Chapter 104 I'm Looking for Blackie
After everyone finished breakfast and closed the door, they all walked together toward the small fishing village.
Along the way, Yang Weijun was like a monkey, sometimes disappearing without a trace, sometimes suddenly appearing and making faces to scare the Wen siblings...
The Wen siblings were a little reserved at first, but after walking halfway, the three of them quickly started playing around together.
This was Zhu Huiwen's first time visiting the small fishing village, and she was amazed by the stunning seascape where the sky met the sea.
Seeing how thin the Bai brothers were and how they lived in what looked like a shack, their home practically bare, brought tears to my eyes. I looked at the Bai brothers with deep pity.
Because Qin Yingxue and her group had joined them, Bai Haijian, who had originally planned to walk, rented a car from Boss Hai.
It wasn't an oxcart or a car; it was Boss Hai's small truck used for hauling goods.
There's just a small cab in front, big enough for the driver and one other person.
Everyone gave this position to Zhu Huiwen.
Zhu Huiwen knew that everyone was taking care of her out of goodwill, and she couldn't refuse, so she could only sit in the passenger seat.
The others sat in the open rear compartment.
The trucks from 1980 were not standard vehicles; the roads were narrow and bumpy.
Qin Yingxue was lucky she didn't throw up her breakfast.
The five teenagers in the car, perhaps because it was their first time riding in a car, showed no discomfort whatsoever and were actually very excited.
They chattered away the whole way, making Qin Yingxue's ears ring.
After finally arriving in town, the first thing Qin Yingxue did after getting out of the car was to squat down by the roadside and gag.
I vomited for a long time, but nothing came out, and my stomach was still churning.
Zhu Huiwen quickly handed Qin Yingxue some boiled and cooled water. Qin Yingxue took it and drank a couple of sips before she felt like she was coming back to life.
"Auntie, I'm sorry..." Bai Haijian stood to the side, somewhat at a loss, his face full of regret.
He meant well but did something wrong.
He was so happy along the way that he ignored his aunt's pale face.
"I'm fine, I feel much better now." Qin Yingxue drank a few sips of the spiritual spring water while drinking water, and she felt much better.
Boss Hai's car was parked near the dock. Qin Yingxue saw many fishermen selling seafood at the dock and took a few children over to ask about the prices.
It's a little cheaper than Haishi, but a little more expensive than Baisha Village.
The first part is Qin Yingxue's conclusion, and the second part is Bai Haijian's answer.
Qin Yingxue had a plan in mind.
Qin Yingxue had originally planned to have Zhang San buy the seafood, but after what happened last night, she was quite frightened.
She felt it was best not to make any big moves for the time being, since doing business wasn't exactly rational right now.
If Zhang San were to buy seafood on a large scale, it would be too conspicuous and easily arouse suspicion.
Instead of wasting time, she should take Zhang San on more sea trips. By next year, Zhang San could openly acquire the property.
Having made up their minds, Qin Yingxue and the others headed towards the town's supply and marketing cooperative, led by Bai Haijian.
The town's supply and marketing cooperative was really small, just two storefronts, and there were only two sales clerks inside.
Fortunately, all the necessary daily necessities were available, as well as fabric shoes and other items.
Qin Yingxue took out her cloth coupons and bought a few pieces of cloth.
There are no ready-made garments, only fabric, and the selection is very limited, with only a few colors such as black, gray, cyan, and blue.
They do have cloth shoes, and even sandals.
But the styles are all outdated, and they look like old, worn-out items.
Seeing the children staring longingly at the candy and drooling, Qin Yingxue smiled and took out candy coupons, ordering half a pound of various kinds of candy.
The reason there was no White Rabbit candy wasn't because Qin Yingxue was unwilling to buy it, but because the supply and marketing cooperative didn't have any.
There were several kinds of snacks, and Qin Yingxue ordered a pound of each.
Since we've come all this way, we should use all the tickets.
Before leaving Qin Village, she only kept the national tickets; she gave the rest to Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe.
Whether they take it out or use it themselves is none of her business.
She was reluctant to give it to others herself.
She didn't want to wrong herself; she wanted to live a more enjoyable life.
Bai Haijian had money, but no tickets, and a conflicted expression appeared on his face.
Qin Yingxue is a shrewd person. Bai Haijian wouldn't come to town knowing he didn't have a ticket; he must have somewhere else to go...
Zhu Huiwen was a little tired, so Qin Yingxue told her to take the children and rest.
She then continued shopping with Bai Haijian.
"Your aunt follows you without saying a word," Qin Yingxue said before Bai Haijian could speak.
Bai Haijian was taken aback, then understood and led Qin Yingxue directly to a secluded path.
After several turns, he led Qin Yingxue into a small courtyard.
In the courtyard, several men were eyeing everyone menacingly. When they saw Bai Haijian and Qin Yingxue, they were about to speak up and drive them away, but Bai Haijian lowered his voice first and said, "I'm looking for Brother Hei."
The burly man glanced at Bai Haijian, then his gaze settled on Qin Yingxue.
Bai Haijian quickly grabbed Qin Yingxue's hand: "Auntie, let's go inside!"
Qin Yingxue let Bai Haijian pull her into a room, and her eyes lit up instantly.
The room wasn't big, but it was filled with a wide variety of items for sale.
It has a wide variety of products, and everything you could want is available, much more complete than the supply and marketing cooperative.
Of course, the price is almost twice that of the supply and marketing cooperative, but no coupons are required here.
Seeing Qin Yingxue pick up a pair of sandals with a look of curiosity, Bai Haijian felt relieved and went to choose what he wanted to buy.
The sandals are made of plastic, flat, and have a simple design, which suits Zhu Huiwen.
Qin Yingxue asked about the price, which was 3.8 yuan, and without hesitation, she bought a pair in size 36.
Then I bought a pair of sandals for the Wen siblings, and finally decided to buy a pair for Yang Weijun and the Bai brothers.
Six pairs of sandals cost 28.8 yuan. The salesman looked at Qin Yingxue as if he had seen gold, and a fawning smile appeared on his dry face, making him look somewhat ferocious.
Qin Yingxue found it offensive, but she couldn't tell the other person to stop laughing, so she could only lower her head and pretend she didn't see it.
After walking a few steps, Qin Yingxue selected two enamel basins and an iron pot. Feeling there was nothing else to buy, she paid and went to find Bai Haijian.
Iron pots were really expensive back then. A 26mm diameter iron pot cost 18.8 yuan, and Qin Yingxue felt a little pained when she paid for it.
A pot in the mall costs only 88 yuan, and it's made of composite materials.
But there was no way for her to use the mall's items under Song Yanchuan's nose.
Seeing that Bai Haijian had not only bought a pot, but also flour, rice, salt, soy sauce, sugar, and even bowls and chopsticks, he realized that he had almost bought everything he needed for the kitchen.
Seeing that Bai Haijian still wanted to buy fabric, Qin Yingxue stopped him: "You don't need to buy this. I just bought a lot of fabric at the supply and marketing cooperative, which I plan to use to make clothes for each of you."
"Then I'll give the money to my aunt," Bai Haijian said without much thought.
"No need to pay, see if there's anything else you want to buy," Qin Yingxue said with a smile.
"How can this be?" Bai Haijian's first reaction was to refuse.
"Listen to me, we'll talk about it when we get back." Qin Yingxue whispered to Bai Haijian as she saw a young man walking towards her.
