and I both lost about 1 yuan."

"Dear me, do you earn money by fishing?" Qiu Wei almost fell off the stool.

Lu Xiaolu doesn't seem like a liar, so let's put it this way.
"Little donkey, do you still need people on board? I'll do it with you! The salary doesn't need to be too much, just give me [-]%." Qiu Wei looked at Lu Xiaolu eagerly.

"Dad, what are you doing!" Hua'er didn't expect his father to be so greedy, he only opened his mouth [-]% of the time, isn't this embarrassing little donkey brother?
The old lady also looked unhappy, this person surnamed Qiu doesn't look like a good person, how did he teach Hua'er to be such a sensible girl.
