Chapter 324 Vegetable Market
Bai Meimei is a cheerful and smart woman. Since that day, Li Luyou wanted to continue to fight with the little hooligan, Bai Meimei has decided to abandon him and run away first. It can be seen that she will not limit herself to some kind of restrictive constraints.
So when he came to Zhonghai, Bai Meimei still made herself work hard and happy. When Li Luyou saw her, she was watching Deyun Club's crosstalk and laughing.[]
"Can you understand?" Li Luyou couldn't help but wonder. The name Bai Meimei was indeed hard to imagine that she was a white American beauty, and crosstalk was a national treasure... But thinking about her Chinese dialect and understanding of Chinese history, culture and society were enough to make many elites who were eager to leap into the Pacific Ocean ashamed, Li Luyou felt relieved. After all, these elites occasionally showed elegant reserved and lowered smiles when listening to crosstalk.
"I want to go to the vegetable market. It's such a magical place. I swear, that must be the first stop for foreigners to understand China. Seven things about opening the door for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea have run through Chinese history and the lives of Chinese people. I can learn a lot in it..." Bai Meimei hurriedly went to change her clothes, "You go with me."
Li Luyou knew that in addition to large supermarkets near the community, there was usually a vegetable market that provided more affordable prices for daily life. He nodded and went to Xie Xiaoan's room, where there was no one inside.
"Did Xie Xiaoan leave early in the morning?" Li Luyou and Bai Meimei went downstairs together.
"Yes, I probably left early in the morning, but I left me a note and said a lot. It's a good person. You should be kind to her. I like this daughter-in-law very much." Bai Meimei found a small basket for cosmetics in the bathroom, and held it in her hand and felt a little proud, feeling that she looked like a Chinese wife.
"Do you want me to call you mom?" Li Luyou was really helpless about Bai Meimei. After all, it was impossible to be like an ordinary woman, and it was impossible to really be an elder.
"How can you be so embarrassed? After all, it's not that you live together. Your dad is not by your side. I am just a woman who is a few years older than you. Walking on the road, others will think we are lovers, but how can you know that I am actually your stepmother..." Bai Meimei touched her face and smiled, "When you say that others know that I am your stepmother, will you think I am a shameless woman?"
"You are a foreigner, and others don't think so. Many people insist that sacrificing youth for money and power does not exist in foreign countries... Besides, there is no need to care about other people's thoughts. There is also no need to care about other people's thoughts, no matter what couple it is, or stepmother it is. Can you say less of these embarrassing words?" Li Luyou reminded Bai Meimei. Her straightforward personality makes Li Luyou feel comfortable speaking and not too implicit.
"Okay, I still have a common language with Xie Xiaoan, and I like Qiao Niannu very much," Bai Meimei shrugged and said indifferently.
"You haven't even spoken to Xie Xiaoan. Are you sure Qiao Niannu, you like it very much? She is Lin Jiangxian's number one confidant, true heir, Lin Jiangxian's spokesperson in government organizations, and the person who directly exercises Lin Jiangxian's power." Li Luyou already understood why Qiao Niannu dared to force himself to the so-called immediate boss and direct leader... In the eyes of Lin Jiangxian, there is probably no one who is not a tool for her to achieve her goals. She naturally does not have to be afraid or surrender to any national government. Qiao Niannu has Lin Jiangxian's support, so naturally she doesn't need to give ordinary people too much face.
Li Luyou even vaguely felt why even a vice-national level like Ye Qiming didn't know much about this organization. This organization actually only belonged to Lin Jiangxian. The superficial power of the state government did not override it, unless someone could balance Lin Jiangxian.
"I said Xie Xiaoan left me a message, and the words revealed a kind of respect for my mother-in-law. I know that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a supreme contradiction in China, but the stepmother and daughter-in-law should not exist, because they do not love the same man..." After Bai Meimei finished speaking, she glanced at Li Luyou worriedly and said quickly: "But I still love you. You are so cute, and your feelings can be cultivated slowly."
"Okay, I found that you are really speaking Chinese well, but there are still some problems with your understanding." Li Luyou shook his head.
Bai Meimei looked at him in confusion.
"It's nothing." Li Luyou was too lazy to explain. He asked her not to mention embarrassing topics such as couples and stepmothers, but those words just now still embarrassed Li Luyou.
"Last night, Qiao Niannu lived here after her date with you. I don't know when she left... But when she came back, I hadn't gone to bed, so I talked to her for a while. The topics were all about you... Although I was not very interested, I pretended to be very interested and asked about you. She said a lot, and at the same time she also revealed a kind of... "
"Stop...stop...the vegetable market has arrived." Li Luyou pointed ahead. It seemed that he should not worry about a chatterbox at any time. She could piao Tianwen endlessly and relieve the gloom in her heart.
Bai Meimei immediately forgot about the topic just now and happily felt the daily life of the Chinese people with a basket.
"This dish is called cabbage. You don't have it in the United States. It costs ten yuan per kilogram." The aunt who sold the vegetables glanced at Bai Meimei and introduced enthusiastically, "It is rich in a variety of vitamins and nutrients and is a specialty of our Chinese."
"So expensive?" Bai Meimei was startled.
"It's just ten dollars, but I only charge RMB, so you can count 60 yuan per kilogram." The aunt generously gave a discount because the RMB against the US dollar jumped to more than 1:6 again.
"Auntie, do you think I'm an idiot? I can buy a truckload of cabbage for 60 yuan. This is cabbage, not platinum!" Bai Meimei said angrily, and then said to Li Luyou who came over, "I'm going to dye my hair black and wear black contact lenses. Thank God, thanks to the person who invented contact lenses. Contact lenses and sanitary napkins are the greatest inventions in the world."
The aunt was a little embarrassed, but she immediately said indifferently: "This cabbage is good, 50 cents per pound. Don't look at other people's beautiful appearance, but the core is rotten, mine doesn't."
Bai Meimei looked at it proudly, but she didn't plan to buy it because her basket couldn't hold a cabbage at all.
"How do you know the price of cabbage?" Li Luyou followed and was worried that she would be slaughtered.
"Of course I have done my homework. McDonald's and KFC have raised prices again, which is even more expensive than those sold in the United States. Your prices have risen sharply, but they are not as exaggerated as 60 yuan per kilogram of cabbage. I said that if your prices rise again, you can ask the government to kneel down. Even the prices cannot be controlled. What is the socialist system?" Bai Meimei was choosing carrots. The stall owner obviously noticed that Bai Meimei is a Chinese official and did not shout for prices.
Li Luyou didn't tell her this. For Li Luyou, complaining is meaningless. Since he is powerless to change anything, he can only change himself and work harder to make himself ignore these issues.
Even Lin Jiangxian had no way to bring rice back to the era when it was one dollar per pound and lean meat was six dollars per pound, although that was only five or six years ago.
Li Luyou chatted with Bai Meimei for a while, and had a "hot pot" made by Bai Meimei at noon, and then regretted it... he could only comfort himself. After all, the fried two eggs from Annanxiu were delicious, at least he could wait until the dish was cooked before eating.
In the afternoon, Li Luyou went to pick up Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu was locked up near Yuanhu Mountain, which was responsible for the non-ordinary human problems near Yuanhu Mountain. Xiuxiu was found walking an oil tanker near Yuanhu Mountain.
Li Luyou found the address given by Qiao Niannu, which turned out to be a so-called private club, which could probably avoid ordinary people from entering.
To Li Luyou's surprise, the unfathomable, incommunicable, and incomprehensible crab was imprisoned. The staff here were all relaxed and there was no solemnity of the dangerous animals being held.
"It's really cute." The one who led Li Luyou to pick up Xiuxiu was Da Qiao, one of the sisters who often cooperated with Qiao Niannu.
"That's because you didn't see it playing fruit ninja..." Li Luyou was more helpless with Xiuxiu than An Nanxiu. After all, An Nanxiu can communicate, but Xiuxiu is completely unable to communicate. It can't even understand An Nanxiu's orders.
Da Qiao laughed, because her face and figure were somewhat similar to Qiao Niannu, she had a charming style.
When Li Luyou saw Xiuxiu, he actually just saw crab hotpot.
"We received a report yesterday. When we arrived at the scene, Xiuxiu had already run away. According to the traces left by the tanker truck, we found her traces in a night market near the highway... She was still a crab at the time. For some reason, she suddenly jumped into the hot pot at the roadside stall, which scared the people who ate the hot pot... We bought the hot pot with the stall owner, and she had been lying in the hot pot without moving." Da Qiao pointed to the hot pot, "We kept adding water and burning the fire, and it had not moved until now."
No wonder the staff here are very relaxed. If you want to catch this stupid crab, it will fall into the trap of a hot pot. Li Luyou doesn’t understand. She is in Yuanhushan these days. Don’t she have the opportunity to take a hot spring by the sea?
However, trying to analyze Xiuxiu's behavior seems to be a stupid behavior that is more difficult to understand than Xiuxiu's many behaviors, and Li Luyou no longer continues.
Li Luyou took a pair of chopsticks, picked Xiuxiu out of the hot pot, and threw it on the ground.
Xiuxiu shook her eyes and seemed to wake up. She turned around twice before she realized that she was on the ground. She hurriedly jumped into the hot pot.
Li Luyou grabbed it out again, Xiuxiu turned around the ground twice, and finally found Li Luyou. She shook her eyes happily and turned into the appearance of a little girl. She stood in front of Li Luyou in a small pajama with a flowery cloth plaid and held Li Luyou's fingers.
"Let's go back." Xiuxiu's action made Li Luyou feel soft. This was probably the action that Tiantian taught her with her.
Xiuxiu nodded, which surprised Li Luyou. She actually understood. Did Xiuxiu become smarter during this period?
Xiuxiu pointed to the hot pot again.
"Can we take this hot pot back?" Li Luyou asked. There was actually one at home.
"Of course." Da Qiao nodded with a smile.
Xiuxiu quickly picked up the hot pot and poured it on her head without hesitation.
Li Luyou slapped his face and felt deeply ashamed of An Nanxiu. He even had no face. Seeing the hot pot on his head, he was wet and covered in the smell of spicy hot pot, as well as many ginger, garlic, peppers, beef, and a little girl with a lot of juice... How could he imagine that Xiuxiu would become smarter?
