This is a grocery store.
Seeing someone coming over, a waitress raised a bright smile and said, "Girl, are you here to buy something? We all buy things with your ID card here. Have you brought it with you?"
"Bring it." Qin Wan showed her his ID card.
The other party saw the ID card and said, "Okay, come in and choose."
Qin Wan saw the eggs piled high at a glance. What surprised her was that the eggs were large and small, and they were not carved from the same mold.
"The little girl has a good eye!" the waitress gave a thumbs up, "These eggs are not genetically cloned in the past, they are eggs laid by real old hens. They are very nutritious. You can only buy two with one ID card. Two It’s a dime.”
Qin Wan used to dislike eating eggs. She disliked the tasteless egg whites and the greasy yolks. She could only eat a few bites of fried eggs. But now, thinking of the deliciousness of eggs, she swallowed unconsciously.
Their family doesn't have much money in their stomachs.
It's okay in the short term, but it will definitely take a toll on your body in the long run.
"I want two."
"Okay, I'll pick out two big ones for you and pack them up!"
She took a very small plastic bag.
Qin Wan looked at other items, including mutton, beef, pork, and a variety of meats with fancy names, but she knew that these were cloned from biological factories and smelled of medicine.
The meat was so bland that it was almost inedible.
However, chicken and fish are different. They are easier to breed. The waiter recommended these two to her. However, the breeding farm can only be developed after returning to the ground, otherwise it will become a special supply underground. Only the wood spirit master with the highest status can eat it.
Qin Wan shook her head and walked past them. She couldn't afford it.
I walked to the daily necessities and stopped when I saw toilet paper. Toilet paper, which was very common before the end of the world, has become rare. Can you imagine that their family uses cloth to go to the toilet?
Just like the diapers used by children in the past, they were washed, washed and dried before use.
If it was just like this, Qin Wan could bear it, but her aunt couldn't use such dirty cloth. Without auntie towels, she had to make do with disposable toilet paper.
She bought three rolls of toilet paper, also subject to purchasing restrictions.
It was a big roll, solid, and cost ten cents a roll. At this time, she only had ten cents left in her pocket.
Money is really money well spent, Qin Wan thought. She took one last souvenir look at the chicken and fish, both of which were delicious.
It was almost noon when she got home, and she hurriedly cooked sweet potato porridge. After the porridge was cooked, she hesitated when she looked at the two eggs.
Scrambled eggs were the most fragrant, but without a wok or oil, boiled eggs were the best, but she didn't think about it for the time being. She really wanted to make steamed egg custard, but in the end she chose to make egg soup.
Egg soup is the most affordable, and a family of three can drink a full bowl.
The weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, and she was not afraid of the rice getting cold. She took out the cooked sweet potato porridge and started making egg soup.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the aroma of egg soup wafted out, Qin Huijun and Qin Feng came back.
"Wow, sister, what did you do? It smells so good!"
Qin Feng was very supportive. He rushed over like a cannonball and took a deep breath.
Qin Wan said, "It's egg soup. If you have a bowl of soup before eating, your stomach will feel warm and comfortable. These are eggs laid by old hens, which are different from those made in biological factories!"
Qin Huijun hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.
Qin Wan saw what she was thinking and explained, "Mom, don't worry, these eggs are not expensive, you can buy two for a dime."
A strange and sinister voice sounded, "Xiao Qin, I'm afraid your daughter has been deceived. The eggs laid by the old hen are so precious, and you still daydream about buying two for a dime!"
It was Aunt Wang who also came back for dinner.
Aunt Li didn't say anything, but judging from her expression, she thought Qin Wan had been deceived.
Qin Wan smiled and said, "But Aunt Wang, I bought these eggs at a state-owned store. If the government specially subsidizes us people, you can't be a liar, right?"
"State-owned store?" Aunt Li raised her voice, "Do we also have a state-owned store in Yunshan City?"
Qin Wan nodded, "I went to the city today and saw what I saw. It should have just opened. The things inside are very affordable. You just need to bring your ID card, and there is a purchase limit. You can buy two eggs for a dime like this, but one identity You can only buy the certificate once a week, and they have special machines to identify it, so it can’t be faked.”
When she was checking out, the waitress asked for her ID card, swiped it on a credit card machine, and explained to her that she would have to wait a week if she wanted to make a purchase.
"Wanwan, you have been a big help, hurry up! Fengsheng, take out your father's and your sister's ID cards, let's go and buy them quickly."
Compared to Qin Wan, Aunt Li is very sensitive in this regard.
Even though there are many privately-owned stores outside, this state-owned store seems to be a backstop, but in fact a large number of important supplies are in the hands of the government. Putting state-owned stores with purchase restrictions is a benefit to ordinary people.
Of course, it's not uncommon for people with connections like that to know in advance.
Whoever can grab it is the winner.
Aunt Li didn't even care about the sweet potato rice simmering on the stove. She grabbed her ID card and called her family before running towards the city center.
Aunt Wang's speed was no slower than hers.
Many people who heard the news also rushed.
Qin Feng subconsciously looked at Qin Huijun, and Qin Huijun shook his head, "Our family doesn't have much money, so let's save it."
Qin Feng was a little disappointed. He had also experienced this kind of shopping in state-owned stores. Every time it was his turn, his family would have a big meal just like the Chinese New Year.
Qin Wan waved to him, "Come, let's drink the egg soup, it's very delicious."
She really didn't say this to coax Qin Feng. She didn't know whether it was because of the special post-apocalyptic environment or because this body had not been exposed to oil and water for a long time. She felt that the egg soup was particularly fragrant. It took three large bowls of such a small egg. The water is not bland, but rich.
"Wow, sister, there are so many egg flowers."
Qin Feng immediately became happy, holding his bowl and smiling brightly.
Yes, egg soup is so magical. It only uses one egg, but the visual effect seems to be that many eggs are used.
Qin Huijun also took her bowl, took a sip, and couldn't help but said, "This egg soup is indeed delicious and fragrant. It is indeed the eggs laid by the old hen."
Qin Wan was equally surprised.
The original owner's memory of natural food was very vague and distant, because her stepmother would not be kind enough to feed her natural food. Being able to eat artificial food instead of mineral nutrient solution was already a good day worth remembering for the original owner.
Through this bowl of egg soup, she completely understood the difference between artificial food and natural food.
To put it more miraculously, as soon as the egg soup entered her stomach, her dead internal organs seemed to come to life, and her body that had been aching aching no longer hurt so much. The most important thing was that the weak earth-type abnormality that had not improved at all in half a month Neng actually has an extra hair.
Natural food contains the vitality of the earth, which she had not discovered before!
Sure enough, you still have to make money.
When she gets money, she can buy natural food. Natural food can nourish her body and her superpowers. As her superpowers grow stronger, it will be easier for her to make money. This is a virtuous cycle.
Feeling tired, Qin Wan forced himself to finish the sweet potato porridge before lying on the bed and falling asleep.
Qin Huijun observed her pale face and touched her head, palms, armpits and other parts. She was relieved when she saw that there was no fever, and told Qin Feng, "Your sister is very tired, don't disturb her, let her Get some more sleep.”
If you have money, you can buy medicine and nutritional supplements when you are sick. If you don't have money, sleeping is the best way to recover.
When Qin Wan woke up again, the sky was already filled with sunset, and Qin Huijun was packing up the tent.
The only disadvantage of the small place is that if there are too many things piled up, it will look very messy.
"Mom, did you see the toilet paper I bought?" Qin Wan blinked hard and became more awake. "When your aunt comes, use that instead of cloth. If it's not clean, you'll get sick easily."
Qin Huijun said kindly.
When her father was still alive, she also used sanitary napkins. Later, she used cloth when she had no money. But at that time, she could find clean plant ashes, unlike now where she uses coal.
Qin Wan got out of bed, folded the quilt, and said, "I didn't find a job today."
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Qin Huijun's mood was very stable and she encouraged, "I can still do the land reclamation work for a while. Mr. Zhang told me that every land that is reclaimed must be planted with 007 sweet potatoes first. This breed is not very selective, so we recruit people from among our group. Look at the work records, I am sure you can get in. Your wood affinity is also 22. If you can't find it in the city, come with me. Work on this farm.”
Qin Wan didn't mind it either. It was always good to have an income.
She didn't say anything about the flower shop.
After leaving the shed, dinner was already being had next door. When Aunt Li saw her coming out, she gave her another roasted sweet potato and said happily, "Thanks to Wanwan, your news came in time. Our family has caught up with the last batch. This old mother The eggs laid by chickens are just different. Although chickens definitely taste better, our family can’t afford them. These eggs can also replenish the body.”
He hinted at the neighbor with a wink, "Aunt Wang like you, if you don't act virtuously, you won't be able to buy anything, and your face will be so bad."
Qin Wan also laughed, a little happy, and started to eat the sweet potatoes while peeling them.
Aunt Li added, "I also asked the staff member when they would have chicks for sale, and she yelled at me, but judging from the look on her face, it won't be long before she has chicks. I plan to buy a few and raise them. I want to taste this meat, what about your family?"
Qin Wan was a little moved.
Qin Feng whispered, "Mom, let's buy some chicks for our family. I will definitely take good care of them."
Qin Huijun thought about the price of eggs, and if there were chickens, it probably wouldn't be much higher, so she smiled and nodded.
Aunt Li slapped her thigh and said, "That's right. It's cheaper to raise it at home than to buy it from outside. It doesn't take much effort. Just build a chicken coop and just use the waste collected from the harvest. It's convenient and saves trouble."
Turning around, he looked at Qin Wan again, "Wanwan, aren't you looking for a job in the city? You are well-informed. If there are chickens for sale, don't hesitate. Order five for my family first. Any rooster or hen will do. I will give you the money then. If you have a good harvest, you are obviously picking up garbage in the city, but you don’t know about the opening of the state-owned store, so you are lucky."
Li Fengshou, who was sitting next to him, smiled sheepishly, touched his head, and looked at Qin Wan again.
Qin Wan didn't notice it, but finally understood the reason for Aunt Li's attentiveness. Thinking that the state-owned store was opened opposite Xinxin Huayu, she agreed, "Don't worry Aunt Li, if I see it, I will definitely buy it."
The next day, Qin Huijun gave Qin Wan another fifty cents, "We are almost done with the sweet potatoes at home. You can take some with you when you come back."
She went to the city as usual, and saw a group of people surrounding the flower shop from a distance.
"Old Zhao, this potted plant of yours is going to die, so just sell it to us cheaply!"
"Experts say it can't be saved. I think it's useless no matter how much I try. I might as well pick up the ones that are not dead and take them back to stir-fry."
"Yes, this is a natural plant after all. It should taste pretty good. I am willing to pay a higher price."
Qin Wan struggled to squeeze into the crowd and finally saw what the so-called natural plants looked like.
It’s actually a pothos!
