C98 (1/2)
What Jiang Xiaobai took out was a compressed biscuit.
Now that society had developed, this sort of thing that used to only exist in the army was nothing out of the ordinary in some supermarkets.
A small compressed biscuit was enough to last an adult a day.
However, the taste was not very good. Furthermore, it was as hard as a stone.
Jiang Xiaobai had no other choice. He had planned to buy some cake cookies or something if Wei Qiuyue didn't want to eat them.
Maybe she was scared by Jiang Xiaobai's slap just now, or maybe Wei Qiuyue was really used to the taste, she took a bite out of the compressed biscuit, and unexpectedly revealed a smile on her face, and said: ”The taste is strange, it's just some proper food!”
Jiang Xiaobai heaved a sigh of relief and immediately poured himself a cup of water from the water dispenser.
The compressed biscuit was too hard. It was easier to swallow with water.
Seeing Wei Qiuyue slowly yet gracefully eat the compressed biscuits, Jiang Xiaobai took out his phone and said as he walked outside, ”Qiu Yue, I'm going out to settle some matters. You don't need to walk all over the place. If anyone comes, you can say that this place is closed and that there is no business here for the time being. ”
Wei Qiuyue walked to the door, looked anxiously at Jiang Xiaobai, and said: ”Husband will return soon, Qiu Yue will be waiting for you!”
I'll just go for a while. How can I get involved with my early return?
In those days, it seemed, it was common for men not to return home for years, and women were used to it.
Jiang Xiaobai had two things to do, one of them was to buy food for Wei Qiuyue.
Wei Qiuyue would definitely stay here for a period of time, and since it was impossible for Jiang Xiaobai to guard her at all times, he had to prepare some food for her.
Instant noodles, cakes, biscuits, and bread were all required, as well as fruit juice and mineral water.
Jiang Xiaobai reckoned that he had to prepare at least five days worth of food and water for Wei Qiuyue.
The second thing was to call Widow Chen. It seemed like she wouldn't be able to go back during the day, so he had to tell her.
Otherwise, if the Widow Chen attacked, the problem would be very serious.
However, even though Jiang Xiaobai had called the Widow Chen's number three times, he was never at the service area.
It was very obvious that the Widow Chen had already gone to the Locust Tree Slope, or perhaps even to the Tiger's Mouth.
Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to leave a message to the Widow Chen, claiming that she had not found the matter of purchasing and would only be able to return at night.
The third thing he did was to call the Master Bu. Jiang Xiaobai had just taken out a large pile of things from Wei Qiuyue's room yesterday, asking him to come and estimate the price.
Money is tight and many major purchases are not possible.
Master Bu's phone call quickly connected. The moment he heard Jiang Xiaobai's voice, he became very excited.
It was obvious that although he had failed the last time, he had gained a lot from the transaction.
Jiang Xiaobai said succinctly, there was another batch of goods that he wanted Master Bu to give him.
”Where's the photo? Send it over to me!” Master Bu's breathing hastened. He had already tasted the sweetness.
”No photos!” Jiang Xiaobai said: ”But I can guarantee that it will be even better than the goods we received last time. Master Bu, if you have the time, come over and talk to us. ”
”No photos...” Master Bu was hesitant.
Jiang Xiaobai laughed: ”Are you worried that I will cheat you for your money? Don't worry, I don't need you to bring much cash. I'll look at the goods first. If you're satisfied, then take them away. Just transfer the money to me. ”
”Mr. Jiang feels good!” Master Bu laughed and said: ”I will set off right now, we will arrive in about an hour!”
”Alright, I'll wait for you. When we get there, let me give you a call, I'll send you my location! ” Jiang Xiaobai hung up the phone and walked straight into a street supermarket.
