Chapter 563 Gratitude
Wen Xi raised the corners of his lips slightly. If Lin Yiwan hadn't provided it to him, even if he really went to the South, he wouldn't be able to bring back so many fresh vegetables, because the South is far from reaching such a high level now.
"How much do these vegetables cost per pound?" Wen Xi asked curiously.
"One dollar a pound, all one dollar a pound, don't miss it if you pass by. Fresh vegetables shipped from the south are only one dollar a pound..." the stall owner shouted.
One yuan per pound, this price is quite expensive for ordinary people, but it is quite cost-effective for Wenxi. After all, it is winter now, and it is impossible to buy summer vegetables.
There were five large backpacks in front of the stall owner, each containing a different vegetable, namely cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers, cowpeas, and broccoli.
"Give me ten kilograms of each." Wen Xi said generously.
Buy a few different kinds of vegetables so that you can mix your own vegetables in and eat them.
Seeing that she was a big customer, the stall owner did not dare to neglect her, so he quickly picked up the scale to weigh Wen Xi. Fifty kilograms meant fifty yuan, so Wen Xi directly took out fifty yuan and handed it over.
"Wenxi, let me get some for you!" Wang Xinru only bought two kilograms of each vegetable, weighing only ten kilograms in total, and there was still plenty of space in the backpack!
Wen Xi divided two kinds of vegetables and put them in Wang Xinru's backpack, and then the two of them continued to walk forward. After walking a few stalls, they met another person selling fresh vegetables.
This person was selling water spinach, amaranth, loofah, bitter gourd, and eggplant. It seemed that Lin Yiwan was treating everyone equally, providing five dishes for everyone.
Wen Xi also ordered ten kilograms of each item, but she could no longer fit them all in, so she had to ask the stall owner to weigh them and put them aside. She gave a deposit first and would pay the balance when she left.
Later, I saw stalls selling fruits. Each stall had a different kind of fruit. The fresh fruits were spread on burlap bags, which looked very tempting. The air near the fruit stalls was filled with a strong fruity aroma.
Wenxi bought five kilograms each of grapes, peaches, apples, pears, bananas, and dragon fruit, and did not buy the rest.
After everyone bought their things, they gradually dispersed. The number of people in the market gradually decreased. Wen Xi took the things he bought to the gathering place, and then went to the stall owner to take back the remaining things.
She went to the market today and spent nearly three hundred yuan. After all, she is rich and doesn't care about this little money at all.
There were so many things that even if one person carried some, it would be impossible to carry them all back, not to mention that everyone had bought a lot of things. So Wenxi rented a ox cart from the nearest brigade and asked them to help deliver the things. Naturally, he could earn some extra money, so the other party agreed.
When they got home, everyone helped move Wenxi's things into the house, and then left.
Wen Xi saw that Wang Xinru was alone and had a mediocre relationship with the other two female comrades at the educated youth site, so he invited her, "Wang Xinru, come over for New Year's Eve dinner at noon on New Year's Eve."
Qin Mi got off work in the afternoon, so they saved their New Year’s Eve dinner for the evening.
Wang Xinru was very excited and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, then I'll come over earlier to help you."
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were also packing their things in the room. Seeing that no one cared about her, Wen Xi moved all the things she bought today to her room.
Anyway, no one knows what she bought, so she can take some things out of the system warehouse and mix them together.
So Wenxi took out some rice candies, glutinous rice strips, White Rabbit milk candies, melon seeds, peanuts and some nuts, as well as two each of the processed chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, five pounds each of mutton, lamb ribs, beef and beef ribs, and even a basket of toon sprouts. In this way, all the New Year's goods needed during the Chinese New Year were prepared.
In the evening, Wenxi made fresh stir-fried meat with green pepper, scrambled eggs with cucumber, loofah and minced meat soup, and broccoli in soup.
When Qin Mi came back, he was shocked to see the floor of Wen Xi's room filled with fresh ingredients. "Xi, where do you get so many fresh ingredients in this season?"
Although he rarely has time to grow vegetables, he still knows what is available in each season. At least cucumbers and tomatoes can only be eaten in early summer, right?
"I bought it at the market today. The man said it was shipped from the south. That should be the case, because there is no winter in the south, and you can still grow all kinds of vegetables even in winter." With this market and Lin Yiwan's arrangements, Wen Xi can also take out the things in his warehouse.
Lin Yiwan probably did this this time in order to bring food home in a legitimate way, otherwise it would be quite troublesome to explain it again and again.
Moreover, her sister-in-law is pregnant, which is a time when she needs nutrition. It is not good for her to eat radishes and cabbages every day as it is an unbalanced nutrition.
Now when Lin Yiwan takes out fruits and vegetables, she can just say that she bought them at the market. After all, many people bought fresh vegetables today. Although they are not cheap, everyone got a few more dollars this year, and the whole family would have dozens of dollars, so she naturally has enough money to buy some fresh vegetables.
And there are so many delicious fruits in the market, how can the child not clamor for food? And can the grandparents and parents really bear to hear the child crying all the way?
In order to shut up the children, I would buy a symbolic amount.
"There are a lot of good things in the market. I plan to go take a look tomorrow. Brother Qin, is there anything you want to eat?" Wen Xi asked.
Qin Mi reached out and rubbed Wen Xi's hair. "Xi, just buy what you want to eat, don't worry about me. But there are a lot of people in the market, you must be careful and pay attention to safety."
"Brother Qin, don't worry, I know." She had a sign-in system, so even if something unexpected happened, she wouldn't die. "Brother Qin, go eat!"
After Qin Mi went to the kitchen, Wen Xi lay down to rest. The winter night was really cold, so she didn't accompany Qin Mi for supper.
The next day, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue did not go to the market, so Wenxi went alone. It was a good thing that they did not go, because this way Wenxi could cheat and she would not have to carry such heavy things back.
In fact, Wenxi didn’t have anything to buy. She went out just to find a suitable reason to take out the things in the warehouse!
Wenxi walked around the market and bought five kilograms of fried dough twists. After leaving the market, he took out two portions of malted milk and milk powder, some seasonings, and then fished out twenty kilograms of large river shrimps from the river shrimp breeding pond, two fifty-kilogram herrings, and ten large crucian carps as long as chopsticks.
It’s Chinese New Year, and we can’t celebrate without fish, otherwise how can we have fish every time?
However, Wenxi did not carry such heavy things home. He just packed them up and put them in a corner of the warehouse.
