Chapter 340 Real World (5)
Ji Xiao looked at him and said, "You're welcome. Let's go into the supermarket quickly. The sun is brighter today than yesterday." As she spoke, Ji Xiao walked quickly towards the entrance of the supermarket, and Fu Shiqi followed closely behind.
When they walked into the supermarket, a cool breeze hit them in the face, and they both shivered. Fu Shiqi pushed the cart and followed Ji Xiao towards the fruit and vegetable section.
"Take whatever you want to eat. We'll go to the market to buy beef and mutton later. I don't know if they're still available now." Ji Xiao looked back at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Okay." Fu Shiqi smiled and nodded in response.
Then, he followed Ji Xiao's footsteps to the aquatic area and saw some shrimps. Ji Xiao reached out and touched the shells of the shrimps and found that they were no longer so fresh.
She frowned and said, "These shrimps don't look very fresh. Let's forget it."
Finally, they came to the vegetable area. Ji Xiao carefully selected several vegetables suitable for barbecue, including eggplant, green pepper, corn, etc. She also took a few more eggplants and said to Fu Shiqi with a smile: "My family especially likes to eat grilled eggplant with chili and garlic. I have to prepare more. You can also take more of what you like."
"OK, all right."
In addition to vegetables, Ji Xiao did not buy any other meat, but went straight to the snack area and selected several snacks. Fu Shiqi also selected a few snacks of his favorite.
"Okay, we have almost bought everything. Let's go look at some daily necessities." Ji Xiao smiled happily, turned to look at Fu Shiqi, and said gently.
Then, Fu Shiqi pushed the cart obediently and followed Ji Xiao, and the two walked towards the living area together.
After entering the living area, Ji Xiao first took several bags of facial tissues and toilet paper that she often used, then took two bags of wet wipes, and also picked out several different types of toothpaste, toothbrushes and other daily necessities.
Fu Shiqi couldn't help laughing as she watched Ji Xiao choosing.
Finally, Ji Xiao looked at the shopping cart full of items with satisfaction, and said to Fu Shiqi, "Okay, let's go. I'll call Xiao Rui and ask them to pull the cart over."
Fu Shiqi nodded in agreement, then pushed the shopping cart towards the checkout counter.
While waiting to check out, Ji Xiao received a call from Xiao Rui. She picked up the phone and heard Xiao Rui say, "Sister, I'm at the door. Which checkout counter are you at?"
Ji Xiao told him: "It's right here at the main entrance. You can see me when you come in."
Not long after, Xiao Rui and Xiao Ze walked into the supermarket with a cart. As Xiao Rui walked, he said to Ji Xiao, "There are a lot of things, so I asked my brother to come over to help."
Soon, Xiaorui and Xiaoze began to help Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi move things and put the purchased items into shopping bags.
Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi watched the two brothers carry the shopping bags into the car and put them away. Then Ji Xiao asked, "Xiao Rui, have you bought snacks? We still need to go to the vegetable market to buy some beef and mutton later."
"Hey, I bought it." Xiao Rui replied with a silly smile.
"Okay, then do you have enough money?"
"And if it's not enough, I'll ask you for more."
"Ah."
Then Ji Xiao drove the three of them to the vegetable market. They walked into the market, which was filled with all kinds of sounds and the smell of life.
Before they found the stall selling beef and mutton, they saw several other stalls selling beef and mutton, and the quality looked good.
Ji Xiao walked up to the stall owner and said, "Boss, how much are you selling this beef and mutton for?"
"Forty-one pounds of beef and thirty-one pounds of mutton," the boss replied.
Ji Xiao frowned: "Can it be cheaper? We bought a lot."
The boss hesitated for a moment and said, "At most I'll give you two dollars less per pound." He seemed reluctant to give in.
"Boss, let's do this, five dollars less. I want all your beef shanks, including the shoulder, tenderloin, and ribs. And then I want half a kid's goat, but without the head. The mutton doesn't need to be separated. I want both the cow's trotter and the goat's trotter, as well as the cow scorpion and the goat scorpion." Ji Xiao said, looking at the meat stall.
"Okay, then you wait a moment." Seeing that Ji Xiao wanted a lot, the boss didn't bargain, so the boss quickly cut the meat, weighed it, and put it into the bag.
After paying, Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi put the meat into the cart, then went to buy two live grass carps and more than ten pounds of pork belly. Then they pulled the fully loaded cart to the car, called Xiaorui and Xiaoze to get off, and put everything into the car together.
"Sister, this is too much! Can we finish it?" Xiao Rui asked in surprise.
"If you can't finish it, you can put it in the refrigerator. We have two refrigerators," Ji Xiao replied.
"Okay, it just so happens that the refrigerator at home is empty. Dad and Uncle San haven't filled it up yet." Xiao Rui nodded.
"Okay, let's all get in the car." Ji Xiao said, opening the door and getting in first.
Fu Shiqi and his two younger brothers followed closely and got into the car.
It can only be said that Ji Xiao had the foresight to buy a big car, otherwise she would not be able to pull all the things she bought today back at once. Some of the things she bought from the supermarket were still on the floor of the back seat.
After getting in the car, Ji Xiao took out her phone to check the time, and said to Xiao Rui in the back seat: "Rui Rui, call and ask when your second sister will get off work, and we will pick her up."
"Okay, big sister." Xiao Rui called the second sister, "Second sister, when are you going to get off work? We'll come and pick you up."
The second sister replied that she would be off work soon.
Ji Xiao started the car and drove to the hospital where Ji Qiqi worked.
After a while, I saw her standing on the roadside in front of the hospital waiting.
"Sister, what delicious food did you buy?" The second sister got into the car happily.
Then he looked at Fu Shiqi who was sitting in the passenger seat and asked, "Sister, who is the person next to you?"
"This is my friend, Fu Shiqi." Ji Xiao introduced, "He happened to be on vacation recently, so he came to our house to play for a few days."
Fu Shiqi smiled faintly and nodded to Ji Qiqi: "Hello, I'm Ji Xiao's friend, Fu Shiqi." Ji Qiqi politely extended her hand, Fu Shiqi shook it gently, and said enthusiastically: "Oh~ Then welcome to our home!"
"Thank you." Fu Shiqi responded politely.
Then Ji Qiqi looked at the snack bags in the arms of her two younger brothers, her eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise: "Wow, why are there so many snacks?"
Ji Xiao smiled and explained, "We are having a barbecue tonight and there are many people, so we bought some more snacks. We still have a lot of ingredients left, so we can save the rest for later."
Along the way, they talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Soon, the car drove to the house, and when it arrived at the door, Ji Xiao parked the car. Ji Qiqi couldn't wait to open the car door, then took out some of her favorite snacks from the trunk and walked into the house happily.
"Mom and Dad, we're back!" Ji Qiqi shouted loudly.
When Ji's father and mother heard the sound, they hurried out of the kitchen to greet them.
"Wow, you bought so many things!" Dad Ji looked at the bags that Ji Xiao and the others were carrying in surprise.
Afterwards, everyone moved the purchased items into the house, and it was getting late, so everyone started preparing the ingredients together.
Ji Xiao skillfully put spices into two large pots and stewed the ox and sheep trotters prepared by the boss, and then found another large pot to braise the beef tendon.
Fortunately, Ji Xiao's family has many big pots, because her mother bought them when she ran a breakfast shop. So their family may lack anything except pots, pans, and utensils.
Ji Xiao was busy preparing in the kitchen, and the others were not idle either. Xiao Rui, Xiao Li and Xiao Ze were responsible for washing the various vegetables and stringing them into strings.
They moved skillfully and coordinated well, and quickly completed all the tasks.
Ji Qiqi placed tables and chairs in the backyard, prepared all the tableware that would be used, and finally lit the charcoal fire and waited for the ingredients to be served and grilled.
My cousin Yueyue drove to my second uncle's house to pick up my grandmother, and then went to my aunt's house to pick up my aunt and two cousins.
Since his second uncle's cousin worked in a bank in the provincial capital and could not come back to attend the party this time, there were only him and his second aunt at his second uncle's house.
