The next day, Xu Rongrong got up very early because he had to do some shopping, so he got up at six o'clock. The dishes he bought at this time were all very fresh and delicious. Xu Rongrong also worked hard for everyone's taste.
Open your eyes, get dressed, brush your teeth and wash your face, then open the window and ventilate the room that has been breathing all night.
Zhan Yiyang was still immersed in sleep. The whole villa was quiet, there was a faint gray on the horizon, the sun had not come out yet, and the air was so fresh that it made people sigh from the bottom of their hearts.
Xu Rongrong finished dressing up, took her handbag and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Sister-in-law Li had already gotten up, and the two little guys Dongdong and Xixi were sent to Zhan Yilin's room. There was no way that Sister-in-law Li had to accompany Xu Rongrong to buy things, otherwise she would not be able to handle the food for a group of people by herself.
"Sister-in-law Li, good morning." Xu Rongrong greeted Sister-in-law Li with a smile. Sister-in-law Li, who is the same age as Liang Shuxian, has already turned gray on her temples due to poor maintenance and more things to do than Liang Shuxian.
The corners of the eyes are even denser.
In addition, Mrs. Li is not as fat as Mrs. Ming, so the wrinkles on her body are more obvious, and she already looks like an old lady in her sixties or seventies.
"Good morning, Madam." Although she doesn't look very young, Mrs. Li's spirit is very good. The little old lady does things very neatly, and she is also very gentle and approachable, especially when she smiles, she feels
Very kind.
"Come on, Sister-in-law Li, today's task may be a bit heavy, thank you for your hard work." Xu Rongrong said with a smile.
"There's no such thing as hard work. You must have worked hard, young lady." Sister-in-law Li said with a smile. It seemed that she had a good rest last night.
"Okay, there's not much else to say. Let's go quickly. Time is running out." Xu Rongrong didn't waste any more nonsense. She was about to set off at ten o'clock. She had gotten up at six o'clock to wash herself and it was now almost six-thirty.
Well, including the round trip time, that means she has three hours to purchase things.
It took three hours to purchase food for a dozen people for several days, which was really a daunting task.
Seeing this, Sister-in-law Li stopped talking and directly stood up on tiptoes to follow Xu Rongrong. The two of them walked quickly.
When he got outside the door, he called out and Xu Rongrong went directly to the vegetable market.
If you want to buy the freshest vegetables, you must go to the vegetable market. The vegetables in those supermarkets may not be fresh, but the vegetables in the vegetable market must be very fresh.
Because the people who buy vegetables here are vegetable farmers, they pick the freshest vegetables to sell here early in the morning, so this vegetable market is quite large. Not only the nearby residents love to come here to buy vegetables, but also some Filipino maids from wealthy families.
I also come here to buy groceries.
Sister-in-law Li usually comes here to buy groceries. Before she got married, Xu Rongrong also loved to come here to buy groceries.
So the two of them took the familiar route to the very end of the vegetable market, where they sold fresh first-hand chicken.
The chickens here are all killed in front of you, and some people blanch the chickens in hot water and pluck out the feathers.
Xu Rongrong selected ten broiler chickens and asked Mrs. Li to wait here to get the cleaned and killed chickens. She went to the fish seller and bought six big, lively carps.
Someone also killed it specially, but the fish he was considering would not be fresh if killed, so Xu Rongrong rejected the proposal to kill the fish.
Because carps are very big, most people only buy one, and two are already given as gifts to guests. It is rare to see someone buy six at once, and it is a weak woman who buys them.
The net weight of six large carp is more than ten kilograms. In addition, in order to keep the fish alive, the water inside is deliberately put in, which weighs at least thirty or forty kilograms. Not to mention Xu Rongrong, even Zhan Yiyang was slightly strenuous to carry it.
However, this was not a problem for Xu Rongrong, because she was so familiar with this vegetable market that she even knew where the porters were.
The so-called porters are men who have nothing to do at home and go to the vegetable market to help those who have bought heavy fish, chickens, etc. but cannot carry them themselves. It only costs a few dozen yuan to deliver the things to their homes, which is cheap.
Very.
There were several porters next to this fish seller.
Xu Rongrong stepped forward and carefully observed the chattering men.
Looking at the thick limbs and a few twinkling eyes, they must be the kind of dishonest people who should not be wanted. As for the honest ones, they should be good.
Xu Rongrong nodded, but she didn't expect that she almost made the porters next to her look dumbfounded.
Usually when they are in their thirties or forties, the wives in the family are old, ugly, and fat. Even those who are not fat, their bellies are bulging due to childbirth, as if they are pregnant with twins all year round.
Their speech usually sounds like a bell, rough and rough, without any feminine grace, and their palms are as rough as a man's when stretched out.
Of course, this is the phenomenon of ordinary people's hard life. No poor person has beautiful skin and hands, let alone a beggar with a slim body and delicate skin.
If they want money and a life, those whose ancestors did not accumulate any virtue or left any property can only use their efforts to exchange for a small amount of money, and then struggle to survive in this world.
Therefore, it is understandable that in those families at the grassroots level, the women have strong voices and strong bodies, but they are not like women at all. And those men are used to seeing women, and the women around them are like this too. There is no difference, so they don't take it seriously.
.
Okay, now, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared in front of them.
This beauty is not the kind of beauty who uses heavy makeup to dress up like a fairy. There is no makeup on her clean face, not even foundation. It can be said to be a sketch.
However, this is not the most important reason why these gentlemen are stunned. After all, no matter how poor people are in this era, they still have TVs at home. Women are not beautiful, but you can watch beautiful women on TV.
However, the women on TV are not real after all, and although those "beauties" who wear overly revealing clothes and make-up with glamorous makeup are a feast for the eyes, they are also despised from the bottom of their hearts.
So these rough old men were shocked by Xu Rongrong's clean, noble and elegant temperament, and of course, her beauty.
To be fair, Xu Rongrong's appearance is not stunning. Her eyebrows do not have any enchanting temperament. What she does have is a faint, pure and flawless feeling.
But this kind of feeling is rarely seen in this era of fancy clothes.
No matter it's the aunts who come and go shopping for groceries, the little girls, or the so-called actresses wearing revealing and sexy clothes on TV, none of them can compare to the feeling this woman brings to people, which makes people yearn for and like her.
So for a moment, several rough gentlemen were stunned. Almost at the same time, they said in unison, "How can there be such a clean, elegant and noble woman, and at the same time beautiful... so attractive
…”
"Ahem..." Xu Rongrong frowned at the looks of several men. She put her fist to her mouth and coughed lightly.
Several men were awakened, a few honest ones lowered their heads in shame, and a few dishonest ones dodged and continued to peek at Xu Rongrong.
Xu Rongrong touched his forehead and said, "Brothers, can you please help me send the groceries I bought back to you, and I will give you two hundred each as revenge."
She was facing those two men who looked very honest.
"Really?" The two honest men raised their heads in surprise. A normal delivery cost only thirty or forty yuan. The one who could give fifty was already very generous. But they didn't expect that this beautiful woman today would say this as soon as she opened her mouth.
Two hundred, this is several days' income.
"Yes, it's just that I have a lot of things, which may tire the two eldest brothers." Xu Rongrong said with a faint smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Whatever you need, we'll take it." The two men waved their hands quickly to show that they were very strong, for fear that Xu Rongrong would not choose them.
"Two big brothers, I'm in a hurry to buy something, can you come with me quickly?" Xu Rongrong ignored the dissatisfied looks from the side and smiled at the two of them.
"Okay." The two of them agreed hurriedly, and followed Xu Rongrong to carry the fish bag.
Xu Rongrong quickly returned to the place where the chickens were sold. Another man picked up ten slaughtered chickens and followed behind Xu Rongrong.
"I bought chicken and meat. I have eggs and tomatoes at home. Let's buy some vegetables, some mutton and some pickled seasonings. By the way, we must not forget to add carbon." Xu Rongrong muttered as he walked.
She quickly went to the vegetable stall and bought some eggplants, cauliflower, and potatoes. These tasted good when cut and roasted and sprinkled with cumin. However, considering that most people were carnivores, Xu Rongrong did not buy too much, just
Bought part of it.
Then she went to the spice store and bought several large bags of cumin and secret sauce, and finally bought four legs of lamb.
For barbecue, mutton is the most important thing. I bought chicken and fish mainly because the two old people's stomachs are not so good. It will be difficult to digest if they eat too much mutton. So I just let them eat chicken and fish which are easier to digest.
At the last stop at the grocery store, Xu Rongrong bought two bags of high-quality charcoal, three large tongs, and more than a hundred stainless steel skewers, which are used to thread food on the tongs and bake them.
Of course, since the folder is in shape, you don’t need to sign it.
However, considering that we were going on a barbecue after all, it felt weird without this lottery ticket, so Xu Rongrong bought two lottery tickets.
When they finally prepared to return, the two big men were already full of things. However, Xu Rongrong promised to give them enough money, so the two of them sent a lot of things back to the battlefield without any complaints.
Old house.
The four of them sat on the return journey, but because the bags carried by the two big men were too bulging, Xu Rongrong had no choice but to hail a van and put everything in.
In this way, after all kinds of troubles and twists and turns, Xu Rongrong finally arrived at the door of Zhan's house in a minivan at 9:50.
